The option to use the Querfurter Mulde / Bad Bibra potash deposit plays an important role in K+S's growth strategy. That's why the company is interested in engaging in corporate activity in the region on a long-term basis. According to the information thus far available to K+S, with an annual capacity of about a million tons of potash / magnesium fertilizers, the available crude salt deposits appear to be sufficient to secure the operation of a potash plant for 30 to 40 years.

Further comprehensive tests necessary

However, K+S still requires decisive additional information to complete the figures it needs for its further planning. As all shafts of the former Roßleben mine were filled in after it was closed down, it is not currently possible to obtain representative samples of the crude salt that we know from our past experience to be highly complex. However, this is essential if we are to test the suitability of the minerals for processing by means of electrostatic separation (ESTA) in a technical facility. Processing of the crude salt from Roßleben to create high-quality products is only possible using this waste-waterless process. It furthermore has to be clarified whether or which restrictions there will be on the use of the deposit as a result of the ICE that runs above it. With regard to both these issues, K+S is proposing close cooperation to GVV, so that the next steps toward concrete negotiations can be taken as soon as possible. 

Reliable industrial policy for a high-performance economic structure

An industry establishment such as the construction of a new potash plant requires not only investments in the three-figure millions, but also far-reaching planning reliability, if the long-term commitment of considerable funds is to be justified. For K+S it is a matter of course that state-of-the-art technology will be used and strict standards applied also with respect to environmental protection. But politicians are also called on to ensure that the permits needed to construct and operate a potash plant can be obtained by creating a long-term framework on the basis of national and European law. This applies in particular to the construction of a tailings pile as well as to the granting of a discharge permit for saline waters.

The company assumes that, with its investment and operating concept, it has taken a convincing first step in a project that can be further developed in close cooperation with GVV and the responsible authorities.

Dr. Hans-Joachim Winterling, thus far responsible for production, the supply chain and finance on the Management Board, will simultaneously take over the responsibilities of the resigning member as sole Managing Director of COMPO.

“We are pleased with our inclusion in the group of the 30 largest publicly traded companies in Germany. It is an honour and a challenge for all employees of the Company, because without their flexibility and personal commitment, we would not have achieved this", explained Norbert Steiner, Chairman of the Board of Executive Directors of K+S Aktiengesellschaft.

In recent years, strong growth, in particular in the emerging market countries, has tangibly increased the demand for raw materials and thus also for mineral fertilizers. The fact that K+S is one of the world’s most significant suppliers of fertilizers and salt is now paying off. For over 100 years, the Company has stood for knowledge and experience in the areas of fertilizers and salt as well as for consistently high product quality and efficient workflows. “In the future too, our focus will be on long-term and sustainable growth in the interest of all our stakeholders. Our promotion to the DAX® has further strengthened our commitment to this goal“, said Steiner.  

Experience Growth

The K+S Group is one of the world's leading suppliers of speciality and standard fertilizers, plant care as well as salt products. With its products and brands, K+S offers its customers a range of needs-based goods and services which provides growth opportunities in virtually every sphere of daily life.   

• Further tangible increase in global fertilizer demand
• At € 1.2 billion, revenues for the quarter up by 52%
• At € 326.4 million, operating earnings (EBIT I) more than quadrupled
• Adjusted earnings per share reach € 1.40 (Q2/07: € 0.26 per share)
• Forecast for 2008 as a whole revised upward once again:
  • Revenues up between € 5.3 billion and € 5.5 billion (2007: € 3.3 billion)
  • Operating earnings of between € 1.4 billion and € 1.6 billion expected (2007: € 285.7 million)
  • Earnings per share of between € 6.00 and € 6.65 per share (2007: € 1.06/share)

The K+S Group continues to grow. “We have achieved our best quarter so far in the second quarter of 2008. There has been a further tangible increase in global demand for fertilizers which, against a backdrop of availability bottlenecks on the markets, has led to a significant increase in prices for nitrogen, phosphate and potash fertilizers,” said Norbert Steiner, chairman of the Executive Board of Directors of K+S Aktiengesellschaft.

In the future too, the scarcity of supply of fertilizers in relation to demand should have a positive influence on the business success of the K+S Group. Even after the price correction for important agricultural products from their historic highs, which could be observed during recent weeks, the current price level continues to guarantee an attractive yield potential to the agricultural sector. During the coming years, in the light of extremely low stocks of agricultural products, agriculture will continue to be under considerable pressure to be able to produce sufficient food, feed and fuel for a growing global population. “In the case of potash fertilizers in particular, it is to be expected that global demand will continue to grow tangibly at an annual rate of about 4%,” Steiner continued.

It is also becoming ever clearer that the growth in capacity in the potash industry over the coming years will at best only be able to keep up with this growth in demand, so that potash will remain in short supply in the future too. As the fourth-largest single producer in the world, K+S should be able to participate in this to a noticeable extent.

Second quarter revenues rise 52%

At € 1,184.5 million, second quarter revenues exceeded the figure for the same period last year by € 405.9 million or 52%. The increase was attributable to positive price effects that could more than offset moderate currency- and volume-related revenue declines. Strong revenue increases were achieved by the Potash and Magnesium Products, fertiva and COMPO business segments.

During the first six months of 2008, revenues increased by 39% to € 2,397.5 million also as a result of price factors. About 70% of Group revenues were generated in Europe.

At € 326.4 million, operating earnings more than quadrupled during second quarter

In the second quarter of 2008, operating earnings EBIT I rose by € 257.0 million or 370% compared with a year ago to € 326.4 million; this was mainly attributable to strong earnings increases in the Potash and Magnesium Products business segment in addition to the positive business performance of COMPO and fertiva. It was thus possible to more than make up by far for the weaker earnings contribution of the Salt business segment and the Complementary business segments.

During the first six months, EBIT I of the K+S Group amounted to € 552.7 million and has thus already reached nearly double the total earnings for last year as a whole; the strong increase in earnings in the Potash and Magnesium Products business segment also made a significant contribution to this.

Adjusted earnings before and after taxes continue to increase considerably

Earnings before taxes adjusted for the effect of market value changes amounted to € 314.5 million in the second quarter, which represents an increase of € 251.4 million compared with a year ago. Adjusted earnings before taxes for the first half of the year rose by € 381.9 million to € 538.5 million.

Adjusted Group earnings after taxes of the second quarter amounted to € 231.1 million and were thus more than five times higher. For the quarter under review, adjusted earnings per share amounted to € 1.40 and were thus up 439% on the same period last year (€ 0.26).

During the first six months, adjusted Group earnings amounted to € 393.7 million and were thus € 288.9 million or 276% higher than for the same period last year; this corresponds to € 2.39 (H1/2007: € 0.64) per share.

2008 outlook raised once again

In the financial year 2008, revenues of the K+S Group should increase considerably in comparison to the previous year. This assessment is borne out especially by higher revenues in the Potash and Magnesium Products, fertiva and COMPO business segments as a result of strong price increases on the global markets for potash and nitrogen fertilizers. Countervailing currency and volume effects will only have a disproportionate impact.

Revenues for 2008 as a whole should therefore reach € 5.3 billion to € 5.5 billion (2007: € 3.3 billion).

For financial year 2008, K+S also forecasts very much higher operating earnings EBIT I in comparison to last year. This is primarily due to the already described sharply increasing average prices in the Potash and Magnesium Products business segment, which are by far exceeding the rise in costs. Even a weaker US dollar exchange rate should not result in a change in this assessment: After K+S carried out a fundamental reorganisation of its US dollar exchange rate hedging system in December of last year, the worst case scenario for 2008 is now a hedging rate of about 1.51 USD/EUR.

K+S thus expects operating earnings EBIT I for this year of between € 1.4 billion and € 1.6 billion (previous forecast: at least € 1.1 billion, previous year: € 285.7 million).

With an essentially unchanged financial result and a corporate tax rate of about 27% to 29% (2007: 29.9%), this year’s adjusted Group earnings after taxes are also expected to increase considerably in line with the development of operating earnings. Here K+S expects a value between € 1.0 billion and € 1.1 billion (previous year: € 175.3 million). This would result in adjusted earnings per share of about € 6.00 to € 6.65 per share (previous year: € 1.06 per share).

31.07.2008

The price level on the global fertilizer markets has risen further tangibly. In particular for potash products and against the backdrop of the continuing shortage, it has again recently proved possible to achieve far higher prices in Europe and overseas; for example, K+S yesterday raised the price for potassium chloride (granular MOP) in Europe by a further EUR 40 to EUR 600. Moreover, on the global markets it is foreseeable that a price level of USD 1,000 per tonne of potassium chloride will have been established during the fourth quarter. Furthermore, within the context of the current preparation of the half-yearly financial results, there are indications of a strong second quarter in which fertilizer prices were still far lower. In the light of these developments, the Board of Executive Directors today raises the forecast for the operating earnings EBIT I of 2008 from previously at least EUR 1.1 billion to between EUR 1.4 and EUR 1.6 billion.

Information about the quarterly financial statements Q2/08 will be published on the Internet within the framework of the half-yearly financial reporting on 13 August 2008 at www.k-plus-s.com.

Under the umbrella of COMPO and its units in Germany and abroad, slow-release fertilizers, coated fertilizers, NPK specialities as well as nutrient salts in the professional area will be managed together with consumer products, and COMPO will be reorganised. Continued access to the ENTEC technology and future innovations for these product segments offer COMPO and its customers from the horticulture, public green areas and nursery segments as well as the home and garden segment attractive prospects.

The two business segments will thus be prepared to meet the challenges of the future. In the course of the second half of the year, further analyses are planned in relation to the concrete implementation of the Board of Executive Directors’ decision.
