尽管来自计划的美国制裁和技术市场下降的影响，半年的结果符合前景。

• 收入增长3％至26.3亿达普，而艾比特在2018年上半年减少至294百万届
• 财务业绩受到计划恢复美国对伊朗的制裁和缓慢移动技术市场的影响。结果符合2018年的前景
• Topsoe计划将工作人员减少约200岁对此的结果计划对伊朗的制裁并确保与撤资有关其汽车和固定抵抗的业务领域的效率提升

Topsoe在2018年上半年提供了26.3亿日收入，而艾比特则达到294百万款，导致EBIT余量为11％。2018年上半年的毛利率为45％。

“Topsoe’s revenue and EBIT margin in the first half of 2018 are in line with our outlook. Revenue growth was driven by the catalyst business that has shown strong and resilient growth on the back of Topsoe’s continued market leading position. A lower EBIT was expected after a strong first half year in 2017, but the planned reinstatement of US sanctions on Iran as well as the slow-moving global technology market had a further adverse impact on our business,” says Bjerne S. Clausen, CEO, Topsoe.

The reinstatement of US sanctions on Iran has made it extremely difficult for Topsoe’s customers in Iran to finance new projects. This has resulted in slower progress of Iranian projects than anticipated at the beginning of the year. As a consequence thereof, Topsoe has decided to cease activities in Iran by November 2018.

Adjusting the organization
由于计划对伊朗的制裁并确保去年撤销其汽车和固定抵抗旦福克业务领域的效率提升，Topsoe计划将员工减少200左右。

“We want to ensure that Topsoe remains a competitive business with significant potential for growth. Therefore, due to the current situation, we must unfortunately say goodbye to a number of good colleagues,” says Bjerne S. Clausen, CEO, Haldor Topsoe.

与员工代表的谈判将确定条款和具体裁员。

展望未来

The market for technology for refineries and chemical plants has been declining globally for the past years. However, the downward trend seems to have been reversed, and an increase in new technology orders is expected during the coming years. Catalyst revenue grew by 16% despite price pressure in some markets. The full-year 2018 revenue outlook is expected to be in line with or slightly above comparable 2017 revenue, and EBIT margin is expected to be in the range of 10-12% in 2018, assuming the shutdown of the Iran activities proceeds according to plan and subject to redundancy cost.

On June 12, 2018, it was announced that the Topsøe family and Haldor Topsoe A/S had initiated a search process to find a potential minority investor in order to further develop the business. The intention is to further develop solutions that can help tackle some of the most pressing global challenges in the world today by securing sustainable energy supply, energy efficiency, and sufficient food supplies. Building on its core competencies, Topsoe has the potential to develop a leading position within new and sustainable technologies – also outside of its current business segments. This provides Topsoe with a broad range of opportunities and a strong platform for future growth.

Financial highlights

• 收入amounted to DKK 2,630 million, an increase of 3% compared to the same period in 2017. Catalyst revenue was up by 16% and technology revenue was down by 27% compared to the same period in 2017.
• Gross margin was 45%.
• EBITDA是42400万型，等于EBITDA余量为16％。
• EBIT为294百万，等于11％的艾比特利润率。
• 在营运资金变更之前的运营中的现金流量为411万迪克克。
• The equity ratio increased to 28.7% compared to 25.6% for the first half of 2017.
• 预计2018年全年的收入前景将符合或略高于可比2017年的收入，预计2018年的EBIT保证金将在10-12％的范围内，假设伊朗活动按计划进行了收益并受冗余成本。如果计划的美国对伊朗制裁的商业效应比11月份更加重现，它可能对全年收入和利润产生负面影响。
