In the financial year just ended, record revenues and solid earnings level have been achieved. Accordingly an increased dividend of 55 cents per share is set to be proposed to the Annual General Meeting on 30 June 2014 after 50 cents per share in the previous year. This means that MBB Industries AG has continuously increased the dividend from 15 cents to 55 cents since its IPO in 2006. Based on audited and final data, consolidated revenue 2013 increased by 11.4% to EUR228.2 million from EUR204.9 million in the previous year. Consolidated earnings in 2013 amounted to EUR13.5 million or EUR2.09 per share. Because of the first-time application of the amended IAS 19 previous years' earnings have been adjusted from EUR13.4 million to EUR13.6 million or EUR2.11 per share. Due to the good earnings situation MBB Industries AG capital resources further improved despite the dividend payment of more than EUR3 million in the financial year 2013. Equity rose from EUR57.4 million as at the end of 2012 to EUR67.8 million as at the end of 2013. The Group's liquidity climbed to EUR54.9 million after EUR45.2 million in the previous year. Thus, MBB Industries has sufficient liquidity to press ahead with both organic growth of the Group and acquisitions. MBB Industries expects to continue its profitable growth course in 2014 with sales of more than EUR250 million.
