FORTEC Elektronik AG starts the 2022/2023 financial year successfully

• Group turnover of EUR 25.0 million around 18 % above the previous year’s level (PY: EUR 21.2 million).
• Group operating EBIT of EUR 2.7 million significantly higher than that of the previous year (PY: EUR 2.2 million).
• The order book of EUR 98.6 million on 30 September 2022 exceeds that of the previous year (PY: EUR 68.6 million) by more than 40 %.

According to preliminary figures, FORTEC Elektronik AG recorded further sustainable earnings growth in the first quarter of the 2022/2023 financial year despite the challenging environment.

According to preliminary calculations, group turnover in the first quarter rose to around EUR 25.0 million (PY: 21.2 million) and therefore represented growth of around 18 % compared to the previous year.

Despite the increased material and staff costs, the earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of EUR 2.7 million increased disproportionally compared to the revenue, by around 23 % (PY: EUR 2.2 million). The pleasing development is due to sales growth and, good price implementation and currency gains.

“We had a successful start to the new financial year. But we are still planning conservatively. Cost visibility is currently very impaired and does not allow for precise estimates. However, the large order book makes us optimistic for the coming months and quarters”, comments Sandra Maile, CEO of FORTEC Elektronik AG.

The announcement for the first quarter of 2022/2023 will be available on the company's website (https://www.fortecag.de/en/investor-relations/reports/) from 25 November 2022.
