Wacker Neuson SE: Wacker Neuson Group: Market squeeze in third quarter of 2015 - Seite 3

Growth forecast for 2015 revised
The Group recently adjusted its forecast for the current year as a result
of these latest business developments. "We do not believe that we will be
able to fully compensate for market downturns during the fourth quarter.
This has led us to revise our revenue and profit forecasts. Our performance
in recent years, however, shows that Wacker Neuson remains ideally
positioned, both strategically and operationally, to master current and
also future market challenges," concludes Peksaglam confidently.

The company expects Group revenue to amount to between EUR 1.35 and 1.40
billion (2014: EUR 1.28 billion) and the EBIT margin to range between 7.0
and 8.0 percent (2014: 10.6 percent). The Group still expects free cash
flow for the year to be positive.

The company will be publishing its nine-month report on November 12, 2015.
It plans to issue its forecast for the coming year in March 2016 when it
publishes its results for 2015.
