SFC Energy AG publishes preliminary consolidated figures for 2020, guidance 2021 and new strategic medium-term planning 2025

Brunnthal/Munich, February 15, 2021 - According to preliminary calculations, SFC Energy AG generated consolidated sales of €53.2 million in the 2020 financial year. In the overall challenging COVID-19 environment, preliminary consolidated sales were thus around 9.1% below the previous year's level (2019: €58.5 million), but remain in line with expectations. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the sales performance of the segments, with the exception of the Clean Energy & Mobility segment, which recorded strong growth of 61.6%. Preliminary underlying EBITDA developed at the upper end of management's expectations at €2.9 million (2019: €3.6 million).

For the current financial year 2021, the Management Board expects organic growth and consolidated sales between €61 million and €70 million. In this context, an increase in profitability with an underlying EBITDA between €3.5 million and €6 million and an underlying EBIT of €-0.9 million to €1.6 million is targeted. Details on the forecast for the 2021 financial year and information on initial target figures for a revised medium-term plan up until the 2025 financial year will be included in today's press release.
