"2022 has been a year of unprecedented economic and geopolitical instability. Cost inflation, supply chain disruptions and COVID lockdowns in China impacted our activities. Especially in these turbulent times, we continued to execute our strategic agenda. Given the expected strong increase in demand, the Board of Directors yesterday validated an investment in a new production facility for our Zirfon green hydrogen membranes in our Belgian site in Mortsel. We finalized the acquisition of Inca Digital Printers, which strengthens our position in high-speed digital printing and speeds up our entry in digital packaging printing. In HealthCare IT, we stepped up investments in R&D and commercial resources and we established a new management team, focusing on the core North American markets. The sale of our Offset Solutions division to Aurelius Group, which is expected to close early April, should enable us to increase the focus on our growth businesses. In our efforts to build a simple, agile and future-oriented organizational model, we re-organized our internal financial services and partnered with Atos for our internal IT operations. Our 2023 priorities are the implementation of further price increases across our businesses, the reduction of costs related to our operating model initiatives, and to deliver growth in HealthCare IT, Zirfon and digital printing," said Pascal Juéry, President and CEO of the Agfa-Gevaert Group.

Adjusted EBITDA was influenced by inflationary pressure, disrupted supply chains and industrial inefficiencies in Q4.
On top of heavy transformation efforts, impairments in Radiology Solutions (73 million Euro) and Offset Solutions (41 million Euro) had a strong impact on restructuring and non-recurring items, resulting in a charge of 192 million Euro, versus 33 million Euro in 2021.
Overall, the Agfa-Gevaert Group expects a recovery in profitability in the full year 2023 versus 2022.
