Fourth quarter combined Segment Result of €52 million improved significantly compared with break-even combined Segment Result in the 3Q. All of the company’s four operating segments achieved positive Segment Result. Higher sales levels, continued tight cost control, and higher factory loading were the main drivers of the earnings improvement, which were, however, partially offset by the weaker U.S. dollar against the Euro.

Net income was €14 million in the 4Q, a strong improvement from the net loss of €23 million in the prior quarter.
