HOMAG Group AG - SIN: 529720 / ISIN: DE0005297204

Schopfloch, March 30, 2020. The HOMAG Group AG will probably not be able to achieve the results previously forecasted for the financial year 2020 due to the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic. Owing to the immense uncertainty with regard to the duration and consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, at this time the Board of Management cannot provide a reliable sales and earnings forecast for the current year. For this reason, its guidance for 2020 has been suspended.
