Endor AG publishes key financial figures for the first quarter of 2023

Landshut, 5 May 2023 – Endor AG today published its report on the first quarter of 2023, according to which it achieved consolidated revenues of EUR 17.3 million, compared to EUR 46.5 million in the previous year. The revenues of the previous year were positively influenced in particular by the GT-DD products in connection with the SONY game launch "GT7". Consolidated revenue generated in the first quarter of 2023 was in line with planning.

"The first quarter of 2023 was in line with our planning and we were able to largely overcome the problem of product availability due to a shortage of chips, which had dominated in 2022, by the end of the quarter," said Thomas Jackermeier, CEO of Endor AG. "The simracing market continues to grow and virtual racing is becoming more popular. We are now returning to the original growth rate after last year's positive outlier due to the launch of the GT-DD software."

Endor AG achieved earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) of EUR -1.9 million in the reporting period (previous year: EUR 12.7 million). The operating result (EBIT) in the first quarter of 2023 was EUR -2.6 million, compared to EUR 12.1 million in the same quarter of the previous year. The EBIT margin (measured against consolidated sales) was -15% (previous year: 26%).

For the full year 2023, the Executive Board of Endor AG expects consolidated sales to be roughly at the previous year's level and an EBIT margin in the lower double-digit range. Endor AG is also expected to develop similarly, with its absolute amounts averaging around 10% below those of the Group.
