DELFINGEN INDUSTRY : Q1 2024 revenue

PRESS RELEASE

Anteuil, 13 May 2024

Q1 2024 revenue

Sales down after record sales on 1st quarter 2023

Growth momentum resumed in April

DELFINGEN INDUSTRY (DELFINGEN), a global automotive equipment manufacturer and world leader in wiring protection solutions for the mobility and industrial markets, is reporting its revenue for Q1 2024.

DELFINGEN posted revenue of €113.6m in Q1 2024, down 5.4%. The result excludes a scope effect of +3.8% related to the acquisitions made in early April 2023 of REIKU GmbH in Germany and AHN Chem Co. Ltd in South Korea and also excludes a negative exchange rate effect €/$ of -0.9% at end-March 2024.

The decline in revenue should assessed against an unfavourable basis of comparison, as the Group had record sales, up 14%, in Q1 2023.

Sales from the Mobility market amounted to €94.1m, down 5.5% (-5.8% at constant scope and exchange rates). After a slowdown in activity in November and December 2023 stemming from the UAW[2] strike, sales in January and February were strong. Revenue remained solid in March, at levels close to the previous two months, but was down relative to March 2023, when the Group recorded an exceptional level of sales in Marh. The Textile business posted revenue of €18.8m (-4%).

Sales from the Industry market totalled €19.5m, up 15.5%, fuelled by the acquisition of REIKU. At constant scope and exchange rates, revenue fell 3.2%.

Analysis of consolidated revenue by geographical area

Growth momentum resumed in April

The Group stresses that revenue in April once again showed substantial growth. Advances were made in all regions and across most of the Group's activities.

DELFINGEN intends to reinforce its commercial positions in mobility and at the same time continue to diversify in industrial applications.

After generating powerful growth having served to triple revenue over the past few years, DELFINGEN will continue to assert its leadership while aiming to boost operational performance and reduce debt through positive net cash flow and the strict management of investments.
