So the offer is for the remaining outstanding shares approximately 20 million shares. Schaeffler has arranged a comprehensive financing package including an acquisition bridge facility to finance the tender offer. The financing package is fully underwritten by Bank of America, BNP Paribas and Citigroup, which act as financial advisors to Schaeffler. The acceptance period is expected to last until mid-December 2023. Schaeffler expects the tender offer to be closed in January 2024. The completion of the overall transaction is expected to take place in the fourth quarter of 2024.공시 • Aug 19Schaeffler AG Develops Next-Generation Bipolar Plates for Fuel Cell DrivesSchaeffler AG is demonstrating its development capabilities in the field of hydrogen-powered mobility with a new generation of metallic bipolar plates for PEM fuel cells. All fuel cell systems rely on bipolar plates. But the plates developed by Schaeffler feature a new design optimized for large-series production and leverage an innovative coating process for long fuel cell life. Moreover, stacks made using the new Schaeffler plates achieve a power density about 20% greater than that of stacks made using previous-generation plates. At a purpose-built pilot production facility in Herzogenaurach, the company is now manufacturing the new plates in runs of up to several tens of thousands of units for use by international vehicle manufacturers in prototype and small-series production. Schaeffler is due to start production of bipolar plates under the name of Innoplate, a joint venture with Symbio, in Haguenau, France, at the start of 2024. To the untrained eye, bipolar plates aren't much to look at, being only about the size of a DIN A4 envelope and weighing just 60 grams. But they are core components of fuel cells, where they perform a number of vital functions, including providing channels both for the separation and distribution of the process gasses and coolant and for the removal of the water resulting from the chemical reaction. For vehicle applications, several hundred of these plates are layered on top of one another, each separated by a membrane electrode assembly (MEA), to form a stack. The plates account for up to 80% of the stack’s weight, and up to 65% of its volume. Stacks comprising up to 400 of these cell units have a total power output of up to 140 kW – enough for light commercial vehicles. Heavy commercial vehicles up to 40 tons generally require two stacks. Schaeffler’s new generation of bipolar plates is also designed from the ground up for industrialization at large scale – an approach known as design for manufacturing (DFM). The aim is to achieve a level of cost-effectiveness and scalability of manufacturing sufficient for hydrogen-powered mobility to reach market breakthrough. In terms of production, the company is leveraging its many years of experience and expertise in metal stamping and forming, and has achieved the high level of precision needed to stamp the necessary ultrafine structures on the surface of the plates, which have a thickness of only 50 to 100 micrometers. Another unique feature of the metallic bipolar plates made by Schaeffler is the coating system used. The purpose of coatings is to maintain a high level of electrical conductivity over the fuel cell’s entire service life. Schaeffler’s solution is “Enertect” – a family of high-performance coating systems developed specifically for bipolar plates. Depending on the customer’s requirements, the coatings can be engineered for maximum plate service life, minimum carbon footprint, or an optimized price-performance ratio.공시 • May 28+ 1 more updateSchaeffler AG to Report First Half, 2024 Results on Aug 06, 2024Schaeffler AG announced that they will report first half, 2024 results on Aug 06, 2024공시 • May 27+ 1 more updateSchaeffler AG to Report Fiscal Year 2023 Results on Mar 06, 2024Schaeffler AG announced that they will report fiscal year 2023 results at 8:00 AM, Central European Standard Time on Mar 06, 2024공시 • Sep 17+ 2 more updatesSchaeffler AG to Report Nine Months, 2023 Results on Nov 08, 2023Schaeffler AG announced that they will report nine months, 2023 results on Nov 08, 2023공시 • Sep 16+ 1 more updateSchaeffler AG to Report Fiscal Year 2022 Results on Mar 07, 2023Schaeffler AG announced that they will report fiscal year 2022 results on Mar 07, 2023매출 및 비용 세부 내역Schaeffler가 돈을 벌고 사용하는 방법. 최근 발표된 LTM 실적 기준.순이익 및 매출 추이OTCPK:SCFL.F 매출, 비용 및 순이익 (EUR Millions)날짜매출순이익일반관리비연구개발비30 Jun 2416,3813071,92878631 Mar 2416,2464131,87377131 Dec 2316,3133101,82576830 Sep 2316,2894981,79878130 Jun 2316,4695741,77277531 Mar 2316,2035491,76977031 Dec 2215,8095571,73576830 Sep 2215,2966201,69076330 Jun 2214,3865421,62276231 Mar 2214,0506571,55475931 Dec 2113,8527561,53574830 Sep 2113,9717141,50972330 Jun 2114,0313961,46570531 Mar 2112,868-71,39968431 Dec 2012,589-4281,39468430 Sep 2012,552-5881,39972130 Jun 2012,773-2061,47276031 Mar 2014,0861051,55081231 Dec 1914,4274281,57584930 Sep 1914,3666041,58884030 Jun 1914,2746481,57284731 Mar 1914,3127801,56385231 Dec 1814,2418811,53184730 Sep 1814,2559511,50186230 Jun 1814,1681,0011,47286231 Mar 1813,9989391,45285831 Dec 1714,0219801,45184630 Sep 1713,8419781,43682230 Jun 1713,6728501,43280131 Mar 1713,5698851,41577931 Dec 1613,3388591,38875130 Sep 1613,1987421,37372930 Jun 1613,1707761,36970131 Mar 1613,1836771,37568131 Dec 1513,1795911,36967330 Sep 1513,0587361,38365930 Jun 1512,8557531,36065831 Mar 1512,4876011,32164331 Dec 1412,1246541,28262231 Dec 1311,2051271,244611양질의 수익: SCFL.F는 고품질 수익을 보유하고 있습니다.이익 마진 증가: SCFL.F의 현재 순 이익률 (1.9%)은 지난해 (3.5%)보다 낮습니다.잉여현금흐름 대비 순이익 분석과거 순이익 성장 분석수익추이: SCFL.F의 수익은 지난 5년 동안 연평균 14.4% 증가했습니다.성장 가속화: SCFL.F은 지난 1년 동안 수익이 감소하여 5년 평균과 비교할 수 없습니다.수익 대 산업: SCFL.F은 지난 1년 동안 수익이 감소(-46.5%)하여 Auto Components 업계 평균(10.7%)과 비교하기 어렵습니다.자기자본이익률높은 ROE: SCFL.F의 자본 수익률(8.5%)은 낮음으로 평가됩니다.총자산이익률투하자본수익률우수한 과거 실적 기업을 찾아보세요7D1Y7D1Y7D1YAutomobiles 산업에서 과거 실적이 우수한 기업.View Financial Health기업 분석 및 재무 데이터 상태데이터최종 업데이트 (UTC 시간)기업 분석2024/10/02 10:21종가2024/10/02 00:00수익2024/06/30연간 수익2023/12/31데이터 소스당사의 기업 분석에 사용되는 데이터는 S&P Global Market Intelligence LLC에서 제공됩니다. 아래 데이터는 이 보고서를 생성하기 위해 분석 모델에서 사용됩니다. 데이터는 정규화되므로 소스가 제공된 후 지연이 발생할 수 있습니다.패키지데이터기간미국 소스 예시 *기업 재무제표10년손익계산서현금흐름표대차대조표SEC 양식 10-KSEC 양식 10-Q분석가 컨센서스 추정치+3년재무 예측분석가 목표주가분석가 리서치 보고서Blue Matrix시장 가격30년주가배당, 분할 및 기타 조치ICE 시장 데이터SEC 양식 S-1지분 구조10년주요 주주내부자 거래SEC 양식 4SEC 양식 13D경영진10년리더십 팀이사회SEC 양식 10-KSEC 양식 DEF 14A주요 개발10년회사 공시SEC 양식 8-K* 미국 증권에 대한 예시이며, 비(非)미국 증권에는 해당 국가의 규제 서식 및 자료원을 사용합니다.별도로 명시되지 않는 한 모든 재무 데이터는 연간 기간을 기준으로 하지만 분기별로 업데이트됩니다. 이를 TTM(최근 12개월) 또는 LTM(지난 12개월) 데이터라고 합니다. 자세히 알아보기.분석 모델 및 스노우플레이크이 보고서를 생성하는 데 사용된 분석 모델에 대한 자세한 내용은 당사의 Github 페이지에서 확인하실 수 있습니다. 또한 보고서 활용 방법에 대한 가이드와 YouTube 튜토리얼도 제공합니다.Simply Wall St 분석 모델을 설계하고 구축한 세계적 수준의 팀에 대해 알아보세요.산업 및 섹터 지표산업 및 섹터 지표는 Simply Wall St가 6시간마다 계산하며, 프로세스에 대한 자세한 내용은 Github에서 확인할 수 있습니다.분석가 소스Schaeffler AG는 21명의 분석가가 다루고 있습니다. 이 중 10명의 분석가가 우리 보고서에 입력 데이터로 사용되는 매출 또는 수익 추정치를 제출했습니다. 분석가의 제출 자료는 하루 종일 업데이트됩니다.분석가기관Romain GourvilBerenbergHorst SchneiderBofA Global ResearchRoss MacDonaldCitigroup Inc18명의 분석가 더 보기
