Componenta Oyj released a business review for January to September 2024, highlighting a decrease in net sales by 12% to EUR 70.3 million, attributed to lower delivery volumes and reduced raw material and energy index levels. The EBITDA dropped to EUR 3.1 million, with an operating result of EUR -0.9 million, impacted by lower sales volumes, production inefficiencies, and strikes. Despite challenges, the order book grew slightly, and profitability improved in the second and third quarters.

The company expects net sales and EBITDA to improve in 2024 but acknowledges uncertainties due to geopolitical tensions and economic conditions. Componenta's equity ratio decreased to 40.1%, with interest-bearing net debt rising to EUR 10.3 million. The company continues to manage risks related to raw material availability and price fluctuations, and it remains focused on meeting customer demands and strengthening its market position.

Componenta Corporation released its half-year financial report for January–June 2024 on 23 July 2024. The report highlights that the company's net sales and EBITDA are expected to improve year-on-year, with the improvement focused on the second half of the year. The first half of 2024 saw mixed performance, with a weaker-than-expected first quarter due to low demand in the agricultural machinery industry in Europe and lower delivery volumes. However, the order book began to grow in the second quarter, and profitability improved due to operational adjustments and quality improvements. Key financial figures for the first half of 2024 showed a decrease in net sales by 17% and EBITDA by 64.6% compared to the same period in 2023. The company also announced the acquisition of operations from Fortaco Group, which will strengthen its service offering. The transaction is set to be completed in two stages, starting on 1 October 2024.

The company continues to prioritize sustainability and aims to strengthen its market position as a contract manufacturer. A webcast to discuss the results was scheduled for 23 July 2024.

The acquisition includes inventories and fixed assets but excludes real estate. The transaction will occur in two stages, starting on October 1, 2024, with the second phase involving the purchase of properties used by these businesses within a year. The acquired operations, which had net sales of approximately EUR 9.6 million in 2023, specialize in welding, machining, surface treatment, and installation of steel parts and components. The acquisition will enhance Componenta's service offerings and production capabilities, particularly for large, technically demanding products. About 60 employees will transfer to Componenta as part of the deal. The transaction is financed through Componenta's internal resources and financing limits. The company expects the acquisition to bolster its position with strategic customers and increase cross-selling opportunities. The final closing of the transaction is subject to customary conditions, and Componenta will provide further updates upon completion.
