Somfy reports sales growth for the first nine months of the year, driven by buoyant activity  over the first six months, and despite a slight fall in the third quarter.

Sales

Group sales totalled €1,153.4 million for the first nine months of the financial year, an increase  of 23.1%  (up 21.8% on a like‐for‐like basis) compared with  the same period last year and of  25.8% compared with 2019. Third quarter sales declined as anticipated and stood at €348.4  million, falling 5.4% (down 7.5% on a like‐for‐like basis) in relation to the same period of the  previous  year  (€368.3 million)  but  up  in  comparison with  the  third  quarter  of  2019  (€301.4  million).

Over the quarter, the hardest hit regions were Northern Europe, Central Europe and France  with sales falling 27.9%, 13.8% and 12.3% respectively on a like‐for‐like basis in relation to the  previous third quarter, which was marked by a significant recovery as a result of the improved  public  health  situation  and  a  catch‐up  effect  following  lockdown  measures.  Despite  this  unfavourable base effect and supply chain and logistics pressures during  the quarter, sales  remained steady over the period.
 
Over the first nine months, all regions recorded growth compared with the previous financial  year, driven by the first half‐year momentum. The most significant performances came from  North America, Latin America and Africa & the Middle East which all achieved growth of more  than 30% over the period (up 38.0%, 44.7% and 50.9% respectively on a like‐for‐like basis).

Sales for the equity‐accounted Chinese subsidiary Dooya totalled €190.5 million over the first  nine months of the financial year, a strong increase of 35.2% (up 33.1% on a like‐for‐like basis,  including growth of 43.9% over the first half and 17.9% over the third quarter). Sales rose in  China (up 36.3% on a like‐for‐like basis) and in the rest of the world (up 30.9% on a like‐for‐ like basis).

Outlook

As  forecast,  the  momentum  seen  over  the  first  half‐year  subsided  in  the  third  quarter.  Pressures on the electronic component and raw material markets which led to delivery delays  against a backdrop of high demand, will continue to have an impact over the coming months.  The Group nevertheless confirms that it expects sustained growth in sales over the financial  year as a whole.

Change  on  a  like‐for‐like  basis: the  change  on  a  like‐for‐like  basis  corresponds  to  the  change  at  constant  consolidation method, consolidation scope and exchange rates.
