Novem Group S.A.: Q1 2024/25 figures show a soft start to the year
Luxembourg, 14 August 2024 – Novem Group S.A. today published its figures for the first quarter of its financial year 2024/25. In the first three months of 2024/25, the Company generated a total revenue of €140.1 million and fell short of previous year by -20.0% driven by the lacklustre demand. For the reporting period, Novem recorded an Adj. EBIT margin1 of 10.1% despite persistently weak market conditions. Europe and Asia impacted by subdued demand In Q1 2024/25, revenue Series of €119.8 million declined by -20.6% compared to prior year, primarily due to the poor market environment. Revenue Tooling of €20.3 million decreased by -16.1% in comparison to last year. By segments, revenue in Europe (€-39.4 million y/y) was well below previous year’s level due to continued weak customer call-offs. In contrast, revenue in Americas (€+10.2 million y/y) showed an increase on the back of the strong demand for SUVs. Declining revenue in Asia (€-5.8 million y/y) was adversely influenced by the lower consumer sentiment and product mix shifts. Adj. EBIT amounted to €14.2 million in Q1 2024/25, resulting in a solid profit margin of 10.1% (PY: 11.4%). Bottom line was negatively affected by above-average labour costs as well as an unfavourable product mix. However, footprint optimisations, reinforced cost management and customer compensation payments supported the operating result. Increased capex in preparation for new platforms Free cash flow1 for the reporting period came in at €-3.0 million. The deterioration against previous year (€11.2 million) was largely driven by lower profit, higher stock levels and the utilisation of provisions. Capital expenditure1 of €5.0 million in Q1 2024/25 was significantly higher than last year’s figure of €3.4 million, largely attributable to growth investments. In view of the lower turnover, this translated into a considerably higher capex ratio of 3.6% (PY: 1.9%). Elevated net leverage As of 30 June 2024, total working capital1 amounted to €142.2 million, 1.2% higher than prior year (€140.5 million). The variance of €-1.7 million was largely attributable to higher tooling net and lower payables. Gross financial debt1 of €305.5 million rose by €17.0 million in comparison to the first quarter of last year (€288.5 million). As of 30 June 2024, net financial debt1 increased noticeably to €171.2 million compared to €118.7 million in previous year. Accordingly, the net leverage ratio1 of 1.8x Adj. EBITDA1 also stood above prior year (1.0x).
