The stock market acknowledges the resiliency of Hera’s business through a rewarding outperformance of the shares
In early 2022, the stock market’s performance has been heavily affected by a combination of negative factors, whose future evolution is difficult to predict. Geopolitical tensions, inflation, and rising interest rates, all weigh on the economic growth outlook. In this context, Hera stock outperformed both the FTSE MIB and the Italian utilities index. The market has recognised that the Company has a business model able to counteract the external negatives, through prudent policies and a business portfolio that is well-diversified and resilient.

Aliplast, Hera’s growth engine in the Waste business
Hera’s strategy in the plastic recycling is crystal clear: strengthen its leadership through the expansion in new market segments, with the aim to transform rigid plastics in addition to the flexible ones that Aliplast currently treats and, at the same time, approach new business niches, as in the case of carbon fibres. Aliplast Group – with an EBITDA doubling in 2021 vs. 2020 and reaching 36.5 million euro – will be a key driver of the 122-million-euro growth at EBITDA level that the Group targets in the Waste area by 2025.

Message from the executive chairman of the board
Healthy annual results once again confirm our long track record
In 2021, Hera achieved a 9% increase at EBITDA level, which exceeded expectations despite an external scenario still affected by COVID-19. A result that is also valuable from a qualitative point of view, given the wide range of organic factors that have fuelled the growth. Thus, Hera has once again proven how crucial it is to have a multi-business portfolio to leverage, when one is an operator able to guess new trends in demand and promptly satisfy them.
