Schoeller-Bleckmann Oilfield Equipment AG: Sound financial year 2013

Ternitz/Vienna, 15 January 2014. Schoeller-Bleckmann Oilfield Equipment AG (SBO), listed on the ATX market of the Vienna Stock Exchange, recorded sound business development in fiscal 2013 according to preliminary figures. After the absolute record year 2012, group sales generated in 2013 arrived at MEUR 458.0 (following MEUR 512.1). While the earnings before tax (EBT) of MEUR 83.0 also were below the 2012 record figure of MEUR 110.1, the pre-tax margin of 18.1 % was very satisfying.

As expected, fiscal 2013 was marked by weaker bookings. The market environment remained unchanged at the turn of the year 2013 to 2014.

The final results for the past financial year 2013 (1 January to 31 December 2013) will be published by SBO on 10 March 2014.
