Brilon, March 22, 2016: CENTROTEC Sustainable AG, Brilon, increased its revenue by 3.6 % in the 2015 financial year, taking the total to EUR 549.8 million (previous year EUR 530.5 million). The operating result (EBIT) rose by the same rate to EUR 32.1 million (previous year EUR 31.0 million). The reduced interest expense and a lower effective tax rate yielded improved earnings per share (EPS) of EUR 1.18 (previous year EUR 1.00). The shareholders are to participate in this development and in the further-improved financial structure through an increased dividend of EUR 0.25 (previous year EUR 0.20). CENTROTEC believes it is well positioned to profit from the bright medium and long-term prospects offered by the global megatrends of energy efficiency and climate protection. In the short term, too, the key framework conditions are fundamentally positive, with continuing growth for the core market Germany and a gradual recovery in some European markets for heating and climate control solutions. On the other hand the development in energy prices is difficult to forecast. A low level over an extended period will inhibit the propensity to invest in energy-saving heating and ventilation technology. A renewed flaring-up of the still-simmering conflicts in Russia and the Arab world as well as the latent problems in the eurozone could equally undermine the business performance in the current year. Against this backdrop, CENTROTEC anticipates moderate growth in revenue (EUR 550 to 570 million) and in the operating result (EBIT EUR 32 to 35 million) for the 2016 financial year as a whole.

CENTROTEC Sustainable AG CENTROTEC Sustainable AG enjoys a presence in around 50 different countries through subsidiaries and sales partners. The principal group companies are Wolf, Brink Climate Systems and Ned Air in the Climate Systems segment, specialising in heating, climate control and ventilation technology e.g. in the form of solar thermal systems, CHP units and home ventilation systems with heat recovery, as well as Ubbink and Centrotherm in the Gas Flue Systems segment, with their focus on gas flue and air piping systems.
