Berentzen-Gruppe Aktiengesellschaft: Preliminary operating results 2024

Berentzen-Gruppe Aktiengesellschaft, which is listed on the Regulated Market (General Standard) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (ISIN: DE0005201602), expects, based on preliminary operating results for the 2024 financial year available today, a normalised consolidated operating profit (consolidated EBIT) adjusted for non-recurring items in the amount of EUR 10.6 million (2023: EUR 7.7 million) and a normalised consolidated operating profit before depreciation and amortisation (consolidated EBITDA) of EUR 19.3 million (2023: EUR 16.0 million). Consolidated revenues are expected to amount to EUR 181.9 million (2023: EUR 185.7 million).

Consolidated revenues will therefore be slightly below the updated forecast range for the 2024 financial year (EUR 185.0 to 195.0 million) from August 1, 2024. The main reason for the development of the consolidated revenues is the overall decline in sales volumes compared to the expectations of the forecast updated on August 1, 2024.

By contrast, the aforementioned earnings figures for consolidated EBIT and consolidated EBITDA are each expected to be in the upper half of the forecast ranges updated on August 1, 2024 (consolidated EBIT: EUR 9.0 to 11.0 million; consolidated EBITDA: EUR 18.0 to 20.0 million). The significant increase in consolidated EBIT – and, consequently, in consolidated EBITDA – compared to the 2023 financial year is the result of a significantly improved consolidated gross profit, in particular due to improved product margins.

The preliminary operating results of Berentzen-Gruppe Aktiengesellschaft are subject to verification by the independent auditor and approval by the Supervisory Board. The final operating results and further information about the 2024 financial year and the 2025 forecast will be published according to plan on March 27, 2025 with the 2024 Annual Report.
