2023 was a challenging year for the STEICO Group in many ways. The construction industry suffered throughout Europe due to high inflation and higher interest rates. At the start of the year, disproportionately high levels of inventories at traders and processing companies also dampened demand. What is more, heightened competition on the market for wood fibre insulation materials also depressed sales prices. Growth stabilised again at the end of the year, however the STEICO Group recorded lower sales figures for the first time since going public.

Total revenues fell by 17.9% to EUR 365.3 million. EBITDA was down by 34.9% year-on-year to EUR 57.7 million and EBIT fell by 53.4% to EUR 30.4 million. The profit for the period was down by 64.7% to EUR 16.9 million year-on-year.

Earnings per share amounted to 1.20 EUR (previous year: 3.40 EUR).

Appropriation of retained earnings

In the opinion of the Administrative Board, the persistently difficult economic situation in the construction sector continues to necessitate measures, in particular to secure liquidity, in order to adequately counter the ongoing challenging environment in the construction industry. The Administrative Board therefore proposes to suspend the dividend payment for the 2023 financial year and to use the liquidity remaining in the company to further strengthen the capital base and to finance past and future investments.

Forecast

The company's management is taking a cautious view of the further course of the year, however it believes that the market will continue to stabilise.

If the continued economic and competitive developments do not result in any negative effects, the management is forecasting revenue at the previous year's level of around EUR 365 million and an EBIT ratio of between 9% and 11% (to total operating revenue).
