Quarterly Survey

Bertrandt is an engineering services provider and has therefore

benefited from the sustained, high levels of investment in research

30

Roadshows and Conferences

and development in the reporting period. According to a study

30

Credits

conducted by the German Association of the Automotive Industry

(VDA), German OEMs and suppliers will invest more than 50 billion

euros annually in research and development between 2023 and

2027. Previously, the VDA had assumed annual investments of 44

billion euros. As these investments will focus on the megatrends of

electromobility, autonomous driving and digitalisation, according

to the VDA, the related fields of innovation will remain important growth areas for engineering services providers such as the Bertrandt Group.

The German automotive industry is thus proactively shaping the transformation of the sector, also in order to meet increasing regulatory requirements. In the reporting period, the EU agreed on a virtual ban on the sale of new combustion-powered vehicles starting in 2035 and further tightened CO2 limits. While the previous target for fleet emissions was a 37.5% reduction by 2030 compared to 2021, the new target is 55%. These and comparable regulations in other countries around the world are leading to a significant increase in the variety of models and variants of vehicles with electrified or alternative drives.

Based on the performance in the first half of the fiscal year, Ber- trandt essentially confirms the outlook for fiscal 2022/2023 as presented in the forecast in the 2021/2022 Annual Report on pages 122 - 125. Amending this forecast, Bertrandt now expects growth in total revenues of between EUR 100 and 150 million (previously EUR 60 to 100 million).
