2016 full-year earnings outlook maintained; organic sales outlook adjusted to 2-4%

In the first half of 2016, sales grew by 3% organically and were flat in DKK compared with the first half of 2015. EBIT was on par, and the EBIT margin was 27.2%, also on par with the first half of 2015. Adjusting for the restructuring costs in Q1, the EBIT margin would have expanded to above 28% and EBIT growth to around 4% compared with the first half of 2015. Net profit grew by 8%. Net investments were DKK 542 million, free cash flow before acquisitions was DKK 1,354 million and ROIC (incl. goodwill) was 25.4%.

The outlook for full-year organic sales growth is adjusted to 2-4%, down from previously 3-5%. The adjustment reflects uncertainty in most of the industries in which Novozymes operates. The outlook for sales in DKK is unchanged. The outlook for each of EBIT, EBIT margin, net profit, net investments, free cash flow and ROIC is also unchanged.

Novozymes A/S CVR number: 10 00 71 27

August 10, 2016

Interim report for the first half of 2016. Company announcement No. 39

Peder Holk Nielsen, President & CEO of Novozymes, comments:

"Our business improved in the second quarter. We delivered strong earnings, and we increased our sales growth although we had aimed higher. We're on track to reach our full-year profit target, but we adjust our sales expectations due to the performance in the second quarter and the uncertainty facing many of our markets. Our pipeline of sustainable biological solutions remains strong, and we'll soon launch exciting, new innovation in BioAg."

Total sales in the first half of the year increased by 3% organically compared with the first half of 2015, and sales in DKK were flat. Sales to Household Care and Technical & Pharma were the most significant contributors to organic sales growth in the period.

Total sales: Organic: +3% DKK: 0%

Distribution of sales, 1H 2016

Household Care

Sales to the Household Care industry increased by 4% organically and by 3% in DKK compared with the first half of 2015.

Sales in Asia grew due to continued penetration in liquid formulas. Sales in Latin America stabilized and showed slight growth. Sales in North America grew solidly because of a continued demand for premium detergent products, while the European market was slightly positive.

Food & Beverages

Sales to the Food & Beverages industries increased by 3% organically and by 1% in DKK compared with the first half of 2015. Sales to the starch and brewing industries were the Household Care: Organic: +4% DKK: +3%

Food & Beverages: Organic: +3% DKK: +1%

main contributors to sales growth. Sales to the baking industry also grew moderately, whereas sales for the production of healthy foods declined.

Bioenergy

Sales to the Bioenergy industry decreased by 6% organically and by 7% in DKK compared with the first half of 2015. U.S. ethanol production in the first half of 2016 is estimated to have been up by around 3% compared with the first half of 2015.

The margins for ethanol producers remained low in the first half of 2016. Novozymes' customers continued to focus on low-cost solutions, resulting in further negative product mix changes, and price competition in enzymes is tough. The recently launched products Avantec® Amp and Liquozyme® LpH contributed positively to the product mix, but not enough to offset the overall negative impacts from product mix and pricing.

Agriculture & Feed

Sales to the Agriculture & Feed industries increased by 1% organically and declined by 6% in DKK compared with the first half of 2015. This development was driven by strong growth in animal feed, although some of the growth was positively impacted by timing.

Sales development in BioAg was negative, primarily due to the changed production and sales pattern to our partner, as well as weaker demand for inoculants for soybeans in the U.S. Poor economics for farmers caused some to forgo the inoculant treatment, resulting in the lower demand.

Novozymes recognized DKK 84 million of deferred income as revenue compared with DKK 149 million in the first half of 2015.

Enzyme sales to the animal feed market grew strongly in the first half, driven by both protein-enhancing solutions and energy uptake products, whereas sales of phytases were flat. There is growing interest from poultry farmers in trialing the new probiotic Alterion®, but sales are still low.

Technical & Pharma

Sales to the Technical & Pharma industries increased by 22% organically and by 18% in DKK compared with the first half of 2015, driven mainly by Pharma. The strong growth was mainly driven by sales of enzymes for pharmaceutical production, shipment of hyaluronic acid in Q1 and continued contributions from the royalty agreement with GSK. Bioenergy: Organic: (6)% DKK: (7)%

Agriculture & Feed: Organic: +1% DKK: (6)%

Technical & Pharma: Organic: +22% DKK: +18%

Sales by geography, 1H 2016

Europe, the Middle East & Africa

Sales grew by 9% organically and by 8% in DKK compared with the first half of 2015. All areas contributed to growth, but the most significant areas were Technical & Pharma and Food & Beverages.

North America

Sales decreased by 7% organically and by 9% in DKK compared with the first half of 2015. Sales to Household Care increased, whereas all other areas decreased.

Asia Pacific

Sales increased by 8% organically and by 5% in DKK compared with the first half of 2015. All areas contributed to growth, but the most significant areas were Household Care and Food & Beverages. Asia Pacific: Organic: +8% DKK: +5%

Latin America

Sales increased by 8% organically, but decreased by 1% in DKK compared with the first half of 2015. All areas contributed to growth, but the most significant areas were Food & Beverages and Agriculture & Feed. Latin America: Organic: +8% DKK: (1)%

Costs and profit

Total costs excluding net financials, share of losses in associates and tax were DKK 5,161 million, on par with the first half of 2015. Total costs: 0%

Gross profit was on par with the first half of 2015, as was the gross margin at 57.9%. Productivity improvements increased the gross margin, offset by the one-time reorganization costs. The severance pay in Supply Operations was DKK 32 million and, adjusting for this, the gross margin would have been above 58%. Gross margin: 57.9%

Operating costs were DKK 2,200 million and were also on par with the first half of 2015, as were operating costs as a percentage of sales at 31%. Operating costs: 0%

  • Sales and distribution costs increased slightly, representing 12% of sales
  • R&D costs decreased by 2%, representing 14% of sales. The severance pay in R&D was DKK 32 million
  • Administrative costs decreased by 2%, representing 6% of sales

Other operating income totaled DKK 34 million, down from DKK 41 million in the first half of 2015.

Depreciation, writedowns and amortization were DKK 464 million, down 9% from DKK 512 million in the first half of 2015. The lower level was due to the absence of writedowns in 2016.

EBIT was on par at DKK 1,911 million, up from DKK 1,909 million in the first half of 2015. The EBIT margin was 27.2%, in line with the first half of 2015. Adjusting for the one-time reorganization costs, EBIT grew by around 4%, and the EBIT margin was above 28%.

Net financial income was DKK 9 million, an increase of DKK 122 million on the first half of 2015. This was mainly the result of a gain of DKK 33 million on net currency hedging/revaluation compared with a loss of DKK 65 million in the first half of 2015. Furthermore, Novozymes had a share of losses in associates of DKK 14 million, up from a loss of DKK 4 million in the first half of 2015.

Profit before tax was DKK 1,906 million, up 6% from the first half of 2015. The effective tax rate in the first half of 2016 was ~22%, against ~23% in the first half of 2015, benefiting from a lower tax rate in Denmark.

Net profit was DKK 1,496 million, an increase of 8% from DKK 1,389 million in the first half of 2015, primarily driven by the gain from net finance.

Cash flow and balance sheet

Cash flow from operating activities was DKK 1,896 million in the first half of 2016 compared with DKK 1,987 million in the first half of 2015.

Net investments excluding acquisitions totaled DKK 542 million compared with DKK 371 million in the first half of 2015. In the second quarter of 2016, Novozymes paid DKK 226 million for the land for the new Danish innovation campus.

Free cash flow before acquisitions was DKK 1,354 million compared with DKK 1,616 million in the first half of 2015. The decrease is primarily due to the investment in land.

Shareholders' equity at June 30, 2016, was DKK 10,963 million, down 5% from year-end 2015 because of lower comprehensive income and an increased dividend payout. Shareholders' equity was 62% of the balance sheet total, a decrease of 4 percentage points from year-end 2015.

At June 30, 2016, Novozymes had net interest-bearing debt of DKK 1,136 million compared with DKK 437 million at year-end 2015. Net interest-bearing debt-to-EBITDA, based on an extrapolated full-year EBITDA, was 0.2 at June 30, 2016.

Return on invested capital (ROIC), including goodwill, was 25.4%, 1 percentage point lower than for the first half of 2015. The decrease in ROIC was mainly a result of a higher capital base due to higher net working capital, and an increase in property, plant and equipment in the first half of 2016.

At June 30, 2016, the holding of treasury stock was 9.6 million B shares, equivalent to 3.1% of the common stock. In the first half of 2016, Novozymes repurchased 3.4 million shares with a transaction value of DKK 1,020 million under the stock buyback program initiated on February 15, 2016. The full program has a framework of DKK 2,000 million and is expected to be completed by the end of the year.

Sustainability

Sustainability performance in the first half of 2016 was slightly below target for most parameters. Occupational accidents is an area of concern, and new initiatives with focus on improvements have been undertaken. Water and energy efficiency indicators were below the full-year targets and will be challenging to meet by the end of the year. The CO2 intensity performance was on target.

Sales outlook

The organic sales outlook has been adjusted to 2-4% from previously 3-5%. This change is a reflection of the sales performance in Q2 and also the outlook for the rest of the year. Many of the industries in which Novozymes operates face uncertainties. The sales outlook in DKK for 2016 is unchanged. Novozymes still expects all areas except Bioenergy to deliver organic sales growth. However, the expectations for Agriculture & Feed have been reduced, primarily due to the performance in BioAg in the first half of 2016. Novozymes expects that growth will be skewed toward the end of the year due to the change in production pattern and seasonality in BioAg.

Household Care sales growth is expected to improve moderately compared with the 1% organic sales growth realized in 2015. Sales growth is expected to be driven by higher enzyme inclusion in liquid detergents across tiers and markets.

Food & Beverages sales growth is expected to be driven by a continued good performance by all major segments – baking, brewing and starch. Organic growth for the full year is expected to be in line with the company sales guidance.

Bioenergy sales are now expected to contract organically more than previously expected in 2016, as the competitive market for enzymes is expected to continue, driving prices down and offering lower in-use cost for ethanol producers. U.S. ethanol production in 2016 is expected to increase by around 2% compared with 2015. Novozymes expects to launch more innovation in the U.S. conventional ethanol market in the second half of the year.

Agriculture & Feed sales are now expected to deliver moderate sales growth, whereas Novozymes previously expected Agriculture & Feed growth to be solid. Both areas are expected to contribute positively. Expectations for the upcoming launch of the new corn inoculant are unchanged, and the intention is still to start selling the product to our partner this year. Novozymes now expects to recognize less than DKK 200 million of the deferred BioAg income as revenue in 2016, down from DKK ~210 million. Deferred income does not impact the calculation of organic sales growth rates; it impacts realized sales growth in DKK and has no cash flow impact.

Organic sales growth: 2-4% DKK sales growth: 1-3%

Technical & Pharma sales are expected to grow, primarily driven by the realized increase in sales to the pharmaceutical industries in the first half. Sales to the technical industries are also expected to increase.

Profit outlook

The outlook for EBIT growth and EBIT margin is unchanged. EBIT growth is expected to be 1-3%. Novozymes expects to maintain the high level of profitability from 2015 and an EBIT margin of ~28%.

The effective tax rate is expected to be ~22%. The expectation for net profit growth is still 8-10%, driven by growth in EBIT and an expectation of lower net financial costs compared with 2015.

Net investments are expected to be DKK 1,100-1,200 million. Besides maintenance, most CAPEX will be spent on production capacity expansions and the new innovation campus in Lyngby, Denmark.

Free cash flow before acquisitions is expected to be DKK 2,400-2,600 million.

Return on invested capital including goodwill is expected at 25-26%.

EBIT growth: 1-3%

Currency exposure

From a currency perspective, 2016 EBIT is most exposed to fluctuations in the USD and EUR.

Other things being equal, a +5% movement in USD/DKK is expected to have an annual positive impact on EBIT of DKK 90-110 million, and vice versa.

Other things being equal, a +5% movement in EUR/DKK is expected to have an annual positive impact on EBIT of DKK 150-200 million, and vice versa.
