The increase in sales is driven by the Company's business in Spain, which grew 23% and accounts for 75% of its revenue. The international segment also experienced 3% growth.
This sales improvement was achieved thanks to higher occupation levels in the machinery park and to strong drive among the complementary rental businesses, which the Company has been promoting for a long time. These business lines: The company is clearly differentiated from competitors in the distribution, purchase-sale, training, maintenance etc. services it provides.
Accumulated EBITDA grew 28% to 20.5 million euros, compared to 16 million euros in the same period in 2018, which was an improvement of two percentage points on the sales margin. It is thus worth highlighting the effect that the application of the new IFRS 16 on Leases in 2019 had on these figures. Isolating this effect, EBITDA grew 12% compared to the same period in 2018 and EBITDA margin was 18 million euros.
The improved turnover and margins resulted in increased Operating Profit of 37%, to 1.3 million euros, and yielded a net profit of 6.1 million euros.
