All regions contributed to the strong momentum, particularly EMEA (40m€ / up 40%1) and the Americas (97m€ / up 65%1).

Supported by the strong topline momentum as well as continued focus on operational efficiency, SPG has increased adjusted EBITDA to 72.1m€ during the first nine month of 2021 translating into strong cash generation and deleverage.
Keith Cochrane, CEO, commented:
“Against the backdrop of the ongoing pandemic and other global challenges, our Group has achieved another quarter of strong growth, surpassing the performance of pre-Covid times in terms of order intake, sales and profitability. By effective execution of our strategy, we are seeing good momentum across our strategic focus areas. With an order book in excess of 600m€, I am confident that we will close 2021 with a record result and have the platform to support further growth into 2022.”
