PRESS RELEASE
Q4 revenue: +7.7%
12-month sales: +9.6 %
Mortagne-sur-Sèvre, France, 12 February 2019 - COGELEC (ISIN: FR0013335742/
ticker: COGEC), the French leader in access control systems for building
complexes, is today publishing its sales figures for the fourth quarter of
2018.
Revenue
(in EURm) 2018 2017 Change 2018
vs.2017
Q1 7.6 7.1 7%
Q2 8.1 7.3 10.7%
Q3 7.7 6.7 13.9%
Q4 10.2 9.5 7.7%
12-month total 33.6 30.6 9.6%
Annual sales in line with our expectations
Fourth-quarter sales increased 7.7% to EUR10.22m, compared with EUR9.5m a year
earlier.
Growth was driven by sales of Intratone, which rose 19.8% over the period
(EUR6.7m in Q4 2018, compared to EUR5.6m in Q4 2017). Sales of Hexact were
stable, in line with our expectations.
Total 12-month sales increased 9.6% to EUR33.6m.
Strong growth expected in 2019
Consistent with the growth plan presented at the time of our IPO, 2019 stands
to gain from several levers:
- Growth in the installed base, which exceeded the one million mark in terms of
equipped housing at the start of the year;
- Our international roll-out, with the ramp-up in the salesforce.
o 15 sales representatives in Germany, up from 9 in early November,
o 7 sales representatives in the UK, up from 6 in early November,
o 4 sales representatives in the Benelux region, up from 3 in early November.
That gives us a total salesforce of 26 sales representatives and a headcount of
48 employees in international markets. The last of these recruitments are now
being finalised, which rounds off the planned roll-out phase.
- Cogelec's universal key solution, Kibolt, which is due to come on the market
at the end of March.
