Frankfurt/Main, 20 October 2020

The Executive Board of KION GROUP AG decided today to quantify the outlook for 2020. It currently anticipates that the key performance indicators for 2020 of the KION GROUP AG as a whole and of the Industrial Trucks & Services segment and the Supply Chain Solutions segment will be in the following ranges:

 Outlook 2020

In view of the risks arising from the further course of the coronavirus pandemic, the assessment of the Group's business performance over the remainder of this year is still very uncertain. A further economic downturn in key sales markets would lead to KION Group's performance and financial results differing significantly from those in the outlook.
