Order intake increased by 50.9 % to EUR72.4 million of which 43.5 % were in the E-mobility segment. Taking into account the large number of new orders in the fourth quarter 2017, Aumann is very content with the continuing high order dynamic.

Adjusted EBIT in the first three months reached EUR7.5 million, corresponding to an EBIT margin of 11.9 %. Profitability was especially positive in the E-mobility segment, where the EBIT-margin reached 14.2 %.

In order to meet the strong market demand, Aumann plans to further expand its capacities organically and through acquisitions. With EUR102.6 million in cash and an equity ratio of 52.8%, the company has plenty resources for these investments.
