/ Key word(s): Preliminary Results/Miscellaneous
The United Electronic Technology (UET) AG (ISIN: DE000A0LBKW6), Eschborn, Germany, announces further preliminary financials for the fiscal year 2022. UET AG generated consolidated sales of EUR 48.978 million (previous year: EUR 41.723 million). This corresponds to a growth of 17 percent. The main growth contribution came from installation of optical gigabit systems and the expansion of 5G mobile networks. Preliminary earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) amounted to EUR 4.188 million for the fiscal year 2022 (previous year: EUR 5.622 million). Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) amounted to EUR 0.937 million, compared to EUR 2.582 million in the previous year. Both EBITDA and EBIT include expenses of around EUR 4 million for a project to increase the company supply chain resilience. These expenses for product developments and process adaptions were fully expensed. The results of this project had a significant contribution to the ability to manage challenges in the supply of semiconductors due to disruptions in the supply chain in the 2nd half of the year. Shipments for systems, especially in the fourth quarter, enabled a positive EBIT for the full financial year, after an EBIT of EUR -1,857 million for the first half year of 2022. A strong intake of new orders led to a record order backlog of the UET Group as of Dec. 31, 2022 of EUR 52.5 million. Without any unexpected market disruptions, the UET Group expects revenue growth of 15 percent and a further improvement in operating profit in 2023. In the first quarter of 2023, the order backlog with new orders increased to around EUR 57 million. "We are experiencing high demand in the market.
