PRESS RELEASE

Anteuil, May 5th, 2023

Record revenue in Q1 2023

• Growth of +14 %, to €116.6m
• Double-digit growth over all business lines

Upward revision of 2023 revenue target to €465m

Reaffirmation of the current operating margin target of 6 % in 2023

In Q1 2023, DELFINGEN recorded revenue of €116.6m, up +14.0 % (+13.9 % at constant scope and exchange rates), thus posting its best revenue ever recorded in one quarter, continuing the growth acceleration initiated in the second half of 2022. The foreign currency effect as at late March 2023 is positive, at +1.7 %, mainly due to the parity (€/$).

Over the period, the Mobility and Industrial markets, contributed to this performance.

• Sales derived from the Mobility market totalled €99.3m, up +12.0 % (+12.4 % at constant scope and exchange rates), benefiting from the market environment stabilization that began in the second half of 2022. The textile activity recorded revenue of €19.6m, up +36.4 %, confirming its strong potential as a growth relay for the Group.

Although still operating in a macroeconomic context impacted by shortages of electronic components and the Russia-Ukraine war, DELFINGEN is capitalising on its strategic positions with its primary global cable manufacturers in order to over-perform on the automotive market (+6.7 pts), particularly in the Americas (+2.3 pts) and Asia (+28 pts) markets, which are recording strong growth this quarter.

• Sales derived from the Industrial market, one of the Group's development priorities, totalled €17.2m, up a strong +27.6 % (+24.0 % at constant scope and exchange rates).
