Draw Down on our Multi-Currency Revolving Credit Facility

On November 7, 2011, we drew down on our Multi-Currency Revolving Credit Facility in the amount of €133 million. While we believe that, based on our current level of operations as reflected in our results for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and based on our budget for 2011, our sources of liquidity will be sufficient to fund our operations, capital expenditures and debt service, we have nevertheless determined that it is prudent financial management in the current volatile financial market environment to maintain and secure a strong cash position.

  • Global market in Q1-Q3 2011 back on record level. KION benefits from strong recovery in Europe but also continued surge in growth regions, especially in China.
  • – Strong order book allows to expect a strong Q4 2011. Although sales for the FY 2011 will remain below 2008 level, former EBIT margins should be already achievable.
  • –Looking forward, market growth rates will cool down due to high market base in 2011.
  • – Current financial markets turmoil, raw material price volatility, deficit crisis in industrialized markets and currency fluctuations remain as risks and are closely monitored. First impact of the public indebtedness crisis and of the resulting volatile financial markets condition on the global economy can already be observed.
