KPS publishes results for the third quarter of financial year 2023/2024
In the third quarter of the financial year 2023/2024, KPS generated revenues of € 35.1 million (previous year: € 42.2 million) and EBITDA of € 5.2 million (previous year: € 1.4 million). The increase in new orders recorded in the third quarter only partially compensated for the revenue decline compared to the same period of the previous year due to the simultaneous completion of major projects. Recording a recovery phase in the third quarter of 2023/2024 KPS responded to the sales trend in the first half of the year with corresponding measures, which have already borne fruit in the third quarter of 2023/2024. Capacities were adjusted to project demand, which consequently led to a reduction in expenses in the single-digit million euro range for materials and personnel compared to the third quarter of the 2022/2023 financial year. The revaluation of purchase price allocations from company acquisitions led to the reversal of a provision with an income effect of € 2.6 million in the reporting period. KPS achieved earnings before taxes of € 3.1 million (previous year: € -1.0 million) and earnings after taxes of € 2.2 million (previous year: € -0.7 million). Adjustment of the forecast for the financial year 2023/2024 Part of the revenue in the third quarter of 2023/2024 was generated with projects that are in the final or mature phase. Demand for new projects has increased and new customers have been acquired, but the order volume is not sufficient to fully compensate for the major projects in the final phase. The Executive Board of KPS AG adjusted its original forecast for the 2023/2024 financial year on 23 July 2024. For the current business year 2023/2024, the Executive Board of KPS AG now assumes that Group revenue will be in a range between € 143 million and € 149 million compared to the original forecast. Group EBITDA is expected to amount to between € 5.4 million and € 5.7 million. Adjusted for extraordinary write-downs due to the insolvencies of KaDeWe and The Body Shop as well as restructuring expenses, the expected Group EBITDA would amount to between € 10.8 million and € 11.1 million.
