improved EBITA margin and EPS, continued investments in organic growth, further optimised portfolio

CEO statement
“We relentlessly drive forward our updated Aalberts strategy ‘focused acceleration’, as presented in December 2017. Our new company passport was launched and we continued to invest in many organic growth and innovation initiatives, facilitating the plans of our dedicated and motivated business teams. Our operational excellence programme made good progress. We delivered a good performance with 5% organic revenue growth, 6% EBITA growth, an improved EBITA margin of 12.9% and a net profit and earnings per share increase of 11%. We divested approximately EUR 40 million of annual revenue to further optimise our portfolio and strengthened our market positions with two bolt-on acquisitions.”
