Floridienne Strong 9M24 mainly thanks to successful integration of Biotrop

We increased our FY24 numbers substantially as Floridienne recorded strong growth in 9M24 y/y as 9M24 sales came in at € 502.4m (+25% y/y), and 9M24 EBITDA was €84.9m (+€35.9m y/y) and a 9M24 net result came in at € 17.1m (+€8.0m y/y). Floridienne indicated that this was mainly thanks to the dynamism of its historical activities and the successful integration of Biotrop. The Foot Division is succeeding in increasing its profitability. BioFirst is growing significantly on its historical market of pollination and biological solutions for greenhouse crops. We welcome the steady growth of Biotrop, the leading Brazilian company in the field of biological solutions for agriculture and one of the biggest in the world, and its successful integration into BioFirst. This confirms that this historic acquisition was the right choice for Floridienne. For now we reiterate our Accumulate rating and € 825 Target Price.
