SG&A – Peer comparison
GEA | CMD | March 12, 2018
• Reported SG&A ratio above peers (+3pp)
while total overheads in line with peer
average
– No adjustments for strategic
projects (~€54m/ ~1.2%p) and PPA
amortization (~€20m/ 0.4%p) made3
• Peer comparison challenging since:
– GEA business model as well as
portfolio/industry exposure differ
from that of peers
– peers have higher share of
commodity business
– peers tend to leverage more agents
compared to GEA
• GEA’s diversified client portfolio creates
stability, but comes with some
complexity cost1. Alfa Laval, JBT Corporation, Marel, SPX Flow 2. Gross margin minus EBIT 3. Figures relate to SG&A ratio; adjusted as part of operating EBIT (cf. Annual report)
