Press Release
Le Bourget-du-Lac, July 12th, 2021 - 18h CEST
Revenue first Semester 2021: EUR2.9m, +13% vs S1 2020
New major projects in the beauty market
Strong increase in order portfolio close to EUR3 million
Roctool (Euronext Growth - FR0010523167 - ALROC), specialist in mold heating and cooling technologies for plastics and
composites, announces the activity of the first semester of 2021, consolidated revenues of EUR2.9m, i.e. an increase of
13% vs S1 2020. Roctool continues its acceleration in the beauty market, which is particularly attracted by the low
environmental impact technology (24% of total S1 2021 sales, i.e. +121% vs S1 2020).
Positive indicators
Confirming the relevance of the offer, the order portfolio continues to grow strongly, reaching nearly EUR3m as of June
30th, 2021 (with a large part of it planned for S2 2021), despite a commercial prospecting that remains complicated,
with difficulties to travel and a large number of trade shows still at a standstill. However, the teams were able to
attend the Chinaplas in Shenzhen (China) in April, allowing them to see the renewed optimism of the Asian manufacturing
industry.
Sales of goods are up 6%. While system sales were down slightly, sales of mold components rose sharply, demonstrating
the increased use of the technology.
Sales of services are up strongly (+39% vs S1 2020). Despite the health crisis (and the related travel difficulties)
which persisted throughout S1, the strong mobilization of the teams made it possible to respond to the various
installations and process start-ups. This also demonstrates the relevance of the Group's restructuring carried out in
2020, which has not impacted the ability to support international customers.
As expected, sales of licenses/royalties fell by 13% due to a purely mechanical effect.
Low environmental-impact technology now in demand
Confirming a growing market demand, sustainability is becoming a major focus for the adoption of Roctool technology in
several segments.
Long focused on surface quality advantages, the improved performance of the molding process is positioning Roctool as a
credible player in the transition of manufacturing activities towards more sustainable molding processes: reduction of
CO² emissions, reduction of plastic quantity thanks to thin molding, improvement of part quality made with recyclable
and recycled materials.
These three major factors are now attracting a growing number of global customers.
A solid outlook
During the first half of the year, Roctool continued its strategy of developing partnerships with:
- Several beauty brands already using Roctool technology, and new brands in the pipeline.
- The installation of a first Roctool system in the Chinese factory of the Rosti Group, an international specialist in
plastic injection molding, where the adoption of Roctool technology in the manufacturing process will allow up to 40%
reduction in CO² thanks to the patented heating and cooling processes.
- First representative projects in the sustainable-energy sector, notably on the development of new solar panels and
for the realization of systems for the manufacturing of new generation fuel cells.
On the strength of a renewed commercial dynamic, the significant effects of its restructuring plan that began in 2020,
and the better product/service ratio in S1 2021, Roctool should increase its operating profitability.
