Thanks to a strong final quarter, sales of around \u20ac 1.913 billion were slightly above the forecast range of \u20ac 1.85 billion to \u20ac 1.90 billion. Due to rising demand particularly in China, parts of Europe and, in the final quarter, also in the US, incoming orders rose to a high level of around \u20ac 2.0 billion by the end of the financial year. In the fourth quarter alone, the order intake improved significantly to \u20ac579 million, from \u20ac 462 million in the same quarter of the previous year. The order backlog thus increased to a level of \u20ac 636 million, providing a favorable basis for the new financial year.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;With a strong final spurt, we have been able to continue our recovery in business volume since the Corona-induced low in the summer,&#8221; <strong>said Rainer Hundsd\u00f6rfer, Heidelberg\u2019s CEO.<\/strong> &#8220;The upturn in the regions makes us confident that we will be able to continue our upward trend in net sales and margin in the future.&#8221;<br \/>\nAs a result of the positive effects realized under the transformation program and the higher sales volume in the final quarter, the operating return exceeded the company\u2019s own forecast. At \u20ac 146 million, EBITDA excluding restructuring result in financial year 2020\/2021 was significantly higher than in the previous year (\u20ac102 million). The EBITDA margin of around 7.6 percent exceeded the company&#8217;s own forecast of around 7 percent, even though the expected income from the sale of land at the Wiesloch site will only be recognized in the new financial year.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-39209\" src=\"https:\/\/www.converter.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Heidelberg-01_Druckmaschinen_Montage_Heidelberg-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/>&#8220;The consistent and rapid implementation of our transformation program has stabilized Heidelberg during the pandemic and, with the tailwind of the market recovery setting in, provides the foundation for profitable growth&#8221;, <strong>said Marcus A. Wassenberg, the company&#8217;s CFO.<\/strong><br \/>\nAs expected, the preliminary result after taxes in financial year 2020\/21 has improved significantly year-on-year. Due to the favorable final quarter, the loss is expected to be somewhat lower than previously anticipated. Thanks in particular to the sharp reduction in net working capital and income from asset management in the reporting period, free cash flow for the financial year as a whole will be clearly positive and net financial debt will be kept at a low level.<br \/>\nThe company will publish its financial statements and annual report for financial year 2020\/2021 on June 9, 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to preliminary figures (unaudited), Heidelberg has exceeded its own forecast in terms of net sales and operating margin for the financial year 2020\/2021 just ended (April 1, 2020 to March 31, 2021).
