H1 2024 Consolidated Group Revenue was €144.7m (-7.0% YoY)
H1 2024 Adjusted EBITDA was €21.5m (+75.1% YoY)
Q2 2024 Consolidated Group Revenue was €74.5m (-5.7% YoY)
H1 Net Debt was €139.2m (including €25.3m of IFRS 16 lease liabilities), being €6,1m lower than reported at the end of 2023.
Net leverage excluding IFRS 16 impact but including sale and leasebacks, decreased to 3.2x (4.5x end of 2023). Total available liquidity (including headroom under the RCF) was €41m at the end of H1 2024.
Consolidated Group Revenue for HI 2024 reflects continued lower market demand in the European Residential business line as well as softer project-driven demand in the US in Q1 2024. Despite the overall softness in the market, HI 2024 Adjusted EBITDA has significantly improved profitability in both regions.
In the US, volumes in Q2 2024 improved vs. Q1 2024, led by higher sales in the education, corporate and residential segments. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin improved in HI 2024 compared to HI 2023 as a result of higher unitary margins as well as fixed cost savings than offset the negative impact of the lower volumes.
In Europe, H1 2024 volumes were below H1 2023 due to the continued market softness in the Residential business, and a strategic shift into a more profitable product offering in this segment. In the more project-driven Commercial business line, volumes in H1 2024 were flat compared to H1 2023. Adjusted EBITDA margin have recovered significantly compared to H1 2023, which was still at a low comparative base, as a result of lower raw material costs, a higher margin product portfolio and fixed costs saving measures.
