RATIONAL Aktiengesellschaft provided earnings guidance for the year 2022. The company anticipated sales revenue growth of 10% to 15% compared with the previous year and an EBIT margin slightly up on the previous year. The company expected slower sales revenue growth and an EBIT margin below that of the previous year.

In a friendlier environment with stable availability of parts and positive effects from price increases and foreign currencies, a sales revenue level at the upper end of the forecast or slightly higher is realistic. Since the continuing cost pressure has a negative impact of the EBIT margin, Rational also expects an EBIT in line with the original expectations in absolute terms.
