ANNUAL FINANCIAL RESULTS 2011
The turnover of HELLENIC CABLES Group amounted to € 415 million in 2011, registering an 18% increase compared to 2010, which is due to the Group's increased sales to other countries and also to the consolidation of the new subsidiary FULGOR SA, which was acquired on 29 July 2011.
Consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) amounted to € 20.9 million, registering a 58% increase compared to 2010, while earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) amounted to € 11.8 million, increased by 130% compared to 2010. The increase is due to the increased sales and also to the improvement in margins despite the fierce competition and upward trends of raw materials, as a result of the increased sales of added value products.
Consolidated results before taxes amounted to profits of € 3.6 million compared to € 568 thousand in 2010, while net consolidated profits after taxes and minority interests stood at € 3.3 million or € 0.117 per share.
HELLENIC CABLES Group pursues steadily its growth, focusing on the administrative and operational incorporation of FULGOR in the Group, on the attainment of synergies and economies of scale, on increasing its sales to foreign markets and also on improving profit margins through the increased sales of high added value products. At the same time, efforts for optimising the working capital management are intensified.
