(1) Comparing like-for-like figures.
In the last quarter, AKWEL posted a consolidated turnover of €249.4 million, up by 11.5% when comparing published figures and by 14.6% when taking exchange rates and scope as constants.
With this third consecutive quarter of increased activity, in an environment that continues to be disrupted by component shortages and inflation, the Group ends 2022 with a 7.1% annual increase in turnover compared with 2021.
On a like-for-like basis, the increase in annual turnover was +11.3%.
The Products and Functions turnover stood at €951.4m, up by 7.8%, with an increase across almost all of the Group's product lines
Net cash excluding lease obligations fell by €7.6m in Q4 to reach €115.1m at closing, an increase of €6.7m over the year.
As expected, the Group’s profitability was impacted by supply constraints and the difficulties in passing on the inflationary impacts recorded across all operating costs, with current operating income expected to fall by around 40% for 2022.
For the 2023 financial year, in an environment in which visibility over the global automotive market remains very limited, AKWEL anticipates a slight increase in turnover.
