Lenzing: The business performance of the Lenzing Group, a leading global supplier of specialty fibers for the textile and nonwovens industries, during the first quarter of 2023 largely reflected market trends. However, after the market environment had deteriorated significantly in the third and fourth quarters of the previous year, signs of recovery emerged during the first quarter in terms of demand as well as raw material and energy costs. Textile fibers recorded moderate but steadily improving demand. Business with fibers for nonwovens and with dissolving wood pulp performed better than expected. Raw material and energy costs were still at an elevated albeit decreasing level. Revenues increased by 1.3 percent compared to the prior-year quarter to EUR 623.1 mn. This growth was primarily due to higher pulp revenues, while fiber revenues were down. As a consequence, earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) decreased by 66.2 percent year-on-year to EUR 29.7 mn in the first quarter of 2023. The net result for the reporting period amounted to minus EUR 64.9 mn (compared with EUR 34.1 mn in the first quarter of 2022).
Lenzing: weekly performance: -5.06%

FACC: The ongoing recovery of air traffic led to a significant revenue increase in the first quarter: FACC AG, worldwide leading aerospace company in design, development and production of aerospace technologies and advanced aircraft lightweight systems, closed the first quarter of 2023 with revenue growth of 27.6% compared to the previous year. This is due to the significantly improved market environment which is, however, still affected by disruptions in international supply chains and persistently high inflation. This is also reflected in the operating result at the end of the first quarter of 2023. For the year as a whole, the management of FACC AG continues to expect an increase in revenue in the high single-digit percentage range as well as a gradual improvement in earnings.
FACC: weekly performance: -3.98%
