Notes

  • Sales revenues above previous year, particularly due to stronger sales contributions from Core Components (also result of the Austrak acquisition in 2018)
  • EBIT burdened by expenses of €37.7 million from the performance program (of which €8.3 million for staff reduction and €29.4 million related to unprofitable activities), adjusted EBIT and EBIT margin slightly below the previous year due to lower EBIT contributions from Customized Modules
  • Net income burdened by effects of performance program and negative result from discontinued operations
  • Free cash flow significantly negative, driven primarily by VL; substantial improvement expected in Q4/2019
  • Value added impacted by expenses from performance program and increase in average capital employed, among other things due to first-time application of IFRS 16 and acquisitions in 2018
  • 1) "Adjusted EBIT" corresponds to EBIT adjusted for one-time expenses from the performance program (expenses in connection with releasing employees, earnings effects from the module unprofitable or disadvantageous activities); see also slide 20

2) Includes the effects from discontinued operations; free cash flow comprises the cash flow from operating activities, investments in intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, and cash receipts and payments associated with companies accounted for using the equity method

  • Equity lower, particularly due to the negative net income and dividend payout; capital increase had positive effect
  • Closing working capital down on 9/30 compared to previous year's figure due to reclassification of sold company CTM (effect of approximately €25 million) to assets held for sale
  • Closing capital employed well above previous year (9/30), largely due to acquisitions in 2018 and application of IFRS 16; counteracted by reclassification of CTM
  • Net financial debt significantly increased especially as a result of negative free cash flow; substantial decrease anticipated in Q4/2019 due to cash inflow from disposals and expected positive free cash flow

Substantial increase in orders received and order backlog

  • Book-to-bill ratio above 1 in all divisions, 1.15 for the Group

Vossloh Group Outlook

General framework

  • Negative one-time effects 2019 from today's perspective of approximately €85 million (primarily booking effects), positive cash effect in 2019 resulting from performance program
  • Sustainable annual savings of €15 million 20 million, majority already in 2020 for the first time
  • Higher visibility of deliveries in China after winning a number of major projects, deliveries will begin in Q4/2019 with the majority in 2020

Outlook for 2019 with regard to the operational business

  • Forecast sales range €900 – 1,000 million: Sales higher than 2018 in the Core Components and Lifecycle Solutions divisions, primarily due to the acquisitions of Austrak and the milling business
  • Adjusted EBIT expected in the lower third of the forecast range of €50 – 60 million among others due to weaker business performance of sold company CTM
  • Value added also expected to be significantly below the negative previous year's value particularly due to one-time expenses from the performance program

Looking ahead to 2020

  • Forecast sales range now €900 – 1,000 million after portfolio streamlining
  • Forecast EBIT range €65 – 80 million, corresponding to significant improvement in EBIT margin of around 2 percentage points

Reconciliation of EBIT to adjusted EBIT

€ mill. 1-9/2019
EBIT (5.8)
Core Components 0.9
Customized Modules 30.5
Lifecycle Solutions 3.8
Holding companies 2.5
Adjusted EBIT 31.9

The adjustment encompasses one-time effects arising from the performance program. These are mainly anticipated in the elements related to reducing the number of employees (costs for employee redundancies) and unprofitable/disadvantageous activities. One-time effects totaled €37.7 million in the first nine months of the fiscal year. The amount of €8.3 million is attributed to the element related to reducing the number of employees (primarily provisions for severance payments). The amount of €29.4 million is attributed to the element related to unprofitable/disadvantageous activities (mainly booking effects to do with the sale of the company CTM).
