* Sales increase to EUR 750.7 million
* Significant increase in earnings

According to the communicated outlook of the management, sales again increased
according to the market development. Overall, sales in 2017/18 improved by 6.4 %
to EUR 750.7 million after EUR 705.7 million in the previous year. The increase
is primarily attributable to the stable development of the aerospace industry

achieved too. According to preliminary figures, operating EBIT in the 2017/18
financial year increased by 93.1 % to EUR 48.3 million (2016/17: EUR 25.0
million). After taking one off effects into account, EBIT increased to 152.8 %
or EUR 63.2 million.
With net debt of around EUR 182.0 million based on preliminary figures, FACC was
not only down 7.6 % on the previous year's figure of EUR 197.0 million, but was
also able to cope with the increase in operating performance as well as to
improve the cash flow significantly by EUR 15.0 million.
