Preliminary figures
Interroll grows strongly in the 2021 financial year
The intralogistics specialist is in a jubilant mood: sales rose to CHF 640.1 million (+20.6% on the previous year, +21.0% in local currencies). Incoming orders climbed to CHF 788.4 million (+43.9% on the previous year, +44.2% in local currencies).
Earnings are expected to increase significantly compared to the previous year. Due to the positive order development in 2021 as a whole, the Group is cautiously optimistic about the 2022 financial year. Sales in consolidated currency reached CHF 640.1 million (+20.6% year-on-year) and exceeded the previous year in local currency by 21.0%. Compared to the first half of 2021, Interroll was able to further increase its sales momentum. This was due in particular to the disproportionately high growth in the project business in the second half of the year.
Incoming orders in 2021 amounted to CHF 788.4 million in consolidated currency (+43.9% year-on-year) and grew by +44.2% in local currency compared to the previous year. Business momentum in the markets remained high in the second half of the year. Interroll expects an increase in earnings. According to preliminary figures, the company was also able to increase EBITDA and EBIT. Margins are slightly below the record year 2020 due to higher material prices and tight supply chains.
"Interroll impresses with its innovative technology platform for material handling solutions. We have significantly expanded our market presence in 2021 and have started the new year with a record order backlog," explains Ingo Steinkrüger, CEO Interroll Worldwide Group, adding: "We expect positive demand dynamics, while at the same time we continue to monitor tense supply chains and rising material costs very closely worldwide. Against this backdrop, we remain cautiously optimistic overall, while maintaining our cost discipline and continuing to do everything we can to further improve our delivery times for customers." The full 2021 annual report with the final, audited figures will be presented at the annual media conference on March 18.
