Delticom AG adjusts full-year forecast after a positive business development in the second quarter and a successful turnaround management

Hanover, August 11, 2020 – Against the backdrop of decreasing revenues in the first half of 2020 as a result of the impact of the corona pandemic, the management of Delticom AG (WKN 514680, ISIN DE0005146807, stock exchange symbol DEX) is adjusting its revenues forecast. Although the gradual easing measures in the course of the second quarter have produced a catch-up effect in selected European countries, a recovery of the revenues shortfall in H1 in the second half of the year is unlikely. Accordingly, Group revenues for the year as a whole are now expected to range from € 550 to 570 million (previous forecast: € 600 to 630 million). Due to the successful turnaround management in recent months and the positive earnings development in Q2 2020, the company’s management is raising its earnings forecast for the full year. The Delticom Group’s EBITDA for the 2020 fiscal year is now planned within a range of € +5 to +8 million (previous forecast: € +1 to +5 million). Restructuring costs in 2020 will amount to around € 5 million in total (previously: € 4 million). Operating EBITDA will also be higher than originally planned at € +10 to +13 million (previously: € +5 to +9 million).

The complete Semi-Annual Report 2020 will be available for download on 13 August 2020 on the website www.delti.com within in the “Investor Relations” section.
