Diskus Werke - Hard grind

Diskus Werke has accompanied predictably solid H1 results (PBT up 5%) with lowered 2018 PBT guidance, now expected to be up 3% at €14m, suggesting a flat H2. While half-yearly divisional performance is not disclosed, this shortfall is attributed mainly to the expected turnaround of longstanding loss-making subsidiaries rather than core demand (June 2018 order book up 15% y-o-y with H1 book/bill ratio of 1.09 vs 0.95 y-o-y). Finances remain sound (debt/equity ratio 51%) despite much higher net debt, driven by working capital needs and continued strong investment.
