Over the course of the last quarter 2022, Groupe OKwind recorded
strong growth in its three business segments (farms, local
authorities/industrial sites and individuals).
The electricity price environment remains at ever-high levels.
As a result, many professionals concerned about reducing their
energy bills have chosen Groupe OKwind's solutions, which offer
them low-carbon energy at a reduced and constant cost.
In total, 2022 revenues amount to €41.8 million, an increase by
65.9% compared to December 31, 2021, a level significantly above
the €35 million target set at the time of the Company's IPO in July
2022.
At the same time, the acceleration of the commercial momentum
has continued across all business segments with firm order intake
growing exponentially to €80.6 million for fiscal year 2022, an
increase by 186% compared to 2021.
As a result, the backlog has significantly increased and
amounted to €45 million at December 31, 2022, compared to €5.5
million at December 31, 2021.
The growth in revenues has been accompanied by an EBITDA
performance in line with expectations. The Company confirms the
achievement of a consolidated EBITDA rate of around 10% for the
year 2022.
Cash and cash equivalents at December
31, 2022
As of December 31, 2022, the Group's cash position amounted to
€21.8 million, compared to €2.7 million a year earlier. The success
of the initial public offering in July 2022 with a €20.5 million
capital increase and the issuance of a €3.0 million convertible
bond in favor of Sofiprotéol has strengthened the Company's
financial resources.
During the second half of 2022, the Company experienced a
virtuous operating cycle with control of its Working Capital
Requirements and the acceleration of cash generation.
Post-closing event
On the occasion of the Board of Directors meeting held today,
and pursuant to the authorization granted by the Company's General
Meeting on May 6, 2022, a free share allocation plan equivalent to
approximately 1% of the capital was approved. This plan is intended
for all employees of Groupe OKwind, on the basis of an equal
distribution model. In concrete terms, the individual distribution
of 550 free shares will be made on an equal basis, without taking
into account the hierarchical level or seniority of employees with
a 2-year vesting period and no lock-up period.
Development strategy and
outlook
2023 will enable Groupe OKwind to accelerate its commercial
deployment in all its business segments and more specifically in
the farming market, the Company's 1st market, and with local
authorities and industrial sites. As for the activity with private
individuals (Lumioo), Groupe OKwind will reinforce the coverage of
this vertical throughout France.
In parallel, the Company will consider international development
opportunities.
Groupe OKwind will also focus on consolidating its technological
progress with new product developments, in particular a new range
of trackers currently at the pre-production stage, as well as new
energy management and storage systems.
Currently in a hyper-growth phase, the Company is particularly
careful in structuring its operational development.
To this end, the national network will be strengthened with the
opening of 3 new offices over the course of 2023, bringing their
number to 8. In addition, the Company intends to strengthen its
partnerships with players specialized in the assembly and
installation of trackers.
At the level of production teams, the Company will increase its
resources and optimize its industrial performance by improving the
flow management in its production workshop.
Finally, the supply environment is improving as the continuous
rise in prices seems to be over and supply times are now much
shorter.
With a robust business model and a solid and high-quality
backlog, Groupe OKwind targets revenues of around €80 million for
the year 2023.
In the near term, the Company confirms its 2026 objectives with
revenues of €175 million and a consolidated EBITDA rate of around
20%.

Revenues for the 1st quarter of 2023, on April 17, 2023 after
market close.
