Hyatt
Profits Up
Greek-listed casino group Hyatt,
which is now controlled by private equity group
BC Partners, said that its 2005 full-year net
profits were up 29.7 pct year on year to 60.6
mln eur under IFRS, swelled by a 17 mln eur
extraordinary profit from the sale of its 20.1
pct shareholding in Hellenic Hotels Lampsa.
Full
year EBITDA was down 4.2 pct to 106.1 mln eur
from 110.8 mln eur in 2004. Group sales were
up 3.4 pct to 307.6 mln eur from 297.5 mln eur.
Management
will propose a dividend for fiscal 2005 of 0.33
eur per share, meaning an additional 0.11 eur

dividend of 0.22 eur per share.

Hyatt closed 0.3 pct lower at 11.20 eur before
the results were announced, and the ASE general
index closed up 1.4 pct to 4,104.5 points.
