BASF steps closer to Engelhard deal: reports record profits for 2005
BASF is studying a draft of a confidentiality agreement drawn up by Engelhard. Signing the agreement would allow BASF to clearly examine Engelhard's financial data, but also require the company to undertake not to make a hostile bid for Engelhard. BASF, which has so far been hostile in its approach, is undecided whether to sign the confidentiality agreement or not. It may also raise its offer for Engelhard from the current $37/share. BASF's Ebitda climbed 7%, to โฌ8.2 bn ($9.8 bn), on sales up 14%, to โฌ42.7 bn. Ebitda for 4Q 2005 was flat at โฌ1.6 bn, on sales up 16% to โฌ11.7 bn. Ebit from North American operations rose threefold, to โฌ855 M, on sales up 17%, to โฌ9.5 bn. The company intends to save another $150 M/y with a new regional efficiency project due for completion in mid-2007.
