KION GROUP AG: KION Group withdraws outlook for fiscal year 2022
Frankfurt/Main, April 4, 2022
In view of the ongoing and substantial uncertainties in the procurement markets, which are significantly exacerbated by the military conflict in Eastern Europe as well as by recent Corona-lockdowns, the Executive Board of KION GROUP AG decided today, April 4, 2022, to withdraw the outlook for the fiscal year 2022 as published on March 3, 2022.
On February 22, 2022, the Executive Board of KION GROUP AG had adopted the following outlook for the fiscal year 2022 for the KION Group and its operating segments when preparing the consolidated
financial statements:
in € million | KION Group | Industrial Trucks & Services | Supply Chain Solutions |

Order intake1 | 11,600 - 12,800 | 7,200 - 7,800 | 4,400 - 5,000 |
Revenue1 | 11,000 - 12,000 | 7,000 - 7,600 | 4,000 - 4,400 |
Adjusted EBIT1 | 1,010 - 1,150 | 655 - 735 | 465 - 525 |

1 Disclosure for the Industrial Trucks & Services and Supply Chain Solutions segments also include intra-group cross-segment order intake, revenue and effects on EBIT |
Due to the bottlenecks in the procurement markets, which are anticipated to last much longer than expected, the continued sharp increase in material and logistics costs, and recent Corona-lockdowns which particularly affect the Asian market, the outlook for fiscal year 2022 can no longer be maintained.
