Wacker Ends Q2 2010 with New Sales Record

Wacker Chemie ended Q2 2010 with a new sales record, primarily thanks to much higher sales volumes. Q2 2010 sales climbed 30% to €1,202.0 million (Q2 2009: €925.5 million). Growth was additionally driven by the stronger US dollar. In contrast, lower prices slowed the sales increase to some extent.

Wacker also posted clear earnings gains compared to both a year ago and Q1 2010. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (Ebitda) in Q2 climbed to €308.6 million (Q2 2009: €170.1 million) up over 81% on the prior year, Ebitda rose at more than double the rate of sales.
