During the 4th quarter of 2021, the Precia Molen Group confirmed its drive, with revenue of 42.2 million of euros (+8.8% compared to the fourth quarter of 2020, i.e. growth of 15% compared to the fourth quarter of 2019). Organic growth for the quarter was 6.1%, characterized by strong growth in France, Poland, India and China.

For the full year, revenue amounted to 150.7 million of euros, up by 10.9% compared to 2020. At constant scope and exchange rates, organic growth amounted to +9.4%, the impact of changes in perimeters amounted to 1.4% (acquisition of Creative IT), currency effects are negligent. Organic growth is clearly marked by the global economic recovery. It is characterized by the very good performance of France, our historical market, with growth of 8.8%, particularly in Precia SA. Asia-Pacific also recorded remarkable growth of 48.5%, driven in particular by India, as well as China, Malaysia and New Zealand. Europe excluding France remains solid, with growth of 2.1%.

Portfolio and outlook 2022

The order portfolio at the end of December 2021 showed an increase of 33.2% compared to the end of 2020 (of which 5.9% was generated by Creative IT). This strongly rising portfolio and order intake records, which remained at a good level at the beginning of the year, augur well for a good year 2022 despite the economic and geopolitical context.
