The Sabaf Group aims to become a key player in the large induction cooking market
Through this strategic investment Sabaf intends to turn out as leader and innovator not only in the mechanical sector, but also in electronics and new technologies
The inclusion of induction technology will lead the Group to be one of the few players able to fully cover all the three cooking surface technologies (gas, radiant and induction)
Sabaf aims to carry on along the sustainable growth path in the respect of the environment
This project will push Sabaf to a further evolution and deep transformation in the next few years

2022
The Sabaf Group enters the
INDUCTION COOKING SECTOR
Sabaf Induction: business strategy

The European market of induction cooking components, estimated at around €500 million
- Steady growth for several years at a rate of over 10%
- Highly concentrated market with few players (Technological complexity)
Investment plan
- About €5 million in R&D in the period 2021 2023
- Setting up of a dedicated project team in Italy
R&D
MARKET
PROJECT
- Sabaf has developed its own project know-how internally by filing proprietary patents, software and hardware
- Creation of innovative products which better meet manufacturers' needs and new consumer trends
- The Group benefits from the expertise gained from the acquisitions of Okida and P.G.A. where part of the induction cooking components will be produced
- Team of more than 60 electronic engineers
The project technological flexibility will enable Sabaf to offer to its clients customised products

Sabaf Induction: business strategy


- 5 product platforms which cover the whole market (high, medium and basic range) with customisation opportunities
- The first prototypes were released in September 2022
- Production will start by the third quarter of 2023
- Sabaf network for sales and distribution
- Very positive customer feedback (agreements with some important players have been already signed)
- Objective: at least 5% of the non-captive European market by 2025, further expansion in the following years

P.G.A. acquisition



P.G.A. acquisition
The acquisition

- 100% of the share capital
- Preliminary valuation amounting to €9.76 million → 5x EBITDA (average annual consolidated 2020 2022)
- The purchase price will be determined on the basis of the final P.G.A. Group 2022 EBITDA and of the net financial position at the date of completion of the transaction
- 75% paid in a single payment
- 25% paid through the sale of Sabaf treasury shares
- Possible further price adjustment ("earn-out"), linked to the achievement of the Sabaf Group Electronics Division objectives
-
Andrea and Paolo Cennimo remain at the head of P.G.A. as Chief Executive Officers
-
The strategy
- The acquisition of P.G.A. reflects the aim of diversification and expansion of the offer defined in our Business Plan
- P.G.A. integrates perfectly with Okida, the Sabaf Group's company which is already active in the electronics sector and which is increasingly contributing to the Group's results
- The Electronics Division plays a decisive role in Sabaf's strategic development into a group with a full-fledged presence in advanced technologies in the household appliance industry → Electronics allows to reach diversified future expansions and higher profitability level

2023 Outlook

In the first quarter of 2023
- demand has normalised
- energy prices have fallen sharply
- commodity prices are gradually trending towards lower average levels than in 2022
- The destocking that characterized the second half of last year is now over
- Sales in the first half of 2023, while not reaching the records of early 2022, are expected to be higher in the second half of 2022
These factors, combined with:
- a very positive market response for induction cooking components
- the contribution of the new production plants in India and Mexico and
- the integration of P.G.A. (acquired in 2022) into the Electronics Division
lead us to expect a year of progressive and substantial recovery.
The implementation of the Business Plan, including the acceleration of growth through acquisitions, continues as planned.
The Board of Directors will propose to the shareholders to allocate the profit for the year of €2,246,997 entirely to the Extraordinary Reserve, in order to keep within the Group the financial resources needed to accelerate the path of growth and to be able to take advantage of opportunities even in the short term, consistently with the goals of the Business Plan.

CO2 Emissions of gas hobs vs. induction hobs in Italy (from Journal of Cleaner production)

CO2 Emissions of gas hobs vs. electric induction hobs
- Gas hob emission 1,050 / induction hob emission 1,590 = 1.51
- CO2 emissions Break-Even Point Gas vs. Induction is:
315 / 1.51 = 208 g CO2eq /kWh → equivalent to ~70% of electric power generated by renewable energy sources
A necessary condition for an induction hob to generate lower CO2 emissions than a gas hob is that the electricity is produced with a % of renewable sources (or nuclear energy) greater than 70%.
Countries that have less than 70% renewable energy pollute more if they use electric induction hobs than gas.


High efficiency burners


ESG Performance - Environment Hydrogen: project Hy4Heat

The Hy4Heat project aims to establish whether it is technically possible, safe and convenient to replace natural gas (methane) with 100% hydrogen in residential and commercial buildings and gas appliances. The Hy4Heat project is financed by BEIS, (the UK governments Department for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy) and involves ten separate work packages
The SABAF Group, through its subsidiary ARC, is involved in Work Package 4, which covers cooking and heating appliances. ARC has developed and produced the burners that have now been specified on the world's first UKCA Certified ranges of 100% hydrogen hobs and cookers. These have been installed on the cooking appliances Glen Dimpex at HyHome, two purpose built houses demonstrating hydrogen appliances in a 'real life' scenario at Low Thornley, near Gateshead in the North of England
Immediately following the Hy4Heat project, cooking appliances incorporating ARC burners will be specified for the Community Trial involving 300 homes commencing in 2022. Beyond the Community Trial, the UK Government intends to commission a 'Village Trial' with around 2,500 homes in 2025 and a 'Town Trial' (10,000 homes) in the latter part of the decade prior to potentially converting the whole UK gas grid to hydrogen over future years
ARC is involved also in Work Package 5B (Commercial hydrogen gas appliance development) which , includes commercial catering equipment where ARC has developed commercial hob burners for Falcon Foodservice Equipment Ltd
