- EXECUTIVE AND SUPERVISORY BOARDS’ PROPOSALS ADOPTED BY LARGE MAJORITY OF SHAREHOLDERS
- DIVIDEND FOR FISCAL 2011 IS €2.20
- 2012 SALES AND EARNINGS FORECAST REAFFIRMED
Munich, May 16, 2012 – Following volume gains in the first three months of 2012, Wacker Chemie AG expects strong demand to continue in the second quarter of 2012. Rudolf Staudigl, CEO of the Munich-based chemical company, underscored this point at WACKER’s 2012 Annual Shareholders’ Meeting. "Polysilicon demand remains high and Siltronic plans to generate positive EBITDA," he said. In Q1 2012, WACKER’s sales and earnings figures were markedly better compared to Q4 2011.
Staudigl reaffirmed the full-year forecast. He said that sales should reach some €5 billion, and earnings before interest, taxes, depreci-ation and amortization (EBITDA) would probably be significantly below 2011’s level (€1.1 billion) due to lower year-over-year poly-silicon prices.
Of 2011’s Group net income of €356.1 million (2010: €497.0 million), WACKER is paying out a total of €109.3 million (2010: €159.0 million) to its shareholders. The dividend per dividend-entitled share is €2.20 (2011: €3.20). The Executive and Supervisory Boards’ other proposals were also adopted by large majorities.
