Earnings Forecast
22.07.2013
In the course of the optimization process of the newly established fusion plant
in Norway, unexpected problems occurred during causter loading, which are
expected to have an adverse effect in the high single-digit million range on the
annual result over the coming months.
For the full year 2013, the Management Board of RHI AG still expects revenues at
the level of the previous year. However, realizing the operating result margin
of the year 2012 appears to be challenging in view of the new developments,
negative foreign currency effects in the second quarter and the persisting
difficult market conditions. As a result of the positive restructuring effects
from the closing of the Chapter 11 proceedings, the EBIT margin will continue to
significantly exceed the prior-year level.
