Annual results

  • U10 registered a very good performance in the second half compared with H1 2020 that was severely impacted by the closure of distributors.
  • On that basis, EBITDA for the second half alone reached €4.3 million or nearly the total amount for EBITDA for all of 2019, confirming the relevance of the digital transition carried out by U10 prior to the health crisis.
  • Despite this, a net loss was recorded for the year linked to the poor H1 performance and non- recurring expenses.
  • Working Capital Requirements decreased by €15.5 million, strengthening free cash flow.
  • Net debt has continued to decline, ending the year at €20.6 million. In the last two years, financial debt has thus been reduced by €33.8 million.
  • Short-termcash flow is positive at €12.9 million, based on net inflows of €30.7 million in the period.

Operating highlights

  • In January, U10 launched its B2B digital order management platform. This new tool, perfectly adapted to current needs for remote business functionalities, was particularly well-received.
  • In Europe, U10 has fully benefited from the continuing strength of demand for home products in the beginning of 2021.
  • U10 will not propose the distribution of a dividend at the Annual General Meeting to be held on 2 June 2021. Depending on the evolution of the health crisis, the company reserves the possibility of organising this meeting as a closed-door session.
