POLYTEC HOLDING AG: H1 2024: sales on stable level, positive progress confirmed in Q2Hörsching (pta015/14.08.2024/07:55) - . The POLYTEC GROUP's consolidated sales revenues in the first half of 2024 amounted to EUR 349.6 million, up 3.0% on the same period of the previous year (H1 2023: EUR 339.6 million). As announced in the outlook for the full year 2024 when the 2023 annual figures were published, a significant improvement in the earnings situation was expected for the first quarter of 2024. The positive development continued in the second quarter. EBIT rose from EUR 0.3 million in the first half of 2023 to EUR 3.5 million in the first six months of 2024. The EBIT margin increased by 0.9 percentage points from 0.1% to 1.0% compared to the same period of the previous year. From today's perspective, the management of POLYTEC Holding AG furthermore expects planned consolidated sales revenues in the range of EUR 660 million to EUR 710 million for the 2024 financial year and is targeting an EBIT margin of around 2% to 3%. The rising sales trend will be strengthened by the ramp-up of new projects, which are a consequence of the high order intakes of previous years. .

As of 30 June 2024, the group's balance sheet total decreased by EUR 1.5 million to EUR 531.5 million compared to 31 December 2023. The equity ratio was 41.0%, and thus 0.4 percentage points below that of the last annual balance sheet date and shows a solid level for years.

Outlook 2024 financial year From today's perspective, the management of POLYTEC Holding AG expects planned consolidated sales revenues in the range of EUR 660 million to EUR 710 million for the 2024 financial year and is targeting an EBIT margin of around 2% to 3%. The rising sales trend will be strengthened by the ramp-up of new projects, which are a consequence of the high order intakes of previous years. In the 2024 financial year, the POLYTEC GROUP expects passenger car production figures for Europe to be roughly at the previous year's level. While the production of heavy commercial vehicles is expected to decline slightly, the call-off figures are expected to rise in the Smart Plastic & Industrial Applications market area. However, the achievement of this outlook is subject to uncertainty. The automotive industry continues to be characterised by a volatile market environment, uncertain demand, and the general transformation towards e-mobility. The earnings situation of the POLYTEC GROUP in the 2024 financial year will be negatively impacted by the high level of wage and material costs, which have already been taken into account in the outlook. Measures introduced in the previous year to increase operational efficiency, especially for two plants, are already showing improvements. However, their full implementation may still take time. In the medium-term, the POLYTEC GROUP considers itself to be in a solid strategic position with regard to its ability to transform the changes in the automotive sector into increasing economic success for itself. The high volume of new orders received in recent financial years indicates that with its product portfolio, particularly in the area of e-mobility, but also outside the automotive sector, the POLYTEC GROUP possesses a very good market standing and can face the future with confidence. .
