Press Overview

BayWa AG is reporting a substantial year-on-year rise in revenues of 10.4% to roughly €4.3 billion for the first three months of the current financial year 2021 (Q1/2020: €3.9 billion). Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) rose significantly in the reporting period, increasing from minus €27.8 million in the comparable period in the previous year to €45.1 million. The positive business development was reflected in all three core operating segments: Energy Segment, Agriculture Segment and Building Materials Segment.

The new company brochure "Living the future together" shows how BayWa serves the basic human needs – food, shelter, warmth and mobility – and which solutions the company develops to keep fulfilling this supply mandate also in future and under changing requirements.

The BayWa Group developed positively overall in 2020, despite the restrictions in many aspects of life and business as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. In certain business units, the corporate goals for the reporting year were exceeded by a substantial margin. Total revenues increased by 0.6% to €17,155.4 million in the reporting year. Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) improved by 14.2% to €215.2 million. All operating segments contributed to the rise in earnings. In 2020, the BayWa Group once again benefited from its heavily diversified business activities and its strategic orientation towards international markets, as well as from forward-looking business areas and business models.
