Von Roll successfully continues recovery trend in 2018
- Cash flow from operating activities of CHF 21.2 million (previous year:
CHF 5.3 million)
- EBITDA of CHF 25.1 million (previous year: CHF 20.4 million)
- EBIT of CHF 4.4 million at previous year's level (previous year: CHF 4.5
million)
- Equity ratio improved to 66.5% (previous year: 28.2%)
Breitenbach, 13 March 2019 - In the financial year 2018, Von Roll
successfully continued its recovery trend and significantly improved key
performance indicators.
Cash flow from operating activities increased significantly to CHF 21.2
million (2017: CHF 5.3 million). Earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) also improved to CHF 25.1 million, up
23.0 % on the previous year.
As a result of the divestment of loss-making business activities and the
associated one-off special charges, group sales were down year-on-year by
-3.3 % to CHF 321.4 million. Nevertheless, the operating result of CHF 4.4
million was maintained at the previous year's level.
Following the almost complete conversion of the bonds, the equity ratio is
now around 66.5% (previous year: 28.2%).
The net result amounted to CHF -10.7 million and was significantly impacted
by non-recurring expenses of CHF -9.7 million and interest expenses of CHF
-4.5 million for the convertible bonds, which will be almost completely
eliminated from 2019 as a result of the conversion that took place.
