(*) 2024 financial data shown refers to Continuing Operations only, unless otherwise stated. Continuing Operations exclude the Fire Fighting business which, following the already announced signing of a definitive agreement for the transfer of its ownership, has been classified as Discontinued Operations. 2023 comparative figures have been recast consistently.
Consolidated revenues of โฌ3,367 million, in line with Q1 2023. Net revenues of Industrial Activities of โฌ3,283 million, flat vs Q1 2023, with positive price realisation offsetting lower volumes mainly in South America, a negative mix, and an adverse foreign exchange impact.
Adjusted EBIT of โฌ233 million (โฌ59ย million increase compared to Q1 2023) with a 6.9% margin (up 170 bps compared to Q1 2023). Adjusted EBIT of Industrial Activities of โฌ201ย million (โฌ55ย million increase vs Q1 2023) and margin at 6.1% (up 170 bps compared to Q1 2023), mainly thanks to lower product costs and a continuously positive price realisation in the quarter.
Adjusted net income of โฌ153 million (โฌ77ย million increase compared to Q1 2023), after deducting the pre- and after-tax loss of โฌ115ย million from signing the definitive agreement to transfer the Fire Fighting business. Adjusted diluted earnings per share of โฌ0.57 (up โฌ0.32 compared to Q1 2023).
Financial expenses of โฌ21 million (vs โฌ72 million in Q1 2023), decreasing year over year mainly thanks to a more contained foreign exchange rate and cost of hedge impact in Argentina, as a result of the implemented hedging strategy, as well as to an improvement in the Argentinian hyperinflation accounting impact.
Reported income tax expense of โฌ53 million, with adjusted effective tax rate (adjusted ETR) of 28% reflecting different tax rates applied in the jurisdictions where the Group operates and some other discrete items.
Free cash flow of Industrial Activities negative at โฌ436ย million (vs negative โฌ546ย million in Q1 2023) in line with our seasonal working capital absorption.
Available liquidity at โฌ4,685 million as of 31st March 2024, down โฌ63ย million from 31st December 2023, including โฌ2,000 million of undrawn committed facilities.
