Beelen, 17 May 2021

Aumann AG ("Aumann", ISIN: DE000A2DAM03) increased its order intake in the first quarter of 2021 by 31.8% year-on-year to €50.5 million. Revenues declined to €36.4 million in the first three months against the backdrop of the subdued order intake in the previous year. The E-mobility segment accounted for 62.6% of total revenues. Due to non-recurring expenses for concept and process validation, EBITDA in the first quarter was €-0.5 million, corresponding to an EBITDA margin of -1.4%.

The E-mobility segment's order intake jumped to €44.7 million in the first quarter and therefore more than tripled compared to the same period last year. The E-Mobility segment's share of total order intake thus rose to 88.4%. Aumann has succeeded in winning a major contract in the field of battery technology with particularly good prospects. The company will develop highly automated production lines for the assembly of high-voltage batteries on behalf of a premium carmaker. The new solution will become a key technological pillar for the carmaker's electrification path and provides for further scalability across the associated production platform.

The increased order intake in the E-mobility segment underlines Aumann's technological expertise in automation solutions for electric drivetrains and battery systems. The company's strategic positioning in the electromobility market is proving to have a promising future, despite the challenges of the past two years. Thanks to a more flexible company structure, a liquidity position of € 93.8 million and a solid equity ratio of 66.2 %, Aumann has sufficient room to manoeuvre and improve the company's standing considerably in 2021.
