Palfinger: The worldwide economic upswing following pandemic year 2020 had a significantly positive impact on the revenue and results of lifting solutions provider Palfinger in the 1st half of 2021.

Despite the cyberattack in January, EBIT increased by 137.8 percent to Euro 92.1 mn and net debt/EBITDA is now at 1.63, the lowest level since 2007.

Erste Group: Erste Group, lender in Central and Eastern Europe, continued its strong business performance in 2021 by posting a 24% year-on-year rise in its operating result to Euro 1.69 bn for the first half of the year (H1/2020: 1.36 billion euros). This was driven by solid net interest income, a significant rise in net fee and commission income and the strong increase in the net trading and fair value result. With the risk environment in the region remaining favourable in the first half of 2021, the banking group posted risk costs of 83 million euros, compared to 675 million euros a year earlier, when Erste undertook a front-loading response to the risk associated with the outbreak of the Covid crisis. The Group’s net profit increased to Euro 918 mn (H1/2020: 294 mn). The comparison to a pre-Corona year: net profit was 732 million euros for the first half of 2019. Erste Group CFO Stefan Dörfler: “As we’re a bank that’s closely linked to the real economy, the ongoing macro upswing is directly reflected in our balance sheet. A solid earnings situation, stable costs and a significantly lower volume of risk provisions compared to the Corona year 2020 have all contributed to a clear improvement in our half-year results. We are cautiously optimistic for the year 2021 as a whole, even as we are aware that much depends on the further course of the pandemic and its medium-term impact on the economy."
Erste Group: weekly performance: 3.61%

Raiffeisen Bank Inernational: The positive earnings trend from the first quarter continued in the second quarter. Consolidated profit substantially increased by 66 per cent to Euro 612 mn year-on-year. An expansion of business volumes, primarily in short-term lending, allowed for a stabilization of net interest income, which had been impacted by key interest rate cuts and currency devaluations. The increase in consolidated profit was also due to significantly lower loan loss provisions, which at Euro 110 mn were 65 per cent down on the comparable period. We have significantly improved our consolidated result compared to the same period of the previous year, successfully completed the acquisition of the Czech Equa bank and achieved great successes in the issuance and arrangement of green bonds," said Johann Strobl, CEO of RBI.

ams Osram: First half group revenues of ams Osram, a global leader in optical solutions, were USD 3,035 mn with comparable prior year figures not available due to the acquisition of OSRAM. Adjusted group gross margin for the first half 2021 was 34% with comparable prior year figures not available. Group net income was USD 174 mn for the first half with comparable prior year figures not available (excluding adjustments: USD -193 mn). Looking forward, CEO Alexander Everke says “ongoing tightness in chip supply and imbalances in supply chains continue to limit the ability to fully deliver against what is ongoing strong demand, particularly in the automotive market. I expect these imbalances to extend well into the latter part of the second half year. Short-term revenue drivers continue to be automotive lighting and consumer optical sensing in areas like display management and camera enhancement. At the same time, we are moving on integrated product roadmaps that will drive our position in mid-term growth markets including UV-C LED, advanced LED front lighting systems, AR, 3D applications, and more. AMS: weekly performance: 3.14%
