Earnings
PCAS Group generated consolidated net sales of €102.3 million as of June 30, 2019, representing an increase of 1.9% compared to the same period during the previous financial year (+0.6% at a constant exchange rate).
EBITDA stands at €7.2 million at June 30, 2019, against €8.9 million at June 30, 2018, impacted by the operational difficulties mentioned during the first quarter and which have continued, even though indicators are moving in the right direction.
The Group's net income for its part stands at -€8.7 million in the 1st half of 2019, compared to -€5.0 million in the 1st half of 2018, including a net expense of €3.8 million concerning the Longjumeau reorganization plan announced in November 2018 and taking into account all the estimated costs of the employment protection plan and costs of the relocation measures concerning the personnel moving to the Ecully and Porcheville sites. The 2018 half-yearly financial statements included a non-recurring expense of €5.4 million euros due to asset impairment following the disposal of Enersens.
Outlook for the current year
As announced in July, in 2019 the Group’s net sales should show a slight growth despite the operational difficulties that continued throughout the first six months of the year in the Pharmaceutical Synthesis business and which are currently making it difficult to anticipate trends in the Group's results.
