  • the net industrial margin stood at €1,504.3 million, which equals 48.9% of revenues, compared to 47.3% in 2022, benefiting from a positive effect of the price mix and an easing of inflationary pressures on product costs;
  • adjusted Ebitda was €444.2 million, or 14.4% of revenues, a substantial increase from 2022 (at 11.5%). The constant increase in profitability achieved over the year was additionally contributed by partial savings from media and communication ("A&P") investments, which were achieved through improved spending effectiveness and more targeted use of assets and channels. The currency component had a negative impact.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The Q4 showed a high-single digit organic growth, extending the improved trend already seen from Q2 and consolidating the phase of gradual post-pandemic normalisation.

The Group has reaffirmed its commitment to communication and innovation, which has been strengthened in recent months by the launch of the new "Perfetto" and "Nutribullet: it's that simple" campaigns.

Net financial position as at 31 December 2023 stood at 663 ME, an increase of $\epsilon$ 364 million over the previous year, thanks to significant cash generation in Q4.

During the year, margins improved significantly due to rigorous cost control, a careful investment strategy and partial easing of inflationary pressures on some industrial costs, allowing the 2022 decline to be quickly recovered.

In the words of the C.E.O., Fabio de' Longhi:

*Guidance on revenues and adj Ebitda estimated consolidating the business combination between La Marzocco and Eversys from March 1, 2024.
