Munich, Germany -- The Managing Board of OSRAM Licht AG (OSRAM) yesterday, September 16th, raised the guidance for the fiscal year 2020 today due to stronger business recovery in summer, in particular in August.

OSRAM now expects a comparable revenue decline of approximately -14 percent (previously -15 to -19 percent), an adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 8 percent (previously: 3 to 6 percent) and a balanced free cash flow (previously: negative Free Cash Flow in the middle double digit to lower triple digit million range).

Especially the business units Opto Semiconductors (OS) and Automotive (AM) were supported by improved business conditions in its core markets in China and the U.S.

Furthermore, the consistent implementation of measures taken to moderate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic contributes significantly to stabilize profit and Free Cash Flow.
