Ahlers AG announced group earnings results for the first half of fiscal year 2019. For the first six months of the fiscal year 2018/19, the company's total group revenues in the first six months of fiscal year 2018/19 declined by 5.0% or EUR 5.5 million from EUR 110.8 million to EUR 105.3 million. Consolidated net loss was EUR 1.7 million against net loss of EUR 0.4 million a year ago.

The management board of Ahlers AG confirmed the full-year forecast of a medium single-digit percentage reduction in Group sales revenues that will tend to be slightly below the half-year rate. The management board continues to expect consolidated earnings to improve noticeably in the fiscal year 2018/19, mainly because of reduced one-time effects. Consolidated earnings after taxes are likely to grow at a high double-digit percentage rate but still be negative in 2018/19, which will be a year of transformation. The company aims to return to profit in 2020 when all measures initiated will take effect.
