Despite the post-pandemic uncertainty and the scenario of armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine, in the second quarter of 2022 Ramada Group continued the positive trend seen in the first quarter of 2022, reaching significant growth in sales.

The Steel activity recorded a turnover significantly higher than the same period of 2021, being relevant the contribution of the moulds sector, which stood out with sharp growth rates throughout the semester. This acceleration boosted growth in the machining sector, with this sector registering significant increases in the provision of conventional and customized machining services.

In metalworking, demand was more stable and year-on-year growth was mainly a result of price increases. Towards the end of the semester there was a slowdown in consumption and the market's expectation for a price decrease was noticeable.

With the uncertainty caused by the war in Ukraine, the first semester was marked by inflationary pressures, with particular relevance in energy prices. It is expected that this upward trend will continue in the coming months, which lead the Group to increase prices mainly in thermal treatments where energy consumption is relevant.

In order to partially mitigate the impact of the increase in energy prices and simultaneously contribute to a better environmental performance, a Photovoltaic Plant for self-consumption (Ramada Solar) is being installed, with the start of production of the first Megawatt planned for the second half of 2022.

Due to the rise in prices and the constraints in the supply chain, inventory management was necessarily one of the pillars of action in this semester, requiring constant attention to market movements.

Demand was at high levels, with steel mills' production deadlines increasing by two more months compared to the usual deadlines. The difficulties in the supply of materials are increasing, both due to the crisis in Ukraine and Russia, and to price increases from China. This was a point that focused attention throughout the semester and will certainly be a determining point for the Group's performance throughout this year.

The Group continues to focus on exports and on increasing its customer portfolio to ensure future growth and less dependence on the domestic market. In the first semester of 2022, the sales of the Steel activity to the external market represented 8.7% of the turnover, registering a growth of 70.8% compared to the same period in 2021. The Spanish market continues to be the leader where the steel shortage is generating many opportunities.

In the first half of 2022, the Wire Drawing activity also registered a significant growth in turnover, compared to the same period of the previous year. The Wire Drawing activity operates essentially for the external market, which in the first half of 2022 represented 75.4% of turnover, with the USA and Spain standing out with 34% and 27% respectively. In the same period in 2021, exports represented 66% of turnover.
