Earnings Forecast/Company Information
10.10.2013
- Outlook on net earnings lowered to EUR 10 million after roughly EUR 14 million
in 2012
Mondsee, 10.10.2013. Continuing difficult market conditions in the market for
public swimming pools in Germany and Austria weigh on earnings of the BWT Group
in the current financial year over expectations. Lower income and one-time costs
associated with necessary capacity adjustments as well as optimisation and
reduction of company locations and the product portfolio will burden group net
results in 2013 with EUR 4 million.
Therefore, the management board expects net earnings of EUR 10 million for the
current financial year 2013 after EUR 14 million in the previous year.
Consolidated revenues of the BWT Group are expected at around EUR 500 million
for 2013.
