Letter to Shareholders

Dear Shareholders,

Results for the first quarter of the current 2018/19 financial year show that the Zumtobel Group has taken the right strategic steps to stabilise the business and restore its radiance. We recorded a profit for the first time in three quarters in spite of the ongoing intensive price competition. This positive development was based, above all, on the efficiency and cost savings measures introduced by the new Management Board team, which led to a significant improvement in our cost structure.

The difficult industry environment, intense price competition and substantial declines in Great Britain, the most important single market for the Zumtobel Group, continue to have a negative effect on revenues. Group revenues declined by 7.6% year-on-year (FX-adjusted: 5.6%) to EUR 293.1 million. However, business development in the Components Segment was promising: for the first time in ten quarters, revenues increased slightly by 0.6% (FX-adjusted: plus 3.2%) over the previous year in the first quarter of 2018/19. The strong demand for Tridonic's intelligent LED components more than offset the declining sales of conventional electronic ballasts. The measures introduced by the new Management Board team in spring 2018 to stabilise the business led to a significant improvement in the cost basis for sales and administration during the first quarter of 2018/19. This cost reduction resulted, in particular, from the streamlining of the management teams as well as strict cost management. Against this background, adjusted Group EBIT amounted to EUR 10.0 million (previous year: EUR 18.2 million). The cost saving measures reduced fixed costs and again led to clear positive net profit of EUR 2.8 million (previous year: EUR 9.7 million).

Zumtobel Group strategy: Focus as the key principle for repositioning

The first quarter of 2018/19 shows that we have returned to the right course. This is, however, only the start of a stable foundation for future profitable growth. We have set a goal with our new strategy to become the market leader in our target markets and application areas. In order to do this, we must increase our concentration on our core expertise. The key to our repositioning is: Focus. The Zumtobel Group's strategy comprises five strategic elements, all of which are derived from this strategic core term:

Focus on Markets & Applications: We will concentrate on our target markets and on sustainable, profitable applications. The focus for the Lighting Segment is on Europe, in the Components Segment we see our growth in the global market.

Operational & Process Excellence: In line with our Lean Management approach, we will continue to improve our cost basis in all areas (production, administration and sales). This will also include the increasing digitalisation of our business processes.

Components: We believe in the seamless interplay of components and lighting as the driver for digitalisation and innovation. Therefore, Tridonic represents an integral part of the Zumtobel Group.

Alfred Felder

Unique Brands: The Zumtobel Group has three strong core brands: Zumtobel, Thorn and Tridonic. In the Lighting Segment, we will follow a dual brand strategy (Zumtobel and Thorn) and a clearly differentiated portfolio to establish a successful market position.

Services & Turnkey Solutions: Services & Solutions are an integral part of the Zumtobel Group's Lighting and Components Segments and an important driver for future growth. Innovation takes place in all our products, technologies, services and business processes.

The clear goal of the Zumtobel Group is to create sustainable added value for all stakeholders (shareholders, customers and employees) with this new strategy. The company has set a medium-term target to generate an EBIT margin of approx. 6% by the 2020/21 financial year.

Cautious optimism for the 2018/19 financial year

We see 2018/19 as a year of transition and confirm our previously issued guidance. In view of the challenging market conditions, we expect revenue declines in the first half-year. Our goal for the full 2018/19 financial year is to record a slight year-on-year improvement in adjusted Group EBIT (FY 2017/18: EUR 19.7 million).

Alfred Felder Chief Executive Officer (CEO)

Group Management Report

Development of revenues in the first quarter 2018/19

  • >> Group revenues decline by 7.6% (FX-adjusted: minus 5.6%)
  • >> LED share of Group revenues rises to 81.4% (Q1 2017/18: 77.5%)
  • >> Lighting Segment revenues (FX-adjusted) 8.7% below previous year:
  • >> Components Segment with first revenue increase in 10 quarters (FX-adjusted: plus 3.2%)

FX-adjusted decline of 5.6% in Group revenues

In the first quarter of the 2018/19 financial year (1 May 2018 to 31 July 2018), Group revenues fell by 7.6% year-on-year to EUR 293.1 million (previous year: EUR 317.2 million). Revenue development was influenced by strong negative currency translation effects EUR 6.2 million, which resulted primarily from the increase in the euro versus the Swiss franc, Turkish lira and British pound. After an adjustment for these effects, the revenue decline equalled 5.6% for the reporting period. The LED share of Group revenues increased from 77.5% auf 81.4% during the past 12 months.

Lighting Segment 219.5 244.7 (10.3) (8.7)
Components Segment 89.4 88.8 0.6 3.2
Reconciliation (15.7) (16.4) (3.9)
Zumtobel Group 293.1 317.2 (7.6) (5.6)

Lighting Segment- FXadjusted revenues 8.7% below previous year

In the Lighting Segment, the industry trend still remains difficult. Revenue development was negatively influenced, above all, by significant weakness in Great Britain, the most important single market for the Zumtobel Group, as well as very aggressive price competition. In this environment, revenues in the Lighting Segment fell by 10.3% to EUR 219.5 million (previous year: EUR 244.7 million). After an adjustment for negative foreign exchange effects, revenues were 8.7% lower than the first quarter of the previous year.

Components Segment returns to moderate growth course

Development in the Components Segment was positive, with the first slight year-on-year revenue growth in ten quarters. Revenues rose by 0.6% (FX-adjusted: plus 3.2%) in the first three months of 2018/19. The strong demand for Tridonic's intelligent LED components more than offset the continuing decline in sales of conventional electronic ballasts.

The trends from the previous quarters generally continued during the first quarter of 2018/19. The D/A/CH region, the strongest market in the Zumtobel Group, recorded a 6.1% decline (FX-adjusted: minus 4.1%) in revenues to EUR 88.0 million. Revenues in Switzerland were moderately higher year-on-year (FXadjusted), but declined slightly in Austria and Germany. Revenues in Northern Europe fell by 18.9% to EUR 63.0 million. A further sharp drop in revenues was recorded in Great Britain, especially in the Lighting Segment (circa minus 25%). The Benelux & Eastern Europe region also continued the sound trend from previous years during the reporting period with an increase of 3.9% in revenues (FX-adjusted: plus 8.0%) to EUR 45.1 million. The Southern European region consists primarily of Italy, Spain and France. Italy continued the solid growth from the previous year during the reporting period, but revenue development in France and Spain was slightly lower than the previous year. Revenues in this region rose by 0.2% to EUR 48.8 million. In the Asia & Pacific region, revenues reached the previous year's level (FX-adjusted: plus 0.7%). The difficult political and economic environment in several Middle East countries led to revenue weakness in the Middle East & Africa region, with a decline of 12.6% to EUR 12.7 million in the first three months of 2018/19. The America region reported a decline of 34.2% (FX-adjusted: minus 32.2%) to EUR 5.5 million.

Development of earnings in the first quarter 2018/19

  • >> Adjusted Group EBIT falls to EUR 10.0 million
  • >> Profitability negatively affected by substantial decline in revenues and increasingly aggressive price competition
  • >> Fixed costs favourably influenced by efficiency improvement and savings measures
  • >> Net profit clearly positive at EUR 2.8 million

Group EBIT adjusted for special effects fell to EUR 10.0 million in the first three months of 2018/19 (Q1 2017/18: EUR 18.2 million). This decline was also reflected in the return on sales, which dropped from 5.7% to 3.4%. The deterioration in the Group's profitability during the reporting period is, for the most part, attributable to the Lighting Segment, where adjusted EBIT declined from EUR 13.2 million to EUR 8.1 million. Adjusted EBIT in the Components Segment amounted to EUR 8.1 million EUR (Q1 2017/18: EUR 10.1 million). The Lighting Segment, in particular, was negatively influenced by revenue declines and ongoing aggressive price competition. Adjusted Group EBIT falls to EUR 10.0 million

As a result, the gross profit margin (after development costs) for the Zumtobel Group declined to 31.9% for the reporting period (previous year: 35.4%). Development costs included in the cost of goods sold fell by EUR 1.1 million to EUR 16.6 million (Q1 2017/18: EUR 17.6 million). Decline in

Note: EBITDA (EBIT plus depreciation and amortisation) amounted to EUR 20.9 million in the first quarter of 2018/19.

Substantial decline in selling and administrative costs

The efficiency improvement and cost savings measures implemented in spring 2018 led to a substantial reduction in selling and administrative expenses during the reporting period. Selling expenses (incl. research) fell by EUR 7.4 million to EUR 74.2 million in the first quarter (Q1 2017/18: EUR 81.6 million), and administrative expenses declined by EUR 2.3 million to EUR 10.7 million (Q1 2017/18: EUR 13.0 million). This reduction was supported, above all, by the substantial streamlining of the management team and strict cost management. Other operating results, excluding special effects, rose to EUR 1.5 million (Q1 2017/18: EUR 0.6 million) due to higher license income from the LED business.

Negative special effects of EUR 2.7 million were recorded in the first quarter of 2018/19 (Q1 2017/18 EUR 1.1 million). These effects are related primarily to costs for management restructuring measures and the write-off of a previously capitalised development project following the adjustment of the product portfolio.

Improvement in financial results

Financial results improved by EUR 1.5 million year-on-year to minus EUR 2.8 million (Q1 2017/18: minus EUR 4.3 million). Interest expense is attributable primarily to the current credit agreement and to finance leases. Other financial income and expenses totalled minus EUR 1.2 million (Q1 2017/18: minus EUR 2.6 million). The fluctuations in the fair value measurement of financial instruments reflect the high volatility on the foreign exchange market, above all in connection with the Swiss franc, Turkish lira, British pound and US dollar.

Earnings per share for the shareholders of Zumtobel Group AG (basic EPS based on 43.1 million shares) equalled plus EUR 0.06 (Q1 2017/18: plus EUR 0.22).

Cash flow from operating results fell from EUR 29.7 million in the first quarter of the previous year to EUR 21.0 million due to the decline in profitability. Working capital totalled EUR 195.7 million as of 31 July 2018 and was EUR 37.9 million below the level on 31 July 2017. As a percent of rolling 12-month revenues, working capital declined from 18.0% to 16.7% year-on-year. The seasonal increase in working capital during the reporting period was substantially lower than the previous year due to the decline in revenues and strict receivables management. The receivables sold through factoring amounted to EUR 71.0 million as of 31 July 2018 (30 April 2018: EUR 57.9 million). Cash outflows from the changes in other operating positions totalled EUR 3.4 million (Q1 2017/18: minus EUR 16.5 million). Cash flow from operating activities therefore improved from minus EUR 6.5 million to plus 8.3 million during the reporting period.

These expenditures consisted mainly of tools and equipment for new products, expansion and maintenance investments as well as capitalised research and development costs (EUR 3.2 million). A total of EUR 6.5 million was spent on the new production plant in Serbia during the first quarter of 2018/19. The increase in cash flow from operating activities and the

Cautious optimism for the 2018/19 financial year – Guidance confirmed

We see 2018/19 as a year of transition and confirm our previously issued guidance. In view of the challenging market conditions, we expect revenue declines in the first half-year. Our goal for the full 2018/19 financial year is to record a slight year-on-year improvement in adjusted Group EBIT (FY 2017/18: EUR 19.7 million).

Zumtobel Group AG has adjusted the scope of the interim reports due to the changed requirements of the "Prime Market Rules" of the Vienna Stock Exchange for first and third quarter interim reporting. The adjustment particularly relates to the notes to the consolidated financial statements as required by IAS 34. Financial information presented in the interim report for the first quarter of 2018/19 is fundamentally based on the same accounting and valuation methods underlying the consolidated financial statements of the Zumtobel Group AG for the 2017/18 financial year, with the exception from first time application of IFRS 9 Financial instruments and IFRS 15 Revenues from contract with customers. There was no material impact on the presentation of the financial statement.

Disclaimer

This quarterly financial report includes statements on future developments, which are based on information available at the present time and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause the results realised at a later date to vary from these forward-looking statements. These statements on future developments are not to be under-stood as guarantees. On the contrary, future developments and results are dependent on a wide range of factors and connected with various risks and incalculable events. Moreover, they are based on assumptions that may prove to be incorrect. Included here, for example, are unforeseeable changes in the political, economic and business environment, especially in the regions where the Zumtobel Group operates, as well as the competitive situation, interest rates and foreign exchange rates, technological developments and other risks and incalculable events. Other risks may arise as a result of price developments, unforeseeable events in the operating environments of acquired companies or Group companies as well as ongoing cost optimisation programmes. The Zumtobel Group does not plan to update these forward-looking statements. This interim financial report is also presented in English, but only the German text is binding.
