Significant growth driven by India and Mexico, alongside good cash generation - in spite of strong inflation and higher interes rates

“We close a good year 2022, considering the significant general economic challenges and the impact of inflation on the operating margin. The Schools business drove the development of markets such as India and Mexico and from 2023, with the destocking due to the COVID period bubble coming to an end, we shall see a return to growth for the Fine Art business” stated Massimo Candela, CEO of F.I.L.A. “The first half of 2023 will be particularly challenging as, despite the positive effect from rising prices in the initial months of the year, the margin shall continue to be impacted by 2022’s inflationary pressures on costs. We confirm our strong outlook for 2023, with mid-single-digit organic revenue growth, driven by India and Mexico and the recovery of all other markets, more proportional growth in EBITDA and an improved margin. Finally, we confirm the investment plan envisaged in the Business Plan, including ESG objectives, such as the reduction of CO2 emissions and water withdrawals".

The lesser EBITDA than revenue growth is also due to the different sales mix and the increasing contribution to Group revenue of Asia and Central and South America, which today account respectively for 17.2% and 9.8% of the total, nearly tripling on 2021 (6.3% and 3.7% respectively)
