Aumann increases sales by 6.6% in the first quarter of 2019 despite difficult market environment

Beelen, 15 May 2019

In a market environment fraught with uncertainty, Aumann AG's ("Aumann", ISIN: DE000A2DAM03) revenue grew by 6.6% to EUR67.4 million, thereby giving the company its strongest first quarter in its history. With EBIT of EUR6.9 million, the EBIT margin for the first quarter was slightly higher than for 2018 as a whole at 10.2%. Against the backdrop of a challenging general economic situation and palpable restraint in the automotive industry, the E-mobility segment is becoming more and more significant.

Revenue in the E-mobility segment surged by around 35.0% year-on-year to approximately EUR26.7 million in the first quarter. The share of revenue generated by E-mobility was therefore around 40.0% for the first time. The segment's EBIT also developed positively and rose to around EUR3.5 million with an adjusted EBIT margin of 13.1%. The E-mobility segment thus contributed more than 50% to operating earnings.

Incoming orders in the first quarter reflect the current investment restraint in the automotive industry. Although incoming orders in the E-mobility segment are not affected as much by the uncertainty being felt by carmakers at this time, the segment was unable to counteract the decline in the Classic segment. At EUR41.8 million by March 2019, total incoming orders were significantly lower than in the same quarter of the previous year. The E-mobility share of incoming orders rose by 14.6 percentage points to 58.1%. As the offer situation is good despite everything, we are anticipating more dynamic incoming orders in the second and third quarters.
