 Markets and performance

Wavin's Q3 2011 revenue increased 2% to EUR 353 million compared to Q3 2010. Like-for-like growth was 4.6%. Q3 revenue excludes EuroCeramic, the continental clay pipe business divested in July.

In the third quarter the performance in Central & Eastern Europe, the Nordic countries, Turkey and Germany remained strong. In the Netherlands, Italy and the UK market conditions were challenging.

In the first nine months of 2011 total revenue amounted to EUR 1,034 million, up 10.0% compared to 2010. The like-for-like revenue increase in the first nine months of the year was 9.5%.

Q3 Ebitda was EUR 35.8 million compared to EUR 36.5 million in the same period last year. The Ebitda-margin was 10.1% in the quarter, against 10.5% in 2010. Ebitda for the first nine months was EUR 81.8 million, (2010: EUR 84.4 million), resulting in a year-to-date Ebitda margin of 7.9% (2010: 9.0%)

Outlook

The turmoil in the financial markets will have an impact on construction activities. As a result fourth quarter revenue growth will be limited. Although raw material costs have started to level off, we expect margins to remain under pressure in the current economic and competitive environment. Wavin has taken additional measures to control costs and cash.
