Kortrijk, Belgium, 9 February 2012 - Barco (Nyse/Euronext: BAR; Reuters: BARBt.BR; Bloomberg: BAR BB) today announced results for the six and twelve month periods ended 31 December, 2011.
Commenting on the years results Eric van Zele, President & CEO said: "We are very pleased to see that Barco passed the ambitious billion euro mark. We progressed on many fronts and delivered on our promises for sustainable and profitable growth. Overall sales grew 16.1% year-on-year with Entertainment growing at 31.1%, Healthcare at 10% and Control Rooms & Simulation at 16.1%. Despite a very challenging macro-economic environment we not only succeeded in turning Barco around but also established global leadership positions in all of our core businesses. With EBIT margins moving up from 5.0% in 2010 to 7.5% in 2011 we further
delivered on our promises related to profitability while our free cash generation of 81.2 million euro illustrates good management of our working capital. End of December 2011 the net financial cash position of Barco stood at 61.1 million euro compared to 8.9 million euro a year earlier."
Mr Van Zele continued: "With an eye on the future and realizing that the current economic environment is very uncertain we believe that Barco's momentum for profitable growth will be sustainable as we continue to sharpen our focus on our core businesses and pursue alternative options for some of the other activities."
The board will propose to the general assembly to increase the dividend from 1 euro per share paid out in 2011 to 1.10 euro per share to be paid out in 2012.
Sales in 2011 were 1,041.2 million euro, representing robust growth of 16.1% compared to the 897.0 million of 2010.
All businesses with the exception of defense, air traffic control and the ventures as a group, contributed to that growth. The strongest momentum was realized in the Entertainment and the Control Rooms & Simulation divisions.
