KHD Humboldt Wedag International AG: KHD posts virtually unchanged EBIT margin despite fall in revenue - Seite 2

led to the first joint contract in Venezuela. The partnership with Weir
Minerals - which aims to ramp up use of roller presses in the mining
industry - also gathered pace in 2011.

The proceeds of approximately EUR 75 million from the capital increase
further improved the Group´s equity base. The equity ratio was 54.1% as of
December 31, 2011, having stood at 35.9% at year-end 2010. At EUR 300.3
million the liquidity position was comparable to the previous year´s
figure. This gives the Group a sound basis for future growth. At the Annual
General Meeting 2012 the Management and Supervisory Boards will propose
that no profits should be distributed in the interests of sustainably
increasing the Company´s value.

´2011 was a challenging - but good - year for KHD, ´ commented CEO Jouni
Salo, summing up the course of business for the 2011 financial year. ´We
finished 2011 in a much better competitive position than we were in at the
beginning of the year.´ He added that more service, more customer focus,
more efficiency and more tenders for turnkey plants around the world were
all positive developments which should give the Company a good starting
point for 2012 and beyond.

KHD expects to see a moderate increase in its order intake in 2012 due to
its improved market position. However, its revenue and EBIT margin are not
expected to reach their 2011 levels, especially given that further delays
are anticipated in the completion of projects due to difficult market
conditions.
