Earnings Forecast
K+S adjusts US dollar hedging
Operating earnings EBIT I for 2007 expected at lower end of the previously published forecast (EUR 310 million to EUR 325 million)

The K+S Group has adjusted its US dollar hedging based on 
double-barrier options to changed market conditions. All remaining 
options with upper knock-out barriers of 1.43 USD/EUR for the months 
of October to December 2007 now have higher knock-out barriers. As a 
consequence of this restructuring, the average hedged rate incl. 
premium payment for 2007 will deteriorate from 1.11 USD/EUR to about 
1.20 USD/EUR. As a result of this, operating earnings EBIT I of the 
K+S Group for 2007 will reach a value that, assuming an average 
de-icing salt business during the fourth quarter, will be at the 
lower end of the previously published profit forecast of EUR 310 
million to EUR 325 million.
With regard to 2008, the Board of Executive Directors of K+S 
Aktiengesellschaft remains confident. This assessment is based 
primarily on the healthy development of demand in the Potash and 
Magnesium Products business segment; the price increases already 
implemented in the markets this year alone should lead to a 
significant increase in revenues in the coming year, one that should 
more than make up for currency effects and other cost effects.
