EQS-News: Aumann AG: Aumann reaches all-time highs in order intake, order backlog and liquidity in 2022 and expects further growth for revenue and earnings in 2023

Aumann AG ("Aumann", ISIN: DE000A2DAM03), a leading manufacturer of automated E-mobility production solutions, ended the 2022 financial year on record levels according to preliminary figures. Order intake was 24.8% higher than in the previous year and reached €295.3 million, the highest figure in the company's history. The clear growth driver was the E-mobility segment, whose order intake rose by as much as 36.3% to €230.5 million and marked a new record for the second year in a row.

Revenue followed Aumann's dynamic order development and increased by 33.6% to €215.3 million, with the E-mobility segment recording a 47.1% increase in revenue to €142.1 million. Despite the geopolitical conflicts and an economically challenging market environment, Aumann was able to significantly improve its EBITDA year-on-year to €8.7 million, which corresponds to an EBITDA margin of 4.1%. The company thus achieved its guidance set for the 2022 financial year.

Aumann thus closes the 2022 financial year with a record order backlog of €256.4 million, which corresponds to an increase of 45.0% compared to the previous year. The order backlog in the E-mobility segment even increased by 70.7% to €205.5 million.

Based on the excellent order backlog, management expects significant revenue growth to over €250 million in the 2023 financial year. At the same time, the stronger margins in the order backlog will increasingly materialise in the result, which will lead to a further improvement in the company's profitability in 2023. Against this background, an EBITDA margin of 6 to 7 % is expected.

The automotive industry is consistently expanding its production capacities in the field of electromobility and the demand for automated production solutions "Made by Aumann" continues unabated. A liquidity position that jumped significantly to € 120.6 million at the end of the year and an equity ratio of 60.5 % further strengthen Aumann's growth prospects.
