Business performance

Aumann AG was able to increase its revenue in the first quarter of 2024 by 15.8% to €64.5 million. Against

the backdrop of the significantly improved profitability in the order backlog, EBITDA almost doubled from €3.5 million within the first three months of 2023 to €6.7 million in the same period of 2024. The EBITDA margin increased from 6.2% in the previous year to 10.5% and is thus already in the upper half of the

margin guidance for the fiscal year 2024. The E -mobility segment was particularly strong, increasing revenue by 23.1% to €48.6 million and EBITDA by 129.1% to €5.3 million compared to the previous year.

At €76.0 million, order intake after the first three months of 2024 was slightly above the previous year's

level. While the Classic segment was dominated by a major order in the field of renewables energies in the previous year, the strategically leading E -mobility segment takes a share of 90.8% in the first quarter

of 2024. With a cross-segmentbook-to-bill ratio of 1.18 after three months, the order backlog increased by 13.5% from €276.5 million to €313.9 million. The order backlog has thus not only reach ed another

record level in the company's history, but also continues to form a solid foundation for the forecast revenues and earnings growth in a market environment characterized by uncertainty.

Based on the successful start of the year, with a liquidity position of €137.8 million and an equity ratio of

54.9%, Aumann continues to be in an excellent position.

On November 17, 2023, Aumann AG resolved to make use of the authori sation granted by the Annual General Meeting on June 2, 2021 to acquire treasury shares in accordance with Section 71 (1) No. 8 of

the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG) and to repurchase treasury shares with a maximum volume of €8.0 million up to a price of €20.00 per share via the stock exchange in the period from November 22,

2023 to June 30, 2024 (share buyback program 2023/II). By December 31, 2023, a total of 115,009 shares with a total value of €2.0 million had been repurchased. As of the balance sheet date March 31, 2024, a further 210,783 shares with a total value of €3.6 million were repurchased. After the balance sheet date, a further 137,489 shares with a total value of €2.4 million were repurchased by May 13, 2024. The maximum volume of €8.0 million was thus reached on May 13, 2024 and the share buyback program

2023/II was completed.

The Executive Board and the Supervisory Board will propose the payment of a dividend to the Annual General Meeting. This will amount to €20 cents per dividend-bearing share.

Results of operations, financial position and net assets

Against the backdrop of a volatile economic environment, the results of operations, financial position and

net assets of the Aumann Group remain positive. Consolidated revenues increased in the first three months of 2024 by 15.8% and was at €64.5 million (previous year: €55.7 million). Total performance after considering capitalised development work and other operating income was €65.6 million, €8.2 million

more compared to the same period last year.

The cost of materials increased by 3.1% to €36.0 million, a disproportionately low increase compared to revenue growth, while personnel expenses rose by 23.9% to €20.0 million.

EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amorti sation) amounted to €6.7 million (previous year: €3.5 million) in the first quarter of 2024. After depreciation and amortisation of €1.6 million (previous year: €1.3 million), EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes) for the Aumann Group is €5.1 million (previous year: €2.2 million). The financial result for the first three months was €0.8 million (previous year: €0.0 million) resulting in an EBT (earnings before taxes) of €5.9 million (pre- vious year: €2.2 million). Net income amounted to €3.9 million (previous year: €1.4 million) or €0.27 per

share (based on the average number of shares outstan ding in the amount of 14,855,913) in the first three months.

In connection with the stock option program, personnel expenses of €172.0 thousand were adjusted (previous year: €185.0 thousand). Adjusted EBITDA thus amounted to €6.9 million (previous year:

€3.7 million). In addition, depreciation and amortisation of assets capitalised as part of the purchase

price allocation of Aumann Limbach-Oberfrohna GmbH and Aumann Lauchheim GmbH in the amount of €21.2 thousand was adjusted. Adjusted EBIT was thus at €5.3 million (previous year: €2.4 million).

Order intake in the first three months of 2024 totalled €76.0 million. The order backlog amounted to €313.9 million as of March 31, 2024. The Aumann Group's equity amounted to €189.7 million as of the March 31, 2024 (December 31, 2023: €189.3 million). Regarding the consolidated balance sheet total of €345,4 million the equity ratio was at 54.9%.

As of March 31, 2024, the Aumann Group had cash and cash equivalents including securities of €137.8 million (December 31, 2023: €143.8 million). After deducting the Group's financial liabilities of €8.6 million (December 31, 2023: €8.8 million), the Aumann Group net cash position amounts to €129.2 million, compared to €135.0 million as of December 31, 2023.

Segments

In the E-mobility segment, revenue increased in the first quarter of 2024 by 23.1% to €48.6 million. The segment's EBITDA after three months amounted to €5.3 million (previous year: €2.3 million). EBIT amounted to €4.1 million (previous year: €1.5 million). Order intake in the E -mobility segment reached €68.9 million (previous year: €39.3 million).

In the first three months of the year, revenue in the Classic segment amounted to €15.9 million (pr evious year: €16.2 million). The segment's EBITDA amounted to €2.3 million (previous year: €1.9 million). EBIT amounted to €1.9 million (previous year: €1.5 million). Order intake in the Classic segment reached €7.0 million (previous year: €35.9 million).

Outlook

For the 2024 financial year, the Executive Board continues to expect revenue to grow to over €320 million

with an EBITDA margin of 9 to 11%.
