Outlook 2021

Outlook 2021: Revenue and earnings growth
March 31, 2021
Guidance
Growth of revenue to around EUR 1.8 billion (2020: EUR 1.7 billion)
Significant increase of operating EBIT to around EUR 65 million (2020: EUR -11.7 million)
New Guidance October 6, 2021
Growth of revenue to around EUR 1.8 billion (2020: EUR 1.7 billion)
Operating EBIT between EUR 17 and 22 million (2020: EUR -11.7 million)*
*This outlook is based on the assumption that the global economy and the political environment will develop in a stable manner and that there will be no further plant closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021. We also assume that the global shortage of semiconductor components and an increase in raw material prices will continue to affect our business in the fourth quarter of the current year. Furthermore, we are aware that the visibility of how the supply situation will actually develop is limited at the moment.
Changes in the earnings guidance for 2021
Profitability is significantly influenced by volatile automotive market and material cost development
This outlook is based on the following assumptions:
- Commercial Vehicles with over-proportional growth can only partially compensate the decline of the Automotive business
- Volatile customer call-offs and down-weeks due to semiconductor shortages continue to lead to underutilized production capacities
- Exceptional material and logistics cost increases as well as labor-market development in North America strongly impacting earnings
Measures for 2021 going forward
- P2P turnaround program in the Americas
- Footprint optimization measures are being reviewed and adjusted if necessary
- Enhanced customer claim management re: material impact and underutilization
- Strategic (re-) orientation of GRAMMER
Strategy to recover and grow

- Creating a blueprint for 'Seat production 4.0'
- Turning GRAMMER into the world's most advanced manufacturer of commercial vehicle seats
- Establishing a lead plant, from which all GRAMMER locations worldwide will benefit
