Outlook 2011

  • We expect long-term organic growth for the Group in the order of near to 10% (provided the global economic development continues unchanged and the euro does not get any stronger against NORMA Group's trading currencies – particularly the US dollar)
  • On top, the consolidation of the Group's two US acquisitions, R.G.Ray and Craig Assembly, will result in additional sales of up to EUR 20 million in 2011 (US dollar depending) as compared with the previous year.
  • The Group is aiming to achieve an adjusted EBITA ratio in the order of the previous year's adjusted EBITA ratio of 17.4% (adjusted for one-off expenses in the first quarter of 2011 resulting from the integration of our US acquisitions and adjusted for one-off expenses related to the IPO in the first half of the year, as well as full-year adjustments resulting from purchase price allocations for intangible assets)
  • The Global Excellence Program and further increasing productivity will back this profit margin.
  • This forecast is based on the condition that the changes of material prices during the rest of the year will not deviate significantly from the rises of material prices that have taken place in the first quarter.

Tighter emission regulations drive increased joining technology content

Increasingly tighter emission regulations, including in emerging markets

Low-emission alternatives require significantly higher joining technology content at a substantially increased complexity compared to existing/past technologies
