Lanxess' EBITDA margin pre exceptionals

improved from 10.1 percent to 11.2 percent.

Net income also increased substantially

to EUR 165 million from EUR 47 million.

Compared with the prior year, sales remained

virtually stable at EUR 7.9 billion (2014: EUR 8.0 billion).

lower raw material prices

were largely compensated by favorable currency effects.
