Schweizer Electronic Lowers 2024 Financial Forecast Amid Challenging Market Conditions
November 6, 2024 | Schweizer Electronic AGEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Based on the preliminary financial results for the first nine months of 2024 of the SCHWEIZER Group, the Executive Board has adjusted the forecast for the 2024 financial year.
After a revenue growth of +7.8 percent in the first nine months of 2024, the Executive Board confirms its revenue forecast at the lower end of the range of 140 to 150 million EUR.
The current difficult economic situation is leading to underutilization of PCB manufacturers in Europe and Asia. As a result, the price pressure on PCB products continues to increase. The effectiveness of already initiated cost adjustment measures at the plant in Schramberg (Germany) has been somewhat delayed by various cost retentions, so they will not be fully effective in the fourth quarter. Consequently, the Executive Board expects EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) to be between EUR 0 and 2 million (previous forecast: EUR 2 to 5 million) and an equity ratio between 15 and 20 percent (previous forecast: 20 to 25 percent).
Considering the ongoing challenges, the Executive Board will continue to advance the program for improving earnings to address the utilization situation at the plant in Schramberg.
