Sébastien Ferrari, SergeFerrari Group Chairman and CEO, made the following comments: “This quarter confirms the positive momentum of our business. Within an environment in which demand is strong but supply is limited by pressures on the supply chain and the strain on our production capacity, our teams have had to demonstrate the agility required to find the best solutions for our customers and enable us to meet the high market demand. On the strength of this performance, we are revising our revenue forecast for the current financial year upwards to €280 million. The members of the Executive Committee, in association with Ferrari Participations within One Team Investments, will purchase SergeFerrari Group shares, thereby demonstrating their commitment to the family shareholders in driving the Group’s strategic plan.”

Q3 2021 revenues of €70.2 million

SergeFerrari Group’s Q3 2021 revenues amounted to €70.2 million, up 30.1% at current consolidation scope and exchange rates and up 20.1% at constant consolidation scope and exchange rates. This excellent performance results from sustained demand across all Group business lines and regions, amplified by the market share gains brought about by the sales force’s new organizational structure. The Group had to show flexibility to satisfy customers and meet delivery deadlines in the face of supply difficulties for certain components. Meanwhile, the contribution made by recent acquisitions increased, with F.I.T continuing to enjoy strong momentum and Verseidag seeing the first effects of the recovery in two of its key markets, modular structures and tensile architecture.

During the period, as announced, the Group initiated the transfer of operations from the Eglisau site in Switzerland to the Krefeld plant in Germany, which is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2021.

In Northern Europe, revenues rose 29.2% at current consolidation scope and exchange rates to €27.1 million. At constant consolidation scope and exchange rates, revenue growth was 13.9%.

The Southern Europe – Americas region posted third quarter revenues of €29.9 million, up 33.6% at current consolidation scope and exchange rates and 28.0% at constant consolidation scope and exchange rates.

Sales in the Asia-Pacific – Middle East – Africa region increased by 24.5% at current consolidation scope and exchange rates and 15.7% at constant consolidation scope and exchange rates.

Activity as of September 30, 2021: revenues of €214.9 million

Over the first nine months of 2021, the Group recorded revenues of €214.9 million, up 60.8% at current consolidation scope and exchange rates and 33.5% at constant consolidation scope and exchange rates.

The Group achieved substantial sales growth in each of its three regions:

- Northern Europe reported year-on-year revenue growth of 61.8% at current consolidation scope and exchange rates and 25.5% at constant consolidation scope and exchange rates; - Southern Europe – Americas recorded revenues up 56.4% at current consolidation scope and exchange rates and 40.8% at constant consolidation scope and exchange rates; - Asia-Pacific – Middle East – Africa delivered revenue growth of 72.6% at current consolidation scope and exchange rates and 31.0% at constant consolidation scope and exchange rates.

Currency fluctuations curbed revenue growth by 1.5% during the first nine months of the year. Meanwhile, the volume effect generated growth of 23.1% and the price mix effect 10.4%.

Creation of investment company One Team Investments by family shareholders and members of the SergeFerrari Group Executive Committee

In order to strengthen the governance of SergeFerrari Group and as part of the preparation of its SF 2025 strategic plan, the family shareholders, together with the members of the Group’s Executive Committee, created a new investment vehicle named One Team Investments.

The new company, which will hold 620,000 SergeFerrari Group shares representing approximately 5% of the company’s capital and 3.4% of the voting rights, will be 83% owned by Ferrari Participations, the Ferrari family holding company. The remaining shares in One Team Investments will be held by ten senior Group executives. This investment by management, for an initial term of five years, will be made through a combination of contributions in cash and already owned SergeFerrari Group shares. These transactions are scheduled to be completed by November 5, 2021.

The operation reflects the strong long-term commitment of the SergeFerrari Group’s family and management team. The Group will benefit from the financial involvement of its key managers, who are fully committed to implementing its strategy and achieving its objectives.

Outlook

In view of the continuing positive economic climate, SergeFerrari Group is now targeting revenues of €280 million for 2021. The Group will nonetheless remain vigilant with regard to market volatility, commodity inflation and sudden energy price hikes. Consequently, it will maintain rigorous cost control while continuing to optimize industrial facilities.
