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.
