SMT Scharf increased its consolidated revenue\u00a0<\/strong><strong>significantly by 22.6% to EUR 52.1 million (2016: EUR 42.6 million). At the same time,\u00a0the company achieved an operating result (EBIT) of EUR 4.5 million (2016:\u00a0EUR 2.5 million), which reflects growth of 84.2%. All in all, SMT Scharf raised its\u00a0consolidated net profit substantially to EUR 4.0 million year on year (2016: EUR 1.5\u00a0million).<\/strong><br \/>\nHans Joachim Thei\u00df, SMT Scharf AG\u2019s CEO, comments on the performance in fiscal 2017:\u00a0\u201cWe are very happy with our development in fiscal 2017. Our market growth strategy has paid\u00a0off and made a significant contribution to raising revenue and the results. The increase in\u00a0commodity prices and the improved industry environment also had a positive impact on our\u00a0business. At the start of 2018, we set the prerequisites for promoting growth in place by\u00a0establishing the second sales-oriented joint venture in China and through the takeover of\u00a0mining specialist RDH Mining Equipment.\u201d\u00a0In the final quarter of 2017, consolidated revenue increased by 6.3% to EUR 16.9 million\u00a0(Q4\/2016: EUR 15.9 million). As a result, consolidated revenue for the full year climbed by\u00a022.6% to EUR 52.1 million (2016: EUR 42.6 million). Similarly, total operating revenue\u00a0advanced to EUR 53.1 million (2016: EUR 42.2 million). The new systems and service<br \/>\nbusiness developed well over the year under review, with the share of new business in revenue\u00a0rising to 43.6% (2016: 32.4%), boosted by greater capital expenditure by mining operators.\u00a0The share of the service business in revenue came in at 56.4% (2016: 67.6%). As before, by\u00a0far the largest share of consolidated revenue of 83.6%, equivalent to EUR 43.6 million, was\u00a0accounted for by the Coal segment (2016: 84.1% or EUR 35.8 million). SMT Scharf generated\u00a0around 95% of its revenue abroad in the reporting year 2017 (2016: 92%). Russia (and CIS)\u00a0continued to be the most important market with a share of 32.6% or EUR 17.0 million (2016:\u00a029.8% or EUR 12.7 million). With an increase in its share of revenue to 27.1% or EUR 14.1\u00a0million (2016: 19.3% or EUR 8.2 million), China as the world\u2019s largest coal producer also\u00a0affirmed its significance as a key foreign market for the company. In Germany, revenue was\u00a0recorded at EUR 2.5 million or 4.8%, and declined in line with planning (2016: EUR 3.5 million\u00a0or 8.2%).<br \/>\nThe cost of materials ratio (in relation to total operating revenue) increased to 57.5% (2016:\u00a051.5%), which was attributable to the considerable upturn in the new systems business with aggressive pricing in the market. The personnel expense ratio (in relation to total operating\u00a0revenue) posted 24.0% due to revenue growth, which represents a considerable decline\u00a0compared with the year-earlier level (2016: 27.4%). All in all, the SMT Scharf Group generated\u00a0a significantly higher operating profit (EBIT) of EUR 4.5 million in the year under review (2016:\u00a0EUR 2.5 million). This resulted in an improved EBIT margin (in relation to total operating\u00a0revenue) of 8.6% (2016: 5.9%). Based on consolidated net income of EUR 4.0 million (2016:\u00a0EUR 1.5 million), earnings per share stood at EUR 0.94 2016: EUR 0.37).\u00a0New order intake amounted to EUR 51.5 million in the year under review (2016:\u00a0EUR 47.1 million). The order book position of the SMT Scharf Group stood at EUR 15.2 million\u00a0as of December 31, 2017 (December 31, 2016: EUR 15.8 million).<br \/>\n\u201cGiven the signs in the market, we anticipate that the industry\u2019s improved environment will hold\u00a0steady. In fiscal 2018, we take a conservative stance in our assumptions and anticipate\u00a0consolidated revenue in a range of between EUR 58 and 62 million, with EBIT settling in a\u00a0corridor of EUR 4.5 to 5.5 million. RDH\u2019s leading position in battery-driven vehicles in\u00a0particular, combined with SMT Scharf\u2019s international sales and after-sales expertise, harbours\u00a0great potential for the future. We expect positive effects on the revenue and profit trend in the\u00a0current fiscal year and the years ahead from RDH. We intend to take advantage of the upswing\u00a0in mining and to continue to grow profitably in our target markets,\u201d Thei\u00df says.\u00a0The 2017 Annual Report will be published over the course of today on the company\u2019s website\u00a0at www.smtscharf.de under the Investor Relations heading.<\/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.

Unter dem Strich konnte\u00a0<\/strong><strong>SMT Scharf das Konzernjahresergebnis im Vergleich zum Vorjahr auf 4,0 Mio. EUR\u00a0<\/strong><strong>(2016: 1,5 Mio. EUR) deutlich verbessern.<\/strong>\r\n\r\nDer Vorstandsvorsitzende der SMT Scharf AG, Hans Joachim Thei\u00df, kommentiert die\u00a0Gesch\u00e4ftsentwicklung 2017: \u201eMit der Entwicklung im Gesch\u00e4ftsjahr 2017 sind wir sehr\u00a0zufrieden. Unsere marktexpansive Strategie hat sich ausgezahlt und zu einem deutlichen\r\nUmsatz- und Ergebnisanstieg beigetragen. Auch die gestiegenen Rohstoffpreise und das\u00a0verbesserte Branchenumfeld haben sich positiv auf unser Gesch\u00e4ft ausgewirkt. Zu\u00a0Jahresbeginn 2018 haben wir mit der Gr\u00fcndung des zweiten vertriebsorientierten Joint\u00a0Ventures in China und der \u00dcbernahme des kanadischen Bergbauspezialisten RDH Mining\u00a0Equipment die Voraussetzungen f\u00fcr weiteres Wachstum geschaffen.\u201c\u00a0Im Schlussquartal 2017 erh\u00f6hte sich der Konzernumsatz um 6,3% auf 16,9 Mio. EUR\u00a0(Q4\/2016: 15,9 Mio. EUR), so dass der Konzernumsatz auf Jahressicht um 22,6% auf\u00a052,1 Mio. EUR (2016: 42,6 Mio. EUR) gestiegen ist. Analog erh\u00f6hte sich die Betriebsleistung\u00a0auf 53,1 Mio. EUR (2016: 42,2 Mio. EUR). Das Neuanlagen- und Servicegesch\u00e4ft entwickelte\u00a0sich positiv im Berichtsjahr, wobei der Umsatzanteil des Neugesch\u00e4fts angesichts verst\u00e4rkter\u00a0Investitionen von Bergwerksbetreibern auf 43,6% (2016: 32,4%) gestiegen ist. Daneben belief\u00a0sich der Umsatzanteil des Servicegesch\u00e4fts auf 56,4% (Vorjahr: 67,6%). Der weit\u00a0\u00fcberwiegende Teil des Konzernumsatzes entfiel mit 83,6% bzw. 43,6 Mio. EUR weiterhin auf\u00a0das Kohle-Segment (2016: 84,1% bzw. 35,8 Mio. EUR). Im Berichtsjahr 2017 erzielte SMT\u00a0Scharf rund 95% (2016: 92%) der Umsatzerl\u00f6se im Ausland. Der wichtigste Markt f\u00fcr SMT\u00a0Scharf war dabei weiterhin Russland (und GUS) mit einem Anteil von 32,6% bzw.\u00a017,0 Mio. EUR (2016: 29,8%, 12,7 Mio. EUR). Mit einem Anstieg des Umsatzanteils auf 27,1%\u00a0bzw. 14,1 Mio. EUR (2016: 19,3% bzw. 8,2 Mio. EUR) best\u00e4tigte auch China als der weltweit\u00a0gr\u00f6\u00dfte Kohleproduzent seine Bedeutung als wichtiger Auslandsmarkt f\u00fcr das Unternehmen.\u00a0In Deutschland ging der Umsatz mit 2,5 Mio. EUR beziehungsweise 4,8% planm\u00e4\u00dfig weiter\u00a0zur\u00fcck (2016: 3,5 Mio. EUR bzw. 8,2%).\r\n\r\nDie Materialaufwandsquote (in Relation zur Betriebsleistung) stieg auf 57,5% (2016: 51,5%),\u00a0was auf die deutliche Belebung des Neuanlagengesch\u00e4fts bei aggressiven Preisen am Markt\u00a0zur\u00fcckzuf\u00fchren ist. Die Personalaufwandsquote (in Relation zur Betriebsleistung) lag\u00a0aufgrund des gestiegenen Umsatzniveaus mit 24,0% deutlich unter dem Vorjahreswert (2016:\u00a027,4%). Insgesamt erzielte die SMT Scharf Gruppe im Berichtsjahr ein deutlich verbessertes\u00a0operatives Ergebnis (EBIT) von 4,5 Mio. EUR (2016: 2,5 Mio. EUR). Daraus resultierte eine\u00a0verbesserte EBIT-Marge (in Relation zur Betriebsleistung) von 8,6% (2016: 5,9%). Bei einem\u00a0Konzernjahresergebnis von 4,0 Mio. EUR (2016: 1,5 Mio. EUR) lag das Ergebnis je Aktie\u00a0entsprechend bei 0,94 EUR (2016: 0,37 EUR).\u00a0Der Auftragseingang betrug im Berichtsjahr 51,5 Mio. EUR (2016: 47,1 Mio. EUR). Daneben\u00a0lag der Auftragsbestand der SMT Scharf Gruppe zum 31. Dezember 2017 bei 15,2 Mio. EUR\u00a0(31. Dezember 2016: 15,8 Mio. EUR).\u00a0\u201eAngesichts der Signale im Markt erwarten wir ein weiterhin verbessertes Branchenumfeld.\u00a0F\u00fcr das Gesch\u00e4ftsjahr 2018 rechnen wir unter konservativen Pr\u00e4missen mit einem\u00a0Konzernumsatz in einer Spanne von 58 bis 62 Mio. Euro bei einem EBIT im Korridor von 4,5\u00a0bis 5,5 Mio. Euro. Insbesondere die f\u00fchrende Positionierung von RDH bei batteriebetriebenen\u00a0Fahrzeugen in Kombination mit SMT Scharfs internationaler Vertriebs- und After-SalesKompetenz\u00a0bietet gro\u00dfes Potenzial. So erwarten wir durch RDH positive Effekte auf die\u00a0Umsatz- und Ergebnisentwicklung f\u00fcr das laufende Gesch\u00e4ftsjahr und die kommenden Jahre.\u00a0Den Aufschwung im Bergbau wollen wir nutzen und in unseren Zielm\u00e4rkten weiter profitabel\u00a0wachsen\u201c, so Thei\u00df.\u00a0Der Konzernjahresfinanzbericht 2017 wird heute im Tagesverlauf unter www.smtscharf.de im\r\nInvestor-Relations-Bereich ver\u00f6ffentlicht.\r\n\r\n<strong>Unternehmensprofil SMT Scharf<\/strong>\r\nDie SMT Scharf Gruppe entwickelt, baut und wartet Transportausr\u00fcstungen f\u00fcr den Bergbau\u00a0unter Tage sowie f\u00fcr Tunnelbaustellen.
