Schindler achieved sales of 11.35 billion Swiss francs. That’s 1.0 percent more than in 2021, the Ebikon LU-based group announced on Wednesday. The growth in local currencies was 2.5 percent.
As a result, net profit fell 25.2 percent to CHF 659 million. Among other things, Schindler was plagued by supply chain problems and inflation.
Profitability deteriorated significantly. Adjusted operating profit EBITDA fell 16.4 percent to CHF 1.05 billion. Operating margin decreased to 9.2 percent after 11.1 percent the previous year. Figures do not include certain items such as restructuring costs and expenses for the “Top Speed 23” agility program, Building Minds program.
If these are taken into account, EBITDA came to 904 million francs. That’s minus 22.5 percent compared to 2021. In numbers, Schindler exceeded analysts’ expectations.
Despite the decrease in profit, shareholders will receive a constant dividend of CHF 4.00 per share and certificate of participation.
The basis for future results has shrunk somewhat. Incoming orders fell 1.7 percent to 11.96 billion Swiss francs. While the Americas and Europe, Africa, Middle East regions have grown, there has been a significant decline in the Chinese new equipment market. The modernization and service areas continued to grow and softened the decline in new systems.
For 2023, Schindler projects low single-digit revenue growth in local currencies, except for unexpected events. As in previous years, the group profit forecast for 2023 will be announced with the announcement of the half year results. (SDA/kae)
