ElringKlinger sustains strong revenue and earnings growth in third quarter of 2014 - Seite 4

13.9% up on the figure recorded for the same period a year ago. The Group
again exceeded its previous record of EUR 649.1 million achieved in the
preceding quarter.

Annual forecast confirmed - Revenue and earnings growth expected in FY 2014

ElringKlinger has confirmed its forecast for the annual period 2014 as a
whole. For 2014, ElringKlinger anticipates that production output in the
global car market will expand by 2 to 3%. Against this backdrop, the
ElringKlinger Group has forecast that - on the back of revenue totaling EUR
1,175.2 million in the 2013 financial year (ElringKlinger Marusan
Corporation included on a proportionate basis) - its revenue will grow by 5
to 7% organically in 2014, thus outpacing the market as a whole in terms of
percentage growth. The full consolidation of ElringKlinger Marusan
Corporation will additionally contribute around EUR 25 million to Group
revenue. Full inclusion of this lower-margin subsidiary within the Group's
scope of consolidation will have a dilutive effect on the Group EBIT margin
in 2014 (approx. -0.3 percentage points). By contrast, improved capacity
utilization with regard to the production of lightweight components for
trucks following the introduction of Euro VI as well as the anticipated
earnings contribution from organic revenue growth and the improved earnings
performance at Hug should help to raise the Group's aggregate profit margin
slightly in 2014. Adjusted for non-recurring items, EBIT is to rise to a
level of EUR 160 to 165 million.
