Earnings before taxes (EBT) of \u20ac3.5 million ($3.8 million) were generated in the 2019 financial year, a significant decrease when compared to \u20ac6.1 million seen in 2018. <\/p>\n
Operating earnings (EBIT) of \u20ac4 million were slightly up on the previous year\u2019s level of \u20ac3.8 million. <\/p>\n
Revenue also rose by 11.6 per cent from \u20ac52.7 million to \u20ac58.8 million due to the expansion of the fleet and the increase in charter income.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
During the year, Ernst Russ continued to pursue its maritime strategy successfully by disposing of its subsidiaries in the solar and investor management segments and other group companies. These transactions also enabled significant streamlining of the group structure and a considerable reduction in liability risks. <\/p>\n
