Cherry SE: Forecast for the fiscal year and Q1 2024

Munich, February 27, 2024 – The Management Board expects that the continued implementation of the restructuring, cost reduction and transformation measures initiated will lead to an improvement in the Company’s financial situation in the fiscal year 2024. Based on this, the Management Board expects revenues at Group level of approximately EUR 140 to 150 million for the fiscal year 2024 (analyst consensus: EUR 135 million) and an adjusted EBITDA margin* in the range of 7.0% to 8.0% (analyst consensus: 6.7%).

For Q1/2024, based on revenues of approximately EUR 29.0 million (2023: EUR 28.7 million) the adjusted EBITDA margin* is expected to reach break-even (2023: -4.6%).

The restructuring efforts at COMPONENTS, the sales growth strategy in GAMING & OFFICE PERIPHERALS, and the positive growth indicators in DIGITAL HEALTH & SOLUTIONS, combined with strict cost management, support this forecast.

The Management Board views the fiscal year 2024 as a revitalization year with significant positive effects from management actions and continues to target a medium-term EBITDA margin* of more than 20%.

*The definition of the adjusted EBITDA margin can be found on page 27 of the Annual Report 2022 of Cherry SE, which is available at https://ir.cherry.de/.
