SigmaRoc plc (AIM:#SRC) Final Results for the 12 months ended 31 December 2023 📈 Record earnings performance ahead of expectations ⛏ Revenue & EBITDA growth, despite volume decline 💰 £4m annualised profitability gains through operational efficiencies 💼 Transformational acquisition READ HERE: https://lnkd.in/e8j_7q7U Max Vermorken, CEO, commented:   "2023 is another year where SigmaRoc delivered performance ahead of expectations in challenging market conditions. We have demonstrated resilient trading, growing revenue, EBITDA and EPS whilst managing the balance sheet to deliver reduced year end gearing, despite the growth and continuing investment into the business.   The strategic initiatives we launched in the year are all now contributing, with the transformational acquisition of European lime assets that creates Europe's leading lime business completed immediately post year end with the integration of these assets progressing in line with our expectations.   We continue to innovate in our business and are well set up with our enlarged footprint and focus on lime to benefit from long term drivers across the industrial, construction and environmental markets. The transition to a green economy will drive investment in critical infrastructure, with lime an essential component of every aspect of this investment.   2024 has started well and I look forward to updating the market on what I expect to be another year of progress as Northern Europe's leading lime operator."
