Course of business, material events

11 88 0 Solutions AG made a positive start to the new 2021 financial year despite the ongoing restrictions prompted by the coronavirus pandemic. Including FAIRRANK GmbH, the company now has 45,523 contract customers.

At operating level, several important projects were implemented at the start of the year that will be vital for success in 2021. Firstly, product management developed a new site for business owners focusing on search engine marketing. The site provides practical tips on how business owners can promote their products and services efficiently with 11 88 0 campaigns on our major partner search engines Google and Bing. The product MEIN SEO, which was developed together with FAIRRANK GmbH and launched in the fourth quarter of 2020 and with which even smaller companies can conduct very efficient search engine marketing, is now supported by an additional information portal.

The Redlight Guide, the specialist portal for the erotic industry, was also completely redesigned. After a significant increase in traffic during the last few months of lockdown, a well-known industry expert is now providing content updates and personal tips to ensure that interest in the portal continues to rise.

In the Directory Assistance segment, the Company gained three new customers in the call centre third-party business from the e-sharing sector for whom 11 88 0 employees are now processing customer service calls.

The independent experts from the Top Employers Institute, the world's leading institute for certifying exceptional employment conditions, named 11 88 0 Solutions AG as a Top Employer for the second successive year in 2021. The Institute assesses and rates all areas of human resources management and corporate culture. This prestigious award will provide significant support for our recruitment efforts.

Financial situation

Results of operations

In the first three months of 2021, the 11 88 0 Group generated consolidated revenues of EUR 14.4 million (previous year: EUR 12.1 million), which represents an increase of EUR 2.3 million (19.0 percent) compared with the prior-year period. Further information on the segment breakdown and changes is provided in the section entitled "Segment report".

The cost of revenues increased by EUR 1.3 million year-on-year, amounting to EUR 8.3 million at the end of the first quarter. This was due to the EUR 0.9 million share attributable to FAIRRANK GmbH and Seitwert GmbH, which were consolidated for the first time at the end of September 2020, and to an increase in variable costs in line with the corresponding revenue generated in connection with the cooperation with FRED 11811-Auskunft, which has been in place since May 2020.

In the first quarter of 2021, the Group incurred selling and distribution costs of EUR 4.1 million (previous year: EUR 3.9 million). The increase is mainly attributable to the share of the two new Group companies mentioned above that were added in September 2020.

General administrative expenses for the first three months amounted to EUR 2.6 million (previous year: EUR 2.1 million). In addition to the share of FAIRRANK GmbH and Seitwert GmbH amounting to EUR 0.2 million, slightly higher consulting costs contributed to the increase in this item.

In the first three months of 2021, consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) totalled EUR 0.9 million, which is a year-on-year improvement of EUR 0.5 million. This improvement results primarily from the significant increase in revenue.

Earnings after taxes remained unchanged year-on-year at EUR -0.7 million.

Net assets and financial position

Capital expenditures

The Group invested EUR 1.2 million in the first quarter of 2021 (previous year: EUR 1.1 million). Total capital expenditures mainly include capitalised sales commission of EUR 1.1 million (previous year: EUR 0.9 million).

Statement of financial position

As of 31 March 2021, total assets amounted to EUR 30.9 million, showing a decrease of EUR 0.5 million compared with 31 December 2020 (31 December 2020: EUR 31.4 million).

On the assets side, current assets fell marginally from EUR 14.1 million as of 31 December 2020 to EUR 14.0 million as of the reporting date. Financial assets measured at fair value (investment funds) totalled EUR 0.6 million as of the reporting date (31 December 2020: EUR 0.6 million). Trade receivables amounting to EUR 9.6 million remain unchanged compared with 31 December 2020.

Non-current assets as of the reporting date decreased by EUR 0.3 million from EUR 17.3 million to EUR 16.9 million compared with 31 December 2020, mainly as a result of the depreciation of capitalised right-of-use assets.

On the liabilities side, current liabilities increased by EUR 0.4 million to EUR 14.6 million (31 December 2020: EUR 14.3 million). This increase is mainly due to a higher level of trade accounts payable as of the reporting date compared with 31 December 2020.

Non-current liabilities totalled EUR 7.2 million as of the reporting date (31 December 2020: EUR 7.4 million). The decrease is mainly attributable to a reduction in non-current lease liabilities as planned.

Equity decreased by EUR 0.7 million to EUR 9.0 million (31 December 2020: EUR 9.8 million) due to the net loss for the period.

Cash flow & financing

Cash flow from operations as of 31 March 2021 amounted to EUR 1.1 million, compared to EUR -0.7 million during the prior-year period.

The cash outflow from investing activities was EUR 1.2 million, up only slightly by EUR 0.1 million compared with the prior-year period. The increase is significantly influenced by higher payments for sales commissions compared with the previous year.

Cash flow from financing activities amounted to EUR -0.4 million in the first three months of the year (previous year: EUR -0.3 million).

Cash holdings

Cash holdings (cash and cash equivalents and current financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss at the end of the period) declined from EUR 3.7 million to EUR 3.2 million compared with 31 December 2020. The decrease in cash holdings by EUR 0.5 million (net cash flow) corresponds to the sum total of the cash flow from operations of EUR 1.1 million, the cash flow from investing activities of EUR -1.2 million and the cash flow from financing activities in the amount of EUR -0.4 million.

Segment report

At EUR 11.0 million, revenues in the Digital segment were up considerably year-on-year (previous year: EUR 9.0 million). This result is due to the excellent sales performance in the prior year and in the first quarter of 2021 and digital revenues of EUR 1.1 million gained as a result of the acquisition of FAIRRANK GmbH. The Digital business accounted for around 77 percent of total revenue in the first quarter of 2021 (previous year: 75 percent). Three-month earnings (EBITDA) were EUR 0.9 million (previous year: EUR 0.4 million).

The Directory Assistance segment accounted for EUR 3.3 million of total revenues (previous year: EUR 3.0 million). Three-month earnings (EBITDA) were EUR 0.0 million (previous year: EUR 0.0 million).

Updated report on expected developments

Consolidated revenues as well as EBITDA and cash holdings are developing in line with expectations.

Significant events after the end of the interim reporting period

The global spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to represent an additional element of uncertainty with regard to the economic impact on the 11 88 0 Solutions AG Group as well. At the time of preparing the financial statements, the Company's business model continues to prove resilient, although the ongoing Covid lockdown may have a more significant impact on the 11 88 0 Solutions Group's operations in the future. On the one hand, customer behaviour with regard to contract fulfilment still cannot be reliably predicted for the coming months; on the other hand, however, opportunities arise for the Company triggered by the increasing digitalisation trend.
