Dürr AG: Earnings target for 2024 revised, forecast for 2023 confirmed

Dürr AG – WKN 556520 / ISIN DE0005565204

Bietigheim-Bissingen, October 19, 2023 — Based on the current assessment by the Board of Management, the Dürr Group will not achieve its target of an 8% EBIT margin before extraordinary effects in 2024. The reason for this is the strong decline in order intake at HOMAG (Jan. to Sept. 2023: -32%) due to the continued downturn in the market for woodworking machinery. The cyclical order decline has recently been accompanied by lower gross margins in new business and is likely to lead to a drop in sales of around 15% in 2024, along with capacity underutilization. The Group’s new EBIT margin target for 2024 is 4.5 to 6.0% before extraordinary effects, with sales growth of 5 to 10%. The achievement of the 8% target margin previously forecast for 2024 requires business at HOMAG to recover and is expected for 2026 at the earliest. The forecast for the EBIT margin before extraordinary effects for 2023 (6.0 to 7.0%) is confirmed.

Additional measures are currently being prepared for HOMAG to make sure that the 2024 EBIT margin before extraordinary effects will not drop below 2%. In addition to the increased use of flexible working time instruments, management is also planning to reduce capacity at HOMAG. Talks with the employee representatives will be held over the coming weeks. Concrete information will be announced soon.

The measures are intended to improve HOMAG’s earnings resilience, adjust the cost structure to the lower volume and the cyclicality of the business, and support future profitable growth. From today’s perspective, demand is expected to pick up from the end of 2024. Based on the measures, the Board of Management still sees an EBIT margin potential for HOMAG of 10% in a stable market environment.

The other divisions are expected to continue their positive margin development in the coming quarters. However, it will not be possible to fully compensate for HOMAG’s decline in earnings expected for 2024.

The Dürr Group will publish the full figures for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2023 on November 9, 2023.
