Genan Holding A/S

Development in activities and financesThe net result for the year was DKK 15.2 million, and the equity excluding minorities hereafter amounts to DKK 383.3 million, equalling an equity ratio of 54.0%.

Revenue developed negatively in 2023, showing a 7% decrease. This was a result of a negative development in the sale of rubber products, and a decrease in both steel volume and steel prices in comparison with 2022. Despite the negative impact on revenue, gross margin increased from 18.2 in 2022 to 27.2 in 2023. This because of both lower energy costs, higher sales prices and lower freight costs – in relation to overland transportation as well as sea freight.

As in previous years, the result for the year was impacted by exchange rate adjustments, primarily in relation to USD; contrary to impact in 2022, impact in 2023 was negative. A re-evaluation of the deferred tax asset was made in 2023, resulting in a positive impact on tax of DKK 10.8 million.

Management considers the result to be satisfactory compared to a very challenging 2022 and in the light of the lower sales.

The strategic focus of the group is to continue to optimise and develop core business, i.e. the production and sale of recycled ELT rubber products. Besides this business area, the group will continue to focus on the development of refined products (custom products and alternative areas of application) which, when developed, are expected to bring the group in a positive direction. However, focus will primarily be on products closely related to the core competences of the group, which is granulate production. The development of custom products and new areas of application is progressing as planned and will continue in the years to come.

The parent company has no real operating activities besides being the holding company.
