The Q1-24 highlighted a trend continuity with the second part of last year, achieving an increase in organic turnover at constant exchange rates at a high single digit rate

Volume growth, together with partial improvements in industrial costs, allowed a further improvement in margins in the first quarter of this year

Excellent performance over the previous 12 months, mainly thanks to strong cash generation from operations

Strong positive financial position, even after the net absorption in relation to the closing of the professional coffee deal

  • The Group has expanded its turnover by close to 10% thanks to the strong organic growth realised in recent months and the one-month consolidation of the business combination in professional coffee.
  • Group's revenues reached €658.8 million, showing a 9.4% increase compared to the previous year, thanks to a like-for-like growth of 5.9%, which was 7.3% at constant exchange rates.
  • South-WesternEurope experienced organic growth of roughly 10%, in line with the main trends identified in the second half of 2023;
  • North-EasternEurope witnessed significant organic revenue growth for the fourth consecutive quarter, reinforced by the high-teens performance in the early months of 2024. We observe the continuation of the favourable trend of the UK and Poland, with an acceleration in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary area;
  • the MEIA area has gone through a decline in turnover, which has been heavily influenced by a complex macro and geopolitical context;
  • the Americas area achieved an increase in turnover of around 10%, thanks to the consolidation of La Marzocco and mid-single digit organic growth, supported mainly by the performance of the nutrition and food preparation sector driven by the expansion of Nutribullet's products;
  • the Asia Pacific region, which was the only one to show growth in the Q1-23, maintains a turnover in line with 2023, highlighting a partial decline at an organic level, however growth was seen to be accelerating in countries like Australia and New Zealand.

  • the net industrial margin stood at €335.4 million, equal to 50.9% of revenues, compared to 50.5% in 2023, benefiting from a positive effect of the mix and an easing of inflationary pressures on product costs;
  • the Ebitda adjusted was €93.8 million, or 14.2% of revenues compared to 12.3% the previous year. The expansion of volumes, a further partial easing of inflationary pressures on some industrial costs and an investment in media and communication in line respect to 2023 (A&P on revenues at 11.2%), have supported an improvement in margins, despite an increase in labour costs and organizational structures.

among others:

  • flat A&P investments,
  • lower logistic and industrial costs.
