STEICO SE: H1 2022: Strong first half despite economic uncertainties.

Feldkirchen near Munich, 19 July 2022 Today the STEICO Group (ISIN DE000A0LR936) released its half-year report 2022.

Business Development H1 2022

Revenues improved by 27.1% to 237.5 million in the first six months of 2022, allowing STEICO to continue its growth. Despite the more demanding environment, earnings and margins were at a pleasing level. EBITDA improved by 21.8% to 50.4 million and EBIT lifted by 23.5% to 38.5 million. The EBITDA margin in the first six months is 23.0%, the EBIT margin is 15.9%.

Inflation, supply chain difficulties and increasing interest rates are currently slowing economic expectations in the construction sector. In spite of this, however, STEICOs management is continuing to take a positive view of the year as a whole. As a result of the strong trend to natural construction materials, the company expects that timber construction will remain strong in a more difficult market environment. In addition, as a result of the increasing costs of energy and increasing state subsidies, a substantial increase in renovation activities is also expected. Finally, the existing order backlog should have a stabilising impact on the construction industry - and in particular on timber construction.

The Management therefore confirms the outlook 2022, believing that revenues will lift by more than 20% with an EBIT ratio of between 13% and 15% (in terms of total operating revenue).
