Message from Management

We remain focused on the continuous improvement of our operations, as well as the introduction of new technologies into our product portfolio, with the aim of providing our customers with the best solution for their success. We have also been working on developing our human capital, represented by a committed, engaged team aligned with ROMI's purposes.

Although the domestic market and, mainly, the foreign market are experiencing a moment of instability, we are convinced that our competitive advantages will continue to allow us to evolve and add more and more value to all stakeholders. We continue to strengthen our investments in innovation through new technologies, such as connectivity, big data, new generations of machines, improvement of our processes and human development, which will allow us to capture market opportunities, both in Brazil and abroad.

Additionally, our solutions, such as machine rental and PRODZ, a fintech specialized in financing Romi machines, have responded very well, even in a more volatile environment, allowing us to mitigate reductions in certain markets and maintain solid and profitable business.

We had solid cash generation in the quarter, demonstrating ROMI's ability to react and adapt quickly to market fluctuations.

Current Economic Scenario

The third quarter of 2023 continues to indicate an unstable environment for investments, both in the domestic and international markets. We also note that the set of recent indicators shows a scenario of strong industrial activity, with high use of installed capacity, however, the perspectives regarding the future economic scenario have been unstable. The Business Confidence Index presents a fluctuating scenario, reflecting local and global geopolitical and economic instabilities. On the other hand, recent signs of a reduction in interest rates and control of inflation in Brazil could have a positive impact on general market confidence and boost new investments.

During the third quarter, we observed a recent fluctuation in the Industrial Entrepreneur Confidence Index (ICEI), which reached 50.5 in October. Although investors currently face a challenging environment for making investments, industry leaders continue to express optimism through the index, even amid a more complex environment for investments.

In the third quarter of 2023, we noticed the continuity of uncertainties and their impact on the confidence of industrial entrepreneurs, which have fluctuated, without a defined direction throughout the year. The use of installed capacity remained at high levels, which demonstrates a domestic market with good prospects for stability until the end of 2023.

In the foreign market, the current levels of inflation, the rising interest rates and the political instabilities are affecting investment prospects. As a result of the reduction in demand in the foreign market, at the ROMI Machines Unit, incoming orders showed a 23.9% drop in comparison with the same period in 2022.

As previously mentioned, the new generations of products, with important technological evolutions in the mechatronic part, in thermal compensation and in their connectivity, also allowed the Company to seek competitive alternatives to enable new business to its customers, such as, for example, the leasing of machines. In the third quarter of 2023, 68 new machines have been rented, or 77 new contracts (27 machines in 3Q22 or 38 new contracts), which represent approximately R$ 19.4 million (R$13.8 million in 3Q22). Since the date this solution was launched to the market, in June 2020, 613 machines have been rented, or 735 contracts, representing R$195.2 million. Such contracts are valid for 12 to 24 months.

In 3Q23 The German subsidiary BW has received significant new orders, leading to a substantial increase in Order Entry. These new orders are expected to materialize throughout 2024.

The Cast and Machined Cast Iron Parts Unit had a reduction of 52.3 % in incoming orders, primarily due to a decrease in new projects related to the wind power sector. This is largely

This Business Unit's net operating revenue reached R$193.9 million in 3Q23, showing a reduction of 14.7% when compared to 3Q22, reflecting the decrease in incoming orders from the foreign market, which was largely offset by the significant increase in revenues from machine rental, a business launched by ROMI in mid-2020.
