1 With respect to the results for the corresponding period in 2022, the change in perimeter relates to Draintech, Eurofluid, Indoshell Automotive System India, I.Mec and the Waikato Group. Draintech and Eurofluid were acquired in the prior year and consolidated from June and November 2022 respectively; accordingly, they represent a change in reporting perimeter for the entirety of 2Q2023. Indoshell Automotive System India was purchased in February and 31 March was designated as the effective acquisition date. As such, this operation also influenced the income statement for the entirety of 2Q2023. I.Mec and the Waikato Group were acquired at the end of April and in May respectively; accordingly, only their June results were included in the 2Q2023 consolidation. The first three companies are consolidated by the Hydraulics division of the Group, while the last two are consolidated by the Water-Jetting division.


The Group achieved organic growth2 of 9.1%, with Hydraulics and Water-Jetting up by 8.7% and 10.6% respectively.
Profitability
EBITDA totaled €145.7 million in 2Q2023, up by 14.3% compared with €127.5 million in the corresponding period of 2022 (+11.6% at unchanged perimeter) and representing 24.6% of sales (also 24.6% at unchanged perimeter), compared with 23.7% in 2Q2022.3

EBIT totaled €119.4 million in 2Q2023, up by 20.6% from €99.0 million and representing 20.2% of sales, compared with 18.4% in the corresponding period of 2022.
2Q2023 closed with a consolidated net profit of €82.4 million, up by 12.2% compared with €73.4 million in 2Q2022.
2 Same scope of consolidation and exchange rates.
3 In February this year, the Group received the balance of the insurance reimbursement - €9 million - due following the fire in May 2022 that seriously damaged one of the plants operated by I.M.M., the Romanian subsidiary. This amount was recognized as "Other operating income" in accordance with the matching principle, commencing from the date of collection: €3.6 million in 1Q2023 and €5.4 million in 2Q2023. For completeness, the overall accounting impact of this 2022 event was €2.3 million in non-recurring costs, of which €1.6 million in inventory writedowns. The Group expects the full recovery of activities very soon.
4 Total sales include those to other Group companies in the other sector, while the sales analyzed previously are exclusively those external to the Group (see note 2 in the explanatory notes). For comparability, the percentage is calculated on total sales, rather than the net sales shown earlier.


CONSOLIDATED RESULTS FOR 1H2023
Net sales

5 With respect to the results for the corresponding period in 2022, the change in perimeter relates to Draintech, Eurofluid, Indoshell Automotive System India, I.Mec and the Waikato Group. Draintech and Eurofluid were acquired in the prior year and consolidated from June and November 2022 respectively; accordingly, they represent a change in reporting perimeter for the entirety of 1H2023. Indoshell Automotive System India was purchased in February and 31 March was designated as the effective acquisition date. As such, this operation only had a financial impact in 1Q2023, but also affected the income statement throughout 2Q2023. I.Mec and the Waikato Group were acquired at the end of April and in May respectively; accordingly, only their June results were included in the 2Q2023 consolidation.


Organic growth at Group level was 13.7%, comprising 13.8% by the Hydraulics division and 13.2% by the Water-Jetting division.
Profitability
In the first half, EBITDA totaled €295.4 million, up by 22.2% compared with €241.7 million in the corresponding period of 2022 (+19.7% growth at unchanged perimeter). As a percentage of sales, EBITDA was 24.9% (same incidence at unchanged perimeter) compared with 23.6% in the comparative period of the prior year.

EBIT totaled €244.0 million in 1H2023, up by 27.3% compared with €191.6 million in 1H2022 and representing 20.6% of sales (18.7% in the corresponding period of the prior year).
Consolidated net profit for the period increased from €139.5 million to €168.5 million, representing 20.7% growth.
Basic earnings per share rose from EUR 1.304 in 1H2022 to EUR 1.558 in 1H2023.
Capital employed at 30 June 2023 amounted to €2,354.9 million, compared with €2,170.7 million at 31 December 2022. This phenomenon is principally explained by the rise in trade receivables linked to the significant growth in sales recorded during the period, as well as by continuation of the investment program launched at the end of 2021 to expand the productive capacity of the Group.


Financial situation
Net liquidity generated by operations totaled €216.9 million (€196.9 million in 1H2022). Free cash flow in 1H2023 was €44.0 million (€12.0 million in 1H2022). Despite the dedication of substantial resources to the expansion of productive capacity, as mentioned above, the significant rise in FCF reflects the commitment of the Group to return cash generation to more optimal levels, following the exceptional activities and efforts made in the prior year. In particular, the extraordinary growth in sales recorded in 2022, combined with the difficulty of sourcing raw materials and production components, had a major effect on operating capital with large increases in trade receivables on the one hand and, on the other, in inventories to guarantee the continuity of both production and customer service.
The net financial position at 30 June 2023 was €578.3 million, compared with €541.8 million at 31 December 20226 . Most resources were dedicated to development activities, with expenditure totaling €134.8 million: €82.1 million spent on investments and €52.7 million on acquisitions. During the first semester, dividend payments totaled €32.7 million while €1.9 million was collected from the sale of treasury shares to the beneficiaries of stock option plans.
Significant acquisitions during the period included:
-
- Indoshell Automotive System India P.L.: company specialized in the casting of ferrous and non-ferrous metals - 85% of the capital7 was purchased by the Group on 20 February 2023;
-
- I.Mec S.r.l.: company specialized in the production of mechanical sifters, being vibrating devices for the granulometric selection of materials - 70% of the capital8 was purchased by the Group on 20 April 2023;
-
- Waikato Group: leader in the New Zealand and Australian markets for mechanized milking Interpump purchased total control of this group on 18 May 2023.
All three operations reflect the strategy of the Group to grow via diversification and the mitigation of risk. In particular, the Indian company strengthens the ability of Interpump to procure iron castings, which are fundamental for the "valves" sector and important for many other sectors within the Group. The other two acquisitions accelerate the growth of the Group in the area of flow handling technologies, as used in the food processing, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics industries, which commenced in 2015 with the acquisition of Bertoli. In particular, the acquisition of Waikato strengthens the presence of the Group in the Pacific Area.
6 At period end, the Group had commitments for the acquisition of stakes in subsidiaries totaling €72.7 million, compared with €62.8 million at 31 December 2022.
7 "Put and call" mechanisms have already been established at a fixed price, so that Interpump Group can purchase the residual equity interest from April 2027
8 "Put and call" mechanisms have already been established, so that the counterparties can purchase and sell the residual equity interest from April 2026.


At 30 June 2023 Interpump S.p.A. held 1,914,863 treasury shares in the portfolio corresponding to 1.762% of share capital, acquired at an average unit cost of EUR 38.7871.
UPDATE ON IMPLEMENTATION OF THE ESG PLAN FOR 2023-2025
In relation to the ESG Plan approved on 5 October 2022, a number of actions envisaged for the current year were completed during the first semester. These seek to embed the fundamental ESG principles within the Group's strategies and create, during the period 2023-24, an organizational framework that recognizes the underlying core values:
- G.1, revision of the Code of Ethics: the principles of sustainability defined in the ESG Plan have been incorporated and the new version has been adopted by all Interpump Group companies;

In addition, via Contarini Leopoldo and Interpump Hydraulics, the Group has expressed close solidarity with approximately 50 employees who suffered personally from the extreme weather phenomena that hit the Emilia-Romagna Region in May. The payroll for the following month included net "one-time" gifts to them, totaling about € 215 thousand.
9 This objective is addressed annually during the Plan period.


EVENTS OCCURRING AFTER THE END OF 1H2023
No atypical or unusual transactions have been carried out subsequent to 30 June 2023 that would call for changes to the consolidated financial statements at 30 June 2023.
BUSINESS OUTLOOK
The results for 1H2023 confirm the ability of the Group to interpret the dynamics of our reference markets in the best possible way in a domestic and international context that remains difficult. Given this, based on current conditions, we can imagine organic growth in 2023 that significantly exceeds our expectations at the start of the year10, with solid and stable profitability surpassing that achieved in 2022.
