Linde: Decline In FY Sales, Earnings Probable Due To Outlook
MUNICH (Dow Jones)--German industrial gases company Linde AG (LIN.XE) said Friday it remains pessimistic for the full year, and a decline in sales and earnings is becoming increasingly probable.
"From today's standpoint, we must realistically calculate a decline," Chief Executive Wolfgang Reitzle said in the text of a speech presented to Linde's shareholders.
The previous positive scenario of reaching sales and profit around last year's level has become increasingly less likely given downward revisions to economic forecasts, he added.
The trend in sales and earnings during the second half of the year will be decisive, he added, however no recovery in demand is in sight, Reitzle said.
The company will accelerate its announced program to increase productivity. This will entail capacity adjustments in some regions and business segments, he said.
"Where and what scope of adjustments will be necessary isn't definite yet," Reitzle said.
In early May, Chief Financial Officer Georg Denoke said Linde plans to cut 3,000 jobs globally. Linde also plans to reduce costs of between EUR650 million to EUR800 million over the next four years. This year, EUR200 million in savings will be achieved. In the first quarter of the year, Linde's outlays for restructuring were EUR20 million with an additional EUR50 million earmarked for the coming months
Linde: Reaching Mid-Term Goals Will Take Some Years
FRANKFURT (Dow Jones)--German industrial gases and engineering company Linde AG (LIN.XE) will need some years to reach its medium-term goals, Chief Executive Wolfgang Reitzle told the company's annual meeting Friday in Munich.
Citing economic uncertainties, the Munich-based company said mid-March it won't be able to achieve its 2010 targets of a return on capital employed of 13%, and an operating profit of at least EUR3 billion at the set time.
The company planned with about EUR15 billion sales in 2010, under good conditions, to reach these targets, the chief executive said. Reitzle couldn't say when Linde can achieve EUR15 billion in sales, in combination with its good margin level.
Many companies won't reach their peak capacity of 2007/2008 before 2014, Reitzle said. The crisis has a completely different pattern that any previous one, he said. It could take several years to get back to the level we were at, Reitzle added.
Linde would have to grow 20% from its 2008 level in order to reach its mid-term targets. "I can't tell you today whether that will be in two years or in four," Reitzle said.
In 2008, Linde's operating profit reached EUR2.56 billion and ROCE was 12.4%.
