EBIT was EUR 124.6 million (previous year: EUR 133.7 million), slightly below the previous year, but above plan and overall still at a good level despite the general economic turmoil due to the COVID 19 pandemic. Thanks to a good cash flow, also due to efficiency improvements in working capital, a noticeable reduction in debt was achieved. The business development for the first seven months of the current 2021 financial year is also above the corresponding period of the previous year. Nevertheless, risks remain, especially in connection with the ongoing Covid 19 pandemic and the shortage of available raw materials.

    The existing rating is confirmed at A, and the outlook is raised from negative to stable.
    In the 2020 financial year, sales revenue amounted to EUR 3.27 billion after EUR 3.12 billion in the previous year. EBIT was EUR 124.6 million (previous year EUR 133.7 million), slightly below the previous year but above plan and overall still at a good level despite the general economic turmoil due to the COVID 19 pandemic. Thanks to a good cash flow, also due to efficiency improvements in working capital, a noticeable reduction in debt was achieved. The business development for the first four months of the current financial year 2021 also continues to be stable to positive. Nevertheless, risks - especially in connection with the still ongoing Covid 19 pandemic - remain in our view for the time being.
  • 12.10.2020
    Creditreform Rating has set the corporate rating of Zeppelin GmbH to A with a negative outlook. The negative outlook is due to the ongoing macroeconomic upheavals from the COVID-19 pandemic, which also characterize Zeppelin's figures during the year as of August 31, 2020. Nevertheless, sales and EBT are on target. Despite the persistently difficult situation in the crisis regions of Russia and Ukraine as well as the current conflict in Armenia, the negative economic and cyclical effects from the COVID-19 pandemic and the burdens from strategic development, the Zeppelin Group continues to impress.
