Beneteau 2024 Financial Results: Solid Performance Amid Market Challenges

Beneteau has announced solid financial results for 2024 despite a challenging market environment. The company reported an income from ordinary operations of €76 million, surpassing forecasts with a 7.3% margin. A noteworthy decision was made to distribute an exceptional dividend of €100 million, followed by a regular dividend of €18 million. Beneteau forecasts revenues of €0.9 billion to €1 billion for 2025, influenced by market contractions and reduced dealer stock.

The Boat division, despite a 29.4% revenue decline from 2023, benefited from a strategic focus on premium products. The division achieved €75.9 million income from operations, with a margin exceeding forecasts. This success was aided by cost reductions and efficient inflation management.

In 2025, Beneteau plans to introduce 66 new models by 2028, aiming for revenues of €1.5 billion. The company also strengthens its commitment to sustainability, with a significant decrease in CO2 emission intensity reported.
