4. KUKA Q2 robot business situation

In 1986, KUKA entered the Chinese market and presented its first robot to FAW Trucks, which was the first industrial robot used in manufacturing in China at that time. Subsequently, domestic automobile companies such as Dongfeng and Changan became KUKA’s loyal customers.

Of KUKA’s overall revenue of 26.723 billion yuan in 2017, only the robot segment accounted for 38% of overall sales, of which the Chinese market accounted for approximately 20%. In terms of KUKA robot application fields, the proportion in the automotive field dropped from 46.4% in 2016 to 35.4%, while the proportion in other industrial fields increased from 36.6% to 45.3%, and the share in the service field increased from 17.0% to 19.3%. %. Due to the high proportion of robot business revenue in the field of automotive applications in overall revenue and the severe situation of China’s automobile production and sales in 2018-2019, KUKA’s industrial robot sales in China have also been affected.

The financial report shows that KUKA China’s new orders in Q1 totaled 173 million euros, a year-on-year increase of 121.5%. Affected by the macroeconomic environment, KUKA’s Q1 sales revenue in China fell 8.8% year-on-year to 94.2 million euros. However, operating profit was 5.1 million euros, a significant improvement from the loss of 1.4 million euros in the same period last year. In Q2, its operating income was 800 million euros, down 6% year-on-year; profit before interest and tax (EBIT) was 23.7 million euros, down 55% year-on-year. During the period, KUKA’s sales revenue in China was 130 million euros, a year-on-year increase of 1.9%; the order volume was 139 million euros, a 50% decrease from the same period last year.

3. The Japanese robot market continues to slow down in Q3, and the Chinese market leads Europe and the United States and accelerates to bottom out

1. Manufacturing fixed asset investment, automobile and mobile phone sales

From January to September, fixed asset investment in the electronics industry accumulated 11.6% year-on-year, continuing to pick up. From January to September, the cumulative fixed asset investment in my country’s manufacturing industry was 2.5% year-on-year, and the growth rate declined slightly. Among them, the fixed asset investment in the automobile manufacturing industry from January to September accumulated 1.8% year-on-year, and the growth rate has rebounded; the fixed asset investment in the electronics manufacturing industry from January to September accumulated 11.6% year-on-year, and the growth rate continued to pick up; the fixed assets in the electrical machinery manufacturing industry The cumulative investment amount from January to September was -7.6% year-on-year, and the rate of decline narrowed slightly.

Automobile production and sales: September car sales dropped to a narrow speed but increased the production speed. In September 2019, China ’s passenger car sales were 1.9306 million (6.3%year-on-year), and the cumulative sales of 15.24 million (12%year-on-year); the output in September was 1.8647 million Output 15.06 million (13%year -on -year).
