FORTEC Elektronik AG confirms the preliminary figures for the first half of
the 2023/2024 financial year

  * Group turnover of EUR 47.0 million around 5 % above the previous year's
    level (previous year: EUR 49.4 million)


  * Group EBIT of EUR 4.5 million close to the value of the previous year
    (previous year: EUR 4.6 million)


  * Order book on 31 December 2023 at EUR 68.0 million getting back to
    normal (30 June 2023: EUR 83.0 million)


FORTEC Elektronik AG has published its half-year report for 2023/2024. After
the first six months of the current 2023/2024 financial year (01 July 2023 -
31 December 2023), the Group turnover of EUR 47.0 million (previous year:
EUR 49.4 million) is only slightly below the half year level of the previous
record year and therefore confirms the preliminary figures published on 05
February 2024.

The data visualisation segment contributed EUR 29.1 million (previous year:
EUR 32.0 million) and the power supplies segment EUR 17.8 million (previous
year: EUR 17.5 million) to the total turnover.

Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) at EUR 4.5 million (previous year:
EUR 4.6 million) are roughly at the level of the previous year. The EBIT
margin based on this was even able to be increased slightly to 9.6 %
(previous year: 9.4 %) and is therefore close to the medium-term target
range.

The consolidated net profit in the first half of 2023/2024 was EUR 3.2
million (previous year: EUR 3.4 million) and the earnings per share were
accordingly EUR 0.99 (previous year: EUR 1.04).

The order book on 31 December 2023 was EUR 68.0 million (30 June 2023: EUR
83.0 million) and has therefore normalised compared to the previous year
thanks to improved delivery capacity.

Sandra Maile, CEO of FORTEC Elektronik AG, comments: "Economically
challenging times remain, in which you have to prove yourself. The fact that
the results are close to those of the previous record year is a positive
confirmation of our total annual target for the current financial year. We
are also delighted with our progress in our new development location in
Cairo. We will employ 9 software and hardware developers there from 1st
April. With the adoption of our Strong Together 2030 strategy, we have also
set the course for our medium-term growth."

Assuming that there will be no deterioration to the economic conditions in
the current 2023/2024 financial year and as long as the measures already
initiated in the second quarter take effect as planned, the Management Board
confirms its forecast from the 2022/2023 financial report.

The FORTEC Elektronik AG 2023/2024 half-year report is available on the
company website at https://www.fortecag.de/en/investor-relations/reports/.
