FORTEC Elektronik AG publishes audited consolidated figures and the financial report for the financial year 2022/2023 today (reporting period: 01/07/2022 - 30/06/2023), which is available on the company's website ().

With a consolidated turnover of EUR 105.9 million (previous year: EUR 89.0 million), FORTEC was even able to exceed the medium-term revenue target of EUR 100 million from 2021 and was within the optimistic range of the revenue forecast for the 2022/2023 financial year of EUR 97.0 to 110.0 million, which was most recently raised in May 2023. At the same time, earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT), the company's key performance indicator, increased from EUR 8.5 million in the previous year to EUR 10.7 million, which corresponds to an increase of 26 % compared to the previous year. This means that the Group EBIT is also in the upper range of the forecast made in May 2023 (EUR 10.0 to 11.0 million). The consolidated net income for the year was EUR 7.6 million (previous year: EUR 6.3 million). Earnings per share rose from EUR 1.92 in the previous year to EUR 2.32.

Sandra Maile, CEO of FORTEC Elektronik AG, comments: “The results of the 2022/2023 financial year are extremely pleasing and demonstrate the successful implementation of our strategy. Not only did we exceed the EUR 100 million turnover mark, but we also significantly increased our EBIT and therefore achieved another record result. This is the result of hard work and the commitment of our team.”

The data visualisation segment contributed to the total turnover with a turnover of EUR 68.0 million (previous year: EUR 56.3 million). The share of sales accounted for by the power supplies segment amounted to EUR 37.9 million (previous year: EUR 32.7 million). 

For the 2023/2024 financial year, which has already begun, the Executive Board forecasts consolidated revenue of between EUR 106.0 and 116.0 million and a Group EBIT in the range of EUR 9.5 to 11.0 million. This forecast is based on the continued good order book, but also on the current inflationary situation and the ongoing uncertainties of a geopolitical nature.

Sandra Maile adds: “We are confident that we can continue on our growth path, strengthened by our strong order book and our ability to adapt in a changing economic environment.”

Dividends

Due to the successful financial year 2022/2023, the Management Board and the Supervisory Board propose distributing a dividend of EUR 0.85 per share from the retained earnings of FORTEC Elektronik AG as at 30 June 2023 (previous year: EUR 0.70 per share). This proposal will be put to the vote at the Annual General Meeting on 7 February 2024 in Munich.
