Important key figures for listed companies in Austria 2006-2010 and 2002-2010
October 2011, Barbara Hauenschild, 21 pages
This report attempts to give a retrospective view to economic indicators of those companies, which are listed at the Vienna Stock Exchange in the “Prime Market” segment. The first part deals with the 38 companies, which are currently listed in the “Prime Market”, comparing years 2006 and 2010. The second part provides a longer-term review of the development. Overall one can say: according to the analysis of the business figures for 2010, prime market companies have obviously recovered from the crisis; only every tenth company had to record losses after tax. Sales and profits have increased and almost reached the level before the crisis; board remuneration and dividend payments are also on the increase again. However, the number of employees was also slightly on the decrease in 2010. Personnel costs per employee show they do not benefit from the positive economic development of these companies to the same extent as do owners or board members.
