We happy to be able to inform you of positive business developments across all divisions of the Frauenthal Group. For the Automotive Components Division 2010 has so far been a year of consolidation, with assistance from the early-stage recovery in the commercial vehicle market. The Wholesale Plumbing Supplies Division (SHT) is still delivering revenue growth while the Industrial Honeycombs Division is working at full capacity and growing rapidly. Earnings improved significantly in the second quarter. The Frauenthal Group was back in the black, with a first-half profit of EUR 2.9 million (m).
The main highlights of the first half of 2010 were as follows:
in earnings. Order books are still at record levels. The new plate catalysts are undergoing trials at clients' power stations.
Group revenue was up by EUR 31.4m (+14 %) on the first half of 2009, with all three divisions contributing to growth. The Automotive Components Division posted 25% revenue growth to EUR 17.6m in the first half of 2010, and revenue leapt by 54% in June. Wholesale Plumbing Supplies recorded revenue growth of EUR 4.0m or 3%, and Industrial Honeycombs a gain of EUR 8.2m or 25%. EBITDA progressed by EUR 22.5m, to turn positive by EUR 12.1m, boosted by higher revenue, but benefiting still more from the cost reductions in the Automotive Components Division, which have now largely fed through to results. EBIT advanced by EUR 24.1m year on year, for a positive first-half figure of EUR 5.8m. This significant improvement in earnings is partly a reflection of the major restructuring charges in Automotive Components recognised in the comparative period. Net finance costs fell due to low interest rates. Income tax expense was up by EUR 1.5m as a consequence of improved results. The Group turned an interim profit of EUR 2.9m. This result was no longer impacted by any significant restructuring expenses, as the restructuring programmes still under way were provided for in 2009.
However we remain cautious about market trends, as the current production hike is inspired by these customers' very upbeat expectations for the second half. If economic conditions worsen (double dip recession) this will directly impact the commercial vehicle market and, coming on top of the inventory build, lead to another collapse in output like that in 2009.
Production growth in the commercial vehicle industry is also benefiting the Industrial Honeycombs Division, which is enjoying a significant increase in diesel catalyst sales.
Trends in the commercial vehicle market varied widely between product categories, regions and customer groups in the first half of 2010. Overall, vehicle registrations in the EU rose by 4% year on year. The light commercial vehicle segment posted the smallest decline last year and grew by 8% in the first six months of 2010. The medium and heavy truck segment rebounded by -13% during the period under review. Heavy vehicles, which were especially hard hit by the economic crisis, are of particular importance to Frauenthal. Registrations were up by -16% in the EU and by -6% in the key German market where demand is surging. Exports to Central and Eastern Europe and Russia almost completely dried up at the start of the crisis, but are now gradually recovering and improved by 22% in the first half of 2010. Factors driving demand growth are the brighter overall economic situation which is buoying freight volumes, and the rise in the average vehicle age in the course of the crisis. Growth is being held back by the large volumes of idled trucks, the weak finances of many hauliers, and the incentive to postpone investment until Euro 6-compliant vehicles come on to the market in 2011. These negative factors, combined with economic uncertainties, are causing the transport industry to take a cautious view of the overall trading environment.
The decline in the wholesale plumbing and central heating supplies market continued in the opening six months of 2010. The private renovation segment, which is continuing to grow, is the main prop for demand. However the heating segment is also expanding rapidly, driven by the trend towards environmentally-friendly products, and high and rising energy costs. Construction is now in its third year of decline, with the commercial building segment suffering particularly badly, and has dragged contract business down with it. As a result sales of plumbing supplies are flat and fierce price competition is continuing – and in some cases intensifying. During the period under review, SHT focused its attention on the growth segments of the plumbing supplies market such as photovoltaic products and premium own brands. Expansion of the service network also continued with the opening of the integrated sales and service centre in Innsbruck in July. The new outlet will help the Wholesale Plumbing Supplies Division to extend its market leadership.
Demand for power station catalysts remains strong across all regional markets. The largest growth potential is in China, which accounted for around 30% of the Industrial Honeycombs Division's revenue in the first half of 2010. However, new projects are also proceeding in Europe and the USA. Orders for stationary plant (mainly power stations) rose by 7% year on year. The heat exchanger and foundry filter markets are only gradually recovering slowly from last year's collapse in demand. Increased truck production led to a 115% jump in orders for diesel catalysts in the period under review. Work is continuing on the development of high-volume diesel catalyst prototypes designed to comply with the Euro 6 emission limits due to enter into force in 2013. The first half also saw the launch of a new line of plate catalysts for power plants.
The first half of 2010 was a period of consolidation for Automotive Components following the radical restructuring and cost reduction measures implemented in 2009. The division now has an optimised production network at its disposal, with significantly improved capacity utilisation thanks to the relocation of production from discontinued operations and the incipient economic recovery. Since capacity was only run down by 25–30%, the division still has sufficient reserve capacity for a continuation of the current upturn in demand.EBITDA improved by EUR 19.2m in the first six months of this year, turning positive by EUR 3.0m. Threequarters of the increase was due to cost cutting and capacity adjustments, with the rest to the EUR 17.6m (25%) rise in revenue. EBIT crept into positive territory. The improvement is also explained by the absence of significant restructuring costs, as provisions for measures introduced in 2009 and completed this year were recognised in the 2009 financial statements. The plant in Judenburg, a specialist supplier of links for trailer axles, again made a positive EBIT contribution despite being particularly severely impacted by the crisis. Short-time working has ended at all locations, and there are isolated instances of hiring. However, first-half revenue in 2010 was still 55% down on the record level recorded in 2008. Not only have the production relocations – all of which were accepted by our customers – been a success, but the accelerated product development drive is also starting to bear fruit. The latest round of restructuring involved the closure of the French steel and aluminium air reservoir and tubular stabiliser factory (Styria Elesfrance S.A.S. in Saint Avold). Production has been migrated to other Frauenthal Group sites.
Only one more locational issue remains to be settled in 2010. The steel air reservoir plant in Ahlen, Germany, has been hit by a strategic decision by its most important customer to start sourcing these products from a competitor in the fourth quarter of 2010. We are working with the works council and union to arrive at a solution that will minimise the hardship for employees who cannot be taken on in the formed parts and welded components operations at the Ahlen site. Up to 120 employees will be affected by the partial closure if it goes ahead, as is probable.
An intense effort to deepen the division's customer relationships and develop improved products has been under way since the onset of the crisis. This is increasingly bringing results, including higher market shares, the conclusion of new long-term supply contracts and the extension of existing agreements. Product development is critical to the division's long-term growth prospects, with new vehicle ranges, due to start coming on to the market in 2011, needing to comply with the stricter Euro 6 emission standard in force from 2013 on. Globalisation is also opening up new perspectives for the industry. European vehicle component makers now face the challenge of supplying commercial vehicle manufacturers' overseas operations from local plants. Preliminary talks related to the issue are currently being held with several customers.
Business confidence in the industry is generally strong, despite slow contract business, especially from new commercial building projects. The overall market continued to contract in the first half, fanning the price war, which intensified in the contract business. Consequently, SHT posted only a small increase in gross margins compared with the same period in 2009. After bad weather delayed the start of the construction season, SHT enjoyed a brighter second quarter. First-half sales growth reached 3%, due once again to rapidly growing private renovation demand for sanitary and heating products – segments where SHT is particularly well placed. However flat construction demand was reflected in modest overall growth in sales of plumbing supplies. As in 2009, state subsidies are boosting the renewable energy market. However, the stimulus packages are only having a marginal effect. The steady decline in the number of building permits issued, the generally bleak outlook for building construction, and the belief that private renovation business is bound to run out of steam sooner or later, is dampening optimism. This makes SHT's strategy of growing by gaining market shares all the more important. The opening of the new integrated service and sales centre in Tyrol in July is a case in point – the new outlet is expected to significantly strengthen the division's foothold in this regional market. Strong visitor traffic at the showrooms and on the mySHT web platform also augur well. Revenue growth of EUR 4.0m (3.4%), coupled with a slight improvement in margins and higher costs due to higher sales volume, together resulted in EBIT of EUR 0.9m, following a break-even result in the comparative period.
Revenue growth of 25 % in the first half, full capacity utilisation and booming order intake and backlog ensured there was no let-up in the strong performance of the catalyst business. Diesel catalyst sales surged by 160% in the second quarter as the recovery in the commercial vehicle market continued, for an overall first-half gain of 115%. Orders are coming in from all regional markets. The stronger dollar boosted revenue and earnings, as some 26% of orders are invoiced in USD. The division's product mix, with the high revenue contribution from diesel catalysts, and the savings leveraged by investments in vertical integration, were reflected in earnings, and EBIT jumped by EUR 2.3m or 73% to EUR 5.4m. The launch of the new line of plate catalysts for stationary plant was a success, and the first reference applications are now being tested. This SCR catalyst type, which is new to the division, suits the special requirements of Asian markets and parts of the US market. It opens the door to the 25% of the market where honeycombs cannot be used for technical reasons. The division is now the world's only manufacturer with substantial capacity for both types of stationary SCR catalysts.
First-half Group cash flow before working capital changes was EUR 8.7m. Growth across all divisions, coupled with the normal seasonal pattern in SHT's business, led to an increase of EUR 20m in liquidity needs as compared to year-end 2009, mainly as a result of a EUR 26.4m increase in working capital, but also due to investments totalling EUR 3.4m. The Automotive Components Division is still taking a wait-and-see approach to investment because medium-term market developments are clouded by major uncertainties. Following the completion of the new outlet in Innsbruck, no further major investment projects are planned in Wholesale Plumbing Supplies (SHT). Owing to consistently high capacity utilisation in Industrial Honeycombs, short-term investments aimed at overcoming production bottlenecks are being made, while the division is also undertaking a strategic capacity planning exercise. At EUR 71m the Group's unused credit lines are more than sufficient to cope with any shortages of finance due to unexpectedly rapid revenue growth.
Customers' revised production plans indicate that the current improvement in the trading environment for the Automotive Components Division will continue at least in the short term (for the next three months). However, we remain wary market developments further ahead. Accurate forecasts can only be made for very short periods, and reliable predictions for the fourth quarter of 2010 are not possible. The present macroeconomic situation is unstable, with growth forecasts being constantly revised, governments wrestling with budget crises, and companies and banks under financial pressure. The commercial vehicle market is extremely sensitive to changes in economic conditions, so another collapse could occur at any time. This would have a major impact on Frauenthal as a component supplier, since its customers would again have to grapple with inventory overhangs. The launch of the new Euro 6 compliant vehicle generations may stimulate demand, but not before the second half of 2011.
We see the Wholesale Plumbing Supplies Division recording moderate revenue growth and further gains in market shares. The integrated sales and service centre in Innsbruck should deliver revenue growth in a region where SHT is still heavily underrepresented. With no signs of an upturn in the contract business on the horizon, price competition will continue to squeeze margins.
The Industrial Honeycombs Division is set to enjoy full capacity utilisation for the rest of the year. It remains to be seen whether diesel catalyst sales will continue to rise, as expected. This will have a significant influence on full-year earnings growth. The new plate-type catalyst is still in the launch phase, but it is expected to result in the first orders for replacement parts before long. Project business, which generates more revenue, usually has longer lead times, so there is no assurance that Industrial Honeycombs will win large contracts of this type in the second half of 2010. Key procurement decisions by customers on high-volume catalysts for Euro 6 compliant diesel engines are expected in the next few quarters. The division has the technology to win this business.
The Frauenthal Group's diversified structure has shown its worth, and will continue to do so in the current phase of market recovery and consolidation. The strong showings by the Wholesale Plumbing Supplies and Industrial Honeycombs divisions, and the stabilisation of the Automotive Components Division point to a significant improvement in annual results compared with 2009. A substantial profit for the year is within the realm of possibility, provided that the economic climate does not deteriorate in the fourth quarter. Due to the seasonal variations in the Group's businesses, it is not possible to extrapolate full-year performance from the results for the first half. All three divisions have opportunities to grow organically, by gaining market shares, and entering new product and geographical markets, as well as by acquisition. All the available options are being weighed up carefully. However, 2010 will not be a year of bold ventures. We will keep to our cautious liquidity management policy and restrictive investment strategy as we continue to build solid foundations for the Group.

The interim report of Frauenthal Holding AG (Frauenthal Group) for the half year ended 30 June 2010 was drawn up in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. This report has neither been audited nor has it been reviewed by an independent auditor.
The scope of consolidation was determined in accordance with paragraph 12 IAS 27. The number of companies included in consolidation has changed by one since 31 December 2009. Linnemann-Schnetzer Formparts GmbH was formed in Ahlen, Germany in January. The consolidated statements thus comprise the results of the parent, Frauenthal Holding AG and 27 subsidiaries which are under the common control of Frauenthal Holding AG, and in which the latter or one of its subsidiaries holds a majority of the voting rights.
The accounting and measurement policies used to prepare the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2009 were applied without change to the second quarter of 2010. The main differences between these policies and the provisions of the UGB (Austrian Business Code) lie in the use of the percentage of completion (PoC) method to value longterm construction contracts, in the treatment of deferred tax and goodwill amortisation, and in the calculation of employee benefit obligations.
The consolidated income statement is presented using the nature of expense method.
Cumulative consolidated IFRS revenue for the first two quarters was EUR 249.7m – a gain of EUR 31.4m or 14.4% on the comparative period. All three divisions contributed to this improvement. Stock disposal and rising new vehicle registrations helped propel the Automotive Components Division to EUR 17.6m year-on-year revenue growth. Half-yearly divisional revenue was up by 25.2%, from EUR 69.8m to EUR 87.3m. Despite having to contend with a flat overall market, the Wholesale Plumbing Supplies Division posted year-on-year revenue growth of EUR 4.0m due to positive trends in the heating and private renovation segments. Cumulative revenue rose by 3.4%, from EUR 119.4m to EUR 123.4m Continued buoyant demand for power station catalysts and escalating demand for diesel catalysts lifted revenue in the Industrial Honeycombs Division by EUR 8.2m year on year. The division's revenue climbed by 25.4% to EUR 40.5m (H1 2009: EUR 32.3m).
Sales to the EU area accounted for 89% of total revenue, those to the USA for 4% and those to the rest of the world for 7%.
At EUR 12.1m, Group EBITDA for the second quarter of 2010 represented an improvement of EUR 22.5m on the comparative period. The Industrial Honeycombs Division made the largest EBITDA contribution. The Automotive Components Division swung from a EUR 16.2m EBITDA loss in the comparative period to a positive figure of EUR 3m as cost reduction measures took effect. Earnings for the first half of 2009 were depressed by deconsolidation expense arising from the disposal of Styria Federn GmbH, Düsseldorf, and its subsidiary A.D. Fabrika Opruga Styria Gibnjara Kraljevo, Serbia. The Wholesale Plumbing Supplies Division returned EBITDA of EUR 2.8m — a 19% gain — despite tight margins; earnings growth was driven by the upturn in private renovation demand. The Industrial Honeycombs Division delivered the largest EBITDA contribution, at EUR 6.9m. Rapid revenue growth was reflected in a EUR 3.1m or 84.7% year-on-year increase in this division's EBITDA.
Group EBIT improved by EUR 24.1m, from a negative EUR 18.3m to a positive figure of EUR 5.8m. Earnings growth was driven by a combination of decreased net finance costs, low restructuring costs, revenue growth and the cost reductions in the Automotive Components Division. It was made up of EBIT breakeven in the Automotive Components Division, and contributions of EUR 0.9m from Wholesale Plumbing Supplies (affected by seasonal fluctuations) and EUR 5.4m from Industrial Honeycombs.
The profit before non-controlling interests (profit after tax) for the first half of the year was EUR 2,921,000. On the basis of the interim profit after non-controlling interests of EUR 3,148,000 (H1 2009: EUR -17,743,000) and an average of 9,168,055 shares in issue (H1 2009: 9,173,600 shares), basic and diluted earnings per share were EUR 0.34 (H1 2009: EUR -1.93).
Revenue and earnings in all divisions are subject to seasonal fluctuations, meaning that extrapolations from second quarter results do not yield reliable forecasts for the year as a whole.
The Frauenthal Group's total assets grew by EUR 41.2m from year end, to stand at EUR 295.9m (31 Dec. 2009: EUR 254.7m).
This increase is chiefly attributable to inventories amounting to EUR 10.5m and higher trade receivables of EUR 32.9m Inventories were up by EUR 0.9m in Automotive Components. The seasonal nature of the Wholesale Plumbing Supplies' business was responsible for a EUR 9.4m increase in this division's inventories. Trade receivables rose in all three divisions. The largest increase came from Automotive Components (EUR 16.9m), followed by Wholesale Plumbing Supplies (EUR 11.2m) and Industrial Honeycombs (up EUR 4.8m). The introduction of an ABS system for a major truck manufacturer brought a EUR 4.6m increase in receivables for Automotive Components, up from EUR 3m in the comparative period.
Cash and cash equivalents rose from EUR 2.3m to EUR 5.3m.
On the equity and liabilities side of the balance sheet, bank borrowings climbed by EUR 22.1m as a result of the increased liquidity requirements occasioned by growth across all three divisions. Trade payables rose from EUR 37.1m to EUR 49.6m. Te equity rose by EUR 2.8m to EUR 74.9m. The increase in total assets led to a drop in the equity ratio from 28.3% at year end to 25.3% as at 30 June 2010.
Due to the profit for the period of EUR 2.9m, operating profit before working capital changes improved by EUR 17m year on year to EUR 8.7m.
Higher trade receivables and the change in inventories resulted in net cash used in operating activities of EUR 17.6m (H1 2009: EUR 16.6m).
Net cash used in investing activities declined by EUR 3.2m to EUR 3.1m, reflecting lower investment during the period under review in order to conserve liquidity. For more information on the Company's investment strategy see the Liquidity and Investment section of the operating review.
As the cash flow statement shows, cash and cash equivalents as at the end of the second quarter included a pledged bank deposit amounting to EUR 0.4m.
In the second quarter of 2010 the Frauenthal Group employed an average of 2,431 people (H1 2009: 2,482). Head count in the Automotive Components Division fell by an average of 130 compared to the like period in 2009. Staff were hired in response to the incipient recovery on the commercial vehicle market, but there was an overall decline from 1,585 to 1,455 due to the disposal of Styria Federn GmbH and its subsidiary A.D. Fabrika Opruga Styria Gibnjara Kraljevo. In addition, the merger of CERAM Catalysts GmbH into Porzellanfabrik Frauenthal GmbH resulted in the transfer of a number of employees from Automotive Components to Industrial Honeycombs. This resulted in an increase of 88 in head count in Industrial Honeycombs to 282. The number of employees in the Wholesale Plumbing Supplies Division was little changed, declining by ten to an average of 684.
Frauenthal has been listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange prime market since 23 July 2007. Our share price ended 2009 almost 14% up on the year. During the first half of the year the price was relatively firm, in line with the overall market situation, and climbed steadily from EUR 7.49 at year-end 2009 to end April on a high of EUR 8.40. The price then drifted downwards to close on EUR 7.34 on 30 June 2010. The low for the first half of EUR 6.59 came on 15 June.
On 16 June 2010 the Executive Board resolved to make use of the authorisation given by the Company's 21st annual general meeting to repurchase shares The purchase corresponds to 10% of the Company's share capital. The repurchase scheme was launched on 22 June 2010 and is expected to run until 31 December 2010. A total of 5,545 shares were repurchased by 30 June. The number of treasury shares rose from 261,390 to 266,935, equal to 2.83% of the Company's capital. The free float amounts to 2,290,005 shares or 24.27% of the capital.

As at 30 June 2010 the Executive Board consisted of Hans-Peter Moser, who is in overall charge of the Automotive Components and Wholesale Plumbing Supplies divisions, and Martin Sailer who heads up the corporate finance function and the Industrial Honeycombs Division.
The Executive Board hereby declares that to the best of its knowledge the 2010 half-yearly financial report of the Frauenthal Group, prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), to the maximum extent possible gives a true and fair view of the assets, finances and earnings of the companies included in consolidation. The operating review likewise as far as possible gives a true and fair view of the assets, finances and earnings of the Frauenthal Group, and provides information on the course of business, and the potential impact of existing and future risks on the Group's business activities.
