FORTEC Elektronik AG confirms preliminary figures for
the first half of 2022/2023 and continues on its growth trajectory

  • Group turnover of EUR 49.4 million around 18 % above the previous year’s level (PY: EUR 42.1 million)
  • Group operating EBIT of EUR 4.6 million (PY: EUR 4.1 million) up by around 14 %
  • Order book still high as of 31 December 2022, at EUR 95.0 million (PY: EUR 73.7 million)
  • Full year forecast for 2022/2023 confirmed

FORTEC Elektronik AG has continued its growth trajectory successfully in the first half of 2022/2023. In the first six months of the current 2022/2023 financial year, the FORTEC Group achieved a turnover of EUR 49.4 million (PY: EUR 42.1 million). The increase in turnover was therefore around 18 %. Sales of high-margin industrial monitors in the data visualisation segment and power supplies for harsh environments developed particularly dynamically.

With an increase of around 14 %, the operational earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) increased significantly to EUR 4.6 million despite the inflationary environment and the associated cost increases (PY: EUR 4.1 million). The EBIT margin therefore remained almost unchanged at 9.4 % despite higher general operating costs and agreed wage increases (PY: 9.7 %).

The consolidated net profit increased by around 7 % to EUR 3.4 million (PY: EUR 3.2 million). Earnings per share therefore rose from EUR 0.98 to EUR 1.04.

 

“Despite the market environment remaining challenging, in the first half of 2022/2023, we were able to continue the dynamic business development from the previous year and achieve a highly satisfactory result. With the order book standing at EUR 95.0 million (PY: EUR 73.7 million) on 31 December 2022, we’re now heading into the second half of the year with a considerable tail wind”, commented Sandra Maile, CEO of FORTEC Elektronik AG on the half-year results for the 2022/2023 financial year.

Provided that there is no deterioration to the prevailing conditions in the current 2022/2023 financial year, the Management Board confirms its forecast and expects a further increase in Group turnover to between EUR 91 million and EUR 97 million, and expects a Group EBIT in the range of EUR 8.0 million to EUR 9.0 million.
