SMT Scharf AG reports significant revenue and earnings growth in 2022
Hamm, March 23, 2023 – SMT Scharf AG (WKN 575198, ISIN DE000A3DRAE2), one of the world’s leading suppliers of customised transport solutions and logistics systems for underground mining, achieved significant year-on-year revenue and earnings growth in the 2022 fiscal year, on the basis of preliminary results, and met its guidance. Consolidated revenue increased to EUR 93.7 million in 2022, thereby reaching the guidance level of more than EUR 92.0 million (2021: EUR 85.9 million). This represents significant year-on-year revenue growth of 9.1 %. In addition, SMT Scharf achieved a consolidated operating profit (EBIT) of EUR 14.3 million in 2022 fiscal year, on the basis of preliminary results (2021: EUR 11.2 million). This marked year-on-year earnings growth of 27.7 % enabled SMT Scharf to meet its most recent EBIT guidance for 2022 of more than EUR 14.0 million. Hans Joachim Theiss, CEO of SMT Scharf AG, comments: “In 2022, SMT Scharf’s business performed significantly better than originally expected, despite the great uncertainty and volatility in the market environment. Our strategic initiatives enabled us to expand our business in the international core markets. We continuously made great efforts to offset the constraints in international supply chains. In addition to the release of a provision, both strong demand in the new equipment business as well as growth in the traditionally high-margin after-sales business made a considerable contribution to the significant earnings growth we achieved.” The complete report for the 2022 fiscal year will be published on April 11, 2023, in the Investor Relations area of www.smtscharf.com.
