Guidance reiterated – renewed confidence in dividend
growth
On 5 September 2024, Clarisse Gobin-Swiecznik,
Managing Partner, commented: “Following a record-breaking 2023,
we have delivered strong operational results in the first half of
this year. We achieved strong performance in the Caribbean hampered
by challenges in Kenya and Nigeria. Photosol development is
progressing as planned. These investments, which are crucial for
securing future growth are underway. Our robust cash flow
generation reflects the strength of our Group and supports our
growing dividend policy. Despite a few exceptional items affecting
our bottom line, I am confident that we will meet our full-year
guidance and remain optimistic about the Company’s continued growth
and future development.”
H1 2024
results4
highlights
- Energy
Distribution:
- Retail
& Marketing - Volume up 4%, gross margin at €416m down 7% (+0%
LFL5),
- Continued strong
performance of Retail, C&I and Aviation businesses in the
Caribbean, driven by the booming development of Guyana, the
increase in airlines frequencies in Barbados and the dynamism of
Jamaica.
- Eastern Africa:
Kenya saw a very dynamic first-half on the aviation side, with
increased flights combined with superior customer service. This
significant uptake was not sufficient to absorb the headwinds to
the retail business over this first-half (protests, floods,
economic downturn and FX volatility), leading to an overall
lacklustre performance.
- The Bitumen
activity was particularly strong in South Africa but continued to
be dragged on by the political context in Nigeria. Margins stood at
a comfortable level.
- Support
& Services - Gross margin down 8%, after a
very high H1 2023
- Bitumen supply
volume showed lower levels in Q2 vs Q2 2023 with low demand for
bitumen trading in the US.
- H1 2023 saw
important crude deliveries, generating a time lag with 2024, which
should catch up over the year.
- Renewable
Electricity Production:
- Secured portfolio
at 1GWp, up 55% yoy.
- EBITDA at €11m, up
12% yoy .
- Acceleration of
development costs to support Photosol’s future growth.

H1 2024 FINANCIAL
PERFORMANCE
H1 2024 has seen a 12% decrease in EBITDA to
€358m and EBIT to €257m (-20% yoy).
At Group level, financial charges have increased
to reach €50m in H1 2024 vs €36m in H1 2023. This variation is
explained by the increase in interest rates, and a higher debt at
Photosol consistent with capacity in operation increase. As regards
FX financial charges, they reached €32m over the first-half, vs a
very high €80m (gross) in H1 2023. Main contributors were Kenya
(€14m) and Nigeria (€11m) where the currency was stable after the
devaluation observed in January.
Profit before tax decreased by 15% and Net
income Group share by 24% at €130m.
Focus on elements to be taken into
account to analyse variations on a comparable basis (see Appendix
for further detail)
At EBITDA level, H1 2024 includes:
-
Compensation-related impacts (IFRS2, among others): €15m
- Advisory fees
(strategy and M&A): €3m
H1 2023 included:
-
Compensation-related impacts (IFRS2, among others): €6m
- FX passthrough in
Nigeria: €(25)m
- Refund by the State
of the 2022 revenue shortfall in Madagascar: €(11)m
When adjusted for these elements, EBITDA
decreased by 1% yoy.
At EBIT level, two large bitumen vessels have
seen their life expectancy reduced from 28 to 25 years due to more
restrictive vetting policies, leading to an additional depreciation
expense of €4m for H1 2024 as compared to H1 2023.
EBIT decrease on a comparable basis reduces to
-5%.
For H1 2024, the impact of the OECD Global
Minimum Tax first-time application reached approximately €12m.
Further to the announcement of the divestment of
Rubis Terminal 55% stake, Rubis Terminal has been accounted for
under IFRS 5 – Noncurrent assets held for sale since 31 March 2024.
As a reminder, H1 2023 includes €5m related to Q2 2023.
On a comparable basis, Net income Group share
decreased by 4% over H1 2024.
The 18% increase in cash flow from operating
activities to €286m illustrates the strength of operations. Cash
flow generation before cost of net financial debt and tax stands at
€352m, 6% higher than in H1 2023.
Rubis corporate net financial debt (corporate
NFD) reached €1,079m at the end of H1 2024, leading to a corporate
NFD/EBITDA at 1.6x.
Capex reached €103m, of which €35m were
dedicated to Renewable Electricity Production. The remaining €68m
are split between maintenance (80%) and growth and energy
transition investments (20%) in the Energy Distribution business
line.

The first half of 2024 saw volume increasing vs
an already high H1 2023. When excluding the refund by the State of
the 2022 revenue shortfall in Madagascar and the FX effect in
Nigeria from 2023, gross margin stayed stable at €416m. EBIT landed
at €200m, vs €247m in H1 2023 (-19% yoy, -3% on a comparable
basis). In H1 2024, Capex decreased to €59m (-15% yoy).

(1) Adjusted for
exceptional items and FX effects.
LPG demand was overall stable
over the first-half, autogas in Europe and bulk in Morocco,
compensating for the softer demand in South Africa. Gross margin
and unit margin remained stable, in line with volume.
As regards fuel:
-
The retail
business (service stations representing 49% of
fuel volume and 52% of H1 fuel gross margin) once again
showed its resilience. Volume was stable over H1. Gross
margin decreased by 23%, under separate effects:
- H1 2023 had seen
exceptional elements in Madagascar and in Kenya, leading to a
particularly high comparable base on retail gross margins;
- Retail activity in
Kenya was under pressure in H1 2024, challenges including protests,
floods and economic downturn weighed on performance. The Kenyan
Shilling further appreciation in Q2 also had a negative impact on
gross margin;
- On the other hand,
activity continued to be very dynamic in the Caribbean, with
Jamaica, Antigua, Grenada, Dominica (where operations resumed in
2023), and Guyana performing way above expectations.
- Following
the same strong momentum started in Q1, the
Commercial and Industrial
business (C&I, representing 28% of fuel volume
and 28% of H1 fuel gross margin) increased by 6% in volume, and 15%
in gross margin, led by Guyana and Barbados.
-
The aviation
segment (representing 20% of fuel volume and 17%
of fuel gross margin) was very dynamic with volume growth
reaching +32% over H1, and gross margin at +34%. This
excellent performance was driven by Kenya, where the
rationalisation of the aviation portfolio proved successful and
margins were managed very efficiently in Q2, and by the Eastern
Caribbean region, where airlines increased their frequencies.
Bitumen volume was down 6% yoy,
mainly driven by Nigeria, partially offset by the strong
performance of South Africa, Togo and Cameroon. When restated from
the passthrough of FX impact to customers in H1 2023, gross margin
showed a +27% increase yoy.

By region, the dynamics of this first-half were
as follows:
-
Europe continues to benefit from its strong LPG
positioning (LPG accounts for >90% of regional gross profit)
This segment increased slightly (+4% in volume), driven by autogas
in France and Spain, and bottles in Portugal. The overall margin
was in line with volume growth at +3%. EBIT declined by 8%, but
increased by 3% on a comparable basis, in line with volume and
gross margin growth;
- the
Caribbean region remained buoyant, with volumes up
5%, despite the complicated situation in Haiti (volume: -24%). The
C&I business performed particularly well, with optimal
operating conditions, and +16% gains in unit margin. EBIT increased
by 22%, led by Jamaica and Guyana;
- lastly, in
Africa, gross margin was down 13%, adjusted for
the sequencing of payment in 2023 by the State of the 2022 revenue
shortfall in Madagascar (€11m) and the neutralisation of foreign
exchange losses in Nigeria (€25m). The half-year was marked by
difficult operating conditions in Nigeria and Kenya, combined with
high volatility in foreign exchange rate in Kenya.
Support &
Services
The Support & Services
business recorded EBIT of €85m (-10% yoy, -6% on a comparable
basis) in H1 2024.
Volume (+3%) and margins (-8%) have shown
resilience, after the record-high H1 2023. Q1 2023 had seen
significant crude deliveries, while 2024 deliveries have
experienced delays. The strong momentum observed in trading
activity in the Caribbean in Q1 continued in Q2 with +22% in volume
and +27% gross margin over the first-half, benefiting from the two
vessels acquired in 2023.
The SARA refinery and logistics operations
present specific business models with stable earnings profile.
Capex normalised at €9m (vs €39m in H1 2023,
-77% yoy), as H1 2023 included the acquisition of two new LPG
vessels in the Caribbean and one bitumen vessel.
RENEWABLE ELECTRICITY
PRODUCTION
The level of assets in operation grew by 17% yoy
at 460 MWp. The secured portfolio reached 1 GWp, up 55% yoy.
Revenue reached €24m over H1 2024, c. €4m of
which coming from direct sales to the market. When restated for
these direct sales to the market, revenue was stable vs H1 2023,
although Assets in operation grew by 17% yoy. EBITDA reached €11m
over H1 2024, hampered by:
- weather-related
effects (lower load factor, local hailstorms damaging panels);
- decrease in spot
prices, thereby downgrading the level of extra-revenue generated by
plants temporarily benefitting from spot price;
- acceleration of
development costs to support Photosol’s future growth.

Further to the announcement of the divestment of
Rubis Terminal 55% stake, Rubis Terminal has been accounted for
under IFRS 5 - Noncurrent assets held for sale since 31 March
2024.
H1 2024 Net income Group share includes three
months of Rubis Terminal contribution while H1 2023 included six
months.
As of 30 June 2024, the completion of the sale
of Rubis Terminal 55% stake is subject to the satisfaction of
various closing conditions, including obtaining all the required
administrative approvals. The corresponding capital gain will be
included in Net income Group share at closing.
OUTLOOK
After a very solid performance in H1 2024, the
Caribbean region will continue to deliver strong growth. Europe
positive operating momentum will also continue. The economic
situation in Africa remains unstable, in Kenya in particular.
The acceleration of development costs in the
Renewable division will weigh on 2024 and 2025 EBITDA, paving the
way for future growth.
As a result, the guidance provided to the market
for 2024 is reiterated with a Group EBITDA expected to reach €725m
to €775m. Net income Group share should remain stable despite the
first-time application of the Global Minimum Tax representing an
impact estimated between €20m and €25m. Confidence in dividend
growth is also renewed.
