2010/2011<br />

Profit doubled<br />

Components Technology further strengthened its earnings in 2010/2011, achieving EBIT of €543 million,<br />

more than double the prior-year figure. The earnings include a €40 million impairment reversal at the US<br />

foundry group Waupaca. Due to the improved sales situation in the USA and numerous customer orders the<br />

Etowah plant in Tennessee, idled during the demand crisis, was reopened. Adjusted EBIT at €503 million<br />

also showed a significant increase from the prior year.<br />

Key factors in the substantial improvement in earnings were our good operating performance as well as our<br />

restructuring measures. These structural measures sustainably reduced cost levels and improved<br />

profitability. Compared with the prior year, EBIT margin increased from 4.4% to 7.9%.<br />

After the restructuring of the shipyards the Marine Systems business area will focus exclusively on naval<br />

shipbuilding in the future as part of the Group’s strategic development. In the reporting year we continued<br />

the ship repair and component manufacturing operations, which are classified as held for sale, and worked<br />

through yacht orders to a limited extent.<br />
