DGAP-Adhoc: euromicron AG lowers guidance for 2018

Frankfurt/Main, 5 November 2018 - euromicron AG, a medium-sized technology group and specialist for the "Internet of Things" (IoT), further intensified its measures to transform the group during the third quarter 2018 and will continue on that path throughout the remaining months of the current fiscal year. With that, sales and earnings have been temporarily negatively impacted by extraordinary factors while the operating cashflow improved significantly. According to preliminary figures, sales thus decreased by 4.5 % from EUR 244.0 million to EUR 233.0 million for the nine-months period, the operating EBITDA stood at EUR 4.8 million after EUR 7.2 million last year. The operating cash flow improved significantly by EUR 11.7 million to EUR -3.9 million. As announced, euromicron will publish its complete nine-month report on 8 November 2018.

Due to the deviance of sales and earnings from the originally planned figures for that period and in light of planned additional structural adjustments throughout the fourth quarter management lowered its guidance for 2018. As per now, sales are anticipated to amount to between EUR 310 million and EUR 330 million for the entire year and the operating EBITDA-margin is expected to lay between 2.0 % and 4.0 %. Extraordinary costs of up to EUR 5 million will burden earnings thereby. Initial expectations had been at between EUR 340 million and EUR 360 million for sales, at between 4.0% and 5.0% for the operating EBITDA-margin and at up to EUR 2 million for extraordinary costs.
