Rational AG, a leading German commercial-kitchen supplier, has announced impressive financial results for the second quarter of this year. The company's higher prices have contributed to increased earnings and revenue.
Earnings and Revenue Surge
Rational AG has reported an aftertax profit of 54.4 million euros ($59.5 million) in the second quarter, compared to EUR34.7 million in the same period last year. This substantial increase can be attributed to a 20% growth in revenue, which reached EUR278.3 million.
Contributing Factors
According to Rational, the growth in earnings and revenue has been driven by a rise in the number of appliances sold and price increases. The company has experienced growth across all regions, with North America leading the way at 50%, following excellent performance in the U.S.
Impressive EBIT Performance
Rational AG's earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) also saw a significant improvement, reaching EUR69.5 million compared to EUR45.4 million in the previous year. The company attributes this success to operating expenses and costs of material usage increasing at a slower pace than sales revenues in the first half.
Outlook for 2023
Rational AG maintains its positive outlook for 2023, with expectations of high single-digit percentage sales growth. However, the company anticipates that operating expenses will rise more quickly than sales revenue, resulting in a slightly lower EBIT margin compared to the previous year's level of 23%.
It is clear that Rational AG's strategic pricing and expanding customer base have positioned the company for continued success in the competitive commercial-kitchen supply industry.
