Get impressions of Sulzer’s activities around the world and insights into the solutions the company is offering to its main markets.
Building on operational discipline and its strong order backlog, Sulzer managed the challenges of the global economic downturn well in 2009 and maintained its strong market positions. Return on sales reached a high level of 12.4% before and 11.0% after restructuring expenses. Free cash flow increased substantially. Net income reached CHF 270.4 million, corresponding to earnings per share (EPS) of CHF 8.06. The Sulzer Board of Directors is proposing an unchanged dividend of CHF 2.80 per share. Tim Summers has been proposed for election as a new board member to replace Urs Andreas Meyer. Sulzer is well positioned for sustainable success based on its strong market positions, its operational and strategic initiatives and its sound financial situation. Due to reduced market activity in 2010, order intake and sales are expected to decrease, resulting in a lower operating income and return on sales.
