Fiscal Year 2006

03/09/2007, 07:00 | Ad hoc announcement pursuant to Art. 53 LR

For fiscal 2006, the Motor-Columbus Group’s consolidated sales increased 32% to CHF 11,334 million, and net income including minority interest climbed 118% to CHF 873 million. Excluding minority interest, net income was up 121% to CHF 504 million compared to CHF 228 million a year earlier.

Another Successful Year and Higher Dividend

The results reflect the year’s performance of Aare-Tessin Ltd. for Electricity (Atel), Olten, the only operating subsidiary of Motor-Columbus Ltd. The Atel Group, specialized in electricity trading, marketing, generation, transmission and energy services, again achieved extremely successful results for fiscal 2006. The strong growth was driven by the increase in energy sales, persistently high prices in the energy markets, stable generation costs and astute use of market opportunities. In the Energy Services Segment, both the GAH and AIT Groups also report higher sales and better results, fueled by the good economic conditions. In addition to its successful operating performance, the Atel Group recorded a number of special gains, mainly comprising dividend income from affiliates and the reversal of impairment losses no longer required for the Swiss generation portfolio.

Motor-Columbus Ltd. posted net income of CHF 74,9 million, up 71,4% from the prior-year CHF 43.7 million. The Board of Directors will recommend the Annual Meeting of Shareholders on May 24, 2007 to raise the dividend from CHF 80.- to CHF 120.- per share

For the full fiscal year 2007, the Motor-Columbus Group expects continued sales growth in its energy and energy services businesses, with operating results coming in below the high levels for 2006.
