Fuchs Petrolub SE provided earnings guidance for 2021. The FUCHS Group is taking the outlook for 2021 on the basis of the expected global economic development, growth in the lubricants market, and its global and broadly diversified structure. FUCHS assumes a recovery of the global economy in all regions, although this is not yet expected to reach the pre-crisis level in all of FUCHS' industries and customer groups. In addition, disruptions to supply chains as a result of the coronavirus pandemic still represent a burden. Sales revenues are therefore expected to achieve the pre-crisis level, sales revenues of 2019, just under EUR 2.6 billion. With regard to earnings, the Executive Board expects to maintain the level of 2020, EUR 313 million. With a slight rise in cost of capital and EBIT at the level of 2020, FUCHS Value Added is expected to be at around EUR 160 million.
