OMV: Austrian oil and gas company OMV and the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) signed two Memorandums of Understanding to explore new opportunities for collaboration in the petrochemical sector. One agreement provides for collaboration in the petrochemical sector, including the evaluation of new opportunities in petrochemical projects as a potential extension to the existing partnerships, as well as the exchange of knowledge and experience in petrochemical operations and refinery-petrochemical integration and optimization. The two companies will also assess opportunities for petrochemicals marketing support. The second agreement intends to explore potential opportunities for collaboration in the area of OMV’s patented ReOil® process. This innovative process converts used plastics into synthetic crude, which can then be used to produce fuels or feedstock for petrochemical plants, thereby making a significant contribution to a sustainable future. The MoU provides for the establishment of a joint working group that should assess the feasibility of a scalable ReOil® plant in the UAE.

KTM Industries: The KTM Industries-Group confirms the preliminary results for the financial year 2018, already published on January 28, 2019, with record revenue in the amount of Euro 1,559.6 mn (+2%). The operating result (EBIT) increased to Euro 161.2 mn (+22 %). Maintaining the dividend policy, it will be proposed to the Annual General Meeting that a stable dividend of 30 cents per share is paid out for the financial year 2018. With 212,899 sold KTM motorcycles and already 48,555 sold Husqvarna motorcycles sold in the financial year 2018, KTM AG has further expanded its position as the largest European motorcycle manufacturer. Sales increased by around 10% compared to the previous year. In 2019 KTM Industries anticipates the European market growth to slow down. A further market decline is expected for North America. KTM expects the highest relative growth rates above all in the ASEAN region and in India.Despite a still volatile and very challenging market environment, the development strategy of the KTM Industries-Group continues to focus on organic growth. Among other things, this will be achieved by expanding the existing dealer network and introducing new products. Overall, a positive outlook can be provided for the 2019 financial year. The goal is to maintain the EBIT margin and increase the free cash flow potential to 3-5 % of revenue (p.a.). With the transfer of the production of Husqvarna road motorcycles up to 400 cm3 to the strategic partner Bajaj planned in Q4 2019, KTM expects a continuation of its growth course. KTM expects further sales increases in the emerging markets due to the competitive manufacturing costs. The relocation to India also creates additional free production capacities in Mattighofen. KTM Industries AG confirms its sales target of 400,000 motorcycles for 2022. In addition, KTM has set itself the goal of developing Husqvarna Motorcycles into the third largest European motorcycle manufacturer.
