Delignit AG expects to exceed revenue forecast for 2018

- Successful launch of serial production of light commercial vehicles in Europe and NAFTA

- Call-off volumes in target market automotive above expectations

- Expansion of capital market communication in English

Blomberg, 22 November 2018. Delignit AG (ISIN DE000A0MZ4B0), a leading manufacturer of ecological hardwood-based products and system solutions, has successfully launched the serial production of previously reported orders for light commercial vehicles. Delignit North America Inc. has commenced operations to ensure the necessary deliveries to the North American market.

Against the backdrop of high call-off volumes from serial-delivery contracts in the automotive sector, Group revenues in fiscal year 2018 are expected to be slightly above the published forecast. The one-off start-up costs for the serial-supply contracts, combined with the project costs for the most recently reported motor caravan order, caused disproportionately high costs in the second half of the year. Notwithstanding this, the Management Board confirms that the forecast EBITDA margin for the annual results will be at the previous year's level.

As part of the increasing internationalisation of its business model and the interest of foreign investors, Delignit AG also publishes its financial information in English. The English version of the Semi-Annual Report 2018 is available to investors in the Investor Relations section at www.delignit.com.
