July 31 (Reuters) - Shares in Italian electrode maker
Industrie De Nora DNR.MI fell more than 8% after the company
on Monday posted lower core profits and said it expected a
slowdown in its full-year revenue growth.
"The outlook for 2023 confirms the profitability and
financial structure targets, notwithstanding a slow-down of
the expected revenue growth, which remains at the low end of the
range considered for 2023," it said in a statement.
The Milan-listed shares of De Nora fell as much as 8.6%
during the session, and were down 3.9% at 19.35 euros ($21.37)as
of 1351 GMT.
Presenting its H1 results, De Nora announced a drop in
adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization (EBITDA), which fell to 86.1 million euros from
102.3 million euros in the first six months of 2022.
"Compared to the previous year, the change mainly reflects
an exceptionally positive first half of 2022 and a different mix
of revenues in the Electrode Technologies and Water Technologies
businesses," the company said.
