Hamburg, April 3, 2020-Muehlhan AG (Open Market; ISIN DE000A0KD0F7) once again satisfied the majority of its internal targets in 2019 and even exceeded them in some cases. Revenues rose by 10.3% to €295.3 million. EBIT went up by 21.3% from €10.2 million to €12.4 million and the EBIT margin improved accordingly from 3.8% to 4.2%. Consolidated income increased by 13.2% to €6.3 million, compared with €5.5 million in the previous year. After deducting minority interests, income of €6.3 million is attributable to Muehlhan's shareholders; this represents an increase of 26.4%. However, cash flow from operating activities was merely satisfactory at €10.9 million.

A geographic review shows that revenues grew in almost all regions in 2019 compared to the previous year. Revenues increased significantly by 10% to €233.3 million in Europe. EBIT rose despite the recognition of a contingent loss provision of €10.5 million to €10.8 million. In the Middle East, revenues remained constant at €22.9 million, and EBIT fell slightly from €1.9 million to €1.7 million. In North America, the business posted revenues of €24.4 million, an increase of €2.3 million over the previous year. EBIT increased almost twofold from €1.8 million to €3.5 million for project-related reasons. In the Rest of the World, oil and gas projects generated €14.8 million in revenues (previous year: €10.8 million) and EBIT of €1.6 million (previous year: €1.2 million).

In the Ship business segment, revenues saw a significant increase of €15.1 million to €69.4 million. There was an above-average increase in EBIT of €3.5 million to €7.6 million for project-related reasons. The Oil & Gas segment posted revenues of €78.3 million, down by €5.2 million due to low oil prices and a correspondingly difficult market environment. EBIT increased from €5.2 million to €6.1 million for project-related reasons. In the Renewables business segment, revenues rose by €12.0 million to €45.5 million. In contrast, EBIT fell by €4.7 million to €-1.0 million. The main reason for this is project losses due to delays in the construction of a production facility on Germany's North Sea coast. The Industry/Infrastructure business posted an increase in revenues of €5.6 million to €101.9 million. EBIT rose significantly by €1.3 million to €3.8 million.

With the Supervisory Board's approval, the Executive Board will propose to the Annual General Meeting that no dividend be distributed for financial year 2019 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the effects of which have yet to be determined.

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, revenues were predicted to remain constant in 2020, and EBIT was set to increase slightly. The current conditions make it impossible to provide a substantiated forecast for the 2020 financial year, however.

For additional information on the financial year 2019 and details on the outlook for 2020, please consult the Muehlhan Annual Report published on April 3, 2020.
