  • Revenues of €22.3 million (2009 first half €14.5 million) up 54% of which plastic recycling contributed 28% increase and the balance 26% was from Reverse Vending Machine (RVM) operations.
  • Gross margin of 22.9%, up from 14.8% in first half of 2009.
  • The 17% increase in operating expenses consists of 13% increase in research and development (R & D) expenses and 4% in other costs.
  • Net loss after tax of €0.6 million (2009 €2.0 million) is after charging R & D expense of €1.0 million (2009 - €0.3 million).
  • EBITDA improvement of €1.6 million.
  • RVM operation total revenues improved to €11.3 million (2009 €7.6 million) due to strong machine sales and higher redemption volume of about 20% over same period last year.
  • Plastic recycling revenue recovered to €11 million from €6.9 million in first half of 2009.
  • The investment program of the plastic recycling segment is on target, completion expected by end of this year.
  • Successful integration of compaction technology developed by our German subsidiary.
  • Successful launch of a new line of equipment for both deposit and non-deposit markets.

Business operations

• RVM operations:

Deposit markets - Revenues during the first half of 2010 for this segment increased by 46% to €10.4 million (2009 - €7.1 million). This increase is mainly attributable to increased machine sales and higher redemption volumes during the first half of 2010 as compared to same period last year. The higher redemption volumes resulted mainly due to the expansion of the deposit laws to include the PET water bottles in the states of Connecticut and New York. This expansion also positively impacted the materials handling operations.

Non-deposit markets – Nearly 100% increase in revenues to €1.0 million (2009 - €0.5 million) of this segment related to strong machine sales in non-deposit markets during the first half of 2010.

• Plastics recycling:

The market for PET improved considerably resulting in an increase in revenues by 59% to €11 million from €6.9 million in the same period last year. Gross margin also improved by 16% with an increase in EBITDA of €1.3 million for this segment. With the higher demand and recovery of the PET market this segment is expected to return to profitability by end of 2010. The investment program in the new bottle to bottle technology announced earlier is progressing as expected. The new line should be operational by end of the year.

Outlook

As a result of new innovative RVM technologies recently launched, we expect to show stronger and more profitable results during 2010 and years ahead. We have successfully introduced a more cost effective combi RVM (Can/PET) to serve the smaller retail market segment. This market has shown increased interest in RVM with the recent expansion of water bottles to deposit markets. Our new compactor technology is being tested by certain large retail groups in Germany. The results are encouraging and we see the potential for significant orders. These compactors incorporate new innovative designs which provide for longer life and reduced maintenance. The compactors can be retrofitted into competitor RVMs' and this represents an opportunity for Envipco to profitably participate in the large German market. We are planning to introduce additional new technologies to the market within the next twelve months, both in deposit and non-deposit markets.

Our non-deposit initiatives are showing positive momentum. We expect to make new announcements before the end of the year that will confirm the viability of our innovative technology and strategies for nondeposit markets.

Our plastics division has returned to profitability and Sorepla's expansion to incorporate bottle to bottle technology is on target for completion by December 2010. This new investment will also provide the group with further growth possibilities and higher returns.

We remain optimistic on our success.

Risks and Uncertainties

  • Legislation driven growth: about 46% of our group revenues is generated from our RVM business, mainly dependent on deposit laws that can be repealed or curtailed significantly. None is expected, as has been the case during the last 20 years, and such scenario is very unlikely. To the contrary, there are even more initiatives to expand and extend these laws to other states and countries due to environmental concerns which can positively impact our business.
  • About 50% of the group revenues are generated in United Stated Dollar, which can be subject to significant fluctuations that may have a negative or positive impact on the group results depending upon whether it is a favorable or unfavorable change.
  • Volatility in the PET pricing can materially impact the recycling business in France, as had been the case in 2009.
  • Major customers going out of business may also have a significant negative impact, although unlikely due to the diversity of our customer base.

Selected Explanatory Notes

1. General

Activities

Envipco Holding N.V. is a public limited liability company incorporated in accordance with the laws of The Netherlands, with its registered address at Leliegracht 10, 1015 DE Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

Envipco Holding N.V. and Subsidiaries ("the Company" or "Envipco") are engaged principally in Recycling in which it:

  • develops, manufactures, assembles, leases, sells, markets and services a line of "reverse vending machines" (RVMs) in the USA, Europe, Australia, South America and the Far East; and
  • collects or acquires, cleans, processes and resells recycled plastic and derivative products

Basis of preparation

This consolidated interim financial information for the six months ended 30 June 2010 has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "interim financial reporting". The consolidated interim financial information should always be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2009, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as endorsed by the European Union.

All financial information is reported in thousands of euros unless stated otherwise.

2. Accounting policies

Except as set out below, the accounting policies of these interim financial statements are consistent with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2009.

  • Taxes on income in the interim periods are accrued using the tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual earnings.
  • The annual impairment test on goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite life will be carried out in second six-month period of this year. Consequently, any impairment losses will only be recognised in the annual financial statements over the fiscal year 2010.
  • These unaudited statements have not been reviewed by our auditors.

The following improvements and clarifications to standards are mandatory for the first time for the financial year beginning 1 January 2010 have an impact on the financial information of the group:

IFRS 8, 'Operating segments'. – segment financial reporting of the total assets is only mandatory if assets are divided into segments in internal reporting. This improvement/clarification does not result in change of the number and composition of the segments reported by the group.

The following improvements and clarifications to standards and interpretations are mandatory for the first time for the year beginning 1 January 2010 are not applicable or do not have an impact on the financial information of the group:

  • IAS 1 'Presentation of Financial Statements'.
  • IAS 17 'Leases'.
  • IAS 18 'Revenue'.
  • IFRIC 17 'Distributions of non-cash assets to owners'.
  • IFRIC 18 'Transfers of assets from customers'.
  • IAS 36 'Impairment of Assets'.
  • IAS 39 'Financial instruments: Recognition and measurement'.

The following new/amendments to standards and interpretations have been issued by the IASB which have taken effect for financial years starting on or after 1 July 2009:

IFRS 3 (2008 revision), 'Business combinations' and amendments to IAS 27 (2008 revision), 'Consolidated and separate financial statements' stipulate different treatment on certain aspects of accounting for acquisitions and investments in subsidiaries. Transaction costs are no longer included in the purchase price of the acquisition. Goodwill is no longer adjusted after the initial valuation for changes in estimates regarding conditional subsequent payments that are part of the purchase price. The same applies to differences regarding the realisation of tax loss compensation possibilities which the acquired company had on the acquisition date. An existing non-controlling interest in an acquired company is valued at the fair value on the acquisition date, whereby the difference from the existing book value is included in the profit and loss account.

In case of non-controlling interests, profits or losses and each component of unrealised results, are attributed to the group equity and to the non-controlling interests in equity. Even if this means that the non-controlling interests show a negative balance.

These changes have been applied prospectively in accordance with the applicable transitional provisions. The comparative figures have therefore not been restated.

These changes have no significant consequences for the 2010 financial statements.

In addition to the changes to IFRS 3 and IAS 27, the changes in the context of the 2008 improvements project have been applied for the first time. These changes have no significant consequences for the financial statements.

3. Segment reporting

In accordance with the provisions of IFRS 8, the segments are identified based on internal reporting. The senior management board has been identified as the chief operating decision-maker. The senior management board reviews internal reporting on a periodical basis. Management has reclassified the operating segments based on these reports which are different from those reported at the end of 2009. These operating segments are:

  • RVM deposit markets: The activities under this segment include operation of systems to redeem, collect, account for and processing of post consumer beverage containers in the legislated environment. Other related activities are sale and lease of RVMs, container data handling, management and deposit clearing functions.
  • RVM non-deposit markets: This segment includes the sales and market development activities for the automated recovery of used beverage containers in non-legislated environments.
  • Plastic Recycling: This segment comprises the industrial cleaning, grinding, sorting, washing, flaking, and pelletising of post consumer PET and HDPE bottles.
  • Research and development (R & D): All of the group's R & D activities are included under this segment.
  • Corporate/Head office: This comprises of all holding company activities.
