Orders received and revenues
Orders received
EUR 402.5m, up 2.3% QoQ and 3.0% YoY
Orders received driven by good project orders. Poultry had a material step up in orders received in the quarter, closing some large projects, while orders received were softer in Meat, Fish and Plant, Pet & Feed.
Orders received expected to trend upwards over the coming quarters. Market fundamentals continue to stay attractive and outlook for coming quarters is positive for Poultry and PPF. The Meat and Fish segments however continue to be soft.
Pipeline conversion to orders keeps shifting out with differing segment demand, inflation and high-interest rate environment only slowly abating and continuing geopolitical tensions. Time to secure down payments and provide financial security on orders also continues to take longer.
Revenues
EUR 386.9m, down 6.8% QoQ and 4.1% YoY
Revenues declined due to low project revenues resulting from low orders received in recent quarters and soft order book. Project revenues at EUR 188.2m in 3Q24, down 12.1% QoQ and 9.3% YoY (2Q24: 214.2m, 3Q23: 207.4m).
Recurring aftermarket revenues remains solid with underlying momentum at EUR 198.7m with a seasonal decline of 1.1% QoQ and growth of 1.3% YoY (2Q24: 201.0m, 3Q23: 196.2m), reflecting Marel's strong focus on quality service.

Cash flow bridge
Operating cash flow
Operating cash flow was EUR 57.1m (2Q24: -4.0m, 3Q23: 62.4m).
Operating cash flow improved significantly since last quarter mainly attributable to improved net contract liabilities due to increased order book though partly offset by higher receivable position.
CAPEX¹ was EUR 4.5m (2Q24: 5.6m, 3Q23: 11.4m), or 1.2% of revenues in the quarter (2Q24: 1.3%, 3Q23: 2.8%), below a normalized level of 2-3% due to focus on cash flow after a period of elevated CAPEX levels into strategic investments in prior years.
Free cash flow was EUR 41.4m in the quarter (2Q24: -22.0m, 3Q23: 32.4m).
Leverage
Leverage³ was at 3.75x in the quarter (2Q24: 3.92x, 3Q23: 3.48x), and decreased QoQ due to lower net debt as a result of improved cash flow and FX movements.
The leverage covenant was 4.25x in 3Q24 with stepdown to 4.00x in 4Q24. Priority to reach targeted capital structure of 2-3x net debt/EBITDA.
Liquidity as of 30 September 2024 amounts to 348.7m consisting of cash on hand (EUR 62.7m) and committed credit facilities (EUR 286.0m).

Marel Poultry
Orders received
- Very strong project orders received in 3Q24 with closure of some large projects. Market fundamentals continue to stay healthy and pipeline is good for coming quarters.
Revenues
- Revenues declined 7.6% QoQ and 6.1% YoY, due to softer orders received in previous quarters. However, the revenue decline was less than expected.
Operational performance
- EBIT¹ margin improved QoQ slightly above expectations on a lower revenue base with improved efficiency and a seasonally lower cost base.
Outlook
- Improved orders received has increased the order book which is an important step to deliver revenue growth in the future.
- With growth in orders received and order book, we expect gradual improvement in operational performance in 2025.
- Management continues to target margin expansion in the medium term with further build up of the order book for future revenue growth and operational improvement.
Operational performance stable despite QoQ revenue decline, compensated by lower costs. Healthy pipeline and good outlook

Marel Meat
Orders received
- Orders received were soft in the quarter mainly due to delay in projects to 4Q24 and 2025. Market fundamentals in Pork have shown some signs of improvement, especially in certain secondary processing solutions, while the market is still challenging.
- The market environment for Beef continues to be challenging given tight supply and high price levels. Current pipeline is soft and dependent on a few high-value projects, and timing of conversion to orders continues to remain uncertain.
Revenues
- Revenues were stable QoQ, down 1.3% with slightly lower equipment revenues, while aftermarket revenues remained resilient. Lower project revenues are a result of soft project orders received in recent quarters and the low order book.
Operational performance
- EBIT¹ margin improved QoQ and reached positive territory as a result of better mix and continued cost control initiatives.
Outlook
- Continued actions towards driving commercial activity and build up of the order book with a focused portfolio of value-added solutions, continued cost control and measures to improve profitability. Management targets margin expansion in the medium-term for Marel Meat, however the recovery will take time in light of the continued challenging market environment for the meat industry, in particular beef.
Improved operating performance on better margin and mix, and disciplined cost management. Soft orders and outlook colored by challenging market environment

Marel Fish
Orders received
- Orders received were soft in the quarter and below expectations as orders are being delayed and large orders are still lacking.
- Fundamentals have been gradually improving in the salmon industry, while the white fish segment remains challenged. Uncertainty around timing continues to impact conversion to orders.
Revenues
- Revenues were down 19.4% QoQ and 20.7% YoY, due to soft order book and orders received.
Operational performance
- EBIT¹ margin was negative in the quarter, driven mainly by lower revenue base and headwind in mix due to cost overruns on a few projects from an acquisition. Operating cost discipline continues and reductions due to actions on work force and footprint are starting to flow through. Fish has completed consolidation of four production sites into one in Iceland.
Outlook
- Focus remains on improving profitability, increasing orders received and continued cost control.
- Management targets EBIT margin expansion for Marel Fish in the medium-term, with actions to increase commercial success to build up the order book and margin enhancing actions, focused on project control, operational efficiency and cost savings including optimizing manufacturing footprint.

Marel Plant, Pet and Feed
Orders received
- Orders received in 3Q24 were soft compared to a strong 2Q24, partially due to timing of orders.
- Fundamentals are solid and improving somewhat in the pet food industry, while the plant-based segment faces more headwinds with inflation and industry consolidation. Good pipeline, though timing of conversion to orders is uncertain.
Revenues
- Revenues declined slightly QoQ for both projects and aftermarket following a soft start of the year in terms of orders received.
- Revenues in 3Q24 were up 15.1% YoY, mainly driven by growth in project revenues.
Operational performance
- EBIT¹ margin driven by slightly lower volume and headwinds from mix.
Outlook
- Outlook remains solid for Marel Plant, Pet and Feed with good opportunities in the pipeline.
- Management's expectations for PPF's profitability is in line with historical performance.
