Trading Update December 2021

Kortrijk, Belgium, 21 December 2021, 18:00 pm

Supply chain disruptions, including higher component prices, increased freight broker rates and higher logistics costs further negatively impacted the EBITDA for the current year.

While sales for 2021 are expected to grow mid-single digit year-over-year, in line with earlier guidance, EBITDA for the year is now expected to be in the range of 56 to 60 million euro.

Barco implemented price increases across its portfolio and regions and expects these price increases to benefit gross profit margin as of the first half of 2022.
