HEXPOL’s Annual General Meeting (AGM)

President’s address to the meeting At HEXPOL AB’s AGM today, Georg Brunstam, Group President and CEO, commented on key events during 2009 and the first quarter of 2010. Among other points, he noted that 2009 was one of the most turbulent years ever experienced. 2009 was a good year for HEXPOL, which reported robust earnings, with higher margins and a sharp reduction in net debt in the face of a highly challenging market. Georg Brunstam noted that the first-quarter performance was very strong, with a sharp rise in sales volumes. Earnings per share more than doubled and operating profit totalled 87 MSEK, up 89 per cent, representing an operating margin of 11.7 per cent (7.1). The acquisition of the VTC TPE Group (ELASTO Group) was also presented. The acquisition strengthens HEXPOL’s leading position as the global supplier of polymer-based compounds (compounding).
