Gestamp, the multinational company specialized in the design, development and manufacture of highly engineered metal components for the automotive industry, has presented its results for Q2 and H1 2018 with reported revenues for the second quarter of €2,220m, which represents a growth of 9.1% and 16.2% at constant FX.

During the second quarter of 2018, growth has been driven by good volumes of existing programs and the ramp-up of new projects but partially offset by deeper impact of FX headwinds. The Company recorded an EBITDA of €257m, which represents an increase of 11.4%. At constant FX, EBITDA would have increased by 19.6%.

“We have continued to focus on profitable growth, with significant investments weighted towards H1 that are expected to continue to support our business in the coming years,” Gestamp’s CEO explained.

López Peña added: “H1 2018 results are in line with our expectations and on the right path to achieve full year guidance targets. Gestamp continues to be well positioned given its highly diversified geographical footprint and technological contribution to its customer base.”

“Gestamp will continue to grow the business at a rate above the market and to take advantage of the increasing outsourcing trend,” he concluded.
