Group-wide sales for the full year of 2022 increased by 41.7% and achieved EUR 276.1m (vs. EUR 194.8m for 2021). Also, the export rate continued to rise to 55.5% (vs. 50.5% for 2021) because of an ongoing focus on internationalization.

This resulted in an EBIT margin for 2022 of 9.8% (vs. 6.5% for 2021). Order entry in Q4/2022 recorded EUR 65.1m (vs. EUR 54.7m in Q4/2021) leading to EUR 301.8m for the full fiscal year of 2022, surpassing previous year’s EUR 233.8m by 29.1%.

The executive board and the supervisory board intend to propose to the AGM a dividend pay-out for the fiscal year of 2022 of EUR 2.50 per no-par value share.

Outlook

Especially within the first half of 2023, the world economy will continue to suffer from high inflation as well as interest rate hikes by central banks. Inflation is supposed to gradually flatten and economic growth to accelerate around the mid-year mark. Therefore, the executive board believes in overall attractive business opportunities for DATA MODUL for the fiscal year of 2023.
