Due to strong financial results and based on the expectation of ongoing positive prospects for the second half of financial year 2017, the management board of OSRAM Licht AG (OSRAM) decided today to raise the forecast for financial year 2017 as follows: Comparable growth

In addition, OSRAM expects earnings per share (diluted, continued operations) in a range of EUR2.70-2.90 (previously: EUR2.35-2.65) and confirms the guidance for free cash flow at break-even.

In the second quarter of financial year 2017, based on preliminary results, OSRAM achieved for its continued operations revenues of EUR1.05 billion (9.7% comp. growth), an adjusted EBITDA-margin of 17.4% and earnings per share (diluted) of EUR0.81.
