Letter to our shareholders
Dear Shareholders,
The FUCHS PETROLUB Group enjoyed further profitable growth in the second quarter of 2012 and improved its sales revenues in the first half of the year to €910 million. Earnings after taxes increased 11% to a new record of €102 million. All three global regions contributed to the growth in sales revenues and were able to improve their earnings. The encouraging and ongoing development in North America, Asia and Eastern Europe is worthy of particular note here.
Our growth offensive is making good progress. Many of the planned positions with a focus on research and sales have been filled. Construction of new facilities and extensions of existing facilities in China, Russia, the US and Australia are in full swing. Raw material costs, which rose considerably at the end of 2011 and the start of 2012, remain at a high level with the exception of base oil prices.
The equity ratio of 67% provides us with a solid basis. We continue to invest in our organic growth in sales revenues and review external growth opportunities.
We anticipate sales revenues and earnings will increase overall in 2012 and confirm our outlook. However, this is based on the assumption that the financial crisis in Europe and potential geopolitical tensions will not have a severely negative impact on the global economy. We are striving to exceed the high earnings before interest and tax of €264 million we achieved in the previous year.
Sincerely
Stefan Fuchs
Group Management Report1
Environment
The global economy is expanding far more slowly in mid-2012 than in previous quarters. In light of the continuing euro debt crisis and poor economic performance in the emerging markets, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has corrected its global growth forecast downward slightly and is now anticipating growth of just 3.5% in 2012. For the eurozone, the IMF is sticking to its forecast of a 0.3% economic contraction, while the forecast for the current year in Germany has been raised to 1%.
According to data published by the World Steel Association, up to May of this year global steel production increased by just under 1% over the same period of the previous year. While North America was able to record a healthy increase in production of just under 8%, China only recorded growth of around 2% in the first half of 2012. Production suffered a severe decline in the eurozone. Until June steel production in Germany was approximately 6% down on the same period in 2011, while the other EU countries suffered a reduction of almost 4% in total.
In terms of global engineering revenue, the German Engineering Federation (VDMA) is predicting growth of 6% for the current year. For Europe, however, the Federation is forecasting a 2% decline in sales revenue. Production in the German mechanical engineering sector increased by 7% up to April 2012. According to the German Engineering Federation (VDMA), however, the sector is still feeling the effects of the euro debt crisis and the lack of demand in major export markets such as Spain, Italy and China. Business in North America, on the other hand, proved very robust. Therefore predictions are that the annual production output for Germany will remain at around the same level as 2011.
According to the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA), global passenger vehicle sales enjoyed a further increase in the first six months of 2012 and are set to achieve total growth of around 4% in the financial year. In the US approximately 15% and in China 9% more cars were sold up to June compared to the same period the previous year. Beside this, India, Japan and Russia were all on a growth course and therefore able to more than compensate for the 7% drop in demand experienced in the EU in the first half of the year. New car registrations in Germany in the period under review were 1% above the previous year's level, while exports and production were each 1% below the previous year's level.
According to data published by the Association of the German Chemical Industry (VCI), global chemicals production is set to increase by 3% in 2012. While the EU is expected to suffer a 2% decline, forecasts for China and the US are for a 10% and 1.5% increase in production respectively. German chemicals production was down 4% in the first half of 2012. Although it was possible to enforce price increases, overall sector sales revenues still fell 0.5%. Yet despite this, the VCI still expects production in Germany to reach the previous year's high level again in 2012 with an overall increase in sales revenues of 2%.
Mid-year figures are traditionally not available for global lubricant consumption. However, on the basis of reports from individual countries and the economic development observed in the various regions, we are predicting an increase in consumption in the emerging markets while sales in the mature markets are expected to have dropped in the first half of 2012. Taking into account the slightly weaker economic framework relative to the start of the year, from today's perspective we therefore expect to see a stagnation in global lubricant consumption for the financial year 2012.
1 The figures in brackets concern the same period of the previous year.
Performance in the second quarter
Sales revenues
At €461.6 million (414.6), the Group generated its highest ever quarterly sales revenues in the second quarter of 2012. The total increase of 11.3% over the second quarter of 2011 was due to quantity, price and currency effects.

All three global regions made major contributions to the increase in sales revenues. At 10.4% or €10.6 million, the Asia-Pacific, Africa region recorded the most pronounced relative organic growth. North and South America recorded organic growth of 8.4% or €5.8 million, followed by Europe with 6.7% or €17.3 million. Aside from this, the weakness of the euro when converting sales revenues generated in our two regions outside Europe had positive effects on Group sales revenues. Sales revenues in the Asia-Pacific, Africa region increased by €9.1 million or 8.9% due to currency effects, while sales revenues in North and South America rose by €6.6 million or 9.6%.
In the regions, the companies in North America, China, Australia, South Africa, Russia, Great Britain and Germany in particular recorded appreciable increases in sales revenues.
Earnings
The increase in sales revenues of 11.3% was accompanied by an increase in gross profit of 9.9% or €15.1 million to €168.2 million (153.1). At the same time sales and admin costs, as well as expenses for research and development rose as planned by 9.5% or €8.4 million to €96.7 million (88.3). Including other net operating expenses of €2.0 million (0.4), the Group recorded earnings before interest and tax and before income from participations (EBIT before income from participations) of €69.5 million (64.4). This represents an increase of €5.1 million or 7.9% over the same period of the previous year. The margin of EBIT before income from participations relative to sales revenues is 15.1% (15.5%).
Including the profit contributions from our associated companies and joint ventures of €3.4 million (1.7), the Group recorded an EBIT of €72.9 million, which is 10.3% more than in the previous year (66.1).
Earnings after interest and taxes were €50.4 million (44.5). Earnings per share increased to €0.70 (0.62) per ordinary share and €0.71 (0.63) per preference share.
Development of earnings by region
All regions increased their segment earnings in the second quarter of 2012. Just under half of the Group's EBIT was generated in Europe. This region's segment earnings were €34.5 million (33.9), whereby EBIT before income from participations relative to sales revenues represented 12.3% (13.0%) of this. Asia-Pacific, Africa recorded 23.7 million (18.4) with EBIT before income from participations relative to sales revenues of 16.9% (16.7%). North and South America contributed €16.7 million (15.0), which corresponds to 20.5% (21.7%) of sales revenues.
Performance in the first half of the year
Sales revenues
In the first half of 2012, the FUCHS PETROLUB Group increased its sales revenues in all regions. This growth in sales revenues was largely driven by increased sales volumes and sales prices. However, currency translations also had a positive effect on sales revenues.
Total revenues of €910.0 million (818.4) were recorded, which represents an increase of 11.2% over the excellent first six months of the previous year.

The 7.2% increase in sales revenues in Europe to €541.0 million (504.6) was primarily achieved by the companies in Germany, Great Britain and Russia. The increase in the whole region is mainly attributable to higher raw material prices.
In Asia-Pacific, Africa, the growth of 19.4% to €240.5 million (201.5) was due to price, quantity and currency translation effects. The companies in Australia, China and South Africa enjoyed particularly significant increases.
Quantities, prices and currency effects were also the key drivers of the increase in sales revenues of 16.9% to €161.4 million (138.1) in North and South America. Gains were generated by companies in North America.
Earnings
The growth in sales revenues of 11.2% allowed the FUCHS PETROLUB Group to increase its gross profit by 8.1% or €24.7 million to €330.1 million (305.4). At 36.3%, the gross margin was below the 37.3% recorded in the first half of 2011. This was due to the considerable increases in raw material prices experienced in 2011 and the second quarter of 2012.
Due to the effects of growth and inflation, personnel and overhead costs for sales, administration, research and development increased by €15.3 million or 8.8% to €188.9 million in the same time period (173.6).
After taking into account other operating income of -€3.3 million (-1.7), this leaves earnings before interest, tax and income from participations of €137.9 million. This is an increase of €7.8 million or 6.0% over the previous year's figure of €130.1 million. Relative to sales revenues, it represents 15.2% (15.9%).
Income from participations, which includes the results of the joint ventures operated in Switzerland and Turkey besides the profit contributions of the investments in companies in the Middle East, increased by €4.1 million to €7.5 million (3.4). The Group thereby recorded earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) of €145.4 million
(133.5) in the first half of the year. The figure from the same period of the previous year was therefore exceeded by 8.9% or €11.9 million.
Earnings after taxes rose by an impressive 11.2% or €10.3 million to €101.9 million (91.6). The improved financial result of -€1.0 million (-1.8), itself largely attributable to liquidity and the outsourcing of pension liabilities performed in 2011, contributed to this. Income taxes amounted to €42.5 million (40.1).
Earnings per share increased to €1.42 (1.28) per ordinary share and €1.43 (1.29) per preference share.
Development of earnings by region
The increase in earnings recorded by the Group in the first half of the year was driven in particular by the companies in the Asia-Pacific, Africa region. The fully consolidated companies in the region were able to improve their earnings by 17.0%, thereby almost tracking the increase in sales revenues of 19.4%. Beside this, income from participations in the previous year was affected by risk provisions put in place, so that income from participations has actually more than doubled in 2012. The region's segment earnings therefore reached €46.2 million (36.3), which corresponds to an increase of 27.3%. The margin of EBIT before income from participations relative to sales revenues is 16.3% (16.7%).
The North and South America region was also able to achieve a significant increase in EBIT, which rose 11.1% to €33.9 million (30.5). EBIT before income from participations relative to sales revenues represented 21.0% (22.1%).
At €67.2 million, the Europe region was not quite able to repeat its previous year's EBIT figure for the first half of the year (68.6). This was largely due to a weaker first quarter in 2012. The margin of EBIT before income from participations was 12.3% (13.5%).
Net assets and financial position
The Group's balance sheet total increased to €1,036.8 billion (€985.3 million as at December 31, 2011). This is essentially due to the investments made in its own infrastructure and production, as well as the growth in sales revenues. At the same time, the equity ratio remained stable at 66.7% (66.8% as at December 31, 2011). As a result of the dividend payments totaling €70.8 million, cash and cash equivalents were reduced to €56.5 million at the mid-year stage (79.0 as at December 31, 2011).Capital expenditure and investments in companies
The FUCHS PETROLUB Group invested a sum of €33.4 million in long-term assets in the first half of 2012 (16.5).
Besides completion of our new research and development center, the €23.3 million (14.4) invested in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets also focused on extending the production facilities in Mannheim, construction of our facility in Russia, modernizing our US production site in Chicago and setting up fire protection facilities
in Great Britain. The planned construction of a new facility in Brazil also got underway with the acquisition of a property.
Investments in financial assets revolved around a capital injection of €10.1 million, with which the Group provided support for its holding in Turkey consolidated using the equity method in acquiring an automotive lubricants business.
Depreciation and amortization of long-term assets was €13.6 million (13.7).
Statement of cash flows
The Group's gross cash flow in the first half of the year was €105.5 million (94.4). This figure includes depreciation and amortization of long-term assets of €13.6 million (13.7).
A net total of €26.4 million (65.0) was deployed to finance the growth in sales revenues. Relative to the significantly increased sales revenues, funds committed to net operating working capital were therefore lower year on year. The total cash flow from operating activities was €76.6 million (26.3).
Investments in long-term assets led to a cash outflow of €33.4 million (16.5). The increased investments in the extension of our existing facilities and construction of new facilities budgeted within the scope of our growth initiative had an effect here.
The Group thereby generated free cash flow of €45.0 million (9.7) in the first half of 2012. This partially covered the €70.8 million paid to shareholders in the form of dividends, meaning that only a smaller portion of the total dividend payout had to be financed through cash and cash equivalents, which were €56.5 million (41.2) as at June 30.
Research and development
The research and development activities of the FUCHS Group are geared less and less toward finding technical solutions to application problems. Instead, they are focused more on increasing the efficiency of equipment and processes. Below are some examples of new developments which are making a key contribution to this.
The new automatic transmission oil TITAN EG ATF 134 FE has been developed in close cooperation with a leading German vehicle manufacturer. In combination with adapted hardware, it facilitates a discernible reduction in fuel consumption while simultaneously increasing shifting comfort. Despite the fact that the viscosity of the oil has been significantly reduced, the strict requirements in terms of wear protection, consistent friction characteristics and aging stability have all been met without compromise. The product has been in use in the OEM and service business since the second quarter of 2012.
A new generation of water-miscible metalforming lubricants has been created with development of the ECO DRAW HSS 2900. This product range was primarily developed for the automotive industry to control metalforming processes for the production of chassis frames. The exceptional film stability guarantees a very long service life of the tools used.
In the future, it will be possible to improve the efficiency of chillers using the new RENISO WF range. The various products in this range excel through their particularly low viscosity. At the same time, the range also complies with a whole host of requirements of "fill for life" products. The range of chiller oils has been designed to be used with the R600a refrigerant.
Employees
As at June 30, 2012, the workforce of the FUCHS PETROLUB Group consisted of 3,764 employees worldwide. Compared with the 3,673 employees recorded at the end of the previous year, this represents an increase of 91 people. The new recruitments were made in Asia at a range of companies, as well as in Europe, in particular at companies in Germany and Great Britain.

Opportunities and risks
In the annual report 2011, FUCHS reported in detail on the opportunities and risks resulting from its international business activities. There have been no significant changes since this time. On the basis of the information currently available, we are of the opinion that no significant individual risks exist for the FUCHS PETROLUB Group, neither now nor in the foreseeable future. Nor do the overall risks or combinations of risks threaten the continued existence of the Group.
The FUCHS PETROLUB Group has implemented an adequate risk management system, which ensures that opportunities and risks are identified and dealt with in good time. We have made all possible provision for typical business risks capable of having a major influence on the company's net assets, financial position and results of operations.
Business transactions with related companies and persons
As at December 31, 2011, a dependent company report was prepared pursuant to Section 312 of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG) with the concluding declaration: "In the legal transactions listed in the dependent company report, and according to the circumstances that were known to us when those legal transactions were performed, our company received an appropriate consideration in each legal transaction. No actions subject to disclosure occurred on the instruction or in the interest of the controlling company nor any company associated with it." KPMG AG Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft, Mannheim, the independent auditors of FUCHS PETROLUB AG, have audited this dependent company report and provided it with an unqualified audit opinion.
Up to June 30, 2012, there were no indications which would lead us to revise our statement regarding business transactions with related companies and persons.
Outlook
The overall economic situation deteriorated slightly in the second quarter of 2012. Beside this, various latent risks remain in place for the development of the global economy, such as a potential worsening of the national debt crisis or an escalation in violence in the Middle East. Despite this, we currently still rate the economic situation as satisfactory and anticipate being able to push forward with our growth in sales revenues in the second half of 2012. However, this growth is likely to be driven mainly by our companies outside Europe.
As a result of our running growth initiative, personnel and other direct costs will be higher than the previous year. This has been accounted for in our budgeting. Despite this increase in costs, the FUCHS PETROLUB Group is still anticipating increases in earnings over the previous year, insofar and as long as the various risks do not have an appreciable impact on our operations.
We confirm our outlook for the year 2012. Overall, FUCHS is still striving to exceed the earnings before interest and tax of €264.2 million achieved in the previous year. In light of the economic risks, however, the earnings recorded in the first half of the year cannot simply be extrapolated over the full year.
As was already the case in the first half of the year, capital expenditure for the whole of 2012 will be significantly above the long-term average, as the investments (in particular in growth markets) will be continued as scheduled. Despite this high level of capital expenditure, we still expect to record free cash flow in excess of €100 million for the financial year, assuming the earnings targets are met.
The FUCHS shares
Following encouraging development in the first quarter, the uncertainty resulting from the national debt crisis and the general economic downturn is reflected in the volatile price trend experienced in the second quarter. Toward the end of the second quarter, however, prices began to stabilize and display an upward trend.
The FUCHS ordinary share closed at €40.28 in XETRA trading on June 30, 2012, which was 33.8% above the 2011 year end price. At a price of €43.15, the preference share enjoyed a 27.6% increase. The DAX and MDAX rose by 8.8% and 16.3% respectively over the same time period.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
The interim consolidated financial statements of FUCHS PETROLUB AG, Mannheim, have been prepared in accordance with the principles of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), taking into account the standards and interpretations laid down in the guidelines of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), London - to be applied within the EU and valid on the date of report. The interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the rules of International Accounting Standard 34 (IAS 34) in abridged form. The accounting and valuation principles, together with the calculation methods, remained unchanged from the consolidated financial statements for 2011 – with the exception of the change in accounting policies described below; we therefore refer to the notes to the consolidated financial statements made there.
The interim consolidated financial statements and the interim management report were not subject to examination by the auditor.
Change to the scope of consolidation
The initial consolidation of the Swedish subsidiary FUCHS SMÖRJMEDEL SVERIGE AB was performed in the first quarter of 2012. FUCHS PETROLUB AG founded this company in Sweden for intensive development of the Scandinavian market. The initial consolidation had no significant effects on the net assets, financial position or results of operations of the FUCHS PETROLUB Group.
Changes in the accounting policies
IAS 31 Interests in Joint Ventures
The FUCHS PETROLUB Group has altered its method of accounting for shares in joint ventures. The change concerns the switchover from the proportional consolidation to using the equity method of accounting of the two joint ventures in Switzerland and Turkey. The background to this change is IFRS 11 "Joint Arrangements", which has been approved and published by the IASB and requires that from the financial year 2013 onward joint ventures be included in the consolidated financial statements exclusively using the equity method. The option to include these joint ventures in the consolidated financial statements on a proportionate consolidation basis as per IAS 31 will therefore be eliminated from 2013 onward. With regard to this new ruling and by exercising the current option as per IAS 31, we changed the method of accounting for our two joint ventures from including them in the consolidated financial statements on a proportionate consolidation basis up to December 31, 2011 to using the equity method of accounting as of January 1, 2012 onward . These changes will require the previous year's financial information to be adjusted, as shown below.
