EARNINGS CALL Q&A SESSION

  • › INVESTOR QUESTION: How do you plan to reach EUR 2 Bn. revenues in 2023 if you only plan for EUR 1.4 million on 2021?
  • › INVESTOR QUESTION: During the second half of 2020 the order activities were a bit slower. What was the reason? How do you see the current order situation, what do you see for the second quarter 2021?
  • › INVESTOR QUESTION: On M&A -> What M&A budget have you earmarked for 2021? Which areas do you focus on technologies wise?
  • › INVESTOR QUESTION: Is there a goal for recurring revenues in 2023? › S&T ANSWER: Currently we report software related recurring revenues, we will soon include numbers for hardware related recurring revenues ; By 2030 around 90% should be recurring revenues
    • › S&T ANSWER: We are on path to achieve our targets. EUR 1.4 Billion for 2021 are without any M&A, organically we have to grow to EUR 1.75 Billion by 2023, EUR 250 Mio. will come from acquisitions;
  • › INVESTOR QUESTION: Do you still use short term work? › S&T ANSWER: Only a limited number of employees in one of our subsidiaries. Generally, there are no subsidies or much less subsidies compared to last year.
    • › S&T ANSWER: Second half of 2020 was very much related to Corona. Our customers ordered as little was possible to keep flexibility. Now due the vaccination the situation eased and in Q1 and Q2 we pick up the orders that have not been placed end of last year.
    • › S&T ANSWER: With Iskratel and its 5G competence we acquired a technology highlight. This was technology wise a big step in 2020 which we will profit from in many vertical markets. We see our future targets in Europe (cheapest place to buy technology competences) and focus on IoT, Medical and Software to strengthen our portfolio.

Due to the end of Corona subsidies, we see good opportunities to acquire small companies at particularly favorable conditions. Currently we have several in the pipeline (revenue EUR 5-10 million) with very small purchasing prices.

EARNINGS CALL Q&A SESSION

  • › INVESTOR QUESTION: Should we assume the Free Cashflow growth to be in line with EBITDA?
  • › INVESTOR QUESTION: The IoT as a Service strategy is to lift the gross profit: How do you think about the progress getting there? Do you already have quite feasible number of costumers accepting this? What is the rough projected growth of revenues? Is it linear or more backend loaded?
  • › INVESTOR QUESTION: Did you downsize the past acquisitions? I come to a higher contribution than the EUR 78 million you communicated.

  • › INVESTOR QUESTION: 0.4 times revenue is the price target you named last year. Do you expect prices to increase because the valuations on the stock market are higher now?

  • › INVESTOR QUESTION: Long-term development of Gross Margin compared to EBITDA: IoT aaS with 50% GM but only 15% EBITDA? Operational cost as % of sales?
  • › S&T ANSWER: We are satisfied with the development in 2020, for 2021 we see a development in line with the operational cashflow, there are no specific one off's expected for 2021.
  • › S&T ANSWER: Driven by the market, customers accept the model more and more. We need to open one vertical market after the other. Currently we have around EUR 100 Mio. IoTaaS revenues. We expect a linear growth and Corona is a driver herefore.
  • › S&T ANSWER: We had the big acquisition of Kapsch Carrier Com in 2019, this company was undergoing a deep restructuring. We refocused the portfolio but also closed non-strategic locations such as Algeria or Saudi Arabia where we have on purpose withdrawn from the business. This resulted in da decrease in revenues in these areas.
  • › S&T ANSWER: Right now we see even purchase prices below the 0.4 , companies are struggling for different reason, and despite the recovery of the stock market we see good opportunities for attractive acquisitions of nonlisted companies.
  • › S&T ANSWER: These are management estimates, because 2030 is too far ahead to compare the EBITDA to the Gross Margin, for sure cost will also grow by that time. Main information that we want to give is that we transform our business model, we grow gross margin and EBITDA. This is the same process as we did in the last 10 years: GM from 20% close to 40%, now we plan for 40 to 50%; EBITDA form 4% to 10%, now from 10% to 15%.

According to S&T Annual Report, Note 24, page 143, the leasing payments amounted to TEUR 22,274.
