Salzbergen, Germany, November 15, 2022. H&R GmbH & Co. KGaA (short: H&R KGaA; ISIN DE000A2E4T77) has confirmed its preliminary sales and earnings figures for the third quarter of 2022: From July to September 2022, the company achieved an operating result (EBITDA - consolidated earnings before income taxes, other financial income and expenses as well as amortization, depreciation and impairment losses and write-ups on intangible assets and property, plant and equipment) of EUR 30.5 million (same period of the previous year: EUR 36.8 million). After a moderate start to the year and a very good performance in the middle, the third quarter delivered the second highest contribution to earnings this year. EBIT closed at EUR 17.2 million, down from last year's EUR 24.1 million. Earnings before taxes (EBT) for Q3-2022 were EUR 15.3 million (Q3-2021: EUR 22.6 million), and the company closed at EUR 10.4 million for consolidated net income attributable to shareholders (Q3-2021: EUR 16.0 million). Sales in the third quarter of the current fiscal year increased to EUR 418.7 million (Q3-2021: EUR 319.7 million), mainly due to higher raw material costs compared to the previous year.

Overview of key figures:

Following the increase in its guidance two weeks ago, the company currently continues to expect to achieve the target of up to EUR 120.0 million.
