Q1 2019 – NFP Bridge

  • The 18.4m€ increase in NFP is mainly linked to the adoption of the IFRS 16 (+14.7m€).
  • FFO 13.3m€: which covered higher capex (due to the deployment of the production plants expansion plan) and partly the seasonal increase in NWC.
  • NWC +11.1m€ due mainly to seasonal effect in receivables and higher use of stocks (due to the stocks reduction plan) with less purchases and consequently less payables.
