Business development

This quarterly release as of 30 September 2016 covers the period from 1 January to 30 September 2016 ("nine-month period of 2016" or "9M 2016"). The quarterly reporting period covers the period from 1 July to 30 September 2016 ("Q3 2016" or "third quarter 2016").

At EUR 18.5 million, revenue in the third quarter of 2016 was significantly (25.9%) higher than in the same quarter of the previous year (Q3 2015: EUR 14.7 million), which was characterised by one-time effects. The revenues of EUR 53.7 million for the nine-month period of 2016 are essentially at the same level as in the previous year (EUR 54.2 million) (slight decrease: -0.9%).

Overall, the significant increase in revenues was realized through eCommerce revenues, which continue to grow disproportionately high compared to the same period of the previous year. Revenue in the area of the classic web shop rose by 42.9% in the third quarter 2016compared to the same period of the previous year. In addition, the TV business on the German markets also developed positively compared to the previous quarter. To continue this development in the future, elumeo SE intends to restructure its TV distribution and to sell distribution channels which are no longer profitable, as a consequence of the devaluation of the British pound. elumeo SE expects to complete these measures by the end of financial year 2016.

Revenues in Italy were lower than in the comparable periods of 9M 2015 and Q3 2015. However, and as opposed to the development of revenues of the other sales companies, a slight increase was achieved compared to the previous quarter. In the United Kingdom ("UK"), revenues returned to a stable level compared to the same period of the previous year, which was impacted by one-time effects. Overall, the ongoing pressure on the British pound is still heavily affecting business in the UK.

At 43.5% in the third quarter of 2016, the gross profit margin was at the same level of the previous year's period. Gross profit in Q3 2016 thus increased from EUR 6.4 million in Q3 2015 to EUR 8.0 million. With respect to the nine-month period of 2016, gross profit amounted to EUR 23.8 million, which is -9.5% below the same period of the previous year (EUR 26.3 million) and the gross profit margin decreased from 48.5% to 44.3%.

The key performance measure total segment EBITDA declined to EUR -5.2 million in the nine-month period of 2016 compared to EUR -1.1 million in the same period of the previous year. Adjusted EBITDA for the reporting period 9M 2016 corresponds to the total segment EBITDA.

Overall, total comprehensive income of EUR -2.4 million was generated in the third quarter of 2016 after EUR -5.1 million in Q3 2015 and EUR -8.6 million in 9M 2016 (9M 2015: EUR -3.6 million).

Apart from that, there were no other significant events or transactions that had a material impact on the earnings, assets and financial position of the elumeo Group.

A detailed explanation of the various financial key figures can be found in the following sections.

Earnings, assets and financial position

(1.) Foreign currency translation

The exchange rates for foreign currencies with a material effect on the consolidated interim financial statements are as follows:

Currency Exchange rate
on reporting date
Average exchange rate
EUR 30 Sep 2016 31 Dec 2015 $1$ Jan - 1 Jan -
30 Sep 2016 30 Sep 2015

0.9183
1.2481
0.0254
0.8963
1.3757
0.0266
0.8978

As a consequence of the referendum on the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union ("Brexit") of June 23, 2016, the GBP exchange rate fell against the euro (EUR), the functional currency of the elumeo Group, as well as against the other major currencies USD and THB, which play a major role in production-side procurement.

The translation of income and expenses in the income statement of the foreign subsidiary in the UK with the weighted average exchange rate for the reporting period has an impact on the earnings position. In addition, as of the reporting date, there have been major shifts in the presentation of the earnings, assets and financial position as a result of the translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, in particular also as a consequence of the subsequent measurement of inter-group foreign currency assets and liabilities, using the exchange rate as of the reporting date.

(2.) Revenue

Revenue can be broken down as follows:

At EUR 18.5 million, revenue in the third quarter of 2016 was significantly (25.9%) higher than in the same quarter of the previous year (Q3 2015: EUR 14.7 million), which was characterised by one-time effects. As a result of this increase, the elumeo Group was able to partly compensate for the decline in revenues in the first quarter of 2016. Therefore the total revenues of EUR 53.7 million for the ninemonth period of 2016 are essentially at the same level as in the previous year (EUR 54.2 million) (slight decrease: -0.9%).

Compared to the previous quarter, however, an 18.2% increase was recorded. In the UK, revenue from product sales of EUR 3.2 million in Q3 2016 was up 28.0% compared to EUR 2.5 million in Q3 2015 due to the one-time effects in the same period of the previous year.

(3.) Gross profit from product sales by distribution channel

The gross profit from TV sales in the nine-month period of 2016 amounted to EUR 15.6 million, down from EUR 20.7 million in the same period of the previous year. At EUR 5.2 million in the third quarter of 2016, gross profit was a slight 4.0% higher than in the same period of the previous year (EUR 5.0) million), which was impacted by one-time effects. The gross profit margins in TV sales thus amounted to 47.5% in 9M 2016 and 48.5% in Q3 2016 (9M 2015: 50.2%, Q3 2015: 43.5%). Divided by countries gross profit margins in TV sales in Q3 2016 amounted to 50.6% in Germany, 47.8% in Italy and 37.9% in the UK.

Gross profit from eCommerce sales rose in 9M 2016 by 34.5% from EUR 5.5 million in 9M 2015 to EUR 7.4 million and in Q3 2016 by 92.3% from EUR 1.3 million in Q3 2015 to EUR 2.5 million. Gross profit margin was thus 41.9% in 9M 2016 and 41.6% in Q3 2016 (9M 2015: 42.6%, Q3 2015: 43.3%).

Gross profit from B2B revenue amounted to EUR 0.8 million (gross profit margin: 24.7%) for the ninemonth period of 2016 and EUR 0.3 million in the third quarter of 2016 (gross profit margin: 18.1%).

(4.) Selling expenses

Selling expenses amounted to EUR 7.3 million in Q3 2016 and were thus at the same level as in Q3 2015 (EUR 7.2 million). With respect to the nine-month period of 2016, a slight 4.8% increase from EUR 20.9 million in 9M 2015 to EUR 21.9 million was recorded. Due to the stronger focus on the eCommerce business, there was an increase in other selling expenses, which mainly included costs for online marketing and other costs of operating the web shops. Broadcasting and channel rental costs, on the other hand, decreased.

Other administrative expenses 1,381 1,240 3,782 3,549
Administrative expenses 3.749 2,448 11,624 7,586

At EUR 11.6 million, administrative expenses were 52.6% higher in 9M 2016 and at EUR 3.7 million 54.2% higher in Q3 2016 compared to the same period of the previous year of EUR 7.6 million in 9M 2015 and EUR 2.4 million in Q3 2015. The main reason for the increase in costs, besides increased personnel costs and expenses for equity-settled share-based remuneration under IFRS 2 Sharebased payments were mainly losses from foreign currency translation. Other administrative expenses also include expenses directly attributable to non-Group third parties, which are offset by other operating income in the same amount. Adjusted for foreign currency translation losses, rechargeable expenses and equity-settled share-based remuneration, administrative expenses in the third quarter of 2016 were slightly higher than in the same period of the previous year.

The personnel expenses of the elumeo Group (excluding share-based remuneration) were slightly lower. The increase in administrative personnel expenses was compensated for by a reduction in the personnel expenses in the area of production and sales.

(7.) Other operating income

In 9M 2016, other operating income mainly includes income from recharges of administrative and selling expenses to non-Group third parties.

$(8.)$ Other operating expenses

Other operating expenses in 9M 2015 include transaction costs as well as other IPO and restructuring related expenses and one-off expenses attributable to the relocation of the foreign subsidiary in the UK. There were no comparable expenses in 9M 2016.

In financial year 2015 and in 9M 2016, the Executive Board issued option rights to purchase shares of elumeo SE under the Stock Option Programme 2015 ("SOP 2015") in three tranches in total. The exercising of the option rights is linked to capital market-based performance targets that were not yet met for all three of the tranches as of the reporting date. The potential shares are therefore not to be considered in the calculation of diluted earnings per share. As a result, diluted earnings per share equal basic earnings per share.

(10.) Notes to the segment reporting

The total segment EBITDA of EUR -5.2 million in 9M 2016 was lower than in the same period of the previous year (9M 2015: EUR -1.1 million). In Q3 2016, the loss was reduced significantly to EUR -1.5 million compared to the previous year's quarter of EUR -3.1 million. The special influences that were adjusted for in determining the segment EBITDA comprise expenses from losses from foreign currency translation of EUR -2.6 million in 9M 2016 and EUR -0.7 million in Q3 2016 (9M 2015: EUR -0.3 million, Q3 2015: gains of EUR 0.1) in addition to share-based remuneration. Adjusted EBITDA for the reporting period 9M 2016 corresponds to the total segment EBITDA.

Segment Sales division Germany & Italy

In the segment Sales division Germany & Italy, EUR 40.2 million in revenue was generated in 9M 2016 and EUR 13.6 million in Q3 2016 (9M 2015: EUR 43.6 million, Q3 2015: EUR 12.2 million). This corresponds to approx. 75% of the elumeo Group's total revenue (9M 2015: about 80%). Gross profit in 9M 2016 was EUR 17.1 million and 5.8 million in Q3 2016 (9M 2015: EUR 20.3 million, Q3 2015: EUR 5.4 million), which corresponds to a gross profit margin of 42.5% in 9M 2016 and 42.6% in Q3 2016for the segment Sales division Germany & Italy. Segment EBITDA was EUR -2.5 million in 9M 2016 and EUR -0.6 million in Q3 2016 (9M 2015: EUR 1.9 million, Q3 2015: EUR -0.9 million). This corresponds to a segment EBITDA margin of -6.2% in 9M 2016 and -4.4% in Q3 2016.

Segment Sales division Others (UK, Asia, USA)

Revenue in the segment Sales division Others amounted to EUR 13.6 million in 9M 2016 and EUR 4.9 million in Q3 2016 (9M 2015: EUR 10.6 million, Q3 2015: EUR 2.5 million) and was thus higher than the same period of the previous year, which was impacted by one-time effects in the UK. In addition, revenue from B2B business was allocated to this segment in 9M 2016 and Q3 2016. Segment revenues equate to a share of around 25% of the elumeo Group's total revenue (9M 2015: about 20%). Gross profit amounted to EUR 4.9 million in 9M 2016 and EUR 1.6 million in Q3 2016 (9M 2015: EUR 4.3 million, Q3 2015: EUR 0.5 million). Segment EBITDA totalled EUR -2.2 million in 9M 2016 and EUR -0.7 million in Q3 2016 (9M 2015: EUR -2.8 million, Q3 2015: EUR -2.0 million). The segment EBITDA margin correspondingly amounted to -16.2% in 9M 2016 and -14.3% in Q3 2016.

Segment Group functions & eliminations

To offset the administrative expenses of production, a gross profit of EUR 1.8 million was allocated to the segment in 9M 2016 and EUR 0.6 million in Q3 2016 (9M 2015: EUR 1.7 million, Q3 2015: EUR 0.5 million) and thus not assigned to the segments Sales division Germany & Italy and Sales division Others.

(11.) Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment

In Q3 2016, the elumeo Group primarily made replacement investments.

(12.) Inventories

Inventories increased by 5.2% to EUR 42.5 million as of the reporting date of 30 September 2016 compared to EUR 40.4 million as of 31 December 2015.

On 18 July 2016, the Executive Board issued an additional 128,500 option rights under the SOP 2015 that entitle to the subscription of 128,500 shares of elumeo SE with a proportionate amount of the issued capital of EUR 128,500.00 ("Tranche 2015/III"). 20,000 of these option rights were granted to a Managing Director. The exercise price to be paid is uniformly EUR 6.39.

Taking into account the option rights newly issued in 9M 2016 and the option rights forfeited, the number of option rights issued through the three tranches as of 30 September 2016 amounts to 263,500 in total. The average number of outstanding shares weighted pro rata temporis was 238,868 in 9M 2016. The weighted average remaining maturity of the outstanding option rights up until the expiry date is approximately 9.30 years (31 December 2015: approx. 9.50 years). The average exercise price is EUR 15.72. As of the reporting date, no option rights were exercisable.

Expenses of EUR 0.4 million in total were recognised as equity-settled share-based remuneration for the three tranches in 9M 2016 and EUR 0.2 million in Q3 2016 (9M 2015: EUR 0.1 million and Q3 2015: EUR 0.1 million).

(14.) Deferred taxes

Deferred taxes arise from differences between the carrying amount recognised under IFRS and the carrying amount recognised for tax purposes as well as from tax loss carryforwards to the extent to which future utilisation is expected. Deferred tax assets on 30 September 2016 and 31 December 2015 are attributable to the elimination of intercompany profits included in the inventories.

(15.) Notes to the consolidated statement of cash flows

The consolidated statement of cash flows was prepared in compliance with IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and shows the changes in the level of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of the elumeo Group due to inflows and outflows during the reporting period under review.

The inflows and outflows from operating activities are derived indirectly based on earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT). The inflows and outflows from investing and financing activities are determined directly. Cash and cash equivalents include unrestricted cash and bank balances. Current amount bank overdrafts that are regularly used as short-term financing instruments are included as negative components in the cash and cash equivalents.

In addition to the negative earnings, the cash outflow from operating activities in 9M 2016 includes an increase in inventories in the amount of EUR -2.1 million (30 September 2015: EUR -17.1 million) and in other assets by EUR -2.1 million (30 September 2015: EUR -2.8 million). This was opposed by depreciation and amortization on non-current assets in the amount of EUR +1.3 million (30 September 2015: EUR +0.6 million), non-cash expenses/income and transactions in the amount of EUR +1.6 million (30 September 2015: EUR -0.9 million) and an increase in other liabilities in the amount of EUR +1.4 million (30 September 2015: EUR +1.1 million). Overall, the cash flow from operating activities as of 30 September 2016 was EUR -9.6 million after EUR -24.5 million as of 30 September 2015.

The cash flow from investing activities amounted to EUR -1.0 million as of 30 September 2016 (30 September 2015: EUR -8.7 million). This comprises payments for investments in intangible assets in the amount of EUR -0.1 million (30 September 2015: EUR -0.4 million) and payments for investments in property, plant and equipment in the amount of EUR -0.9 million (30 September 2015: EUR -8.3 million).

The cash flow from financing activities mainly consists of proceeds from an increase in financial debt in the amount of EUR +1.9 million (30 September 2015: EUR +15.3 million) and of payments for the redemption of financial debt in the amount of EUR -2.6 million (30 September 2015: EUR -2.5 million).

Cash and cash equivalents as of the reporting date arise mainly from the positive components of unrestricted bank account balances and cash in the amount of EUR 2.1 million (31 December 2015: EUR 13.6 million). In addition, there were EUR 2.8 million of unused credit lines available as of the reporting date.

Supplementary report

There were no major events after the end of the reporting period up until the publication of this quarterly release, which would require a supplementary report.

Risk and opportunity report

The elumeo Group's risk management system is comprehensively described in the Annual Report 2015. Compared to the risks and opportunities presented herein, the Executive Board currently sees no identifiable additional significant changes.

Forecast report

When it published its ad hoc announcement dated 24 June 2016, elumeo SE revised all of the past forecasts for 2016. Due to the fact that the consequences of the United Kingdom's planned withdrawal from the European Union are still uncertain, no revenues and earnings forecast is possible for the British subsidiary Rocks & Co. Productions Ltd. and thus for the Group as a whole.

The elumeo Group will restructure its business in the UK in light of the developments in the last few months. As a result hereof, elumeo SE expects the Group's EBITDA to be negatively impacted in the fourth quarter of 2016. As a result, elumeo SE expects a decline in revenues in the segment Sales division Others with a substantial reduction in losses in this segment. The segment Sales division Germany & Italy continued its positive revenue trend in the third quarter of 2016 compared to the third quarter of 2015, whereby revenues in Germany were significantly up compared to the previous year's period. The revenues in Italy increased compared to the previous quarter. Management expects a moderate increase in revenues for the segment Sales division Germany & Italy. In the third quarter of 2016, the segment EBITDA also developed positively compared to the same period of the previous year. However no positive segment EBITDA is expected for the total financial year 2016. Negative segment EBITDA is still expected in the segment Group functions & eliminations (no revenue). In the third quarter of 2016, the gross profit margin in the segment Sales division Germany & Italy was below the previous year's figure. The segment Sales division Others, however, showed an increased gross profit margin in the third quarter of 2016 compared to the previous year's figure.

In particular due to the development in the UK and Italy within the first 6 month of 2016, elumeo SE expects only slightly increased Group revenues for the total financial year 2016 compared to the previous year.

At the end of the financial year, a reduction in inventories to the level of 31 December 2015 is planned, which is expected to be supported by a temporary reduction in production. This is expected to have a positive effect on the operating liquidity in the first quarter of 2017 at the latest.
