HARTMANN starts 1st quarter with lower earnings

The rising costs of materials, transportation, and energy, already on the rise since last year, significantly impacted HARTMANN's business performance in the first three months of 2022. The outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war exacerbated this development even further. By contrast, for the first time since its outbreak, the coronavirus pandemic no longer had a significant impact on business development. No positive effects materialized as a result of the extraordinary economic situation caused by the pandemic and the market gradually returned to normal, albeit at a reduced level.

Financial year 2021 characterized by coronavirus and progress in the Transformation Program

The 2021 financial year was again dominated by the strong impact of the coronavirus and progress with the Transformation Program. The expected decline in key financial figures is mainly due to the pandemic. The pandemic-related extraordinary demand for disinfectants and personal protective equipment subsided as our customers meanwhile had large supplies on stock. There continued to be a reduced market with low bed occupancy rates in medical facilities and only a gradual increase in the number of surgeries and visits to doctors and pharmacies. Significantly higher material and transport costs also had an impact. By contrast, the strategic Transformation Program had a very positive impact on Group earnings.
