(Boursier.com) — In a context still affected by the electronic components crisis and after a turnover of 51.3 million euros, Groupe Aures achieves an operating result of -1.13 ME, i.e. an operating margin rate of -2.19%, in the 1st half of 2022.

The net result amounts to -83 kE (+2.3 ME at June 30, 2021). The financial result is +1.21 ME (454 kE over the same period in 2021). It is also mainly impacted by changes in the foreign exchange market and the strong fluctuation in the US dollar on the closing date. The tax charge amounts to 167 kE.

Cash has deteriorated over the period and the Group has net debt as of June 30, 2022 of €7.9 million compared to positive net cash of €3.7 million as of December 31, 2022.
This cyclical deterioration is mainly linked to a large volume of stored purchases due to difficulties in the supply chain.

Outlook

Since the beginning of the financial year, the Aures group has applied itself to strengthening and securing its supply chain. All of these changes will be effective before the end of 2022 and two new POS products will be marketed.

The Group’s 360 digital solution should be marketable in the first half of 2023.

The group aims to maintain the level of turnover in 2022 at the same level as in 2021.
