SKAKO is experiencing improved results compared to Q4 2020 as the company is gradually recovering from the negative impact from Covid-19. This development is expected to continue through the rest of 2021.
Compared to Q1 2020 where the impact from Covid-19 was limited SKAKO had lower key financials.
Due to the difficult year over year comparison related to the impact on the business from Covid-19, we include quarter over quarter progress to show that we are gradually recovering from the negative impact from the pandemic. This comparison will be made for the rest of 2021.

As expected, SKAKO was still impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic in Q1 2021. However, after seeing decreasing revenue and EBIT-margins in H2 2020, we are now seeing improvements compared to Q4 2020. Compared to Q4 2020, revenue in Q1 2021 increased with 3.2% and the EBIT-margin increased from 2.6% in Q4 2020 to 4.0% in Q1 2021. We expect this development to continue through 2021. Q1 2020 was a very strong quarter that was only impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic in the last part of March while the entire Q1 2021 has been impacted. As a result, we have realized lower EBIT and EBIT-margin compared to Q1 2020. Since we expect the activity to return to the levels seen before Covid-19, we have chosen not to reduce the fixed cost base to same extent the decline in revenue resulting in a lower EBIT and EBIT-margin compared to Q1 2020. This is in accordance with our expectations for 2021 where we expect the majority of earnings to be realized in the second half of 2021 as business conditions improve. Despite a decline of 21.3% in revenue in Q1 2021 compared to Q1 2020, SKAKO Concrete managed to improve the EBIT-margin from 3.7% in Q1 2020 to 5.4% in Q1 2021 driving an improved result compared to Q1 2020. SKAKO Vibration had a slow start to 2021 but has seen activity and performance improve through Q1 2021. This development is expected to continue through Q2 2021. For a detailed financial review of each division, please see section 2.1 for SKAKO Concrete and section 3.1 for SKAKO Vibration.
Compared to Q4 2020 revenue increased with 3.2% while revenue decreased with 12.1% in Q1 2021 compared to the same period last year. The decrease in revenue was realized in both divisions where SKAKO Concrete realized a decrease of 21.3% while SKAKO Vibration realized a decrease of 2.1% compared to Q1 2020.
Compared to Q4 2020 the gross profit margin increased with 4.9 percentage points. The improved gross profit margin is driven by improved project execution in SKAKO Concrete and a favourable product mix in Q1 2021 compared to Q4 2020. While revenue decreased with 12.1%, production costs decreased with 12.3% in Q1 2021 compared to the same period last year. This led to a gross profit margin of 24.5% in Q1 2021 (24.4% in Q1 2020) which represents an increase in gross profit margin of 0.1 percentage points compared to Q1 2020. The increase in gross profit margin is mainly due to an improvement of gross profit margin on plant orders and a favourable product mix in the Concrete Division. SKAKO Vibration realized a lower gross profit margin due to a lower revenue and execution of plant orders with lower margins.
Due to increased sales activities, to support future growth and increased cost for communication and visual identity, we have seen increased capacity costs compared to Q4 2020. Distribution costs decreased with 13.9% in Q1 2021 compared to the same period last year, and administrative expenses increased by 11.1% in Q1 2021 compared to Q1 2020. The decrease in distribution expenses in Q1 2021 is primarily due to limited traveling and exhibition activities compared to Q1 2020 while the increase in administrative costs is due to increased costs for communication and visual identity.
Operating profit (EBIT) for Q1 2021 amounted to DKK 3.5m compared to DKK 2.2m in Q4 2020 and DKK 5.6m in Q1 2020. The lower operating profit (EBIT) in Q1 2021 compared to Q1 2020 is primarily due to a 12.1% decrease in revenue. Since we expect the activity to return to the levels seen before Covid-19, we have chosen not to reduce the fixed cost base to the same extent as the decline in revenue resulting in a lower EBIT and EBIT-margin compared to Q1 2020. The positive results are generated in both divisions where the Concrete Division has realized an EBIT of DKK 2.2m in Q1 2021 compared to an EBIT of DKK 1.9m in Q1 2020 while the Vibration Division has realized an EBIT of DKK 1.9 in Q1 2021 compared to an EBIT of DKK 4.1m in Q1 2020.
In Q1 2021, order intake amounted to DKK 78.5m which is a decrease of 2.1% compared to Q4 2020 and a decrease of 8.2% compared to the same period last year. The order backlog at the beginning of Q2 2021 amounts to DKK 84.5m which is a decline of 12.1% compared to the order backlog at the beginning of Q2 2020. Due to the restrictions and uncertainties resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic our order intake has been limited in Q4 2020 and Q1 2021. We expect this to improve in the rest of 2021 to support our expectations to the year.
In the first three months of 2021, SKAKO generated cash flow from operating activities (CFFO) of DKK -6.8m compared to DKK 14.7m in Q4 2020 and DKK -5.1m in Q1 2020. The negative cash flow is primarily due to an increase in receivables from customer contracts that have not yet reached contractual milestones for invoicing while we have also reduced trade payables and seen a small increase in inventories.
The Group's equity was DKK 132.4m on 31 March 2021 (DKK 128.9m on 31 March 2020) corresponding to an equity ratio of 40.9% (40.9% on 31 March 2020). The increase in equity compared to the beginning of 2021 (DKK 129.3 on 31 December 2020) is mainly due to profit for the period of DKK 2.3m and a favourable development in exchange rates for USD and GBP.
As of 31 March 2021, return on invested capital (rolling four quarters) amounted to 8.3% compared to 13.5% as of 31 March 2020. The reduction in return on invested capital is due to the lower result in period Q2 2020 to Q1 2021 that was impacted by Covid-19 compared to the period Q2 2019 to Q1 2020 and an increase in average invested capital. Average invested capital increased as a result of investments in Dartek and Conparts in Q4 2019 and Q4 2020.
As of 31 March 2021, the Group's assets totalled DKK 323.5m (31 March 2020: 315.4m). The increase in assets is primarily due an increase in cash.
Non-current assets increased by DKK 1.3m and amounted to DKK 82.4m (31 March 2020: DKK 81.1), while current assets increased by DKK 6.8m to DKK 241.1m (31 March 2020: DKK 234.3m).
Net debt increased by DKK 12.9m and totalled DKK 47.0m on 31 March 2021 (31 March 2020: DKK 34.1m). The increase in net debt is due to the acquisition of Conparts ApS in Q4 2020 and a negative cash flow from operations in Q1 2021. The ratio of net debt to EBITDA amounts to 2.1 compared to 1.3 on 31 March 2020 and 1.7 at the end of 2020. It is our ambition to keep the ratio of net debt to EBITDA below 2.5.
Current liabilities amounted to DKK 153.5m (31 March 2020: DKK 161.0m). The decrease in current liabilities is primarily due to a reduction in trade payables, prepayments from customers on construction contracts and other payables while banks loans and credit facilities has increased.
There have been no events that materially affect the assessment of this interim report after the balance sheet date and up to today.
We maintain our guidance for 2021 as communicated in the annual report.
Based on market and business conditions, we are guiding for an operating profit (EBIT) of DKK 18-23m in 2021. Our expectations are back-end loaded, and we therefore expect the majority of earnings to be realized in H2 2021.
Due to the dynamic and unpredictable development of the Covid-19 situation and its effects on economies, this guidance is subject to a higher-than-normal degree of uncertainty.
The guidance is based on the assumption of continued gradual improvements of the market conditions during 2021 with no new material adverse events affecting the global economies.
The interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim financial reporting, as adopted by the EU and further Danish disclosure requirements in respect of interim reports for listed companies.
The accounting policies used for the interim report are the same as the accounting policies used for Annual Report 2020 to which we refer for a full description. The Group has adopted all new, amended and revised accounting standards and interpretations as published by the IASB and adopted by the EU effective for the accounting period beginning on 1 January 2021. We refer to the notes to the annual report for a description of material estimates and assumptions.
Compared with the description in Annual Report 2020, there have been no changes in the accounting estimates and assumptions made by Management in the preparation of the interim report.
Financial ratios are calculated as follows: • Gross profit margin = Gross profit x 100 / Revenue • Profit margin = EBIT x 100 / Revenue • Liquidity ratio = Total current assets x 100 / Total current liabilities • Equity ratio = Total equity x 100 / Total assets • Return on equity = Profit for the period x 100 / (Equity this year + equity prior year) / 2* • Financial leverage = Net interest-bearing debt x 100 / Equity • Net debt to EBITDA = Net debt / EBITDA (EBIT less depreciations)* • NWC/Revenue = Net working capital x 100 / Revenue* • Earnings per share = Profit for the period / Shares in free flow • Equity value per share = Equity / Total shares • Share price = Share price at end of period • Price-book ratio = Share price / Equity per share • Market capitalization = Total number of share x Share price • ROIC = NOPAT / (Invested capital this year + invested capital prior year) / 2* • NOPAT = Profit for the period +/- net financial income* • Invested capital = Total assets - net cash and credits - deferred tax assets – non-interest-bearing current liabilities

The reoccurrence of Covid-19 in Q4 2020 still impacted SKAKO Concrete in Q1 2021. Despite a decrease in revenue compared to Q1 and Q4 2020, SKAKO Concrete managed to increase the EBIT-margin compared to both quarters. The EBIT-margin was realized with 5.4% in Q1 2021 compared to 1.5% in Q4 2020 and 3.7% in Q1 2020. This is in line with our strategic initiatives presented in the annual report for 2020. The lower plant order intake in Q4 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic resulted in a decrease in revenue from plant orders in Q1 2021. This is in accordance with our expectations for 2021 where we also expect order intake to increase through the rest of 2021 as restrictions and uncertainties from Covid-19 are expected to ease.
Revenue from plant orders decreased with 39.8% while aftersales revenue increased with 2.2% compared to Q1 2020. In total, revenue decreased with 21.3% compared to Q1 2020. The decrease in revenue from plant orders is mainly due to a lower order backlog at the beginning of 2021 compared to the beginning of 2020. Also, revenue from plant orders in Q1 2020 was higher than usual. Gross profit and gross profit margin were realized with DKK 8.5m and 21.3% compared to DKK 8.9m and 17.5% in Q1 2020. The increase in gross profit margin is mainly due to improved margins on plant orders and revenue mix between plant orders and aftersales. Aftersales revenue has a higher contribution margin than revenue from plant orders.
EBIT and EBIT-margin were realized with DKK 2.2m and 5.4% compared to DKK 1.9m and 3.7% in Q1 2020. The increase in EBIT and EBIT margin is mainly due to improved margins on plant orders and revenue mix between plant orders and aftersales. Capacity cost savings also contributed towards an improved margin.
Order intake amounted to DKK 35.9 m in Q1 2021 which is an increase of 7.2% compared to Q1 2020. Even though order intake increased compared to Q1 2020, uncertainties resulting from the reoccurrence of Covid-19 in Q4 2020 have also had an effect on order intake in Q1 2021 where final decisions were postponed. As restrictions and uncertainties from Covid-19 are expected to ease through the rest of 2021, we also expect to see order intake improve.
During Q1 2021 we have continued implementation of our strategic master plan and its five overall tracks with individual task forces. Primary focus is on development of primary markets and increased focus on customers and plant orders to provide sustainable solutions and optimized products. Implementation of the strategic master plan is on track.

The reoccurrence of Covid-19 in Q4 2020 still impacted SKAKO Vibration in Q1 2021. However, the hardware segment has seen activity increase compared to Q4 2020 and has shown a strong performance in the last part of Q1 2021. In general, activity and performance have been improving in all segments through Q1 2021 with EBIT-margins also improving through the quarter. With increasing activity in the minerals and recycling segments, we expect this trend to continue through Q2 2021 driving improved earnings for SKAKO Vibration in the rest of 2021. Restrictions and uncertainties in many European countries due to the Covid-19 pandemic resulted in reduced revenue from the minerals and recycling segments. This is, however, in accordance with our expectations for 2021 where we expect to see improved market conditions in the rest of 2021 as restrictions and uncertainties from Covid-19 are expected to ease. As communicated in our guidance for 2021, our expectations for the year are back-end loaded.
Revenue from plant orders decreased with 0.6% while aftersales revenue decreased with 6.2% compared to Q1 2020. In total, revenue decreased with 2.1% compared to Q1 2020. While revenue from plant orders is close to the level from Q1 2020, the decrease in revenue from aftersales is mainly due to uncertainties resulting from the resurgence of Covid-19 in Q4 2020 carrying into Q1 2021.
Gross profit and gross profit margin were realised with DKK 1.9m and 25.4% compared to DKK 4.1m and 29.2% in Q1 2020. The decrease in gross profit is a result of lower revenue and a lower gross profit margin. The lower gross profit margin is due to the fact that we executed and delivered plant orders with high margin in Q1 2020 compared to Q1 2021. Furthermore, the largest decrease in revenue comes from aftersales where we generally obtain higher margins than on plant orders.
EBIT and EBIT margin were realized with DKK 1.9m and 4.0% compared to DKK 4.1m and 8.6% in Q1 2020. The lower EBIT and EBIT margin is mainly due to the decrease in gross profit.
Order intake amounted to DKK 42.8 m in Q1 2021 which is a decrease of 19.1% compared to Q1 2020. Uncertainties resulting from the reoccurrence of Covid-19 have had an effect on order intake in Q1 2021 where final decisions were postponed. As restrictions and uncertainties from Covid-19 are expected to ease through the rest of 2021, we also expect to see order intake improve.
Investments in the hardware segment started to rise again in January compared to end of 2020. This industry segment is strongly linked to the automotive segment which was driven by Chinese growth during this first quarter of the year. Thanks to our strong reputation in this field, we have immediately benefited from the renewed confidence in the future of our customers in terms of order intake but our revenue in this segment in Q1 declined due to the low order intake in the previous quarter.
Although industries of North African countries have not fully restarted in the first quarter of 2021, our share of turnover increased mainly due to the significant orders we received from mineral customers in Q4 2020.
At the start of the year, this segment showed some uncertainties, but the current price rise of raw materials should unblock the situation and significantly increase the level of investments in Europe and Africa.
The share of recycling in our turnover increased considerably last year, in line with SKAKO Vibration's strategy. This share fell slightly during the first quarter 2021 although we were able to continue to deliver the equipment for the large order for Tapojärvi in Italy despite the limitations caused by Covid-19.
The latest figures from our order intake show an upturn in activity in this segment, which is also linked to commodity prices, although less directly than the mineral segment, and we expect to see increased revenue from this segment in the coming quarters.
We have considered and approved the interim report of SKAKO A/S for the period 1 January – 31 March 2021.
The interim report, which has not been audited or reviewed by our auditors, has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim financial reporting, as adopted by the European Union and accounting policies set out in the annual report for 2020 of SKAKO A/S. Furthermore, the interim report for the period 1 January – 31 March 2021 has been prepared in accordance with additional Danish disclosure requirements for interim reports of listed companies.
In our opinion, the interim financial report gives a true and fair view of the Group's assets, liabilities and financial position on 31 March 2021 and of the results of the Group's operations and cash flows for the first three months of 2021.
We also believe that the Management commentary contains a fair review of the development in the Group's business and financial position, the results for the period and the Group's financial position as a whole as well as a description of the principal risks and uncertainties facing SKAKO.
