The area is forecasted to experience the most significant growth in Ultra-High Net Worth Individuals (UHNWIs) globally in the coming years. Additionally, there's an anticipated increase in yachting usage among the ultra-wealthy, given the region's currently lower penetration rates compared to more established yachting markets like the Mediterranean and the Americas.Ongoing public and private initiatives in the region, such as yachting marinas’ development projects along the Chinese Southern coastline and the rise of Hainan as a new global luxury hub, reinforces confidence in the considerable potential for sustained market growth over the long term.&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1011" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Simpson Marine (Company)">Simpson Marine</a> is expected &nbsp;to enhance the development of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/374" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sanlorenzo (Company)">Sanlorenzo</a>'s service offerings on a global scale.

In their most recent financial disclosure, the Board of Directors of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/374" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sanlorenzo (Company)">Sanlorenzo</a>, under the chairmanship of Massimo Perotti, gathered to review and approve the preliminary consolidated results as of 31 December 2023.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/250520/image/large-0a3fbeca280e8c3933c53ff570e0aa4f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/250520"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/374" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sanlorenzo (Company)">Sanlorenzo</a> demonstrated robust financial performance in 2023, with Net Revenues from New Yachts reaching €840.2 million, marking a 13.4% increase from €740.7 million in 2022. In the fourth quarter alone, Net Revenues from New Yachts amounted to €214.2 million, reflecting an 8.9% rise over the €196.6 million recorded in the corresponding period of the previous year.An analysis of the factors contributing to the growth in Net Revenues from New Yachts reveals that the Yacht Division played a pivotal role, reporting €510.6 million, which represents a 9.9% increase compared to 2022. In a similar vein, the Superyacht Division significantly boosted the overall performance, generating Net Revenues from New Yachts of €238.3 million, marking a 19% increase. Additionally, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5648" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bluegame (Company)">Bluegame</a> demonstrated substantial growth, with Net Revenues from New Yachts reaching €91.3 million, a 20.2% increase compared to the previous year.Geographically, the European market demonstrated significant growth. Net revenues from new yachts in Europe experienced a substantial increase of 38.3%, rising from €417,268,000 in 2022 to €577,238,000 in 2023. Concurrently, this region's contribution to the total net revenues expanded, moving from 56.3% in 2022 to 68.7% in 2023.The Middle East and Africa (MEA) region exhibited the highest growth rate, with net revenues from new yachts increasing by 83.7%, from €42,641,000 in 2022 to €78,333,000 in 2023. The MEA region's share of the total net revenues also increased from 5.7% in 2022 to 9.3% in 2023.&nbsp;The Americas witnessed a decline in net revenues, decreasing by 46% from €171,497,000 in 2022 to €92,594,000 in 2023. Furthermore, the region's contribution to total net revenues dropped from 23.2% in 2022 to 11% in 2023.The Asia-Pacific (APAC) region also saw a decline in net revenues from new yachts by 15.8%, from €109,273,000 in 2022 to €91,999,000 in 2023. The APAC region's share of total net revenues also decreased from 14.8% in 2022 to 11.0% in 2023.&nbsp;The net cash position of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/374" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sanlorenzo (Company)">Sanlorenzo</a> as of 31 December 2023 stood at €140.5 million, reflecting a significant increase of €40.2 million from the €100.3 million recorded on 31 December 2022. This improvement in the net cash position was achieved after accounting for several key financial activities throughout the year, including the distribution of dividends amounting to €22.9 million, a share buy-back initiative costing €3.3 million, organic net investments totaling €44.5 million, and the financial impact of €11.3 million related to changes in the net financial position (NFP) from the consolidation perimeter adjustments. These adjustments were notably influenced by the acquisition and subsequent consolidation of majority stakes in Duerre and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7075" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sea Energy (Company)">Sea Energy</a>, marking a strategic expansion of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/374" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sanlorenzo (Company)">Sanlorenzo</a>'s operational footprint.In the fourth quarter of 2023, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/374" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sanlorenzo (Company)">Sanlorenzo</a>'s order intake was €207.8 million, a 30% increase from the €159.1 million recorded in the same period of 2022. This contributed to a total of €812.3 million in new orders for 2023, slightly below the €894.7 million seen in 2022. The change reflects a market normalization, partially due to the impact of extended yacht delivery times, with schedules planned up to 2028.Commenting on the strong financial performance Perotti stated: “The performance of the year is substantiated by the growth of all the main metrics – at income and assets level, as well as in terms of constant ability to generate new cash to support future investments and the remuneration of our shareholders.”“In this perspective, we signed in December the contract for the acquisition of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1011" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Simpson Marine (Company)">Simpson Marine</a>, allowing us direct control in the APAC area towards which we have significantly high expectations in the medium-long term, but not only: the capillary structure in the South-East Asia will be synergic with the international development strategy of services. For example, in chartering, the activities started with the acquisition of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2790" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Equinoxe Yachts International (Company)">Equinoxe</a>.”&nbsp;“Also in December, the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding to explore a possible partnership with the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/313" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nautor Swan (Company)">Nautor Swan Group</a> fits perfectly into our long-term strategy, especially in terms of sustainability given the obvious complementarity between the world of sailing and the cutting-edge technologies that we are applying for the use of green methanol and hydrogen as yachting fuels of the future”.
