Thursday, October 19, 2023

Total sales over the first three quarters of 2023 came at € 144 million, 6% behind last year (22Q3: € 152 million), driven by a € 8 million decline in non-strategic segments sales.

Key Points: 
  • Total sales over the first three quarters of 2023 came at € 144 million, 6% behind last year (22Q3: € 152 million), driven by a € 8 million decline in non-strategic segments sales.
  • Sales figures reflect challenging economic circumstances with clients continue to destock, driven by increased interest rates and inflation, and postpone larger orders over the quarter, resulting in quarterly sales of € 40 million.
  • These positive developments were offset by soft sales in Contract Manufacturing (-15%) and a 24% decline in RTP US reflecting a very slow sales pickup post-flooding.
  • For the fourth quarter Cabka expects a strong recovery of sales based on the announced major co-development launches, such as CHEP, Continental and BMW, coming up to speed.
