Ad-hoc announcement in compliance with § 15 WpHG

euromicron AG is adjusting its forecast for fiscal 2013. In the 3rd quarter of 2013, euromicron performed stably and, as a consequence, achieved high new orders as well as record order backlog of €145 million.

However, the usually above-average trend in the final quarter of 2013 has not materialized and instead there have been significant postponements in orders, with the result that sales and income will not reach the levels of the previous year.

euromicron expects sales of around €320 million in 2013, below the original corridor of approximately €350 million.

A key factor in this trend in the 4th quarter of 2013 is that the launch of projects, as well as ones already underway, are being postponed to the subsequent quarters. The related costs for providing capacities and material will impact anticipated income, as will additional project costs.
Allowing for these additional special burdens and the lack of contribution margins as a result of lower sales, euromicron expects an EBITDA margin of just under 5%, compared with the original target and forecast of around 8%, in its second year of core integration.
