CONTINUED DOUBLE-DIGIT QUARTERLY GROWTH

With the global automotive market once again experiencing growth, AKWEL recorded an 11.9% increase in reported revenue in the second quarter of 2023 and a 17.7% increase comparing like-for-like figures. The Group posted a fifth consecutive quarter of double-digit growth, approaching 2019's performance, the last standard financial year before the pandemic and the decline on the global market. The foreign exchange impact over the quarter was -€14m, including -€10.0m on the Turkish lira and -€1.7m on the US dollar.

In the first half, AKWEL's revenue growth comparing like-for-like figures was +16.2%.

BREAKDOWN OF HALF-YEAR REVENUE

The geographical breakdown of revenue by production zone was as follows during the six-month period:

  • France: €153.5m (+12.2%)
  • Europe (excluding France) and Africa: €159.6m (+17.5%)
  • North America: €152.0m (+5.4%)

Meanwhile, Tooling revenue increased by 16.4% to €12.8m.

NET CASH POSITION OF €101.1m

The consolidated net cash position excluding lease obligations and after the dividend payout progressed to €101.1m at 30 June 2023, with €23.8m in investments made over the half-year period.

2023 OUTLOOK

Given the performance achieved in the first half of the year and the more favourable business outlook for the automotive and HGV sector worldwide, AKWEL confirms that it expects around 10% revenue growth in the 2023 financial year.

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SHARE BUYBACK PROGRAMME

In connection with the implementation of the share buyback programme, authorised by the General Meeting of 25 May 2023 (20th resolution), AKWEL signed a share buyback agreement with the investment service provider Gilbert Dupont. This takes effect today and will cover a maximum of €133.4 million, corresponding to a maximum purchase price of €50 and a maximum number of shares of 2,668,060. The purpose of the programme is to cancel the shares thus redeemed, under the conditions provided for by law.

The authorisation granted by the General Meeting is valid until 25 November 2024.
