Sales for the third quarter of 2022

SOMFY reports sales growth over the first nine months of the financial year, reflecting sales over the third quarter that were virtually stable on a like-for-like basis, in line with second quarter figures.

Group sales totalled €1,207 million for the first nine months of the financial year, an increase of 4.7% in real terms and 2.8% on a like-for-like basis compared with the same period last year. Sales totalled €361 million over the third quarter, an increase of 3.6% in real terms and were virtually stable on a like-for-like basis (down 0.7%) compared with the same period last year. It should be noted that Teleco Automation sales have been consolidated into the Group’s financial statements since 1 July 2022, and the consolidated portion stood at €9 million for the quarter.

Sales over the period remained stable despite the weaker macro-economic environment, reflecting positive structural trends in the residential market. Northern Europe and Central Europe, two regions that had been marked from the second quarter by a slowdown in sales, posted respective growth of 3.9% and 5.8% on a like-for-like basis in relation to the previous third quarter.

Over the first nine months, the most significant performances were recorded in Latin America, Africa & the Middle East and Asia-Pacific, which all posted significant growth over the period (25.5%, 19.3% and 10.7% respectively on a like-for-like basis), demonstrating the strength of the Group’s international footprint.

Sales of the equity-accounted Chinese subsidiary Dooya totalled €236 million over the first nine months of the financial year, an increase of 23.8% in real terms (up 12.2% on a like-for-like basis, comprising growth of 22.4% over the first half-year and a decline of 4.2% over the third quarter). Sales rose in China (up 9.1% on a like-for-like basis) and in the rest of the world (up 14.5% on a like-for-like basis).

Within a still uncertain macro-economic and geopolitical climate, changes in consumer spending priorities could continue to generate a short-term contraction in demand. The Group continues to monitor this changing situation and over the coming weeks anticipates business activity to remain in line with that seen in recent months.
