Outlook

Although the uncertainty remains in how the pandemic might still impact some regions like India and Brazil, evident signs of recovery are visible in many product segments. Fiven expects the demand to continue at a good pace throughout the year, driven by the prospect of further economic recovery worldwide.  A strong selling price discipline is implemented to compensate for inflation and raw material and power cost increases.

Forecasted revenue growth for 2021 vs. 2020 is expected to be near 20%. The adjusted EBITDA for the year 2021 is expected to be in the range of EUR 20m – 22m, including a positive impact of EUR 1.4m from IFRS 16.
