Compared to September 30, 2009, total assets rose by €118 million, or 10%, to €1,317 million (Sept. 30, 2009: €1,199 million).
The rise in current assets was attributable largely to an increase in cash and cash equivalents by €41 million to €57 million (Sept. 30, 2009: €16 million) as well as inventories by €54 million to €308 million (Sept. 30, 2009: €254 million).
The increase in equity was mainly due to the net result from profit for the period of €80 million (previous year: €87 million) and the dividend distribution to owners, amounting to €59 million (previous year: €67 million). The rise in current liabilities by €99 million to €734 million (Sept. 30, 2009: €635 million) was primarily a result of an increase in trade payables by €57 million to €314 million (Sept. 30, 2009: €257 million) as well as a rise in other liabilities by €31 million to €200 million (Sept. 30, 2009: €169 million).
