/ Key word(s): Half Year Report/Share Buyback
PRESS RELEASE
Muehlhan AG publishes its results for the first half of 2023
Hamburg, July 28, 2023—Muehlhan AG (Open Market; ISIN DE000A0KD0F7; WKN A0KD0F) (the “company”) generated revenues of €5.8 million and EBIT of €-2.0 million in the first half of 2023. Consolidated income after taxes after the first six months amounted to €-1.7 million. Cash flow from operating activities is in positive territory at €1.7 million due to a special effect. A comparison with the prior-year results does not make sense due to the sale of numerous subsidiaries at the 2022 year-end. The results fall well short of expectations. The results can be traced back to unexpectedly lower business activity in the Middle East, and a heavier strain on Russian operations due to Russia’s war of aggression in Ukraine and sanctions imposed in connection with this. There were also substantial non-recurring expenses in connection with the settlement of the sale of key subsidiaries last year, the share buyback program that is currently underway and the provision set up for a legal dispute. In Russia, revenues of €3.5 million were achieved in the first half of 2023 as against €4.5 million in the same period of the previous year. Despite the difficulties, an EBIT break-even was achieved, compared to €0.3 million in the previous year. In the Middle East, revenues dropped significantly year-over-year from €3.4 million to €1.7 million. EBIT deteriorated from €-0.3 million to €-0.7 million due to the significant decline in revenues, project start-up costs and costs for the resumption of activities. For the 2023 financial year as a whole, the Executive Board and Supervisory Board expect to see revenues of between €10 million and €15 million and EBIT of €-2.0 million to €-2.5 million. Muehlhan AG launched a share buyback program on June 28, 2023. Up until September 6, 2023, shareholders of Muehlhan AG have the opportunity to sell their shares for €1.75 per share before the company then withdraws from the stock market. Shareholders who have sold their shares by August 2, 2023, will receive their money only a few days later. The buyback program has been well received so far. The company’s key performance indicators are shown in the following table:
