ENOGIA (ISIN code: FR0014004974 – ticker: ALENO, an expert in micro-turbomachinery for the energy transition, is reporting its interim 2024 results, approved by the Board of Directors on 6 September 2024. First-half 2024 results
Orders received from a broadly diversified customer base totalled €4.4 million in the first half of 2024, bringing the order book to €7.5 million at 30 June 2024. ENOGIA’s H1 2024 revenue amounted to €3.6 million, up 53% compared with the same period in 2023. Exports accounted for 81% of revenue, compared with 96% in the first half of 2023, with the Chantiers de l’Atlantique contract increasing the contribution from France. Sustained momentum maintained in both businesses The ORC Modules business generated revenue of €3.0 million over the period, an increase of 34%. Its growth was driven by the completion of several significant orders in both the geothermal sector – such as the ongoing project with Taiwan Cement Corporation (TCC) – and the maritime transport sector. The first half was also marked by the completion of the German anaerobic digestion contract, with the 40 ORC modules now in operation. Innovative Turbomachinery division continued to expand, with revenue increasing almost fivefold to €0.6 million in the first half of 2024, driven by the need for decarbonisation solutions and a particular focus on supercritical CO2 turbomachinery and Carnot battery energy storage.
Significant improvement in operating profitability ENOGIA’s profitability increased significantly in the first half of 2024, reflecting business growth combined with major efforts to improve operational efficiency. As a reminder, the Company launched a three-pillar plan at the beginning of 2023:
Over the first half of 2024, the Company’s personnel expenses decreased by 13% to €1.5 million, reflecting the adjustment of the headcount. At the same time, the increase in external purchases and expenses (up 6.8% at €2.7 million) was very limited given the increase in sales. Cash-flow was positive for the first time at €0.03 million. EBITDA was also positive in the first half, at €0.1 million, compared with a loss of €1.5 million for the same period in 2023. The operating loss was €0.6 million, after €0.7 million in depreciation and amortisation, and the net loss was €0.5 million, compared with a loss of €1.8 million in the first half of 2023. On the balance sheet, shareholders’ equity was €7.1 million at 30 June 2024. With gross cash of €2.4 million, net debt was €4.1 million (compared with €2.6 million a year earlier), including the €2.3 million March 2024 bond issue via the LITA.co platform dedicated to companies committed to the sustainable economy (press release dated 18 January 2024).
Outlook: targets for 2025 confirmed After this first half perfectly in line with its ambitions, the Company is confident that it can continue to deliver sustained growth in revenue and profitability. A new pillar of the ‘focus Top line’ operational efficiency plan has been implemented since the beginning of the year. It is based on the recruitment of specific profiles (key account and international sales staff, etc.), the strengthening of relationships with distributors and the promotion of the Greenshield offer. The result will be an increase in both order intake and recurring revenue, with the full impact expected in 2025 and beyond. Against this backdrop, ENOGIA confirms its expectation of revenue growth averaging more than 50% per year in both 2024 and 2025. In terms of profitability, the Group confirms its EBITDA breakeven target for the current financial year, thanks to business growth combined with the full impact of the operational efficiency plan. Finally, ENOGIA still expects to post positive free cash flow by 2025.
