HÖRMANN Industries GmbH (corporate bond, WKN: A2TSCH) today published its financial results for the first nine months of 2022. In the reporting period, the Group's turnover increased from € 430.0 million to € 470.7 million compared to the same period of the previous year. However, the increase in turnover was mainly due to inflation-related price increases. For example, sales in the Automotive division alone (9M 2022: € 288.7 million) include almost € 30 million from material price increases that were passed on without affecting earnings. At € 117.7 million, sales in the Communication division were on a par with the previous year (9M 2021: € 120.0 million). As a result of the establishment of the new Intralogistics division, all companies from the former Services division and the subsidiaries HÖRMANN Logistik GmbH, Klatt Fördertechnik GmbH, HÖRMANN Logistik Polska Sp. z o.o. and HÖRMANN Logistik Systeme GmbH from the Engineering division were integrated into the new division. With sales revenue of € 15.1 million, excluding the aforementioned subsidiaries, the Engineering division is slightly below the first three quarters of the 2021 financial year (9M 2021: € 16.7 million, as-if). The new Intralogistics division generated revenue of € 49.2 million in the reporting period (9M 2021: € 39.6 million, as-if).

HÖRMANN Industries GmbH (corporate bond, WKN: A2TSCH) today published its financial results for the first six months of 2022. At € 298.5 million, the Group's revenue in the reporting period was on a par with the first half of 2021 (previous year: € 296.3 million). However, this figure includes around € 18 million in material price increases in the Automotive division that were passed on with no effect on earnings; accordingly, value-added sales in the first six months of 2022 were lower than in the previous year. The decline in sales was mainly due to the Automotive and Intralogistics divisions, which were impacted by the effects of the Ukraine conflict and the COVID-19 pandemic as well as the associated delivery bottlenecks and project delays in the first half of 2022.

In this issue of "mittendrin", we provide an insight into the diverse activities of the HÖRMANN Group with regard to "sustainability".

HÖRMANN Industries GmbH (corporate bond, WKN: A2TSCH) today published its financial results for the first three months of 2022. In the reporting period, the Group's sales decreased year-on-year from EUR 138.2 million to EUR 127.0 million. The decline in sales mainly resulted from the Automotive division, which was impacted in the first quarter of 2022 by the effects of the war in Ukraine as well as the COVID-19 pandemic and related supply shortages of electronic components. As a result of a lack of cable harnesses from Ukraine, the plants in Gustavsburg and Banovce, Slovakia, which focus on truck components, had to sharply reduce their production as customers of the HÖRMANN Group had to cease production. Overall, sales in the Automotive division fell by EUR 8.6 million compared with the same period of the previous year, from EUR 88.6 million to EUR 80.0 million. In contrast, the Communicatio division got off to a good start in the new 2022 financial year after a very good year in 2021 and achieved sales of EUR 35.0 million (previous year: EUR 34.1 million).

HÖRMANN Industries GmbH (corporate bond, WKN: A2TSCH) today published its 2021 annual financial statements. In the 2021 financial year, the HÖRMANN Group generated sales of EUR 589.8 million (previous year: EUR 521.5 million). The increase in sales was essentially attributable to the Automotive and Communication divisions, whereas the Engineering division fell short of the prior year levels, as expected. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) improved noticeably to EUR 45.3 million (previous year: EUR 25.5 million), while earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) also picked up to EUR 30.0 million (previous year: EUR 12.6 million). Adjusted for write-downs for impairment, EBIT stood at EUR 33.5 million. The HÖRMANN Group’s result thus was above the pre-crisis level in the reporting period, with the profit margin reaching the highest level in the company’s recent history.

The HÖRMANN Group has published a sustainability report for the first time. The voluntary preparation of this extensive report based on the international guidelines issued by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI standards) underlines the long-term focus of HÖRMANN Industries.
