DGAP-News: Petro Welt Technologies AG
/ Key word(s): Half Year Results
Vienna, August 24, 2022 In the first half of 2022, Petro Welt Technologies AG (PeWeTe) was confronted with a challenging market environment due to its operating activities in Russia. Nevertheless, the PeWeTe Group was able to report a positive development. Revenue for the first half of 2022 stands at EUR 152.2 million, up by 44.4% year on year (HY1 2021: EUR 105.4 million) partly due to the appreciation of the Russian currency. Revenue in RUB jumped by 34.7% due to operating growth. At 39.3%, the cost of sales showed slightly slower growth than revenue, boosting the Group’s gross profit by 89.0% to EUR 20.6 million. Accordingly, the gross profit margin improved to 13.5% in the first half of 2022, up from 10.3% in the same period of the previous year. The Group recorded a 34.7% increase in administrative expenses, which grew at a slower rate than both revenue and the cost of sales. In the first half of 2022, selling expenses soared by 75.0% to EUR 1.4 million due to the increase in transportation costs. The strong operational result led to an EBIT margin of 4.4% in the reporting period. Thanks to rising deposit interest rates, interest income more than doubled to EUR 4.7 million, up from EUR 1.9 million in the same period of 2021. The net financial result thus is positive at EUR 1.9 million. Profit before tax stands at EUR 8.6 million with a corresponding margin of 5.7%. Due to the significant increase in operations compared with the previous year, the Group posted negative cash flow from operating activities. The increase in operations required greater investments in working capital, especially inventories and receivables.
