DGAP-Adhoc: ?Nanogate Adjusts Forecast to Market Development and Strengthens Future-Oriented NXI Program

DGAP-Ad-hoc: Nanogate SE / Key word(s): Change in Forecast/Preliminary Results Nanogate Adjusts Forecast to Market Development and Strengthens Future-Oriented NXI Program Göttelborn, Germany, August 22, 2019. Nanogate SE, a leading global technology company for design-oriented, multifunctional components and surfaces, has updated its forecast for the 2019 fiscal year in view of the current market development. At the same time, the Group will strengthen the measures within the framework of the future-oriented Nanogate Excellence International (NXI) program. The earnings development in 2019 has been significantly affected by the economic slowdown, which has intensified in the past weeks. The uncertainty of customers that had been pointed out by Nanogate in June, particularly in the mobility sector, is continuing to increase. As a result, new orders have been started later, volumes have been reduced and some ongoing orders have been terminated early. Faced with these conditions, Nanogate will intensify its future-oriented NXI program and, most importantly, review the structure of its sites more intensively. As previously announced, these additional restructuring measures will, together with higher start-up costs for new major orders, also affect the earnings development in the 2019 fiscal year. Nanogate now anticipates an operating result (EBITDA) of between EUR 14 million and EUR 17 million for the 2019 fiscal year (2018: EUR 24.2 million). Accordingly, a consolidated net loss in the high single-digit million range (2018: EUR +1.4 million) is expected. It is anticipated that sales will increase to between EUR 245 million and EUR 250 million (2018: EUR 239.2 million), while sales of over EUR 250 million had previously been forecast. In view of the market development and the associated uncertainty of customers, the forecast for the 2020 fiscal year will be reviewed. According to preliminary figures, Nanogate increased its Group sales in the first half of 2019 to roughly EUR 122 million (previous year: EUR 119.4 million). The operating result (EBITDA) came to roughly EUR 8 million (previous year: EUR 12.7 million) and the consolidated net loss to roughly EUR -3 million (previous year: EUR +1.8 million). As of the reporting date of June 30, 2019, the Group had cash and cash equivalents of roughly EUR 33 million.
