The positive revenue performance in the first quarter of 2026 was primarily driven by significant growth in the Leisure market (which accounted for 17% of total revenues), bolstered further by the contribution from the acquisition of Indel Marine and its subsidiary Indel B USA, which was completed in 2025. More specifically, the Leisure market recorded revenues of Euro 8.8 million, up 51.4% from the Euro 5.8 million recorded in the first quarter of 2025. The contribution of the acquired companies, which relates exclusively to the
arine sector, amounted to Euro 4.1 million.The Automotive market (which accounted for 60% of total revenues) recorded growth of 4.2%, with revenues increasing to Euro 31.1 million, compared to Euro 29.9 million in the corresponding period of 2025. The quarter's performance was driven by strong sales of air-conditioning systems by the Autoclima Group, although the overall environment continues to be affected by the ongoing weakness of the Truck sector in both Europe and North America.
The Components & Spare Parts market recorded a 7.6% decrease, with revenues of Euro 5.9 million compared to Euro 6.4 million in Q1 2025, reflecting a slowdown in demand in the components segment.
The Hospitality market also recorded a decrease of 14.9%, with revenues falling from Euro 4.7 million in Q1 2025 to Euro 4.0 million in the same period of 2026. This trend is primarily attributable to the decrease in sales in the Cruise segment (-19.3%) and the slowdown in the Hotel sector (-12.9%).
The Cooling Appliances market recorded revenues of Euro 2.1 million, down 25.6% from the Euro 2.8 million recorded in Q1 2025. This decline can be attributed to a slowdown in both the Home segment (-34%) and the Professional segment (-20%).
With regard to sales channels, the OE (Original Equipment
anufacturer) channel recorded revenues of Euro22.6 million in the first quarter of 2026, down from Euro 23.8 million in the same period of 2025, representing a decrease of 5.4%. This decline is mainly attributable to the difficulties faced by the Automotive Truck sector in North America.
The A
(After arket) channel showed significant growth, with revenues reaching Euro 22.4 million in Q1 2026, compared to Euro 19.4 million in Q1 2025. This result was driven both by the strong sales performance of the Autoclima Group's air conditioning systems and by the contribution of the companies acquired in the arine sector during 2025.Lastly, the Others channel closed the first quarter of 2026 with revenues of Euro 7.0 million, compared to Euro
6.4 million in the same period of 2025, marking an increase of 9.6%.
From a geographical standpoint, the Indel B Group reported strong sales revenue performance across all regions in which it operates, with the exception of North America.
In Europe, revenues were up 9.3%, rising from Euro 27.4 million in Q1 2025 to Euro 30.0 million in the same period of 2026.
This positive performance was driven in part by increased sales of air conditioning systems by the Autoclima Group and by the contribution of sales from the company Indel Marine, which was acquired in 2025.
In Italy, revenues remained essentially stable, amounting to Euro 12.7 million, a slight decrease of 0.6% compared to the corresponding period in 2025.
In the Americas, revenues fell by 7.1%, totalling Euro 7.8 million in Q1 2026 compared to Euro 8.4 million in Q1 2025. The ongoing downturn in the Automotive OEM market in North America continued to weigh on performance in the region, although this effect was partially offset by the contribution of the Leisure market through Indel B USA.
Finally, in the Rest of the World, revenues increased by 43.4%, reaching Euro 1.5 million, compared to Euro 1.1 million in the first quarter of 2025.
Other Revenues amounted to Euro 0.6 million in Q1 2026, up 30.9%, and mainly related to the recovery of transportation costs and the re-invoicing of mould costs to certain Automotive customers.
