KATEK SE provided financial guidance for the year 2021. The company continues to see the target communicated in the securities prospectus (sales revenues 2021 EUR >500 million ) confirmed and expects a continuation of the positive business development for the full year after the successful first half of the year. Based on the known environmental conditions, the strong position in high-growth segments and the sustainable optimization projects currently being implemented, sales and operating EBITDA (adjusted) are again expected to exceed the respective prior-year figures. This means consolidated sales of around EUR 535 to 560 million and an increase in operating profit (adjusted EBITDA) of between 30 and 59% to EUR 27 to 33 million.
