Sébastien Baril, Chairman of the SergeFerrari Group's Executive Board, stated:"The revenues we are reporting for Q4 2024 confirm the upturn in business that began in Q2 2024, enabling us to achieve a level of full-year revenues comparable to that of 2023. As expected, during the year we deployed the final initiatives of the Transform 2025 plan, notably with the implementation of new synergies within the Group. In the second half of the year, the Group implemented a number of measures to mitigate the impact of tensions on certain raw materials
Activity as of December 31, 2024: revenues of €323.6 million
The Group reported revenues of €323.6 million for the full-year 2024, down slightly by -1.2% on a current consolidation scope and exchange rate basis, and by -1.0% on a constant basis. The level of business recorded over the 12 months confirms the gradual recovery in volumes observed since the end of the 1st half of 2024.
This global trend is the result of dynamics that remain highly contrasted according to the geographic zones addressed:
The Europe region has returned to the level of activity observed in 2023, with revenues almost on a par with the previous period, down -0.1% on a current consolidation scope and exchange rate basis, and -0.2% on a constant scope.
The Americas region continues to be penalized by a wait-and-see environment with the post-election transition in the United States and recorded a decline in revenues of -11.0% on a current consolidation scope and exchange rate, and -10.6% on a constant scope.
The Asia-Pacific-Middle East-Africa region posted revenues down slightly (-0.6%) at current exchange rates and reporting entity, but up 2.1% at constant exchange rates and reporting entity.
4th quarter 2024 activity: revenues of €89.8 million
Revenues for the 4th quarter 2024 amounted to €89.8 million, up +13.6% both on a current and constant scopes, compared with the 4th quarter 2023, boosted by the upturn in business across all the Group's geographical regions.
The global trend for this 4th quarter 2024 results from:
- The Europe region that accelerated its recovery (+11.3%), driven by all its strategic markets;
- The Americas region that is experiencing a significant recovery (+14.3%), mainly in the Tensile Architecture and Modular Structure markets;
- The APMEA region, which marks the end of Tensile Architecture's product lag (+21.2%), more than offsetting the delay accumulated over the first 3 quarters of the year.
And consists of:
- A price/mix effect of -8.7%;
- The absence of any significant currency impact;
- A strong volume effect, up +22.3%.
Outlook
The rebound in business activity towards the end of the year should enable SergeFerrari Group to improve its operating profitability in the second half, while posting a net loss for the year. On the strength of these initial positive impacts, the Group intends to continue implementing the various operating efficiency measures set out in the Transform 2025 plan over the coming year. The full-year effects of this plan, combined with the current improvement in economic conditions in all our markets, confirm the Group's ambition to return rapidly to profitability.
