Klöckner & Co SE: Adjustment of full-year 2023 guidance

30-Oct-2023 / 18:44 CET/CEST
Disclosure of an inside information acc. to Article 17 MAR of the Regulation (EU) No 596/2014, transmitted by EQS News - a service of EQS Group AG.
The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.


Klöckner & Co SE achieved an operating income (EBITDA) before material special effects of €41 million in the third quarter 2023, which is at the lower end of the forecast range of €40-80 million, but considerably above the result of the prior-year quarter (Q3 2022: €16 million). The result was driven by the continued positive development in North America and Switzerland.

However, due to the ongoing challenging macroeconomic environment, especially in Europe, contrary to the previous forecast of €220-280 million, EBITDA before material special effects of €170-200 million is now anticipated for the full year 2023. To counteract this in Europe, Klöckner & Co SE has initiated an efficiency program with a planned reduction in the number of employees in the European distribution business by 10% with implementation starting in the fourth quarter of 2023. The aim is to achieve a recurring annual improvement in operating income (EBITDA) before material special effects by around €25 million by as early as 2024. A strong and significantly positive cash flow from operating activities is still expected for the full year 2023.

The additional figures for the third quarter 2023 will be announced tomorrow, on October 31, 2023.
