Zumtobel: The lightning group Zumtobel reported figures for the first nine months of the 2018/19 financial year. The difficult market environment, political uncertainty and negative currency translation effects impacted revenue development. The revenues odeclined 4.9 % to  Euro 863.8 mn (FX- adjusted minus 3.8%). Group EBIT adjusted for special effects rose to Euro 23.9 mn in the first three quarters of 2018/19 (Q1– Q3 2017/18: Euro 20.5 mn), and the return on sales improved from 2.3% to 2.8%. The improvement in the Group’s profitability resulted, above all, from the efficiency and cost savings measures which were introduced by the Management Board. Net loss for the period amounted to minus Euro 6.1 mn for the first three quarters of 2018/19 due to negative special effects of Euro 16.8 mn  from restructuring measures and the market-related decline in revenues. The restructuring costs resulted primarily from the streamlining of the management team and from the gradual shutdown of production at the components plant in Jennersdorf, Austria. “The realignment of the Zumtobel Group is progressing. We implemented a range of measures in the first three quarters to strengthen revenues and earnings. Despite an increasingly intense global competition and the related decline in earnings, we successfully improved our profitability,” commented Zumtobel Group CEO Alfred Felder on the results of the first three quarters.

Raiffeisen Bank International: There have been various media reports that a complaint about suspicion of money laundering activity has been filed with the Vienna Public Prosecutor’s Office against Corruption. Past involvement of Raiffeisen Zentralbank in these activities has also been mentioned in the media. According ro Raiffeisen Bank International (RBI), the complaint is filed against an unnamed party, and therefore at the current time Raiffeisen Bank International is not familiar with the concrete allegations and does not have any further information on the content of the complaint. In the past, some of these allegations were already subject to intensive investigations at RBI on the part of the regulatory and legal authorities and confirmed to be unfounded, the bank stated in a press release. RBI said it complies with all anti-money laundering requirements. Its compliance systems and processes have been, and continue to be, regularly reviewed by external parties and are confirmed to be in compliance with the legal requirements. Nevertheless RBI takes the allegations in the media very seriously and is conducting an internal investigation, the bank stated.
