VIENNA (Thomson Financial) - Mayr-Melnhof Karton AG said its net income was
up 8.7 pct to 116.6 mln eur in 2007, as the company benefited from the general
macro-economic strength in its regions, expanded market share and its ability to
largely offset higher input costs through higher prices.
In earnings released this morning, Mayr-Melnhof said it will propose a
full-year dividend of 1.70 eur a share, compared to 1.40 eur in 2006.
Mayr-Melnhof said that it cannot currently provide a profit estimate for
2008 due to the "limited forecast horizon".
