SOMFY reports sales growth over the 2022 financial year, despite a fourth quarter marked by the continued slowdown in business that began in the second quarter.

SALES

Group sales were €1,532 million for the year, an increase of 3.7% compared with the previous financial year (up 1.6% on a like‐for‐like basis). Business activity over the second half‐year confirmed the slowdown recorded since the second quarter of 2022, with sales of €686 million, up 1.9% compared with the previous financial year (down 1.6% on a like‐for‐like basis), despite the delivery backlog having been cleared. It should be noted that Teleco Automation sales have been consolidated into the Group's financial statements since 1 July 2022, with the consolidated portion standing at €18 million.

During the 2022 financial year, the Latin America, Africa & the Middle East and Asia‐Pacific regions posted significant growth (up 22.0%, 21.1% and 8.5% respectively on a like‐for‐like basis), demonstrating the benefits of the Group's international footprint. Eastern Europe, Northern Europe and Central Europe were more severely affected by economic and geopolitical tensions, and thus reported declines (down 2.6%, 1.8% and 1.3% respectively on a like‐for‐like basis, including Germany which was down 3.0%). France and North America remained stable (up 0.0% and 1.4% respectively on a like‐for‐like basis), reflecting the strength of the Group's fundamentals and positive structural trends in the residential market.

PRESS RELEASE

24 JANUARY 2023

Sales of the equity‐accounted Chinese subsidiary Dooya totalled €297 million over the financial year, an increase of 7.6% in real terms (down 0.2% on a like‐for‐like basis, including an increase of 22.4% over the first half‐year and a decline of 17.1% over the second). Sales declined in China (down 2.3% on a like‐for‐like basis), due to current market conditions in the country, notably concerning the management of the pandemic which continued throughout the year and impacted business, and were stable in the Rest of the World (up 1.3% on a like‐for‐like basis).

The Group continued to roll out its roadmap whilst simultaneously monitoring the economic environment, which remained very uncertain given macro‐economic and geopolitical tensions and the slowdown in the global economy.

GLOSSARY

Sales

The sales figures provided refer to the sales amounts generated with customers outside the Group. They are calculated based on customer location and therefore the destination of the sales.

Change in real terms

The change in real terms corresponds to the change on an actual consolidation scope and exchange rate basis.

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.

Geographic regions

The Group is organised into two geographic divisions, the first made up of Central Europe, Northern Europe, North America and Latin America (North & West), and the second made up of France, Southern Europe, Africa & the Middle East, Eastern Europe and Asia‐Pacific (South & East).

1 Sales for Argentina and Turkey have been restated for the effects of hyperinflation pursuant to IAS 29. Without such restatement, growth for Latin America and Africa & the Middle East would have been 24.4% and 7.8%, respectively, in real terms.
