As of 31 December 2015, the PCAS Group had generated consolidated net sales of €179.1 million up by 7.7 % compared to the same period for the previous financial year (+3.8 % at a constant exchange rate).
EBITDA is up 48 % at €27.0 million, against €18.3 million in 2014, a margin of 15.1 % against 11.0 % in 2014. Current operating income stands at €15.6 million, up by 95.4 % compared to 2014, driven by the increase in volumes and favourable exchange rate parity.
After accounting for non-recurring income of €2.9 million net of income and higher finance charges in the period, the PCAS Group's net income stands at €9.0 million in 2015, against €2.5 million in 2014.
Net debt continued to fall, down to €34.7 million as of 31December 2015 against €48.0 million as of 31December 2014.
In 2016 the PCAS group forecasts an increase in sales, excluding external growth, in all its operations, which should lead to a new improvement in the results.
The PCAS group has the necessary resources to continue implementing its ambitious investment program and is considering external growth opportunities.
Under those circumstances, the Board of Directors will ask the next Shareholder's Meeting to approve payment of a dividend of 0.12 Euros per share (including the interim dividend of 0.06 Euros per share paid in September 2015).
Next meeting:
2016 Shareholder's Meeting in Longjumeau at 10 a.m. on April 21, 2016
