In the fourth quarter of 2021, Hexagon (excluding Purus) generated NOK 1 013 (793) million in revenues and recorded an operating profit before depreciation (EBITDA) of NOK 112 (124) million. Overall demand remains high with significant order backlog into 2022. The top-line growth, driven by both Hexagon Agility and Hexagon Ragasco, was 34% before negative year-over-year foreign currency translation effects of NOK -37 million. These impacts, mainly driven by US and German based operations, apply also to the cost base of those operations and are therefore less significant at EBITDA level.
For the year 2021, Hexagon (excluding Purus) generated NOK 3 277 (3 055) million in revenues and recorded an operating profit before depreciation (EBITDA) of NOK 381 (328) million. The top-line growth, coming from all segments, was 15% before negative year-over-year foreign currency translation effects of approximately NOK -200 million.
“As global supply chains are still trying to recover from the effects of the pandemic, these results are not just a testament to the demand for our technology, but also the foresight, skill and discipline our team has to navigate supply constraints”, says Jon Erik Engeset, CEO Hexagon Group.
