Disclosure of an inside information acc. to Article 17 MAR of the Regulation (EU) No 596/2014, transmitted by EQS News - a service of EQS Group AG.
The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.
Alzchem Group AG is significantly raising its earnings forecast for the fiscal year 2023 despite a slightly lower sales expectation. Group EBITDA is expected to grow to approximately EUR 80 million (original forecast: up to EUR 70 million). Group sales are expected to be at or slightly below the previous year’s level of EUR 542.2 million; this is slightly below the most recent forecast.
The higher earnings forecast is based primarily on the very positive development of the high-margin specialty chemicals business. Particularly noteworthy in this respect are the products from the Human Nutrition (Creapure®) and Animal Nutrition (Creamino®) businesses, as well as the guanidine salts (nitroguanidine).
The forecasts for fiscal year 2023 made in the consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2022 and last specified in July 2023 are therefore adjusted overall as follows:
EBITDA margin* 11.3% Up to 12% Noticeably growing Inventories EUR 122.4 million Stable Slightly to significantly decreasing Inventory intensity
(previously inventory ratio) 22.6% Stable Slightly to significantly decreasing Equity ratio 34.5% Noticeably growing Significantly growing * No adjustments were made.
