H1 2023 at a glance

Acquisition of US Storage Solutions Group included in the consolidated financial statements for the first time

Incoming orders up by 9% to €2,684 million

Revenue of €2,658 million, up 21% compared to the previous year

Positive EBIT growth at €236 million and EBIT return on sales of 8.9%

Free cash flow of €−182 million affected by €307 million purchase price payment for Storage Solutions; without the acquisition, the operating business would have generated a positive free cash flow

Forecast for 2023 confirmed

Incoming orders showed solid growth despite difficult market conditions

Incoming orders of €89 million from the Storage Solutions Group included from 15 March 2023

Very positive revenue growth continues

Major driver: new business including Storage Solutions (€69 million)

Established crisis management for procurement processes helps safeguard production

Positive earnings performance

  • Storage Solutions contribution to operating result: €12 million
  • Overall, EBIT negatively affected by acquisition to the amount of €7 million due to transaction-related costs (€8 million), effects of purchase price allocation (€5 million) and variable remuneration components (€6 million)

R&D capitalisation ratio significantly above the previous year

Increase due to partial instalment for the new plant in Chomutov

1) Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets not including capitalised development expenditure and right-of-use assets

  • Significant rise in capitalisation ratio as a result of the increase in important product development work
  • R&D workforce increases to an average of 980 FTE due to continued implementation of Strategy 2025+ (previous year: 810)

Free cash flow positively influenced by development in working capital

  • the significantly lower increase in inventories to secure delivery capability and the lower inventory of finished goods (cash flow relief of €235 million)
  • price payment for Storage Solutions
  • Solutions: positive free cash flow from operating business

ROCE boosted by significantly higher EBIT with disproportionately low increase in capital employed

Despite a significant revenue increase, targeted working capital management leads to comparatively stable working capital

1) EBIT (annualised) for the Intralogistics segment in % of the segment's average capital employed

Number of employees continues to increase due to strategy implementation

Addition primarily due to increased sales staff and Storage Solutions Group (with 176 employees)

Additional 493 temporary workers in the Group (31/12/2022: 681)

1) Employees, including trainees and apprentices, excluding temporary workers
