C.A.T. oil AG / Publication of Annual Results 2014
The annual results 2014 of C.A.T. oil AG prepared in accordance with
internationally recognized accounting standards (IFRS) show total revenues of
EUR 411.5 million, compared to the prior-year level of EUR 426.6 million.
Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) were down
slightly by 0.4% in a year-on-year comparison, declining from EUR 114.9 million
to EUR 114.5 million.
Against the backdrop of a decreasing cost of sales, which fell 6.7% to EUR 318.3
million (2013: EUR 341.2 million), consolidated net income increased 11% in the
past financial year to EUR 50.8 million compared to EUR 56.5 million in the
previous year.
Earnings per share amounted to EUR 1.16 in 2014, up from the prior-year figure
of EUR 1.04. The EBITDA margin climbed to 27.8% in 2014 from 26.9% in 2013.
Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) rose by 7.2% to EUR 69.2 million (2013:
64.6 million). The EBIT margin improved from 15.1% in 2013 to 16.8% in 2014.
The equity ratio fell from 71.4% as of December 31, 2013 to 45.3% at the
reporting date of December 31, 2014, which can be mainly attributed to the
significant increase in non-current liabilities.
The Supervisory Board and Management Board will propose that the Annual General
Meeting approve distribution of a dividend of EUR 0.12 per share for 2014 (2013:
EUR 0.35 per share).
Further details on the annual results of C.A.T. oil AG will be provided within
the context of a supplementary press release on April 27, 2015. The publication
