VARTA AG provided earnings guidance for the fiscal year 2020. The company is looking ahead to fiscal year 2020 with great optimism. The Group expects to further accelerate organic revenue and earnings growth in the current fiscal year. Production capacities are therefore to be significantly expanded again. Moreover, this will take place faster than originally planned: production capacities will be expanded to 200 million cells per year. In the current fiscal year, the first-time consolidation of the VARTA Consumer business, which was acquired on January 2, 2020, will generate even stronger growth in Group revenue and earnings.
