Royal DSM N.V. today provides the investment community with comparative figures for 2007 that reflect the company’s new cluster structure as of 1 January 2008. The new structure was announced in September 2007 and is a result of the acceleration of DSM’s strategy Vision 2010 – Building on Strengths.

As of 1 January 2008 DSM’s activities are grouped into five reporting clusters to reflect DSM’s accelerated shift to Life Sciences and Materials Sciences: Nutrition, Pharma, Performance Materials and Polymer Intermediates as well as the non-core Base Chemicals and Materials cluster.

The comparative figures can be found in the annex to this press release (PDF: 16 Kb) and can also be downloaded from the Investors section on the DSM corporate website, www.dsm.com.
