Plastivaloire Group reports Q4 sales of 191.5 ME, up 3.3% on the same period a year earlier (+4.8% at constant exchange rates).
Sales in the Automotive sector (parts and tooling) rose by +3.1% to 151.7 ME for the quarter. Sales in the Industries sector (parts and tooling) rose by +4.3% to 39.8 ME.
For the full year, sales came to 834.2 ME, up 18.5% on the previous year (+18.2% at constant exchange rates), exceeding the target set last August (between 810 and 830 ME).
The good level of activity, the actions taken to limit the impact of inflation on its costs, and the adjustment of its pricing policy all support the objective of a 2022-2023 EBITDA margin slightly higher in the second half of the year than in the first (7.9% as a reminder)", says Plastivaloire.
The group notes that its annual targets for the next financial year will be specified, as they are each year, when it publishes its 2022-2023 results on December 18, 2023.
