    2022 annual turnover up by +12% like-for-like and at constant currency

    The LUMIBIRD Group's consolidated annual turnover was €191m in 2022, evenly split between the Photonics (€93.5m, +22%) and Medical (€97.5m, +13%) divisions. On a like-for-like basis, annual growth is 12%. The impact of changes in the scope of consolidation is linked to the integration on 31 May of the Defense rangefinder activities of Lumibird Photonics Sweden (previously Saab), which contributed €5.7m over the year. The annual exchange rate effect was positive and represented €3.7m, mainly due to the appreciation of the dollar over the period.

    Outlook

    In 2022, the group has implemented measures to combat supply chain and rising costs (high inflation) difficulties and invested in new sites (Göteborg, Courtabœuf, Lannion and Ljubljana) to increase production capacity from 2023 onwards to meet strong demand.

    Profitability has been regained in H2 with a H2 2022 EBITDA margin of between 18% and 19%, a partial recovery from the drop in profitability experienced in H1 2022, with an estimated annual 2022 EBITDA of between €30 and €32m.2

    In 2023, the Group confirms its objective to achieve organic revenue growth of 8-10% and an EBITDA margin in the range of 20% to 25%. The Group continues to be active on potential acquisition opportunities.
