Frankfurt am Main, July 14, 2021. Brockhaus Capital Management AG (BKHT, ISIN: DE000A2GSU42, “BCM”), a long-term oriented technology group focused on acquiring high-margin and high-growth technology champions within the German Mittelstand, publishes preliminary figures for the first half of 2021.
In the first six months of fiscal year 2021, BCM Group generated revenue of €22.5 million, thus almost matching the prior-year level of €23.2 million (–3%). Order intake increased significantly in the first half of 2021, rising by +24% to €26.7 million (H1 2020: €21.6 million). Order backlog as of the end of June was €10.7 million, up +73% on the previous year’s reporting date (June 30, 2020: €6.2 million).
The order situation of BCM Group’s segments developed well in the first six months of 2021. The Environmental Technologies segment (Palas) achieved a sharp increase in order intake, which were up +39% to €10.5 million (H1 2020: €7.6 million). Order backlog as of June 30, 2021 was €4.1 million, up +58% on previous year’s reporting date (June 30, 2020: €2.6 million). Revenue was +63% higher, at €9.7 million (H1 2020: €6.0 million). Palas offers one of the leading technologies for high-precision measurement and characterization of even the smallest air particles, such as fine dust and nanoparticles. The Security Technologies segment (IHSE) generated dynamic growth in order intake, which was up by +15% to €16.1 million (H1 2020: €14.0 million). Order backlog as of end of June was €6.6 million, up +83% on previous year’s reporting date (June 30, 2020: €3.6 million). Revenue, which amounted to €12.7 million in the first half of 2021, however was still significantly below the prior-year period (H1 2020: €17.2 million).

As the coronavirus pandemic started to wane, BCM Group benefited from catch-up effects in the second quarter 2021 and saw revenue increase by +10% to €11.6 million in this period (Q2 2020: €10.6 million).
“The positive trend since April has continued. Due to the coronavirus pandemic and extensive due diligence activities in H1 2021, the Group’s adjusted EBITDA however will be below prior-year’s period. On the back of the visible improvement in the order situation as well as catch-up effects, we continue to expect a strong second half of 2021 for the Group in accordance with our current guidance” says BCM CEO Marco Brockhaus.
The performance indicators reported here are provisional and subject to change.

Impressions of our IPO on
14th July 2020
Private Wealth Excellence Forum 2019
Digitalisierung, Vermögensnachfolge & Co. – Das war das Private Wealth Excellence Forum 2019
Das Private Wealth Excellence Forum im Schlosshotel Kronberg bot Vertretern vermögender Familien bereits zum vierten Mal Gelegenheit zum Austausch in gediegener Atmosphäre. Neben Vorträgen zahlreicher Experten sorgten auch die Keynote-Referenten Hans Eichel und Martin Kind für Highlights.
Welche Bedeutung haben Kryptowährungen und die Blockchain-Technologie für Family Offices? Was sind angesichts des Niedrigzinsumfelds die besten liquiden und illiquiden Anlagelösungen? Und wie lassen sich die Interessen und Vermögen von Unternehmerfamilien über viele Generationen hinweg wahren und bewahren? Diese und andere Fragen diskutierten Experten und Gäste des Private Wealth Excellence Forum 2019 im Schlosshotel Kronberg nahe Frankfurt.
Volles Programm
Das Rahmenprogramm umfasste zahlreiche Impulsvorträge, Podiumsdiskussionen, Roundtables und immer wieder Vier-Augen-Gespräche. Dabei im Fokus standen Themen wie die fortschreitende Digitalisierung, die steuerliche Behandlung von Familienvermögen oder deren Übertragung an folgende Generationen. Zugleich kam auch die Bedeutung von Private Equity, Club Deals oder nachhaltigen Investments nicht zu kurz.
Die Podiumsdiskussionen moderierte Tatjana Anderer, Gründerin und Herausgeberin FYB Publishing. Sie diskutierte mit ihren Gästen Marco Brockhaus, Chef von Brockhaus Capital Management und Claus Kühn, Geschäftsführer des HFO Hamburg Family Office sowie Matthias Hornberger, Finanzchef von Atevia und des VC-Unternehmens Kizzo.de und Peter Klose, Geschäftsführender Gesellschafter von Madaus Capital Partners, die Themen „Family Offices & das breite Spektrum bei Private Equity“ beziehungsweise „Sind Family Offices die neuen Private Equity & Venture Capital Player?“
Einblicke in den Maschinenraum
Einblicke in den Maschinenraum boten unter anderem Achim Lehmann, Geschäftsführer des Ensinger Family Office und Ulrich Bergmoser, Geschäftsführer und Finanzchef von Reimann Investors: Lehmann berichtete vom aufwendigen, aber erfolgreichen Prozess hin zu einer funktionierenden Family Governance vor dem Hintergrund der Frage: Wie gestaltet man die Zukunft einer Familie, ohne ihre DNA zu verlieren? Eine zentrale Erkenntnis: Traditionen sind von entscheidender Bedeutung, um langfristig erfolgreich zu sein, muss man aber auch dem Neuen Raum geben und Innovationen zulassen.
Als Basis langfristigen Erfolgs bei Venture-Capital-Investments machte Ulrich Bergmoser von Reimann Investors die seit der Dotcom-Blase wesentlich verbesserte Feinabstimmung zwischen Beteiligungen und Anteilseignern aus. Nur wenn beide Seiten gut zueinander passen, klappe es mit der Risikodämpfung und man habe die Chance, zu den Top 10 der Venture-Capital-Investoren zu gehören, so Bergmoser.
Basis langfristigen Erfolgs
Besondere Highlights bildeten die Vorträge von Bundesfinanzminister a.D. Hans Eichel und Hörgeräte-Ketten-Chef Martin Kind. SPD-Politiker Eichel sprach über das Verhältnis Deutschlands und Europas zu den USA, China und Russland im 21. Jahrhundert. Ein Fazit: Es brauche dringend wieder Politiker von Format, die sich für Europa stark machen.
Unternehmer Martin Kind, der zugleich Geschäftsführer von Hannover 96 ist, referierte zum Thema „Erfolge und große Ziele im Fußball und Unternehmen“. Dabei zog der 75-Jährige Parallelen zwischen seinem Verein und dem von ihm gegründeten Unternehmen, das als deutscher Marktführer bei Hörgeräten ungleich erfolgreicher ist als aktuell 96.
Abgerundet wurde die Veranstaltung vom Get-Together in einer urigen Almhütte hinter dem Schlosshotel gefolgt von einem Gala-Dinner. Das kommende Private Wealth Excellence Forum für die DACH-Region findet am 2. und 3. November im Kempinski Hotel Frankfurt Gravenbruch statt. Auf europäischer Ebene kommt man bereits zuvor am 11. und 12. Mai 2020 im Grande Real Villa Itália Hotel & Spa in Portugal zusammen.
