The downward trend observed was confirmed and reinforced in the third quarter for AKWEL, with consolidated revenue of €228.9M, down by -9.6% as reported and -9.2% at constant scope and exchange rates.
The geographical distribution of revenue at September 30, 2024 points to a sharper decline in France.
By product line, the most significant changes were the 4.6% growth in the Air line, the decline in Mechanisms (-6.8%), Fuel (-4.3%) and Cooling (-1.0%) activities, and the more significant decline in Decontamination (-21.3%), with the gradual end of production of SCR tanks scheduled for 2025. Tools revenue represents €25.0M over 9 months (+22.9%).
Consolidated net cash excluding the impact of lease liabilities amounted to €140.5M on October 31, 2024, an increase of €25.4M compared to June 30, taking into account an investment envelope of €8.8M this quarter.
Performance in the third quarter and current developments in the global automotive market are consistent with an expected decline in revenue for 2024, with the decline in SCR series activity before the planned production shutdown in 2025 (excluding SCR spare parts activity) adding to a difficult market situation.
