2015-11-10 09:25Würzburg, 10.11.2015 – In the third quarter of 2015 the Koenig & Bauer Group (KBA) achieved the turnaround in earnings announced with continued good order intake. After nine months EBT came to +€2.1m and the group posted a net profit of €2.4m. In the company’s current interim report the management board affirmed its outlook for 2015 again with annual group revenue of over €1bn expected and a planned EBT margin of up to 2%. At the end of September group order intake of €859.6m was up 28.5% and order backlog of €597.3m was up 36.6% year-on-year although the economic climate for the engineering industry has cooled in China and other key threshold countries. The group’s largest segment, sheetfed offset, was able to compensate for the somewhat slower business with China with more orders from other regions, especially the USA and Japan. Compared to 2014 all business divisions posted a double-digit rise in the volume of new orders. In spite of some postponed deliveries KBA was able to increase its quarterly revenue over the summer to €252.8m q-o-q. Nevertheless, at €679.7m revenue for the full nine months was 14.2% down on the prior-year figure and clearly proportionally behind the annual target. The especially high-revenue fourth quarter of 2015 will contribute more strongly to achieving the press manufacturer’s sales and earnings targets with greater earnings contributions and a higher margin product mix.
