Following the 2020 and 2021 financial years impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, John Cockerill’s activity in 2022 showed a return to pre-Covid-19 trends. In 2023, the John Cockerill order book exceeded the symbolic € 1 billion mark for the 2nd consecutive year, at € 1.1 billion. Turnover for 2023 reached € 1.2 billion. It should be noted here that turnover has been growing steadily since 2021 (+15% compared to 2022). This upward trend is all the more remarkable as it is taking place in a context of decreasing Defense business activities, which is therefore more than offset by the growth of the activities of the Group’s other businesses. As in the previous two years, the cash position of John Cockerill was very largely positive at the end of 2023, at € 241 million.
