2024 First-Quarter Revenues

The Group reported revenues of €73.5 million for the first quarter of 2024, down -13.4% at current scope and exchange rates and -14.1% at constant scope and exchange rates, compared with the first three months of 2023, when growth was +7.3%, driven by the final effects of price increases and the acquisition of MSE, DCS and Baltijos Tentas.

The level of activity is thus explained by the combined effects of a -11.8% fall in volumes sold and a -1.8% price effect over the period. Changes in the scope of consolidation contributed +1.3% to revenues for the first three months of 2024 (Markleen acquired on April 1^st, 2023), while the exchange rate effect was -0.5%.

Over the quarter, the environment observed in 2023 continued to weigh on the core activities.

Transform 2025 plan

In the first three months of 2024, the Group strengthened the various levers of the Transform plan to enable it to increase its profitability in the short and medium term and optimize the allocation of its resources. SergeFerrari Group is continuing to adapt its cost structure to ever shorter economic cycles, in particular by intensifying its industrial and logistics reorganization in Europe.
