Brockhaus Technologies AG publishes forecast for fiscal year 2023

Frankfurt am Main, March 28, 2023.

Brockhaus Technologies AG (BKHT, ISIN: DE000A2GSU42, "Brockhaus Technologies") expects revenue (without adjustments for PPA effects) between €165 million and €175 million for the fiscal year 2023. This corresponds to a growth between 16% and 23% compared to revenue of fiscal year 2022. We plan with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 35% which corresponds to a range of €57.8 million to €61.3 million.

In fiscal year 2022, Brockhaus Technologies increased revenue before PPA from continuing operations (i.e. without the subsidiary Palas, which was sold in November 2022) by +38% to €145 million (2021: €105 million) with an adjusted EBITDA of €50 million (2021: €41 million) and an adjusted EBIT of €47 million (2021: €39 million). This corresponds to an adjusted EBITDA margin of 34.4% (2021: 38.8%) and an adjusted EBIT margin of 32.2% (2021: 36.8%). Therefore, the 2022 forecast of €130 million - €135 million revenue before PPA and an adjusted EBITDA of €45 million - €47 million was outperformed significantly. Free cash flow before taxes was €40 million (previous year: €11 million).

Before adjustments, revenue amounted to €143 million (+44% compared to 2021; €99 million) with an EBITDA of €47 million (+144% compared to 2021; €19 million) and an EBIT of €29 million (+899% compared 2021; €3 million). EBIT was particularly impacted by PPA amortizations of €14 million (2021: €14 million).

In order to avoid deviations between the Group’s central control indicators and IFRS, Brockhaus Technologies will no longer adjust revenue for PPA effects in the future.
