The second quarter of 2023 was positive with EBIT of €0.2 million (previous year: €1.4 million), showing a slight improvement compared to the first quarter of 2023.

At 26.7 %, the gross margin for the first half of 2023 was at the level of the previous year (26.8 %). The SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES Group's freely available liquidity amounted to € 17.6 million as of June 30, 2023, compared to € 18.7 million at the end of 2022. The order intake in this period amounted to € 24.1 million, compared to € 33.5 million in the previous year.

The order backlog as of June 30, 2023, amounted to € 67.2 million, compared with € 104.0 million in the previous year.

The number of employees in the SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES Group decreased to 298 as of June 30, 2023, due to the closure of the production in Fürstenfeldbruck (December 31, 2022: 321 employees).

Dr.-Ing. Stefan Rinck, Chief Executive Officer of SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES, expressed optimism about the future of the company regarding further promising projects in the second half of the year. He emphasized that there are promising projects in all segments which are close to the decision-making phase. In addition, he said, the new hydrogen technology business area offered considerable potential for the coming years.

The company changed its forecast for fiscal 2023 after the end of the reporting period and published the new expectations on July 6, 2023. Due to delays in important projects in the Solar segment SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES now expects sales within a range of € 90 million to € 100 million. EBIT has also been adjusted and is forecast in the low single-digit million € range. The achievement of these key financial figures assumes a scheduled development of the business activities in all segments.
