FORTEC Elektronik AG is publishing its financial report for the 2021/2022 financial year (01/07/2021 – 30/06/2022) today, which can also be viewed by visiting the company's website (https://www.fortecag.de/en/investor-relations/reports/).

FORTEC Elektronik AG achieved a record result in the last financial year 2021/2022, despite challenging prevailing conditions.

In the 2021/2021 financial year (01/07/2021 - 30/06/2022), the FORTEC Group generated revenue of EUR 89.0 million (previous year: 77.4 million), which corresponds to an increase of around 15 % in absolute terms compared to the previous year. Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) increased significantly to EUR 8.5 million (previous year: EUR 5.3 million). The EBIT margin increased from 6.9 % in the previous year to 9.5 %. The consolidated net income for the year was EUR 6.3 million (previous year: EUR 3.8 million).

The results achieved therefore stand well above the forecast range from the previous year's Group management report (up to 12% growth in turnover and up to 10% Group EBIT growth) and within the optimistic range of the latest forecasts (turnover of EUR 85 to 90 million and EBIT of EUR 8.0 to 8.7 million).

Sandra Maile, CEO of FORTEC Elektronik AG, comments: "The positive turnover development and, in particular, the record EBIT result not only underline the robustness of FORTEC's business model, but also show that the measures already implemented as part of our "Grow Together 2025" strategy are paying off."

Despite the many economic uncertainties, the Management Board anticipates a further increase in Group revenue to between EUR 91 million and EUR 97 million in the current financial year 2022/2023. On the earnings side, the Management Board is currently planning conservatively due to the general rise in costs and expects a Group EBIT of between EUR 8 million and EUR 9 million. Sandra Maile adds: "The current high level of orders - the order backlog as at 30 September 2022 is around EUR 99 million - makes us optimistic about achieving our targets for the current financial year, subject to macroeconomic developments and the critical supply situation."

Dividends

The Management Board and Supervisory Board are maintaining their stable dividend policy and will propose a dividend as at 30 June 2022 of EUR 0.70 per share (previous year: EUR 0.60 per share) to the Annual General Meeting. The AGM will take place on 15 February 2023.
