The SGS Group delivered annual revenues of CHF 4.8 billion, an increase of 4.1%
over the prior year (constant currency basis), driven by an increase in activity
levels across most geographies. Adjusted operating income reached CHF 848
million (up 6.6% on a constant currency basis), with an increased adjusted
EBITDA margin of 22.4% (from 22.0% in 2009) and an increased adjusted operating
income margin to a record 17.8% (from 17.4% in 2009). Net profit for the year
reached CHF 588 million, up 8.4% (constant currency basis). Core operating cash
flows remained strong at CHF 783 million and the Group further improved its
liquidity through the issuance of a six year CHF 550 million bond. During the
year, the Group completed ten acquisitions for a total cash consideration of CHF
302 million. Given these results, the Board of Directors is proposing a dividend
of CHF 65 per share, CHF 35 of which reflects the healthy cash generation of the
Group.
