United Electronic Technology (UET) AG (ISIN: DE000A0LBKW6), Eschborn, Germany, announces selected and preliminary figures for the fiscal year 2022.
In the financial year 2022, revenues grew by 17 % outperforming the set sales target. Consolidated group sales increased to about EUR 49 million (previous year: EUR 41.723 million).
To increase the resilience of the own supply chain, the UET Group invested EUR 4 million in a supply chain resilience project in 2022. These product development and customization expenses were fully expensed.
The results of this project led to a doubling of the production volume in the 4th quarter compared to the three previous quarters.
The set goal of a positive operating EBIT for the full year 2022 was achieved. In the first half of 2022 earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) still amounted to EUR -1.857 million. Growth and increased profitability in the second half of the year led to a positive overall result.
Order intake increased again in the second half of 2022. At the end of the year, the order backlog is EUR 52.5 million compared with EUR 43 million at the end of June 2022. This is the highest order backlog since 2010.
For 2023, the UET Group plans double-digit growth and a positive, increased result.
Challenges in sourcing components and the risk of supply chain disruptions will exist and remain in 2023.
The publication of more detailed figures is scheduled for March 2023. The 2022 annual report of the UET Group will be published by the end of June 2023.
