Inflation, higher financing costs and increased competition impact demand on almost all sales markets. Sales in Germany, the STEICO Group’s main market, were particularly affected, falling by 29.1% in the first nine months. In addition to the weak new construction sector, the ongoing insecurity concerning the underlying political conditions led to renovation work being perceptibly put back to a later date. Towards the end of the third quarter, however, the pickup in demand increasingly gained momentum. On the whole, sales in the first nine months were down by 19.1% to Isolated view of the third quarter 2023 During the third quarter of 2023 sales in the STEICO Group amounted to € 92.4 million. This corresponds to a decrease of 17.1% (previous year: € 111.4 million). Gross profits in the third quarter amounted to € 40.5 million and were thus down by 13.8% compared to the same period of the previous year (Q3 2022: € 46.9 million). EBITDA in the third quarter amounted to € 17.2 million and was thus 31.4% lower than in the previous year (Q3 2022: € 25.1 million). The EBITDA margin in the third quarter was 19.3% (previous year: 21.6%). EBIT in the third quarter totaled € 9.7 million, which corresponds to a downturn of 49.2% (Q3 2022: € 19.0 million). The EBIT margin in the third quarter was 10.8% (previous year: 16.4%). EBT in the third quarter totaled € 8.0 million, which corresponds to a downturn of 57.1% (Q3 2022: € 18.6 million).

Outlook The majority of companies in the timber construction sector continue to have an order backlog through to 2024, which is having a stabilising effect. At the same time, the company’s management believes that activities will shift significantly to the renovation sector, which means that the stabilisation is expected to continue into the fourth quarter.
