Earnings Forecast
02.10.2020
Vienna - Based on initial indications for the second quarter the company expects
no improvement of the revenue and earnings situation compared to the first
quarter of financial year 2020/21.
Consequently, the operating result (EBIT) of the financial year will likely be
clearly negative. A negative two-digit million value is expected. An important
reason for this is COVID-19: Revenues in the profitable components business
strongly suffer from decreased traffic volumes. In addition - in spite of some
pleasing project wins - there are more delays in tender processes and the award
of contracts. Catch-up effects in a relevant scale are expected not before the
next financial year. Possible impairments of non-current assets cannot be ruled
out for financial year 2020/21.
For the annual revenues, precise forecasts are also still difficult. Currently
the company assumes a decline of 15 to 20%.
As a result of the expected clearly negative results, the current dividend
policy is being suspended until further notice. No dividend shall be expected
for financial year 2020/21.
