Guidance 2025
The scenarios that characterized the 2024 exercise “do not record significant changes in the first weeks of 2025”. Therefore, a “complex and difficult to read context remains: on the basis of the evidence of the start of the exercise, the group estimates – on an organic basis – a fork of sales between +1% and -5%, with the first months of 2025 representing the most challenging period of the entire exercise. In relation to operational activities, the strength of the water division should mitigate the moderate flexion of the oil division “.
At the same time “the group will continue to implement all the countermeasures aimed at protecting and consolidating marginality with the further objective of maintaining and possibly increasing the already important result of the generation of cash”.
The Board of Directors therefore approved to convene the shareholders’ meeting, which will be held in a single call on April 29, 2025, for the approval of the 2024 financial statements.
