Orders received and revenues
Orders received
EUR 393.4m, up 0.2% QoQ and down 3.2% YoY
Poultry had a soft quarter, mainly due to timing and orders shifting to 2H24, orders in PPF improved significantly QoQ, and meat and fish showed some improvement.
Short-term uncertainty remains due to persistent inflation, high-interest rate environment and rising geopolitical tensions, and time to secure down payments and provide financial security on orders continues to take longer.
Market fundamentals are improving on the back of robust commercial campaigns and trade-show activity, outlook improving and pick up expected in 2H24.
Revenues
EUR 415.2m, up 0.6% QoQ and down 1.0% YoY
Revenues declined YoY due to low project revenues resulting from low orders received in the recent quarters and soft order book.
Project revenues at EUR 214.2m in 2Q24, up 3.5% QoQ and down 4.5% YoY (1Q24: 206.9m, 2Q23: 224.4m). In comparison, average quarterly project revenues in the past 8 quarters were approximately EUR 240m per quarter, or 11% higher than 2Q24.

Further cost initiatives actioned include footprint rationalization, lower personnel cost and hiring freeze, and improved control on non-product related spend.
Gross profit

Cash flow bridge
Operating cash flow
Operating cash flow was EUR -4.0m (1Q24: 26.2m, 2Q23: 27.1m).
Operating cash flow contracted in the quarter mainly attributable to timing of accounts receivables and lower net contract liabilities due to book-to-bill ratio below one or 0.95.
CAPEX¹ was EUR 5.6m (1Q24: 6.6m, 2Q23: 15.4m), or 1.3% of revenues in the quarter (1Q24: 1.6%, 2Q23: 3.6%), 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 flow² was negative by EUR 22.0m in the quarter (1Q24: 11.2m, 2Q23: -6.1m).
Net interest bearing debt up by EUR 49.0m in the quarter due to unfavorable working capital movements.
Leverage
Leverage³ increased to 3.9x, and increased QoQ due to higher net debt. The leverage covenant is 4.5x in 2Q24 with linear stepdown to 4.0x for 4Q24.
Liquidity as of 30 June 2024 amounts to EUR 327.6m consisting of cash on hand (EUR 29.7m) and committed credit facilities maturing in more than one year (EUR 297.8m).
Operating cash flow mainly impacted by unfavorable movements in working capital

Marel Poultry
Orders received
- Soft orders received in 2Q24 mainly due to orders shifting between quarters as customers are taking longer to discuss scope and making a final decision. Market fundamentals continue to improve and pipeline is healthy for 2H24.

- EBIT¹ margin declined in line with lower volume and cost coverage, partially offset by strong projects margin due to improved project control and mix.
Outlook
- Soft orders received for large projects and low level of the order book are expected to negatively impact operating performance for Poultry in 3Q24 compared to 2Q24.
- Project orders received expected to be materially stronger in 2H24 building up the order book for gradual improvement in operational performance in 4Q24 and into 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.
