Belgium: Etex recorded first-half consolidated sales of Euro1.45bn in 2021, up by 18% year-on-year from Euro1.23bn in the first half of 2020. Its recurring earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation (REBITDA) rose by 50% to Euro308m from Euro206m. The group increased its profit for the period by 98% to Euro139m from Euro70m. Its building performance division’s sales increased by 29% on a like-for-like basis to Euro1.03bn. Its residential segment recorded particular growth due to ‘dynamic’ renovation activities. All of the division’s operating regions performed well, with all product ranges progressing year-on-year in sales, volumes and margins terms.

Chief executive officer Paul Van Oyen said, “Although the on-going Covid-19 pandemic was still heavily impacting people’s lives, as well as the global economy, in the first half of 2021, the consequences for Etex cannot be compared to what we have experienced last year. The company benefitted from a very dynamic market, especially the home repair and improvement activities, as well as from the fact that our operations were hardly halted - whereas we suffered from several weeks of plant lockdowns in different countries during the second quarter of 2020. Moreover, the ambitious cost control measures we rapidly put in place last year continued to bear fruit in 2021” He added “Overall, we maintained our focus on local decision-making, enabling our leaders on the field to take the right steps and inspiring the trust of our people. More importantly, we never lost sight of our ‘Inspiring ways of living’ purpose in the face of many challenges. All of this while keeping our relentless dedication to the safety and well-being of our people, which is and will always be our number one priority.”
