Increase in gross margin and in transport costs

HERIGE Group reported like-for-like turnover of €294.4 million for the first six months of 2018, up 4.5% on June 30, 2017 (4.9% at comparable scope1) despite a difficult start to the period and an unusual month of May.

The positive drive in activity saw the Group's consolidated gross margin increase to €110.9 million at comparable scope1, up €3.2 million on the first six months of 2017 to stand at 37.7% of turnover.

The progressive recovery in activity led to an increase in HERIGE's external costs (+7.9%), primarily linked to transport, taking Group's current operating income to €3.3 million compared to €3.7 million one year earlier.

Group net profit amounted to a positive €0.9 million for first-half 2018 after €2.0 million for first-half 2017 and was essentially impacted by various extraordinary costs.

Financial situation: ramp-up in industrial investments and drop in net debt

HERIGE Group continued with its investment program over the first six months of 2018 (€8.1 million on June 30), more than 60% of which is devoted to its industrial activities.

Consolidated shareholders' equity stood at €109.8 million on June 30, 2018. Net financial debt came in at €83.3 million after €88.1 million on June 30, 2017, resulting in a net gearing ratio of 76% versus 78% for the prior-year period.

1Building Materials Trading restated for the sale of VM Piscines and the closure of LNTP Tours.

Outlook and developments

Faced with a slowdown in the construction market and a wait-and-see climate linked to future regulations, HERIGE is continuing to focus on a strategic roadmap for its business divisions that will enable it to confirm profitable and lasting growth.
