Hamburg, 30 March 2011 - Asian Bamboo AG ('Asian Bamboo', 'the Company',
ISIN: DE000A0M6M79, ticker symbol: '5AB', ADR ticker symbol 'ASIBY'), a
world-leading integrated company in the bamboo industry, is pleased to
announce the following results for FY 2010 (all percentage numbers are
year-on-year comparisons):
* Revenue grew 29% to EUR 75.9 million (2009: EUR 58.6 million)
* Net profit grew 17% to EUR 33.5 million (2009 Restated: EUR 28.6
million), equivalent to a net profit margin of 44% (2009 Restated: 49%)
* Excluding option costs and road repair costs, the net profit grew 31% to
EUR 37.4 million, equivalent to a net profit margin of 49%
* Cash and cash equivalents grew 94% at EUR 56.7 million (2009: EUR 29.1
million)
The financial performance in FY 2010 was negatively affected by the
rainstorms in June and the snow falls in December. Despite this, Asian
Bamboo managed to achieve satisfactory revenue and net profit growth mainly
as a result of an increase in the mature plantation size and higher prices.
Mr. Lin Zuojun, founder and CEO of Asian Bamboo, commented: 'We have now
started processing bamboo fibre and the outlook for that business is very
promising. Primarily driven by a larger plantation size, we expect to reach
a revenue and net profit margin, including the contribution from the bamboo
fibre processing project, of at least EUR 125 million and 40%,
respectively, in FY 2011.'
