LION E-Mobility AG confirms full year 2024 guidance after weak Q1 with
seasonal effects
Zug (Switzerland), 2 May 2024 - LION E-Mobility AG (LION; ISIN:
CH0560888270), a leading battery pack manufacturer specializing in
e-mobility and energy storage solutions, published preliminary figures of
LION Group for the first quarter of 2024, today, revealing seasonal effect.
While Q1 figures indicate temporary weakness in revenue activity, the
company expresses optimism regarding its long-term growth prospects on the
basis of the order backlog and the sales pipeline.
During Q1 2024, LION generated revenues totaling EUR1.2 million, showcasing a
temporary decline compared to the robust performance of the preceding fiscal
year which included the former reselling business. The EBITDA of -EUR2.6
million in Q1 2024 primarily reflects the seasonal distribution of revenue,
with operational costs resulting in a negative operating cash flow.
Personnel costs remained stable at EUR1.4 million, consistent with the
previous year's average, demonstrating the company's commitment to prudent
financial management.
Dr. Joachim Damasky, CEO of LION: "Despite the temporary weak revenue
observed in Q1 2024, we remain optimistic on full-year 2024 and our
long-term growth prospects. Our strategic initiatives position us for
continued expansion, and we anticipate improved financial performance in the
upcoming quarters based on the strong sales pipeline."
Outlook
Despite the seasonal effects observed in Q1 2024, LION reaffirms its
commitment to sustainable growth and the 2024 guidance. The sales pipeline
is strong, particularly for Q3 and Q4. Order backlog amounts to around EUR13
million. Thus, LION assumes improved sales performance in Q2 2024 and
especially the latter part of the year.
Overall, LION continues to expect sales in 2024 to reach EUR60 million to EUR65
million, representing growth of around 11%. On the basis of the market
opportunities and the sales strategy LION has set ambitious sales targets
for the coming years. The company is aiming for sales to increase
significantly to up to EUR200 million by 2028.
