First half 2023-2024
revenue
First half 2023-2024 revenue amounted to €492.7 million, up 2.0% as reported and up 2.9% at constant foreign exchange rates and scope. The decline in Sugar Beet Harvesting and Leisure volumes was more than offset by strong momentum in Industrial and Agricultural Spraying.
First half 2023‐2024
financial results
Recurring EBITDA rose 5% to €30.5 million, or 6.2% of Group revenue, compared to €29.0 million or 6.0% of sales in H1 2022-2023, despite the application of IFRS 16, requiring the amortization of the balance of future rents on current leases.
Net income for the first half of 2023-2024 totaled €4.7 million, up from €4.2 million in H1 2022-2023.
Balance sheet
as of March 31, 2024
Net financial debt (NFD) amounted to €212.7 million at March 31, 2024, compared to €176.4 million at the same date last year. Although higher than expected, the increase remains in line with the seasonal nature of the Group’s business. It is mainly due to two factors:
- The excessive increase in inventories, which are currently being reduced;
- The launch of construction work on the new plant in Stains, France.
Nonetheless, EXEL Industries has recently renewed a number of lines of credit, which are largely sufficient to meet its needs.

Daniel Tragus, Chief Executive Officer of the EXEL Industries Group
“EXEL Industries posted a solid first half with satisfactory operating margins. Nevertheless, for several months, the trends felt in agricultural activity have encouraged us to remain vigilant. We hope that the rainy spring will be followed by a sunnier summer, giving the desire to garden again. Hopefully, industrial activity should remain strong, thanks to many ongoing projects. Tight management of working capital and efforts to reduce debt are expected to bear fruit in the coming months.”
