Pesaro, 29 October 2021 - The Board of Directors of Biesse S.p.A. -a mid cap company listed in the STAR segment of the Italian Stock Exchange – today approved the Report for the 3rd Quarter 2021, also examining the YTD consolidated results as at 30 September 2021.
The results for the period 1/7/21 – 30/9/21 were as follows:
Consequently, the YTD figure as at 30 September 2021 is as follows:
The net financial of the Group as at 30 September 2021 was positive at 113.9 million euros, a marked improvement over the same period of 2020 (+117 million euros) and of 2019 (+156.5 million euros). The negative impacts of IFRS16 within the NFP as at 30 September 2021 amounted to 20.5 million euros and therefore – net of these impacts – the operating NFP would have been positive at 134.4 million euros. Since the beginning of the year, the NFP delta is positive at 64.4 million euros.
Net Invested Capital: 136.6 million euros Shareholders' Equity: 250.5 million euros Operating N.W.C.: 28.2 million euros. Operating Net Working Capital as a percentage of revenues was 5.4% (17.2% as at September 2020).
The breakdown of the net sales between the Mechatronics and the Machinery and Systems segment shows 9,1% and 90,9% respectively. Geographically, Italy increases to 17.8% (13% in September 2020 and 16.7% in June of this year), while with regard to macro–areas:
Western Europe 50.3% (including Italy) Asia-Oceania 13.1% Eastern Europe 16.6% North America 17.3% Rest of World 2.8%
Group order intake YTD in the 9 months shows an increase of 74% compared to the same period in 2020, while compared to 2019 the positive delta is 31.6%. In the third quarter of this year alone, order intake amounted to 157.3 million euros (up 35.4% on the same period of 2020).
Very positive production backlog at the end of September (291 million euros), 6% higher than at the end of June 2021.
Compared to year-end 2020, the backlog has increased by 37.1%, while compared to December 2019, the current backlog is 48% higher
As mentioned on 11 October last, Biesse will acquire 100% of the company Forvet Costruzione Macchine Speciali S.p.A. The synergies between the company, operating in special automated machines for glass processing (Forvet S.p.A.), and Biesse are evident; with this operation, Biesse (Intermac) completes and increases its product portfolio in the glass sector, expanding its presence in the high end of the market.
Approved today by the B.o.D. the Policy for the management of dialogue with the shareholders and the other stakeholders. The document will be available in our website Investor relations area.
Considering the obtained results and the situation of the backlog and order intake, this year is likely to replicate what the Group did at the end of 2019, with an higher cashflow vs the year before net of the Forvet acquisition disbursement.
At 4 p.m. today, Biesse will hold a conference call to comment on the Group's achievements during the first 9 months of 2021. On the corporate website www.biessegroup.com investor relations area, the supporting company presentation will be available. The same presentation will also be made available on the official storage website
"Although evident factors of instability and uncertainty remain at the international level, - said the Group CFO Pierre La Tour on the sidelines of the Board meeting – the Group's achievements in these first 9 months undoubtedly paint a positive picture.
What we are going through, albeit requiring a prudent and cautious attitude, seems to be a phase of generalised and consistent recovery, providing us with a bright outlook, at least for the immediate future. That being said, the recovery of the demand beyond expectations is generating tensions, in the distribution chain, from which the Biesse Group is not exempt. In particular the evolution of transport dynamics remain under close monitoring by our side.
The order intake certifies that demand remained sustained even during the third quarter of this year; the Group's production backlog increased with respect to last June, confirming levels never reached in Biesse's history. Despite this record level, the average production visibility is still not very high, also due to our desire to not over-extend delivery lead times.
Following the directives contained in the Three-Year Business Plan approved 30 July last, we have decided an important acquisition, strategic for us in the glass sector, in order to complete and expand the product range in the high end of the market. As far as Research and Development investments are concerned, we can confirm that these will always remain at the core of the Group's projects and will not be reduced in any way; the cornerstone of our strategy is to develop the digital paradigm and all the technological innovations that can impact our target sectors".
