- › The FY2022 forecast assumes an fx rate of 1.25 US\$/€ and flat LVP development in FY2022 y/y.

- › Stabilus confirms the FY2022 forecast which was published in November 2021. Price negotiations with customers are beginning to bear fruit. Due to semiconductor supply issues at several OEMs, higher inflation of material and labor costs, the Ukraine war, as well as the COVID-19 lockdowns in China, the uncertainty remains high.
- › We continue to pursue our long-term strategy, focusing on sustainable, profitable growth, globalization, excellence, innovation as well as team spirit (One Stabilus). Based on the current LVP and GDP assumptions, we strive for organic revenue CAGR 2020-2025 of 6% and an adj. EBIT margin of 15%.
