SURTECO GROUP SE: Sales up compared with previous year on the back of Omnova integration; Ongoing weak demand and one-off exceptional effects impact negatively on earnings

  • Group sales increase by 3 % to € 429 million
  • EBIT at € 7.6 million, adjusted EBIT at € 20.9 million

SURTECO GROUP SE, holding company for leading national and international brands of surface technology, succeeded in increasing sales by 3 % compared with the previous half year to € 428.8 million on the back of integration of sales from the acquisition of the Omnova divisions in March 2023. However, a significant reduction in demand, particularly in Europe and North America, and one-off costs in connection with the Omnova acquisition and the purchase price allocation (PPA) exerted a negative impact on the result. Earnings before financial result and income tax (EBIT) amounted to € 7.6 million and were consequently -77 % below the equivalent year-earlier value. Adjusted by all one-off expenses, adjusted EBIT amounted to € 20.9 million. Adjusted EBITDA was € 45.1 million after € 55.2 million in the previous year.

The company introduced measures in the areas of pricing, personnel, purchasing, operations and working capital in order to improve earnings. However, additional one-off restructuring expenses will be incurred in the second half year of 2023. As a consequence, reported EBIT of € 20 to 30 million (original forecast: € 45 to 55 million) is now anticipated for the business year 2023. Adjusted EBIT for the year overall is projected to be in the range of the original EBIT forecast.

All the measures are designed to achieve sustained EBIT above € 60 million and EBITDA above € 110 million before one-off effects starting from the business year 2024.

“In the original forecast, we assumed a revival of demand in the second half year of 2023. Unfortunately, the trajectory in the important markets of Europe and North America is trending in a different direction. As a consequence, we have put together a comprehensive package of measures in order to take decisive action and provide a counterweight,” commented Wolfgang Moyses, Chairman of the Management Board of SURTECO GROUP SE.
