BCM GROUP
Oberteuringen
Palas
For organizational purposes, BCM Group is composed of the following operating segments.
In Q1 2021, the Group's revenue decreased by -13.8% compared with the prior-year period. The reason for this was the decline in revenue in the Security Technologies segment because of new and continued lockdowns, travel restrictions and social distancing requirements resulting from COVID-19. The relative decrease was amplified by the fact that the volume of business in the Q1 2020 comparative period prior to the outbreak of the pandemic was at a high level. By contrast, revenue in the Environmental Technologies
segment more than doubled. Because of the lower absolute size of this segment compared with Security Technologies, however, it was not possible to fully offset the decline in the latter's business.
Broken down by regions, BCM Group's revenue development in EMEA, with a mere -5.6% decline to €7,136 thousand, was largely stable compared with the pre-crisis level. +27.0% growth to €2,252 thousand was generated in the APAC region, due to in particular a large delivery in the Security Technologies segment for an infrastructure project in Hong Kong. In the Americas – largely in the U.S.A. – revenue fell by -55.3% to €1,443 thousand. In addition to the effects of the pandemic in the reporting period, this was in particular due to large deliveries of KVM technology in course of a U.S. project in prior-year period Q1 2020.
Central Functions | In the Central Functions, costs increased at the level of adjusted EBITDA. This was a result primarily of greater due diligence activities compared with the Q1 2020 prior-year period. Thus, the costs for the in-depth review of potential acquisition targets amounted to €508 thousand, compared with only €71 thousand in the prior-year comparative period.

Following a market dominated by the coronavirus crisis in 2020, significant obstacles were still evident in the M&A environment in the first quarter of 2021. Despite the slow rise in the pace of administering COVID vaccinations, the situation is largely unchanged especially in the German-speaking countries. The high numbers of new infections in the recent past meant that German industry continued to be adversely affected by lockdowns and travel restrictions. The small number of high-quality acquisition opportunities, accompanied by stiffer competition and unchanged high purchase price expectations, is also hampering the acquisition of new technology leaders in the focus of BCM Group. Based on rising vaccination rates and the resulting hopes that the current restrictions will be eased, as well as the buoyant availability of finance, the continued low interest rates and the returning confidence in the markets, we are expecting an upturn in the M&A market in the coming months.
Environmental Technologies | Revenue grew by +114.3% in the Environmental Technologies segment. In addition to a comparatively weak prior-year quarter, this was due in particular to the high volume of business with new products for testing the effectiveness of respiratory masks. To some extent, there was also a revival in demand for conventional products for the certified measurement of fine dust in ambient air. A large number of procurement measures had been delayed in this area in fiscal year 2020 due to lockdown measures and social distancing restrictions.
At 81.6% the gross profit margin was higher than in the prior-year period (78.9%). The reason for this is the high positive change in finished goods and work in progress.
The adjusted EBITDA margin increased significantly, from 12.0% in the prior-year period to 33.5%. This was mainly because of the strong revenue and the resulting economies of scale and, to a lesser extent, the higher gross profit margin.
In its development activities, Palas worked on expanding the functionalities of the AQ Guard indoor measuring device. These relate to the additional measurement of NO, O3, SO2 and CO to cover the most important indicators of air quality in addition to fine dust. Additionally, a number of certification projects are in progress in a range of regional markets, such as ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) and CCEP (China Certification for Environmental Products) standards. In order to optimize the algorithms for fine dust measurement to the local situation, corresponding measurement campaigns are being performed in China. Moreover, Palas is strengthening its research and development department by adding software capacity, with the aim of extending Palas's offering to include digital services and products.
Security Technologies | Because of customer-related project postponements triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Security Technologies segment recorded a -41.4% decline in revenue. In addition, the prior-year first quarter had been comparatively strong, with revenue of €10,333 thousand, further amplifying the decline in revenue. Due to the renewed lockdowns, travel restrictions and social distancing requirements, customer orders are being delayed, and the more difficult on-site interaction with customers had a negative impact on this segment's course of business. Still, the planning of infrastructure projects is seen to progress, however with a tendency towards considerable delays in placing orders and in the subsequent realization. There are no significant cancellations of projects, nor have an increased number of projects been lost to competitors. The volume of the sales pipeline is growing continuously – most recently especially in China. Based on this, management is anticipating catch-up effects and stronger revenue in the second half of 2021.
At 64.7%, the gross profit margin was lower than in the prior-year period (69.1%). This was due to adverse shifts in the revenue mix. On the one hand, this concerned the product mix, whereas the more profitable switches had a lower sales share in the reporting period. In addition, with many customers, discounts on the price list are negotiated individually and in Q1 2021, revenue share of above average discount customers was higher than in the prior-year period. These effects applied to February and especially January. In March, gross profit margin was slightly above 70% again.
At 11.5%, the adjusted EBITDA margin was substantially lower than the prior-year figure (32.1%). In addition to the reduced gross profit margin, this was due to the interaction between the significantly lower level of revenue and the existing fixed costs.
The ongoing processes for further security certifications of IHSE products, in particular the U.S. National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP) and the international Common Criteria for Information Technology Security Evaluation, are at an advanced stage. In addition, IHSE is playing a leading role in a pilot project sponsored by the German Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure (BMVI) involving the development of a smart city control center for automated and connected driving in logistics at the Friedrichshafen test site (project ALFRIED).
In the reporting period, IHSE also neared completion of its preparations for the establishment of its new sales entity in Guangzhou, China.
As explained in detail in the segment reporting, consolidated revenue declined by 13.8% to €10,831 thousand in Q1 2021. Cost of materials rose by 10.8% to €3,772 thousand, personnel expenses by 12.0% to €4,811 thousand and depreciation and amortization by 29.8% to €487 thousand. Other operating expenses decreased by 4.1% to €2,600 thousand. Amortization of intangible assets identified in initial consolidation decreased by 12.5% to €1,708 thousand. Finance costs rose by 160.7% to €1,459 thousand and were driven primarily by remeasurement losses of €860 thousand on the NCI put provision because of the EBITDA growth at Palas expected for the current fiscal year. Eliminating this effect results in finance costs of €599 thousand. After income taxes, the net loss for the quarter was €-2,791 thousand (prior-year period: €-1,114 thousand).
Please refer to Note 38 to our 2020 Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on the NCI put.
With total assets of €304,830 thousand, the Group's assets are split between 53.8% non-current assets and 46.2% current assets as of the reporting date. The largest items quantitatively are intangible assets, including goodwill (€151,723 thousand), cash and cash equivalents (€122,781 thousand), property, plant and equipment (€11,735 thousand) and inventories (€10,542 thousand). Intangible assets relate primarily to the customer base, basic technologies and trademarks identified in the course of purchase price allocation for the Palas and IHSE acquisitions (PPA assets) as well as goodwill. Property, plant and equipment consists largely of land and buildings at IHSE's headquarters in Oberteuringen at Lake Constance.
The change in net assets since the beginning of the fiscal year was a result in particular of the decrease in trade receivables and of the amortization of PPA assets. Trade receivables had been higher as of 31 December 2020, because of the strong revenue performance at the end of last year.
The Group's cash and cash equivalents at the reporting date amounted to €122,781 thousand. Senior loans amounted to €44,803 thousand, resulting in net senior cash of €77,978 thousand after deduction of cash and cash equivalents. Senior loans declined by €573 thousand compared with 31 December 2020. Together with real estate loans (€6,084 thousand), lease liabilities (€1,128 thousand) and NCI put liabilities (€1,484 thousand), financial liabilities amounted to €53,499 thousand, corresponding to a €762 thousand reduction compared with 31 December 2020 (€54,261 thousand). The decline in senior and real estate loans resulted from the contractual ongoing repayment of principal.
The deferred tax liabilities of €15,978 thousand relate almost entirely to the customer bases, basic technologies and trademarks identified in the course of purchase price allocation for the Palas and IHSE acquisitions (PPA assets) and will be reversed through profit or loss (but with no effect on cash flow) in the future as these PPA assets are amortized. There will be no cash outflows relating thereto.
Group equity at the reporting date was €221,369 thousand, equal to 72.6% of total assets. This is largely the same as the amount reported as of 31 December 2020, when the equity of €223,437 thousand accounted for 72.9% of total assets. For information on treasury shares, please refer to Note 6 in the financial information section.
Effective 27 April 2021, group company IHSE GmbH Asia Pacific Pte Ltd established the new foreign subsidiary IHSE China Co., Ltd., whose registered office is in Guangzhou, China. The new sales company was initiated for the purposes of local market development and customer support in China.

5. IHSE impairment test during the period
BCM Group generally tests goodwill for impairment once a year in accordance with IAS 36. Because of the effects of the coronavirus pandemic, in particular the sharp decline in revenue in the Security Technologies segment in the first quarter of 2021, we identified triggering events indicating the potential impairment of goodwill. For this reason, the goodwill of the underlying "IHSE" cash-generating unit (CGU) was tested for impairment as of 31 March 2021. The test was conducted on the basis of the current financial planning and estimates. Due to the currently unforeseeable global consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, these estimates and judgments are subject to increased uncertainty. No need to recognize impairment losses as of 31 March 2021, was identified in the course of the goodwill impairment test of the "IHSE" CGU.
The assumptions used to determine the recoverability of goodwill are shown in the following table:

During the reporting period, group company Palas Holding GmbH acquired 1,244 shares in Brockhaus Capital Management AG. The background to this was the termination of the employment contract with a senior sales employee. He had acquired the shares in course of his employment at Palas. As a result of the termination of the employment contract, the leaving employee was obliged to transfer the shares to Palas Holding GmbH without compensation. Therefore, on the reporting date, Brockhaus Capital Management AG indirectly through Palas Holding GmbH held 1,244 treasury shares (previous year: -) which are to be recognized at cost as deduction from equity in the consolidated statement of financial position. On the transfer date, the market value per share was €27.20. Since the transfer was free of charge, cost of acquisition amount to €- and therefore there is no corresponding line item in the statement of financial position. The notional value of the treasury shares was €1,244, accounting for 0.0120% of the share capital of €10,386,808. The treasury shares held by the Group confer neither voting rights at annual general meetings nor dividend rights etc.
