Annual General Meeting supports growth strategy
- First milestones of the ''Compass 2020' strategy reached
- Large majority of shareholders approve all Board motions
Bergisch Gladbach, 24 June 2013 - At today's Annual General Meeting of
INDUS Holding AG in Cologne, a large majority of the shareholders approved
the proposed dividend of EUR 1.00 per share (previous year: EUR 1.00). The
payout will total EUR 22.2 million, which represents a ratio of almost 50%.
The attending shareholders also approved the profit appropriation proposal
and a large majority of them released the members of the Board of
Management and the Supervisory Board from liability for the past fiscal
year. They also approved the election of new auditors for the separate and
the consolidated financial statements. A general authorisation to create
conditional capital also featured on the agenda and was approved by a vast
majority.
In his address, CEO Jürgen Abromeit once again explained the cornerstones
of the 'Compass 2020' strategy. 'We want to take INDUS forward and use
three levers to achieve this. We are developing the portfolio by making
increased investments; we are pushing ahead our internationalisation and we
are on the lookout for suitable hidden champions in the industries of the
future we have identified for our company.' At the same time, he emphasised
that 'We want to grow in a controlled manner. INDUS will keep a close eye
on its financial strength, as we have always done.'
In 2013, INDUS has taken over two new companies - BUDDE Group and ELTHERM
Group - and acquired the remaining shares in HAKAMA, which is now
wholly-owned. Last week, INDUS acquired the Dutch HEAVAC company as a
strategic fit for its subsidiary, AURORA. In the context of the 'Compass
2020' strategy, INDUS is increasingly looking for mid-market investments in
sectors such as transport and logistics, medical engineering, energy and
environment as well as automation.
The Board of Management emphasised that the Group will maintain its
long-term investment horizon and confirmed the guidance for the current
fiscal year. 'We project sales revenues of EUR 1.1 to 1.3 billion and
expect to exceed our 2012 operating result in 2013.'
