Knorr-Bremse Publishes Preliminary Financial Figures for the Second Quarter of 2024 and Raises Guidance for 2024

 

Munich, July 29, 2024

Knorr-Bremse AG is expecting the following preliminary financial figures for the Group for the April through June 2024 reporting period (Q2/24):

  • Revenues of approximately €2.01 billion (consensus: €1.99 billion)
  • Order intake of approximately €2.13 billion (consensus: €1.97 billion)
  • Operating EBIT of approximately €252 million (consensus: €243 million)
  • Operating EBIT margin of approximately 12.5% (consensus: 12.2%)
  • Net income of €144 million due to negative non-cash non-recurring effects (consensus: €156 million) and consequently earnings per share of €0.90 (consensus: €0.97)
  • Preliminary free cash flow of approximately €158 million (Q2/23: €34 million)

Some of the preliminary key financial figures for Q2/24 exceed analyst expectations as summarized in the most recent Vara Research consensus dated July 23, 2024 for Q2/2024 and confirm the overall strong business performance in the second quarter.

Based on the strong business performance in the second quarter of 2024 and the developments expected for the second half of 2024, the Executive Board is raising the guidance for the operating EBIT margin for fiscal year 2024:

Knorr-Bremse continues to expect revenues of between €7,700 million and €8,000 million, an operating EBIT margin of now between 11.5% and 13.0% (previously 11.5% to 12.5%) and an unchanged free cash flow of between €550 million and €650 million. This guidance does not take into account the acquisition of the rail signalling technology business of Alstom in North America, which has yet to be completed.

The complete half-year and Q2 report for 2024 will be published as planned on August 8th, 2024.
