Consolidated revenue at 30 June 2024 was €341.6 million. It is 4.2% lower than in 2023. This economic downturn is mainly attributable to the MAC division (Joinery, Blinds and Closures for Homes and Services). It can be explained by the priority given to the rapid recovery of the gross margin of this division (price increases, rationalisation of purchases and control of headcount) and a general decline in markets.
The Group's gross margin improved by more than 2.7 points in the first half of 2024, compared with the same period in 2023. This will enable the Group to maintain a recurring operating income on ordinary activities of €13.4 million, close to the level achieved in the first half of 2023.
Operating income rose to €13.2m, an improvement of €0.7m (+5.6%) compared with the first half of 2023 (€12.5m).
Net income from consolidated companies rose significantly from €6.5m to €9.9m, mainly due to the contribution of financial income to net profit.
On 30 June 2023, Group shareholders' equity amounted to €258.4 million compared with €258.4million at 31 December 2023.

Perspectives
For the 2024 financial year, Sfpi Group expects to generate annual revenues of around €665million.
For Henri Morel, CEO and founder of Sfpi Group: "MMD and Dom Security saw their business consolidate and grow in most of their markets. The MAC and Neu-JKF divisions focused on recovering their gross margins, in a sluggish European environment. As a result of these joint efforts by all divisions, Sfpi Group's operating profit has risen and its solidity has been maintained, in line with its unchanged strategic goal: to become the leader in industrial responsibility ».
