Sto adjusts medium-term forecast and postpones the achievement of current aims from 2025 to 2027

Reduction of communicated aims for 2025 to a group turnover of 1.9 Billion EUR and a return on sales with respect to the earnings before taxes (EBT) between 7.6 % - 9.2 % (previous forecast 2025: Turnover 2.1 Billion EUR and return on sales with respect to EBT of 10 %)

Achievement of the medium-term forecast with a turnover in the Sto Group in the amount of 2.1 Billion EUR and a return on sales with respect to the earnings before taxes (EBT) of 10 % for Sto Group first expected in 2027

Stühlingen, 19 March 2024 – The board of directors of STO Management SE as the personally liable partner of Sto SE & Co. KGaA has adjusted its previous expectation for the group turnover in the amount of 2.1 Billion EUR and a return on sales with respect to the earnings before taxes (EBT) of 10 % for Sto Group downwards due to the general macroeconomic situation in the construction segment especially in its major single market Germany. The board expects to achieve this aim (Group turnover in the amount of 2.1 Billion EUR and a return on sales with respect to the earnings before taxes (EBT) of 10 % for Sto Group) not as previously planned in 2025 but first in 2027. Therefore, the board of directors has adjusted the medium-term forecast and the medium-term aims for the business year 2025 to a group turnover of 1.9 Billion EUR and a return on sales with respect to the earnings before taxes (EBT) between 7.6 % - 9.2 %; the Supervisory Board has approved this adjustment by decision as of today.

However, Sto confirms the amounts of the medium-term forecast of a group turnover in the amount of 2.1 Billion EUR and a return on sales with respect to the earnings before taxes (EBT) of 10 % for Sto Group. The medium-term aims for the business year 2027 shall amount to a group turnover of 2.1 Billion EUR and a return on sales with respect to the earnings before taxes (EBT) of 10 % so the previous medium-term forecast shall be postponed by two years.

The audited consolidated financial statements of Sto SE & Co. KGaA for 2023 with an outlook for 2024 will be published on 29 April 2024.
