STEICO SE: Q1 2024 – Stable business situation with positive earnings performance

Feldkirchen near Munich, 19 April 2024. Today the STEICO group (ISIN DE000A0LR936) released its interim report for the first quarter 2024. 

Business Development Q1 2024

The stabilisation trend continued in the first quarter of 2024. Falling inflation, stable interest rates and a constant competitive situation are also stabilising demand for STEICO products. With revenue of € 95.9 million, revenue in the first quarter was only 0.7% down on the previous year.

At the same time, earnings benefited from falling procurement prices and the effects of the cost-cutting programme launched in 2023. At € 17.8 million, EBITDA for the first quarter was 38.5% higher than in the previous year while EBIT grew by 85.1% to € 10.8 million. The EBITDA margin is 19.1% and the EBIT margin is 11.6% (both in relation to total operating revenues, accounting in accordance with German GAAP).

The company management is cautious about the rest of the year, but expects the market situation to stabilise further.

Provided there are no negative effects from further economic and competitive developments, the company management expects sales in 2024 to remain at the previous year's level of around € 365 million and an EBIT ratio of between 9% and 11% (in relation to total operating revenues).
