Ahlers AG reported earnings guidance for the fourth quarter and full year 2017. For the quarter, the company increased its sales revenues as expected by 5.7%. For the full year, the company continued operations grew as planned by 1.4% or EUR 3.3 million in the full year 2016/17. Total sales revenues in 2016/17 amounted to EUR 235.9 million compared to EUR 237.8 million a year ago. The decline by EUR -1.9 million or -0.8% means that revenues were essentially stable in spite of the discontinuation of activities EUR -5.2 million. As the Management Board had expected much stronger increases, the full-year EBITDA target and the full-year consolidated EAT target were not reached (EBITDA 2016/17: EUR 8.3 million, previous year: EUR 9.2 million; EAT 2016/17: EUR 1.9 million, previous year: EUR 2.5 million). The Management Board had projected moderate earnings growth at all levels. By contrast, operating cash flow, at EUR 10.2 million, exceeded the previous year's EUR 4.9 million by over 100%.
