SANTERAMO IN COLLE,
In this context, we continue working and investing in the two fundamentals pillars for our transformation: completing the transition to a brand-life style and restructure our operations.
On the commercial front , Natuzzi today has completed the transition to a brand / retail group. 92.2% of our sales comes from Branded and 61.7% comes from retail. These percentage were respectively 85.3% and 52.2% at the beginning of 2021.
In 2023, with an acceleration in the last quarter, we have invested significantly to increase the control of our global retail and commercial operations. This has led to two initiatives, respectively aimed at improving the retail and the other at managing our galleries and wholesales business.
To improve retail
performance, we have established the Global Retail Division under the leadership of
This division is dedicated to modernizing and professionalizing our retail approach by developing tools to support our Regions and Dealers in enhancing the retail performances and elevate the in-store customer experience. We have standardized all retail related KPIs to accelerate the diagnosis of areas requiring immediate intervention to foster organic growth. Leveraging the experience we have matured in our direct stores, we now offer our franchising partners turn-key retail programs, which include IT systems, training, and guidelines on store layout, merchandising, and visuals. To improve the productivity of our DOS and Franchise partners we closed the tail of not performing stores.
On the wholesale front , we introduced the Natuzzi Commercial Excellence Program. This program allows us to assign specific targets to each business account and drive commercial priorities for each of our 304 employees in the global commercial team. This constitutes a significant change in our way of working, which enables us to centrally manage and control the activities of our field force and independent dealers globally. In our search to become a consumer centric company, we introduced a Consumer CRM to maintain a constant dialogue between our stores and clients, serving also to increase loyalty and incentivize product repurchase.
As a results of these investments and actions taken over the last 12 months, the control on our retail and wholesale business is now significantly stronger and we are confident that this will allow us to accelerate organic growth.
In 2023, despite the negative market conditions, based on the confidence of our brand and retail project, we opened 9 DOS, of which 6 in
Today Natuzzi has 678 stores (DOS and FOS) around the world and 665 branded galleries. This constitutes a significant platform for organic growth and a distinctive competitive advantage. Among the 100 markets where we distribute our products, we have identified 3 strategic regions where to prioritize our future investment, namely the US,
In US
, we opened 6 DOS, 1 FOS and 7 Natuzzi galleries. We reviewed the leadership organization to ensure focus on the two main components of our business:
Out of the 678 stores, 346 stores are located in
On the restructuring front
, we continued addressing the industrial legacy of the group, particularly in
We executed the staff restructuring, in compliance with our ethics standards and with the labor regulations of the different markets which are particularly restrictive in some geographic areas we operate, chiefly in
Following is a recap of the number of people involved in restructuring at Group level in the three-year period 2021-2023, the related costs and expected savings.

4Q 2023 CONSOLIDATED REVENUE
4Q 2023 consolidated revenue amounted to €84.1 million, from €116.5 million in 4Q 2022. 4Q 2023 were affected by the persisting macroeconomic and industry-specific challenges, resulting in a reduced consumers’ spending capacity and postponement of durable purchases. Furthermore, 4Q 2023 compares with a strong 4Q 2022 that benefitted from a €16.9 million reduction in post-COVID backlog.
Excluding “other sales” of €2.4 million, 4Q 2023 invoiced sales from upholstered and other home furnishings products amounted to €81.7 million, compared to €113.4 million in 4Q 2022.
Revenues from upholstered and other home furnishings products are hereafter described according to the main dimensions of the Group’s business:
- A: Branded/Unbranded Business
- B: Key Markets
- C: Distribution
A. Branded/Unbranded business
The Group operates in the branded business (with Natuzzi Italia, Natuzzi Editions and Divani&Divani by Natuzzi) and the unbranded business, the latter with collections dedicated to large-scale distribution.
A1. Branded business. Within the branded business, Natuzzi is pursuing a dual-brand strategy:
i) Natuzzi Italia, our luxury furniture brand, offers products entirely designed and manufactured in
ii) Natuzzi Editions, our contemporary collection, offers products entirely designed in
In 4Q 2023, Natuzzi’s branded invoiced sales amounted to €75.3 million, compared to €103.9 million in 4Q 2022. In the context of declining consumer spending and postponement of durable purchase, Natuzzi Italia has been affected strongly given its premium positioning versus Natuzzi Editions.
The following is the contribution of each Brand to 4Q 2023 invoiced sales:
-
Natuzzi Italia invoiced sales amounted to €26.6 million, from €51.8 million in 4Q 2022. As anticipated, in the current generalized context of declining consumer spending and postponement of durable purchase, Natuzzi Italia has been strongly affected given its premium positioning. In addition, 4Q 2023 compares to a strong 4Q 2022, which benefitted from about €8 million of backlog reduction.
InChina , sales continued to be affected by the overstock and negative economic and industry-specific momentum reported by our JV inChina , whereasEurope still struggles with a difficult macroeconomic context and geopolitical instability. -
Natuzzi Editions invoiced sales (including invoiced sales from Divani&Divani by Natuzzi) amounted to €48.7 million, from €52.1 million in 4Q 2022. Specifically, while the Divani&Divani by Natuzzi sales were affected by a more aggressive competitive arena in
Italy , Natuzzi Editions sales were flat compared to 4Q 2022, thanks to the 6 Natuzzi Editions stores opened in the US between the second part of 2022 and 2023, whose overall productivity increased in 4Q 2023, offsetting the weak performance in other regions.
A2. Unbranded business. Invoiced sales from our unbranded business amounted to €6.4 million in 4Q 2023, from €9.5 million in 4Q 2022. The Company’s strategy is to focus on selected large accounts and serve them with a more efficient go-to-market model.
B. Key Markets

In an effort to continuously improve the productivity of our DOS and Franchise partners we closed the tail of not performing stores.
The Group also sells its branded products by means of 665 points of sales located in five continents, encompassing mostly shop-in-shop galleries (including 12 Natuzzi Concessions, i.e., store-in-store points of sale directly managed by the Mexican subsidiary of the Group).
(1) Included 3 DOS in the
(2) All directly operated by our joint venture in
FOS = Franchise stores managed by independent partners.
During 4Q 2023, Group’s invoiced sales from direct retail, DOS and Concessions directly operated by the Group, amounted to €19.2 million, compared to €22.2 million in 4Q 2022.
In 4Q 2023, invoiced sales from franchise stores amounted to €31.3 million, compared to €46.6 million in 4Q 2022.
We continue executing our strategy to evolve into a Brand/Retailer and improve the quality of our distribution network. The weight of the invoiced sales generated by the retail network (Direct retail and Franchise Operated Stores, or FOS) on total upholstered and home furnishings business in 4Q 2023 was 61.7% compared to 60.7% in 4Q 2022 and 51.5% in 4Q 2019.
The Group also sells its products through the wholesale channel, consisting primarily of Natuzzi-branded galleries in multi-brand stores, as well as mass distributors selling unbranded products. During 4Q 2023, invoiced sales from the wholesale channel amounted to €31.3 million, compared to €44.6 million in 4Q 2022 and €46.4 million in 4Q 2019.
4Q 2023 GROSS MARGIN
During 4Q 2023, net of restructuring costs, we had a gross margin of 36.2%.
The decrease in sales between 4Q 2023 and 4Q 2022 resulted in a higher incidence of fixed costs on sales, which has been partially offset by increased efficiency in the average consumption of raw materials, improved brand and channel mix, as well as pricing discipline.
Indeed, 4Q 2023 cost of labor included €5.1 of one-off extraordinary costs connected to the reduction plan of workers, especially within the Italian factories.
The application of the related accounting principle imposed us to accrue the overall restructuring cost as soon as the corresponding liability arises, the majority of which occurred in the fourth quarter of 2023, while all the benefits will be reflected starting from 2024.
We will continue to go in this direction, as the increase in the Group’s flexibility to enhance gross margin is among our top priorities of our plans.
4Q 2023 OPERATING EXPENSES
During 4Q 2023 we have reduced the operating expenses (which include selling expenses, administrative expenses, other operating income/expenses, and the impairment of trade receivables) by €8.7 million, passing from (€41.3) million in 4Q 2022 to (€32.6) million in 4Q 2023.
While the Company is focused on decreasing those discretionary costs that are not directly connected to sales, the limited turnover reported in the quarter have hindered its ability to effectively absorb fixed costs. Consequently, this has led to an increase in the percentage weight of the overall operating expenses in relation to revenue.
Specifically, the overall €8.7 million reduction is mainly due to the following:
─ a €8.4 million reduction in transportation costs, as result of renegotiation of transportation rates and lower volume delivered;
─ a €1.2 million reduction in custom duties due to fewer products manufactured in
Such reduction in costs was partially offset by:
─ a €0.7 million increase due to one-off costs in connection to the staff reduction plan at the HQ in
─ a €0.2 million increase in amortization following the DOS openings in 2023.
The Company will continue to focus on reducing selling and administrative expenses also in 2024, by renegotiating contracts with suppliers, reviewing its staff allocation at retail level, and by reviewing its overall processes, looking for further efficiency.
4Q 2023 NET FINANCE INCOME/(COSTS)
During 4Q 2023, the Company accounted for (€2.8) million of Net Finance costs compared to Net Finance costs of (€4.8) million in 4Q 2022. Rising interest rates continue to adversely impact our results principally in terms of increased interest expense of rental contracts as well as third-party financing, notwithstanding the outstanding bank debt in the quarter on average decreased compared to 4Q 2022.
KEY RESULTS: FULL YEAR 2023
During 2023, the Company reported the following results:
─ Total revenue of €328.6 million, compared to €468.5 million in 2022.
─ We had a gross margin of 34.3%, from 35.1% and 29.7% reported in 2022 and 2019, respectively. 2023 gross margin also includes (€6.3) million of restructuring costs connected to the overall reduction plan of workers at Group level.
─ Depreciation and amortization for the period, which also include the depreciation charge of right-of-use assets related to the operating leases and accounted for in the cost of sales, selling and administrative expenses, amounted to €22.4 million in 2023, compared to €21.7 million and €25.1 million in 2022 and 2019, respectively.
─ We had an operating loss of (€9.5) million, compared to an operating profit of €8.5 million in 2022 and an operating loss of (€22.5) million in 2019. 2023 operating loss of (€9.5) million includes (€7.4) million of extraordinary costs to reduce the number of workforce, and specifically:
- within the cost of sales, the above-mentioned (€6.3) million of labor-related restructuring costs;
-
within selling and administrative expenses, a (€1.1) million of labor-related restructuring costs in connection to the reduction plan of employees in
Italy .
─ Net Finance costs were (€8.5) million, mainly as a result of rising interest rates, compared to Net Finance costs of (€5.2) million in 2022 and net finance costs of (€9.9) million in 2019.
─ We had a loss after tax for the period of (€16.2) million, which compares to a profit after tax of €1.3 million in 2022 and to a loss after tax of (€33.7) million in 2019.
BALANCE SHEET AND CASH FLOW
During 2023, €3.2 million of net cash were provided by operating activities as a result of:
─ a loss for the period of (€16.2) million;
─ adjustments for non-monetary items of €26.9 million, of which depreciation and amortization of €22.4 million;
─ a €0.7 positive contribution from working capital change, mainly as a result of a €8.0 million decrease in the inventory level, a €9.8 million decrease in trade receivables and other assets, partially offset by a (€11.2) million decrease in trade payables and other liabilities, and (€4.4) million for payments connected to the reduction of workforce;
─ interest and taxes paid for (€8.3) million.
During 2023, (€7.9) million of cash were used in investing activities, as a result of (€11.8) million of net capital expenditure partially offset by €3.0 million collected from our JV in
