HELLA continues to grow more rapidly than the automotive market even in a challenging market environment 
- According to preliminary figures, currency and portfolio-adjusted sales grew by 13.3 percent to EUR 6.5 billion in 
fiscal year 2020/2021 
- At EUR 510 million, adjusted earnings before interest and taxes were more than twice as high as in the prior year; 
adjusted EBIT margin was 8.0 percent 
Lippstadt, 28 July 2021. Based on preliminary financial results, the globally positioned automotive supplier HELLA has 
concluded the fiscal year 2020/2021 (1 June 2020 to 31 May 2021) with a significant increase in sales and earnings. 
Currency and portfolio-adjusted consolidated sales increased by 13.3 percent to EUR 6.5 billion (prior year: EUR 5.7 
billion). The adjusted earnings before interest and taxes rose to EUR 510 million (prior year: EUR 227 million) and the 
adjusted EBIT margin was 8.0 percent (prior year: 4.0 percent). With these preliminary financial results, HELLA is in 
the upper reaches of the forecast ranges raised in December 2020. Accordingly, the company has continued to grow more 
rapidly than the global automotive market. 
"The last fiscal year was marked by numerous challenges. Alongside mastering the impact of the global Covid-19 
pandemic, we experienced significant resource bottlenecks in the global supply and logistics chains in the course of 
the year that had a perceptibly negative effect on our business. The situation will most likely remain unchanged in the 
current fiscal year," said HELLA CEO Dr. Rolf Breidenbach, as the preliminary financial results were presented. "We are 
therefore all the more pleased about the excellent results for the last fiscal year. The preliminary figures attest to 
the strength of our business model and above all, to the commitment of our more than 36,000 employees worldwide. On 
that basis, we were able to acquire much new business during the last fiscal year, particularly in key areas such as 
energy management, autonomous driving and innovative lighting technologies. As a consequence, we are in a good position 
to master the challenges of the future." 
The complete and final financial results for fiscal year 2020/2021 will be published on 19 August 2021.
