DGAP-Ad-hoc: KSB SE & Co. KGaA / Key word(s): Change in Forecast KSB SE & Co. KGaA: Adjustment of sales and earnings forecast 2018 13-Aug-2018 / 17:49 CET/CEST Disclosure of an inside information acc. to Article 17 MAR of the Regulation (EU) No 596/2014, transmitted by DGAP - a service of EQS Group AG. The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Adjustment of the sales revenue and earnings forecast for 2018 FRANKENTHAL: The KSB Group adjusts its sales revenue and earnings forecast for the 2018 financial year. Due to adverse currency translation effects, the KSB Group expects just moderate growth in sales revenue overall for the 2018 financial year. Increasing global economic and political risks, like the current trade disputes, are other reasons why the KSB Group expects EBT for the full year 2018 to fall considerably short of the prior-year level. It includes provisions for a legacy project in the United Kingdom; a corresponding ad hoc statement was already issued on 2 May 2018. Under completely new management in 2018, the KSB Group intensified its sales activities in the first six months of this year in market sectors with strategic priority and increasingly analyses cost structures, processes and sales opportunities for its product portfolio on the market. In response to changes in the economic environment, the KSB Group systematically fosters process and product innovations and puts a focus on efficiency and profitability improvements in all corporate areas. KSB will publish its half-year financial report on 14 August 2018.
