Euler Hermes bestätigt erneut das Investment-Grade Rating der Grammer AG Amberg, 26. Juni 2019 – Die Euler Hermes Rating GmbH hat in ihrem aktuellen Bericht das Investment Grade Rating für die Grammer AG bestätigt. Jedoch wurde das Rating von BBB auf BBB- gesenkt. Ausschlaggebend hierfür sind das gestiegene Verschuldungsniveau durch die Akquisition der Toledo Molding & Die. Inc. sowie zunehmende marktseitige Herausforderungen im Automotive-Segment. Für die kommenden 12 Monate erwartet Euler Hermes aufgrund des guten Auftragsbestandes der Grammer AG eine stabile Entwicklung des Ratings.
Im aktuellen Rating der Grammer AG spiegelt sich ferner sowohl die solide Finanzierung als auch die daraus folgende gute finanzielle Flexibilität wider.
Weiter hebt Euler Hermes die gute weltweite Positionierung des Grammer Konzerns mit Entwicklungs- und Produktionskapazitäten in den wichtigsten weltweiten Regionen hervor. Daneben wird die Technologie- und Qualitätsführerschaft in den Kernsegmenten mit Blick auf Trendthemen wie autonomes Fahren, Mobilitätskonzepte, Digitalisierung sowie die zunehmende Elektrifizierung von Fahrzeugen als strategischer Vorteil angesehen.
Euler Hermes erwartet eine weltweit mittel- bis langfristig moderate Absatzentwicklung für Pkw und Nutzfahrzeuge, von der Grammer als Zulieferer profitieren wird. Die Diversifikation über verschiedene Produkte, Kunden und Regionen stellt aus Sicht der Rating Agentur eine weitere Stärke dar.
Euler Hermes Rating sieht im Zusammenhang mit der Übernahme der Toledo Molding & Die, Inc. ein verbessertes Diversifikationsprofil und eine Verstärkung des Marktzugangs in der NAFTA-Region für Grammer.
Zusammenfassend bewertet die Ratingagentur das Geschäftsrisiko der Grammer AG unverändert als leicht erhöht. Das Finanzrisiko stellt sich nach Meinung der Analysten als moderat dar, obwohl sich Ertragskraft und Rentabilität 2018 durch WLTP-bedingte Umsatzrückgänge sowie Übernahmeaufwendungen abschwächten. Die Grammer AG verfügt außerdem über gute Strukturen, Prozesse und Systeme zur Handhabung operationeller Risiken.

Fisker electric SUV teaser shows off a unique D-pillar turn signal
Road/Show by CNET article by ANDREW KROK
This is the first time we've seen anything of its rear end.
There's bound to still be a turn signal in the taillight, right?
Henrik Fisker is determined to make it happen again. After launching the plug-in hybrid Fisker Karma, and subsequently abandoning the project and off-loading its IP to the group that eventually started Karma Automotive, the automotive designer is preparing to launch his next vehicular venture. We've only seen hints of the front end, but now, it's time to take a look 'round back.
Henrik Fisker this week tweeted out a teaser for his upcoming electric SUV. It's the first time we've seen even part of the rear end, and it looks pretty interesting, especially the body line that rises well above the shoulder line as it works its way back toward the D-pillar. The roof looks to have a bit of a fastback angle to it, and the taillights (what we can see, at least) look plenty slim.
The most interesting bit, however, is an integrated turn signal in the D-pillar. According to Fisker's tweet, it's meant to “provide extra safety when you change lanes.” Additional lane-change signals are not necessarily new, but the overwhelming majority of them are slapped on the side-view mirrors. This is a unique location to put a marker, considering turn signals are usually integrated into the taillight structure.
So far, we've only seen hints of the unnamed SUV's front end. It's an interesting look, with headlights that have more than a hint of Range Rover in them, with some properly bulky fenders and bumpers that give the ute a little more rugged look than one might expect from a tech-forward electric vehicle. It's unclear when we'll get to see the whole thing, but given Fisker's timeline, it shouldn't be too far down the road.
Fisker first announced his intention to build an electric SUV in March. He estimates that the car will have an all-electric range north of 300 miles, yet its price tag is aiming below $40,000, which would make it one heck of a deal. The hope is that it'll come out in 2021, but before that, a drivable prototype is expected to make an appearance before the end of this year.
Here's the front-quarter teaser that debuted earlier this year, in case you haven't seen it or forgot what it looks like.
