Acceleration of revenue growth in Q3 2022
Loudéac, 10 November 2022
today reported its revenue for Q3 2022 and for the first nine months of 2022.
At 30 September 2022, consolidated revenue rose by 19% to €95.4m, representing organic growth of 9% excluding the integration of the Kabelis companies acquired in July 2022.
Consolidated Q3 2022 revenue came to €33.9m, up 20% versus Q3 2021. In organic terms, revenue grew by a strong 13%. WINFARM benefited over the quarter from strong momentum across the board, with all of its businesses recording double-digit growth over the period.
The business (88% of revenue for the quarter), whose products are marketed under the Vital Concept brand, made revenue of €29.8m, up 19% compared with Q3 2021 (+11% organic). This performance is all the more remarkable given the demanding environment caused by persistent inflation in raw material prices, even if it has eased in recent months. In order to minimise the impact on its business, WINFARM anticipated this price pressure at an early stage by building stocks in certain items and successfully passing on purchase price increases over the months without losing customers.
The business (10% of revenue for the quarter), whose products are marketed under the Alphatech brand, made revenue of €3.5m, representing sharp organic growth of 29%. The performance of export solutions continued to drive the Group's results.
During Q3, WINFARM announced the acquisition of the KABELIS companies specialised in landscaping and green space development, creating a French champion on this market and the largest player in the Grand Ouest region.
Founded in 2007, KABELIS specialised in fertilisers, seeds, services for local authorities, horticulture, golf courses, sports grounds, etc. and became the leading French player in landscaping and green space development.
This second acquisition since the IPO, after that of BTN de Haas in the Netherlands in 2021, sees WINFARM forge ahead with the implementation of the roadmap it announced during its IPO at the end of 2020, combining organic growth and acquisitions to become a key player in the upstream agriculture sector in Europe.
Having demonstrated its ability to continue generating strong business growth during the first nine months of the year, despite a demanding environment, by offering customers solutions that contribute to operational performance and competitiveness, WINFARM is confident that it will continue to grow in Q4 2022.
In the longer term, the Group reiterates its revenue target for 2025 of around €200m and an EBITDA margin of around 6.5%. It expects to achieve half of this acceleration in growth through organic growth and half through external growth.
