C.A.T. oil AG / Publication of Annual Results 2014

The annual results 2014 of C.A.T. oil AG prepared in accordance with internationally recognized accounting standards (IFRS) show total revenues of EUR 411.5 million, compared to the prior-year level of EUR 426.6 million. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) were down slightly by 0.4% in a year-on-year comparison, declining from EUR 114.9 million to EUR 114.5 million.
Against the backdrop of a decreasing cost of sales, which fell 6.7% to EUR 318.3 million (2013: EUR 341.2 million), consolidated net income increased 11% in the past financial year to EUR 50.8 million compared to EUR 56.5 million in the previous year.
Earnings per share amounted to EUR 1.16 in 2014, up from the prior-year figure of EUR 1.04. The EBITDA margin climbed to 27.8% in 2014 from 26.9% in 2013. Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) rose by 7.2% to EUR 69.2 million (2013: 64.6 million). The EBIT margin improved from 15.1% in 2013 to 16.8% in 2014.
The equity ratio fell from 71.4% as of December 31, 2013 to 45.3% at the reporting date of December 31,
2014, which can be mainly attributed to the significant increase in non-current liabilities.
The Supervisory Board and Management Board will propose that the Annual General Meeting approve distribution of a dividend of EUR 0.12 per share for 2014 (2013: EUR 0.35 per share).
Further details on the annual results of C.A.T. oil AG will be provided within the context of a supplementary press release on April 27, 2015. The publication of the Annual Financial Report 2014 will take place on April
