Water Technologies

  • WTS2 confirmed the positive trend, revenues +22.8%, thanks to the strong backlog accumulated, improving division profitability
  • Pools: market destocking and normalization continued in Q3 2023, driving softer performances in our Pools segment.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS

Q3' 23 NWC shows a lower revenue incidence than Q3'22, mainly reflecting lower inventories.

The performance vs Q2'23 mainly reflects the increase of:

  • Trade Receivables, due to high revenues realized in September

  • Contract WIP driven by product mix

Inventories rate on revenues improved towards our 30% target
