Sébastien Baril, Chairman of the SergeFerrari Group’s Executive Board, stated: "Following on the upturn in business observed in Q2 2024, revenues in Q3 2024 confirmed the first signs of improvement in our core activities, particularly in Europe. The final quarter should enable us to confirm the continuation of this recovery, and also benefit from the first positive impacts of our Transform 2025 plan.”

Activity as of September 30, 2024: revenues of €233.8 million

In the first nine months of 2024, the Group recorded revenues of €233.8 million, a slight decline of -5.9% at current scope and exchange rates, and -5.6% at constant scope and exchange rates. However, this level of business confirms the positive trend already observed at the end of the first half, which was itself down 7.8% vs. 2023.

The trend observed over the first 9 months of the fiscal year at constant scope and exchange rates reflects contrasting situations by geographical area:

• The Europe region continues its recovery, with a moderate decline in revenues of -3.9% compared to the same period in 2023 at current scope, and -3.7% at constant scope and exchange rates. It returned to growth in Q3, indeed as a reminder in the first half year of 2024, the Europe region was down by -7.1% at constant scope and exchange rates vs. N-1.
• The Americas region continues to be penalized by a wait-and-see political and economic context and thus recorded a decrease in its revenues of -18.1% at constant scope and exchange rates, representing a slight improvement on the first half of the year, which was down of 20.5% at constant scope and exchange rates.
• The Asia-Pacific-Middle East-Africa region recorded a decline in its revenues of -6.1% at current scope and exchange rates, and -5.2% at constant scope and exchange rates, and continues to decrease due to the postponement of projects in Tensile Architecture.

Activity of the 3rd quarter 2024: revenues of €72.2 million

Revenues for the 3rd quarter of 2024 stood at €72.2 million, down -1.1% at current scope and currency, and -0.6% at constant scope and exchange rates, compared to the 3rd quarter of 2023, driven in particular by a return to growth in its core markets in Europe.

The global trend in this 3rd quarter is the result of:

• A price/volume-mix stood at -0.6%
• An exchange rate effect relatively stable at -0.7%
• A scope effect of +0.2%

Outlook

The final quarter 2024 should see a continuation of the upturn in businesses seen in the Q2 and Q3 of the year. At the same time, the Group will pursue its operational optimization efforts in the final quarter, linked in particular to the execution of its Transform 2025 plan, and will begin to benefit from its initial positive effects. The implementation of this plan, combined with an improvement in business activity which is now beginning, gives the Group confidence in its ability to return to profitability in the medium term.
