MANAGEMENTS' REVIEW

REVENUE AND RESULTS

Revenue for the first half year 2018/19 amounted to DKK 11,0 million compared to DKK 11,6 million in the same period last year.

Gross profit for the period amounted to DKK 9,7 million compared to DKK 8,1 million in the first half of 2017/18 or an improvement of 20%.

Other external expenses amounted to 1,4 million compared to 2,3 million in the same period last year or an improvement of DKK 0,9 million, reflecting the cost saving programme which was initiated in the last financial year and which has full effect this financial year.

Staff cost amounted to DKK 8,2 million or DKK 0,5 million lower compared to the same period in the financial year 2017/18.

EBITDA for the period amounted to DKK 0,1 million compared to DKK -2,9 million in the same period of the financial year 2017/18.

The net profit for the first half year amounted to DKK -1,9 million compared to DKK -5,2 million in the same period last year.

Equity as per 31 December 2018 amounted to DKK 17,2 million (31 December 2017: DKK 22.7 million).

Cash flow from operating activities for the period amounted to DKK 1,8 million compared to DKK -4.1 million in the first half year 2017/18, which is an improvement of DKK 5,9 million where DKK 2,9 million is reflected by improvement in cash flows from operations before changes in working capital and DKK 2,8 million is attributed to lower funds tied up in working capital. Net cash flow from investing activities amounted to DKK -0.4 million (2017/18: DKK -0.8 million) and cash flow from financing activities amounted to DKK -1,3 million (2017/18: DKK 4,1 million) while net cash flow for the period amounted to DKK 0,2 million (2017/18: DKK -0,8 million.

OPERATIONAL REVIEW

In the first half of financial year 2018/19, Rovsing had a slight reduction in revenue compared to the first half year 2017/18 but at the same time EBITDA is improved significantly compared to same period last year.

The European market

The European institutional market remains the most important market to Rovsing, however the efforts and focus on diversifying the Company's market share to mitigate the fluctuation in activity level has continued with good success as can be seen with the Power EGSE contract acquired in Turkey.

In the first half of the financial year 2018/19, Rovsing had less than projected revenues from a delay in the kick off phase of said Turkish contract, however the activity has since picked up momentum with the Critical Design Review being successfully completed in January 2019. In the coming period the project is full steam ahead for assembly and integration.

Refurbishments and upgrades of previously delivered test systems continues to be a revenue stream for Rovsing with work being carried out on programs such as Galileo, EarthCARE and Copernicus.

A third set of Discrete and Power Front-end DSTE equipment was ordered in August by Celestia-STS as a major part of a 3rd DH SCOE system for Thales Alenia Space Italy. Rovsing delivered the Front-Ends in January 2019 to Celestia-STS.

Rovsing has continued to support the MetOp-SG programme during H1, the first of three Interface Front-End Electronics (IFE) Units for the RF SCOE was shipped to Honeywell in Scotland in October 2018 with the remaining two units scheduled for delivery in H2. Also the MetOp-SG Platform & Instrument ISVV work has continued but unfortunately program delays have persisted, slowing the pace which Rovsing can perform its work. Same is true for the MetOp-SG RF Suitcase MMI project, while important milestones have been achieved the progress is slower than projected due to late HW deliveries.

In November 2018, one of Rovsing's Solar Array Wing Front End Equipment (SAW FEE) systems shipped to Kennedy Space Center together with the first European service module (ESM) for the NASA-ESA vehicle Orion MPCV. In January 2019, Rovsing received an important order from AntwerpSpace and Airbus DS to provide a 4th recurring SAW FEE this year to Airbus DS in Bremen.

Rovsing´s CSG service contracts in Kourou in French Guiana have progressed nominally and the same applies for the technical support to the ISS COLUMBUS in Bremen, Germany for Airbus DS.

The SETTERS project has progressed well with Rovsing resources supporting the PM, QA and RAMS aspects, helping the project consortium led by Telespazio to successfully finalize the RCDI milestone with CNES.

It is Rovsing's assessment that the level of the ESA activities will continue its long-term increasing trend, although the number of new projects continued to be lower in first half of 2018/19 than what has been the case in recent years, which impacts Rovsing's order intake opportunities and possible revenue streams in the next few years.

Important missions for Rovsing in the coming period will be ESAs PLATO mission with OHB Prime Contractor, as well as the new Copernicus Sentinel missions which will enter phase B in 2019, together with commercial and national space programs in EU, USA and emerging markets.

The US market

Rovsing's activities on the US market take place in cooperation with the company's US partner Kratos RT Logic in Colorado Springs.

In a partnership with RT Logic, Rovsing has been supporting Boeing Space Systems by designing the new Solar Array Simulator test system for their factory in Los Angeles. Delivery of the first two systems has been merged and is planned for March 2019.

RT Logic and Rovsing continue to pursue further opportunities in the US market on both the institutional and the commercial market building on the deliveries to Lockheed Martin and Boeing Space Systems and making Rovsing's products and solutions known in the US market.

The Chinese market

Rovsing has continued interest in the Chinese market, however sales activities in this market in H1 have been limited as most focus has been concentrated on the EU and USA opportunities.

Product development and production

In the financial year 2018/19, Rovsing has continued to improve the product base and related logistics, production and testing environments. Management sees time and cost-effective production and testing as a vital part of the foundation for Rovsing's test systems and product offerings and to secure Rovsing's ability to deliver according to plan and within budgeted prices.

H2 2018/2019, large series of Rovsing own products such as the SAS, SLPs and MASC will undergo final assembly and test before integration in large systems such as TURKSAT 6A EPS EGSE and MPCV-ESM SAW FEE.

In December 2018, Rovsing successfully passed the final review with ESA on the ARTES funded Solar Array Ancillary Functions (SAAF) project and received ESA's approval for using the developed solar array sensors simulation and Autotest hardware at Rovsing's facilities in Skovlunde, Denmark.

An ESA co-financed development project, which is aimed at ensuring that Rovsing's ESGE software package is compatible with ESA's future ground software" EGS-CC" standards, has been on hold due to a delay in the development of ESA's underlying control software but is now expected to resume again towards the summer.

Organisation and management

By the end of December 2018, Rovsing employed a total of 24 employees, counted on a full-timeequivalent basis. Most employees were employed at the company's head office in Skovlunde, Denmark, but the company also has employees at several local destinations where they provide support services and consultancy services.

At the Company's annual general meeting in October 2018 Michael Hove, Flemming Hynkemejer and Ulrich Beck were reelected to the Board of Directors, while Jakob Have was elected as new member, replacing Jørgen Hauglund, who did not seek reelection.

Outlook for 2018/19

Solid order intake in the period combined with a high completion rate of the Power EGSE contract in Turkey, having concluded the design phase successfully, ensures the basis of the Company's guided revenue in 2018/19

The 2018/19 outlook is maintained, with a revenue in the range of DKK 28 to 32 million and an EBITDA in the range of DKK - 1 to +1 million.

EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

After the balance sheet date, no events have occurred that materially affect the Company's financial position.
