Dividends: on 28 May 2024 distribution of a gross ordinary dividend of €0.54 per share

2024 Outlook

2024 Outlook The Group expects to close 2024 with revenues ranging from €276 to €280 million, up by 15-17% compared to 2023. In recent weeks, the order intake has been influenced by the inventory reduction policy of major customers, which is typical at the end of the year. In the coming months, potential more expansionary monetary policies could support the recovery of the housing sector in Europe and in the United States and thus the recovery of the market for household appliances. In 2025, Sabaf will continue to implement its Business Plan, which aims to increase and consolidate its global market shares, through - the increasingly widespread presence of the Group at a global level - the diversification of product offering - the enhancement of the synergies with acquired companies - the growth through acquisitions. Notably, an increasing contribution is expected from the Gas division, thanks also to the new plants in Mexico and India, from the Induction division and from the direct presence in the United States (thanks to the recent acquisition of MEC).

SUSTAINABILITY

Sabaf: a sustainable business

Sustainability in the Business plan 2024 - 2026

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 " "

Environmental impact of different cooking fuels 1/3

About 30% of people on our planet, i.e. 2.5 billion people, are still relies 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

5.5 billion people use fossil fuels (mainly natural gas and LPG) or electricity for cooking

Environmental impact of different cooking fuels 2/3

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:

  • damage to human health
  • damage to ecosystem quality
  • damage to resource availability

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 by 80%

1 https://www.itjfs.com/index.php/ijfs/article/view/2170

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

Environmental impact of different cooking fuels 3/3

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

An induction hob causes lower CO2 emissions than a gas hob only if the electricity is produced with a % of renewable sources (and/or nuclear energy) higher than 70%

The Sabaf Group pursue a business development path consistent with the ecological transition plans:

  • Sabaf is investing to promote diffusion of gas cooking appliances in emerging countries, replacing traditional cooking methods with much higher environmental impact
  • At the same time, Sabaf is investing to enter the sector of induction cooking, the most efficient form of electric cooking, which is constantly growing in the European market, although such trend has slowed down in the last 3 years

A possible revolution - Hydrogen burners

The Sabaf Group actively takes part in research projects aimed at evaluating the feasibility of replacing natural gas (methane) with hydrogen as a source for gas cooking appliances

Burners operating with 100% hydrogen: laboratory tests and prototypes have confirmed the technical feasibility of these products

The possibility to use hydrogen on a large scale as a fuel has still to overcome important technological challenges, both in terms of its production and distribution

A possible solution 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)
