In the second half of 2019, the Management Board expects growing sales for the Group and a significantly better Group operating result, despite rising staff costs and raw materials and consumables used.

The Management Board expects that due to the legislator's regulatory requirements, in particular expenditures for qualified staff will increase significantly in the current financial year.
