A word from the CEO

Overall, 2023 was a good year for the electronics contract manufacturing market, although increased inventory levels were a common problem that maintained price pressure. In early 2023, also Incap’s largest customer for the Indian factory announced that their stock level had become too high and that they had to reduce their orders. The full impact of the decreased volumes of the Indian factory was only visible in the last months of the year. At other factories, production volumes increased.

In 2023, our revenue decreased 16% year on year and amounted to EUR 221.6 million. Excluding sales to our largest customer, our revenue grew 35% year on year and also excluding the impact of the Pennatronics acquisition, the growth was 17%. The increase in revenue was boosted by all other Incap’s units in Europe, effective sales work to existing and new customers, and the successful acquisition in the US.

Although our profitability was affected by the lower utilisation ratio of our factory in India, we were able to quickly adjust our cost level and to keep our own inventories on a healthy level. Our EBIT in 2023 was EUR 28.2 million or 12.7% of revenue, which we think is an indication of our strong operating model and agility.

When it comes to sustainability, we want to be a forerunner in the industry and invested in sustainable development at all our factories. We supplemented our corporate responsibility programme by defining more detailed targets for previously selected key figures. In the autumn, we conducted a Group-wide employee engagement survey for the first time and launched a double materiality assessment. We prepared for the new CSRD reporting requirements by, for instance, extending our CO2 reporting. We see that the standardised reporting requirements contribute to the positive development we are committed to.
