Ad hoc Release
FUCHS successfully completed the difficult financial year 2020

FUCHS Group achieved sales and earnings significantly above expectations in the fourth quarter 2020, in particular after a strong December. Thus, 2020 came in better than expected at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

The preliminary 2020 sales of the FUCHS Group amounted close to EUR 2.4 billion, 7% below the previous year's level. Operating business in the fourth quarter was significantly above expectations. For the financial year 2020, FUCHS therefore only expects a decline in earnings (EBIT) in the mid-single-digit percentage range (previously EBIT decline in the range of -15%).

The complete reporting for the 2020 financial year will be published as scheduled on March 9, 2021.
