Encouraging trend for Rational AG in the first half of 2024
Landsberg am Lech, 6 August 2024 “ The figures for the first half of 2024 are again very strong, as we have become used to. But what matters more to us than any financial indicators is the customer. I am therefore all the more pleased that our 2024 customer satisfaction survey once again produced very good results,” says Rational’s CEO Dr Peter Stadelmann. On the morning of 6 August 2024, the company, headquartered in Landsberg am Lech, Germany, published its report for the first six months of 2024. Sales revenues reach new record level in the second quarter of 2024 In the first half year of 2024, Rational experienced strong demand from Asia, with successful developments in China and Japan contributing to a 13 percent growth in the region. North and Latin America also surpassed the previous year by 6 and 7 percent, respectively. Mixed performance in individual European countries meant that sales revenues in the Europe region (excluding Germany) were on a level with the previous year. Established markets like Italy, Benelux, Spain, and Sweden did not meet the previous year’s numbers, but significant growth was observed in Eastern Europe. Conversely, France and the United Kingdom, two of the largest European markets, slightly improved upon their already high figures from the previous year. In Rational’s home market of Germany, sales revenues were down 4 percent on the previous year. “The slight dip is primarily due to the exceptionally high sales revenues recorded in Germany in the first quarter of the preceding year. This development was significantly influenced by the reduction of the high order backlog at that time. The situation in Germany returned to normal in the second quarter,” adds Jörg Walter. Sales revenues in the iVario product group continued to build on the early-year success, with an 11 percent increase after six months. Similarly, the iCombi product group saw a 3 percent rise in sales revenues during the same period. EBIT up 10 percent, outpacing sales revenue growth – EBIT margin at 25.6 percent This favourable trend in the gross margin positively influenced EBIT (earnings before financial result and taxes). Despite operating costs climbing at a faster rate than sales revenues, EBIT grew by 10 percent to 149.0 million euros in the first half of 2024 (2023: 136.0 million euros). This translates to an EBIT margin of 25.6 percent (2023: 24.3 percent). Number of employees rises to 2,657 Rational’s customers remain highly satisfied “Our goal is to provide maximum benefit to individuals in large-scale and commercial kitchens. To achieve this, we routinely ask our customers if they would recommend Rational to their business partners, friends, or acquaintances. The outcome is reflected in the Net Promoter Score, or NPS for short,” explains Rational’s CEO. With an NPS of 60 points in 2024, the company maintains its position as a leader in customer satisfaction. Based on data from Rational, peer groups typically score between 30 and 40 points. “We greatly appreciate our customers’ constructive feedback. We acknowledge that we did not fully meet our customers’ expectations for top-quality and first-class service across all regions. We take this feedback seriously and are actively implementing concrete improvements,” adds Dr Stadelmann. 2024 forecast confirmed Contact: Rational Aktiengesellschaft Stefan Arnold / Head of Investor Relations E-mail: ir@rational-online.com Editorial note: The Rational Group is the global market and technology leader for thermal preparation of food in professional kitchens.
