The after- tax earnings figure of EUR2.2 million (previous year: EUR1.6 million) includes the business in Singapore that is currently being discontinued. Due to the disposal of assets as part of the shutdown, the Singapore operations reported EBIT and after-tax income of EUR0.3 million each. A geographic overview shows that in Europe, sales revenues remained stable at EUR94.6 million, while in America they increased from EUR9.3 million to EUR13.4 million. The Middle East benefited from the persistent increase in demand for passive fire protection and was able to nearly double sales from EUR7.0 million to EUR13.7 million. The business trend in the Rest of the World was also positive, with sales revenues increasing from EUR4.8 million to EUR5.7 million. A breakdown by business segment shows that in the Ship segment the completion of some major projects and a more selective approach to choosing follow-up projects resulted, as expected, in a EUR19.0 million decrease in sales revenues to EUR32.5 million during the first half. The other business segments were able to increase sales. In the area of Oil & Gas, the company generated EUR33.9 million of sales - a significant increase over the prior- year figure of EUR24.2 million. The Renewables segment managed to more than double sales revenues to EUR18.4 million. The Industry/Infrastructure business also reported an increase in sales to EUR43.1 million for the first half of 2016 (previous year: EUR34.1 million). Consistent sales and EBIT of between EUR5 million and EUR7 million are still expected for the full year 2016. The company's key performance indicators1 are shown in the following table.
