Earnings Turnaround

In 2021, HWA AG reversed its previous losses by achieving an EBIT of +1.2 million euros, a substantial improvement from the -10.6 million euros of the prior year. After taxes and interest, the Group recorded a net profit of over 0.6 million euros compared to a loss of more than eleven million euros in 2020.

Revenue Growth and Cost Efficiency

Sales surged to 85.8 million euros in 2021 from 65.6 million euros in 2020, reflecting strong business recovery. This revenue boost, paired with an intensified cost and efficiency programme, played a key role in the turnaround of the company's earnings.

Improved Cash Flow and Strengthened Financial Position

HWA AG reported a positive operating cash flow of nearly 7 million euros, a stark contrast to the negative 2.5 million euros in 2020. Additionally, the equity capital grew from 18.1 million to 19.1 million euros, and the equity ratio improved from over 26% to more than 32%, bolstering the company’s financial stability.

Outlook for 2022

The outlook for 2022 remains positive, with expectations for continued growth in the Vehicles/Vehicle Components segment. HWA AG anticipates further recovery in EBIT, potentially reaching up to 2 million euros, provided that global economic conditions and supply chain challenges do not deteriorate further.
