Release of the 2021 half-year consolidated financial statements
The Supervisory Board met on September 6, 2021, under the chairmanship of Nicolas ver Hulst, to review Wendel's condensed consolidated financial statements, as approved by the Executive Board on September 2, 2021. The interim financial statements were subject to a limited review by the Statutory Auditors prior to publication.
Wendel Group’s consolidated sales reached €3,997.4 million, up +11.3% overall and up +14.7% organically.
The overall contribution of Group companies to net income from operations amounted to €401.5 million, strongly up +184.0% from the first half of 2020. This increase largely resulted from the impact of COVID19 related lockdowns in H1 2020 and resulting effects on portfolio companies.
Financial expenses, operating expenses and taxes incurred by Wendel reached €54.5 million, down -5.8% from the €57.9 million reported in H1 2020. This decrease results from a decrease in financial expense line item, down -24.0% since Wendel unwound its euro/dollar cross currency swaps in March 2021, allowing c. €25 million interest costs savings.
Non-recurring net result was a profit of 3.1 million in H1 2021 vs. a loss of €142.7 million in H1 2020. This gain is mainly due to the positive impact of the positive change in the fair value of Wendel Lab's financial assets for €51.9 million related to the IPO of an asset held by a subscribed fund.
Wendel’s net income, was a profit of €301.0 million in H1 2021, compared with a €279.3 million loss in H1 2020. Net income, Group share was a profit of €131.1 million, vs. a loss of €203.7 million in H1 2020.
