Operational result before special items<br />
<strong>PUMA</strong> achieved a solid operating result of € 63.1 million<br />
in the second quarter versus € 62.3 million last year. As<br />
a percentage of sales this relates to a margin of 10.5%<br />
compared to 10.8%.<br />
After six months the operating result was down 5.9%<br />
from € 188.1 million to € 177.1 million. The operating<br />
margin stood at 13.6% compared to 15.0% last year.<br />
Special Items – Restructuring charge<br />
The reengineering and restructuring program that led to<br />
a one-time charge of 110 million in the first quarter will,<br />
for the most part, be finalized at the end of 2010. The<br />
program should provide for a more efficient business<br />
platform aligned to an expectedly challenging<br />
environment in the upcoming quarters.<br />
Taking the special items into account, EBIT after six<br />
months amounted to € 67.1 million compared to € 188.1<br />

Financial result<br />
The financial result reflects negative € 2.1 million for the<br />
second quarter versus an income of € 0.1 million last<br />
year. Negative € 3.7 million impacted the first half, while<br />
last year showed an income of € 1.0 million. Significantly<br />
lower interest rates and the accumulation of interest on<br />
purchase price liabilities led to this negative impact on<br />
the financial result.<br />
Earnings<br />
The company’s pre-tax profit (EBT) accounts for € 61.0<br />
million in the second quarter versus € 62.4 million last<br />
year. Net earnings totaled € 38.5 million versus € 45.6<br />
million, a decline of 15.6%. This results in earnings per<br />
share of € 2.55 compared to € 2.98 in the quarter.<br />
Before restructuring costs, EBT accounts for € 173.4<br />
million versus € 189.2 million for the first half and net<br />
earnings for € 128.4 million versus € 135.7 million, a<br />
decline of 5.4%. As a consequence, earnings per share<br />
were at € 8.51 compared to € 8.74. The operational tax<br />
ratio was calculated at 26.5% versus last year’s 28.5%.<br />
