• EBT increased by 23.8% to EUR 71.9 million • Total revenue declined
by 10.3% to EUR 588.1 million due to economic conditions • Slight 
recovery from the third quarter onwards - forecasting remains 
difficult
Vienna, February 18, 2010 - Despite the difficult economic 
environment, Semperit once again succeeded in improving earnings in 
2009 compared to the previous year. This development can mainly be 
attributed to sustained strong demand in the Sempermed division, 
which achieved significant increases in revenues and profits.
2008     2009      Change in %
                                       preliminary
Revenue in EUR million        655.3    588.1     -10.3
EBT in EUR million            58.1     71.9      +23.8
Although Group revenue declined in nearly all other areas to EUR 
588.1 million in total (previous year: EUR 655.3 million) due to a 
considerable slump in demand, the Semperit Group improved earnings 
before tax (EBT) by 23.8% to EUR 71.9 million. An important 
contribution to this was made by the comprehensive cost-reduction 
program, which was successfully implemented in the period under 
review on both the personnel and material side.
Performance of the divisions Demand for surgical and examination 
gloves was not affected by the general economic develop-ments. 
Against this background, the Sempermed division increased revenue by 
11.7% to EUR 271.4 million. The Sempertrans division also exhibited 
solid development under the prevailing circumstances, achieving 
revenue of EUR 114.9 million (previous year: EUR 127.5 million). The 
Semperflex and Semperform divisions had to cope with significant 
losses of revenue of minus 36.5% to EUR 105.3 million and minus 19.0%
to EUR 96.5 million respectively.
Outlook Overall, the Semperit Group coped well with the 2009 economic
crisis. Through consistent reduction of personnel and material costs,
the company succeeded in quickly adapting its cost structure to the 
changed demand situation. However, despite the slight improvement in 
the global economy, it remains difficult to make predictions about 
future business development. In addition, the increase in raw 
material prices, which began in the second half of 2009, led to 
increased competitive pressure. Although the difficult economic 
situation will continue in 2010, the Management Board expects 
satisfactory results for the 2010 financial year.
Final results will be presented on April 6, 2010.
