Manitou Group Q1 2021 sales revenue reported
Q1 2021 revenues of 471 million euros, 12 percent increase vs. Q1’2020; 15 percent like for like at constant scope and exchange.
“Activity in the first quarter confirms and expands the rebound that we have seen at the end of 2020. All markets and sectors of activity have experienced extremely sustained growth,” says Michel Denis, Manitou president and Ceo.
"On the strength of this momentum, the group has set an all-time record for order intake, which reached 815 million euros in the quarter. As a direct consequence of this recovery, our order backlog jumped to 1.344 million euros, an unprecedented high level.
“From an operational point of view, we are organizing the adaptation of our production line speeds, taking into account the time required to accelerate our entire supply chain and the need to recruit and train additional manpower. The situation is made more complex by tensions over the availability of certain components.
“This context has created an inflationary trend in raw materials and specific components, which has led us to pass on these increases immediately to our tariffs. Given the depth of our order book, these rises of prices will only have their first effects at the end of the year.
“We remain fully focused on the upturn. Our acceleration is still limited by an ecosystem that cannot take off any faster. We are confirming our business and earnings expectations for the year, while remaining very vigilant about the delays that could result from the lack of availability of some components or a further deterioration in the health situation."

Business review by division
With quarterly revenues of 388 million euros, the Product Division recorded growth of 12 percent (15 percent increase at constant exchange rates and scope) compared to Q1 2020. The new Product Division (combination of the former MHA and CEP divisions) is organizing the ramp-up of its supply chain and the transition to stage 5 of its production for Europe. As a result of major innovations, the division recently presented the expansion and renewal of part of its range of equipment for the construction industry.
The Services and Solutions Division (S&S) also reported a 12 percent increase in revenues (14 percent increase at constant exchange rates and scope) compared to Q1 2020, to 83 million euros. Business is very strong in all markets, with pressure on availability and prices in the distribution of spare parts.
