Adjustment of Guidance for Fiscal Year 2018
 
On October 28, 2018, the Executive Board decided in the context of the preparation of the financial statements Q3/2018 to adjust the Guidance for Fiscal Year 2018 (sales revenues > EUR 3.5 billion and EBIT-margin of approximately 5.5% before purchase price allocation, growth investments and reorganization costs) since the company is being affected by a slowdown in the automotive industry as well as some uncertainties in the Chinese automation market.
 
According to current estimates, KUKA lowers its guidance for the sales revenues 2018 to approximately EUR 3.3 billion and the EBIT-margin 2018 to approximately 4.5% before purchase price allocation, growth investments and reorganization costs.
