Disappointed Annual Results Delay Report by Mutares
Groundbreaking News from Munich: Mutares Underperforms Expectations
Surprise, surprise! Participation company Mutares reported a decline in earnings despite a surge in revenue for the fiscal year. In a shocking turn of events, revenue skyrocketed by a whopping 12% year-on-year, reaching an astonishing €5.26 billion, as announced on Monday evening in Munich. However, the real twist came when EBITDA plummeted from a considerable €757 million euros in 2023 to a lackluster €117 million euros. Analysts were left scratching their heads, as they had anticipated far better results for both key indicators.
Let's dive into the details. On an operating basis (EBITDA), Mutares found itself swimming in the red, reporting a loss of €84.5 million euros, compared to a small surplus of €3.5 million euros in the previous year. Despite the positive impacts from successful operational restructuring programs within the portfolio, these gains were overshadowed by various setbacks.
The acquisition of loss-making participations and the impact of the sluggish overall economic landscape both played significant roles in Mutares' struggle. The Automotive & Mobility segment was hit the hardest due to the unfavorable economic climate, leading to reduced profitability. Additionally, the EBITDA was adjusted for the effects of shifts in the portfolio, highlighting the challenges of integrating new acquisitions into the mix.
Initially, Mutares' share price plummeted by up to 14% on the trading platform Tradegate following the announcement. However, the stock managed to recuperate some of its losses later on. The delay in the audited annual and consolidated financial statements, attributed to increased audit and documentation requirements due to complex special transactions, may have contributed to the slump. As a result, the annual general meeting has been postponed to a later date.
