Beelen, 15 August 2023

Aumann AG (“Aumann”, ISIN: DE000A2DAM03), a leading manufacturer of automated E-mobility production solutions, looks back on a very successful first half of 2023 with strong double-digit revenue growth and at the same time significantly increased profitability. With an order intake above the strong previous year's level and a further increase in the order backlog to a new record high, the company's dynamic growth course beyond the current financial year is once again confirmed.

Driven by the excellent market positioning and the outstanding order situation, revenue climbed by 29.0% to €119.0 million in the first half of the year. The E-Mobility segment grew by a remarkable 51.4% to €88.3 million. The EBITDA margin almost doubled year-on-year from 3.3% to 6.5%. EBITDA increased by 155.5% to €7.8 million in the first six months due to both volume and quality factors. Adjusted for special effects related to personnel expenses from the stock option program, adjusted EBITDA amounted to €8.1 million with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 6.8%. For the financial year 2023, the management continues to expect revenue of more than €250 million and an EBTIDA margin of 6 to 7%.

Order intake in the first six months of 2023 reached €173.2 million, exceeding the strong previous year's figure by 4.6%. In the second quarter alone, orders worth a total of €98.0 million were acquired across both segments, of which €94.1 million was attributable to the growth segment E-mobility. With a book-to-bill ratio of 1.46 in the first half of the year, the order backlog increased by 25.8% year-on-year to €313.6 million. At €252.4 million, more than 80% of the order backlog was attributable to the E-mobility segment. Based on the comfortable order backlog, Aumann continues to focus on high margin realization to further improve profitability beyond the 2023 financial year.

In view of the attractive valuation, Aumann acquired treasury shares worth €6.0 million in the first half of the year. In the third quarter, Aumann also acquired further treasury shares worth €0.9 million as part of the share buyback program completed at the end of July. As of June 30, 2023, Aumann is excellently positioned for the company's profitable growth with a liquidity position of €102.6 million and an equity ratio of 56.5%.
