Deceuninck Half-Year Report 2023
Consolidated sales in H1 2023 decreased to € 427.2m, down 15.7% from € 506.8m in H1 2022, driven by significant devaluation of the Turkish Lire in June and lower volumes in Europe and North America, partially compensated by strong volumes & favorable product mix in Turkey & EM.
The Adj. EBITDA increased to € 59.6m (+3.1% vs H1 2022). The Adj. EBITDA-margin in H1 2023 was 13.9%, which is 2.5 percentage point higher than in H1 2022 (11.4%). Improvement in Adj. EBITDA is driven by higher volumes combined with margin improvement in Turkey and higher operational efficiency in the North America. In Europe, decreased volumes led to lower efficiency levels while indexation of salaries resulted into higher personnel costs.
