Analysis of consolidated revenue

In FY 2024, the Group realised Sales Revenues of Euro 164.3 million, an increase of 3.5% compared to the previous year (Euro 158.6 million), mainly due to the positive contribution of the most important product line, both on the domestic and international markets.

* For better clarity, the revenues from Croatia, previously included under the "Other" category in the 2023 financial report, have been reclassified under "Eastern Europe."

With regard to the analysis of sales by geographic area, it should be noted that - thanks to the growth in sales recorded internationally - the share of sales in foreign markets accounted for about 53.0% of the Group's total sales, with an increase of about 6.4% and an increase in the incidence on total revenues of about 1.4% compared with the previous year. Noteworthy are the excellent results from France, with an increase of revenues equal to Euro 1.7 million (+25.0%), alongside the growth within the Iberian Peninsula, where revenues increased by Euro 1.1 million (+7.5%) compared to the previous year. Similarly, the Benelux region saw its revenues swell by Euro 1.3 million, a robust 16.1% rise compared to 2023. A slight downturn in the revenues of Germany (decrease of Euro 0.2 million, equal to -2.0%) and Switzerland (decrease of Euro 0.6 million, equal to -7.5%) was observed, chiefly attributed to negative market dynamics.

Analysis of operating profit and consolidated profit for the year

The 2024 cost analysis shows that:

  • EBITDA experienced an uplift from Euro 61.2 million in 2023 to Euro 65.8 million, mainly aided by the rise in Revenues, though accompanied by a marginal uptick in COGS
  • Sales and distribution costs, General and administrative costs and Other non-operating costs and revenues totalled Euro 57.8 million in 2024 (Euro 56.3 million as at December 31, 2023). The revenue ratio is improving, declining from 35.5% in 2023 to 35.2% in 2024.

Operating Profit for the financial year 2024 amounted to Euro 8.0 million (increasing compared to Euro 4.9 million in 2023). After accounting for Euro 6.7 million in amortisation related to Purchase Price Allocation and Euro 0.8 million for non-recurring costs, the Adjusted Operating Profit stood at Euro 15.6 million, marking an 11.5% rise compared to the previous year (Euro 14.0 million).

Adjusted EBITDA, considered by the Company as a key metric for assessing the Group's operational profitability, stood at Euro 22.6 million in 2024 growing by 9.1% compared to the previous year (Euro 20.8 million). This uplift is credited to business growth initiatives and stringent cost management strategies. This indicator is obtained by adding operating depreciation and amortisation of EUR 7.0 million to Adjusted EBIT.

In 2024, the Adjusted EBITDA Margin improved to 13.8% (from 13.1% in the previous year), reflecting a positive (+70bps) increase over 2023.

Net financial charges stood at Euro 1.9 million, compared to Euro 1.5 million in 2023. This change, net of the negative effect of the fair value valuation of Put & Call Options and derivative instruments for a total of Euro 1.0 million, amounted to Euro 0.5 million, mainly attributable to lower interest expenses due to banks, following the improvement of the net financial position, the refinancing transaction finalised in the second half of the year and as a result of lower interest rates.

The Adjusted Net Profit for the year was EUR 8.6 million compared to EUR 7.7 million in 2023, thus improving by EUR 0.9 million.

Analysis of consolidated net financial indebtedness and operating cash flow

Net financial debt as at December 31, 2024 amounted to Euro 22.0 million (decrease of Euro 13.4 million, equal to -37,8% compared to Euro 35.4 as at December 31, 2023). This figure included liabilities to financial institutions, after subtracting cash on hand (Euro 14.1 million), payables relating to the measurement of Put/Call options for minorities acquisitions (Euro 5.0 million) and lease payables in compliance with IFRS 16 (Euro 3.3 million).

The decline in net financial debt to Euro 13.4 million as at 31 December 2024, compared to the same point in the previous year, is largely due to the increased profitability and lowered Working Capital, achieved through continuous efficiency initiatives implemented by management.

The leverage ratio at the end of 2024 was 0.97x, marking a significant improvement over the figure for 2023 (1.70x). Compliance with the covenant stipulations of the current financing has been maintained.

Operating cash flow for 2024 amounted to Euro 23.4 million, compared to Euro 18.2 million in the previous financial year. The primary catalysts for this growth (amounting to 5.2 million euros, corresponding to an increase of 28.6% compared to 2023) were once again attributed to enhanced profitability and the strategic management of working capital.
