Angelo Mastrolia, the Chairman of Newlat Food, commented: "2020 was a particularly challenging year in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this last year it was essential to reconcile the protection of the health of our employees and the increasing demand for food products, both nationally and internationally.
2020 was, moreover, the first year that we faced in full as a listed company and, despite the difficulties due to the pandemic also in terms of investors relations and the performance of the stock, we are satisfied as the Company has shown great competence in relating to the market and in maintaining the commitments undertaken during the IPO phase.
The year that has just ended has also marked the year of an important acquisition that has allowed us to reach the first half billion Euros in revenue, a goal that is not to be taken for granted in view of the difficulties encountered during the pandemic. The result of the acquisition is even more significant if we consider that in a few months we turned around a company – Centrale del Latte d'Italia S.p.A., which in 2019 had closed its accounts with a heavy loss – and made it performing and profitable.
The overall Group result for 2020 allows us to look to the future with optimism, having achieved an EBITDA of € 51.4 million and a net profit of € 38.6 million. These results have allowed us to generate an excellent FCF which, together with the resources collected with the placement of the Bond issued in February 2021, allow us to have considerable resources available to continue with the external growth strategy in order to achieve, within the next 12-24 months, a billion euros in turnover.
Our management is committed to achieving the objectives of further growth through acquisitions and, considering the various dossiers we are examining, we are confident that an important acquisition can be announced by 2021."
