Management report on the interim consolidated financial statements at30th June 2023

The Board of Directors meeting on 22nd September 2023 reviewed the interim consolidated financial statements as at 30th June 2023.

These interim consolidated financial statements have not been audited, nor have they been subject to a limited review by the independent statutory auditor.

Activities

The Company holds interests in companies that operate directly or indirectly in Tropical Africa, in the production of rubber and palm oil.

Portfolio

There were no changes in the portfolio during the first half 2023.

Consolidated income

At 30th June 2023, the consolidated result attributable to the Group is EUR 31.4 million compared to EUR 58.1 million at 30th June 2022. This results in a net profit per share of EUR 1.76 compared to EUR 3.26 as at 30th June 2022.

Consolidated revenues for the first half of 2023 amount to EUR 325.3 million compared to EUR 363.4 million in the previous year (EUR -38.1 million). This decrease in turnover is mainly due to the decrease in quantities sold

(EUR -20.1 million) and to the exchange rate effect between the sales currencies (EUR -25.7 million), slightly compensated by the increase in prices (EUR +10.5 million).

Operating profits amount to EUR 103.2 million compared to EUR 144.3 million at 30th June 2022.

EBITDA amounts to EUR 145.9 million versus EUR 168.0 million during the first half of 2022.

Financial expenses amount to EUR 25.4 million at 30th June 2023 compared to EUR 22.7 million at 30th June 2022. This change is mainly due to foreign exchange losses for EUR 17.3 million (compared to EUR 14.7 million in 2022).

Other financial income amount to EUR 6.1 million (EUR 4.4 million at 30th June 2022). They are mainly due to foreign exchange gains.

The income tax expense is at EUR 35.1 million compared to EUR 37.7 million at 30th June 2022 due to the decrease in the net profit before tax.

The deferred tax income amount to EUR 0.2 million at 30th June 2023, compared to a deferred tax expense of EUR 4.4 million at 30th June 2022.

Consolidated statement of financial position

As at 30th June 2023, Socfinaf's total balance sheet amounts to EUR 883.4 million which represent a decrease of EUR 20.2 million compared to the position as at 31st December 2022.

Socfinaf's assets consist of:

  • non-currentassets amounting to EUR 631.9 million compared to EUR 673.8 million as at 31st December 2022, a decrease of EUR 41.9 million mainly linked to the foreign exchange difference on property, plant and equipment (impact of EUR -39.6 million);
  • current assets amounting to EUR 252.2 million compared to EUR 229.8 million as at 31st December 2022, an increase of EUR 22.4 million mostly explained by increase in cash position for EUR 21.5 million, a decrease in inventories for EUR 5.1 million and an increase in trade receivables for 10.7 million.
