Köln – February 21, 2011: KHD Humboldt Wedag International AG („KHD“), one of the leading suppliers of industrial plants and services for the global cement industry has successfully completed its planned capital increase.
Due to unexpected profit deterioration in the latest cost estimations of a few major projects, KHD Humboldt Wedag International AG (KHD) will not reach its margin guidance for the 2013 financial year.
According to preliminary unaudited figures, KHD will close 2013 with a significant increase in revenues, EBIT between € 1 – 2 million and EBIT margin of less than 1.0%.
“Volskcement” OJSC Russia (Holcim Group) has placed an order with Zementanlagenbau GmbH Dessau (ZAB), a subsidiary of KHD Humboldt Wedag International AG (KHD), to construct a production line in the Volsk cement factory. The scope of the contract, with an order value of over € 77 million, comprises engineering and the delivery of equipment. The project is scheduled to run until the end of 2016.
In light of the voluntary takeover offer from AVIC the management board of KHD Humboldt Wedag International AG has taken the decision not to participate in the “Deutschen Eigenkapitalforum” in November in Frankfurt.
