Amersfoort, The Netherlands – 15 August 2024 – Envipco, a global provider of recycling systems and reverse vending machines, continued to grow at a fast pace during the second quarter, posting revenue growth and commercial momentum for both the European and the North American operations.
Q2 24 group revenues grew 61% y/y to EUR 26.6 million, driven by strong advances in Hungarian, Romanian and Greek operations. Gross profit increased 66% y/y to EUR 9.5 million corresponding to a gross margin of 35.6%, up from 34.5% in Q2 23. EBITDA was EUR 2.6m in the quarter for an EBITDA margin of 9.6%, up from EBITDA of –0.1m in Q2 23.
CEO Simon Bolton comments:
“Q2 24 has been another solid quarter for Envipco. We continue to grow at a fast pace, with 12- month trailing revenues close to EUR 115 million, driven by strong advances in our Hungarian, Romanian and Greek operations. We are pleased to see a nice upturn in North American operations as well, with y/y growth in both RVM sales and program services.
Our business development activities remain at high levels, and we are continuing to invest in new markets. Activities in our current key European markets Hungary, Romania and Greece remain high, markets anticipated to drive growth also in the second half of 2024. Commercial requests and our business development activities are quickly picking up momentum in Portugal and Poland, which are expected to be the next two markets to introduce deposit return schemes (DRS). We are further piloting our Quantum bulk feed technology in various European and North American markets and anticipate a rising opportunity pipeline ahead.
The long-term outlook for our industry remains very promising. EU is closer to introducing DRS across the continent in the second half of the decade and the UK has announced intent to introduce DRS in 2027. Envipco’s leading technology plays an important role in DRS operations and our vast experience and delivery capacity give us confidence to continue to expand and grow our market share.”
Outlook:
Envipco is addressing expanding market opportunities in Europe and North America. The introduction of deposit return schemes (DRS) has been announced for new markets for the coming years, and with the EU PPWR expected to enter into force in the next few quarters, new markets are expected to follow.
Envipco remains committed to its 2025 ambitions, and the company will continue to invest in market development, technology platform and organization while continuing to drive operating leverage.
Subsequent events:
- New customer win: Envipco signed a supply agreement for more than 200 Optima RVMs for H2 24 delivery with a large Romanian retail group
- Acquired 100% of Sensibin Limited, a Dublin, Ireland-based supplier of reverse vending machines, advancing Envipco's position in the rapidly growing convenience-store segment
