In the third quarter of 2016, the mutares Group (ISIN: DE000A0SMSH2) generated revenues of EUR 159.3m and operating earnings (EBITDA) of EUR 4.2m. The management expects dynamic M&A activities in the coming three months.

In Q3 2016, the mutares Group kept revenues almost stable at EUR 159.3m (Q3 2015: EUR 163.7m) despite of the deconsolidation of significant exits.
