Business performance
17% increase in order intake
The Dürr Group's order intake climbed by 17.1% to € 1,048.5 million in the first quarter of 2016, underpinned by all divisions, some of which posted considerable gains. Orders in the Paint and Final Assembly Systems and Application Technology divisions rose by 20.4% and 27.5%, respectively. Measuring and Process Systems and Clean Technology Systems achieved growth of a similar scale (20.1% and 26.1%, respectively). Order intake in the Woodworking Machinery and Systems division (HOMAG Group) rose by 6.4% in the first quarter of 2016, thus exceeding the quarterly record achieved in the same period of the previous year.
Order intake from the emerging markets (Asia excluding Japan, South and Central America, Africa, Eastern Europe) climbed by 18.2% to € 548.3 million, accounting for 52.3% of total new orders. Order receipts in China fell short of the previous year (down 14.2%) as expected and remained weak in Brazil, India and Russia. In Eastern Europe, orders were up primarily as a result of a major greenfield order for the construction of a paint shop. Order intake in North America was well up on the previous year, rising by 41.1%.
Slight decline in sales
Sales dropped slightly by 2.8% to € 825.2 million in the first quarter of 2016. The higher figure recorded in the same period of the previous year had arisen from the fact that Paint and Final Assembly Systems was able to catch up sales from projects which had been delayed by customers in 2014. Adjusted for exchange-rate effects, sales matched the previous year in the first quarter of 2016.
Service business continued to grow in the first quarter of 2016, with revenues rising by 7.9%. At € 230.7 million, the share of service business in total sales widened to 28.0%. At this stage, service business is expected to continue rising in the further course of the year.
Sales were spread evenly over the individual regions, with Germany contributing 15%, other European countries 27% and North and South America 25%. Asia, Africa and Australia accounted for 33%. At 49%, the share contributed by the emerging markets was more or less steady.
The book-to-bill ratio climbed to a strong 1.3. Order backlog rose by € 176.2 million over the end of 2015 to € 2,641.9 million but was down by € 262.8 million compared with March 31, 2015.

/ / Income statement and profitability ratios ///////////////////////////////
1 Selling, administration and R&D expenses
Substantial increase in gross profit
Driven by the growth in service business, gross profit rose by 7.5% to € 195.1 million despite the decline in consolidated sales. This is also reflected in the gross margin which, at 23.6% in the first quarter of 2016, was well up on the year-ago figure of 21.4%.
Earnings after tax more than doubled
Overhead costs climbed by 4.9% to € 142.4 million in the first quarter of 2016. This includes research and development expenses, which increased by 12.6% to € 23.9 million as part of the "Dürr 2020" strategy. Other operating income net of other operating expense came to € 6.0 million (Q1 2015: € 1.6 million). This includes non-recurring income of € 5.1 million from a real estate sale in the United States.
Supported by the strong gross profit, EBIT rose by 23.8% to € 58.7 million, with the EBIT margin widening from 5.6% to 7.1%. Extraordinary expenses arising from purchase price allocation for the HOMAG Group dropped to a normal level of € 2.2 million, down from € 11.5 million in the first quarter of 2015. Operating EBIT (adjusted for purchase price allocation effects and the income from the real estate sale in the US) came to € 55.8 million (Q1 2015: € 58.9 million), resulting in an operating EBIT margin of 6.8%, compared with 6.9% in the year-ago period. With depreciation and amortization of € 19.2 million, EBITDA was up 10.0% in the first quarter of 2016, rising to € 77.9 million.
As expected, net finance expense improved significantly from € 11.5 million to € 3.0 million in the first quarter of 2016. One reason for this was the substantial reduction in extraordinary expenses in connection with the domination and profit transfer agreement entered into with HOMAG Group AG. Moreover, the inclusion of the HOMAG Group in the less expensive Dürr Group funding facilities had a positive effect.
There was a substantial decline in the tax rate and in tax expense in the first quarter of 2016 (30.7% and € 17.1 million, respectively; Q1 2015: 52.7% and € 18.9 million, respectively). This was due to the absence of the non-recurring effects which had arisen in the same period of the previous year as a consequence of the domination and profit transfer agreement entered into with HOMAG Group AG. Earnings after tax rose by 127.6% to € 38.6 million. This translates into earnings per share of € 1.09, up from € 0.48 in the first quarter of 2015.
Financial position
Cash flow from operating activities influenced by higher NWC
Cash flow from operating activities dropped to € -2.5 million in the first quarter of 2016 (Q1 2015: € 39.6 million). This was due to changes in provisions, payments made for the HOMAG Group's employee capital participation program, which had been terminated in 2015, and the expected further increase of € 22.3 million in net working capital (NWC). We assume that there will be a further slight rise in NWC by the end of the year as prepayments received from customers still exceeded the normal level by around € 50 million as of March 31, 2016. This surplus liquidity will be consumed successively as orders are executed. Despite this, we expect cash flow to rise slightly in 2016 as a whole.

* Currency translation effects have been eliminated from the cash flow statement. Accordingly, the cash flow statement does not fully reflect all changes in the items shown in the statement of financial position.
Cash flow from investing activities came to € 3.4 million in the first quarter of 2016 (Q1 2015: € -8.2 million), the main determinants here being the cancellation of term deposits, proceeds from the sale of assets and outflows for capital expenditure on property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.
Capital expenditure on property, plant and equipment and intangible assets came to € 19.6 million (Q1 2015: € 17.3 million), including an amount of € 4.7 million on intangible assets. As in the first quarter of 2015, we did not acquire any equity interests or other financial assets.
The cash flow from financing activities of € -9.6 million (Q1 2015: € -3.9 million) primarily reflects the settlement of current financial liabilities.
The slightly negative cash flow from operating activities resulted in a free cash flow of € -22.1 million (Q1 2015: € 22.3 million). The net financial status of € 89.1 million includes currency translation effects of € -6.5 million.

With the basis of consolidation unchanged, total assets contracted by 2.3% compared with the end of 2015. This slight decline was primarily due to exchange-rate effects. Trade receivables and inventories dropped by € 57.3 million. At the same time, trade payables dropped by € 74.3 million, as a result of which net working capital adjusted for exchange-rate changes climbed by € 20.0 million to € 256.8 million. At € 1,175.6 million, non-current assets remained virtually unchanged over December 31, 2015.

The net financial status dropped by € 40.3 million compared with the end of 2015 and by € 131.1 million compared with March 31, 2015 to € 89.1 million. In addition to the accumulation of NWC, this was due to high capital expenditure and spending on acquisitions (particularly iTAC Software) in 2015.

Current and non-current liabilities dropped by € 94.8 million over December 31, 2015 due to the decline in trade payables (down € 74.3 million) and the prepayments from customers included in this (down € 38.3 million).
Debt capital and funding structure
Our funding structure comprised the following elements in the first quarter of 2016:
- Corporate bond issued by Dürr AG for € 300 million
- Syndicated loan held by Dürr AG for € 465 million
- Real estate loans for the purchase of the Dürr Campus in Bietigheim-Bissingen (2011) with a carrying amount of € 37.3 million as of March 31, 2016
- Bilateral credit facilities and liabilities from finance leases of a minor volume
In addition, we issued a bonded loan for € 300 million with an average coupon of around 1.6% at the end of March 2016 as a source of long-term finance and to heighten the scope for the Group's further strategic development by means of capital expenditure and acquisitions. The proceeds of the issue were received on April 6, 2016.
Employees
Slight increase in headcount
The Group workforce increased in number to 14,985, up 0.9% on the end of 2015 and up 5.4% on March 31, 2015. At 8.3% compared with March 31, 2015, the increase in the emerging markets was more pronounced. 4,471 employees, equivalent to 29.8% of the Group's workforce, are based in this region.

1 Negative capital employed
Order intake in the Paint and Final Assembly Systems division climbed by 20.4% to € 335.9 million in the first quarter of 2016, materially underpinned by major contracts in North America, Eastern Europe and China. The decline in sales revenues was expected as the previous year's figure had included revenues which had been budgeted for 2014 but did not arise until 2015 due to customer-induced project delays. EBIT contracted by € 3.8 million to € 19.3 million. At 6.7%, the EBIT margin held steady at the level recorded in the fourth quarter of 2015 (6.8%). We are expecting a full-year EBIT margin of around 7% in 2016.

The sharp rise in order intake in the Application Technology division (up 27.5%) particularly reflects large contracts received in China, Europe and the United States. As expected, the Industrial Painting segment, which had been established in 2014, made only a small contribution. With sales down, the book-to-bill ratio came to 1.4. EBIT rose by 33% to € 17.3 million and includes income of € 5.1 million from a real estate sale in the United States. This extraordinary effect caused the EBIT margin to widen to 14.5%, while the operating margin came to 10.2%, slightly up on the previous year (10.0%).

1 annualized
The 20.1% increase in order receipts in Measuring and Process Systems was due to double-digit growth rates in the two segments Balancing and Assembly Products and Cleaning and Surface Processing. With sales 9.8% lower, the book-to-bill ratio reached a very high 1.58. Division EBIT contracted primarily as a result of the lower sales. The EBIT margin came to 7.8% in the first quarter; we project a full-year figure of 10 to 11% for 2016.
We are currently analyzing various strategic options for the future orientation of Cleaning and Surface Processing and published an ad-hoc release in this connection on April 12, 2016. Cleaning and Surface Processing comprises the Dürr Ecoclean Group, the market and technology leader in cleaning and surface processing technology. A strategic partnership is being sought for these activities, although the retention of a minority interest on the part of Dürr or even the sale of the business are also possible options. In 2015, Cleaning and Surface Processing posted sales of around € 200 million and an EBIT margin of around 6%.

The Clean Technology Systems division is primarily active in exhaust-air purification technology. Its second source of business – energy efficiency technology – is substantially smaller. Division order intake and sales rose by 26.1% and 9.9%, respectively, in the first quarter of 2016. The weak earnings situation is primarily due to energy efficiency technology, which is not performing as well as originally planned due to low energy prices. Measures have been taken to intensify sales activities and to optimize production costs.

Order intake in the Woodworking Machinery and Systems division (HOMAG Group) continued to grow from a high level in the first quarter of 2016, rising by 6.4%. With revenues slightly higher (up 2.1%), the book-to-bill ratio came to 1.18. EBIT outpaced sales, climbing by € 13.4 million. For one thing, purchase price allocation expenses dropped by € 9.3 million over the same period of the previous year and, for another, the HOMAG Group realized operating improvments worth € 4.1 million. The operating EBIT margin (before purchase price allocation effects) rose to 6.4% in the first quarter of 2016 (Q1 2015: 4.9%); after purchase price allocation effects, the EBIT margin came to 5.5% (Q1 2015: 0.4%). Looking ahead over the next few quarters, the purchase price allocation charges will amount to around € 2 million per quarter.
Corporate Center
In the Corporate Center, which primarily comprises Dürr AG and Dürr IT Service GmbH, the loss at the EBIT level narrowed by € 0.4 million to € 2.2 million in the first quarter of 2016. Only minor consolidation effects arose.
Opportunities and risks
RISKS
A detailed description of the customary risks of our business and the risk management system installed by Dürr can be found in the 2015 annual report (from page 81), which was published on March 17, 2016. There are currently no discernible risks which either individually or in conjunction with other risks are liable to pose any threat to the Group's going-concern status. We consider our overall risk situation to be readily manageable. There have been no material changes in it since the publication of the annual report.
Opportunities
A detailed description of the opportunities arising from our business and the opportunities management system installed at Dürr can be found in the 2015 annual report (starting on page 90). Similarly, there have been no material changes in opportunities since the publication of the 2015 annual report. However, over the last few months, we have received a greater number of inquiries from China and the United States concerning new projects for production systems for the construction of electric vehicles. Assuming that this trend continues, we will face greater opportunities than hitherto assumed.
Outlook
Operating environment
There have been no material changes in underlying economic conditions since the publication of the 2015 annual report (March 17, 2016). Accordingly, reference should be made to the relevant disclosures on page 91 of the annual report.
Looking further down the road, industry experts consider the sales outlook for the automotive industry to be upbeat. Even so, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) scaled back its outlook for global automotive production slightly in April and now projects output of 91.5 million units in 2016 (previously 92.7 million). With this adjustment, PwC is factoring in the continued muted market conditions in Brazil and Russia as well as more moderate growth in North America and China. Even so, it projects robust global growth of an annual average of 3.9% through 2020. PwC forecasts annual average growth of 5.8% in light vehicle production in China during the same period.
The outlook for growth in the furniture sector and general industry has not changed since mid-March 2016. Experts assume that the global furniture industry will expand by 3.6% this year, with China set to achieve growth of around 6%.

17 / / Group Outlook /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
on property, plant and equipment and on intangible assets (excluding acquisitions)
Group and divisions
On the strength of our positive business performance in the first quarter, we re-affirm our full-year forecast for 2016 especially as the project pipeline is well filled with future investment projects of our customers. After the end of the first quarter, we are confident of achieving our earnings targets for 2016 securely. We are seeking a full-year EBIT margin in a target corridor of between 7.0 and 7.5%. In absolute terms, EBIT should remain more or less on a par with 2015 (€ 267.8 million).
The table above summarizes our targets. A detailed forecast can be found on page 92 of the 2015 annual report. We have raised our liquidity target for 2016 following the issue of the bonded loan. With the proceeds of € 300 million, we should have liquidity of € 740 to 840 million at the end of 2016. All other targets are unchanged over the forecast in our 2015 annual report. There is likewise no change in the outlook for the divisions, details of which can be found on pages 94 and 95 of the 2015 annual report.
Material events after the reporting date
No events which influenced or had the potential to influence the Group's net assets, financial position and results of operations occurred between the end of the quarter and May 12, 2016.

This interim statement is the English translation of the German original. The German version shall prevail.
This interim statement includes forward-looking statements about future developments. As is the case for any business activity conducted in a global environment, such forward-looking statements are always subject to uncertainty. Our information is based on the conviction and assumptions of the Board of Management of Dürr AG, as developed from the information currently available. However, the following factors may affect the success of our strategic and operating measures: geopolitical risks, changes in general economic conditions (especially a prolonged recession), exchange rate fluctuations and changes in interest rates, new products launched by competitors, and a lack of customer acceptance for new Dürr products or services, including growing competitive pressure. Should any of these factors or other imponderable circumstances arise, or should the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements prove incorrect, actual results may differ from those projected. Dürr AG undertakes no obligation to provide continuous updates of forward-looking statements and information. Such statements and information are based upon the circumstances as of the date of their publication.
