BASF Group aims to exceed the record levels of sales and EBIT before special items achieved in 2011.

In H1 2012, BASF will most likely not achieve the exceptionally high results of the comparable period in 2011. However, we aim to outperform H2 2011.

More specifically, we plan to increase sales and earnings in all our business segments with the exception of the segment Chemicals.

In 2012, BASF will strive to earn again a high premium on cost of capital.
