GEA publishes figures for the third quarter

29 Oct 2018

After a very good previous quarter, GEA also closed the third quarter of 2018 on a positive note. GEA set new third quarter records for both order intake and revenue. The operating EBITDA margin was also up year-on-year, enabling GEA to nearly reverse the deficit from a weak first quarter.

Nevertheless, earnings development, in particular in the customer industry Dairy Processing, falls short of the company’s own expectations. In addition, growing economic imponderables, a rising number of trade constraints, and detrimental product mix effects are in the offing. As early as mid-October, GEA raised its revenue expectations for the 2018 financial year, while slightly reducing its forecasts for operating EBITDA margin and cash flow driver margin.

“Although demand for our innovative products and solutions continues to grow at a highly gratifying rate, we expect the fourth quarter of the year to be challenging,” said Jürg Oleas, CEO of GEA. “For that reason, we are looking at a group revenue of approximately EUR 4.8 billion and an operating EBITDA of around EUR 540 million for 2018 as a whole, and this would correspond to a margin of around 11.3 percent.”
