Continued growth in business volumes, combined with better control of costs and sales prices, have led to a return to a more significant level of profitability. Pressures on costs remain high, however, particularly on the wage bill.
Gross operating surplus was up by 15.8% to €49.0m, and current operating income rose by 70.6% to €30.2m. With a financial income of -€2.5m and a tax expense representing €8.5m, the net income Group share stood at €19.2m for the half-year.
The investments stand at €22.9m and the change in WCR was €32.1m, to finance the increase in activity. The Group’s net cash position, including debts on lease obligations, at 30 June 2023 was €91.5m.
The performances recorded in the first half of the year and better control of costs and sales prices make it possible to forecast an increase in operating profitability over the entire year.
The Group announces the appointment of Benoit Coutier to the position of Chief Financial Officer on October 1, 2023. A plastics engineer in transformation process engineering with a Masters from ESSEC specialising in International Business Strategy and Engineering, Benoit Coutier has worked in the family company since 2003.
