Aunque el fabricante de sistemas de bater\u00edas Voltabox pudo aumentar significativamente sus ventas en la primera mitad del a\u00f1o, el resultado operativo segu\u00eda en n\u00fameros rojos. Probablemente no se vislumbre una mejora hasta 2020 y podr\u00eda requerir un programa de austeridad.<\/p>\n
Tras los seis primeros meses del a\u00f1o, las ventas ascendieron a 32,1 millones de euros, lo que supone un aumento del 77,3% respecto al mismo periodo del a\u00f1o anterior. Los beneficios de explotaci\u00f3n antes de intereses e impuestos ascendieron a 3,6 millones de euros negativos, frente a un beneficio menor de 0,1 millones de euros en el mismo periodo del a\u00f1o anterior.<\/p>\n
Seg\u00fan la empresa alemana con sede en Delbr\u00fcck, el aumento de las ventas se debi\u00f3 principalmente a los sistemas de bater\u00edas para su uso en carretillas elevadoras. Adem\u00e1s, la producci\u00f3n en serie de sistemas de bater\u00edas para su uso en veh\u00edculos agr\u00edcolas contribuy\u00f3 al crecimiento de las ventas en la primera mitad del a\u00f1o. Las ventas de paquetes de bater\u00edas para bicicletas el\u00e9ctricas tambi\u00e9n fueron alentadoras.<\/p>\n
\"En la primera mitad del a\u00f1o, pudimos seguir creciendo en un entorno de mercado d\u00e9bil y ganar nuevos clientes\", afirma J\u00fcrgen Pampel, Presidente del Consejo de Administraci\u00f3n de Voltabox AG. \"No obstante, los efectos temporales han repercutido recientemente en nuestra rentabilidad\".<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

On August 12, the Management Board of Voltabox AG announced an adjustment to its sales and earnings forecast for the 2019 financial year. The main reasons are the partial postponement of a major order to the American subsidiary Voltabox of Texas (where mobile phone masts were to be equipped with Li-Ion batteries) until 2020 and the conversion of an important cell supplier to the latest technology, which will lead to a temporary interruption of production in some areas at Voltabox.<\/p>\n
For the 2019 fiscal year, Voltabox now expects consolidated sales of between \u20ac70 million and \u20ac80 million. Instead of the profit forecast until the profit warning, there should now also be a loss for the year as a whole: The company is forecasting a margin of minus 8 to minus 9 per cent.<\/p>\n
For the year 2020, the battery system manufacturer is aiming for a “sustainable return to profitability”. In return, Pampel intends to cut costs and concentrate on high-margin areas. The Management Board also wants to reassure investors: since the beginning of the year, the share has temporarily lost up to 60 per cent in value. One of the reasons for this was an erroneous annual report for 2017<\/a>, where Voltabox had understated the loss far too low.<\/p>\n
