Financial performance
Recurring EBITDA was down slightly to €87.4 million, or 7.9% of Group revenue , compared to €93.8 million or 8.6% of sales in FY 2022–2023.
The beet harvesting and industry activities have progressed and compensated for the volume declines in agricultural spraying and leisure.
The cost structure was affected by wage inflation, the integration of Devaux, and the continuation of the ERP project in the industry.
Net income fell to €31.2 million , compared with €42.5 million for the 2022–2023 fiscal year, affected by the decline in EBITDA as well as by the following items:
Balance sheet
Net financial debt (NFD) excluding IFRS 16 amounted to €99.1 million at September 30, 2024 , stable compared to €98.5 million in 2023. IFRS16 debt is up by €10 million, with no short-term impact, following the mandatory inclusion of lease liabilities.
The Group continued to invest in the renewal and modernization of its plants. A major modernization project was launched during the year at its Stains plant in France (Industry) and will continue in 2024–2025 at a total cost of €20 million.
Lastly, EXEL Industries has renewed several lines of credit to cover its current needs and possible acquisitions. These new lines are systematically indexed to CSR criteria.
Dividend
A dividend of €1.15 per share, corresponding to 25% of consolidated net income, will be proposed to the Annual General Meeting on February 4, 2025.
Audit process
The Group Audit Committee met on December 17, 2024.
The Board of Directors met on December 18, 2024, and approved EXEL Industries' annual and consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2024.
The Group's Statutory Auditors have finished certifying the annual and consolidated financial statements and will shortly issue a report without reservations.
2025 outlook
After two exceptional years, business has returned to a normal seasonal pattern. The level of new orders fell significantly over the last 12 months, prompting a degree of caution for the rest of the year. The markets, currently in decline, are showing some signs of recovery in Northern and Eastern Europe. Production capacity will be adjusted to match the current level of activity, and vigilance will be maintained on cost trends.
Sugar prices remained at high levels, bolstering machine sales. In 2025, priority will be given to developing the after-sales service, with an enhanced service offering and increased sales of spare parts. Furthermore, the Group is continuing to strengthen its foothold in North America.
