Business growth over the 2nd quarter was along the lines of that of the 1st quarter, with a few exceptions that require explanation.

Our retail activity has recovered with better performances for Mecafer, Domac and Dipra in Q2. Rousseau reported the forecast level of turnover for its first six months within the group.

Our subsidiary based in Brussels and specialised in the sale of industrial valves to industry, Sodeco Valves, is back on the path to growth to constant scope, which is an encouraging sign for the new director appointed at the beginning of the year.

Axelair has produced an effective response to high demand on the market for mobile air conditioners and fans, whilst continuing its development on ventilation equipment for construction. It is about to hit the breakeven point 5½ years after it started up from scratch, very close to the commitments made at the outset.

Aello has made the most of a buoyant swimming pool market and confirms the suitability of its business model, just 4 years after its launch.

Finally, Thermador International continues to grow, and has adopted a new name that better corresponds to its identity. The subsidiary, created in 2006, is now be called SYVECO. The explanation for this choice of name can be found at www.syveco.com.

RESULTS AND FINANCIAL SITUATION

Including Rousseau's results, consolidated operating profit grew 6.7%. To constant scope, it increased 4.8% in spite of a less favourable euro-dollar exchange rate, and a dip in profitability for Dipra and Mecafer. The growth is mainly due to good performances from Thermador, Syveco, Jetly, Aello, FGinox, Sferaco and Sectoriel. We should note Dipra's mark-down provision on inventory of €0.3 million further to our decision to concentrate all the bathroom and kitchen tap retail range from 2020 onwards on the Rousseau logistics platform.

Our stock levels have fallen by 4.1% since 31/12/2018. This is due to very dynamic sales during the months of May and June and the thorough work done on our sourcing processes. Our net cash position has benefited from that and is now €12.5 million. Our financial debt of €41 million remains very reasonable compared to our equity of €204.5 million.

PROSPECTS

Unsurprisingly, the number of new building starts continues to fall (-6.1% for the quarter). Our wholesale customers from the heating-sanitation and electricity sectors are however reporting sales growth thanks to peak demand for heat pumps and air conditioning. This phenomenon should slow during the 3rd quarter, especially as heat pump manufacturers are finding it very difficult to honour wholesalers' orders. Thermador, our subsidiary specialising in heating accessories, could therefore see its growth decelerate.

This will not affect our peace of mind as we head into the 2nd half of the year, given that the last quarter of 2018 returned growth of only 1.5%. The base effect therefore seems more favourable. Also, the trend remains positive for our export and industrial valves businesses.

Having focused our attention on the integration of companies having recently joined the group, we have not been active on the market for new businesses to acquire over the past 2 years. However, recent proposals and continued work on a project started at the end of 2016 have led us to submit three suitable external growth opportunities to the Board. In all, these companies would bring additional turnover to our pro channels of a little under €40 million. As always, we will be sure to keep you informed of any developments on these projects.
