hGears AG Group: Preliminary 2022 results in line with the Management Board’s guidance
FULL YEAR 2022 PRELIMINARY RESULTS
Schramberg, 7 March 2023 – hGears Group has today released preliminary key financial numbers for its fiscal year 2022. The Group generated revenue of EUR 135.3 million in 2022, within the guided range of EUR 134 - 138 million. Some of the Group's customers were impacted by COVID-19-related shutdowns in early 2022, which, alongside supply chain constraints in the course of the year, had an effect on customers' production, while temporary overstocking led to some order postponements and cancellations towards the end of the year. During 2022 the company made use of pass-through clauses for raw materials and energy. However, the pass-through clauses could only partially compensate for the inflationary pressures on the non-transferable costs, e.g. for tools, supplies and services. As a result, the Group achieved an adjusted EBITDA of EUR 15.3 million, also within the guided range of EUR 14 – 17 million. Finally, hGears Group achieved a negative free cash flow of EUR 8.3 million, in line with the guided negative high single-digit million amount, after ongoing investments in capacities that enable the ramp-up of new projects. On Thursday, March 30, 2023, at 7:30 am CET, the company will publish its full Annual Report 2022 and host subsequently a live webcast with the management team.
