POST-BALANCE SHEET EVENT
EXERCISE OF THE NEOCONTROL CALL OPTION —
Somfy exercised its call option on 20 January 2018, and purchased the remaining 39% interest in Neocontrol, in which it previously held a 61% interest, and which was recognised via the equity method at an amount of BRL 2.1 million, i.e . around €0.6 million. Somfy has therefore taken control of Neocontrol, in which it now holds 100% of the capital, and will now fully consolidate the company.
OUTLOOK
The environment should remain favourable over the short term within the Group’s various business segments and regions, and thus lead to growth in sales over the course of the current financial year in spite of the high comparison base. Similarly, stabilisation or even a slight improvement in the current operating margin (1) will be a possibility given the gradual decline in the factors responsible for last year’s erosion. The current financial year will also be marked by the continued roll-out of the new strategic plan (Believe & ACT) to allow the Group to strengthen its foundation and fully capitalise on the significant potential represented by the move towards the digitalisation of buildings, the motorisation of interior products and the streamlining of energy consumption. The development of completely open solutions, illustrated by the interoperability agreements recently concluded with the brands Amazon Alexa, Apple Homekit, Google Home, Legrand, Schneider Electric and the IFTTT platform, testifies to the Group’s desire to be a key player in the connected home and a byword for comfort, environmental protection and security in the home.
