Brembo still growing in the first half: consolidated revenues up 6%, export at 72%, market share increasing in all activity sectors with new products
The Board of Directors of Brembo met today at Curno plant (Bergamo, Italy) to
examine and approve the financial results for the first half of 2002.
In a macroeconomic environment characterised by a strong slump in the demand,
both at worldwide,
European and Italian level, Brembo was able to keep high revenues and
profitability levels, if compared with those of other European companies and
more generally, of the whole Italian industrial sector in the same time frame.
Products and markets
During the first half of 2002 the company has been engaged in the development
of several applications recently introduced on new vehicles or that will be
soon presented. For instance the new top performing ceramic carbon braking
system, recently presented by a prestigious Italian customer, as well as the
brake calipers for the most powerful SUV soon being introduced by a German
customer. During the past months, moreover, the braking systems for light
commercial vehicle came into full production, while the delivery programs for
top-of-the-range-cars continued at high levels. Positive trend also for After
Market discs, while the motorcycle segments showed a rest.
Financial and economic results
Brembo consolidated net revenues during the first six months amount at E 297.2
million, up 6% over the same period of the previous year, 9% on a like-for-like
basis; these numbers compare to the data recently released by ISTAT (the
Italian Institute of Statistics) for the period January-June 2002: Italian
industry turnover down by 7.7% orders down by 4.8%. The portion of the turnover
produced abroad or destined to the export is steady over 70% (72% in the first
six months) up 2 points over last year, going remarkably against the current
compared to the national export level (-5.2%) and to the regional export
(-7.3%) during the first half of 2002. Personnel expenses increased by 9.2%
during the period under examination; the headcount grew by 6.7% over the same
period of last year, thus bringing the total number of employees to 3,452; this
is once more going against the current if compared to the macroeconomic data
about unemployment of the Italian industrial sector (-4% at June 2002).
The net consolidated profit for the period is E 11.2 million, 3.8% of sales.
For further details on the first semester at 30th June 2002, please see the
attached schedules.
Expected trend of activity
The months up to now showed a difficult and complex macroeconomic scenario. In
such an environment the company is keeping a fairly good visibility on the
orders until the end of the year; this consents to foresee the prosecution of
the growth of sales trend occurred since now, even if with diverse trends in
the different segments of activities.
The company also informs that the date for the next Board Meeting has changed
and it will be held on November 11th at 16.00 at the Company's headquarters.
