The Sabaf Group aims to become a key player in the large induction cooking market
Through this strategic investment Sabaf intends to turn out as leader and innovator not only in the mechanical sector, but also in electronics and new technologies
The inclusion of induction technology will lead the Group to be one of the few players able to fully cover all the three cooking surface technologies (gas, radiant and induction)
Sabaf aims to carry on along the sustainable growth path in the respect of the environment
This project will push Sabaf to a further evolution and deep transformation in the next few years

The Sabaf Group enters the
INDUCTION COOKING SECTOR

The European market of induction cooking components, estimated at around €500 million
▪ About €5 million in R&D in the period 2021 – 2023
▪ Setting up of a dedicated project team in Italy
MARKET
PROJECT
The project flexibility will enable Sabaf to offer customised products to its clients















Greater penetration of Turkish and Chinese players in the European market
Evident weakening of the historical Western players
Reduction in consumer purchasing power
Low-value sales, unbranded household appliances
The last 2 years highlight the difficulty of resilience of various competitors, this could lead to the possibility of M&A and/or increase market shares

In 2023, the final demand was characterized by strong weakness, particularly in the first part of the year, with a stabilization in the second half of the year.
The signs of recovery that emerged in the second part of the year gradually consolidated, generating, in the last quarter, better results compared to those of the same period of 2022.
In this context, Sabaf reports significantly improved 4Q 23 results:

Investments: aimed at expanding the international production footprint. In Mexico, the work on the construction of the plant in San Luis de Potosi was completed.
In 2023 the positive free cash flow generated by the Sabaf Group was €22.9 million (€3.4 million in 2022).


The Board of Directors will propose to the shareholders the distribution of a gross ordinary dividend of €0.54 per share for shares outstanding on 28 May 2024 (the record date), excluding, therefore, treasury shares on that date


2024 Outlook
The recovery in production volumes will help to improve profitability
The technical and commercial synergies with the recently acquired companies (PGA and MEC), the product diversification initiatives (particularly in the induction cooking components segment) and internationalization (with the activities of the new production plants in India and Mexico) continue according to plan and will contribute to the 2024 results and ensure the Group's sustainable growth in the medium and long term.


Sabaf's strategy and governance model are aimed towards ensuring long-term sustainable growth. For Sabaf, sustainability is primarily based on sharing values with its stakeholders; compliance with common values increases mutual trust and encourages knowledge development " "

About 30% of people on our planet, i.e. 2.5 billion people, are st on solid biomass fuels for cooking (wood, charcoal, animal dung, crop residues).
This population is mainly concentrated in Sub-Saharan Africa, where the unavailability of clean fuels affects 82% of the population, but significant percentages characterize also Central Asia, India, China, South-East Asia and Latin America.
In addition to being harmful to the environment, the pollution produced by traditional fuels has important consequences on the health of users and families.
The remaining 5.5 billion people use fossil fuels (mainly methane and LPG) or electricity for cooking.



Environmental impact of different cooking fuels1
The environmental impact was measured using a scientific standard method (the ReCiPE 2016), which is based on 3 impact categories:
The environmental impact was highest in the case of coal cooking appliances (112) and lowest for LPG and methane cooking appliances (5 and 5.2 respectively).
Electric cooking appliances, with an impact of 9, highlighted an environmental impact equal to 180% of that deriving from gas hobs
Cooking through a gas hob instead of using firewood as cooking fuel, reduces the environmental impact of 80%

Italian Journal of Food Science, 2022 – Environmental impact of the main household cooking systems – A survey, 2022 Alessio Cimini and Mauro Moresi, Università della Tuscia

From the perspective of sustainable development, the reduction of the environmental impact resulting from cooking food will necessarily have to go through a dual strategy
Promote access to energy sources with lower impact for the population that still uses solid fuels
Favor electric cooking only where and when the energy production mix is characterized by a predominant component of green energy
The Sabaf Group pursue a business development path consistent with the ecological transition plans:

CO2 Emissions of gas hobs vs. electric induction hobs

A necessary condition for an induction hob to generate lower CO2 emissions than a gas hob is that the electricity is produced with a % of renewable sources (or nuclear energy) greater than 70%
Countries that have less than 70% renewable energy pollute more if they use electric induction hobs than gas




The Sabaf Group actively participates in some experimental projects aimed at evaluating the feasibility of using hydrogen to replace natural gas (methane) as a power source for gas cooking appliances
Burners capable of operating with 100% hydrogen: aboratory tests and prototypes created have confirmed the technical feasibility of these products
The possibility of using hydrogen on a large scale as a fuel source still has to overcome important technological challenges, both in terms of its production and distribution
A solution that could find application in a relatively short time is the use of a mix of methane and hydrogen, through the existing distribution network
Hy4Heat project, promoted by the British government, concluded in 2022 with positive results
Pilot project in collaboration with the Colombian client Industrias Haceb → European Union Sustainability certification LCBA (Low Carbon and Circular Economy Business Action)
