earnings forecast for 2007 raised by EUR 8 million to EUR 110 million / lower
tax rate in 2008 expected to be sustained in following years.
Bad Neustadt a.d.Saale, 16. August 2007 -----
After the Federal President confirmed the corporate tax reform, it can be
safely assumed that income tax rates will be lowered. Since RHÖN-KLINIKUM
AG generates its revenue exclusively in Germany, it will reap
disproportionately high benefits from the lowering of corporate tax rates
from 25% now to 15% in future.
As a result of changes in corporate tax legislation to take place from
2008, the Board of Management of RHÖN-KLINIKUM AG expects its tax ratio to
fall by approx. 8 percentage points to 19% from financial year 2008.
Already for financial year 2007, then, it will be necessary to revaluate
the deferred tax items on the asset and liabilities sides of the balance
sheet. Net existing tax liabilities will be reduced by approx. EUR 8 million
with a correspondingly positive impact on earnings. The Board of Management
of RHÖN-KLINIKUM AG therefore raises its earnings forecast for 2007 from EUR
102 million to EUR 110 million.
