Vestas Wind Systems AS on Wednesday cut full-year margin guidance amid accelerating transport and raw-material costs as well as component shortages, and announced that Chief Financial Officer Marika Fredriksson is stepping down.
由于运输和原材料成本加速以及零部件短缺，Vestas Wind Systems AS周三下调了全年利润率指引，并宣布首席财务长马里卡·弗雷德里克森(Marika Fredriksson)将辞职。
Hans Martin Smith, currently CFO of Vestas Northern & Central Europe, will take over as group CFO by March 1, it said.
该公司表示，现任维斯塔斯北欧和中欧首席财务官汉斯·马丁·史密斯(Hans Martin Smith)将在3月1日之前接任集团首席财务官。
The Danish wind-turbine maker posted a net profit of 122 million euros ($141.3 million) in the quarter from EUR284 million a year earlier, missing a company-compiled analyst consensus of EUR236 million. Revenue rose to EUR5.54 billion while pre-items earnings before interest and tax fell to EUR325 million.
这家丹麦风力涡轮机制造商公布第二季度净利润为1.22亿欧元(合1.413亿美元)，低于去年同期的2.84亿欧元，低于该公司编制的2.36亿欧元的分析师共识。收入增至55.4亿欧元，项目前息税前收益降至3.25亿欧元。
Order intake slipped to EUR3.0 billion from EUR3.1 billion, while the total turbine and service order backlog rose to EUR47.3 billion from EUR33.9 billion.
订单收入从31亿欧元下滑至30亿欧元，而涡轮机和服务订单总额从339亿欧元上升至473亿欧元。
"Supply chain instability and high component, material and transport costs [are] expected to last throughout 2022," Chief Executive Henrik Andersen said.
“供应链不稳定，零部件、材料和运输成本居高不下[是]预计将持续到2022年。“首席执行官亨里克·安德森(Henrik Andersen)说。
Earnings were also weighed by additional warranty provisions of EUR50 million to cover previously-announced blade repairs and upgrades, it added.
该公司补充称，收益也受到5000万欧元额外保修条款的拖累，以支付之前宣布的叶片维修和升级。
Vestas still expects revenue of EUR15.5 billion-EUR16.5 billion, but the pre-items EBIT margin is anticipated at around 4% from 5%-7% previously.
维斯塔斯仍预计收入为155亿欧元至165亿欧元，但项目前息税前利润率预计为4%左右，而此前为5%至7%。
