The figures correspond to a currency-adjusted increase of 10.4% compared to the previous year
Wilo Group, a leading pump manufacturer and digital pioneer in the pump industry, reveals remarkable financial results for the fiscal year 2023, and continues to grow profitably and sustainably. Despite a challenging market environment, the multinational technology group achieved record net sales of around AED 7.82 billion in the 2023 financial year. This corresponds to a currency-adjusted increase of 10.4% compared to the previous year.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) also reached a new record high of AED 848.27 million. The consolidated net income rose by over 20 per cent to AED 293.96 million. Wilo further quadrupled its cash flow from operating activities to AED 641.09 million.
“On one hand, this excellent development is due to the tireless efforts of our nearly 9,000 employees. They work to achieve Wilo’s success every day,” explains Oliver Hermes, President & CEO of the Wilo Group. “On the other hand, it is the result of determined entrepreneurial action. Wilo’s consistent strategic focus on sustainability and diversification has allowed us to remain extremely successful, despite the economic downturn.”
The company continues to succeed globally, while also demonstrating resilient growth in the Middle Eastern market by providing advanced pump technologies for diverse sectors, particularly wastewater management in the MENA region. With a growing focus on wastewater treatment and the Middle East and Africa pump market expected to reach USD 11.93 billion by 2028, Wilo Middle East and North Africa strives to be a hallmark of excellence by offering cutting-edge solutions, exceptional services, and sustainable practices to clients across the region.
The Wilo Group had set the course for a strategic realignment in 2023. Its sustainability strategy now takes precedence over all other functional corporate strategies. Wilo has also invested heavily in modern and efficient corporate infrastructure and completed several acquisitions. For example, Wilo opened two new, state-of-the-art plants in India and China and acquired companies in the USA and Canada. “We have strengthened the basis for accelerated growth in the future – both in view of profitability and, above all, sustainability,” continues Hermes.
We understand the key roles innovation and sustainability play in fostering long-term success and maximising value for our stakeholders. Sustainable practices are woven into our choices, products, and partnerships, and will continue to be the base of our operations.
