KGaA (abbrev.: H&R KGaA; ISIN DE000A2E4T77) showed a significant improvement of the company's sales volumes and earnings development at the end of the third quarter of 2020. According to preliminary calculations, the consolidated operating result (EBITDA *) in the third quarter was EUR 14.1 million (Q3-2019: EUR 5.1 million) as a result of the noticeable recovery in our customer markets that began in June / July 2020.

At the remaining levels, the results also exceeded the previous year: EBIT closed at EUR 1.9 million after last year's EUR -6.5 million. Earnings before taxes (EBT) in the third quarter of 2020 were almost balanced at EUR -0.1 Million (Q3-2019: EUR -8.4 million), the company closed the net income attributable to shareholders with EUR -1.2 million (Q3-2019: EUR -6.0 million). Sales revenues in the third quarter of the current financial year fell to EUR 208.1 million (Q3-2019: EUR 274.7 million), in particular due to purchase quantities that increased during the current year but did not reach previous years' figures.
