Rounding may mean that individual figures given in this report do not add up exactly to the given total and that percentages are not the exact result of the figures presented.
Beginning in the 2H 2019 planned short financial year, the STEMMER IMAGING Group applied the new lease accounting in accordance with IFRS 16 for the first time. This led to changes in the Group's income statement and financial position statement.
Under IFRS 16, all leases must be recognised in the statement of financial position. This affects property leases that were previously classified as "operating leases" and lease agreements for vehicle fleets and operating and office equipment. Right-of-use assets for leased objects and lease liabilities increased as a result of the change in accounting. IFRS 16 has the following material effects on the statement of financial position:
| Right-of-use assets for finance leases | 4,900 |
|---|---|
| Liabilities from finance leases | 4,900 |
Expenses from operating leases were previously included in the income statement under other operating expenses. Depreciation on the right-of-use and interest expenses for lease liabilities has been recognised instead of rental expenses since 1 July 2019.
These changes are summarised in the table below:
| in KEUR | ||
|---|---|---|
| Other operating expenses | 479 |
|---|---|
| Depreciation and impairment of property, plant and equipment | –478 |
| Finance costs | –8 |
As of 30 September 2019, total assets in the STEMMER IMAGING Group of EUR 107.59 million were up on total assets as of 30 June 2019 (EUR 87.45 million). Non-current assets increased to EUR 41.77 million as of 30 September 2019 (30 June 2019: EUR 13.57 million). As well as the acquisition of the INFAIMON Group, this increase also reflects the first-time adoption of the IFRS 16 Standard.
Currents assets decreased to EUR 65.82 million at the end of the reporting period (30 June 2019: EUR 73.88 million). This decline is attributable mostly to the payment of the purchase price for the INFAIMON Group from current cash and cash equivalents.
Equity amounted to EUR 73.54 million as of 30 September 2019 (30 June 2019: EUR 71.62 million). The STEMMER IMAGING Group is very soundly financed with an equity ratio of 68.4 per cent (30 June 2019: 81.9 per cent).
As of 30 September 2019, non-current liabilities assets were up on the figure as of 30 June 2019 at EUR 14.37 million (EUR 0.97 million). A loan, as well as the recognition of non-current lease liabilities (IFRS 16), were responsible for this rise. At the same time, current liabilities of EUR 14.87 million increased to EUR 19.68 million in line with the non-current liabilities.
Cash generated from operating activities in the first quarter of the 2019 planned short financial year amounted to EUR 3.83 million (30 September 2018: EUR 3.10 million).
Investment was far higher than in the previous year at EUR 22.85 million, a result chiefly of purchasing the INFAIMON Group. Cash flow from financing activities amounted to EUR 9.50 million (30 September 2018: EUR 0.00 million). This cash inflow was triggered primarily by a capital market loan from UniCredit Bank AG.
The STEMMER IMAGING Group's revenue in the first three months of the planned short 2019 financial year was EUR 30.49 million, up 29.7 per cent year on year (1 July to 30 September 2018: EUR 23.51 million). This above-average growth was driven firstly by revenue of EUR 4.39 million from the new INFAIMON Group, which joined in July 2019, with the Swedish and French subsidiaries also making a far higher revenue contribution.
The cost of materials ratio improved from 65.3 per cent to 60.9 per cent in the first quarter of the 2019 planned short financial year thanks to intensive project activities and to the increasingly international nature of the Group.
Personnel expenses amounted to EUR 5.65 million for the first three months of the planned short 2019 financial year (1 July to 30 September 2018: EUR 3.95 million). STEMMER IMAGING's personnel expenses ratio thus increased from 16.8 per cent to 18.5 per cent.
Higher other operating expenses of EUR 3.16 million (1 July to 30 September 2018: EUR 2.10 million) reflected factors such as a rise in selling and administrative expenses and inorganic growth. At the same time, the increase was reduced by the first-time adoption of IFRS 16, under which EUR 0.48 million in other operating expenses was relocated to the item depreciation on property, plant and equipment.
At EUR 4.00 million, adjusted operating earnings (EBITDA) were significantly higher than the previous year's figure of EUR 2.29 million in the first quarter of the planned short 2019 financial year (EBITDA margin: 13.1 per cent, EBITDA margin in previous year: 9.7 per cent). The relocation described above on account of the change to accounting under IFRS 16 also had an effect here (EUR 0.48 million). The adjusted figure took into account, inter alia, the payment of the purchase price from the acquisition of ELVITEC S.A.S., which totalled EUR 0.42 million in the reporting period. Adjusted operating earnings (EBIT) amounted to EUR 2.97 million for the first three months (1 July to 30 September 2018: EUR 1.97 million). The EBIT margin therefore rose from 8.4 per cent in the previous year to 9.7 per cent. The adjusted consolidated earnings at the STEMMER IMAGING Group were EUR 2.27 million for the first quarter of the planned short 2019 financial year (1 July to 30 September 2018: EUR 1.46 million).
The Management Board of STEMMER IMAGING AG does not expect any material changes to general economic conditions or the sector environment in comparison to the statements given in the report on expected developments in the 2018/2019 financial report. Please see this report for more details.
The revenue range of EUR 59.0 to 65.0 million (i. e. annualized EUR 118.0 to 130.0 million) forecast for the planned short financial year 2019 is confirmed. The previous profit forecast (EBITDA) has been raised from EUR 5.5 to 7.1 million to EUR 6.0 to 7.5 million (i. e. annualized EUR 12.0 to 15.0 million) as a result of the strong first quarter. Furthermore, the management plans to bring forward future expenses in connection with the acquisition of ELVITEC S.A.S. and further organizational adjustments into the planned short fiscal year. The aim is to report unadjusted results. These one-off expenses are expected to burden the result of the second quarter with approximately EUR 1.5 million.
Beyond that, the Management Board sees no reason to adjust the statements on STEMMER IMAGING AG's expected performance given in this report on account of business development in the first three months of the planned short 2019 financial year or changes in general conditions. The guidance includes all events known at the time of preparing this report which could impact STEMMER IMAGING AG's business performance.
