TREVISO, Italy – The Board of Directors of De’ Longhi S.p.A. has approved the consolidated results for the first nine months of 2024. In the third quarter, the Group achieved: revenues of €805.5 million, up by 14.0% (5.2% on a like-for-like2 basis);an adjusted Ebitda of €131.1 million, representing 16.3% of revenues and an increase of 25%; Ebit equal to € 97.0 million, representing 12.0% of revenues, increasing by 29.9%.

Over the nine months, the Group reported:

• revenues of €2,229.2 million, up by 11.6% (4.1% on a constant perimeter basis);
• an adjusted Ebitda of €335.8 million, representing 15.1% of revenues and an increase of 26.7%;
• Ebit equal to € 240.8 million, equal to 10.8% of revenues, increasing by 31.7%;
• a net profit4 of €173.8 million, representing 7.8% of revenues (up from 7.1%, a rise of 22.2%);
• positive cash flow before dividends and M&A of €35.6 million.
As of September 30, 2024, the Group’s net financial position was positive at €266.1 million.

CEO Fabio de’ Longhi commented:

“The Group improved the excellent performance of recent quarters, with a 14% increase in revenue, benefiting from both the consolidation of La Marzocco and acceleration in the household sectot. The past year and a half has shown stability and persistence in trends across our categories, thanks to a structurally expanding market, which we have supported through investments in innovation and communication.

Specifically, in addition to the renewed commitment to De’ Longhi’s global coffee campaign and Braun’s CareStyle ironing products, we supported the launch of new products in the quarter, such as Nutribullet’s Flip and Kenwood’s Go collection, with dedicated events and social media campaigns. Moreover, in the professional coffee sector, La Marzocco ha reaffirmed its market leadership, further developing its business and strengthening its presence in luxury household goods with targeted partenrship intiatives, including the creation of an exclusive Porsche X La Marzocco product line.

I am fully satisfied with the improvement in profitability, with EBIT growing at double the pace of revenue growth. In addition to the expanded scope, this improvement benefited from stabilized production costs and a favourable product mix effect, indicting the continued growth of our consumers’ interest in the premium segments of our product portfolio.

The acceleration seen in recent months, along with the current market development scenario, allows us to revise our guidance upwards for the year. We now estimante, for the new scope, revenuw growth in the range of 11%-12% for 2024 (previously 9%-11%), with adjusted EBITDA between euro 540-550 million (previously euro 500-530 million)”.

During the first nine months of 2024, the Group De’ Longhi achieved a revenue expansion of 11.6%, supported by like-for-like growth at constant exchange rates at a mid- single-digit rate, along with the seven-month consolidation of La Marzocco.

The like-for-like growth in the third quarter (+5.2%) accelerated compared to the first half of the year, thanks to the consolidation of growth trends in core categories, which have shown continuity and solidity of results since mid-last year.

The Group’s profitability experienced steady and significant improvement throughout the year, with a growth rate higher than revenue, marked by a 180- basis-point increase in Adjusted EBITDA over the nine months compared to 2023. This improvement is attributable, besides the consolidation of La Marzocco, to the stabilization of certain production costs compared to previous years and a favorable product mix effect, indicating the continued growth of our consumers’ interest in the premium segments of our product portfolio.

Throughout the year, the Group has supported brands’ growth with significant investments in media and communication (‘A&P’), with a percentage on revenues over the nine months higher than the previous year (at 12.5% like-for-like, up by about 50 basis points versus Q3-23), further increasing in the third quarter due to both different phasing within the year and activities supporting the launch of new product lines.

Notable initiatives include Kenwood’s campaign for the launch of the new ‘GO’ collection, Nutribullet’s events around the new portable blender Flip, activities for Braun-branded ironing systems, and the global coffee campaign featuring Brad Pitt as an ambassador, supporting the worldwide rollout of products like Rivelia and Eletta Explore.

It should be noted that revenues have benefited from the consolidation of La Marzocco by approximately €149.0 million over the nine months (since March 1, 2024) and €62.3 million in the third quarter.

In the first nine months of 2024, revenues increased by 11.6%, reaching
€2,229.2 million, with an accelerating third quarter compared to the previous ones, up 14.0% to €805.5 million.

The currency component, which had an essentially neutral effect in the third quarter, detracted approx. 0.5 percentage points of growth on a like-for-like basis in the nine months.

Generally speaking, the Group (including La Marzocco) recorded a positive quarterly performance in all areas, with the American market clearly accelerating compared to previous quarters also thanks to growth at a high single digit rate on a like-for-like basis.

In details, in the third quarter:

• South-Western Europe showed an expansion in turnover of 7.4%, which corresponds to low-single digit growth on a like-for-like basis. The area was supported by the expansion of the certain areas such as Switzerland, Austria and the Iberian Peninsula which benefited from the performance of fully automatic coffee machines and the return to growth of kitchen machines;

• North-Eastern Europe furtherly accelerated compared to previous quarters, supported by a like for like growth in turnover at mid-teens. In particular, we highlight the significant growth in Poland, thanks also to the recovery of the Kenwood-branded kitchen machines, as well as the positive dynamics of the United Kingdom and the Czech Republic & Slovakia & Hungary;

• Scope expansion also for MEIA region which achieved organic growth at a low-single digit rate in the quarter, despite the complexities of the geopolitical context;

• Americas area significantly accelerated its growth in the period, thanks to the consolidation of La Marzocco and like-for-like turnover expansion, which returns to being positive in the nine months. Specifically, the expansion of fully automatic machines and the partnership with Nespresso supported a mid-teens growth rate in home coffee in the quarter;

Finally, the Asia Pacific region showed an increase in turnover of approximately 10%, mainly thanks to the expansion of the scope of professional coffee, which more than offset the decline in turnover at constant scope, also deteriorated by a negative currency impact in several countries in the area (-2.7 points in the quarter). Australia and New Zealand enjoyed good results from the coffee and nutrition segments, while in Japan the particularly mild winter season penalized the quarterly result.

Regarding the product segments, the favorable development dynamics of the core categories continued through the year, with solid trends over the last 18 months for both the home coffee sector and the nutrition and food preparation segment.
The favorable performance of the business, together with the contribution of the integration of La Marzocco, led the coffee area (which includes both products for domestic and professional use) to represent, both in the nine months and in the third quarter, over 60% of the Group’s revenues.

Specifically, in this quarter, home coffee machines recorded an increase in turnover at a low-teens rate, thanks to the significant expansion of fully automatic machines and the acceleration of capsule systems.

The nutrition and food preparation segment confirmed the trend of the first half of the year, with a turnover growing at a low-mid single digit rate in the quarter. In particular, we note the return to growth of Kenwood brand kitchen machines, increasing at a mid-teens rate in the period, and the continuous expansion of the blenders sector, thanks to Nutribullet personal blenders and Braun hand blenders.

Comfort sector (portable heating and air conditioning) in negative territory also in the quarter under analysis, due to the postponement of the cold season in some relevant markets, but without significant effects on the overall performance of the Group.
Home care (house cleaning and ironing) recorded an increase in turnover at a mid-single digit rate, after four consecutive quarters of double-digit growth driven by Braun-branded ironing, which grew also in the reference period.

The first nine months of 2024 closed with a significant increase in margins, both due to the consolidation of La Marzocco and on a like-for-like basis thanks to the increase in volumes, the improvement of the product mix and the further easing of inflationary pressures on some industrial costs.

In the quarter:

• the net industrial margin stood at €415.8 million, equal to 51.6% of revenues (51.3% in the 9 months) compared to 49.0% in 2023, benefiting from the growth in volumes, the improvement in product mix and the recovery of some production costs;

• the adjusted Ebitda amounted to €131.1 million, or 16.3% of revenues (15.1% in the 9 months), improving compared to the 14.9% of the third quarter of 2023. It should be noted that the increase in profitability in the quarter was achieved in a context of greater investments on advertising and
communication (“A&P”), with a like for like percentage on turnover of 12.9% (equal to an increase of approximately 190bps vs Q3-23), to support the product launches planned in the period and for a different phasing.

• Ebitda amounted to €126.0 million, or 15.6% of revenues (14.4% in 2023) after €5.1 million of non-recurring expenses (which compare with 3.1 million non-recurring charges of the third quarter of 2023) mainly relating to the existing stock option plans;

• the operating result (Ebit) stood at €97.0 million, equal to 12.0% of revenues (10.6% in 2023), after a level of depreciation substantially aligned with the levels of the previous year;

• finally, the net profit attributable to the Group amounted to €67.6 million, (€173.8 million in the 9 months) equal to 8.4% of revenues.

The Group closed the third quarter with an active Net Financial Position at 30 September of €266.1 million, down in the nine and twelve months due to the net absorption of €432.2 million in relation to the closing of the business combination of professional coffee and distributed dividends.

The cash flow, before dividends and M&A (“Free Cash Flow before dividends and M&A”) amounted to €372.3 million in the 12 months, while in the nine months it stood at €35.6 million for a temporary decline of net working capital aligned with the seasonality of the period.

In the nine months, operating working capital (equal to 7.6% of revenues in the rolling 12 months) increased compared to the position of December 2023, due to the effect of the consolidation of La Marzocco and the increase in inventory, due to of increasing production and inventories ahead of the fourth quarter.

Finally, Capex spending stood at €84.6 million in the nine months, in line with last year’s levels.

Coffee futures rally ahead of EU’s crucial vote on EUDR

MILAN — Coffee futures markets are once again bullish, ahead of the European Parliament’s crucial vote on the postponement of the implementation of the EUDR, which is scheduled on Thursday 14 November. Both terminals recovered on Monday and Tuesday, with two consecutive sessions in positive territory, helped by the continuing difficult weather situation in Brazil and Vietnam.

Yesterday, Tuesday 12th November, the Ice Arabica March contract gained 735 points (+3.1%) to close at 263.10 cents, the highest level for the main contract since early October.

In London, the contract for January delivery rose a further $61 (+1.36%) to $4,537, its highest level since 18 October.

Coffee futures prices were also boosted by investors pumping money into commodities following the U.S. election.

However, according to Pine Agronegócios, a market analysis and forecasting company, the outlook between now and the end of the year looks good and the expected improvement in weather conditions will, if nothing else, help to prevent further damage to the trees, in addition to that which has already occurred (and which is no longer repairable).

We reiterate that it will still be at least a couple of months before the first reliable estimates on the new crop can be made.

In Vietnam, physical trade remains difficult and limited due to tight supply in the market.

According to the General Department of Customs, exports – during the month of October – declined year-on-year by 11.6% to 45,412 tonnes, or only 756,867 bags (compared to 871,171 bags of Robusta exported last month from Brazil, ed.)

In the first 10 months of the calendar year, Vietnamese exports were similarly down by 11.1%, to 1.15 million tonnes or 19,166,667 million bags.

As for the weather, tropical depression Yinxing passed over Gia Lai Province yesterday afternoon bringing moisture and rain. The system has since weakened considerably.

Positive figures from the new report of the Colombian Federation of Coffee Growers. In October, Colombia produced 1.34 million bags, an increase of 16% compared to the same month last year. In the last 12 months (November-October), production rose to 12.94 million bags, up 19%.

The export trend was also positive, with a 15% increase in October to 1.047 million bags.
Exports are expected to reach 12 million bags by the end of the calendar year. Gustavo Gómez, president of the National Coffee Exporters Association of Colombia (Asoexport), meanwhile, announced in an interview that within 2-3 years, Colombia will begin producing Robusta coffee for the first time in its history.

The trial is currently underway in regions where coffee had never been grown and far away from the main Arabica areas.

Specifically in the areas of Montería (Caribe), Casanare y Meta (Llanos Orientales) and Tumaco (Pacífico). The feedback so far has been positive, with good productivity levels.

EBITDA comes to 26.9 million euro, an all-time record for the company. CDS-Casa della Salute’s revenue has grown to 45.9 million euro, with an increase of 53% compared with the same period last year. EBITDA comes to 5.4 million euro, up by 71.1%.

Over the period, the Group made significant strides in its decarbonisation efforts, guided by the Science Based Targets initiative methodology.

Italmobiliare’s short-term emissions reduction targets have already been approved, while Callmewine, Capitelli, and Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella have successfully defined and submitted their own short- and long-term greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets.

At September 30, 2024, the Net Asset Value of Italmobiliare S.p.A., excluding treasury shares, stands at 2,141.2 million euro.

Caffè Borbone ‘s revenue is up by 9.9% and continues its development trajectory in strategic channels, with particularly positive performances in large-scale retail, online and foreign markets. EBITDA is down due to the record cost of the raw coffee beans, but the margin on sales remains above 20% for the nine months.

Ernesto Illy International Coffee Award addressed the future of coffee at the UN Headquarters in New York

NEW YORK, NY, USA – In a world facing unprecedented climate challenges, the future of coffee is under threat. From droughts in Brazil to extreme weather in Vietnam, climate volatility jeopardizes the livelihood of over 12.5 million coffee growers, most of whom are smallholders. The Ernesto Illy International Coffee Award 2024 convened at the United Nations Headquarters to address the critical question: How can we secure the future of coffee in light of these environmental and socio-economic threats?

The roundtable discussion, organized by illycaffè as part of this year’s Ernesto Illy International Coffee Award, was moderated by Clare Reichenbach, CEO of the James Beard Foundation. The panel brought together renowned leaders and visionaries in coffee and sustainability, including Andrea Illy, Chairman of illycaffè and co-Chair of the Regenerative Society Foundation; Massimo Bottura, world-renowned chef and UN Goodwill Ambassador; Jamil Ahmad, Director of the UNEP New York Office; Andrea De Marco, Project Manager at UNIDO; Raina Lang, Senior Director of Sustainable Coffee at Conservation International; and Vanusia Nogueira, Executive Director of the International Coffee Organization.

The panel emphasized the urgent need to transition coffee cultivation to a regenerative model to enhance resilience, improve farmer livelihoods, and reduce environmental impact. A major focus was on establishing a $10 billion public-private fund over the next decade, which will target smallholder coffee farmers in tropical regions heavily impacted by climate change.

“Since Expo 2015, we have worked tirelessly to build a framework to protect coffee for generations to come,” said Andrea Illy, “Regenerative agriculture has shown it can produce high yields and quality while restoring natural resources. We must act quickly to scale these solutions globally through an international fund. It is essential we implement regenerative solutions now, as we see they work and deliver positive outcomes.”

Throughout the discussion, panelists underscored the importance of uniting stakeholders from governments, international organizations, and the private sector to bring impactful, lasting change to coffee-growing communities. Reichenbach highlighted that consumer awareness and participation are key drivers in the industry’s sustainability journey.

Massimo Bottura, Chef Patron Osteria Francescana and Casa Maria Luigia, Founder Food for Soul, UNEP Goodwill Ambassador, and SDG Advocate, contributed with his unique perspective “Coffee is about emotion. Coffee has the potential to embody heritage, quality, and enjoyment,” Bottura said. “We have to improve the act of drinking a cup of coffee from a routine to a conscious act of support. This shift has a direct, positive impact on the livelihoods of those who produce and cultivate it, fostering a sustainable future for coffee-growing communities.”.”

“As we confront the increasing impacts of climate change, coffee-producing communities—primarily smallholder farmers in developing regions—face unprecedented challenges that threaten their livelihoods and cultural heritage,” said Vanusia Nogueira, Executive Director of the International Coffee Organization. “This fund, and the collaboration it represents, is a crucial step towards building resilience, ensuring sustainable livelihoods, and preserving coffee’s future. Together, through public-private partnerships and global commitment, we can empower these communities to adapt, thrive, and continue sharing coffee with the world.”

“As leaders in food and sustainability, we have a responsibility to champion models that can secure vital food systems like coffee,” said Clare Reichenbach, CEO of the James Beard Foundation. “It was a privilege to moderate this important discussion and hear from many thought-leaders in the sustainability arena”
The roundtable concluded with a powerful message to the global coffee community, financial institutions, and individual consumers: Coffee-producing countries require significant investment and public-private cooperation to create scalable, resilient, and environmentally-friendly agricultural practices. The envisioned fund aims to support farmers through the transition to regenerative practices, ensuring the economic sustainability of the coffee industry while meeting climate and social challenges head-on.
