  • Gross profit for the first six months of 2018 decreased 0.2% to €5.89m from €5.90m in 2017. On a constant currency basis, gross profit increased 10.2% for the first six months of 2018 compared to 2017 as a result of the improved performance of the North America business.
  • Gross profit margin improved to 38.2% for first half of 2018 compared to 35.1% in the first half of 2017.
  • Operating profit/(loss) for the first half of 2018 improved to €0.78m from a loss of (€0.30m) in the first half of 2017. Operating profit/(loss) for the first half of 2018 was favorably impacted by a one-time payment of €0.62m to settle a dispute that arose from an earlier 2011 Settlement Agreement.
  • EBITDA for the first six months of 2018 improved to €2.24m compared to €1.57m in 2017. On a constant currency basis and excluding the impact of the one-time gain, EBITDA improved by 20.5% for the first half of 2018 compared to the first half of 2017
  • Earnings per share increased to a profit per share of €0.15 for the first six months of 2018 compared to a loss per share of (€0.11) in 2017.

  • Shareholders' equity increased to €21.61m at 30/6/2018 compared to €20.60m at 31/12/2017 as a result of first half 2018 earnings and a positive translation reserve of €0.43m for the first half of 2018.

  • In comparing the balance sheet at 30/6/2018 to 31/12/2017, the most notable change relates to the overall increases in current assets over current liabilities tied to higher container throughput volumes and some timing on retailer payments.
  • The company has adequate working capital at 30/6/2018 with borrowing availability of approximately €2.22m under its' financing arrangements.
  • On 27th June 2018, Envipco obtained an additional listing on Euronext Amsterdam.
  • The Company is continuing IP enforcement activities related to a patent granted by the German Patent office that covers a method for how container security labels are created and interpreted. Legal costs incurred in the first half of 2018 were €0.30m compared with €0.29m in first half of 2017. It is expected that cost at this level will continue for the remainder of 2018.

Gool Santchurn, the CEO of Envipco comments: "In the past months we have been successful in developing commercial opportunities, as demonstrated by contracts recently won in Greece and Australia.

The company has initiated market development activities in new European markets as the prospects for new container deposit systems (CDS) have been steadily gaining momentum, [including in the UK (England, Scotland and Wales)]. We expect to significantly increase European investments and market development activities over the next two years to ensure our participation in these new market opportunities.

A resolution authorizing issuance of up to 20% of the outstanding shares was approved at the Shareholders General Meeting on 26 June 2018 to finance European expansion. We believe that our recent additional listing on Euronext Amsterdam will be instrumental in further enhancing Envipco's visibility and accessibility among the investment community."

Second Quarter and First Half Year 2018 – RVM Operations:

  • North American revenues for the first half of 2018 decreased 4.8% to €14.56m from €15.29m in the first half of 2017 due to a significant increase in the EURO to USD translation rate from 1.08 in 2017 to 1.21 in 2018. In local USD currency, North America revenues actually increased by 6.5% for the first six months of 2018. This increase was driven by higher program service revenues of 8.1% for the first half of 2018 over 2017. RVM machine sales were down by 4.5% for the first six month of 2018 over 2017. RVM machine sales for the second half of 2018 are expected to exceed the second half of 2017 resulting in an overall RVM sales increase in 2018 over 2017 in local currency. At constant currencies, in comparing the first half of 2018 to the first half of 2017; North America Gross profit increased by 17.3%, Operating profit increased by 56.3% (excluding the one-time settlement gain) and EBITDA increased by 19.7% (excluding the one-time settlement gain). The North America business is performing well and is benefiting from sustained market share gains under long-term contracts, overall container volumes increases and operational efficiencies. The Company expects these positive trends to continue during the remainder of 2018. The launch of "Quantum" bulk-feed technology in Michigan continues to perform well and we expect additional installations before year-end 2018. Quantum continues to demonstrate Envipco's innovation leadership and is being most actively considered in conjunction with major store renovation planning cycles.

  • Europe revenues for the first six months of 2018 decreased 42.8% to €0.87m from €1.52m in 2017. The Swedish market revenues in the first six months of 2018 decreased on reduced number of Quantum installations of 7 compared to 10 in the first half of 2017. The decline is a result of both customer installation delays and a slowdown in deliveries as we complete the engineering and manufacturing changes to move to a totally modular concept for Quantum. The modular concept is key to allow us to fully scale manufacturing capabilities for Quantum in the future. Envipco expects continued positive development and growth in the Swedish market especially as more retailers evaluate reformatting their bottle return services to outside the store. The balance of decline in the European business is tied to zero RVM machine sales in France for the first half of 2018 compare to the first half of 2017. The Company expects substantial improvement in Europe RVM sales for the second half of 2018 based on confirmed orders for Greece and France.

  • ROW revenue, which currently reflects the Australian market was zero for the first half of 2018 and first half of 2017. Our Australian distributor (Envirobank), has successfully won a tender to provide Container Refund Points (CRP) in the State of Queensland. Envirobank has placed an initial RVM order and accordingly we are expecting meaningful RVM sales revenue in the second half of 2018 compared to zero revenue in 2017.
  • Operating expenses have decreased by €0.48m to €5.73m in the first half of 2018 compared to €6.21m in the first half of 2017. On a restated currency basis operating expenses were relatively flat for the first half of 2018 compared to the first half of 2017. Approximately €0.30m of increased operating expenses in North America was largely offset by lower market development and warranty cost related to Sweden.

Market Outlook:

  • Our investments in the most comprehensive and innovative RVM technology combined with our organizational investments well position the company for sustained market growth and increasing profitability. The company sees a very positive outlook for the business considerate of strengthening North America performance, continued market execution in Sweden, continued expansion in the European non-deposit markets of Greece and France, expansion in the Australian market and most importantly the significant potential for growth tied to new container deposit legislation in Europe.
  • Envipco has the experience and technology to be a significant player in these new CDS European market opportunities. The company has demonstrated technology leadership and its ability to compete with a dominant competitor in the Swedish market. Our revolutionary bulk-feed "Quantum" continues to show strong consumer preference and this combined with the most complete offering of single-feed RVMs well positions the company for market success. The speed and scope of market developments necessitate that the company accelerates its European activities. This includes expansion of European head office, expansion of business development resources, engagement in legislative initiatives and engagement with retailers and potential demonstration pilots. These activities need to be combined with scaling our engineering and manufacturing capabilities to meet this significant market demand at the onset of new deposit markets. The company has formalized plans and received Board approval to undertake the necessary near-term (two year) investments to ensure our participation. Based on the

shareholder approval of issuance of up to 20% of the outstanding shares at the 26, June 2018 Annual General Meeting, the Board has further approved issuance of new shares to finance the expansion plans.

Annual General Meeting:

The annual general meeting of the shareholders was held on 26 June 2018 in Amsterdam. The minutes of the meeting can be viewed on our website at www.envipco.com

Risks and Uncertainties

  • Legislation driven growth: 100% 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.
  • Major RVM customers going out of business may also have a significant negative impact, although unlikely due to the diversity of our customer base.
  • The Group may be at risk from competition.
  • About 94% of the group revenues are generated in United States 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 an unfavorable change.
  • Non-availability of lines of credit or cash to continue to fund projects under development stage may impact long term viability of the Group.
