First half results (audited)

Key analysis factors for the first half

Revenues rose 4.7% mainly thanks to the strong performance of companies acquired over the last few months (Giofex Group, Ferramat and Milton). Their net contribution to consolidated revenues amounted to €7.0 million for the period, resulting in EBIT of €0.1 million.

Rising raw material prices had a €1.5 million negative impact on operating income (i.e. 1.9% of revenues). Furthermore, EBIT for the period was impacted by non-recurring restructuring expenses totaling €1.2 million, up from €0.3 million last year.

Adjusted ebitda amounted to €9.2 million, representing 10.3% of revenues (11.2% at constant consolidation scope).

Operating working capital at constant consolidation scope improved, representing 42.8% of sales as of June 30, 2017, down from 43.1% as of June 30, 2016.

Group net cash amounted to €9.4 million as of June 30, 2017, down from €23.1 million as of December 31, 2016. This change primarily results from i/ working capital relating to seasonal fluctuations in sales, ii/ acquisitions of Milton Ltd (UK) and Ferramat (Turkey) companies or operations and iii/ industrial maintenance expenditure.

In the first half of 2017, Serge Ferrari finalized its sales organization. The Group also continued its international expansion via new subsidiaries in Turkey and Germany, the creation of Giofex Poland and the acquisition of Milton (UK). The integration and development of Giofex Group is progressing according to plan and points to a positive outlook.

Outlook

The step-up in sales announced for the second half of 2017 is expected to become apparent from the fourth quarter, due to the postponement of several large-scale projects.

Backed by its newly strengthened international sales organization, Serge Ferrari is continuing to roll out its SF2020 strategic plan, which combines organic growth and acquisitions.
