AD Plastik Grupa achieved revenues of 39.5 million euros in the first quarter, which is 12.3 percent higher than in the same period last year, while profit increased by 7.3 percent to 4.25 million euros.

Expenses grew by 8.5 percent to 36.5 million euros, while EBITDA surged by as much as 40.2 percent to 6.16 million euros. The company attributes this to the effects of cost optimization and increased operational discipline.

In addition to the previously mentioned growth in EBITDA margin, the strong growth in the Group’s net profit was significantly contributed by a substantial increase in the share of profit from the associated company. The net profit of the parent company during the observed period amounts to 3.66 million euros and is the result of increased revenues from serial production along with increased utilization of production capacities and simultaneous cost optimization.

Entering new niches

In the upcoming period, further expansion of the customer base and entry into new market niches within the automotive industry is planned, which should positively impact revenues from own production, capacity utilization, efficiency, and overall profitability.

To further reduce the cyclicality of the automotive market, part of the portfolio is gradually being directed outside the automotive industry, to selected segments that require similar competencies in the development and serial production of plastic components.

In this way, it is planned to expand the revenue base, increase the utilization of production infrastructure, and create space for more stable orders with a different demand dynamic.

Deleveraging

During the reporting period, the Group successfully continued its deleveraging, as evidenced by the net financial debt indicator, which was reduced by 2.12 million euros. The majority of this debt reduction comes from the parent company, whose net financial debt is lower by 2.11 million euros along with an increase in cash position.

With the planned continuation of deleveraging and assuming projected interest rate levels, the company expects a positive impact on financing costs in the upcoming period.

The Group’s plans for the next three years foresee moderate annual revenue growth of around five percent. The targeted EBITDA margin for this period is set at 13 percent, with planned annual investments of eight million euros. Further development will depend on the stability of demand in the European automotive market and the success of implementing new contracted projects.
