Financial Figures/Balance Sheet
Linz, 20.1.2016. S&T AG remains on course for further growth. According to
preliminary figures, S&T's revenues from sales in financial year 2015 came to
nearly EUR 465 million after EUR 386 million in financial year 2014. This rise
was largely due to the excellent business done in the fourth quarter. The
planned consolidated income in 2015 had been EUR 15 million. Preliminary figures
indicate that this figure was exceeded in 2015.
S&T's strong earnings are causing its management to propose to pay a dividend of
8 cents for the financial year 2015 (2014: 7 cents; 2013: 6 cents).
Sales are forecast to rise to app. 500 million in financial year 2016, with
consolidated income set to proportionally increase even further.
