Management's Review

Company Announcement No 8 of 10 May 2021

The Board of Directors has today adopted the Interim Report for the period 1 October 2020 to 31 March 2021.

Highlights of H1:

Operating results:

  • Revenue amounted to DKK 141,128k thus showing a 12.5% increase on H1 2020/21 compared to H1 2019/20. The main reason for the increase is higher activity in the Building & Construction division and higher sales to Sweden compared to last year.
  • Developments in the Industry Division reflect stable demand for semi-manufactures, despite the lock down due to COVID-19 on the domestic market and growth in the export sector. Especially a few product areas in the visual sector have been declining. The processing area is developing as expected and is at last year's level.
  • The revenue of the Building & Construction Division for both Q1 and Q2 was above the Q1 and Q2 2019/20 figures. It is considered to partly be a consequence of the lock down and the lack of possibilities to travel which causes people to invest more in housing and renovation.
  • Capacity costs have been increasing compared to recent financial year. This is due to continued investments in strategic development areas, such as the processing area and exports, with a view to reinforcing our development going forward.
  • Sales and financial performance for H1 2020/21 have been above the expectations and EBIT increased with DKK 5,3k compared to H1 2019/20

Henning Hess, CEO, comments as follows on the Interim Financial Statements 2020/21:

"We are looking back on a first half year that has been positively affected by COVID-19. Both revenue and earnings have increased and it is mainly due to the following factors:

The lockdown of the community has meant that a large part of the population has worked from home and has had plenty of time for projects in the house and garden. This combined with a very high level of activity in the construction industry has led to increased sale of products for the construction industry.

The change in social behaviour because of COVID-19 has had unforeseen consequences. Extremely rising prices can be seen in many areas of society. The plastic industry is also affected by this, one of the reasons is i.e. that there is significantly less flying, and fuel consumption for cars has decreased during the past year. This produces less kerosene and gasoline. The consequence is that the residual product, with the somewhat smaller kerosene / gasoline production, also has decreased and simplified explained, plastic raw materials are produced from this residual product.

Shortage of plastic raw materials and a rising demand for plastic have resulted in price increases, never seen before. How long this situation will affect us is still very unclear.

So a mix of increasing prices, shortage of products and how the development after a full reopening after COVID-19 will look like, makes the visibility in the markets still difficult".

Financing:

The Company showed negative operating cash flows of DKK 4,410k for H1. This is primarily due to changes in working capital.

Investments:

Total net investments in intangible assets, property, plant and equipment and fixed asset investments aggregated an investment of DKK 4,100k for H1 2020/21 compared to an investment of DKK 3,323k for H1 2019/20. Investments in H1 2020/21 primarily comprised machinery for the processing area and establishment of new parkingarea.

Outlook for H2 2020/21:

Based on the positive result for the first half of the year but with still low visibility in the market for the second half year, the Board of Directors now expects an EBIT result for the financial year 2020/21 within the range of MDKK 12-14 against a previously expected EBIT result of MDKK 8.5- 10. The result before special items is expected within the range of MDKK 14-16 against MDKK 13.4 last year.

Development in the Company's activities

Revenue for the period showed an increase of DKK 15,707k from DKK 125,421k in 2019/20 to DKK 141,128k in 2020/21. The reason for the increase is mainly that H1 2020/21 showed an increase in the Building & Construction Division and higher sales to Sweden.

The revenue of the Industry Division for the period showed an increase of DKK 5,279k from DKK 84,502k in 2019/20 to DKK 89,781k in 2020/21. The reason for the increase is that H1 2020/21 showed a higher demand on the Swedish market compared to the year before. Moreover, a few product areas in the visual sector have been declining but the processing has followed the expectations.

The revenue of the Building & Construction Division showed an increase of DKK 10,427k from DKK 40,920k in 2019/20 to DKK 51,347k in 2020/21 due to higher activity with DIY centres which have not been affected in the same way as other stores from the COVID-19 lock-down. People have not had the opportunity to travel and therefore spent more on house renovation or new projects.

Gross profit for the period showed an increase from H1 2019/20 which is due tohigher revenue but also higher gross margin in percent. Gross profit for 2019/20 amounted to DKK 40,391k and gross profit for 2020/21 amounted to DKK 47,024k. The gross margin ratio showed an increase from 32% in 2019/20 to 33% in 2020/21 despite continued keen competition, partly caused by a changed market approach and different sales mix.

Capacity costs including depreciation and amortisation for the period showed an increase of DKK 1,392k from DKK 38,773k in 2019/20 to DKK 40,165k in 2020/21, which is primarily attributable to continued investments in strategic sales areas with a view to reinforcing our sales development going forward and increased costs due to higher activity.

The Company has incurred costs in H1 which Management does not consider related to the operating activities. These costs have therefore been classified as special items in the income statement. Special items for H1 2020/21 amounted to DKK 1,035k compared to DKK 785k H1 2019/20. The costs in H1 2020/21 relate to demolition of old production building.

Depreciation excl. IFRS 16 showed an increase of DKK 473k from DKK 1,857k in H1 2019/20 to DKK 2,370k in H1 2020/21, which is due to investments in strategic areas.

Net financial expenses for the period showed an increase of DKK 6k in H1 2020/21 and therefore stable compared to last year.

Profit before financial income and expenses and special items amounted to DKK 6,859k for H1 2020/21 compared to DKK 1,618k for H1 2019/20, which partly is due to higher activity in the Building division and higher activity on the Swedish market.

Profit after tax for H1 2020/21 amounted to DKK 4,292k compared to DKK 414k for H1 2019/20.

Balance sheet and capital resources

The balance sheet total at 31 March 2021 showed an increase of DKK 16,719k from 31 March 2020 to DKK 232,066k.

Intangible assets showed a decrease from DKK 54,902k at 31 March 2020 to DKK 53,896k at 31 March 2021. The reduction in intangible assets is attributable to amortisation reduced by investments for the period. The most material intangible asset is goodwill of DKK 53,085k, which is attributable to the acquisitions of the activities in Rodena A/S and Nordisk Plast A/S.

Property, plant and equipment showed an increase of DKK 14,771k to DKK 61,084k due to investments in processing and an upgrade of production facilities and investment in more environmental friendly energy solutions.

Current assets showed an increase of DKK 4,232k to DKK 106,815k from DKK 102,583k.

Inventories showed an increase from DKK 25,685k at 31 March 2020 to DKK 34,083k at 31 March 2021.

Receivables from sales increased due to higher activity level, ending at DKK 51,096k at 31 March 2021 compared to DKK 45,514k at 31 March 2020.

Total liabilities showed an increase from DKK 52,972k to DKK 63,033k due to higher activity level and therefore higher VAT and vendor liabilities.

Cash flows

Operating activities:

Cash flows from operating activities showed a decrease of DKK 9,657k in H1 2020/21 to DKK -4,410k, which is primarily attributable to changes in working capital since the financial profit is higher than last year.

Investing activities:

Cash flows from investing activities showed an increase from DKK 3,258k in H1 2019/20 to DKK 4,410k in H1 2020/21. Investments in machinery for the processing area and new parking area were carried out in the period.

Financing activities:

Cash flows from financing activities showed a decrease of DKK 409k due to instalments on leasing liability.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased to DKK 17,868k at 31 March 2021 compared to DKK 26,791k at 31 March 2020 due to the investments made in H1. The capital resources are considered as satisfactory.

Special risks

Operating risks

Unforeseen price fluctuations and the loss of trading with major customers may affect the Company negatively compared to the earnings expectations; however, these are common risks in a commercial enterprise.

The shut-down in both Denmark and our neighbouring countries due to COVID-19 has had a positive effect in H1 2020/21 because DIY markets have not been closed down to the same degree as other stores. However, based on our experience from H1, we have noted large differences in sales

within the various customer groups. Some are growing steeply while others are feeling the full impact of the Corona crisis repercussions.

Financial risks

The Company does not speculate in financial risks, and thus the Company's risk management is only directed towards control of financial risks that are a direct result of the Company's operations and financing.

The Company has no derivative financial instruments.

Interest rate risks

The Company does not enter into interest rate agreements to hedge against interest rate exposure as moderate changes in the level of interest will not have any material effect on earnings.

Credit risks

The Company's credit risks relate to trade receivables.

It is the Company's policy to take out credit insurance in respect of trade receivables to the extent possible. Trade receivables are assessed on a current basis, and provisions are made when necessary.

Foreign exchange risks

The Company is only to a limited extent exposed to exchange rate developments. Almost all trading takes place in DKK, SEK or EUR. As the foreign exchange risk relating to DKK/EUR is considered very small, the Company does not hedge its net debt in EUR. The company receives payments from sales to Sweden which is done in SEK but this risk is considered minimized because incoming payments in SEK are converted immediately to DKK.

Liquidity risks

The Company only has debts falling due within one year, see the balance sheet. Payment of the amount, MDKK 41,4 can be fully covered by payments from receivables.

Knowledge resources

The Company has specific knowledge and competence within the area of trade in plastic semimanufactures.

The Company finds it important to attract, retain and contribute to the development of well-educated and motivated employees who can participate in safeguarding one of our core values, namely that of providing our customers with the best service.

During the first half-year 2020/21, the Company's number of full-time employees averaged 102, an increase of 4 compared to the first half-year 2019/20 which is due to higher activity.

Environment

The Company continuously strives to limit environmental impact. However, the environmental impact is in itself insignificant as the activities of the Company mainly comprise the distribution and sale of plastic semi-manufactured, but not manufacturing.

The Company is not involved in any environmental lawsuits.

Research and development activities

The Company has no specific research activities, but is continuously developing its business and competence.

Shareholder information

Share capital: The Company's share capital, DKK 23,063k, is distributed on DKK 3,125k A shares and DKK 19,938k B shares.

Notes

Note 1. Accounting policies

The Interim Report is presented in accordance with IAS 34, Presentation of Interim Reports, as adopted by the EU and Danish disclosure requirements relating to listed companies.

The accounting policies remain unchanged from those applied in the Annual Report for 2019/20. The Annual Report for 2019/20 contains the full description and can therefore be found there.

Note 2. Accounting estimates and judgements

The preparation of the Half-year Report requires Management to make accounting estimates that affect the application of the accounting policies as well as the recognition of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from such estimates.

When preparing the Half-year Report, the most material estimates made by Management in connection with the application of the accounting policies and the most material uncertainty in this respect are the same as in connection with the preparation of the Financial Statements for 2019/20, to which reference is made.

Note 3. Special items

The Company has had costs in H1 2020/21 which the management consider as special items. Special items in H1 2020/21 is demolition of old production building.
