19 August 2024 - R&S Group Holding AG (SIX: RSGN) today announced further key figures (unaudited) for the first half-year (H1) 2024. As previously reported, H1 2024 net sales amounted to CHF 109.9 million, corresponding to an organic growth of 15% when adjusting H1 2023 for the sale of SERW, the divested high-voltage switches business in the Czech Republic. H1 2024 order intake of CHF 141.0 million, an increase of 18%, and a record order backlog of CHF 218.2 million as of 30 June 2024 are testimony to the positive momentum in R&S Group's focus markets. Operating performance in H1 2024 was above expectations with an adjusted EBIT of CHF 25.5 million, equivalent to an adjusted EBIT margin of 23.2%. This compares to an adjusted EBIT of CHF 18.1 million and an adjusted EBIT margin of 19.0%, respectively, in H1 2023, an adjusted EBIT increase of 41%. Higher than expected tax expenses due to a non-recurring tax payment of CHF 3.7 million relating to prior tax periods had a negative impact on H1 2024 net profit, which amounted to adjusted CHF 17.3 million compared to adjusted CHF 14.2 million in H1 2023. Adjusted free cash flow amounted to CHF 7.5 million in H1 2024, compared to CHF -1.9 million (adjusted) in the prior half-year period. Following the dividend payment of CHF 6.9 million and a repayment of financial liabilities in the amount of CHF 7 million in H1 2024, the net financial position as of 30 June 2024 amounted to CHF 5.1 million. The balance sheet contains a strong liquidity position of CHF 44 million as of 30 June 2024 and 1 million treasury shares at an actual market value of around CHF 14 million.
