SURTECO GROUP SE: Development of sales and earnings continue on course
Buttenwiesen, 31 July 2024 – In the first half year of 2024, sales of the SURTECO Group at € 447.6 million increased by +4 % compared with the equivalent year-earlier value of € 428.8 million, in spite of difficult framework conditions. The ongoing weak demand was offset by the full consolidation of the Omnova divisions (in the previous year only for 4 months). On the earnings side, an improved cost of materials ratio and effects generated from the Performance Plus programme resulted in a significant increase in the adjusted earnings before financial result, income tax and depreciation and amortization (adjusted EBITDA) by +26 % to € 57.0 million (2023: € 45.1 million). The reported EBITDA – not including adjustment by transaction and integration costs, PPA step-up inventories and consultancy costs – went up by +60 % to € 56.4 million after € 35.3 million in the previous year. Consolidated net profit in the first half year of 2024 amounted to € 13.8 million, after a loss of € -4.0 million incurred during the previous year resulting from one-off expenses. As a consequence, earnings per share rose from € -0.26 in the previous year to the current value of € 0.89. SURTECO therefore confirms the forecast for the business year 2024 as a whole with sales in the range between € 860 million and € 910 million and adjusted EBITDA in the range between € 85 million and € 105 million. “As a result of our consistent cost discipline and our measures generated by the Performance Plus programme, we are on course for meeting our annual targets in an ongoing difficult market environment,” according to Wolfgang Moyses, the Chairman of the Management Board of SURTECO GROUP SE.
