Half Year Results
Deufol SE: Results of the first half year 2014
- Sales EUR 141.5 million (previous year EUR 154.4 million)
- EBITDA EUR 6.6 million (previous year EUR 6.6 million)

Hofheim, August 14, 2014
Sales trend
Total sales in the first six months of 2014 were at EUR 141.5 million 8.4 %
lower than in the same period in the previous year. Adjusted for changes to
the scope of consolidation, the change amounts to - 5.5 %. Also adjusted
for the depreciation of the US dollar versus the euro, which averaged 4.3
%, this decline amounts to 4.7 %. The remainder of the change in sales is
attributable to the disposal of unprofitable business.
Operating result a good 10 % higher
The operating result (EBITA) amounted to EUR 3.0 million and was thus a
good 10 % higher than the previous year's figure of EUR 2.7 million.
The result for the period amounts to EUR 0.57 million, compared to - EUR
0.07 million in the first six months of 2013. After deduction of the profit
shares for noncontrolling interests (EUR 0.04 million), a net profit of EUR
0.53 million (previous year: - EUR 0.14 million) is attributable to the
shareholders of Deufol SE. Earnings per share in the first six months were
EUR 0.012 (previous year: - EUR 0.003).
Financing
In Germany, the existing syndicated loan agreement has been adjusted by
means of an amendment. In this respect, improvements were realized in the
financial covenants specified in the loan agreement. In addition, the
existing financing leeway has been expanded. This includes the grant of
options for an extension of the term and an increase in the financing
volume.
Action for damages against former employees
Deufol SE has brought a further action against its former CEO, Andreas
Bargende, for the recovery of a sum of EUR 2.05 million. This reflects the
public prosecutor's investigations into unexplained payments in this amount
made by the former managing director of Deufol West GmbH, Manfred
Wagner, to Andreas Bargende and a company owned by Bargende and his family.
The discovery of these previously unknown facts has also improved the
prospects of success in the action for damages which is already pending,
with a volume of EUR 26.9 million.
In the second quarter unscheduled one-off costs in the amount of EUR 0.4
million have resulted in connection with the public prosecutor's
investigations and the action for damages.
