Corrections to the Consolidated Financial Statements 2017

  • Voltabox AG made adjustments from the previous year in the 2018 consolidated financial statements, which mainly relate to the profit and loss transfer agreement with the parent company paragon GmbH & Co. KGaA which was formerly reported as income within the statement of comprehensive income. The presentation is adjusted in such a way that the income is not a part of the statement of comprehensive income but rather is transferred directly to equity.
  • Furthermore, the one-off costs of the IPO are recorded under other operating expenses, which were previously offset against the capital reserve, and currency translation effects from the loan of paragon GmbH & Co. KGaA to the Voltabox of Texas are treated affecting net income retroactively until the date of acquisition by Voltabox AG.
  • The resulting corrections for fiscal year 2017 are explained in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2018.

Installation of Energy by End Markets

Market Dynamics

  • Overall usage of batteries will increase due to E-mobility mega trend
  • Ongoing substitution of lead acid batteries resp. diesel generators by lithium-ion batteries in occupied submarkets
  • 12% global market growth expected for battery systems in current Voltabox end markets in 2019
  • Intralogistics submarket expected to show fastest adoption of Li-Ion technology due to TCO advantages
  • Market penetration of Li-Ion expected to exceed 50% of new sales by 2023 in intralogistics
