Berentzen-Gruppe Aktiengesellschaft: Interim Report 9M 2024 / Preliminary business figures as of September 30, 2024

Berentzen-Gruppe Aktiengesellschaft, which is listed on the Regulated Market (General Standard) of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (ISIN: DE0005201602), expects, based on preliminary business figures for the first three quarters of the 2024 financial year available today, a normalised consolidated operating profit (consolidated EBIT) of EUR 7.6 million (9M 2023: EUR 5.0 million) and a normalised consolidated operating profit before depreciation and amortisation (consolidated EBITDA) of EUR 14.1 million (9M 2023: EUR 11.2 million). Consolidated revenues are expected to amount to EUR 133.5 million (9M 2023: EUR 134.6 million).

The significant increases in the key consolidated earnings figures of consolidated EBIT and consolidated EBITDA, despite the slight decline in consolidated revenues, resulted in particular from a significant improvement in consolidated gross profit.

The forecast for the 2024 financial year, updated on August 1, 2024 and confirmed with the publication of the Group's half-yearly financial report on August 14, 2024, remains unchanged. Accordingly, the Berentzen Group expects a consolidated operating profit (consolidated EBIT) in the range of EUR 9.0 to 11.0 million (originally: EUR 8.0 to 10.0 million; 2023: EUR 7.7 million ) and a consolidated operating profit before depreciation and amortisation (consolidated EBITDA) of between EUR 18.0 and 20.0 million (originally: EUR 17.2 to 19.2 million; 2023: EUR 16.0 million). Consolidated revenues are expected to be in the range of EUR 185.0 to 195.0 million (originally: EUR 190.0 to 200.0 million; 2023: EUR 185.7 million).

The preliminary business figures for the first three quarters of the 2024 financial year of Berentzen-Gruppe Aktiengesellschaft are subject to review by the Supervisory Board's Finance and Audit Committee. The final business figures and further information on the first three quarters of the 2024 financial year will be published as scheduled on October 23, 2024 with the Interim Report 9M 2024.
