Miguel Nabeiro Ensinas Serra Borrega's questions to NXPRF leadership • Q3 2024
Question
Sought clarification on the 'hyper cycle' in medium voltage given recent growth figures, the sequential evolution of the G&T backlog, order intake strategy, and the potential impact of copper shortages on the business.
Answer
The moderate growth in medium voltage is a result of a selective strategy to protect accretive EBITDA margins. The G&T backlog evolution reflects revenue recognition, with H2 EBITDA margins expected to be similar to H1 before improving in future years. A major copper shortage is not an immediate concern for Nexans due to its size and privileged access, but if it occurred, the Usages business would be most affected.
