Key figures (preliminary and unaudited) - continuing operations
2 net sales plus changes in inventories and own work capitalized Zurich, February 4, 2022 - In the 2021 financial year Bystronic achieved strong growth, increasing order intake by 51.2% to CHF 1.2 billion and net sales by 17.2% to CHF 939.3 million. The EMEA, Americas, and APAC regions as well as the service business continued to develop favorably also in the second half of the year, while the momentum in China slowed down. In the second half-year the situation on procurement markets deteriorated. This led to pandemic-related increases in supply chain costs, especially for components and shipping. Thanks to its strong regional presence, Bystronic was nevertheless able to successfully ensure deliveries and installations at the customers' premises. As part of reassessments, Bystronic also recognized provisions totaling CHF 6 million. For the full year, Bystronic expects an operating result (EBIT) of CHF 70 million. Alex Waser, CEO of Bystronic, says: "Our order intake and sales development clearly demonstrate that our product and service portfolio is consistently aligned with the needs of our customers. With our focus on innovation and thanks to the investments in our service business, we are confident that we will continue to grow in 2022 and increase profitability as the global supply chain situation eases." Bystronic will publish its full Annual Report on March 15, 2022. Appendix With the sale of FoamPartner as part of the Chemical Specialities business unit at the end of March 2021 and the Mammut business unit on June 30, 2021, Bystronic has successfully completed its transformation. FoamPartner contributed CHF 76.3 million in the first quarter of 2021 and Mammut CHF 107.3 million in the first half-year 2021. Net sales (preliminary and unaudited)
