Sartorius revised earnings guidance for the year 2021. Based on very strong order intake during the first 10 weeks of 2021 and high demand expected to continue in the further course of the year, the company has raised its growth forecast for both divisions and, therefore, for the entire Group for fiscal 2021. Against the backdrop of higher sales expectations and significant economies of scale, the company's earnings outlook has also been raised. Management now projects consolidated sales growth of around 35% (previously 19% to 25%) and an underlying EBITDA margin1 of about 32% (previously about 30.5%) for the Group.
