Q3: EXPECTED REDUCED CALL-OFFS MATERIALIZED & FIRST-TIME CONSOLIDATION OF DESTACO

Current market environment: Decline in call-offs from several OEMs in Q3 FY24 materialized as forecasted, particularly in the electric car segment.
Current customer demand confirms stabilized volume developments in Q4 FY24.
Organic revenue growth in APAC¹ (+3.2% y/y) while organic development in EMEA (-5.1% y/y) and Americas (-3.0% y/y) is impacted by lower call-off quantities in the Automotive and Commercial Vehicle markets.
Revenue increase in Q3 FY24, +14.4% y/y, due to the first-time consolidation of DESTACO results.
In Q3 FY24, DESTACO generated €48.8m revenue with 19.9% EBIT margin.
DESTACO integration on track. Refinancing of the bridge facility in preparation. Solid project pipeline for advanced indexing conveyors.

CHALLENGING MARKET ENVIRONMENT IN H2 FY2024
COST FLEXIBILIZATION IN PLACE TO COUNTERBALANCE

We confirm our STAR 2030 goals - in spite of challenging environment.
Substantial volume reductions in H2 FY2024 are impacting fixed cost coverage and are driving lower profitability which was reflected in the guidance adjustment released on June 11, 2024.
Fixed cost flexibilization actions in all plants and functions in place to counterbalance these challenges.
We will overcome current headwinds, which are to a large extent caused by negative external factors, in the next quarters.
The market environment led to significant extraordinary expenses in and continues to do until today. Inflation was severe. Material and energy costs increased dramatically.
Combined, these external factors impacted our profitability significantly and could only be partially recovered from our customers. These effects are by far the major reasons for the reduction in profitability in the years between FY2022 and FY2024.
OUR COUNTERMEASURES
STABILUS
MITIGATING NEGATIVE EXTERNAL FACTORS

We will overcome the external headwinds in the coming quarters.
Countermeasures in place:
- Flexibilization of production in all impacted plants
- Efficiency programs in all plants and functions
- Continued automation to counterbalance labor cost inflation
- Continue to drive inflation recovery measures with suppliers and customers
We will offset the higher labor cost inflation with productivity gains and continued automation and raw material cost inflation through compensation from our customers in the next quarters. Cost flexibilization and efficiency programs as well as negotiations with customers and suppliers are ongoing.
