In 2022, Storent Investments AS the net revenue of the company increased by 3%, reaching EUR 5 million. The reporting year closed with a loss of EUR 438 447, which was mostly the result of impairment losses recognized for subsidiary in Kaliningrad.

In 2022, Storent Investments AS group managed to slightly improve its performance indicators despite the unstable geopolitical situation. The net revenue of the Group increased by 3%, reaching EUR 47.2 million, and total income improved by 8%. Although the rental market still faces strong price competition and rental equipment overcapacity, rental prices started to rise slowly mainly due to the high inflation level.

On December 28, 2022, changes were made in the composition of Storent Investments AS shareholders, and Storent Holdings SIA became its sole shareholder. Consequently, Storent Investments AS and its subsidiary companies became part of the newly established holding company, which also includes the equipment rental companies SELECTIA SIA and SELECTIA PLUS SIA.

Storent Investments AS and its subsidiaries have a modern rental fleet, a large rental depot network, and a wide customer base, as well as a very well-developed brand, an experienced team, and digital know-how. SEL Investments SIA and its two subsidiaries own around 50% of the construction equipment fleet that Storent Holdings SIA group operates. The merger of the two companies will enable the Group to increase its expertise and improve its financial ratios so that Storent Holdings SIA group continues to develop at a significantly higher speed and with greater profitability.

Net profit of the newly established Storent Holdings SIA group showed 4.7 million euros. The company’s equity reached 23 million euros, which makes up 45% of its balance sheet and significantly improves the stability of the Group. In attachment you will find the consolidated report of Storent Holdings SIA group, which reflects the financial results of the newly established holding.

In 2023, Storent Investments AS group management expects that the rental revenues will increase by 10%, which will be facilitated by new investments in rental equipment, an increase in rental prices, and online sales. In the summer of 2023, it is planned to introduce a new website that will be more convenient for the end user as well as will continue to transform its IT strategy and new cloud-based ERP system implementation is expected to be finalized by the end of 2023.
