Bystronic取得了3030万瑞士法郎的运营结果（EBIT），EBIT幅度为6.9％，而上一年为6.3％。在2021年的上半年，与该组的转型有关的一次性成本发生了。根据这些成本调整了这些成本，2021年上半年的EBIT利润率为8.0％，在某种程度上受到服务业务的战略扩展以及相关招聘其他服务技术人员的影响。EBITDA为3940万瑞士法郎或净销售额的8.9％（H1 2020：8.5％）。与其他行业一样，较高的原材料价格和有限的运输能力被证明对Bystronic和我们的客户都充满挑战。多亏了我们越来越多的区域组织和采购，我们能够部分减轻这种影响对我们的绩效的影响。

在2021年上半年，Bystronic收购了软件专家Kurago，以加速智能工厂解决方案的市场推出。最初的试点项目定于2021年下半年进行。

Alex Waser, CEO Bystronic Group, states: "Following the successful completion of the transformation, the listing on SIX Swiss Exchange and the encouraging business development in the first half of 2021, we are confident that we are on track to achieving the growth targets set out by our Strategy 2025. Our regional structure and the expansion of our service business mean that we can now respond even more effectively to our customers' needs."

Outlook

Assuming that the positive business development witnessed in the first half of 2021 extends into the second half of the year, the situation on the procurement markets does not accentuate and inflation remains stable, Bystronic expects sales growth for its continuing operations of around 15% in the 2021 financial year, with an EBIT margin of 8 to 9%.

Discontinued operations

随着2021年3月底的Foampartner撤资和截至2021年6月30日的Mammut，Bystronic成功完成了其转型。终止运营的净销售额为1.836亿瑞士法郎，福帕特纳（Foampartner）在2021年第一季度为此贡献了7630万瑞士法郎（以恒定汇率为+13.4％）和Mammmut CHF 1.073亿瑞典克朗（Mammut Chf）1.073亿美元。以恒定汇率为单位）。

The operating result (EBIT) of the discontinued operations amounted to CHF -85.5 million. The divestment loss of FoamPartner accounted for CHF -78.5 million, resulting from the goodwill recycling as prescribed by Swiss GAAP FER.

Group total

The Group's net sales amounted to CHF 624.3 million in the first half-year of 2021, an increase of 8.4%. The operating result (EBIT) was CHF -55.2 million, due to the divestment loss of FoamPartner. In the prior-year period, the operating result (EBIT) was CHF 1.8 million, excluding CHF 48.1 million divestment gain from the sale of Schmid Rhyner, which was completed at the end of February 2020. Overall, the Group result for the first half of 2021 was CHF -60.9 million (H1 2020: CHF 46.6 million). For the continuing operations, the Group result amounted to CHF 23.3 million, an increase of CHF 6.7 million compared to the previous year.

The earnings per class A registered share were CHF -29.50 for the Group or a pro-forma CHF 11.19 for the continuing operations.
