Stable 9-month growth with normalisation in the third quarter
 Feldkirchen (Munich), 18. October 2021 – The STEICO Group (ISIN DE000A0LR936) published its interim report on Q3 2021 today. 

9-month development

With a nine-month increase of 20.9% to € 348.9 million in sales, the STEICO Group was able to continue its growth despite the gloomy economic outlook. The 9-month EBITDA was € 75.6 million (+15.5%), the EBIT was € 57.5 million (+14.7%). The margins were also kept pleasingly stable. The 9-month EBITDA margin is 21.1%, the EBIT margin is 16.0%.

Following successful capacity expansions and predominantly short-term availability of goods, ordering behaviour normalised in many cases in the third quarter. Q3 turnover increased by 9.4% to € 111.4 million. EBITDA amounted to € 25.1 million in the third quarter and was thus 4.3% above the previous year. EBIT grew by 0.2% to € 19.0 million. The EBIT margin in the third quarter is 16.4%.

EBT in the third quarter was €18.6 million, which represents a decrease of 0.6% (Q3 2021: €18.7 million).

Outlook

As before, the majority of companies in the construction industry have a clear order backlog, which is having a stabilising effect. At the same time, management expects a significant shift in activity towards the refurbishment sector. However, the normalisation of ordering behaviour is likely to slightly weaken the growth dynamic in the fourth quarter as well. Therefore, the management expects a growth in turnover of around 18% for the full year. The EBIT margin is still expected to be in a range between 13% and 15% (compared to total operating revenue).
