In the first half of 2024, AKWEL sales totaled €528.8 million, down -3.1% and -2.8% on a like-for-like basis.
The ability to pass on increases to customers proved more complex in the first half. Pressure on labor costs remains very high and is weighing on the Group's operating profitability.
The EBITDA fell by -1.3% to €49.2 million, while operating income recurring by -21.6% to €24.4 million. The net income of the Group came to €20.2 million, giving a net margin of 3.8%.
The Group's net cash position, including liabilities on rental bonds, stood at €106.0 million at June 30, compared with €105.0 million at December 31.
In view of the first-half performance, the declining outlook for the global market and over-stocking by certain automakers, AKWEL anticipates a slight decline in sales for the current financial year.
In a changing automotive market, the major investments made by the Group in recent years have given AKWEL an agile industrial base with enhanced technical capabilities, able to adapt effectively to the uncertain evolution between electric and hybrid powertrains, and internal combustion engines.
