Jungheinrich Q3 Report 2022

Orders on hand for new truck business increased to €1,756 million as of 30 Sep- tember 2022, which is €328 million or 23 per cent higher than the previous-year figure (€1,428 million). Compared with orders on hand of €1,519 million as of year-end 2021, this represents an increase of €237 million or 16 per cent. The reason for the ongoing very high number of orders on hand was the continued restricted availability of production materials for further processing.

Earnings and financial position

At €265.9 million, Jungheinrich Group’s earnings before interest and income taxes (EBIT) for the period January to September 2022 recorded slight growth of 3 per cent against the same period of the previous year (€258.4 million). In the reporting period, considerable rises in the cost of materials were partially countered by appropriate measures. Due to significantly higher Group revenue in comparison with the previous year, EBIT return on sales (EBIT ROS) came to 7.8 per cent (previous year: 8.6 per cent).

Earnings before taxes (EBT), which were also substantially impacted by high valuation losses on securities and derivatives in the special fund, declined to €234.6 million in the first nine months of 2022 (previous year: €249.6 million). EBT return on sales (EBT ROS) came to 6.9 per cent (previous year: 8.3 per cent). Profit or loss in the period January to September 2022 stood at €174.8 million (previous year: €183.5 million).
