"SBO has been committed to the Austrian Corporate Governance Code since 2005."
The consolidated management report relates to the IFRS consolidated financial statements according to section 245a UGB (Austrian Commercial Code).
Large regional differences in North America and international markets created a challenging environment for the oil and gas industry and defined SBO's 2019 financial year. While demand in North America was still stable at the beginning of the year, it weakened sharply from mid-year on, due to the high investment discipline of North American oil and gas companies. As the international market environment developed positively, SBO's global positioning helped the company to make good use of the opportunities in these markets and reduce the effects of the weaker North American business. This was reflected in the positive business development seen in 2019: Bookings exceeded sales, EBIT developed solidly and cashflow from operating activities increased strongly.
SBO consistently implemented its sustainable growth strategy in 2019. To further optimize the Group, the two North American subsidiaries Downhole Technology and Resource Well Completion Technologies were
combined under the name "The WellBoss Company" as of 1 October 2019. The newly combined company has great future potential and combines the innovative capability of Resource with the sales strength of Downhole Technology. This also entails the overall reinforcement of international sales of SBO's well completion products. The production sites in England and Mexico were closed in 2019 as planned and capacities were transferred to Austria and Vietnam, among others, from where the international market will continue to be served. Spending for research and development projects were also of fundamental importance for SBO in 2019 in order to supply customers worldwide with innovative technologies. All in all, the company underscored its pioneering role in innovation and strengthened its position in key markets.
"We provide customers worldwide with innovative technologies."
Global economic growth slowed in the past financial year. According to current estimates by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), global economic growth in 2019 was 2.9 %, following 3.6 % in the previous year. Therefore, the global economy developed at the weakest rate observed since the global financial crisis in 2009. Negative factors were above all the trade dispute between the USA and China, increasing trade barriers and growing uncertainty over geopolitical risks. The downturn spread across the regions: Both economic growth in the industrialized nations (1.7 % following 2.2 % in 2018) and the growth rates in emerging markets (3.7 % following 4.5 % in 2018) declined in 2019.3
According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), average global oil demand rose by 0.8 million barrels per day (mb/d) or 0.8 % to 100.1 mb/d in 2019 (2018: 99.3 mb/d). While demand in the non-OECD countries went up marginally by 1.1 mb/d or 2.1 % to 52.5 mb/d (2018: 51.4 mb/d), it slightly declined year-on-year to 47.6 mb/d in the OECD countries (2018: 47.9 mb/d).
Over the full year, demand for crude oil (100.1 mb/d) and production (100.5 mb/d) remained almost in balance. OPEC production in 2019 fell to 35.5 mb/d, while in the non-OPEC countries it rose to 65.0 mb/d. The production cut decided by OPEC states (including partner states) in December 2018 was extended in mid-year. In order to stabilize the oil market and support prices, the OPEC+ alliance agreed on a total production cut of 2.1 mb/d on 6 December 2019.4
The market environment for the oilfield service industry was also adversely affected in 2019 by the trade conflict between China and the USA and fears of a further economic downturn. Market development varied from region to region: While the upward trend on international markets continued, the North American market was characterized by a restrictive spending policy at the exploration and production companies and weakened noticeably. In the course of 2019, the global rig count fell by 9.0 % to 2,043 rigs (December 2018: 2,244 rigs). The main reason for this decline was the US rig count, which fell by 25.4 % to 804 rigs (December 2018: 1,078 rigs). In Canada, the downward trend was also reflected in a 4.3 % decline in the rig count to 135 rigs in December 2019. Internationally, there was an increase of 7.7 % to 1,104 rigs (December 2018: 1,025 rigs), mainly due to the positive development in Europe and the Middle East - both onshore and offshore. While the US rig count decreased continuously throughout the year, the number of international rigs went up, especially in the first half of 2019, and flattened off slightly toward the end of the year.5 The number of drilled but uncompleted wells (DUCs) recorded an increase until mid-2019 and began to decline in the second half of the year due to lower activity.The number of units in the United States reached 7,716 in December 2019 (December 2018: 8,010 units).6
The development of oil prices showed strong volatility over the year. At the end of 2019, prices were up following the partial settlement of the trade dispute between the USA and China. North Sea crude Brent started 2019 at a price of USD 53.80, and closed at USD 66.00 at the end of December, an increase of 22.7 %. The price of North American crude WTI rose from USD 45.41 to USD 61.06 in 2019, up by 34.5 %.7
Global exploration and production (E&P) spending grew by 3 % in 2019, with stronger activity in the international market offsetting the restrictive spending policy in North America. International E&P spending rose by 6 %, while North America, due to the strict cost discipline of the exploration and production companies, recorded a decrease of 6 % caused by a cut in E&P spending of 6 % in the USA and 9 % in Canada.8

SBO can look back on a sound 2019 financial year. The company's wide-ranging strategic positioning proved its worth in a highly dynamic market environment. Demand for SBO's high-quality products and services generated positive results. SBO's well-developed international business compensated to a large extent for the weakness of the North American market.
Sales increased by 6.0 % year-on-year to MEUR 445.3 (2018: MEUR 420.2). Bookings amounted to MEUR 467.2, following MEUR 481.9 in 2018. The order backlog went up to MEUR 123.0 at the end of 2019 (31 December 2018: MEUR 97.7). Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) came to MEUR 108.6 (2018: MEUR 120.0). Profit from operations (EBIT) reached MEUR 60.2 (2018: MEUR 46.9). The previous year's figure includes a non-cash, retroactive restatement of the goodwill of a subsidiary in the amount of MEUR 23.9 as of 31 December 2018.9 The EBITDA margin stood at 24.4 % (2018: 28.6 %), and the EBIT margin at 13.5 % (2018: 11.2 %).
The financial result for 2019 amounted to MEUR minus 12.3 (2018: MEUR minus 14.8). Profit before tax was MEUR 47.9 (2018: MEUR 32.0), while profit after tax was MEUR 32.3 at year-end (2018: MEUR 17.5). Earnings per share were EUR 2.03 (2018: EUR 1.10).
The balance sheet structure of SBO is sound: Shareholders' equity increased to MEUR 370.1 (2018: MEUR 344.8).9 SBO's equity ratio climbed to 42.3 % at the end of 2019 (2018: 39.3 %), while net debt was reduced to MEUR 20.1 (2018: MEUR 62.5). Accordingly, the gearing ratio also fell, from 18.1 % to 5.4 % at year-end 2019. Cash and cash equivalents amounted to MEUR 265.2 (2018: MEUR 241.5). Cashflow from operating activities almost tripled, reaching MEUR 98.1 at year-end (2018: MEUR 33.4). Free cashflow increased from MEUR minus 0.3 in 2018 to MEUR 63.8 in 2019, despite payments for the acquisition of minority interests of MEUR 30.1. Capital expenditure on property, plant and equipment and intangible assets (CAPEX) came to MEUR 31.5 (2018: MEUR 35.9). On 31 December 2019, purchase commitments for property, plant and equipment amounted to MEUR 5.0 (2018: MEUR 2.1).
The Executive Board will propose to the Annual General Meeting on 23 April 2020 to increase the dividend for the 2019 financial year to EUR 1.20 per share (2018: EUR 1.00 per share).
SBO's business is subdivided into the two reportable segments "Advanced Manufacturing & Services" (AMS) and "Oilfield Equipment" (OE):
to downhole circulation tools as well as products for efficient and resource-saving completion of unconventional wells using the Plug-n-Perf und Sliding Sleeve technologies.
The "Advanced Manufacturing & Services" (AMS) segment picked up strongly in 2019 due to the revival of the international market. Compared to the previous year, sales in 2019 rose by 30.5 % to MEUR 223.8 (2018: MEUR 171.5). Profit from operations (EBIT) before non-recurring items increased to MEUR 33.9 (2018: MEUR 22.7).
The "Oilfield Equipment" (OE) segment was affected by the weakness of the North American market. Sales were MEUR 221.5 (2018: MEUR 248.7) and the profit from operations (EBIT) before non-recurring items came to MEUR 28.7 (2018: MEUR 55.2).
Sales
Due to the positive development of the international markets, sales increased by 6.0 %, from MEUR 420.2 in 2018 to MEUR 445.3 in 2019. As in the previous years, the US dollar remained the most important currency by far for the SBO Group. In 2019, 84 % (compared to 84 % in 2018) of sales were generated in US dollars, and approximately 59 % (compared to 57 % in 2018) of expenses were also incurred in US dollars. As the average exchange rate for 2019 of EUR 1 = USD 1.1196 was higher than for 2018, where it had been EUR 1 = USD 1.1815, it had a supporting effect. The US dollar rose against the Euro in the course of the year. The closing price on 31 December 2019 was EUR 1 = USD 1.1234, up by around 2 % from EUR 1 = USD 1.1450 on 31 December 2018.

In the preparation of the annual financial statements 2018 and 2019, the average rates of these years have been used for the consolidated profit and loss statements, and the closing rates as of 31 December for the consolidated balance sheets.
| in MEUR | 2019 | 2018 |
|---|---|---|
| Advanced Manufacturing & Services | 223.8 | 171.5 |
| Oilfield Equipment | 221.5 | 248.7 |
| Total sales | 445.3 | 420.2 |
The "Advanced Manufacturing & Services" segment benefited from the positive international market environment. Since international E&P spending rose again for the first time in 2018, this trend continued throughout 2019. As a result, sales increased significantly in the course of 2019. Sales rose by 30.5 %, from MEUR 171.5 in 2018 to MEUR 223.8 in 2019.
The weakness in the North American market was reflected in the "Oilfield Equipment" segment. Whereas demand in North America was still stable at the beginning of the year, it decreased substantially from mid-year onward, due to the strict spending discipline of North American oil and gas companies. The resulting decline in drilling and completion activities led to a 10.9 % drop in sales to MEUR 221.5 in 2019, down from MEUR 248.7 in 2018.
After totalling MEUR 145.6 in 2018, gross profit in 2019 fell to MEUR 132.6, and with it the gross margin, which went from 34.6 % in 2018 to 29.8 % in 2019. The lower gross margin is mainly a result of the declining demand in sales in the "Oilfield Equipment" segment, which put increased pressure on prices.
The major elements of production costs are expenses for materials and energy, costs of personnel and depreciation of fixed assets.
Selling, general and administrative expenses dropped from MEUR 70.0 in 2018 to MEUR 67.3 in 2019. As a result, they fell from 16.7 % of sales revenues for the year 2018 to 15.1 % for the year 2019.
Selling, general and administrative expenses consist mainly of salary and salary-related expenses, professional fees for operational activities, travel and entertainment costs, communication and insurance expenses.
Other operating expenses amounted to MEUR 12.9 in 2019 (2018: MEUR 16.8). This item includes research and development costs of MEUR 8.8 (2018: MEUR 7.7), as well as exchange losses of MEUR 3.0 (2018: MEUR 8.2).
Other operating income in 2019 totaled MEUR 8.5 (2018: MEUR 15.8) and, apart from exchange gains, consisted of rental income, service charges and income from the sale of fixed assets. The reduction in other operating income is due mainly to lower exchange gains in 2019 of MEUR 6.0, compared to MEUR 11.0 in 2018, and gains relating to the sale of a plot of land in the United States of MEUR 1.9 in 2018.
Due to the reduction of the gross margin, profit from operations before non-recurring items of MEUR 74.6 in 2018 went down to MEUR 60.8, accounting for 13.7 % of sales, following 17.7 % in the previous year.
Adjustments with retrospective effect.
In the 2019 financial year, expenses for non-recurring items totaled MEUR 1.4, with MEUR 0.5 related to impairment of property, plant and equipment, and MEUR 0.9 related to restructuring expenses for production sites in England and Mexico. This contrasts with income of MEUR 0.7 from the sale of property, plant and equipment in connection with restructuring.
Expenses for non-recurring items in the 2018 financial year totaling MEUR 27.7 comprise MEUR 1.5 for restructuring expenses and MEUR 2.4 in impairment of property, plant and equipment relating to the closure of production sites in England and Mexico, and MEUR 23.9 in impairment of goodwill.
Profit from operations increased from MEUR 46.9 in 2018 to MEUR 60.2 in 2019 due to lower expenses from non-recurring items, thus accounting for 13.5 % of sales compared to 11.2 % in the previous year. * In this context we refer to the explanations in Note 4 –
The financial result in 2019 was MEUR minus 12.3, following MEUR minus 14.8 in 2018.
The revaluation of option commitments has led to a gain of MEUR 3.7 for the 2019 financial year. Last year's result contains income from the revaluation of option commitments amounting to MEUR 1.0.
In the past financial year, the net interest result was MEUR minus 5.1 (2018: MEUR minus 8.5). The lower expense resulted from lower accrued interest on option liabilities of MEUR 2.8 in 2019, compared to MEUR 5.8 in 2018. The net interest result also includes the proportionate result of the shares held by the respective management and participation rights in individual subsidiaries, which came to MEUR minus 0.7 in 2019 (2018: MEUR minus 1.0).
Other financial expenses amounting to MEUR 10.9 (2018: MEUR 7.4) include dividend payments to minority shareholders for shares in companies for which put/call option agreements were in place.
Profit before tax for 2019 was MEUR 47.9, following MEUR 32.0 in 2018.
Income taxes in 2019 amounted to MEUR minus 15.6 (2018: MEUR minus 14.5), consisting of current tax expenses of MEUR minus 16.2, resulting from positive earnings contributions and deferred tax income of MEUR 0.6.
* In this context we refer to the explanations in Note 4 – Adjustments with retrospective effect.
Income after tax for 2019 was MEUR 32.3, following MEUR 17.5 in the year before.
Earnings per share reached EUR 2.03 in 2019, following EUR 1.10 in 2018.*
The Executive Board proposes to the Annual General Meeting a dividend of EUR 1.20 per share for 2019, totaling a distribution to shareholders of MEUR 19.2.
Consolidated equity as at 31 December 2019 was MEUR 370.1, following MEUR 344.8 as at 31 December 2018. This rise is due, on the one hand, to profit after tax and, on the other hand, to the increased USD exchange rate, which led to a positive development of the currency translation reserve. The equity ratio went up to 42.3 % compared to 39.3 % in the previous year.
Net debt as at 31 December 2019 was MEUR 20.1, down MEUR 42.4 from the net debt as at 31 December 2018 (MEUR 62.5). The gearing ratio (net debt as a percentage of shareholders' equity) as at 31 December 2019 decreased to 5.4 %, following 18.1 % in the year before.
Cashflow from profit came to MEUR 88.4 in 2019, following MEUR 96.4 in 2018. The key components of this figure in 2019 were profit after tax of MEUR 32.3 (2018: MEUR 17.5) and depreciation and amortization in the amount of MEUR 48.4 (2018: MEUR 73.1).
Net working capital fell from MEUR 222.8 as of 31 December 2018 to MEUR 187.9 as of 31 December 2019. This decrease is mainly due to a significant reduction in trade receivables and inventories. As a result, cashflow from operating activities grew considerably from MEUR 33.4 in the previous year to MEUR 98.1.
Net cash outflows from investment activities totaled MEUR 34.3 (2018: MEUR 33.7) of which MEUR 31.5 (2018: MEUR 35.9) were spent for additions to fixed assets and intangible assets. Thereof, MEUR 19.7 refer to the "Oilfield Equipment" segment, mainly for further expanding the rental fleet of drilling motors and downhole circulation tools, and MEUR 11.8 to the "Advanced Manufacturing & Services" segment, essentially spending for machinery.
* In this context we refer to the explanations in Note 4 – Adjustments with retrospective effect.
The Executive Board has overall responsibility for the risk management of the SBO Group, whereas direct responsibility lies with the managing directors of the operational entities.
Consequently, the system of internal continuous reporting to the corporate headquarters plays a particularly important role in identifying risks at an early stage and implementing countermeasures. Operational entities provide the necessary information by timely monthly reporting to the Executive Board.
The Group has defined uniform standards for the global subsidiaries regarding implementation and documentation of the complete internal control system and, in particular, the financial reporting process. The underlying objective is to avoid risks leading to incomplete or erroneous financial reporting.
Furthermore, internal reports prepared by subsidiaries are checked for plausibility at the corporate headquarters and compared with budgets in order to take appropriate action whenever deviations occur. For this purpose, subsidiaries are required to prepare annual budgets and mid-term planning to be approved by the Executive Board.
In addition, liquidity planning of the subsidiaries is continuously monitored and aligned with the requirements defined by the holding company.
Group controlling monitors subsidiaries' compliance with accounting regulations. Moreover, the annual financial statements of all operational subsidiaries and holding companies are audited by international auditors.
At the Executive Board's regular meetings with local managing directors, current business development and foreseeable risks and opportunities are discussed.
In addition to the International Financial Reporting Standards, internal Group guidelines are in place for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements to ensure uniform presentation by the companies reporting (accounting and disclosure issues). A certified consolidation program that has the necessary auditing and consolidation routines is used for automated preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
Reference is made to Note 41 in the consolidated financial statements.
Reference is made to Note 22 in the consolidated financial statements.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) forecasts global economic growth of 3.3 % in 2020 and 3.4 % in 2021 (following 2.9 % in 2019 and 3.6 % in 2018). The economies of the industrialized countries are expected to grow by 1.6 % in 2020 (after 1.7 % in 2019 and 2.2 % in 2018). According to the IMF, economic growth in the emerging and developing countries is set to increase by 4.4 % in 2020, after 3.7 % in 2019 and 4.5 % in 2018. These projections largely depend on the development of trade relations between the USA and China and the avoidance of further escalation, particularly in the Middle East.10 Apart from that, it remains to be seen what the economic consequences of the corona virus will be, which, starting in China, had a global impact on markets at the beginning of 2020.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) expects a further rise in oil demand in 2020: Demand for oil is projected to increase by 0.9 mb/d to 101.0 mb/d. In the OECD countries, average demand for oil is expected to be 47.8 mb/d, 0.2 mb/d above the level in 2019. In the non-OECD countries, average demand is expected to increase by 0.6 mb/d to a total of 53.1 mb/d. Production in the non-OECD countries is anticipated to grow by 2.0 mb/d to 67.0 mb/d. The OPEC states (including their partner states) are likely to continue to position themselves as regulators of crude oil production, having agreed on 6 December 2019 to institute an overall production cut of 2.1 mb/d.11
On the international markets, experts anticipate the growth trend in the oilfield service industry to continue, although regional differences may still exist. After years of crisis in the oil and gas industry, there is a growing awareness of the need for spending in order to avoid supply bottlenecks in the medium term, provided that the global economy develops reasonably soundly. By contrast, a further decline in spending for oil and gas projects is expected in North America, at least in the short term. US production growth is expected to slow down significantly in 2020 due to rising cost discipline and a resulting decline in activity.
For 2020, renowned banks and analyst firms expect global exploration and production (E&P) spending to grow at a moderate 2 %. The driving force is the international market, where E&P spending should go up by 5 %. For North America, however, analysts expect a decrease of 6 %. In the USA, the decline is anticipated to come to as much as 7 %, whereas some market players have recently started the year with even more pessimistic expectations.12
Despite short-term uncertainties, long-term growth prospects remain intact. SBO expects to see further stimulation of spending behavior on international markets if the economy continues to grow, and this area is exactly where the momentum has to be exploited. For

SBO, it will be crucial to use the company's extensive experience to successfully navigate through the different market cycles. Another focus will be on further efficiency-enhancing measures and on leveraging the synergies created by the combination of the two subsidiaries Downhole Technology and Resource Well Completion Technologies to form "The WellBoss Company".
Overall, SBO is well positioned as a technology and quality leader and is continuously working on the implementation of its sustainable growth strategy. Spending for research and development alongside the solid positioning in demanding niches will ensure SBO's frontrunning position further down the road.
"We expect stimulated spending behavior on international markets."
"Our efficient quality products contribute to global supply security."
Global primary energy demand is expected to increase by 23.8 % by 2040 (2018: 14,314 Mtoe, 2040: 17,723 Mtoe). It is assumed that the share of oil and gas will remain dominant at 52.8 %.13 SBO's products and solutions are used in both oil and gas exploration. This is how the company contributes to global security of supply and the long-term demand for SBO's highquality products is ensured.
Both industry and SBO face the challenge of making the energy supply not only more efficient but also more environmentally friendly. Although the company is not actively involved in drilling or completion, it still feels a responsibility to provide these companies with high quality products in order to avoid inefficiencies and even accidents or ecological damage. Our efficient quality products enable our customers to meet and secure the growing demand for oil and gas in a resource-conserving manner. The guiding principle in all our activities is our "Quality First" principle, which forms the basis for successful, sustainable business.
Our Annual Report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Austrian Sustainability and Diversity Improvement Act (NaDiVeG). In addition, we are committed to the United Nations' "Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development" presented in September 2015. The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are considered to be common focal points of a global sustainable development for the current complex social challenges. We have defined the goals that we can influence and have integrated them into our sustainability management.
13 IEA World Energy Outlook 2019, Stated Policies Scenario.
Our sustainability management focuses on aspects which are concerning essential economic, ecological and social effects of the Company or are decisive for the assessments and decisions of our stakeholders. Therefore, identifying the relevant stakeholders was the first step in our materiality analysis.
SBO defines as stakeholders those individuals and organizations that we are in contact with, and that influence our business development and have an effect on our activities. The analysis and identification of these stakeholders is based on the characteristics and specifics of SBO's business activities, including, among others, the value chain of the oilfield service industry, our special role as a leading niche provider and the global presence of our production sites and branch offices.
We consider our stakeholder value to be a key factor for our corporate management. It is of great concern to us to understand our stakeholders and their motives and to develop sustainable relationships with them. As an internationally operating production company and employer, SBO plays a role in economic, ecological and social terms. The needs of our stakeholders may differ in the areas mentioned above, resulting in the following structure.
We combine our stakeholders according to their interests in the following two main groups: Those who are part of the value chain, that is suppliers, employees and customers. They are particularly interested in operational performance criteria, such as safe work processes, high-quality products and sustainable value-adding business relationships. The second group is primarily interested in our business success and our activities from an ecological and social perspective: the owners and the capital market, the social environment and the media.
Close contact with all stakeholder groups and a partnership-based exchange are very important to us. SBO's relationship work with our stakeholders helps us to identify risks in a timely manner and take proactive countermeasures where necessary to support our reputation and our business success.
In accordance with its business model, SBO has identified key areas of sustainability within the company and has implemented the following additional measures as part of the Sustainability and Diversity Improvement Act: Interviews of managing directors and employees, analysis of discussions with customers, assessment of internal quality and supplier management guidelines, evaluation of training and development programs, and discussions with capital market participants.
At the strategic level, the following topics are crucial:
The prioritization of material topics was based on two criteria: First, their influence on our stakeholders and their decisions regarding SBO, and second, the social, environmental and economic effects of SBO. The result is a two-dimensional materiality matrix that forms the basis of our sustainability strategy. Within this matrix a distinction is made between two categories: Those topics that did not appear recurrently in the evaluation were classified as "low". "High" was the definition for those topics that were identified as relevant in at least two of the sources used. In the evaluation of the interviews conducted and the nonfinancial performance indicators collected, particular attention was paid to the sustainable growth strategy and the concerns explicitly mentioned by stakeholders or discussed in the studies.
Reportable topics, if any, also arose from the compliance organization, in particular the Code of Conduct and the regulations on which it is based. Ultimately, those topics were classified as material which overlapped in the various groups and from which effects on these stakeholders were to be expected. To this end, discussions were held with the Executive Board, Controlling, and Internal Audit, as well as with the operational management units.
This results in twelve relevant fields of action for SBO:

More details about the above fields of action are provided in the following chapters. We look at them from different perspectives and according to different focal points, based on our business strategy. In line with SBO's communication guidelines, we make no forecasts regarding key performance indicators and specific targets.
SBO is a leading provider of products and solutions for the oil and gas industry. In addition to product design and leasing of products to oil and gas companies and the provision of maintenance and repair services, a large part of the company's production output consists of the machining and processing of high-alloy steels and alternative materials such as composites. This is also the basis of the company's management approach. Our focus is on designing our processes to be long-term and state-of-the-art and to offer our employees a fair working environment. This includes ongoing evaluation of energy use at various locations, effective waste and water management, a fair working environment and stringent penalties in the event of violations of the Code of Conduct. In addition, we maintain a zero tolerance policy toward any form of corruption or anti-competitive behavior. In order to continuously optimize our company, we carry out KYC and background checks on an ongoing basis and can thus evaluate and implement improvements in our quality management.
Within the scope of our activities, we aim to contribute to the long-term improvement of economic, societal and environmental problem areas. The SBO Group's sustainable growth management is handled centrally. This is essential, as the dynamics of our company and the market environment require a fast and precise response from the operational management. At the same time, Group management warrants that our growth strategy is far-sighted. By contrast, our approaches to "environment", "social affairs and employees" and "respect for human rights, combating corruption and bribery" are largely decentralized due to the different framework conditions in the respective countries.
In 2018, our Group Executive Board issued a Code of Conduct, which is available to all SBO employees and business partners online and through the compliance organization at all times. In it, the Executive Board of SBO explains its responsibility for employees, customers and other stakeholders and, as a company listed on the Vienna Stock
Exchange, for shareholders and the investment community. The Code of Conduct of SBO requires continuous improvement and expansion of competencies and know-how. These processes are regularly reviewed and optimized both by the Executive Board and the Group Internal Audit department reporting to it. In doing so, our operational management is obliged to regularly check and identify the efficiency and growth potential and to immediately eliminate any risks that may arise. Strict KPI specifications are deliberately avoided.
Supreme quality is key to exploiting opportunities in an international environment, thus ensuring corporate sustainability. This is why SBO's sustainability strategy is based on the "Quality First" principle. The main focus of our Executive Board is on establishing uniform standards, starting with consistent measurement parameters and units, which are installed in all companies so as to identify potential for improvement more easily. Another focus is the efficient use of resources and their optimal disposal. Waste is sold as secondary products wherever possible to avoid producing it. Regarding employees, we create programs proactively to keep our team at the highest possible level of training and retain them in the long-term.
In the risk report, which is part of the consolidated financial statements, risks for the company are presented comprehensively. At this point we only deal with risks in connection with sustainable corporate management. All risks have arisen from our own business activities and not from our business relationships, products or services. The risks have been discussed by evaluating the non-financial performance indicators and the qualitative explanations provided in the areas of production, products and suppliers:
Risks that are regularly identified and documented in order to use them as an indicator for strategic improvements are as follows:
Compliance and anti-corruption regulations: At SBO, strict internal rules and regulations define binding ethical conduct throughout the Group. Non-compliance with these rules could cause serious economic drawbacks and harm our reputation. We support our employees worldwide by providing training measures to further ingrain ethical behavior and ensure complete compliance with our regulations. In particular, we focus geographically on countries at risk of corruption, which have only a weak legal framework for preventing corruption.
Data privacy and trade secrets: Our business model as a leading technology company conducting innovative research and development activities is subject to particularly high protection requirements. This protection of trade secrets includes confidential treatment of research and development data, our know-how, data such as confidential business figures, customer data, data of our employees or plans and budgets. SBO maintains a data protection regime that is based on the regulations established by the European Union (EU General Data Protection Regulation / EU GDPR).
The risks identified have been evaluated internally and incorporated into our work procedures and manuals. Implementation of the measures was checked in regular audits. In the 2019 financial year, we focused on numerous topics, such as the disposal of waste water, water consumption (leakage) and waste generated. Also, we specifically examined employee turnover at individual Group companies. The audit was conducted using written and oral questions posed to the company management as well as on-site audits by the internal audit department. The audit findings were subsequently communicated to the operational Group management for control purposes. No risks relevant to reporting were identified.
Our corporate strategy is clearly focused on sustainable growth. Our goal is a long-term, solid development of SBO. In order to achieve this, we are taking a consistent approach. We seize all reasonable market opportunities to grow organically, through research and development and through strategic acquisitions. However, our industry is exposed to strong cycles. We therefore manage our activities responsibly and with great foresight. This approach enables us to maintain and continuously expand our sound market position.
We are continuously developing our business areas and regional network and are improving the market penetration of our products worldwide. SBO operates its own branch offices in 11 countries to provide local customer support. In 2019, we expanded the sites that recorded particularly high demand by internally relocating machine capacity.
In Saudi Arabia, we expanded and restructured our presence. SBO now also operates locally under the SBO umbrella brand. In the Well Completion business segment, we are actively exploiting new potentials and synergies for future growth and have improved our positioning in this area by combining our subsidiaries to form "The WellBoss Company". Our Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) center in the United States was the basis for successfully establishing our know-how in 3D metal printing technology and recorded high demand.
Since 2016, SBO has been certified for the "Aerospace" sector. With EN 9100:2009 certification we are expanding our field of activity by supplying the "Aerospace" industry with special parts made of stainless steel. First sales in this area were achieved last year.
Our innovations make sure that SBO customers are always one step ahead. In order to expand our role as front runner, we consistently pursue research and development (R&D) activities and invest heavily in this area. With state-of-the-art technologies, SBO offers customers and the market cutting-edge solutions that promote our growth while being sustainable.
True to the guiding principle of "Quality First", we develop, together with our innovative team, more efficient and thus more resource-saving products. Our emphasis is on precise drilling with our products reducing for example the need for frequent round trips of the drillstring, resulting in an overall cost reduction for our customers as well as a reduction of potential risk for the enviroment.
As a global market leader, we continued to move ahead with our innovations in 2019:
most plugs currently available on the market and consists of only a few components, thus increasing operational safety. The more compact design also means that less material has to be dissolved.
Those and many other innovations, which are under development in our worldwide network, are the basis for actively working on our quality leadership.
Targeted acquisitions are the third pillar of our growth strategy. Wherever promising opportunities arise in our niches, we acquire innovative companies, combining numerous successful subsidiaries under the umbrella of SBO. We are constantly screening the market for companies that could be a meaningful addition to our capabilities in a business area. In general, we see ourselves as niche provider in the high-tech sector. Acquisitions must suit our needs: We are looking for profitable companies that add new technologies and solutions to our business.
We use the findings gained in recent years to identify, analyze and gradually eliminate potential weaknesses in our environmental strategy. To this end, we are consistently working on improvements and have set ourselves the goal of further reducing waste, energy and water consumption. SBO attaches great importance to selling waste as secondary products so as to actively promote local and global recycling management.
Our environmental measures are adapted to site-specific conditions. In 2019, for example, we strengthened our recycling management at our Houston site by using waste materials such as glass fiber chips for other composite products. Waste that cannot be processed as secondary products, was increasingly compressed to reduce the volume of waste in the long-term. At other sites, we reduced the volume of truck transports, increased the use of the public grid to generate electricity to eliminate generators and replaced outdated lighting, heating and cooling systems.
Our guiding principle "Quality First" is our top priority worldwide and also an elementary component of quality management at SBO, as our customers expect durable products that can withstand the harsh conditions of their activities. As a quality and technology leader, we are constantly working on their reliability and performance as well as on the improvement of our production processes.
High quality standards in production and for our products are an essential part of our strategy. For this reason, each of our products is specified on the basis of clearly defined characteristics and is then inspected continuously. Each production step is recorded in a quality control chart and confirmed by employees in charge. This is how we ensure the highest possible quality of our products, which represents a decisive competitive advantage and provides our customers with security and trust in the company.
SBO is the world's technological market leader for directional drilling products. State-ofthe-art "Measurement While Drilling" (MWD) and "Logging While Drilling" (LWD) technology, is applied to develop reservoirs located even at depths of 15 km with utmost precision. This technology achieves a high production rate with only one mother wellbore sidetracking over a large number of horizontal wells. MWD and LWD components are manufactured in a high-precision process in which material-adapted and precise machining, accuracy and quality assurance are crucial factors. Even the smallest deviations or hairline cracks can cause considerable damage during application, up to material breakage involving total failure of the drillstring.
Our drilling motors are extremely reliable and powerful. Their low failure frequency minimizes the risk of a drillstring being stuck and equipment being lost in the ground. In combination with other SBO high-performance components, they are designed to generate high penetration rates, particularly in very hard environments or environments impaired by circulation losses. The main benefits for operators are higher drilling speeds, a time-efficient drilling process and faster mill-out of insulation equipment in well completion applications. The drillstring components are removed from the ground after drilling and prepared for reuse or disposed of professionally and thoroughly after their life cycle has expired.
Our underground circulation tools are used to clean or seal boreholes during drilling, as required, reducing the risk of drilling fluid pressure fluctuations. In rare cases, overpressure and the associated uncontrolled leakage of drilling fluid at the entry of the well (referred to as blow-out) can cause severe accidents. Our reliable, easy-to-use tools offer our customers time, safety and cost advantages.
Our quality management is integrated in the complete product life cycle. This begins in the manufacturing process and ends in our service and repair shops, which are located in all major hubs of the oilfield service industry. We document and analyze complaints and optimize the products and processes concerned later on. Our machines meet the latest standards and are regularly measured against them.
Essential quality standards have been established at our production sites. Regular quality tests guarantee their correct implementation. Many of our worldwide locations work according to the leading industry standards API Spec Q1, 7-1 and/or ISO 9001 and are audited accordingly at regular intervals. At our Ternitz site, we also have obtained certification according to EN ISO 14001 (environmental management).
We have partly automated or digitalized work steps in the areas of quality management as well as product and process control in production. As an example, we use modern software solutions for specific areas in order to automate processes that require intensive planning and are prone to errors. This saves time, reduces costs and leads to a significant increase in overall efficiency. Personnel resources can also be allocated more efficiently in the long-term.
Our suppliers must meet the defined quality standards of SBO in order to be allowed to work with us. We evaluate our suppliers at regular intervals with regard to the materials supplied and their certifications. In case of critical suppliers, we carry out assessments of the suppliers on site, first article inspection or an analysis of the origin of the product in question. If a supplier does not meet our high standards, we will terminate the business relationship in case of doubt.
The production of our products is an energy-intensive process. SBO obtains most of its energy, mainly electricity, from public power grids. We strive to reduce our energy consumption through ongoing efficiency improvements, to make the best possible use of the resources applied and to optimize our production processes in terms of energy consumption. The aim is to gradually reduce SBO's specific CO2 emissions.
At our largest production site in Ternitz we operate a photovoltaic system with a total output of 720 kWp (kilowatt peak). Part of our electricity demand in production can therefore be covered with environmentally friendly, renewable energy and contribute to reducing CO2 emissions.
Total energy consumption in production in 2019 fell to 12,825.0 gigajoules (GJ) in 2019, a decrease of 11.8 % compared to the previous year (2018: 14,532.8 GJ). Calculated carbon dioxide emissions fell to 13,288.3 tonnes (2018: 14,869.2 tonnes). Therefore, we were able to sustainably reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions through targeted energy-saving measures and the closure of production sites in England and Mexico. Production capacities were maintained by relocating to existing production sites.

Water is one of the most valuable resources in our world. Therefore, SBO pays great attention at all locations to the economical, efficient and careful use of this resource. The main objectives of our water management are the reduction of water consumption, efficient use of water resources and appropriate wastewater treatment. As water is both an essential coolant in the machining of stainless steels and a cleaning agent for tools in the borehole, we use circulation water instead of process water for cooling machines at some production sites.
In recent years, SBO has taken numerous measures to structurally reduce its water consumption. Compared to the year 2015, which is not shown here, considerable improvements have been achieved, especially at the site in Austria. In the coming years, the plan is to convert additional machines from continuous to circulating water, which should bring about further savings.
In 2019, SBO used 89,947.7 cbm of water worldwide (2018: 69,074.6 cbm). Some sites source the water supply simultaneously from industrial water and public water pipelines, with the main focus on industrial water. As a result, the overall relation shifts as activity is growing. The 30.2 % rise in water consumption is due to increased output at highproduction sites. In addition, water consumption (cooling water) varies from machine to machine and changes in water consumption may occur due to different capacity utilization.

When developing and selecting materials, including, in particular stainless steels, SBO pays attention to the reduction of pollutant-containing raw materials. As a result, production rejects are largely free from pollutants and their disposal is environmentally safe.
We always order materials close to the limit specifications, such as shape and size, therefore requiring less material, avoiding unnecessary production waste, and reducing our ecological footprint as transport volumes are kept low.
At SBO, a sound input-output ratio is achieved in most manufacturing processes. In order to minimize production waste, we sell a large portion of metal chips from the production process as valuable raw material for steel production. As a result, they remain in the value chain and do not constitute waste for disposal. Waste that cannot be reused is disposed of at all locations in accordance with the latest environmental standards. Depending on the location, lubricants such as production oils are collected during oil separation in ongoing production, filtered and reintroduced in the production cycle. Continuously increasing the recycling rate is part of the environmental management at SBO.
In 2019, 3,811.5 tonnes of total waste were generated across the Group (2018: 4,091.5 tonnes). This included 580.9 tonnes of hazardous waste, representing a share of only 15.2 %. In addition to metal waste from production that is classified as hazardous under the Basel Convention, hazardous waste also includes contaminated cleaning water from tools used in drilling operations. Total waste fell slightly due to the closure of production sites in England and Mexico. At some sites, construction measures (expansions) resulted in a slight increase in waste generation.

Our employees are a cornerstone of SBO's sustainable success and guarantee top-notch quality in production. We support our experienced and well-trained team throughout their careers at SBO. An attractive working environment and appealing bonus models bring new specialists on board. At our site in Ternitz, we have implemented a specific apprenticeship training program for young people to become the skilled workers of tomorrow. Using employee retention measures, we keep our experts with their knowledge and competence in the company over the long-term, even in the cyclical environment of our industry.
We appreciate our motivated team and build on mutual respect, trust and professionalism as our core values. The sound basis of communication between our employees and management is decisive for long-term cooperation. We have installed employee representations at all locations where our employees wish to be represented.
We respect the fundamental right to freedom of association in our worldwide branch offices and, where established, maintain good relations with the works council and the trade unions.
In the recruiting process, we make sure to find the most suitable person for the position in question, regardless of gender and cultural background. In 2019, we recruited a total of 477 new employees. The closure of our sites in England and Mexico led to a reduction in the effective number of employees compared with the reporting date as of 31 December (from 1,646 in 2018 to 1,535 in 2019).
The gender distribution among the newly hired employees was 42 women and 435 men. In general, men are traditionally more strongly represented than women in technical professions. In our industry, this effect is even more pronounced. At SBO, the overall percentage of women was 11.9 % at the end of the 2019 financial year, with white-collar employees accounting for 22.5 % and blue-collar workers (including apprentices) for 6.6 %.

Our company offers flexible working time models worldwide depending on the specific job.
It goes without saying that we comply with local working time restrictions and regulations. Full-time and part-time employment models are offered in central work areas. In 2019, 1.9 % of our employees worked part-time (2018: 1.5 %). In production, our local teams work in shifts. This is where we seek to find solutions and models that react flexibly and quickly to the current market situation while taking into account the life environments of our employees. This helps to retain our highly qualified core team even in economically challenging times and to keep the company on its course of growth.

Performance-related remuneration is an important pillar in attracting and retaining the best specialists for our company. This is why we attach great importance to sound remuneration. Depending on the success of the company, our employees receive performance-related variable remuneration in addition to their regular pay. At management level, the managing directors of our subsidiaries may acquire shares in their respective companies. In this way, they can participate directly in their success and act as entrepreneurs with great personal commitment. The purpose of such measures is to strengthen motivation and create attractive conditions for our global team.
We not only invest financially in our employees, but also provide them with ongoing support and pay attention to a corporate culture that ensures a productive, innovative working environment. At our site in Ternitz, we train the skilled workers of tomorrow under our apprentice program, which we have developed specifically for the tasks at SBO. SBO has repeatedly received awards for this commitment to training.
Our human resources planning deliberately has a long-term orientation in order to retain skilled workers. We offer our experts a wide range of opportunities for further training. In addition, mandatory training courses are held regularly. Both young and experienced employees can actively contribute their ideas to the further development of our offerings.
In 2019, the focus of training was on operational topics. At 55 %, the main emphasis was on technical education and further training. In addition, in-depth training was provided in the areas of health and safety (35 %), compliance (5 %) and applied IT (5 %) in internal and external events. The Training & Qualification segment included training courses for the new "Aerospace" sector. In total, training hours increased by 37 % to 24,260 hours, and each employee spent 15.8 hours on internal and external training (excluding onboarding programs). In the area of compliance, a new training guideline was introduced as a further essential step in the context of the education and further training of our team.

Even in times of high capacity utilization, we ensure that our dedicated team maintains a healthy work-life balance and are committed to the standards of the Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series (OHSAS). We have introduced a number of measures for healthy and efficient employees. These include site-specific health training courses as well as first aid courses for medical care in emergencies. At some sites, we offer access to fitness centers, or have set up separate fitness rooms.
Safety at the workplace is a top priority at SBO. We have established strict internal safety guidelines and compliance with them is regularly monitored. They consist of clearly defined work processes and responsibilities, path markings and stringent instructions for the use of equipment and machinery. Employees are continuously updated on the applicable safety guidelines and local legal provisions on occupational safety.
The aim is to avoid accidents and eliminate sources of accidents as far as possible. Depending on local conditions, we have appropriate checklists and emergency plans in place, which were extended and updated in 2019. Where necessary and possible, we regularly optimize our processes to ensure even greater safety. We encourage our employees to play an active role and take action against potentially unsafe working practices.
Thanks to the consistent implementation of these measures, the number of work-related accidents is low throughout the Group. The lost time injury rate (LTIR) in 2019 was 11.9 accidents per one million working hours (2018: 11.0 accidents per one million working hours). The severity of accidents (SA) was 5.4 lost workdays per incident and declining (2018: 17.9 lost workdays per incident). We actively strive to keep the number of incidents low. All incidents are documented and reviewed for potential for improvement.

CONCEPT FOR RESPECTING HUMAN RIGHTS AND FOR COMBATING CORRUPTION AND BRIBERY
SBO conducts its business operations with the highest respect for the catalogue of internationally recognized human rights, such as the International Charter of Human Rights. We are committed to the principles of equal opportunity and equal treatment in working life, regardless of skin color, gender, origin, nationality, ethnic or political affiliation, religion, age, sexual orientation, language or physical or psychological impairments. We regard diversity as an important factor for success and promote diversity in our industry. A detailed description of SBO's diversity concept can be found in the Corporate Governance Report.
Executives and employees are obliged to take appropriate action to detect, prevent and mitigate potential and actual violations of human rights. Our Code of Conduct confirms that we are committed to ethical conduct and integrity and that we consistently enforce such conduct worldwide, regardless of local conditions. No human rights violations were reported in the SBO Group during the period under review.
Corruption damages fair competition and constitutes an abuse of entrusted power. SBO prohibits without exception any form of fraudulent conduct and imposes harsh sanctions on such behavior. Group Management is committed to actively combating corruption and bribery and to complying with relevant laws and regulations. Any behavior that is contrary to the principles of business ethics and prudent business conduct will be sanctioned. These requirements are laid down in strict Group-wide guidelines and are subject to zero tolerance for both employees and business partners.
Compliance with these strict prohibitions in day-to-day business is constantly monitored. Training and professional contact persons ensure that our employees strictly follow the SBO guidelines. Our business partners are also made aware of this issue. In the period under review, no risks relating to corruption or bribery were identified at SBO.
Internally, we maintain fair and open communication and a conscious culture of error to make sure that any undesirable developments or problems can be identified at an early stage. We encourage our employees to speak openly about any misconduct, incidents and situations that may not comply with the Code of Conduct and also provide anonymous communication channels such as a separate online platform established for this purpose. In the 2019 financial year, there was one report on the whistleblowing platform.
Legally compliant and ethical conduct is essential to our reputation and a key factor for successful business development. SBO's Compliance Management ensures that the understanding of correct corporate governance is implemented uniformly throughout the Group and that potential misconduct is identified and avoided at an early stage.
In the 2019 financial year, no official measures were taken against SBO with regard to possible corruption offences nor were legal claims asserted for breach of regulations.
"SBO has been committed to the Austrian Corporate Governance Code since 2005."
SCHOELLER-BLECKMANN OILFIELD EQUIPMENT Aktiengesellschaft (SBO) has committed itself to complying with the Austrian Corporate Governance Code since 2005 and has consistently implemented its rules. The Austrian Corporate Governance Code is a set of rules meeting international standards for responsible management and governance of companies. By observing the Austrian Governance Code, SBO makes a contribution to strengthening trust in Austrian companies and the Austrian capital market.
The Austrian Corporate Governance Code, as amended in January 2018 and applicable to this report, is available at the website of the Austrian Working Group for Corporate Governance www.corporate-governance.at. The current version of the Austrian Corporate Governance Code as amended in January 2020 was not published until after the 2019 financial year and is therefore applicable only to the 2020 financial year.
SBO complies with the Austrian Corporate Governance Code. The rules of the Code are subdivided into three categories:
First: L-Rules (Legal Requirements): They describe mandatory legal requirements that must be complied with by law.
Second: C-Rules (Comply or Explain): This category contains customary international provisions; non-compliance must be explained.
Third: R-Rules (Recommendation): These rules are recommendations only; non compliance requires neither disclosure nor explanation.
SBO complies fully with mandatory legal requirements (L-Rules).
Regarding the 2019 financial year, SBO had to prepare both a consolidated and a non-consolidated Corporate Governance Report. Pursuant to Art. 267b in conjunction with Art. 251 (3) UGB (Austrian Business Code), these reports may be merged into one report. Therefore, this report contains the data required pursuant to Art. 243c UGB as regards both the parent company (SBO) and the subsidiaries of SBO included in consolidation. The diversity concept according to Art. 243c (2)(3) UGB is described in subchapter "Diversity concept".
SBO largely complies with the C-Rules. Deviations are explained as follows (according to the guidelines under Annex 2b to the Austrian Corporate Governance Code):
The Rule stipulates, inter alia, that contracts with members of the Executive Board shall contain provisions to the effect that companies may reclaim variable remuneration components if it becomes clear that the member concerned has received them on the basis of false data. The provision to reclaim variable remuneration components from members of the Executive Board does not exist currently. New contracts and prolongations of contracts will, however, contain provisions in line with C-Rule 27 of the Austrian Corporate Governance Code, if it becomes clear that payment has been made based on evidently false data ("Clawback").
The remuneration of 6,000 SBO shares per year agreed with Gerald Grohmann, Chief Executive Officer, is subject to a two-year restriction on disposal and encumbrance (instead of at least three years). In the opinion of the Supervisory Board, the objectives of C-Rule 28 are also achieved with a two-year retention period.
The Rule provides, inter alia, that a committee of the Supervisory Board shall be authorized to take decisions in urgent cases. As the Supervisory Board of SBO has only a limited number of members and took decisions promptly in urgent cases in the past, SBO has not set up such a committee. As it is always the full Supervisory Board that deals with such matters, this ensures that the expertise of all members of the Supervisory Board is taken into account in its decisions in urgent cases as well.
In line with the Austrian Corporate Governance Code, the function of the Nomination Committee is exercised by the joint Nomination and Remuneration Committee, instead of a Nomination Committee established separately from the Remuneration Committee. As the Executive Board consists of only two members and the Nomination and Remuneration Committee is responsible for all other issues related to the Executive Board, this appears to be appropriate for efficiency purposes.
The rules of procedure for the Executive Board govern the composition and working method of the Executive Board, cooperation between the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board, the procedure in the event of conflicts of interest, information and reporting duties of the Executive Board and the approval requirements of the Supervisory Board, which also extend to the material business transactions of the major subsidiaries. The Executive Board consists of two members, whose allocation of responsibilities is regulated as described below. Fundamental decisions are the responsibility of the full Executive Board. These include, in particular, the specification of the company's objectives and definition of the corporate strategy. As a rule, the Executive Board holds meetings at least once a week to provide each other with information and adopt resolutions. The members of the Executive Board are obliged to keep each other informed of all important events and business transactions.
In the 2019 financial year the Executive Board was composed of the following members:
| YEAR OF BIRTH | DATE OF FIRST APPOINTMENT | END OF CURRENT TERM OF OFFICE |
||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gerald Grohmann Chief Executive Officer |
1953 | 3 October 2001 | 31 December 2021 | |
| Klaus Mader | ||||
| Chief Financial Officer | 1970 | 1 October 2015 | 30 September 2023 |
In the 2019 financial year the members of the Executive Board did not hold any Group-external supervisory board mandates or comparable functions in Austria or abroad.
Allocation of responsibilities and cooperation of the members of the Executive Board are governed by the rules of procedure for the Executive Board.
The areas of responsibility allocated to the members of the Executive Board have been laid down by the Supervisory Board as follows, notwithstanding the collective responsibility of the Executive Board:
The Executive Board has not set up any committees.
| Gerald Grohmann | Strategy, marketing, technology and public relations |
|---|---|
| Klaus Mader | Finance and accounting, human resources and legal matters |
As representatives of the SBO parent company, the members of the Executive Board perform a supervisory function at all subsidiaries included in consolidation (see consolidated financial statements), similar to that of a supervisory board in Austrian stock corporations, but without management or executive function.
The remuneration system for the Executive Board takes into account both the situation in the market and a performance-related component. Remuneration consists of fixed and variable components. Variable components are always paid in the following year, as the achievement of objectives can be determined only at the end of the year. Variable components are performance-related and depend on the degree to which the objectives defined for the financial year have been achieved.
Pursuant to the employment contracts of the Executive Board members, the variable remuneration component is limited to 65 % of the total remuneration.
Variable components are subject to individual provisions. They are composed of the following elements: development of long-term corporate growth, profit, cashflow, equity and tied-up capital. Fulfillment of these performance criteria shall be determined based on the annual financial statements or depends on the results achieved. In addition, non-financial criteria for determining the variable components are in place. They are defined subject to specific medium- and long-term corporate goals, such as in the area of research and development or corporate development.
No share option program is in place for the members of the Executive Board of SBO or the managing directors of its subsidiaries; in particular no stock option program or program for the preferential transfer of stocks within the meaning of C-Rule 28 is in place. Starting with the 2014 financial year, an agreement on share-based remuneration was concluded with Gerald Grohmann, CEO, which provides for a limited annual transfer of 6,000 SBO shares each. The aforementioned shares are subject to disposal and encumbrance restrictions for Mr. Grohmann, valid for a period of two years from the respective transfer date, but at the latest until termination of the employment agreement.
The rules for severance payments follow the legal requirements. Upon leaving the company, the Chief Executive Officer will additionally receive a voluntary severance benefit of 30,000 shares. No future burdens related to pension fund contributions or any other entitlements of the members of the Executive Board arise for the Company after termination of their employment contracts.
The members of the Executive Board receive each a company car, for private use also, and are entitled to an accident and invalidity insurance. All members of the Executive Board are covered by a D&O insurance (Directors & Officers insurance) taken out by, and at the expense of, the company.
For the 2019 financial year, the following remuneration was paid to the members of the Executive Board:
| IN TEUR | FIXED REMUNERATION | VARIABLE REMUNERATION | TOTAL |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gerald Grohmann* Chief Executive Officer |
665 | 534 | 1,199 |
| Klaus Mader | |||
| Chief Financial Officer | 452 | 251 | 703 |
* The above table does not include the aforementioned share-based remuneration for Gerald Grohmann
Remuneration of the managing directors of the subsidiaries of SBO included in consolidation takes into account both the situation in the market and a performance-related component. Remuneration consists of fixed and variable components. Variable components are performance-related and depend on the degree to which the objectives defined for the financial year have been achieved.
Variable components are subject to individual provisions. They are composed of the following elements: development of long-term corporate growth, profit, cashflow, equity and tied-up capital. Fulfillment of these performance-related criteria shall be determined based on the annual financial statements or depends on the results achieved. In addition, non-financial criteria for determining the variable components are in place. They are defined subject to specific mediumand long-term corporate goals, such as in the area of research and development or corporate development.
Furthermore, the managing directors of the subsidiaries of the SBO Group included in consolidation may acquire shares and participation rights in the respective subsidiary company up to a certain limit.
In the 2019 financial year, the Supervisory Board was composed of six members elected by the Annual General Meeting:
| YEAR OF BIRTH | DATE OF FIRST APPOINTMENT | END OF CURRENT TERM OF OFFICE |
||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Norbert Zimmermann | ||||
| Chairman | 1947 | 10 April 1995 | 2022 | |

According to the articles of association of SBO, each year one member of the Supervisory Board withdraws from the Supervisory Board at the end of the Annual General Meeting, safeguarding effective control by the shareholders. The withdrawing member can be reelected immediately.
Other seats on supervisory boards or comparable functions in Austrian or foreign listed companies are disclosed as follows:
| COMPANY | FUNCTION | |
|---|---|---|
| Norbert Zimmermann | - | - |
| Brigitte Ederer | Marinomed Biotech AG | Member of the Board of Directors as Non-Executive Director |

| Karl Schleinzer | - | - |
| Wolfram Littich | - | - |
| Sonja Zimmermann | Bank für Tirol und Vorarlberg Aktiengesellschaft | Member of the Board of Directors as Non-Executive Director |
No member of the Supervisory Board holds a management or supervisory function in one of the subsidiaries of the SBO Group included in consolidation.
In exercising its functions, in particular monitoring and strategic support of the Executive Board, the Supervisory Board discusses the situation and targets of the Company and adopts resolutions.
The rules of procedure for the Supervisory Board govern in detail the composition, working method and tasks of the Supervisory Board, the procedure in conflicts of interest, and all committees (Audit Committee, Nomination and Remuneration Committee) and their responsibilities.
The Supervisory Board held five meetings in the period under review. Moreover, the Executive Board submitted several oral and written reports to the Supervisory Board to inform about the development of business and the situation of the Company and the Group companies. The main focus of discussions was on the strategic orientation and development of the Group and on major business transactions and measures taken.
All members of the Supervisory Board personally attended more than half of the meetings of the Supervisory Board in the period under review.
The Supervisory Board appoints the members of the Audit Committee and the Nomination and Remuneration Committee from among its members.
No separate Strategy Committee nor a committee to take decisions in urgent cases has been set up; pertinent matters are dealt with by the Supervisory Board collectively.
The committees are elected for the terms of office of their members. Each committee elects a chairman and deputy chairman from among its members.
The Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing and preparing the adoption of the annual financial statements, the proposal for the distribution of profits and the management report. The Audit Committee also reviews the consolidated financial statements. In particular, it is also responsible for monitoring the accounting process, the effectiveness of the internal control and risk management system, the independence and activities of the auditor (group auditor) and for approving non-audit services. It carries out the procedure for selecting the auditor (group auditor), taking into account the appropriateness of the fee, and makes a recommendation to the Supervisory Board for the auditor's appointment.
Members: Norbert Zimmermann (Chairman) Wolfram Littich Sonja Zimmermann
The Audit Committee held two meetings in the year under review, at which topics relating in particular to the annual financial statements and consolidated financial statements, the internal control system and risk management were discussed.
The effectiveness of the risk management system was assessed by an independent audit firm. The auditor's report on the assessment of the effectiveness of risk management was discussed by the Audit Committee.
The Nomination and Remuneration Committee deals with matters relating to the remuneration of the members of the Executive Board and of the Supervisory Board and the terms and conditions of the employment contracts concluded with members of the Executive Board. Furthermore, it submits to the Supervisory Board proposals to fill vacant positions on the Executive Board and deals with issues of succession planning. Unless allocated mandatorily to the responsibilities of the full Supervisory Board, the Nomination and Compensation Committee is responsible for the following matters:
b. establishment of the principles for the remuneration of members of the Executive Board (remuneration policy) as well as the determination of the specific remuneration components to be granted, including the underlying targets
c. preparation of the remuneration report on the remuneration of the members of the Executive Board
In the year under review, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee held one meeting.
Regarding independence criteria in accordance with C-Rule 53, the Supervisory Board follows the guidelines contained in Annex 1 of the Austrian Corporate Governance Code. According to the criteria, which are to be applied in line with Annex 1 of the Austrian Corporate Governance Code for determination of the independence according to C-Rule 53, the following Supervisory Board members are deemed as independent:
Therefore, the Supervisory Board is an independent body.
Brigitte Ederer and Wolfram Littich represent the interests of small shareholders on the Supervisory Board within the meaning of C-Rule 54 in conjunction with the criteria of independence defined by the Supervisory Board.
In the past year, no agreements requiring approval were in effect with members of the Supervisory Board or companies in which a member of the Supervisory Board held a considerable economic interest. The legal services provided by law firm Schleinzer & Partner of which Karl Schleinzer is a partner, have been provided based on an approval from the past. The scope of services of Supervisory Board member Karl Schleinzer as legal attorney for the Company in the 2019 financial year is deemed not significant pursuant to Annex 1 of the Austrian Corporate Governance Code (for details see Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements).
At the 2018 Annual General Meeting a remuneration program was resolved providing for an annual fixed remuneration of TEUR 20 (Chairman TEUR 30), an attendance fee of TEUR 1 per member and attended meeting and a variable remuneration of 0.25 ‰ each of the profit after tax according to the annual financial statements.
For the 2018 financial year the following remuneration was resolved and paid:
| in EUR | FIXED REMUNERATION | VARIABLE REMUNERATION | TOTAL |
|---|---|---|---|
| Norbert Zimmermann | |||
| Chairman | 35,000 | 10,348 | 45,348 |
| Peter Pichler | |||
| Deputy Chairman (until 24 April 2018) | 7,667 | 3,449 | 11,116 |
| Brigitte Ederer Deputy Chairwoman (from 24 April 2018) |
25,000 | 10,348 | 35,348 |

| Sonja Zimmermann (from 24 April 2018) |
17,333 | 6,898 | 24,231 |
No loans or advances were paid to the members of the Supervisory Board. All members of the Supervisory Board are covered by a D&O insurance (Directors & Officers insurance) taken out by, and at the expense of, SBO.
In the 2019 financial year, the share of men and women on the Executive Board and Supervisory Board was as follows:
| EXECUTIVE BOARD AND SUPERVISORY BOARD* |
2019 | 2018 | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GENDER | GENDER | |||||||
| WOMEN | MEN | WOMEN | MEN | |||||
| absolute | % | absolute | % | absolute | % | absolute | % | |
| Supervisory Board | 2 | 33 % | 4 | 67 % | 2 | 33 % | 4 | 67 % |
| Executive Board | 0 | 0 % | 2 | 100 % | 0 | 0 % | 2 | 100 % |
* Total number of each as at 31 December
Since 2018, the Act on the Equal Status of Women and Men on the Supervisory Board (GFMA-G) has stipulated a mandatory gender quota of at least 30 % for new Supervisory Board members, rounded to full numbers of persons, provided that the Supervisory Board consists of at least six members (shareholder representatives) and at least 20 percent of the workforce are female or male employees. Since Brigitte Ederer was re-appointed as member of the Supervisory Board of the Company, the quota was maintained in accordance with the law, as two of the total of six seats on the Supervisory Board are occupied by women. Hence, the objectives described in the chapter "Diversity Concept" were maintained as well.
SBO has a very lean corporate structure with equally lean hierarchies. Accordingly, we do not use the term "executive employees" and refrain from reporting in this regard. It would be distorting to mention only the managing directors of the subsidiaries.
The cyclical industry environment of the oilfield service industry is a constant challenge for the management and supervisory bodies of SBO and of the subsidiaries included in consolidation. Massive periodic volatilities in demand for the products of the Company require extensive managerial expertise and an understanding of the forces prevailing in this sector. Additionally, the international positioning of the Company calls for a cautious approach to the cultural situation in the various markets.
Regarding the composition of the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board of the Company, the Company does not apply a diversity concept within the meaning of Section 243c (2) (3) UGB (Austrian Commercial Code), as the sustained implementation of such a concept would lead to significant restrictions for a company operating in the oilfield service industry. Instead, the two qualitative criteria of "key competence" and "experience", their maintenance and expansion, have been defined as material for filling positions in management and supervisory bodies. All individuals in the Supervisory Board are renowned experts in their respective fields, sharing their expertise on the meetings of the Supervisory Board. It ranges from pertinent experience in the industry, crosssectoral supervisory and/or managerial experience to qualifications in specific subject matters. Additionally, shareholders request a minimum of interpersonal homogeneity and loyalty ensuring a systematic pursuit of SBO's sustainable growth strategy. This request extends far beyond prescribing explicit gender quotas. Nevertheless, SBO shares the view that when different generations, genders and cultures meet, this is a source of further corporate development. For many years, it has been daily practice at SBO to make judgments on equal terms and outside of hierarchical structures. This is why new appointments for positions are guided both by professional qualifications and human diversity.
In the 2019 financial year, the diversity concept was reflected across the entire SBO Group as follows: When hiring new employees, attention was paid to maintaining a diversified and high-performing team. The share of newly hired staff above the age of 50 was 13 %.
| AGE | |||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| < 30 | 30 – 50 | > 50 | Total | ||||||
| absolute | % | absolute | % | absolute | % | absolute | % | ||
| Men | 161 | 37 % | 220 | 51 % | 54 | 12 % | 435 | 91 % | |
| Women | 16 | 38 % | 20 | 48 % | 6 | 14 % | 42 | 9 % | |
| Total | 177 | 37 % | 240 | 50 % | 60 | 13 % | 477 |
* New hires including permanent hires and hires terminated within the period shown and personnel taken on from other SBO companies

| Total | 187 | 37 % | 278 | 54 % | 47 | 9 % | 512 |
* New hires including permanent hires and hires terminated within the period shown and personnel taken on from other SBO companies
This distribution could not be achieved for the gender quota (women/men), as the share of female employees is traditionally rather low in technical professions. Moreover, it seems that the oilfield service industry in general is less attractive to women. The Group-wide share of women among new hires in 2019 was 9 %, and the share of women in the overall workforce at the end of the year came to 12 %.

The low attractiveness of the industry to women is clearly reflected in terms of the respective activity. Women accounted for 23 % of white-collar workers and only 7 % of blue-collar workers (including apprentices). When compared year on year, the proportion of women was therefore comparable to the previous year.

Regarding the appointment of international directors, professional and corporate culture aspects play a key role. All managing directors at SBO's subsidiaries look back on many years of experience in the industry. As far as possible, second-level management and controlling positions are held predominantly by nationals of the countries where the sites are located.

The following changes occurred in the scope of consolidation during 2019:
The Company has exercised the protective clause in accordance with Section 265 (3) UGB.
The accounting policies applied in the previous year generally remain unchanged, with the exception of the following:
The Group applied the following new or amended standards and interpretations for the first time in the 2019 financial year. However, these standards and interpretations impacted the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2019 only if indicated by the word 'yes' in the table below:
| STANDARDS/ INTERPRETATIONS |

1 To be applied in the EU in reporting periods starting on or after the indicated date.
In the reporting period 2019 the newly adopted standard IFRS 16 was applied by SBO for the first time. The new standard specifies how an IFRS reporter will recognize, measure, present, and disclose leases. The standard provides a single lessee accounting model, requiring lessees to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases. The first-time application of IFRS 16 based on the modified retrospective approach by recognizing the cumulative effect from the transition as an adjustment to the opening balance of the reporting period, without restating comparative information. The production and distribution locations are largely owned by SBO, therefore the first-time application of the new standard did not result in material impacts on SBO's consolidated financial statements. Lease liabilities were recognized using the present value of the remaining lease payments, and the right-of-use assets at an amount equal to the recognized lease liabilities considering prepayments made. For discounting the lease payments a weighted average incremental borrowing rate of 4.23 % was applied.
SBO applied the recognition exemption for leases with a term of 12 months or less and for leases with a remaining term of maximum 12 months as of the date of first time application, and for leases concerining low-value assets. In addition, SBO selected the option for not including any direct initial costs when measuring the right-of-use asset. SBO applied the practical expedient to apply IFRS 16 for all contracts entered into before 1 January 2019 which were defined as leases under IAS 17 and IFRIC 4. Furthermore, SBO chose to use hindsight in determining the term of leases. Regarding vehicle leases SBO applied a portfolio approach for similar contracts.
Lease assets are reported within property, plant and equipment, the corresponding lease liabilities are reported as separate line items within current and non-current liabilities. The recognition of assets and liabilities for the existing operating leases for office, production and storage buildings as well for vehicles led to an increase in property, plant and equipment by TEUR 7,999 as of 1 January 2019. An amount of TEUR 726 relating to finance leases and recognized land use rights were reclassified within property, plant and equipment.
The adjustment effect from IFRS 16 as of 1 January 2020 is as follows:
| in TEUR | 31.12.2018 | Adjustment IFRS 16 | 01.01.2019 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Property, plant and equipment | 144,703 | 7,999 | 152,702 |
| Other receivables and other assets | 6,385 | -138 | 6,247 |
| Long-term receivables and assets | 9,754 | -195 | 9,559 |
| Total assets* | 877,962 | 7,666 | 885,628 |
| Lease liabilities – current | 33 | 2,522 | 2,555 |
| Lease liabilities – non-current | 14 | 5,144 | 5,158 |
| Total liabilities and equity* | 877,962 | 7,666 | 885,628 |
* Restated – see Note 4 – Adjustments with retrospective effect.
The amortization of right-of-use assets according to IFRS 16 replaced the recognition of rental expenses which improved EBITDA by TEUR 3,158 and EBIT by TEUR 87. The cashflow from operating activities improved by TEUR 2,960 due to the application of IFRS 16.
Existing minimum lease commitments as of 31 December 2018 can be reconciled to lease liabilities as of 1 January 2019 as follows:
| in TEUR | |
|---|---|
| Minimum lease commitments as of 31 December 2018 | 10,817 |
| Exercising extension options | 96 |
| Low value leases | -657 |
| Short-term leases | -504 |
| Lease agreements not yet commenced | -891 |
| Other adjustments | 16 |
| Total undiscounted minimum lease payments | 8,877 |
| Discounting | -1,211 |
| Subtotal discounted minimum lease payments | 7,666 |
| Finance leases | 47 |
| Lease liability according to IFRS 16 as of 1 January 2019 | 7,713 |
For further details regarding leases see Note 21.
The following new or revised standards and interpretations which have been published but not adopted by the EU, or which are not yet mandatory, were not applied early in the 2019 financial year. They will be applied in the future reporting period for which application is mandatory:

² This standard is not yet mandatory in the EU and was not applied early. The date indicated is the effective date as determined by the IASB.
The reporting date of all companies included in the consolidated financial statements is 31 December.
Non-controlling interests in the Group are recognized at the proportionate share of the remeasured identifiable net assets at the acquisition date. Subsequently, an appropriate share of net profit/loss after tax and OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME is allocated to non-controlling interests. Thus, a loss at the respective subsidiary could lead to a negative balance. Changes in the equity interest in a subsidiary without loss of control are recognized as equity transactions.
Refer to Note 20 for details on prior years' option agreements.
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in euros, the functional and reporting currency of the parent company. Each company within the Group sets its own functional currency. The items included in the financial statements of each company are measured using this functional currency.
Foreign currency transactions are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the transaction date. Monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate as at the reporting date. Currency differences are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they occur.
When preparing the consolidated financial statements, the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries which are prepared using their functional currency are translated into euros using the modified closing rate method:
Currencies developed as follows:
| RATE ON REPORTING DATE | AVERAGE ANNUAL RATE | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 EUR = | 31.12.2019 | 31.12.2018 | 2019 | 2018 | |
| USD | 1.1234 | 1.1450 | 1.1196 | 1.1815 | |
| GBP | 0.8508 | 0.8945 | 0.8773 | 0.8848 | |

| VND | 26,206.0 | 26,737.6 | 26,226.5 | 27,330.7 |
Currency translation differences from the inclusion of financial statements of subsidiaries in the consolidated financial statements are recorded in the consolidated financial statements within equity under the item CURRENCY TRANSLATION RESERVE; the change in the current year is presented under OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
Assets and liabilities with a residual term of up to one year are classified as current, those with a residual term of more than one year as non-current. Residual terms are determined as at the reporting date.
Operating assets and liabilities, such as trade receivables and trade payables, are always classified as current even if their maturity is more than 12 months after the reporting date as this corresponds to the usual business cycle.
Transactions of financial instruments are recognized at the settlement date.
The consolidated balance sheet includes the following financial instruments in accordance with IFRS 9:
Categories according to IFRS 9
All cash balances, demand deposits, and short-term extremely-liquid financial investments that can be converted to known amounts of cash and cash equivalents on demand, and which are subject to only insignificant fluctuations in value included under the item CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS, are classified as cash funds. Current investments are non-derivative financial assets not held for trading that are available-for-sale assets with a term of less than three months.
Non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not listed on an active market mainly comprise of TRADE RECEIVABLES and as well as other loans issued and receivables (these loans were granted to the managers of subsidiaries for shares or participation rights, reported within LONG-TERM RECEIVABLES AND ASSETS).
Receivables are recognized at the settlement date at cost and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any allowance for impairment. Gains and losses are recognized to consolidated profit or loss due to amortization under the effective interest method, upon impairment or when a loan or receivable is derecognized.
The Company grants payment terms to its customers at customary business terms, but generally does not require any additional collateral or payment guarantees to secure the amounts due. Occasional customers and customers located in high risk countries from whom the Company obtains confirmed letters of credit are excluded from this policy. Trade receivables that are granted beyond the normal payment terms bear interest at arm's length rates.
SBO regularly evaluates receivables and establishes allowances for doubtful accounts if necessary. These allowances are sufficient to cover the expected default risk; actual defaults result in derecognition of the receivable in question. The decision of whether to account for the default risk by means of allowances or to derecognize the receivable depends on the reliability of the assessment of the risk situation.
Management evaluates the adequacy of the allowances for doubtful accounts using the maturity structure of receivables balances, historical defaults on receivables experienced over the last 5 years (receivables for which legal measures were taken but which could not be collected within 3 years are also considered as default), customer creditworthiness, and changes in payment behaviour.
Financial liabilities comprise in particular trade payables, liabilities to banks, lease liabilities and derivative financial liabilities, with the latter being measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL).
Liabilities are initially recognized at their fair value less transaction costs related to the borrowing and are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses resulting from the use of the effective interest method are recognized in consolidated profit or loss.
In addition, financial liabilities include purchase prices for shares in subsidiaries held by management. The managers are contractually obligated to sell these shares back to the Company when specified events occur and the Company is obligated to repurchase the shares. The repurchase price is based on the amount of the pro-rata equity on the sale date. Pursuant to IAS 32.23, such contracts give rise to a financial liability for the present value of the redemption amount. As the value cannot be determined exactly in advance, the liability is measured using the pro-rata equity at the reporting date, which includes the portion of the income from the current financial year that in turn is recognized in the consolidated profit and loss statement under INTEREST INCOME OR EXPENSE. This current income share is considered representative of the effective interest result.
Additional financial liabilities result from participation rights in subsidiaries granted to management. These participation rights may only be transferred to third parties with the Company's approval and the Company has a call option upon the occurrence of specified events, in which event the redemption amount is based on the subsidiary's net assets as at the exercise date. The current share of income is considered to be representative of the effective interest result which changes the liability accordingly.
The Group uses derivative financial instruments such as currency futures to hedge currency risks. These derivative financial instruments are recognized at fair value at the contract date and are subsequently measured at fair value. Derivative financial instruments are recognized as assets if their fair values are positive and as liabilities if fair values are negative.
The Company uses hedging measures to hedge foreign currency risks from recognized monetary assets and liabilities. While these measures do not satisfy the requirements for hedge accounting, they effectively contribute to the hedging of financial risk in accordance with risk management principles.
Gains and losses from hedges which serve to hedge the exchange risks from intra-Group deliveries in foreign currencies and which do not satisfy the criteria for hedge accounting in accordance with IFRS 9 are not presented separately in profit or loss but rather together with currency gains and losses from deliveries in profit from operations (EBIT). The Company reserves the right to opt also in future to apply the criteria of IAS 39 for hedge accounting.
Regarding option liabilities relating to cancellable non-controlling interests from the prior year see Note 20.
In connection with a business combination in 2010, a foreign currency hedge of the purchase price was concluded between the signing and the closing, which was recognized as a fair value hedge of a fixed off-balance sheet obligation as the underlying. The loss attributable to the secured hedge was recognized as a basis adjustment to the acquired assets and is now recognized in profit or loss in accordance with the recognition of these assets in profit or loss (in line with depreciation over the estimated useful lives).
A summary for the financial instruments in place on 31 December 2019 and 31 December 2018 is shown in Note 35.
Inventories consist of materials and purchased parts in various stages of completion and are recognized at cost or the lower net realisable value at the reporting date. Inventory usage is determined using the first-in, first-out, weighted average price or specific price method. Costs of finished goods include the costs for raw materials, other directly allocable expenses as well as pro-rata overheads. Borrowing costs are not capitalized. Inventory risks arising from slow moving goods or reduced marketability are accounted for through appropriate valuation allowances.
Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are measured at cost less depreciation and amortization. Depreciation/amortization is generally recognized using the straight-line method over the expected useful life of the asset. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
| USEFUL LIFE IN YEARS | |
|---|---|
| Intangible assets: | |
| Software | 4 |
| Technology | 5 –10 |
| Customer base | 5 –10 |
| Non-compete agreements | 5 –10 |
| Trademarks | 10 |
| Property, plant and equipment: | |
| Buildings and improvements | 5 – 50 |
| Technical plant and machinery | 3 –17 |
| Other equipment, operating and office equipment | 2 –10 |
| Right-of-use assets | 3 –10 |
On each reporting date the Company assesses whether there are indications that property, plant and equipment or intangible assets may be impaired. If such indications exist, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company estimates the asset's recoverable amount. Impairment losses on continuing operations are recognized in profit or loss under IMPAIRMENT OF PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT.
An assessment is made at each reporting date whether there are indications that previously recognized impairment losses no longer exist or may have decreased. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset's recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. The reversal is limited to the extent that the asset's carrying amount may not exceed either its recoverable amount or the carrying amount that would have resulted, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.
Borrowing costs are also expensed as incurred unless they are related to a qualifying asset.
Leased assets capitalized according to IFRS 16 are recorded within property, plant and equipment as right-of-use assets. The lease liabilities resulting from the future lease payments are presented in the balance sheet as lease liabilities. Effects from the first-time application of IFRS 16 are disclosed in Note 4, effects relating to the reporting year 2019 are disclosed in Note 21. Interest rates for capitalized leased assets are based on the minimum interest rate for new loans at the inception of each lease or in correspondence with the lessor's implicit rate of return. In the previous year leases qualified as operating leases were expensed in profit and loss.
Goodwill is recognized at cost and subsequently tested for impairment annually as at 31 December. For this purpose, goodwill is assigned to cash generating units and compared to the business units' value in use based on the expected cashflows. Once recognized, an impairment of goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.
Current tax refund claims and tax liabilities for current and previous periods are measured in the amount to be recovered from or paid to the tax authorities. The amount is calculated based on the tax rates and tax laws applicable at the reporting date.
The Company uses the balance sheet liability method prescribed by IAS 12 to recognize deferred taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured based on the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period in which the asset will be realised or the liability settled. If there are losses in the current or previous periods, deferred tax assets are recognized for unused tax loss carryforwards only to the extent that there are substantial indications based on existing mid-term plans that sufficient taxable profits will be available against which the unused tax losses can be utilised. For tax loss carryforwards which do not expire, realisability is based on the next five years.
Current and deferred taxes which relate to items recognized under OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME or directly within equity are not recognized in profit or loss, but rather in OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME or directly in equity.
Government grants are recognized only when there is reasonable assurance that the entity will comply with any conditions attached to the grants and that the grants will be received. Grants relating to costs are recognized as income over the period necessary to match them with the related costs, for which they are intended to compensate, on a systematic basis.
Grants relating to assets are recognized as a deferred income item as soon as all conditions necessary for the receipt of the grant have been satisfied. The deferred income is reversed over the useful life of the respective assets and presented in OTHER OPERATING INCOME in the consolidated profit and loss statement.
In accordance with IAS 37, provisions are recognized when the Company has current legal or constructive obligations as a result of past events and for which payment is probable. Provisions are recognized at the amount determined based on management's best estimate at the reporting date. Provisions are not recorded if they can not be reasonably estimated.
Defined benefit plans concern solely obligations for severance benefits of Austrian companies. Upon termination of employment or normal retirement, employers must make a lump sum payment to the employee if they were employed for three years or more and employment commenced before 1 January 2003. Severance payments range from six to twelve months of salary at the time of separation depending on the length of service. Payments must be made upon normal retirement or termination by the employer, but not upon voluntary departure by the employee. The amount of the provision is calculated on each reporting date using actuarial measurements based on the projected unit credit method with a creditable service period from the beginning of the employment to the time of planned retirement for each employee, and corresponds to the present value of the employee's vested benefit claims at the end of the reporting period. The retirement age used refers to current legal provisions. Expected future salary increases and employee turnover discounts are considered based on medium-term historical experience.
All remeasurements relating to defined benefit plans (actuarial gains and losses) are recognized under OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME, in accordance with IAS 19. Refer to Note 18 for further details on provisions for severance payments.
In accordance with legal requirements for employments subject to Austrian law which commenced after 1 January 2003, the Company must pay 1.53 % of current compensation to an employee benefit fund. Defined contribution pension schemes exist at several Group companies based either on specific legal obligations under national law or based on shop agreements or individual contractual pension agreements. The Group's obligation is limited at paying the contributions to each pension fund when due. There is no legal or constructive obligation to make future payments. All contributions to defined contribution plans are recognized as an expense at the time when employees have provided the services that obligate the Company to make the contribution.
In accordance with Austrian collective work agreements, employees are entitled to jubilee payments depending on their length of service (defined benefit plan). The amounts to be accrued for these provisions are also calculated using the projected unit credit method. The parameters used for the provision for severance pay are also applied when calculating the provision for jubilee payments. Remeasurements (actuarial gains or losses) are recognized in profit or loss.
Performance obligations from the sale of manufactured items and goods are recognized as control is transferred, normally upon delivery to the recipient, and therefore are recognized at a point of time. Performance obligations from service and repair work are recognized when the service has been rendered, which is the delivery of the goods to the customer. Performance obligations resulting from providing on site customer support for the usage of SBO tools are satisfied during the time of staff being on site. As a consequence, revenue is recognized over time.
Individual entities within the SBO Group operate as lessors of oil tools. Rental revenues are recognized based on actual usage by the customer (performance obligations which are satisfied over time). In general, no minimum lease obligations or minimum revenues are stipulated in the agreements. In this context SBO does not hold finance lease agreements.
Interest income is recognized on a pro-rata basis, using the effective interest method.
Pursuant to IAS 38, research costs are recognized in profit or loss when incurred. Development costs are expensed when incurred, if the requirements for capitalization of development costs in accordance with IAS 38 are not fully met. Development costs are recognized in profit or loss in SBO's consolidated financial statements in the period in which they are incurred, because the corresponding recognition criteria were not satisfied.
In 2014 an agreement on share-based payments was entered into with the Chief Executive Officer. The granting requires valid employment. An agreement on the granting of a voluntary severance benefit in the form of SBO shares at the end of employment was also concluded. In the course of extending the Management Board mandate in 2018 this agreement was also extended. As the compensation is and will be settled using SBO shares, the current expense from these agreements is recognized in personnel expense and within equity (refer to Note 33).
When preparing the consolidated annual financial statements under International Financial Reporting Standards, estimates, assumptions, and judgements must be made to a certain extent which impact the amounts presented in the balance sheet, the notes to the financial statements and the profit and loss statement. The amounts actually arising in the future may deviate from the estimates; however, from its current perspective the Management believes that there will not be any material negative impacts on the consolidated financial statements in the near future. The significant estimates and judgements underlying the consolidated annual financial statements are explained below.
Assumptions and discretionary decisions must be made when recognizing and measuring INTANGIBLE ASSETS recognized in the course of business combinations (see Note 9).
Estimates are necessary about the period over which PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT and INTANGIBLE ASSETS can be expected to be used (see Notes 8 and 9). In addition, if indications of impairment of PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT or INTANGIBLE ASSETS are identified, estimates are required when determining the recoverable amount. When evaluating right-of-use assets estimates are required for determining the term of a lease, and extension options, respectively.
An estimate of the value in use is made for the annual impairment test of GOODWILL in which management must estimate the expected future cashflows of the cash generating units and choose an appropriate discount rate (see Note 9).
Deferred tax assets are recognized for unused tax losses to the extent it is probable that taxable income will be available, so that the loss carryforwards can actually be used. When accounting for DEFERRED TAX ASSETS, a significant exercise of judgment by management is required regarding the timing and extent to which future taxable income will be available in order to actually use the temporary differences or loss carryforwards (see Note 11).
Management estimates of pricing and market development are necessary in order to determine carrying amounts when measuring INVENTORIES (see Note 7). As based on the underlying customer contracts there is no need to apply the percentage-of-completion method, estimates regarding services already rendered as well as future costs to be expected for short-term orders are only required to determine potential provisions for onerous contracts.
In addition to evaluations based on historic cash receipts RECEIVABLES require assumptions regarding the probability of default (see Note 5). Besides overdue balances and market risks, also past customer experiences are taken into account. Regarding SALES REVENUES estimations are required for expected returns relating to sales with a right of return (see Note 15) as well as for volume discounts to be granted.
For the recognition of PROVISIONS, management must evaluate the probability of occurrence at the reporting date. Provisions are recognized at the value that corresponds to management's best estimate at the reporting date (see Note 16).
Expenses for defined benefit plans are determined based on actuarial calculations. The actuarial measurement is based on assumptions regarding the discount rates, future wage and salary increases, mortality rates, and employee turnover rates (see Note 18).
Option liabilities relating to cancellable non-controlling interests were measured at fair value at the acquisition date and are subsequently remeasured at fair value on each reporting date. The fair values were determined based on the discounted cashflows, which were derived from the most recent earnings forecast of the companies involved. Until the first date of exercising the option, judgements were necessary when determining future cashflows, the timing of exercising the option, and the choice of an appropriate discount rate (see Note 20).
Liabilities for management's interest in subsidiaries and participation rights are measured using estimates of the service period of the respective individuals in the company and future profitability of the subsidiaries. The Company assumes that the respective share of the subsidiary's annual income essentially corresponds to the effective interest expense (see Note 19).
During 2019 the Austrian Financial Reporting Enforcement Panel (AFREP) carried out a review of SBO's consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2018 and interim consolidated financial statements as of 30 June 2018 and 30 June 2019 according to section 2 paragraph 1 lit 2 Financial Reporting Enforcement Act (RL-KG) (random review). AFREP concluded that a material error occurred relating to the impairment test performed for the cash generating unit Resource Well Completion Technologies Inc. within the "Oilfield Equipment" segment. The disclosure of this error was mandated by a ruling from the Financial Market Authority according to article 5 para 2 first sentence RL-KG. AFREP found that the cashflow projections underlying the impairment test did not comply with the requirements of IAS 36.33(a) in conjunction with IAS 36.34 and IAS 36.38. In detail, AFREP stated that the reflection of risks and uncertainties of the economic environment in the oilfield service industry in the cashflow projections, connected with budgets not being achieved in previous years, was not sufficiently substantiated. Goodwill of the cash generating unit Resource Well Completion Technologies Inc. amounted to TEUR 23,707 as of 31 December 2018. Based on the finding of AFREP SBO has corrected the impairment test as of 31 December 2018. The adjusted cashflow projections for the cash generating unit Resource Well Completion Technologies Inc. resulted due to average fx rates used in an impairment need of TEUR 23,853 as of 31 Dezember 2018 recognized in the income statement in impairment of goodwill. The error was corrected according to IAS 8.42 with retrospective effect by adjusting the relevant figures in the previous year's financial statements. As a consequence, also interim financial statements of the year 2019 are affected. When announcing interim financial statements for 2020 comparative figures of the previous year will be adjusted accordingly.

In the business year 2019 the two cash generating units Resource Well Completion Technologies Inc. and Downhole Technology, LLC were combined within the "Oilfield Equipment" segment under the name The WellBoss Company. As a consequence, the goodwills allocated to each of the two cash generating units were reallocated and fully allocated to The WellBoss Company in the segment "Oilfield Equipment".
All cash generating units are measured based on the value in use by discounting expected future cashflows using the weighted average cost of capital (WACC). The WACC was determined based on the current market data for comparable companies in the same industry segment and adjusted for expected specific inflation rates for each country. The detailed planning period covers five years (previous year: five years), and the cashflows are based on budgeting by management. For deriving cashflows in the terminal value, a fixed growth rate of 1 % (previous year: 1 %) was assumed for all cash generating units.
The following discount rates were applied as at 31 December 2019 and 31 December 2018:

Cashflows were determined based on revenue forecasts and planned capital expenditures. The value in use of a cash generating unit is impacted the most by sales revenues. Forecasts of sales and cashflows take into account the cyclicality of the industry derived from historical experience on the one hand, and long-term developments of the sales market on the other. Sales forecasts for all cash generating units are based on the expected business development in the oilfield service industry. This is derived from expected drilling activities, the geographic sales markets, and company-specific developments. In addition, margin forecasts are derived from the expected product mix and cost developments based on expected developments of materials prices and planned capital expenditures. The estimated personnel development (based on planned headcount, required qualifications of employees needed and expected personnel cost based on the current economic situation) are also taken into account.
None of the impairment tests performed led to an impairment requirement. The change in the carrying amount of goodwill of all cash-generating units in 2019 resulted from foreign currency translation.
Sensitivity analyses were carried out for all cash generating units. As the value in use reacts to changes in the assumptions regarding cashflows and the discount factors in particular, the analyses took into account an isolated increase in the discount factor by one percentage point as well as a reduction of cashflows by 10 %, as deemed possible by management. This analysis resulted in no impairment loss on any cash generating unit.
Regarding the impairment 2018 of the cash generating unit Resource Well Completion Technologies Inc. see Note 4 – 18. Adjustments with retrospective effect, correction of accounting related estimates and errors.
OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS mainly comprise technology, customer base, trademarks, and rights from non-compete agreements relating to circulation tools from a business combination in 2010 (carrying amount as at 31 December 2019: TEUR 3,507; previous year: TEUR 8,029).

(now The WellBoss Company, Inc.) in 2014, acquired technologies (carrying amount as at 31 December 2019: TEUR 1,221; previous year: TEUR 1,766) and the acquired customer base (carrying amount as at 31 December 2019: TEUR 0; previous year: TEUR 1,050) were capitalized. The technology can be used over a period of seven years from the acquisition date, the customer base will be amortized over a useful life of five years. Furthermore, rights from non-compete agreements were capitalized for a term of at least five years (carrying amount as at 31 December 2019: TEUR 0; previous year: TEUR 539).
As part of the initial recognition of Downhole Technology LLC (now The WellBoss Company, LLC) in 2016, acquired technologies (carrying amount as at 31 December 2019: TEUR 14,285; previous year: TEUR 16,258) and trademarks (carrying amount as at 31 December 2019: TEUR 1,191; previous year: TEUR 1,355) were capitalized with a useful life of ten years. In addition, rights from non-compete agreements (carrying amount as at 31 December 2019: TEUR 2,191; previous year: TEUR 3,105) were recognized which will be amortized over a period of six years.

OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS also include usage rights for IT software.
This item consists primarily of interest-bearing loans, which have been granted to the management of companies included in the scope of consolidation for the acquisition of shares or profit participation rights in these companies (also see Note 19). The Company has only a limited credit risk as the shares must be returned to the Company if the loan conditions are not satisfied. In general, partial repayments are scheduled, but the full settlement of the loan has to be made when returning the shares and participation rights, and therefore at the end of the employment at the latest. The change in the business year 2019 relates to the repayment of loans which happened mainly due to returning shares and participation rights.

There are outside basis differences (i.e. between the tax base of equity interests and the pro-rata equity) at subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statements, in particular from retained earnings and losses not covered by equity. As at 31 December 2019, timing differences amounted to TEUR 83,889 (previous year: TEUR 78,824), because distributions or disposals of equity investments of individual companies would generally be taxable. However, as the Group does not plan on dividends from or disposals of these companies in the foreseeable future, in accordance with IAS 12.39, no deferred taxes were recognized. Likewise, no withholding taxes were recognized as at 31 December 2019 due to the lack of planned distributions (previous year: TEUR 0).
In the course of the closure of a production site in England allocated to the Segment "Advanced Manufacturing & Services" which was initiated in 2018 property with a carrying amount of TEUR 3,227 was reclassified to assets held for sale.

|---|---|---|
| Severance payments | 4,656 | 3,970 |
| Jubilee payments | 2,206 | 1,785 |
| Total | 6,862 | 5,755 |
The actuarial assumptions used for calculating the provisions of severance and jubilee payments were as follows:
| 2019 | 2018 | |
|---|---|---|
| Discount rate | 0.90 % | 1.80 % |
| Salary increases | 3.50 % | 3.50 % |
| Employee turnover rate | 0.0 % – 15.0 % | 0.0 % – 15.0 % |
Provisions were calculated using the Pagler & Pagler's AVÖ 2018-P (previous year: AVÖ 2018-P) mortality tables. Remeasurements of provisions for severance payments (actuarial gains or losses) are recognized in OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME, in accordance with IAS 19.
No contributions were made to separately managed funds for the obligations presented.
The provision for severance payments developed as follows:
| in TEUR | 2019 | 2018 |
|---|---|---|
| Present value of severance obligation as at 1 January | 3,970 | 3,639 |
| Current service cost | 169 | 157 |
| Interest cost | 71 | 62 |
| Total expenses for severance payments | 240 | 219 |

| Present value of severance benefit obligation as at 31 December | 4,656 | 3,970 |
The expenses shown in the table are presented in the consolidated profit and loss statement under personnel expenses of each functional area (see Note 25).
Remeasurements of provisions for severance payments recognized in OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME in accordance with IAS 19 are comprised of the following:
| in TEUR | 2019 | 2018 |
|---|---|---|
| Remeasurement of obligations | ||
| from changes to financial assumptions | 432 | 49 |
| from historical experience | 369 | 155 |
| Total | 801 | 204 |
The average term of the severance obligations as at 31 December 2019 was 11.3 years (previous year: 11.4 years).
The effects on the obligations resulting from changes in significant actuarial assumptions are presented in the following sensitivity analysis. One significant influencing factor was changed in each case, while the remaining inputs were held constant. In reality, however, it is rather unlikely that these factors do not correlate. The changed obligation was determined analogously to the actual obligation, using the projected unit credit method in accordance with IAS 19.
| SEVERANCE PAYMENTS | PRESENT VALUE OF OBLIGATION (DBO) 31.12.2019 |

The effective interest expense recognized for management interests and participation rights is reported under INTEREST EXPENSES and INTEREST INCOME.
In the course of business combinations, the Company has concluded option agreements with non-controlling shareholders on the later acquisition of such non-controlling interests. The purchase price of the option liabilities from cancellable non-controlling interests in the previous year depended on the results achieved by the company in question.
At the acquisition date these option liabilities were recognized in OTHER LIABILITIES, and referred to the discounted amount of the expected payment from these cancellable options based on the current corporate planning at that date, because the Group had an unconditional payment obligation. From a Group's perspective, 100 % of the shares in these companies are thus recognized due to this option commitment. Consequently, 100 % of the results of the respective subsidiaries are attributed to the owners of the parent company.
Option liabilities were subsequently measured using the discounted expected payment amount as at the reporting date based on current corporate planning. They were discounted using a risk-adequate interest rate for the respective term of the commitment. The interest cost from current discounting is presented under INTEREST EXPENSES. Gains and losses due to changes of the discounted expected payment amount are recognized in GAINS/LOSSES FROM REMEASUREMENT OF OPTION LIABILITIES.
In the course of two business combinations the Company granted the non-controlling shareholders the right to offer their shares to the Company, and at the same time, the Company committed to purchase the offered shares. In addition, the Company acquired the right to purchase the shares of the non-controlling shareholders, who have committed themselves to transfer their shares to the Company in such case (put and call option).
SBO has exercised its rights to acquire the minority interests of 32.3 % in Downhole Technology (now The WellBoss Company, LLC) with its share in the company reaching 100.0 % as of 1 April 2019. A purchase price of TUSD 33,742 (TEUR 30,138) was paid for 6.6 % of the shares in the fiscal year 2019. There is a legal dispute with a former minority member regarding the termination of his employment contract in 2018, which may have an effect on the purchase price to be paid for the acquisition of the remaining 25.7 % of the interests. Any payment is delayed until the dispute is fully and finally resolved. In the consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2019, provision was made for the purchase price on the basis of the contractually agreed mechanism to be applied under normal circumstances. Depending on the outcome of the proceedings, the purchase price to be paid could be determined subject to equity of the company, hence be significantly lower than the amount provided for. At present, the outcome of the proceedings cannot be predicted with any certainty. In the cashflow statement a portion of the paid purchase price for 6.6 % of shares relating to the amount which was estimated and recognized, respectively, as of acquisition date 1 April 2016 is included in the cashflow of investing activities. The portion which exceeded the amount which was estimated as of acquisition date and which was expensed in the income statement in later periods is included in the cashflow from operating activities.
Gains from revaluation of the reporting period 2019 result from a difference between actual results and the estimation of results as of 31 December 2018, and are reported in the income statement within INCOME/EXPENSE FROM REVALUATION OF OPTION COMMITMENTS. Of that an amount of TEUR 758 refers to realized gains.
In 2018 the option agreement regarding the acquisition of the remaining 33 % in shares of Resource Well Completion Technologies Inc. was exercised by SBO. The purchase price of TCAD 3,960 (TEUR 2,588) was fully covered by the option liabilities of 31 December 2017. Apart from the payment, which is reported within the cashflow of investing activities this transaction had no significant effect on the consolidated financial statements in 2018.
An option granted in the course of a business combination in 2012 (put/call option) was exercised by the noncontrolling shareholder in 2018. The Company acquired the offered shares for TEUR 811, which resulted in a valuation gain of TEUR 2,712.
The development of option liabilities in the financial year is shown below:

| in TEUR | 31.12.2019 |
|---|---|
| due < 1 year | 2,779 |
| due 2–5 years | 5,201 |
| due > 5 years | 1,593 |
| Total of undiscounted lease payments | 9,573 |
Amounts recognized in profit & loss relating to leases in 2019 break down as follows:
| in TEUR | 2019 |
|---|---|
| Interest expenses for lease liabilities | 302 |
| Expenses for short-term leases | 1,585 |
| Expenses for low value leases | 34 |
The Company's share capital as at 31 December 2019 as well as at 31 December 2018 was EUR 16 million and is divided into 16 million shares with a par value of EUR 1.00 each.
In the Annual General Meeting from 23 April 2019 the Executive Board was authorized for a period of five years to increase share capital by up to TEUR 1,600 through the issue of new shares, provided the consent of the Supervisory Board. The Annual General Meeting on 24 April 2018 authorised the Executive Board to acquire treasury shares of the Company up to a maximum of 10 % of the share capital for a period of 30 months. In the 2019 financial year no treasury shares were acquired based on the authorization from the Annual General Meeting. In 2018 the Company acquired 10,000 treasury shares at a purchase price of TEUR 586.
As at the 2019 reporting date, the Company held 44,597 treasury shares (previous year: 50,597 shares), which corresponds to 0.28 % (previous year: 0.32 %) of the share capital with a cost of TEUR 2,479 (previous year: TEUR 2,812). The number of shares outstanding is thus 15,955,403 shares (previous year: 15,949,403 shares).
In a business combination in 2010, it was stipulated that 50,000 shares of stock would be tendered as contingent consideration if specified future sales targets were achieved. As the sales target was not met in 2019, there is no dilution effect on the number of shares outstanding as at 31 December 2019.
As at 31 December 2019, Berndorf Industrieholding AG, Vienna held approximately 33.4 % of the share capital (previous year: approximately 33.4 %).
Austrian law requires the establishment of a legal reserve in the amount of 10 % of the Company's nominal share capital. As long as the legal reserve and other restricted capital reserves do not reach this amount, the Company is required to allocate 5 % of its annual net profit, reduced by a loss carry forward to the legal reserve. Only the annual financial statements of the parent company prepared in accordance with Austrian accounting principles are decisive for the establishment of this reserve. No further allocation is required because the amount of the reserve already recognized is sufficient.

The Company operates worldwide, mainly in one single industry segment, the design and manufacturing of drilling equipment for the oil and gas industry.
In accordance with IFRS 8, the following segment report follows the management approach, in which the entire Executive Board of Schoeller-Bleckmann Oilfield Equipment AG is the chief operating decision maker monitoring the performance of the business units and deciding on the allocation of resources to the business segments.
The "Advanced Manufacturing & Services" (AMS) segment comprises the high-precision manufacturing and repair of drill collars and complex MWD (Measurement While Drilling)/LWD (Logging While Drilling) components from antimagnetic, corrosion resistant stainless steel. These form the housing for the sensitive measuring instruments that are used for the precise measurement of inclination and direction of the drillstring as well as petrophysical parameters.
The "Oilfield Equipment" (OE) segment bundles a wide range of highly-specialized solutions for the oil and gas industry: High-performance drilling motors and tools for the targeted driving of the drill string, special tools for downhole circulation technology (circulation tools), and products for the resource-efficient completion of unconventional reservoirs in the two dominant technologies, sliding sleeve and plug-n-perf.
Management of the Company and the allocation of resources are based on the financial performance of these segments. Management monitors sales revenues, profit from operations, and profit/loss before tax of the business units separately for the purpose of making decisions on the allocation of resources.
The amounts presented are a summary of the separate balance sheets and income statements the individual companies included in the consolidated financial statements. Individual holding adjustments and consolidating entries (elimination of intercompany profit and loss and other intragroup transactions) must be accounted for to attain the consolidated results presented. Results in the total column correspond to those in the profit and loss statement.
Intra-Group sales are made at arm's length conditions.

Expenses for pensions and severance payments for active members of the Executive Board amounted to TEUR 437 (previous year: TEUR 346). Of that amount, TEUR 151 (previous year: TEUR 181) was attributable to defined contribution pension agreements. Expenses for share-based payments in financial years 2019 and 2018 are not included in the remuneration amounts presented above. Please see Note 33 for information on the voluntary severance and sharebased payments.
Remuneration for the Supervisory Board amounted to TEUR 220 in the 2019 financial year (previous year: TEUR 159), which was a combination of a flat reimbursement for expenses and a variable component based on the Group's results.
No loans were granted to the members of the Executive or Supervisory Boards in the 2019 or 2018 financial years.
Share-based payments in the 2019 financial year resulted in expenses of TEUR 605 (previous year: TEUR 1,637). In the 2014 financial year, the Chief Executive Officer, Mr Gerald Grohmann, was granted an annual transfer of 6,000 SBO shares, contingent upon valid employment. The first transfer was made in 2014. Mr Grohmann may not dispose of or encumber the shares for a period of two years following each transfer, however not exceeding the termination of the employment agreement. In 2018 the annual granting of 6,000 SBO shares was extended in accordance with the extension of the Management Board mandate until 2021. The market value of 6,000 shares at the transfer date in 2019 was TEUR 444 (previous year: TEUR 536). The market value of the 12,000 shares already transferred and still subject to disposal restrictions was TEUR 604 as at 31 December 2019 (previous year: 12,000 shares with a market value of TEUR 688).

The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair values of financial instruments by valuation technique:
The financial instruments recognized at fair value in the consolidated financial statements are allocated as shown below:
| in TEUR | BALANCE SHEET ITEM | TOTAL | LEVEL 2 | LEVEL 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Assets | ||||
| Derivatives (FVTPL) | Other receivables and other assets |
144 | 144 | 0 |
| Liabilities | ||||
| Derivatives (FVTPL) | Other liabilities | -116,916 | -11 | -116,905 |
| 2018 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| in TEUR | BALANCE SHEET ITEM | TOTAL | LEVEL 2 | LEVEL 3 |
| Assets | ||||
| Derivatives (FVTPL) | Other receivables and other assets |
61 | 61 | 0 |
| Liabilities | ||||
| Derivatives (FVTPL) | Other liabilities | -145,208 | -140 | -145,068 |
There were no reclassifications between the individual measurement levels during the 2019 and 2018 reporting periods. If required, items are generally reclassified at the end of the reporting period.
The derivatives assigned to level 3 consist solely of liabilities for the option liabilities from cancellable non-controlling interests (see Note 20).
The forward exchange contracts are measured based on observable spot exchange rates.
For fixed rate loans received and lease liabilities, the fair value was calculated by discounting the expected future cashflows using market interest rates. For variable rate bank loans and loans received and issued, discounting corresponds to current market rates, which is why the carrying amounts largely equal the fair values. Cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and trade payables and all other items have mostly short residual terms. The carrying amounts therefore equal the fair values on the reporting date.
The carrying amount and the different fair value for financial instruments measured at cost are presented in the table below:
| 2019 | 2018 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| in TEUR | LEVEL | CARRYING AMOUNT | FAIR VALUE |

The total interest expense determined using the effective interest rate method for financial liabilities not valued at fair value through profit or loss was TEUR 5,911 (previous year: TEUR 5,638). Net results in the category at amortized costs include interest expenses of TEUR 0 (2018: TEUR 0) and in the category at fair value through profit or loss TEUR 2,788 (2018: TEUR 5,763).
The SBO Group's operations are exposed to a number of risks that are inextricably linked to its worldwide business activities. Efficient management and control systems are used to recognize, analyse, and manage these risks, with the help of which the management of the individual operations monitors the operating risks and reports them to Group management.
From a current perspective, no risks are discernible that jeopardize the Company's existence as a going concern.
Schoeller-Bleckmann Oilfield Equipment's business development is, to a large extent, exposed to economic cycles, in particular to the cyclical development of drilling activities for oil and gas of the national and international oil companies. In order to minimize the related risks of fluctuations in orders received, the Group's manufacturing companies have been designed to ensure maximum flexibility.
The market for the SBO Grou with alloy surchaiges being p's products and services is determined to a great extent by the continuous development and use of new technologies. Securing and maintaining the customer base therefore depends on the ability to offer new products and services tailored to the customer's needs.
In 2019, the three largest customers (which are globally-active service companies in the directional drilling market) accounted for a 36.0 % share of sales (previous year: 28.4 %). SBO counters the risk of suffering potential noticeable sales declines from the loss of a customer through continuous innovation, quality assurance measures and close customer retention.
On the procurement side, raw materials and in particular alloy surcharges for non-magnetic steel are subject to significant price fluctuations. These are partly passed on to customers with alloy surcharges being part of our agreements.
The Company procures high-alloy special steel, which is its most essential raw material, to a great extent from one supplier and is therefore exposed to the risk of delayed deliveries, capacity bottlenecks, or business interruptions. From today's perspective, the Company foresees absolutely no difficulty in continuing to obtain quality steel from this supplier. However, in the event a failure by this supplier, there are only limited options for replacement procurement in the short-term.
SBO is subject to the risk of substitution of its products and technologies, which may also result in the growth of new competitors. SBO counters this risk through ongoing market observation, active proximity to customers, and proprietary innovations.
One the one hand, the Company has various financial assets, such as trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents, and short-term investments as a direct result of its business operations. On the other hand, it also uses financial instruments such as liabilities to banks and trade payables, which ensure the financing of the Company's operations.
In addition, the Company has derivative financial instruments to hedge foreign exchange risks arising from its business operations and financing sources. Derivatives are not used for trading or speculative purposes.
The financial instruments principally entail interest-related cashflow risks, as well as liquidity, currency, and credit risks.
Foreign currency risks arise from fluctuations in the value of financial instruments or cashflows as a result of exchange rate fluctuations.
Foreign currency risks arise in the SBO Group where balance sheet items and income and expenses are generated or incurred in a currency other than the local currency. Forward exchange contracts (mainly in US dollars) are concluded to hedge receivables and liabilities in foreign currencies.
Over the long-term, SBO invoices an average of approximately 80 % of its sales in US dollars. This is due to its customer structure. All dominating service companies in the directional drilling market are headquartered in the US and settle their worldwide activities in US dollars. Also, from a long-term perspective, only about 50 % to 60 % of costs are incurred in US dollars as important production facilities are located not just in the US, but in Europe as well. For reasons of costs and expedience, SBO does not hedge its entire net dollar exposure. In any case, SBO's earnings are dependent on the USD/EUR exchange rate.
Additional risks arise from translating the financial statements of the foreign companies into the Group currency. Sales, earnings, and carrying amounts of these companies depend on the applicable exchange rate. As a result of the significant investments in the US, the primary sales market and location of important production facilities, changes in the US dollar have a substantial impact on the consolidated financial statements.
The table below shows the impact of a potential change in the USD exchange rate on the consolidated financial statements, based on reasonable judgment, and only in respect of the changes in value of derivative instruments (forward exchange contracts) as there are no material trade receivables or trade payables that are not denominated in the Group's functional currency:
| in TEUR | 2019 | 2018 | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Change in EUR/USD exchange rate | + 10 CENT | - 10 CENT | + 10 CENT | - 10 CENT |
| Change in profit/loss before tax | +1,365 | -1,365 | +1,647 | -1,647 |
Interest rate risks result from fluctuations in market interest rates which lead to changes in value of financial instruments and interest rate-related cashflows.
Almost all long-term loans existing as at the reporting date have fixed interest rates and are therefore not subject to interest rate risk. However, the fair value of these long-term loans is subject to fluctuations. The interest rates for individual loans are disclosed in Note 17. With the exception of loans and lease liabilities, no other liabilities are interest bearing and therefore are not subject to any interest rate risk.
The interest rate risk is further reduced by the portfolio of short-term interest-bearing investments which the Company continuously holds. Depending on whether the Company has a surplus of financial resources on the investment or borrowing side, interest rate risks could therefore result from an increase or decrease in interest rates.
The table below shows the impact of a possible potential change in interest rates, based on reasonable judgment, on the interest expense for variable-rate liabilities to banks and on interest income for variable-rate bank balances (there are no impacts on consolidated equity):
| in TEUR | 2019 | 2018 | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Change in basis points | + 10 | + 20 | + 10 | + 20 |
| Change in profit/loss before tax | +160 | +320 | +156 | +312 |
Credit risk arises from the non-performance of contractual obligations by business partners and the resulting asset losses. The maximum default risk equals the carrying amount of the receivables.
The credit risk related to our receivables from customers can be considered as low as there have been long-standing, stable business relations with all major customers. Furthermore, we regularly check the creditworthiness of new and existing customers and monitor outstanding balances. Loss allowances are recognized for credit risks.
With regard to loans to the management of subsidiaries, the credit risk is limited by the surety of the acquired shares (see Note 10).
For other financial assets (cash and cash equivalents), the maximum credit risk upon default of the counterparty is the carrying amount of the financial instrument. However, this credit risk may be considered as low since we only choose highly-rated banks.
Liquidity risk consists in the risk of being able to access the financial resources required to settle liabilities incurred at all times and in due time.
Due to the Company's strong self-financing capability, the liquidity risk is relatively low. The Company generates liquid funds through its operating business and uses external bank financing when needed. Due to spreading financing facilities across the world, there is no material risk concentration.
A key instrument of liquidity management is the ongoing monitoring of liquidity and financial planning of the operating units by Group management. Financing requirements are centrally managed and based on the consolidated financial reporting of the Group members.
The table below shows all contractually obligated payments as at 31 December for principal payments, repayments, and interest from recognized financial liabilities, including derivative financial instruments, with disclosure of the undiscounted cashflows for the following financial years:

Derivatives shown as of 31 December 2019 in the column for 2020 (as of 31 December 2018 in column for 2019) mainly refer to option liabilities for cancellable non-controlling interests (see Note 20).
The risk variables are in particular the share prices and stock indices.
The Company's primary goal is to ensure that we maintain a high credit rating and equity ratio in order to support our operations and maximize shareholder value.
The gearing ratio (net debt as a percentage of equity) is used in particular to monitor and manage capital. Net debt comprises long-term loans and bank liabilities, less cash and cash equivalents.
The gearing ratio was 5.4 % as at 31 December 2019 (previous year: 18.1 %).

For the shareholders of the parent, the desired average long-term dividend rate is 30 % to 60 % (of the consolidated profit after tax).
The Company had no contingent liabilities as at 31 December 2019 or 31 December 2018.
Other obligations exist solely from leases (see Note 21) and purchase commitments for investments in property, plant and equipment (see Note 8).
The Company's cashflow statement shows the change of cash and cash equivalents for the Company and the subsidiaries during the reporting year as a result of cash inflows and outflows. Cash funds correspond to the cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated balance sheet and are comprised solely of cash-in-hand and bank balances including short-term deposits.
Within the cashflow statement, cashflows are broken down into cashflows from operating activities, from investing activities and from financing activities.
The cashflows from foreign operations have been allowed for by applying average foreign exchange rates.
The cashflows from operating activities are determined using the indirect method by starting with adjusting net income after income taxes and adjusting it for non-cash income and expenses. This result and the recognized changes in working capital (excluding cash funds) equal the cashflow from operating activities.
Cash inflows and outflows from current operations include inflows and outflows from interest payments and income taxes.
Dividend payments are presented as part of financing activities.
See to Note 20 for details on payments relating to the purchase of minority interests.

Ternitz, 28 February 2020
Executive Board
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of SCHOELLER-BLECKMANN OILFIELD EQUIPMENT Aktiengesellschaft, Ternitz and of its subsidiaries (the Group) comprising the consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2019, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the fiscal year then ended and the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Based on our audit the accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the legal regulations and present fairly, in all material respects, the assets and the financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2019 and its financial performance for the year then ended in accordance with the International Financial Reportings Standards (IFRS) as adopted by EU, and the additional requirements under Section 245a Austrian Company Code UGB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the regulation (EU) no. 537/2014 (in the following "EU regulation") and in accordance with Austrian Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with International Standards on Auditing (ISA). Our responsibilities under those regulations and standards are further described in the "Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements" Section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Austrian General Accepted Accounting Principles and professional requirements and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the fiscal year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
We considered the following matter as key audit matter for our audit:
In its consolidated financial statements, SCHOELLER-BLECKMANN OILFIELD EQUIPMENT Aktiengesellschaft shows Goodwill of mEUR 140.4.
Under IFRS, as adopted by the EU, an entity is required to annually test the amount of goodwill for impairment.
Recoverability of goodwill depends on both external factors such as the development of oil prices, the development of input factors for discount rates, rig counts and drilling activities as well as internal evaluations such as the development of customer behavior and requires management discretionary decisions. The significant risk in the course of performing tests of impairment lies in the estimation of future cash flows and discount rates.
In 2019, the Austrian Financial Reporting Enforcement Panel (AFREP) found an error regarding management's assessment in cashflow projections, which resulted in a correction of the test for impairment as at 12/31/2018 for the cash generating unit (CGU) "Resource Well Completion Technologies Inc.". Subsequently, in line with IAS 8.42, a retrospective impairment for the goodwill of the aforementioned CGU amounting to mEUR 23.9 was recorded (adjustment with retrospective effect, correction of accounting-related estimates and errors).
We refer to the disclosure in the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Sections "Note 4, pts 9 and pts 18" and "Note 9, subsection 1. Goodwill".
To address this risk, we have performed, among others, the following audit procedures:
We have assessed the design of the entity's procedures for conducting impairment tests.
The composition of the cash-generating units (CGUs) as well as the allocation of the assets, liabilities and cashflows thereto has been audited.
Forecasted sales, results and investments were reconciled to approved budgets and material planning assumptions (sales, expenditures, investments, changes in Working Capital) have been assessed in order to verify the appropriateness of budget information. Cashflows used in the group's impairment tests have been assessed regarding the methodology as well as clerical accuracy. Assumptions related to discount factors as well as growth rates have been assessed as well.
For the amended planning for CGU "Resource Well Completion Technologies Inc." which was used for the retrospective adjustment of goodwill we performed a review of changed planning information as well as an analysis of major value drivers in order to verify the appropriateness of the planning.
We involved EY valuation specialists in our audit procedures related to the assessment of the appropriateness of valuation models, cash flow assumptions as well as input factors.
We also evaluated whether disclosures regarding impairment testing in the notes to the consolidated financial statements were made in line with IAS 36 and the disclosures regarding the retrospective adjustment were made in line with IAS 8.
Management is responsible for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the EU, and the additional requirements under Section 245a Austrian Company Code UGB for them to present a true and fair view of the assets, the financial position and the financial performance of the Group and for such internal controls as management determines are necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing the Group's financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the EU regulation and in accordance with Austrian Standards on Auditing, which require the application of ISA, always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the EU regulation and in accordance with Austrian Standards on Auditing, which require the application of ISA, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit.
• identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with the Audit Committee regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the Audit Committee with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safe-guards.
From the matters communicated with the Audit Committee, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
Pursuant to Austrian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, the management report for the Group is to be audited as to whether it is consistent with the consolidated financial statements and as to whether the management report for the Group was prepared in accordance with the applicable legal regulations.
Regarding the consolidated non-financial statement contained in the group management report, it is our responsibility to examine whether it has been prepared, to read it and to evaluate whether it is, based on our knowledge obtained in the audit, materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
Management is responsible for the preparation of the management report for the Group in accordance with Austrian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
We conducted our audit in accordance with Austrian Standards on Auditing for the audit of the management report for the Group.
In our opinion, the management report for the Group was prepared in accordance with the valid legal requirements, comprising the details in accordance with Section 243a Austrian Company Code UGB, and is consistent with the consolidated financial statements.
Based on the findings during the audit of the consolidated financial statements and due to the thus obtained understanding concerning the Group and its circumstances no material misstatements in the management report for the Group came to our attention.
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report (apart from the consolidated financial statements, the management report for the Group and the auditor's report thereon), which have been provided to us prior to the date of the auditor's report.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, to consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
We were elected as auditor by the ordinary general meeting at April 23, 2019. We were appointed by the Supervisory Board on April 23, 2019. We are auditors without cease since 1996.
We confirm that the audit opinion in the Section "Report on the consolidated financial statements" is consistent with the additional report to the audit committee referred to in article 11 of the EU regulation.
We declare that no prohibited non-audit services (article 5 par. 1 of the EU regulation) were provided by us and that we remained independent of the audited company in conducting the audit.
The engagement partner is Mag. Karl Fuchs, Certified Public Accountant.

* This report is a translation of the original report in German, which is solely valid. Publication or sharing with third parties of the consolidated financial statements together with our auditor's opinion is only allowed if the consolidated financial statements and the management report for the Group are identical with the German audited version. This audit opinion is only applicable to the German and complete consolidated financial statements with the management report for the Group. Section 281 paragraph 2 UGB (Austrian Company Code) applies to alternated versions.
In the 2019 financial year, the Supervisory Board performed its duties assigned to it by law and the Company's articles of association. It held five meetings and received regular oral and written reports about the business development and situation of the Company and its Group companies from the Executive Board, including information about relevant business occurrences. The discussions between the Supervisory Board and Executive Board focused on the strategic orientation and development of the Group as well as on key business transactions and measures.
At the 2019 Annual General Meeting Brigitte Ederer und Helmut Langanger were confirmed for another five-year term of office. Therefore, both the Supervisory Board and the Executive Board remained unchanged in the 2019 financial year.
The Supervisory Board has two committees: The Audit Committee and the Remuneration Committee (Nomination and Remuneration Committee).
In the 2019 financial year, the Remuneration Committee convened once to deal with matters regarding remuneration of the members of the Executive Board in accordance with Section 78a Austrian Stock Corporation Act (AktG) (remuneration policy), which were adopted by the Supervisory Board of the Company based on the recommendation of the Remuneration Committee.
The Audit Committee held two meetings in the 2019 financial year to discuss the financial reports of the Company (consolidated and annual financial statements), performing the duties assigned to it according to Section 92 (4a) Austrian Stock Corporation Act (AktG). Representatives of Ernst & Young Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft m.b.H as auditor of the annual financial statements and the consolidated financial statements of the Company attended the meeting of the Audit Committee which dealt with the preparation of the adoption of the annual financial statements and consolidated financial statements 2018 and their audits and reported about the auditing process. Additionally, the Audit Committee held a meeting for in-depth discussion about the planning of the audits of the annual financial statements and the consolidated financial statements 2019 with representatives of Ernst & Young Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft m.b.H. The Supervisory Board was informed regularly about the results of the meetings of the Audit Committee.
The annual financial statements as of 31 December 2019 and the management report were audited by Ernst & Young Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft m.b.H. The audit revealed that the annual financial statements comply with the legal requirements, give a true and fair view of the Company's assets and financial position as of 31 December 2019 and of the earnings situation of the Company for the financial year from 1 January 2019 to 31 December 2019, and that the management report has been prepared according to applicable legal requirements, contains accurate information pursuant to Section 243a Austrian Commercial Code (UGB) and is consistent with the annual financial statements, and that the Corporate Governance Report required according to Section 243c Austrian Commercial Code (UGB) was prepared by analogy with the provisions of Section 251 (3) Austrian Commercial Code (UGB).
The consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2019, which have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) to be applied in the EU, and the consolidated management report were also audited by Ernst & Young Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft m.b.H. The audit revealed that the consolidated financial statements comply with the legal requirements, give a true and fair view of the Group's assets and financial position as of 31 December 2019 and of the earnings situation and the cashflows of the Group for the 2019 financial year, and that the consolidated management report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements, contains accurate information pursuant to Section 243a Austrian Commercial Code (UGB) and is consistent with the consolidated financial statements, and that the consolidated nonfinancial statement required pursuant to Section 267a Austrian Commercial Code (UGB) and the consolidated Corporate Governance Report required according to Section 267b Austrian Commercial Code (UGB) were prepared by analogy with the provisions of Section 251 (3) Austrian Commercial Code (UGB).
As the audits did not give rise to any objections, the auditors issued unqualified audit opinions both for the annual financial statements for 2019 and the consolidated financial statements for 2019.
At its meeting on 17 March 2020, and after discussion and review by the Audit Committee, the Supervisory Board reviewed the submitted annual financial statements as of 31 December 2019 and the management report as well as the consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2019 and the consolidated management report including the non-financial statement pursuant to Section 267a Austrian Commercial Code (UGB) and the Corporate Governance Report. The final results of these reviews did not give rise to any objections. At its meeting on 17 March 2020 the Supervisory Board approved the annual financial statements as of 31 December 2019, which are therefore adopted pursuant to Section 96 (4) Austrian Stock Corporation Act (AktG). In addition, the Supervisory Board consented at that meeting to the proposal submitted by the Executive Board regarding appropriation of the net profit reported in the annual financial statements of the Company as of 31 December 2019.
The Supervisory Board extends its thanks and appreciation to the members of the Executive Board and all employees of the SBO Group for their strong commitment and performance in the 2019 financial year and thanks the shareholders and customers of the SBO Group for their trust.

Der Jahresabschluss der SCHOELLER-BLECKMANN OILFIELD EQUIPMENT Aktiengesellschaft (SBO), mit Sitz in Ternitz, wurde nach den Vorschriften des Unternehmensgesetzbuches (§§ 189ff UGB) in der geltenden Fassung erstellt.
Der Jahresabschluss wurde unter Beachtung der Grundsätze ordnungsmäßiger Buchführung sowie unter Beachtung der Generalnorm, ein möglichst getreues Bild der Vermögens-, Finanzund Ertragslage des Unternehmens zu vermitteln, aufgestellt.
Bei der Erstellung des Jahresabschlusses wurde der Grundsatz der Vollständigkeit eingehalten.
Bei der Bewertung der einzelnen Vermögensgegenstände und Schulden wurden der Grundsatz der Einzelbewertung und eine Fortführung des Unternehmens unterstellt. Dem Vorsichtsprinzip wurde dadurch Rechnung getragen, dass nur die am Abschlussstichtag verwirklichten Gewinne ausgewiesen wurden.
Für erkennbare Risiken und drohende Verluste, die aus dem vergangenen und früheren Geschäftsjahren resultieren und in der Zukunft schlagend werden könnten, wurden entsprechende Vorsorgen in die Bilanz eingestellt.
Die Gewinn- und Verlustrechnung wurde nach dem Gesamtkostenverfahren erstellt.
Die SBO erstellt einen Konzernabschluss gemäß § 245a UGB nach international anerkannten Rechnungslegungsgrundsätzen. Der Konzernabschluss wird beim Firmenbuch des Handelsgerichtes Wiener Neustadt hinterlegt.
Die Gesellschaft ist seit 2005 Gruppenträger einer Unternehmensgruppe gemäß § 9 KStG.
Bei der Summierung von gerundeten Beträgen und Prozentangaben können durch Verwendung automatischer Rechenhilfen rundungsbedingte Rechendifferenzen auftreten.
Bei der Bewertung des Anlagevermögens wurde das Niederstwertprinzip eingehalten. Die vorgenommenen Abschreibungen tragen den verbrauchsbedingten und sonstigen Wertminderungen voll Rechnung. Die planmäßige Abschreibung wird linear vorgenommen.
Die Forderungen und sonstigen Vermögensgegenstände wurden nach dem strengen Niederstwertprinzip bilanziert. Fremdwährungsforderungen wurden mit dem Devisen-Kurs zum Bilanzstichtag oder zu niedrigeren Anschaffungskursen bewertet. Allen erkennbaren Einzelrisiken wurde durch Wertberichtigungen Rechnung getragen. Pauschalwertberichtigungen wurden nicht vorgenommen.
Auf Fremdwährung lautende Guthaben bei Kreditinstituten wurden mit dem Devisen-Kurs zum Bilanzstichtag bilanziert.
Die Bewertung der Verbindlichkeiten erfolgte unter Bedachtnahme auf den Grundsatz der Vorsicht mit ihrem Erfüllungsbetrag. Fremdwährungsverbindlichkeiten wurden mit ihrem Entstehungskurs oder mit dem höheren Devisen-Kurs zum Bilanzstichtag bewertet.
Die Berechnung der Abfertigungsrückstellungen erfolgte mittels versicherungsmathematischem Verfahren gemäß IAS 19 (Methode der laufenden Einmalprämien). Hierzu wurden die folgenden Berechnungsannahmen verwendet: Zinssatz 0,9 % (Vorjahr: 1,8 %), Gehaltssteigerung 3,5 % p. a. (Vorjahr: 3,5 %), Pensionseintrittsalter gemäß den aktuellen gesetzlichen Regelungen. Im Rahmen der Ermittlung der Abfertigungsrückstellung erfolgt die Verteilung des Dienstzeitaufwandes über den Zeitraum vom Eintritt in das Unternehmen bis zum Zeitpunkt des geplanten Pensionsantrittes des jeweiligen Dienstnehmers. Die Veränderungen der Abfertigungsrückstellungen (sowie auch der Jubiläumsgeldrückstellungen) werden im Personalaufwand erfasst.
Die Jubiläumsgeldrückstellungen wurden ebenfalls gemäß IAS 19 berechnet.
Die Entwicklung des Anlagevermögens ist im beiliegenden Anlagenspiegel dargestellt.
Das abnutzbare Anlagevermögen wird über folgende Nutzungsdauern planmäßig linear abgeschrieben:
| - | EDV-Software | 4 Jahre |
|---|---|---|
| - | Rechte | 15 Jahre |
| - | Gebäude und Grundstückseinrichtungen | 10 bis 50 Jahre |
| - | Betriebs- und Geschäftsausstattung | 4 bis 8 Jahre |
Für die Anteile an verbundenen Unternehmen wurden zum Bilanzstichtag 31.12.2019 Werthaltigkeitstests durchgeführt. Die Bewertung erfolgte auf Basis der vorliegenden Planungen durch Diskontierung der prognostizierten Cashflows unter Heranziehung eines Kapitalkostensatzes nach Steuern, welcher aufgrund aktueller Marktdaten für vergleichbare Unternehmen im selben Industriezweig unter Berücksichtigung der länderspezifischen Inflationserwartungen ermittelt wurde.
Die Cashflows wurden auf Basis der prognostizierten Umsätze und der hierfür notwendigen Kapazitäten (insb. Personalausstattung sowie Investitionen in das Anlagevermögen und in das Working Capital) ermittelt. Die Bewertung wird am stärksten von den Umsatzerlösen beeinflusst.
Die Umsatzplanungen werden erstellt, indem einerseits die gesamtheitliche Entwicklung der Oilfield Service Industrie berücksichtigt wird (im Wesentlichen in Form der erwarteten zukünftigen CAPEX Spendings) und andererseits auch die unternehmensspezifischen Kundenbeziehungen und regionalen Marktgegebenheiten einbezogen werden. Die Umsatzplanungen im Bereich Manufacturing berücksichtigen zudem die bereits vorhandenen Auftragsstände der wichtigsten Kunden. Für die nachhaltige Planung der Umsatzerlöse und Cashflows wird auch die aus der Vergangenheit abgeleitete Zyklizität der Branche, sofern relevant, herangezogen.
Die Margenplanung wird aus dem geplanten Produktmix und den entsprechenden Preiserwartungen sowie den prognostizierten Kostenentwicklungen abgeleitet. Für die erwarteten Erlöse werden einerseits die bisher erzielten Preise bzw. die Preise von allenfalls vorhandenen Kundenaufträgen herangezogen als auch zukünftige Marktindikationen auf Basis von Rückmeldungen des Vertriebs verwendet. Die Kostenentwicklungen basieren auf den variablen Kosten in Form von bekannten oder erwarteten Materialpreisentwicklungen (basierend auf Preisindikationen bestehender Lieferanten, Materialpreisentwicklungen auf Rohstoffmärkten und daraus ableitbare Trends sowie auf der unterstellten Mengenplanung) und auf den erwarteten fixen Kosten in Form von geplanten Erhaltungs-Investitionen in Maschinen, Anlagen und in die Mietflotte. Weiters wird die erforderliche Personalausstattung (basierend auf geplantem Headcount, erforderlicher Qualifikation der benötigten Mitarbeiter sowie der aufgrund der aktuellen Wirtschaftslage erwarteten Personalkosten) berücksichtigt.
Die durchgeführten Werthaltigkeitstests haben in 2019 zu keinen Wertminderungen geführt.
Die Ausleihungen betrafen ausschließlich Konzerngesellschaften. Die Ausleihungen mit einer Restlaufzeit von unter einem Jahr betragen TEUR 0 (Vorjahr TEUR 0).
Forderungen und sonstige Vermögensgegenstände
Die Forderungen gegenüber verbundenen Unternehmen resultieren ausschließlich aus Konzernfinanzierungen.
Die in den sonstigen Forderungen enthaltenen Erträge, welche nach dem Abschlussstichtag zahlungswirksam werden, betrafen Zinsabgrenzungen (TEUR 58,3; Vorjahr: TEUR 668,1).
Die aktiven latenten Steuern wurden zum Bilanzstichtag für folgende Posten gebildet: Beteiligungen, Sachanlagen und Personalrückstellungen. Im Vorjahr wurden auch für bestehende steuerliche Verlustvorträge aktive latente Steuern gebildet. Diese wurden im Geschäftsjahr 2019 vollständig mit laufenden Gewinnen des Jahres verrechnet.
Die Bewertung der latenten Steuern erfolgte mit einem Steuersatz von 25%. Der Rückgang im Jahr 2019 ergibt sich im Wesentlichen aus der Verrechnung von Vorjahresverlusten mit steuerlichen Gewinnen der Steuergruppe in 2019.
Das eingeforderte und eingezahlte Grundkapital von TEUR 16.000,0 besteht aus 16.000.000 auf Inhaber lautende Aktien zu je EUR 1,00.
In der Hauptversammlung vom 23. April 2019 wurde der Vorstand für die Dauer von 5 Jahren ermächtigt, mit Zustimmung des Aufsichtsrats das Grundkapital um bis zu TEUR 1.600 durch Ausgabe neuer Aktien zu erhöhen. In der Hauptversammlung vom 24. April 2018 wurde der Vorstand für die Dauer von 30 Monaten ermächtigt, eigene Aktien der Gesellschaft bis zu maximal 10 % des Grundkapitals zu erwerben. Im Geschäftsjahr 2019 hat die Gesellschaft von der Ermächtigung zum Erwerb eigener Aktien keinen Gebrauch gemacht. In 2018 hat die Gesellschaft 10.000 Stück eigene Aktien mit einem Kaufpreis von TEUR 586 erworben.
Zum Bilanzstichtag 2019 hält die Gesellschaft 44.597 Stück eigene Aktien (Vorjahr: 50.597 Stück). Dies entspricht einem Anteil von 0,28 % (Vorjahr: 0,32 %) am Grundkapital mit einem Anschaffungswert von TEUR 2.478,7 (Vorjahr TEUR 2.812,2). Die Anzahl der im Umlauf befindlichen Aktien beträgt somit 15.955.403 Stück (Vorjahr: 15.949.403 Stück).
Die gebundene Kapitalrücklage betrug zum Bilanzstichtag TEUR 70.020,6 (Vorjahr: TEUR 70.026,6) und resultiert im Wesentlichen aus dem Agio bei der Ausgabe junger Aktien in 1997 und in 2005. Die Veränderung in 2019 resultiert aus dem Abgang von eigenen Anteilen und einer Umgliederung zur Optionsrücklage.
Die gesetzliche Rücklage betrug zum Bilanzstichtag unverändert TEUR 785,3.
Die freie Rücklage betrug zum Bilanzstichtag TEUR 14.381,21 (Vorjahr: TEUR 14.057,9). Die Veränderung in 2019 resultiert aus der Übertragung eigener Anteile.
Die Optionsrücklage in Zusammenhang mit einem im Jahr 2014 vereinbarten und in 2018 verlängerten Vorstandsvergütungsprogramm für die künftige Abgabe von eigenen Aktien beträgt zum Bilanzstichtag TEUR 3.917,2 (VJ: TEUR 3.628,5).
Gemäß dem Hauptversammlungsbeschluss vom 23. April 2019 wurden vom Bilanzgewinn 2018 TEUR 15.955,3 an die Aktionäre ausgeschüttet und die verbleibenden TEUR 1.639,4 auf neue Rechnung vorgetragen.

Die SCHOELLER-BLECKMANN OILFIELD EQUIPMENT Aktiengesellschaft (SBO) fungiert als konzernleitende Holdinggesellschaft zur Steuerung und Beratung der Tochter- und Beteiligungsgesellschaften.
Wegen ihrer Holdingfunktion haben die finanziellen Kennzahlen der SBO keine Aussagekraft für die wirtschaftliche Entwicklung des Konzerns. Die Beurteilung der Vermögens- und Ertragslage des SBO-Konzerns ist deshalb nur anhand des Konzernabschlusses möglich.
Die Umsatzerlöse der SBO betrugen 2019 MEUR 8,1 (Vorjahr: MEUR 7,8). Bei den von SBO ausgewiesenen Umsatzerlösen handelt es sich um konzerninterne Leistungen sowie um Erlöse aus der Vermietung von Grund- und Gebäudeflächen in Ternitz.
Das Ergebnis vor Steuern betrug 2019 MEUR 26,5 (Vorjahr: MEUR 15,8). Es war wesentlich gekennzeichnet durch Erträge aus Beteiligungen in Höhe von MEUR 17,8 (Vorjahr: MEUR 26,1).
In den Jahren 2018 und 2019 gab es keine nennenswerten Zugänge zu Sachanlagen und immateriellen Vermögensgegenständen.
Die Zugänge zu Finanzanlagen betrugen im Jahr 2019 MEUR 35,8 und betrafen mit MEUR 13,3 Anteile an verbundenen Unternehmen. Darin enthalten sind Kapitalerhöhungen in Höhe von MEUR 8,4. Im Jahr 2018 gab es keine Zugänge bzw. Kapitalerhöhungen. In 2019 wurden bei den Anteilen an verbundenen Unternehmen Aufwertungen in Höhe von MEUR 6,5 (Vorjahr: Abwertung von MEUR 9,6) vorgenommen. Ausleihungen an verbundenen Unternehmen wurden im Ausmaß von MEUR 22,4 (Vorjahr: Rückzahlung MEUR 9,0) ausgegeben.
Die Bilanzsumme 2019 ist mit MEUR 439,5 gegenüber dem Vorjahr (MEUR 445,4) leicht gesunken.
Die Eigenkapitalquote ist auf Grund der gesunkenen Bilanzsumme und des positiven Jahresergebnisses auf 30,0 % gestiegen (Vorjahr: 27,4 %).
Desgleichen ist das langfristig gebundene Vermögen (überwiegend Finanzanlagen) auf 69,9 % der Bilanzsumme gestiegen (Vorjahr: 59,5 %).
Es bestehen keine Zweigniederlassungen der SBO.
Der Personalstand der SBO zum 31. Dezember 2019 betrug 22 Mitarbeiter (14 Gehaltsempfänger und 8 Lohnempfänger). Im Vorjahr belief sich die Mitarbeiteranzahl auf 21 (13 Gehaltsempfänger und 8 Lohnempfänger).
Unsere Mitarbeiter sichern mit ihrem Wissen und ihrer Kompetenz den nachhaltigen Erfolg unseres Unternehmens. Wir bauen auf unsere erfahrene und gut ausgebildete Mannschaft, die wir von der Einstellung an begleiten und durch ihre gesamte Laufbahn bei SBO fördern.
Unsere Branche ist von Zyklen mit Auf- und Abschwüngen geprägt. In unserer Personalplanung achten wir darauf, dieses Auf und Ab bestmöglich abzufedern. Während wir im Abschwung aktiv Maßnahmen setzen, um das Know How im Unternehmen zu halten, bauen wir im aktuellen Aufschwung unsere Mannschaft schrittweise aus. Ein ansprechendes Arbeitsumfeld und attraktive Bonifikationsmodelle bringen neue Fachkräfte an Bord und halten unsere Experten langfristig im Unternehmen. An unserem Standort in Ternitz haben wir eine spezifische Lehrlingsausbildung implementiert und bilden damit junge Menschen zu den Facharbeitern von morgen aus. Durch diesen Fokus auf unser Experten-Team gewährleisten wir Top-Qualität in der Produktion.
Das Wachstum der Weltwirtschaft verlangsamte sich im abgelaufenen Geschäftsjahr. Laut aktuellen Schätzungen des Internationalen Währungsfonds (IWF) lag das globale Wirtschaftswachstum 2019 bei 2,9 %, nach 3,6 % im Vorjahr. Die Weltkonjunktur entwickelte sich damit so schwach wie seit der globalen Finanzkrise 2009 nicht mehr. Negativ wirkten sich vor allem der Handelsstreit zwischen den USA und China, zunehmende Handelsbarrieren sowie eine wachsende Unsicherheit infolge geopolitischer Risiken aus. Der Abschwung vollzog sich über die Regionen hinweg: Sowohl das Wirtschaftswachstum der Industrienationen (1,7 %, nach 2,2 % in 2018) als auch die Wachstumsraten der Schwellenländer (3,7 %, nach 4,5 % in 2018) waren 2019 rückläufig.1
Die durchschnittliche globale Öl-Nachfrage stieg im Jahr 2019 laut Internationaler Energie Agentur (IEA) um 0,8 Millionen Barrel pro Tag (mb/d) oder 0,8 % auf 100,1 mb/d (2018: 99,3 mb/d). Während sich die Nachfrage in den Nicht-OECD Staaten um 1,1 mb/d oder 2,1 % auf 52,5 mb/d leicht erhöhte (2018: 51,4 mb/d), war sie in den OECD Staaten im Jahresvergleich mit 47,6 mb/d leicht rückläufig (2018: 47,9 mb/d). Über das Gesamtjahr gesehen hielten sich Nachfrage nach Rohöl (100,1 mb/d) und Produktion (100,5 mb/d) nahezu die Waage. Dabei sank die OPEC Produktion im Jahr 2019 auf 35,5 mb/d, in den Nicht-OPEC Staaten stieg sie auf 65,0 mb/d. Die im Dezember 2018 beschlossene Produktionskürzung der OPEC-Staaten (einschließlich Partnerstaaten) wurde Mitte des Jahres verlängert. Um den Ölmarkt zu stabilisieren und die Preise zu stützen, einigte sich die OPEC+-Allianz am 6. Dezember 2019 auf eine Förderkürzung von insgesamt 2,1 mb/d.2

Auch das Marktumfeld der Oilfield Service-Industrie war 2019 vom Handelskonflikt zwischen China und den USA sowie der Befürchtung einer weiteren konjunkturellen Abschwächung belastet. Die Marktentwicklung verlief regional unterschiedlich: Während der Aufwärtstrend an den internationalen Märkten anhielt, war der nordamerikanische Markt von einer restriktiven Investitionspolitik der Explorations- und Produktionsgesellschaften geprägt und schwächte sich zusehends ab. Der weltweite Rig Count sank im Verlauf des Jahres 2019 um 9,0 % auf 2.043 Anlagen (Dezember 2018: 2.244 Anlagen). Ursache für diesen Rückgang war in erster Linie der US-Rig Count, der sich um 25,4 % auf 804 Anlagen verringerte (Dezember 2018: 1.078 Anlagen). Auch in Kanada zeigte sich der Abwärtstrend in einem Rückgang des Rig Counts um 4,3 % auf 135 Anlagen im Dezember 2019. International gab es einen Anstieg um 7,7 % auf 1.104 Anlagen (Dezember 2018: 1.025 Anlagen), hauptsächlich bedingt durch die positive Entwicklung in Europa und dem Mittleren Osten – sowohl auf dem Festland als auch auf See ("Offshore"). Während der US-Rig Count über das gesamte Jahr hinweg kontinuierlich abnahm, stieg die Anzahl der internationalen Bohranlagen insbesondere im ersten Halbjahr 2019 an und flachte zum Jahresende hin leicht ab.3 Der Bestand gebohrter, aber noch nicht komplettierter Bohrlöcher (sogenannte Drilled but Uncompleted Wells / DUCs) verzeichnete bis zur Jahresmitte 2019 einen Anstieg und begann sich in der zweiten Jahreshälfte aufgrund geringerer Aktivität abzubauen. Der Bestand erreichte in den Vereinigten Staaten im Dezember 2019 eine Anzahl von 7.716 Einheiten (Dezember 2018: 8.010 Einheiten).4
Die Entwicklung der Ölpreise zeigte im Jahresverlauf starke Volatilitäten. Ende des Jahres 2019 lagen die Preise nach der Teileinigung im Handelsstreit zwischen den USA und China im Plus. Die Nordseemarke Brent startete mit einem Kurs von USD 53,80 in das Jahr 2019 und schloss Ende Dezember mit einem Kurs von USD 66,00; dies entspricht einer Steigerung um 22,7 %. Der Kurs der nordamerikanischen Rohölsorte WTI stieg im Jahr 2019 von USD 45,41 auf USD 61,06, eine Steigerung von 34,5 %.5
Die weltweiten Ausgaben für Exploration und Produktion (E&P-Ausgaben) stiegen im Jahr 2019 um 3 %, wobei die stärkeren Aktivitäten am internationalen Markt die restriktive Investitionspolitik in Nordamerika ausglichen. So betrug der Anstieg der E&P-Ausgaben international 6 %, Nordamerika verzeichnete aufgrund der hohen Kostendisziplin der Explorations- und Produktionsgesellschaften hingegen einen Rückgang um 6 %. Dieser ging auf ein Minus der E&P-Ausgaben von 6 % in den USA sowie 9 % in Kanada zurück.6
SBO verzeichnete ein solides Geschäftsjahr 2019. Die breite strategische Positionierung des Unternehmens bewährte sich in einem sehr dynamischen Marktumfeld. Die Nachfrage nach den hochqualitativen Produkten und Leistungen von SBO sorgte für positive Ergebnisse. Durch das gut ausgebaute internationale Geschäft konnte SBO die Schwäche des nordamerikanischen Marktes zu einem Gutteil kompensieren.
Der Umsatz stieg gegenüber dem Vorjahr um 6,0 % auf MEUR 445,3 (2018: MEUR 420,2). Der Auftragseingang lag bei MEUR 467,2, nach MEUR 481,9 im Jahr 2018. Der Auftragsstand

Ende 2019 erhöhte sich auf MEUR 123,0 (31. Dezember 2018: MEUR 97,7). Das Ergebnis vor Zinsen, Steuern und Abschreibungen (EBITDA) belief sich auf MEUR 108,6 (2018: MEUR 120,0). Das Betriebsergebnis (EBIT) betrug MEUR 60,2 (2018: MEUR 46,9 7 ). Der Vorjahreswert beinhaltet eine nicht cash-wirksame, rückwirkende Berichtigung des Firmenwerts einer Tochtergesellschaft in Höhe von MEUR 23,9 zum 31. Dezember 2018. Die EBITDA-Marge lag bei 24,4 % (2018: 28,6 %), die EBIT-Marge bei 13,5 % (2018: 11,2 % 7 ).
Das Finanzergebnis 2019 belief sich auf MEUR minus 12,3 (2018: MEUR minus 14,8). Das Ergebnis vor Steuern betrug MEUR 47,9 (2018: MEUR 32,0 7 ), das Ergebnis nach Steuern kam zu Jahresende bei MEUR 32,3 zu liegen (2018: MEUR 17,5 7 ). Das Ergebnis je Aktie lag bei EUR 2,03 (2018: EUR 1,10 7 ).
SBO verfügt über eine solide Bilanzstruktur: Das Eigenkapital erhöhte sich auf MEUR 370,1 (2018: MEUR 344,8 7 ). Die Eigenkapitalquote von SBO belief sich Ende 2019 auf 42,3 % (2018: 39,3 % 7 ), die Nettoverschuldung reduzierte sich auf MEUR 20,1 (2018: MEUR 62,5). Dementsprechend sank auch das Gearing von 18,1 % auf 5,4 % zum Ende des Jahres 2019. Der Bestand an liquiden Mitteln betrug MEUR 265,2 (2018: MEUR 241,5). Der operative Cashflow verdreifachte sich nahezu und hielt zu Jahresende bei MEUR 98,1 (2018: MEUR 33,4). Der freie Cashflow erhöhte sich von MEUR minus 0,3 im Jahr 2018 auf MEUR 63,8 im Jahr 2019, trotz der angefallenen Zahlungen für den Erwerb von Minderheitenanteilen in Höhe von MEUR 30,1. Die Investitionen in Sachanlagevermögen und immaterielle Vermögenswerte (CAPEX) stiegen auf MEUR 31,5 (2018: MEUR 35,9). Am 31. Dezember 2019 betrug das Bestellobligo für Sachanlagen MEUR 5,0 (2018: MEUR 2,1).
Der Vorstand schlägt der Hauptversammlung am 23. April 2020 für das Geschäftsjahr 2019 die Erhöhung der Dividende auf EUR 1,20 je Aktie vor (2018: EUR 1,00 je Aktie).

Das Geschäft von SBO gliedert sich in die beiden berichtspflichtigen Segmente "Advanced Manufacturing & Services" (AMS) und "Oilfield Equipment" (OE):
Das Segment "Advanced Manufacturing & Services" (AMS) zog 2019 aufgrund der Belebung des internationalen Marktes stark an. Gegenüber dem Vorjahr stieg der Umsatz 2019 um 30,5 % auf MEUR 223,8 (2018: MEUR 171,5). Das Betriebsergebnis (EBIT) vor Sondereffekten erhöhte sich auf MEUR 33,9 (2018: MEUR 22,7).
Im Segment "Oilfield Equipment" (OE) zeigte sich die Marktschwäche Nordamerikas. Der Umsatz betrug MEUR 221,5 (2018: MEUR 248,7) und das Betriebsergebnis (EBIT) vor Sondereffekten MEUR 28,7 (2018: MEUR 55,2).
Der Internationale Währungsfonds (IWF) prognostiziert für das Jahr 2020 ein weltweites Wirtschaftswachstum von 3,3 %, für das Jahr 2021 soll die Wachstumsrate 3,4 % betragen (nach 2,9 % in 2019 und 3,6 % in 2018). Die Wirtschaft der Industriestaaten soll im Jahr 2020 um 1,6 % wachsen (nach 1,7 % in 2019 und 2,2 % in 2018). Für das Wirtschaftswachstum in den Schwellen- und Entwicklungsländern erwartet der IWF 2020 einen Anstieg um 4,4 %, nach 3,7 % in 2019 und 4,5 % in 2018. Diese Prognosen hängen in hohem Maße von den Entwicklungen der Handelsbeziehungen zwischen den USA und China sowie der Vermeidung weiterer Eskalationen ab, vor allem im Mittleren Osten.8 Des Weiteren gilt es abzuwarten, welche langfristigen ökonomischen Folgen der Corona Virus mit sich bringt, der sich ausgehend von China zu Jahresbeginn 2020 global auf die Märkte auswirkte.
Die Internationale Energieagentur (IEA) geht für 2020 von einem weiteren Anstieg des Ölbedarfs aus: So soll die Nachfrage nach Öl um 0,9 mb/d auf 101,0 mb/d steigen. In den OECD Staaten soll die durchschnittliche Öl-Nachfrage mit 47,8 mb/d um 0,2 mb/d über dem Wert vom Jahr 2019 liegen. Für die Nicht-OECD Staaten wird eine Steigerung der durchschnittlichen Nachfrage um 0,6 mb/d auf insgesamt 53,1 mb/d erwartet. Die Produktion der Nicht-OPEC Staaten soll sich um 2,0 mb/d auf 67,0 mb/d erhöhen. Die OPEC Staaten (einschließlich ihrer Partnerstaaten) dürften sich weiterhin als Regulator der Rohöl-Produktion positionieren und haben sich zuletzt am 6. Dezember 2019 auf eine Förderkürzung von insgesamt 2,1 mb/d geeinigt.9
Auf den internationalen Märkten gehen Experten in der Oilfield Service-Industrie von einer Fortsetzung des Wachstumstrends aus, wenngleich es weiterhin zu regionalen Unterschieden kommen kann. Nach Jahren der Krise in der Öl- und Gasindustrie stellt sich zunehmend das Bewusstsein ein, Investitionen tätigen zu müssen, um mittelfristig keine Versorgungsengpässe zu erzeugen – unter der Voraussetzung, dass sich die Weltwirtschaft einigermaßen solide entwickelt. Im Gegensatz dazu wird in Nordamerika zumindest kurzfristig ein weiterer Rückgang der Investitionen in Öl- und Gasprojekte erwartet. Das US-Produktionswachstum dürfte sich im Jahr 2020 deutlich verlangsamen, was auf eine erhöhte Kostendisziplin und einen daraus resultierenden Rückgang der Aktivitäten zurückzuführen ist.
Für 2020 rechnen anerkannte Banken und Analysehäuser bei den globalen Ausgaben für Exploration und Produktion (E&P-Ausgaben) mit einem moderaten Wachstum von 2 %. Treiber ist der internationale Markt, wo die E&P-Ausgaben um 5 % steigen sollten. Für Nordamerika erwarten die Analysten hingegen einen Rückgang von 6 %. In den USA sollen es sogar minus 7 % sein, wobei einige Marktteilnehmer zuletzt mit noch pessimistischeren Erwartungen in das Jahr gestartet sind.10

Trotz kurzfristiger Unsicherheiten bleiben die langfristigen Wachstumsaussichten intakt. SBO geht bei anhaltender Konjunktur von einer weiteren Ankurbelung des Investitionsverhaltens auf den internationalen Märkten aus. Besonders hier gilt es das Momentum zu nutzen. Für SBO wird es erfolgsentscheidend sein, auf Basis der langen Erfahrung des Unternehmens gut durch die unterschiedlichen Zyklen auf den Märkten zu navigieren. Daneben liegt der Fokus auf weiteren effizienzsteigernden Maßnahmen sowie dem Heben der Synergien, die durch die Zusammenführung der beiden Tochtergesellschaften Downhole Technology und Resource Well Completion Technologies zu "The WellBoss Company" entstanden sind.
Insgesamt ist SBO als Technologie- und Qualitätsführer gut positioniert und arbeitet kontinuierlich an der Umsetzung ihrer nachhaltigen Wachstumsstrategie. Die Investitionen in Forschung und Entwicklung sowie die solide Positionierung in anspruchsvollen Nischen sichern auch in Zukunft die Vorreiterstellung von SBO.
Die SCHOELLER-BLECKMANN OILFIELD EQUIPMENT Aktiengesellschaft fungiert als strategische Managementholding für ihre Tochtergesellschaften. Ein wesentliches Aufgabengebiet der Holding ist, sich mit den strategischen und operativen Risiken auseinander zu setzen und rechtzeitig Maßnahmen zur Optimierung dieser Risiken zu setzen. Ein konzernweites Reporting-System unterstützt den Vorstand der SBO AG beim laufenden Monitoring des operativen Geschäftes und damit der Einschätzung operativer Risiken der Tochtergesellschaften. Die strategischen Risiken werden in Zusammenhang mit der jährlichen Erstellung der Mittelfristplanung zwischen dem Vorstand der SBO AG und den Geschäftsführern der Tochtergesellschaften erörtert und bewertet.
Die Ausleihungen wurden nur an verbundene Unternehmungen gewährt und sind fix verzinst. Diese lauten auf USD und unterliegen daher Fremdwährungsschwankungen. Ebenso besteht der Großteil der sonstigen Forderungen aus langfristigen verzinslichen Forderungen in USD und GBP.
Die liquiden Mittel bestehen aus Guthaben bei österreichischen Banken mit marktkonformer Verzinsung.
Überwiegend alle zum Bilanzstichtag bestehenden langfristigen Bankverbindlichkeiten werden fix verzinst und unterliegen daher keinem Zinsänderungsrisiko.
Aufgrund der derzeitig verfügbaren liquiden Mittel bestehen aus heutiger Sicht keine Liquiditäts-Probleme.
Die Gesellschaft verwendet keine derivativen Finanzinstrumente.
Mit unseren Innovationen sorgen wir dafür, dass Kunden von SBO immer einen Schritt voraus sind. Um unsere Vorreiter-Rolle auszubauen, betreiben wir konsequent Forschung und Entwicklung (F&E) und investieren stark in diesen Bereich. Mit modernsten Technologien bietet SBO Kunden sowie dem Markt zukunftsweisende Lösungen, die unser Wachstum fördern und gleichzeitig nachhaltig sind.
Gemäß dem Leitgedanken "Quality First" entwickeln wir mit unserer innovativen Mannschaft effizientere und damit schonendere Produkte. Wir forcieren präzise Bohrungen und reduzieren mit unseren Produkten beispielsweise die Notwendigkeit eines häufigen Ein- und Ausfahrens des Bohrstranges. Damit sinkt der Gesamtaufwand für unsere Kunden ebenso wie mögliche Risiken für die Umwelt.
Als Weltmarktführer haben wir auch 2019 unsere Innovationen gezielt vorangetrieben:
• Bei unseren Hochpräzisionskomponenten arbeiten wir kontinuierlich an Verbesserungen. Mit einer Weiterentwicklung der Hammer Peening-Technologie haben wir nun auch die Möglichkeit, die Außendurchmesser von langen Bohrstrangkomponenten zu behandeln und dadurch eine Verbesserung der Lebensdauer des Bohrstranges zu erreichen. Dafür wurde durch unser Engineering ein eigenes Werkzeug entwickelt, welches auf bestehenden Maschinen eingesetzt werden kann. Beim Tieflochbohren wurde ein Echtzeit Prozessmonitoring System entwickelt. Durch dieses System kann der Fertigungsprozess stabiler gehalten und Prozessunterbrechungen verhindert werden.
Mit diesen und vielen weiteren Innovationen, die in unserem weltweiten Netzwerk in Entwicklung sind, arbeiten wir aktiv an unserer Qualitätsführerschaft.
Die Gesamtverantwortung für das Risikomanagement der SBO-Gruppe liegt beim Vorstand, während die unmittelbare Verantwortung bei den Geschäftsführern der operativen Einheiten liegt. Demzufolge besitzt das interne laufende Berichtswesen an die Konzernzentrale besonders hohe Bedeutung, um Risiken frühzeitig erkennen und Gegenmaßnahmen ergreifen zu können. Dies erfolgt durch eine zeitnahe monatliche Berichterstattung über die Geschäftsentwicklung und Gebarung von den operativen Einheiten an den Vorstand.
Für die Tochterunternehmen wurden vom Konzern weltweit einheitliche Vorgaben für die Umsetzung und Dokumentation des gesamten internen Kontrollsystems und damit vor allem auch für den Rechnungslegungsprozess vorgegeben. Dadurch sollen jene Risiken vermieden werden, die zu einer unvollständigen oder fehlerhaften Finanzberichterstattung führen können.
Weiters werden die von den Tochtergesellschaften erstellten internen Berichte in der Konzernzentrale auf Plausibilität geprüft und mit Planungsrechnungen verglichen, um bei Abweichungen geeignete Maßnahmen setzen zu können. Hierzu werden von den Gesellschaften Jahresbudgets und Mittelfristplanungen angefordert, welche vom Vorstand genehmigt werden müssen.
Die Ordnungsmäßigkeit des Rechnungswesens bei den Tochtergesellschaften wird durch laufende Prüfungstätigkeiten des Konzerncontrollings überwacht. Auch im Zuge der internen Revision werden schwerpunktmäßige Prüfungen über das Rechnungswesen durchgeführt. Weiters werden alle Jahresabschlüsse durch internationale Prüfungsgesellschaften geprüft.
Im Zuge von regelmäßigen Sitzungen des Vorstandes mit den lokalen Geschäftsführungen werden die laufende Geschäftsentwicklung sowie absehbare Chancen und Risiken besprochen.
Für die Erstellung des Konzernabschlusses bestehen in Ergänzung zu den Internationalen Rechnungslegungsvorschriften konzerninterne Richtlinien, um eine einheitliche Darstellung bei den berichtenden Gesellschaften zu gewährleisten (Bewertungs- und Ausweisfragen).
Für die automationsunterstützte Aufstellung des Konzernabschlusses wird ein zertifiziertes Konsolidierungsprogramm verwendet, welches mit den notwendigen Prüf- und Konsolidierungsroutinen ausgestattet ist.
Die für den Konzern dargestellten Merkmale des internen Kontrollsystems und des Risikomanagementsystems im Hinblick auf den Rechnungslegungsprozess sind auch uneingeschränkt für die Holdinggesellschaft anwendbar. Für das Rechnungswesen der Holdinggesellschaft sind ebenfalls anerkannte Standardprogramme im Einsatz.
