The consolidated financial results include the performances of Simtel Team, Simtel Solar, the entity in the Republic of Moldova in which Simtel holds the entire participation, as well as ANT Power Energy and Agora Robotics, compa-nies in which Simtel Team has a 51% stake.
„The significant financial and operational results recorded at the level of the first quarter of 2023 are based on the substantial increase in the number of projects implemented during 2022, which led the closure of a significant number of these projects in the first quarter of this year. Also, we built approxi-mately 18 MWp during this period and attracted nine new clients. Requests for renewable energy solu-tions provided by Simtel continue to be high this year, with projects currently being carried out outside Romania in countries such as the Czech Republic and Austria. In addition, we are involved in several tenders alongside many foreign companies. The company’s positive performances are the result of the investments made in the last three years, which have put us in the position of managing the entire en-ergy ecosystem of a client. Currently, Simtel covers all the needs of a client in terms of renewable en-ergy and energy efficiency, from building photovoltaic power plants, ensuring maintenance and forecast-ing, to remote monitoring, optimization, and control of energy consumption”, stated Iulian Nedea, co-founder, Chairman of the Board of Directors and CEO of Simtel Team.
At the individual level, the turnover reached 62.6 million lei in the first three months of 2023, an increase of 608% compared to the same period last year, and a net profit of 2.4 million lei, up by 1,444% com-pared to the first quarter of 2022.
The performance in the first quarter of 2023 was determined by the excellent and continuous contribu-tion of the renewable energy business line, which contributed approximately 55.7 million lei to the indi-vidual turnover, compared to 7.9 million lei generated in the first quarter of last year. Telecommunica-tions contributed 7% to the total individual turnover and generated revenues of approximately 4.4 million lei in the first quarter of 2023, compared to 88 thousand lei in the same period last year. The increase is due to a different schedule for closing completed projects compared to previous reporting periods. The share of the other business lines represented 4% of the total individual turnover.
In 2023, Simtel aims for a consolidated turnover of 296.1 million lei, EBITDA of 31.5 million lei, and a net profit of 25.6 million lei. The revenue and expense budget was approved by Simtel’s shareholders at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, which took place on April 25, 2023.
