PRESS RELEASE

Muehlhan AG publishes its results for the first quarter of 2021

- Performance seriously hit by COVID-19 pandemic

- Revenues of €60.9 million, EBIT of €-0.6 million

- Orders on hand of €277 million

- Revenues and EBIT for 2021 dependent on progression of pandemic

Hamburg, April 30, 2021-For Muehlhan AG (Open Market; ISIN DE000A0KD0F7), the first quarter of 2021 was still dominated by the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on business. This becomes clear when compared to the results of the same quarter in 2020, which was not yet affected by the pandemic. Revenues decreased by €9.3 million to €60.9 million. EBIT (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) decreased by €1.4 million from €0.8 million to €-0.6 million. Consolidated income decreased to €-1.1 million, compared to €0.3 million in the previous year. In view of the difficulties in project execution under COVID-19 conditions and the weak start to the year consistently seen in previous years, the result is in line with expectations. Cash flow from operating activities of €6.5 million (previous year: €5.4 million) was gratifying by contrast.

A breakdown by business segment shows that revenues decreased in most areas as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. In the Ship business segment, revenues decreased by €6.1 million to €16.0 million and in the Oil & Gas business, revenues fell by €4.7 million to €15.3 million. The Renewables segment continues to be hardly affected by the pandemic and was able to increase revenues by €5.1 million to €17.3 million compared to the same quarter of the previous year. In the Construction and Infrastructure segment (previously: Industry/Infrastructure), revenues decreased by €5.0 million to €15.9 million due to project interruptions and postponements caused by the numerous restrictions.

In the Energy segment, revenues increased slightly by €1.0 million to €29.6 million compared with the prior-year quarter. In the Marine & Construction segment, revenues decreased by €10.0 million to €31.6 million. The prior-year quarter was not yet impacted by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The forecast for 2021 depends to a large extent on the further course of the pandemic. The Executive Board and Supervisory Board of Muehlhan are expecting revenues and earnings for 2021 to be similar to 2020 if there is no significant improvement in the status of the pandemic. It will no longer be possible to achieve the revenues and results of 2019, as almost four months have already elapsed under lockdown conditions and the pandemic-related restrictions may not be lifted in the near future.
