STEICO SE: Sales soar in first quarter. EBIT more than doubles. * Preliminary figures confirmed by final financial statements 2020 Feldkirchen near Munich, 27 April 2021 - Today the STEICO group (ISIN DE000A0LR936) released its annual report for the financial year 2020 and its interim report for the first quarter 2021. Business Development 2020
The first half of 2020 was dominated by the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated restrictions. The second half of the year, on the other hand, was characterized by a dynamic increase in demand, especially for wood-fibre insulation materials. The German core market recorded continuous growth throughout the year. Most other markets, including the second-largest market France, recorded significant catch-up effects in the second half of the year and closed the year as a whole with higher revenues. In total, we recorded revenue growth of 9.9% to € 308.8 million. Earnings also increased slightly despite the demanding challenges posed by the pandemic. EBITDA totalled € 57.0 million, up 0.5% year on year. EBIT was up 3.4% year-on-year at € 33.6 million. At € 23.0 million, net income lifted by 0.8% compared to the previous year. Earnings per share amounted to 1.63 € (previous year: 1.62 €).
Sales soar in first quarter. EBIT more than doubles. Building and insulating with wood is more attractive than ever. As a result, the dynamic increase in demand continued in the first quarter of 2021. The STEICO Group recorded a 21.8% surge in sales to €90.6 million, with a simultaneous disproportionately high increase in earnings. EBIT rose by 128.9% to € 13.8 million, while net income for the period, at € 8.7 million, was 141.9% higher than in the same quarter of the previous year. STEICO thus recorded by far the most successful first quarter in the company's history. In order to continue to meet the increasing demand, STEICO is currently pursuing the largest investment program in the company's history. With a focus on wood fiber insulating materials, capacities are not only being expanded at the existing locations. In Gromadka, Poland, STEICO is also investing in the construction of a completely new insulation materials plant.
Dividend proposal Based on the positive business development the board of administration proposes to annual general meeting to appropriate the net retained profits in 2020 to pay a dividend of 0.30 € per share (dividend 2019: 0.25 € per share). The volume of the dividend distribution would amount to 4,225,039.50 € in total. Management remains very optimistic about the full year 2021 and believes the Group is excellently positioned to continue its growth. As a result of the excellent start to the year, expectations for the year as a whole are being adjusted upwards. Unless there are additional negative effects from developments in the pandemic, the Board of Directors believes that in 2021 revenues will lift by more than 15% with an EBIT ratio of between 13.0% and 15.0% (in terms of total operating revenue).
