KSB Group reported preliminary earnings results for 2016. The consolidated sales revenue fell by EUR 160.3 million, i.e. 6.9%. At the end of the year it stood at EUR 2,174.6 million, with sales revenue in the Pumps and Valves segments lower than in 2015, while sales revenue for services reached the previous year's level.

The earnings before taxes (EBT) to be published by KSB in the annual report on 30 March will therefore, as announced, be considerably lower than the previous year's figure. The consolidated earnings (EBT) are expected to rise in 2017.
