  • Organic growth in Q2-24 (+1.5% vs Q2-23) was affected by the weakness of the comfort segment in the peak of its seasonality due to an unfavourable climate condition in Europe and the aftermath of the discontinuation of the mobile airconditioning in the US.
  • Excluding the comfort segment the household segment would have grown by 6.9% in Q2-24.

All geographies recorded a positive growth rate in the quarter, in particular:

  • South-West Europe grew by 6.5%, corresponding to a mid-single digit organic growth that was partially affected by the weakness of the comfort business. Within this context, certain markets such as Austria, Switzerland and the Iberian Peninsula experienced an accelerated growth, aligned to the last twelve months trend;
  • North-East Europe continues rallying, registering a growth of almost 14% in the quarter, (almost 10% organically). The second quarter is the fifth consecutive one of organic growth in the area;
  • MEIA went back to growth, expanding at high-teens rate, 10% organic, after a harsh first quarter highly impacted by geopolitical uncertainty. Business expansion was driven by the coffee area and certain product categories within the nutrition and food preparation segment;
  • America grew by 10.6%, thanks to the consolidation of La Marzocco. The organic perimeter slowed down mostly due to the aftermaths of the discontinuation of the mobile air-conditioning business. The core categories were up, thanks to a solid expansion of Nutribullet's product and positive developments on the fully auto coffee makers and Nespresso's capsule systems
  • finally, the Asia Pacific region grew at mid-teens rate thanks to the consolidation of La Marzocco which offset the slight organic decrease in certain countries.

In the quarter:

  • net industrial margin was up to 51.2% of sales from 48.8% in 2023; positive contributions from the price-mix and certain industrial costs;
  • adjusted Ebitda margin strongly improved reaching 14.5% of sales from 12.5% in 2023. Improvement in profitability was driven by the turnover's expansion, a better product mix and rigorous cost control in the organic perimeter, as well as the consolidation of La Marzocco.

FY 2024 GUIDANCE

In the words of the C.E.O., Fabio de' Longhi:

"The Group achieved an expansion in turnover of more than 10% also in the second quarter, benefiting both from the consolidation of the professional coffee area and from the continuation of development in the core categories, despite the marked weakness of the comfort segment, net of which the household growth in the quarter was 6.9%.

In the home coffee machine segment, we were able to further increase our market share, taking advantage of a structurally expanding reference sector. Furthermore, the nutrition and food preparation area has consolidated the positive trend witnessed in recent quarters, also thanks to the recent launches of new products that are increasingly focused on a consumer approach to a healthy diet.

The evolution of turnover, an improvement in the product mix and careful cost management have allowed us to significantly improve the marqin profile at constant perimeter, further increasing the Group's profitability with the consolidation of La Marzocco.

The current context of business evolution allows us to reaffirm the guidance for the year, albeit aware of the variability of the current macroeconomic and geopolitical scenario. We therefore confirm revenue growth in the 9%-11% range, including the expansion of the perimeter. In terms of margins, the quarterly results reinforce the expectation of reaching the upper end of the quidance which foreses an adjusted Ebitda in the range of €500-530 million for the new perimeter"

Adjusted EBITDA of around €500-530M
