Sales of Corticeira Amorim exceed 156 million euros in the first quarter Highlights:
Best quarter in sales drives a 16% increase in EBITDA, to 27.6 M€
Profits in the quarter rise to 13.9 M€
Sales growth in all Business Units
Corticeira Amorim closed the first quarter with a net profit of 13.9 million euros, up 64.7% on the same quarter last year (8.4 M€).
Business activity was buoyed by remarkable growth in sales, which rose to
M€, 6.3% higher than the first quarter of 2015 (147.4 M€). It should be noted that all Business Units (BU) of Corticeira Amorim contributed to this evolution, mainly due to a volume effect.
Key elements of this positive performance included the role of the Cork Stoppers BU, which continues to record excellent sales growth (+ 7.8%), and the resumption of sales growth in the Floor and Wall Coverings BU, in clear contrast with the trend recorded in recent quarters.
In the period under review, and in contrast with recent financial years, this positive earnings evolution benefited from the fact that the foreign exchange impact was less than 1 M€.
EBITDA of 27.6 M€ was approximately 16% higher than in the first quarter of 2015. This performance was also due to the favourable evolution of operating costs, which generated an EBITDA/sales ratio of 17.6% - higher than the ratio recorded in the first quarter of 2015 (16.2%).
In line with the trend recorded in recent quarters, the first quarter of 2016 was also marked by further improvements in financial performance, resulting from lower interest rates and less net bank debt compared to the first quarter of 2015
All Business Unit record sales growth
The Raw Materials Business Unit recorded positive sales growth - +7.6% - in line with the positive growth of its main client - the Cork Stoppers BU.
EBITDA was 3.8 M€ - lower than the first quarter of 2015 (6.5 M€) - due to the higher price of cork in the 2014 campaign. This effect was partially offset by greater control of operating costs and increased activity.
Sales of the Cork Stoppers Business Unit rose to 102.4 M€, an increase of 7.8%, driven by volume and essentially by the mix effect impacted by the positive sales growth of natural cork stoppers, which are the highest value added product of this BU. The result also reflects the impact of the incorporation of two new distribution companies (in the USA and Portugal) into this business unit in the second half of 2015
The increased activity, better mix of sales and stable operating costs generated EBITDA of 17.8 M€ - 36% higher than the first quarter of 2015.
The Floor and Wall Coverings Business Unit recorded 4.1% growth in sales, which rose to 29.7 M€.
This performance was mainly attributable to the growth of sales of manufactured products, in particular the innovative Hydrocork flooring collection, which was launched in early 2015 and now represents over 10% of this BU's sales.
EBITDA was 2.8 M€, significantly higher than the level of 1.8 M€ recorded in the first quarter of 2015.
The Composite Cork Business Unit recorded sales of 24.4 M€, 5% higher than the first quarter of 2015, even without benefiting from the exchange rate effect.
Key drivers of this growth were the Furnishings segment, of the Retail cluster, and the supply of inlays for the Hydrocork range of flooring, of the Floor and Wall Coverings BU.
EBITDA was 4.4 M€, more than double the level of 2.1 M€ recorded in the first quarter of 2015.
With sales of 2,9 M€ - 25% higher than the level in the first quarter of 2015
- the Insulation Cork Business Unit recorded the highest growth of all business units, primarily driven by sales growth of expanded cork agglomerate and the MDFachada solution.
EBITDA increased 29%, to 0.7 M €.
