The net profit of the Industry segment in the first quarter of 2022, in the amount of 3,917 thousand Euro, represented an increase of 113.3% compared to the net profit of the same period of previous year.

In the first three months of 2022, Ramada Group reached record turnover figures, as a result of price increases and volume growth that occurred in all sectors of activity.

The Moulds sector was where there was a more accelerated growth in this period, with increases in demand in quantity, especially in large pieces, which led to a need to reinforce the purchases of materials at higher prices. This acceleration in the Moulds sector leveraged the growth in the machining sector, and this sector registered significant increases in the rendering of conventional and customized machining services.

In the Metalworking sector, demand is currently more stable, and the year-on-year growth was stimulated essentially by the price factor. The reduction in quantities sold is largely related to the industrial downturn resulting from the pandemic and the shortage of electronic components, such as chips.

The rise in electricity and natural gas prices had a significant impact on the Group's profitability. With the uncertainty caused by the war in Ukraine, energy costs have increased significantly and this scenario is likely to continue for some time. In order to partially mitigate this impact and simultaneously improve environmental performance, the Group decided to invest in a self-consumption photovoltaic power plant (Ramada Solar), with the start-up of the first megawatt production planned for the first half of 2022.

Due to the rise in prices, stock management was necessarily one of the pillars of action at the beginning of the year, requiring constant attention to market movements. Additionally, demand was at very high levels, with steel mills' production deadlines being extended by two months more than usual. The difficulties in the supply of materials are increasing, both due to the crisis in Ukraine and Russia, and to price increases from China. At the same time, there were also difficulties in transport, which caused even more uncertainty in the supply chain.

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 quarter of 2022, the sales of the Steel activity to the external market represented 7.6% of the turnover, registering a growth of 31.4% compared to the same period of 2021. In exports, the start was lower than the same period of the previous year, but now with a higher number of projects for moldmakers in Spain and Germany. The follow-up work in the field consolidated the relationship and the customers' confidence in our capacity and competence.

In the first quarter of 2022, the wire drawing activity registered a record growth in turnover, compared to the same period of the previous year.

The wire drawing activity operates essentially for the foreign market, which in the first quarter of 2022 represented 72.7% of turnover. In the same period of 2021, exports represented 64.2% of turnover.
