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.
由於運輸和原材料成本加速以及零部件短缺，Vestas Wind Systems AS週三下調了全年利潤率指引，並宣佈首席財務長馬裏卡·弗雷德裏克森(Marika Fredriksson)將辭職。
Hans Martin Smith, currently CFO of Vestas Northern & Central Europe, will take over as group CFO by March 1, it said.
該公司表示，現任維斯塔斯北歐和中歐首席財務官漢斯·馬丁·史密斯(Hans Martin Smith)將在3月1日之前接任集團首席財務官。
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.
這家丹麥風力渦輪機制造商公佈第二季度淨利潤為1.22億歐元(合1.413億美元)，低於去年同期的2.84億歐元，低於該公司編制的2.36億歐元的分析師共識。收入增至55.4億歐元，項目前息税前收益降至3.25億歐元。
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.
訂單收入從31億歐元下滑至30億歐元，而渦輪機和服務訂單總額從339億歐元上升至473億歐元。
"Supply chain instability and high component, material and transport costs [are] expected to last throughout 2022," Chief Executive Henrik Andersen said.
“供應鏈不穩定，零部件、材料和運輸成本居高不下[是]預計將持續到2022年。“首席執行官亨裏克·安德森(Henrik Andersen)説。
Earnings were also weighed by additional warranty provisions of EUR50 million to cover previously-announced blade repairs and upgrades, it added.
該公司補充稱，收益也受到5000萬歐元額外保修條款的拖累，以支付之前宣佈的葉片維修和升級。
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.
維斯塔斯仍預計收入為155億歐元至165億歐元，但項目前息税前利潤率預計為4%左右，而此前為5%至7%。
