Market
Tariffs
Greater penetration of Turkish and Chinese players in the European market
Reduction in end-users purchasing power
The last 2 years highlighted the difficulty of some competitors, which could open opportunities for M&Aand allow us to gain market shares Competitors
The first economic policy measures taken by the new US administration have created international tensions, the effects of which are difficult to predict

The geographical diversification of Sabaf's industrial footprint mitigates the risks associated with tariffs/trade barriers, thanks to the presence of production plants in all key reference markets

• After several quarters characterized by market weakness, signs of recovery are emerging. Industry shipments +1% in 4Q 2024

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


2025 Dividend proposal
The Board of Directors will propose to the shareholders the distribution of a gross ordinary dividend of €0.58 per share (Cash out ~ € 7.2 million)
A gross dividend of €0.54 per share was paid in 2024




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 " "



Remuneration policy


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 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 by 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
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:

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)
