gIvIng shareholders a share In the company’s performance
earnings per share are calculated by dividing the year’s net income attributable to the shareholders in GeRRY WeBeR in- ternational AG by the weighted number of shares outstand- ing during the financial year. The number of shares outstand- ing during the 2011/12 financial year was 45,905,960. Consequently earnings per share amount to euR 1,72. GeRRY WeBeR was one of the few stocks to defy the market
trend during this period, rising by 9.7%. Following a slight recovery in the markets during the first quarter of 2012, which saw the dAx advance to just under 7,200 points, the situation in the capital markets started to deteriorate again from mid-April, pushing the dAx back to below 6,000 points in June 2012. in light of the interventions by european governments and the european Central Bank, the current consensus is apparently that europe’s fiscal and debt crisis seems politically manageable. The capital markets have performed accordingly; between July and the end of our financial year on 31 october 2012, the dAx recovered to 7,260 points, experiencing some slight fluctuations on the way.
The price of the GeRRY WeBeR share remained almost unaf- fected by the general developments in the capital markets. Following a short phase of weakness between may and mid- June 2012, the share price continued its uptrend and marked its high for the financial year at the end of the period when it reached euR 35.02. The rise in the share price by 55.6% is a clear reflection of the entire GeRRY WeBeR Group’s positive performance as well as of the market’s perception of the company’s potential for growth going forward.
