DGAP-Ad-hoc: Voltabox AG / Key word(s): Profit Warning Voltabox Customers Continue to Dispose Cautious - Management Board Adjusts Forecast Accordingly Delbrück, Germany, December 7, 2020 - Voltabox AG [ISIN DE000A2E4LE9] does not expect, on the basis of the current fourth quarter call-offs, to achieve its business objectives for the fiscal year 2020 due to the slower recovery of the customers' end markets in the fourth quarter. This is mainly due to the postponement by several customers of orders originally planned for the current quarter into the coming year given the difficulties that have again arisen in planning during the coronavirus pandemic. Orders that had been announced have also failed to materialize for the same reason. Thus, the company is lowering its forecast for revenue for the current fiscal year to € 17 million, having previously expected to reach the lower end of the range from € 25 to 45 million. EBITDA margin is expected to be at -100 percent after the most recent -60 percent, while absolute EBITDA is expected to be only slightly below previous expectations at around € -17 million. Free cash flow is expected to remain slightly negative, driven in particular by the reduced investments in the current situation.
