No. 575198, ISIN DE0005751986). Consolidated revenue was up by 21.5% to EUR 28.1 million during the first six months of 2018 (H1 \/ 2017: EUR 23.2 million). Earnings from operating activities (EBIT) in the same period climbed to EUR 3.1 million (H1 \/ 2017: EUR 1.2 million) and are therefore on target. The order book of EUR 22.5 million as of June 30, 2018 represents a significant increase over the previous year and offers SMT Scharf an ideal platform for further profitable growth. <\/strong> Hans Joachim Theiss, Chairman of SMT Scharf AG, commented as follows on the growth of the business in the first half of the year: \u201cWith the successful implementation of strategic measures such as the acquisition of Canadian mining specialist RDH Mining Equipment and our continuous improvement programmes in the Group, we created the conditions in the first half of the year for sustained growth. Positive growth in sales, income and orders in the first six months of the year is clear evidence that our work is bearing fruit. On the basis of our strategy, we intend to further raise our profile in all important markets and profit from the\u00a0consistently healthy state of the industry.\u201d Against the continuing background of stable to slightly rising commodity prices, mine operators are shedding their reticence and investing in new systems and modernising their existing infrastructure. This development is reflected in buoyant business with new systems which posted a half-year figure of EUR 12.4 million, a significant increase over the same period in the previous year (H1 \/ 2017: EUR 8.7 million). In Services and Spare Parts, SMT Scharf achieved sales revenues of EUR 15.7 (H1 \/ 2017: EUR 14.5 million). The Rail Systems product segment accounted for EUR 22.8 million of total revenue in the reporting period (H1 \/ 2017: EUR 21.6 million) while rubber-wheeled vehicles, a new line of business launched with the acquisition of RDH, achieved sales revenue of EUR 3.0 million. Sales of chair lifts stood at EUR 2.3 million (H1 \/ 2017: EUR 1.6 million). China proved to be the market with the strongest growth in the reporting period, and here SMT Scharf was able to report significantly higher revenue of EUR 8.2 million following EUR 3.3 million in the previous year. The consolidation phase among mine operators there is now largely completed. At the same time, the local prices for hard coal have reached a level which makes it lucrative for mining companies to expand production. Sales in the second largest foreign market of Russia declined as expected to EUR 7.7 million (H1 \/ 2017: EUR 9.6 million), due to the completion of several major projects. The order book position of SMT Scharf stood at EUR 22.5 million as of June 30, 2018 (June 30, 2017: EUR 15.7 million). At the same time, the intake of new orders during the first six months of 2018 amounted to EUR 35.4 million (H1 \/ 2017: EUR 23.1 million). The cost of materials showed a year-on-year increase of 20.9% to EUR 16.2 million (H1 \/ 2017: EUR 13.4 million) due to strong sales of new systems. The cost of materials ratio (in relation to total operating revenue) nevertheless fell to 53.7% (H1 \/ 2017: 54.2%). Personnel expenses amounted to EUR 7.8 million, representing a 21.9% year-on-year increase (H1 \/ 2017: EUR 6.4 million). Nevertheless, the personnel cost ratio of 25.8% matched that of the previous year (H1 \/ 2017: 25.8%). As Theiss adds: \u201cThe integration of RDH Mining Equipment is running smoothly in all areas. We succeeded in including it in the group of consolidated companies in time for the second quarter. We will start with technical integration in the second half of the year. Thanks to RDH, we now have rubber-wheeled diesel and electric vehicles for mining and tunnelling in our product portfolio, and we are able to customise the vehicles to meet customers\u2019 needs. That will provide a further boost to our business.\u201d The Management Board of SMT Scharf is still expecting consolidated revenue for fiscal 2018 to be recorded in a range of EUR 58 to 62 million, with EBIT in a corridor of EUR 4.5 to 5.5 million. The complete report for the first half of 2018 will be available for downloading on the company\u2019swebsite at www.smtscharf.com in the \u201cInvestor Relations\u201d section on August 15, 2018.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Company Profile<\/strong><br \/>\nThe SMT Scharf Group develops, builds and maintains transport equipment for underground mines as well as for tunnel construction sites.

August 2018 \u2013 F\u00fcr die SMT Scharf AG (WKN 575198, ISIN DE0005751986) verl\u00e4uft das bisherige Gesch\u00e4ftsjahr 2018 anhaltend positiv. Der Konzernumsatz ist in den ersten sechs Monaten 2018 um 21,5 % auf 28,1 Mio. EUR (H1 \/ 2017: 23,2 Mio. EUR) gestiegen. Das Ergebnis der betrieblichen T\u00e4tigkeit (EBIT) erreichte im gleichen Zeitraum 3,1 Mio. EUR (H1 \/ 2017: 1,2 Mio. EUR) und lag damit im Plan. Ein im Vergleich zum Vorjahr deutlich h\u00f6herer Auftragsbestand von 22,5 Mio. EUR zum 30. Juni 2018 bietet f\u00fcr SMT Scharf eine gute Basis, um weiter profitabel zu wachsen. <\/strong>\r\n\r\nHans Joachim Thei\u00df, Vorstandsvorsitzender der SMT Scharf AG, kommentiert die Gesch\u00e4ftsentwicklung im ersten Halbjahr: \u201eMit der erfolgreichen Umsetzung strategischer Ma\u00dfnahmen wie beispielsweise den Zukauf des kanadischen Bergbauspezialisten RDH Mining Equipment und durch unsere kontinuierlichen Verbesserungsprogramme im Konzern haben wir im ersten Halbjahr die Voraussetzungen f\u00fcr nachhaltiges Wachstum geschaffen. Dass unsere Ma\u00dfnahmen Fr\u00fcchte tragen, zeigt die positive Entwicklung der Umsatz-, Ertragsund\r\nAuftragslage in den ersten sechs Monaten des Jahres. Auf Basis unserer Strategie wollen wir die Visibilit\u00e4t in allen wichtigen M\u00e4rkten weiter erh\u00f6hen und von der weiterhin guten Branchenkonjunktur profitieren.\u201c\r\n\r\nVor dem Hintergrund anhaltend stabiler bis leicht steigender Rohstoffpreise legen Bergwerksbetreiber ihre Zur\u00fcckhaltung ab und investieren in neue Anlagen und die Modernisierung ihrer vorhandenen Infrastruktur. Diese Entwicklung spiegelt sich im lebhaften Gesch\u00e4ft mit Neuanlagen wider, das im ersten Halbjahr 2018 mit einem Volumen von 12,4 Mio. EUR deutlich \u00fcber dem entsprechenden Vorjahreszeitraum lag (H1 \/ 2017: 8,7 Mio. EUR). Im Gesch\u00e4ft mit Services und Ersatzteilen erzielte SMT Scharf einen Umsatz von 15,7 Mio. EUR (H1 \/ 2017: 14,5 Mio. EUR). Auf den Produktbereich Bahnsysteme entfielen im Berichtszeitraum 22,8 Mio. EUR der Ums\u00e4tze (H1 \/ 2017: 21,6 Mio. EUR), w\u00e4hrend im durch RDH neu hinzugekommenen Gesch\u00e4ft mit gummibereiften Fahrzeugen ein Umsatz von 3,0 Mio. EUR erreicht wurde. Im Gesch\u00e4ft mit Sesselliften lag der Umsatz bei 2,3 Mio. EUR (H1 \/ 2017: 1,6 Mio. EUR).\r\n\r\nAls wachstumsst\u00e4rkster Markt im Berichtszeitraum erwies sich China, wo SMT Scharf mit 8,2 Mio. EUR nach 3,3 Mio. EUR im Vorjahr ein signifikantes Umsatzwachstum verzeichnen konnte. Die Konsolidierung unter den Bergwerksbetreibern ist dort weitgehend abgeschlossen. Die lokalen Preise f\u00fcr Steinkohle haben parallel dazu ein Niveau erreicht, das es f\u00fcr die F\u00f6rderunternehmen lukrativ macht, ihre Produktion auszuweiten. Im zweitgr\u00f6\u00dften Auslandsmarkt Russland verringerte sich der Umsatz aufgrund abgeschlossener Gro\u00dfprojekte\r\nerwartungsgem\u00e4\u00df auf 7,7 Mio. EUR (H1 \/ 2017: 9,6 Mio. EUR). Der Auftragsbestand von SMT Scharf lag zum 30. Juni 2018 bei 22,5 Mio. EUR (30. Juni 2017: 15,7 Mio. EUR). Zugleich belief sich der Auftragseingang in den ersten sechs Monaten 2018 auf 35,4 Mio. EUR (H1 \/ 2017: 23,1 Mio. EUR).\r\n\r\nWegen des starken Neuanlagengesch\u00e4ftes stieg der Materialaufwand um 20,9 % auf 16,2 Mio. EUR gegen\u00fcber dem entsprechenden Vorjahreswert (H1 \/ 2017: 13,4 Mio. EUR). Die Materialaufwandsquote (im Verh\u00e4ltnis zur Betriebsleistung) ist dennoch auf 53,7 % gefallen (H1 \/ 2017: 54,2 %). Der Personalaufwand betrug 7,8 Mio. EUR, was einem Anstieg von 21,9 % gegen\u00fcber dem Vorjahreszeitraum entspricht (H1 \/ 2017: 6,4 Mio. EUR). Die\r\nPersonalaufwandsquote lag mit 25,8 % dennoch auf Vorjahresniveau (H1 \/ 2017: 25,8 %). \r\n\r\nThei\u00df erg\u00e4nzt: \u201eDie Integration von RDH Mining Equipment verl\u00e4uft in allen Bereichen planm\u00e4\u00dfig. Zum zweiten Quartal haben wir die Einbeziehung in den Konsolidierungskreis erfolgreich abgeschlossen. Bereits im zweiten Halbjahr werden wir mit der technischen Integration beginnen. Durch RDH haben wir nun auch gummibereifte Diesel- und Elektrofahrzeuge f\u00fcr den Berg- und Tunnelbau im Produktportfolio und k\u00f6nnen die Fahrzeuge je nach Kundenbedarf individuell ausstatten. Das wird unserem Gesch\u00e4ft weitere Impulse geben.\u201c \r\n\r\nF\u00fcr das Gesch\u00e4ftsjahr 2018 rechnet der Vorstand von SMT Scharf weiterhin mit einem Konzernumsatz in einer Spanne von 58 bis 62 Mio. EUR bei einem EBIT im Korridor von 4,5 bis 5,5 Mio. EUR.\r\n\r\nDer vollst\u00e4ndige Bericht f\u00fcr das erste Halbjahr 2018 wird am 15. August 2018 auf der Unternehmenswebsite www.smtscharf.com im Bereich \u201eInvestor Relations\u201c zum Download zur Verf\u00fcgung stehen.\r\n\r\n<strong>Unternehmensprofil<\/strong>\r\nDie SMT Scharf Gruppe entwickelt, baut und wartet Transportausr\u00fcstungen f\u00fcr den Bergbau unter Tage sowie f\u00fcr Tunnelbaustellen.
