Milano, 25 settembre 2023 – Piaggio & C S.p.A. (l'"Emittente") annuncia di aver avviato un'offerta (l'"Offerta") finalizzata all'emissione di senior notes per un importo complessivo di Euro 250 milioni con scadenza 2030 (le "Notes"). I proventi dell'Offerta, unitamente alla liquidità presente in bilancio, saranno utilizzati per rifinanziare interamente il prestito obbligazionario di ammontare complessivo in linea capitale di Euro 250 milioni con tasso 3.625% e scadenza 2025 emesso dall'Emittente (le "Notes Esistenti"), e per coprire le spese e i costi sostenuti in relazione all'Offerta.
Il collocamento dell'Offerta è stato organizzato da BNP Paribas, BofA Securities Europe SA e Intesa Sanpaolo (Divisione IMI CIB) in qualità di joint global coordinators e joint physical bookrunners, e Banca Akros S.p.A. – Gruppo Banco BPM, HSBC Continental Europe, ING Bank N.V. e UniCredit Bank AG in qualità di joint bookrunners.
L'Emittente inoltre annuncia di aver pubblicato oggi un avviso di rimborso, soggetto a condizioni ivi inclusa l'emissione delle Notes, rispetto a tutte le Notes Esistenti. In relazione all'Offerta, di seguito si divulgano ai potenziali investitori delle Notes alcune recenti informazioni relative alle negoziazioni.
Il Gruppo Piaggio – al fine di garantire la parità informativa tra tutti i portatori di interesse (stakeholders) – informa che, sulla base di stime preliminari relative ai primi otto mesi del 2023, è previsto che il margine EBITDA del Gruppo Piaggio (EBITDA/Ricavi) per i primi otto mesi del 2023 abbia confermato la tendenza positiva registrata nei primi 6 mesi del 2023 (circa il 16%, ovvero circa 2 punti percentuali in più rispetto all'anno precedente). Tali risultati sono stati raggiunti grazie ad una rigorosa politica di prezzi premium adottata dal Gruppo Piaggio supportata dalla forza dei marchi del Gruppo, continui miglioramenti nell'efficienza produttiva e un favorevole mix di prodotti venduti. Pertanto, si stima che l'EBITDA del Gruppo Piaggio per i primi 8 mesi del 2023 sia cresciuto di circa il 17% rispetto allo stesso periodo del 2022.
Nonostante le attuali condizioni macroeconomiche e la debolezza del mercato asiatico, il Gruppo Piaggio stima che i ricavi siano aumentati dei circa il 3% nei primi otto mesi del 2023, rispetto allo stesso periodo del 2022. A cambi costanti la crescita dei ricavi sarebbe di oltre il 5%. Non vi è alcuna certezza che queste stime preliminari saranno confermate o che i risultati effettivi non saranno superiori o inferiori rispetto a quanto stimato.
