Hamburg, 7 May 2024


Incoming orders stable in comparison with previous year at €1,363 million, despite challenging market conditions

Revenue slightly down against previous year at €1,274 million

As expected, EBIT and EBIT ROS below previous year at €101.5 million and 8.0 per cent.

Free cash flow is strong at €159 million

Forecast for 2024 remains unchanged

Decline in revenue from new business almost fully offset by growth in after-sales services and positive developments in the financial services business

Measures to improve earnings showing positive results, however they could not fully offset the increased costs from tariff effects and the increase in personnel largely carried out in the previous year
In the previous year, EBT also benefited from a positive effect from the currency hedge for the purchase price payments for Storage Solutions (mid-single-digit million Euro amount)

The explanations in this presentation are partially forward-looking statements that are based on the company management's current expectations, assumptions and assessments for future developments. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainty that are largely beyond the company's control. This includes changes in the overall economic situation, such as impacts from geopolitical conflicts, natural catastrophes, pandemics and similar force majeure events, debt issues, within the intralogistics sector, in materials supply, the availability and price development of energy and raw materials, demand in important markets, developments in competition and regulatory frameworks and regulations, exchange and interest rates and the outcome of pending or future legal proceedings. Should these or other uncertainties or unknown factors apply or the assumptions on which these statements are based proved false, actual results may deviate significantly from the results stated or implied. No responsibility is therefore taken for forwardlooking statements. Without prejudice to existing capital market obligations, there is no intention to accept any obligation to update forward-looking statements.
