Ad hoc announcements

DGAP-Ad-hoc: Rheinmetall AG: Record first-half result - further value adjustment in piston business

Rheinmetall AG / Key word(s): Half Year Results/Miscellaneous
Rheinmetall AG: Record first-half result - further value adjustment in piston business

03-Aug-2021 / 17:29 CET/CEST
Disclosure of an inside information acc. to Article 17 MAR of the Regulation (EU) No 596/2014, transmitted by DGAP - a service of EQS Group AG.
The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.

 

In the first half of 2021, Rheinmetall grew its sales by around 9% to €2,582 million (H1 2020: €2,372 million). The operating result of ongoing activities nearly doubled by €95 million to €191 million (H1 2020: €96 million). Earnings per share of ongoing activities in the first half of the year rose by €2.18 to €2.50 (H1 2020: €0.32). Operating free cash flow from ongoing activities improved during the first six months by €342 million to -€46 million (H1 2020: -€387 million).

During the previously announced process of divesting its small- and large-bore pistons business, Rheinmetall has taken another value adjustment of €110 million for its discontinued pistons segment. This value adjustment will have no impact on liquidity or results relating to the Group's ongoing operations. Nor will it affect the annual forecast updated in May 2021 on sales and profitability regarding Rheinmetall's continuing activities.

As already announced, Rheinmetall will present a full report on developments in the first half of the year on 5 August 2021.
