The continued improvement in the logistics chain with the end of the shortage of rolling bases resulted in further strong growth in motorhome sales. As in the first quarter, deliveries to distributors rose by more than 20% in volume, combined with favourable price/mix effects, confirming sales growth of over 26%.

Caravan customers were more affected by the rise in interest rates: sales were down 29.4%.

Sales of accessories for leisure vehicles (-6.2%) were impacted by a wait-and-see attitude on the part of retailers, who benefited from the return of wholesalers’ inventories to normal levels during the winter season.  

Boosted by good deliveries in Italy and Croatia, sales of mobile homes (+10.8%) continued to grow despite a high comparable.

Leisure equipment

 

Sales of trailers (+8.8%) rose across all segments, with particularly strong growth for luggage trailers.

The fall in sales of other leisure equipment (-35.8%) - camping equipment and garden equipment - is not significant due to the seasonality of these activities.

 

 

 

 

Prospects

The start of the 2024 calendar year is characterised by a good performance of the motorhome market in Europe, with a strong interest from first-time buyers in particular. The number of visitors to fairs and regional shows as well as the traffic at sales outlets during spring sales campaigns are high, generating a good level of sales, particularly for new vehicles and traditional motorhomes.

Dealerships, which have rebuilt their inventories, will be in a position to deliver properly to customers in the second half of the year. Trigano's order books remain at a high level, filling its production capacity for the 2023/24 season. 

The normalisation of logistics flows - still in progress – is resulting in a transitory increase in working capital requirement, which is enhanced by the development of Trigano's retail business (Libertium and Marquis) and by the seasonality of the activity. Furthermore, the quality of margins makes it possible to consider a good growth in operating income in the first half of 2024.

Buliding on its solid financial structure, Trigano will continue to invest in the distribution of leisure vehicles and will consider any external growth operation that would enable it to strengthen its leadership in the major markets for the manufacturing of leisure vehicles and their components, accessories for leisure vehicles and trailers in Europe.

Finally, the acquisition of the company BIO Habitat is still being reviewed by the Competition Authority in France.

- for entities entering the consolidation scope in the previous year, subtracting the contribution of the acquisition from September 1st of the current year, until the last day of the month of the current year when the acquisition was made the previous year.  No significant entities left the consolidation scope during the periods mentioned in this press release.

 

Exchange rate effect
