Fuchs Petrolub SE provided earnings guidance for the full year of 2020. For the year, the group achieved sales and earnings significantly above expectations in the fourth quarter 2020, in particular after a strong December. Thus, 2020 came in better than expected at the beginning of the fourth quarter. For the financial year 2020, FUCHS therefore only expects a decline in earnings (EBIT) in the mid-single-digit percentage range (previously EBIT decline in the range of negative 15%).
