Interim Reports

On November 9, 2023, A.S. Création published its interim report for the period ended September 30, 2023

 

In the first nine months of 2023, A.S. Création's consolidated sales revenues declined by € 8.6 million or 8.4% from € 102.5 million in the previous year to € 93.9 million in the reporting period. As A.S. Création generates almost 80% of its consolidated revenues in the European Union plus the UK and wallpapers and furnishing fabrics are classified as consumer goods, the weak consumer spending in this region had a negative impact on consolidated revenues.

 

A.S. Création reported an operating loss of € -1.2 million for the first nine months of 2023, compared to an operating loss of € -2.7 million in the same period of the previous year. This marked improvement in earnings, which was achieved despite lower sales revenues, reflects the first effects of A.S. Création's new outlook.


Overall, the Managing Board is not satisfied with the earnings trend in the first nine months of 2023.
