SURTECO GROUP SE: Sales and earnings within the forecast range in spite of difficult framework conditions
- Adjusted EBITDA at € 76.8 million up by +20 % over previous year
- Earnings per share increase to € 0.50
Buttenwiesen, 31 October 2024 – During the first three quarters of 2024, sales generated by the SURTECO Group increased by 4 % to € 662.2 million (Q1-3 2023: € 637.3 million) in spite of difficult framework conditions. The sustained weak demand was compensated by consolidation of the Omnova divisions (in the previous year only from March to September). On the earnings side, improved ratios for material, personnel and other operating expenses led to a significant increase in adjusted earnings before financial result, income tax and depreciation and amortization (adjusted EBITDA) by +20 % to € 76.8 million (2023: € 64.0 million). Reported EBITDA – without adjustment for transaction and integration costs, PPA step-up inventories and consultancy costs – increased by +63 % to € 76.1 million after € 46.7 million in the previous year. Net profit in the first nine months of 2024 amounted to € 7.8 million, following on from posting a loss of € -13.3 million in the previous year as a result of one-off expenses. As a consequence, earnings per share rose from € -0.86 in the previous year to the current level of € 0.50.
Demand in the most important sales markets of the Group has once more been significantly subdued in comparison with the first half year of 2024 and it is not likely to undergo substantial improvement in the near future. Group sales are therefore expected within the range between € 860 million and € 880 million and adjusted EBITDA is anticipated in the range between € 85 million and € 95 million, which is within the forecast framework as set out in the Annual Report 2023.
“We expect a very challenging final quarter in 2024. However, our aim is to achieve the lower range of our forecast with our improved cost positions and the Performance Plus programme,” commented Wolfgang Moyses, Chairman of the Management Board of SURTECO GROUP SE.
