The reconciliation items include costs for corporate functions and their allocation within the Group.
In the opinion of the Management Board, the forecast assumptions as set out in Annual Report 2023 remain unchanged. Based on this, RENK continues to expect consolidated revenue of between € 1,000 million and € 1,100 million and an adjusted EBIT margin of between 16% and 18% for fiscal year 2024. This leads to the expectation of being able to achieve an adjusted EBIT of between € 160 million and € 190 million.
Recordings of the conference calls for journalists, analysts and investors will be made available afterwards. You can download the financial publications from the Internet at URL. This document contains statements that relate to our future business development and future financial performance as well as to future events or developments concerning RENK Group AG and may constitute forward-looking statements. These statements can be identified by words such as "expect," "want," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "believe," "seek," "estimate," "will," and "predict" or similar terms. We may also make forward-looking statements in other reports, prospectuses, presentations, materials sent to shareholders and press releases. In addition, from time to time our representatives may make oral forward-looking statements.
Such statements are based on current expectations and certain assumptions made by the management of RENK Group AG, many of which are beyond the control of RENK Group AG. They are therefore subject to a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors that are described in publications – in particular in the section entitled Report on expected developments with their significant opportunities and risks in the Annual Report and in the Half-Year Financial Report, which should be read together with the Annual Report – but are not limited to those described.
If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, force majeure events such as pandemics occur, or it turns out that the underlying expectations, including future events, do not occur or occur later or assumptions have not been fulfilled, the actual results, performance and successes of RENK Group AG (both negative and positive) may differ significantly from those results that were expressly or implicitly stated in the forward-looking statement. RENK Group AG assumes no obligation and does not intend to update these forward-looking statements or to correct them if developments differ from those expected. This document contains supplementary financial measures – not precisely defined in relevant accounting frameworks – which are or may be what are known as alternative performance measures. When assessing the net assets, financial position and results of operations of RENK Group AG, these supplementary financial measures should not be used in isolation or as an alternative to the financial indicators presented in the consolidated financial statements and determined in accordance with the relevant accounting framework. Other companies that present or report alternative performance measures with similar titles may calculate them differently. Due to rounding, individual numbers in this and other reports may not add up exactly to the totals shown and percentages presented may not precisely reflect the absolute valuesto which they refer. This document is a quarterly statement pursuant to Section 53 of the Stock Exchange Rules of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.
On May 15, 2024 from 2:00 p.m. CET, the conference call for analysts and investors on the financial figures for the first quarter of fiscal year 2024 will be broadcast on the Internet. It is available on our Investor Relations website: https://ir.renk.com/publications/.
