Elma - Good results in the first half 2021
Implementation of the US production strategy and increased market activities show first success
In the first half of 2021, the Elma Group significantly increased order income, net sales and net profit compared with the previous year. In addition to a pandemic-related pent-up demand from customers, the optimization of production processes in the USA and focused market activities were equally successful. Besides higher net sales, the Americas region made significant progress in the operational activities which had a positive impact on the regional results compared with the previous year. In the Europe region, net sales remained behind the previous year despite the high order income, yet the companies in Switzerland, Germany and the UK increased their operational performance compared with the previous year and thus improved the regional results substantially. The Asia region progressed both in terms of sales and operations and closed the half-year 2021 with a very good performance.
- Order income increased by 5.3% to CHF 83.5 million (previous year: CHF 79.2 million)
- Net sales of CHF 74.8 million 9.5% higher (previous year: CHF 68.3 million)
- EBIT improved to CHF 3.0 million (previous year: 0.7 million) and net profit to CHF 2.3 million (previous year: CHF 0.8 million)
- All three regions with a positive profit contribution
- Operating cash flow increased to CHF 5.5 million (previous year: CHF 2.7 million)
- Net debts reduced by CHF 3.7 million to CHF 13.2 million (31.12.2020: CHF 16.9 million)
- Equity ratio improved to 47.6% (31.12.2020: 46.4%)
