Annual results
U10 registered a very good performance in the second half compared with H1 2020 that was severely impacted by the closure of distributors.
On that basis, EBITDA for the second half alone reached €4.3 million or nearly the total amount for EBITDA for all of 2019, confirming the relevance of the digital transition carried out by U10 prior to the health crisis.
Despite this, a net loss was recorded for the year linked to the poor H1 performance and non- recurring expenses.
Working Capital Requirements decreased by €15.5 million, strengthening free cash flow.
Net debt has continued to decline, ending the year at €20.6 million. In the last two years, financial debt has thus been reduced by €33.8 million.
Short-termcash flow is positive at €12.9 million, based on net inflows of €30.7 million in the period.
Operating highlights
In January, U10 launched its B2B digital order management platform. This new tool, perfectly adapted to current needs for remote business functionalities, was particularly well-received.
In Europe, U10 has fully benefited from the continuing strength of demand for home products in the beginning of 2021.
U10 will not propose the distribution of a dividend at the Annual General Meeting to be held on 2 June 2021. Depending on the evolution of the health crisis, the company reserves the possibility of organising this meeting as a closed-door session.
