Prodways Group (Euronext Paris: PWG), a specialist in digital manufacturing, today reports its revenue for second-quarter and first-half 2020.

(€ million) H1 2020[1] H1 2019 Change Q2 20201 Q2 2019 Change
Systems 16.8 21.3 -20.9% 7.0 10.8 -35.1%
Products 9.9 14.2 -30.4% 4.2 7.2 -41.0%
Structure & disposals 0.1 (0.2) n.s. 0.2 (0.0) n.s
Consolidated revenue 26.8 35.3 -24.0% 11.4 17.9 -36.5%

 

 

Group revenue was €26.8 million in first-half 2020, compared to €35.3 million one year previously. As expected, revenue for second-quarter 2020 was adversely affected by the health crisis and the resulting lockdown. At €11.4 million, it was down 36.5%. The Group recorded a gradual improvement in all its activities throughout the quarter, however, and a sharp recovery in the month of June, which was up 12% compared with June 2019.

The Systems division – comprising 3D software, 3D printers and related materials and services – generated revenue of €16.8 million in first-half 2020, down 20.9%, while second-quarter 2020 recorded a decline of 35.1%. Despite the unfavorable environment, the division maintained strong business momentum: the Software distribution activity signed its biggest contract ever during the quarter, and Solidscape signed two contracts to equip customers in the jewelry sector with several dozen machines.

The Products division – comprising the design and manufacturing of on-demand parts and medical applications – recorded revenue of €4.2 million in second-quarter 2020, down 41.0% compared to second-quarter 2019. In medical activities (audiology, chiropody and dental), the shutdown of our customers' activity, with the total closure of practitioners' offices during the lockdown, led to the complete stoppage of all these activities with very short backlogs. The Group has nevertheless noted a strong recovery in these activities since June.

 

  • 2020 Outlook

Since the start of the crisis, Prodways Group successfully implemented cost savings and production adjustment initiatives to mitigate to some extent the impact, while the Group continues to invest in technologies to support future growth. Nevertheless, first-half 2020 results will be severely affected by the slump in activity and asset impairment with no effect on cash, currently being reviewed by the Group.

At this stage, management remains cautious about second-half 2020 outlook. The Group may have recorded a catch-up effect in June, but the COVID-19 pandemic is still active and creating ongoing uncertainty.

Although the macroeconomic environment is uncertain in the short term, the Group remains confident in its business model and the long-term opportunities in its markets. The Group also has a solid financial position with available cash of more than 20 million euros as of June 30, 2020.
