KION Group quantifies its outlook for 2020

Frankfurt/Main, 20 October 2020

The Executive Board of KION GROUP AG decided today to quantify the outlook for 2020. It currently anticipates that the key performance indicators for 2020 of the KION GROUP AG as a whole and of the Industrial Trucks & Services segment and the Supply Chain Solutions segment will be in the following ranges:

  Outlook 2020
from Outlook 2020
to Act FY 2019 KION Group   Order intake: €8,900 million €9,600 million €9,112 million Revenue: €7,850 million €8,450 million €8,807 million Adjusted EBIT: €465 million €545 million €851 million Free Cashflow: €50 million €150 million €568 million ROCE: 5.2 % 6.2 % 9.7 %     Outlook 2020
from Outlook 2020
to Act FY 2019 Segment Industrial Trucks & Services (*) Order intake: €5,500 million €5,800 million €6,330 million Revenue: €5,450 million €5,750 million €6,410 million Adjusted EBIT: €265 million €305 million €695 million     Outlook 2020
from Outlook 2020
to Act FY 2019 Segment Supply Chain Solutions (*) Order intake: €3,400 million €3,800 million €2,771 million Revenue: €2,400 million €2,700 million €2,379 million Adjusted EBIT: €235 million €275 million €228 million  

(*) The figures for the Industrial Trucks & Services and Supply Chain Solutions segments also include intragroup, cross-segment order intake, revenue and EBIT effects.

In view of the risks arising from the further course of the coronavirus pandemic, the assessment of the Group's business performance over the remainder of this year is still very uncertain. A further economic downturn in key sales markets would lead to KION Group's performance and financial results differing significantly from those in the outlook.

Explanations and reconciliations of key financial figures used can be found in KION GROUP AG's 2019 annual report (available at:
