1 At constant exchange rates and adjusted for changes in the scope of
consolidation.

The double-digit growth in all segments remained broad-based on a regional
level during the first nine months. Order intake for capital goods in the
Sheet Metal Processing and Glass Processing segments most recently reflected
the base effect of the very strong previous year and an increasingly mixed
performance in the regions. Customers in China were more cautious due to
heightened political and macroeconomic uncertainties, while order intake in
the Americas continued to grow. Despite the overall more demanding operating
environment, Conzzeta confirms the expectations for 2018 communicated on
August 10, with revenue growth of around 20% and an EBIT margin (excluding
one-off effects) at the lower end of the target mid-term range of 8% to 10%.
