CASH FLOW DEVELOPMENT

Cash Flow Operating Activities

Free Cash Flow




Comments:
-
- Effects on Cash Flow from Operating Activities:
-
-
- higher customer deposits & payables, but
-
- higher inventory in order to secure the production by build-up safety stock and due increased production capacity worldwide
-
- Investments done with an amount of € 9.6M
-
- mainly to increase production capacity
-
- investments into the ERP systems
-
- Strong improvement of Net Cash
-
- Reduction of external financial debts by scheduled repayments
-
- Financial headroom: € 90.9M (thereof undrawn syndicated loan of € 40M)
OUTLOOK 2022 AND BEYOND

- 2022 results strongly depend on timing of the resolution of the various supply chain bottlenecks
- Planned delivery dates and timing of revenue of some systems will move from the first to the second half of the year.
- Not every order planned for 2022 may be completed in 2022.
- If current supply bottlenecks mostly resolve by the end of the first half, we will be able to make up much of the delivery backlog during the second half of the year.
- We expect 2022 revenue to grow to € 270 300 million in 2022
- With that, we expect EBIT margin between 8.5% and 10.5%
- FCF expected between negative and positive mid-single-digit millions
- Due to supply chain challenges, our growth path shows incremental/ temporary delay, not fundamental slow-down (as shown by OE)
- Expect revenue catch up starting in H2 2022 and likely into 2023
- Expect further top- and bottom-line growth to at least € 400 million in 2025, with 15% EBIT margin (unchanged)
