Wacker Neuson SE announced group earnings results for the first quarter of 2013. At EUR 257.1 million, Group revenue for the first three months of the year was down 6% on the unusually strong prior-year figure (previous year: EUR 274.0 million). The drop in revenue and one-off items had a negative impact on profit figures. Profit before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) thus fell 36.1% in the first three months of the year to EUR 24.8 million. This corresponds to an EBITDA margin of 9.7% (prior-year quarter: EUR 38.8 million; EBITDA margin: 14.2%). Profit before interest and tax (EBIT) was down at EUR 11.1 million and the EBIT margin fell to 4.3% (prior-year quarter: EUR 26.3 million; EBIT margin: 9.6%). Profit for the period thus amounted to EUR 6.4 million against prior-year quarter of EUR 17.1 million. Earnings per share was EUR 0.09 against EUR 0.24 a year ago. The overall forecast for the year remains unchanged, with revenue expected to increase to around EUR 1.2 billion (2012: EUR 1,091 million) overall and the EBITDA margin to exceed 13.0% (2012: 13.0%).
