Directors' report

Information about Covid-19 emergency

Macroeconomic scenario

The health and economic situation has certainly improved in recent months, both nationally and internationally. In our country, this has happened thanks to well-calibrated preventive measures, the economic support measures implemented by the government and, increasingly, the progress of the vaccination campaign against Covid-19.

Good news has also come from the national economic data: real GDP growth in the first half of the current year has exceeded forecasts and the most up-to-date indicators suggest that the third quarter will record another leap forward.

As emerges from the Update Note to the September Economic and Financial Document (DEF), assuming a physiological slowdown in growth in the last three months of the year, the annual forecast of GDP growth rises to 6.0%, from 4.5% assumed in the DEF in April.

On a global level, in the latest update of its Economic Outlook, the OECD substantially confirmed its global growth forecasts, while it revised upwards those for the euro area. According to the OECD, the global economy is continuing to recover, with a forecast for 2022 of global growth of more than 4.5%, but at the same time "the risks remain high" and, in particular, concerns about inflation are gathering.

The prospects for a further recovery of GDP in Italy in the coming quarters are primarily linked to the evolution of the pandemic and world demand, but will also be affected by the shortages of materials and components and by the sharp increases in energy prices recorded in recent months, factors that also impact on the production costs of companies and can hinder their production plans. The high circulation of Covid-19 worldwide and the low vaccination rates in some geographic areas could favour the emergence of more contagious variants or variants capable of evading current vaccines.

Emak Group

The Emak Group constantly monitors the developments in the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, promptly adopting, at all its offices globally, all local requirements in terms of entry controls and all prevention, control and containment measures, aimed at protecting the health of its employees and collaborators, such as extended smart working, sanitation of the premises, personal protective equipment, temperature measurement, hygiene rules and social distancing.

The year 2020, as well as the first nine months of 2021, were characterized by the rediscovery of green spaces, small-scale agriculture and "do it yourself" activities. Interest in gardening, horticulture and the maintenance of houses and green spaces has increased and with it the associated purchases have grown, with positive effects on the market for specific machines and equipment. The emergence of new lifestyles, induced by the pandemic, has partly positively contributed to the market demand.

The market demand was also supported by a wide and competitive product offer; high operational flexibility made it possible to meet with extraordinary demand which generated an increase in turnover of 29% in the first nine months compared to the same period of the previous year, which was partially penalized by the initial closures and slowdowns of productive activities.

In this context, characterized by strong tension in the production logistics chain, to face with the peak of demand, the Group's activities have focused on optimizing production capacity and on a careful supply chain management.

The increase in the cost of raw materials, components and transport that occurred during the nine months was partially softened by the gradual adjustment of the sales price lists.

In consideration of the fluidity of the situation, the management will constantly monitor the evolution of the context in order to manage the dynamics of costs, with the aim of limiting the impact on margins.

In consideration of the current scenario, the Group's Management, in response to the pandemic, does not expect to make significant changes to its business model, which will continue along the lines of innovation, competitiveness and the expansion of the product range and the strengthening of the current distribution channels; at the same time the growth objectives for external lines and for the efficiency of the operating structure remain confirmed.

Based on the results obtained to date by the Group and on the financial, managerial and operational indicators, the Management believes that, even in the presence of an uncertain global economic and financial context, there are no uncertainties about the business as a going concern, nor critical issues regarding the ability of the Group to meet its obligations.

With respect to the foreseeable evolution on operations, please refer to the specific chapter of this report.

Compared to 31 December 2020 there are no changes in the scope; with reference to 30 September 2020 the company Agres Sistemas Eletrônicos SA is passed from an associate to a subsidiary, having increased the shareholding of Tecomec S.r.l. to 91% and the Swedish company Markusson Professional Grinders AB was consolidated in the first nine months of 2020 from January 31.

Comments on economic figures

Revenues from sales

The turnover of third quarter 2021 amounts to € 131,274 thousand, compared to € 112,397 thousand of the same period last year, an increase of 16.8%.

In the first nine months 2021 Emak Group achieved a consolidated turnover of € 464,238 thousand, compared to € 359,893 thousand of last year, an increase of 29%.

This increase is due to the organic growth for 27.7%, from change in the scope of consolidation for 3%, while it is penalized by the negative effect of translation changes for 1.7%.

It should be noted that the same period of 2020 had been partially impacted by the advent of the Covid-19 pandemic; however, even in comparison with the first nine months of 2019 there is a growth of 33.6% (on a like-for-like basis).

Growth was very consistent in all segments in which the Group operates (Outdoor Power Equipment, Pumps & High Pressure Water Jetting, Components & Accessories) concentrated above all in the Europe and Americas areas. In general, in the countries where it has a direct presence, the Group has increased its market shares.

The change in consumption habits resulting from the post Covid-19 context, as well as the improvement of the offer in terms of innovation and breadth of range, have certainly contributed to the increase in sales.

The Group was able to cope with the increase in demand thanks to the high flexibility of the operating structure, the extraordinary commitment of the entire organization, including the supply chain.

EBITDA

EBITDA of third quarter 2021 amounts to € 15,896 thousand, compared to € 13,852 thousand in the corresponding quarter of last year.

EBITDA for the first nine months of 2021 amounts to € 69,735 thousand (15% of revenues) compared to € 46,816 thousand (13% of revenues) in the corresponding period of previous year.

During nine months 2021, non-ordinary expenses were recorded for € 792 thousand (€ 724 thousand in 2020) and non-ordinary revenues for € 1,062 thousand (€ 26 thousand in 2020).

Ebitda before non-ordinary expenses and revenues is equal to € 69,465 thousand (15% of revenues) compared to € 47,514 thousand of the same period last year (13.2% of revenues).

The application of the IFRS 16 principle has resulted in a positive effect on the Ebitda of the first nine months 2021 for € 4,830 thousand, against to a positive effect of € 4,669 thousand in the nine months 2020.

EBITDA for the nine months benefited from the significant increase in sales volumes; on the other hand, there was a slight contraction in margins in the last quarter resulting mainly from the generalized increase in the costs of raw materials and transports.

Personnel costs increased compared to the same period by € 11,484 thousand, mainly due to the greater recourse to the workforce to cope with the increase in production volumes. In the first nine months of 2020 social safety nets were used, activated during the lockdown period, for the Covid-19 emergency for an amount of € 1,480 thousand. The average number of resources employed by the Group, also considering temporary workers employed in the period and the different scope of consolidation, was 2,450 compared to 2,190 of the same period last year.

Operating result

Operating result of third quarter 2021 is equal to € 9,868 thousand, compared to € 8,179 thousand in the corresponding quarter of last year.

Operating result for the first nine months of 2021 is € 52,048 thousand, with an incidence of 11.2% on revenues compared to € 29,992 thousand (8.3% of revenues) in the corresponding period of previous year.

Depreciation and amortization are € 17,687 thousand compared to € 16,824 thousand in the same period of previous year.

Non-annualized operating result as a percentage of net capital employed is 13.8% compared to 8.6% of the same period of the previous year.

Net result

Net Profit of third quarter 2021 is equal to € 6,132 thousand compared to € 4,847 thousand of the same period last year.

Net Profit for the first nine months of 2021 is € 37,740 thousand, compared to € 15,759 thousand in the same period of previous year.

Currency management in the first nine months 2021 is positive for € 1,032 thousand, compared to a negative value of € 3,226 thousand for the same period. In the nine months, exchange rate management was positively affected by the revaluation of the US dollar against the euro which more than offset the negative performance of the Brazilian real against the US dollar, and in general of South American currencies.

In the first nine months 2020, the item "Income from/(expenses on) equity investment" included a capital loss deriving from the sale of 30% of the share capital of Cifarelli S.p.A. for an amount of € 1,389 thousand, occurred through the exercise of a put option on the minority investment held.

The effective tax rate is 24.3% against 28.5% in the same period of the previous year, which was negatively affected by the prudential failure to record deferred tax assets on tax losses by some Group companies. On the other hand, the tax rate, in the first nine months 2021, was positively affected by the accounting of deferred tax assets recorded for the benefits deriving from the tax realignment operations, pursuant to Legislative Decree. 104/2020, applied to the goodwill values of certain Italian subsidiaries.

It should be noted that, based on art. 160 of the State Budget Law for 2022, the economic effects resulting from the revaluation and realignment of brand values and goodwill, previously carried out pursuant to art. 110, Legislative Decree 104/2020, could be reduced or cancelled due to restrictions being introduced by the legislator.

In this regard, it should be noted that the EMAK group, with reference to brand values and goodwill, made use of the faculties of law and recognized deferred tax assets in the amount of € 1,536 thousand with an effect on the result for 2020 and an additional € 880 thousand, with effect on the result of the 2021 fraction, documented here.

The effects of the possible restrictions, not yet reached in a legislative text, will be considered by the company as soon as the legislation that provides them is fully defined and approved by the Chambers and after the board of directors of EMAK has taken a position on the various options offered by the legislation itself.

Outdoor Power Equipment

Sales in Europe recorded significant growth, with particular reference to the Italian, French and Polish markets. In the Americas area, the increase in sales was generalized, with significant growth in the markets of Latin America. Sales in Asia, Africa and Oceania were up in particular in the Far East and China areas, while there was a slowdown in the Turkish market in the third quarter.

EBITDA for the nine months is equal to € 16,689 thousand, an increase of 96.8% compared to 30 September 2020 thanks to the operating leverage generated by the increase in sales, the commercial policies implemented, together with a favourable product and market mix.

Net negative financial position is equal to € 145 thousand, an improvement compared to € 10,780 thousand at 31 December 2020 and € 16,594 thousand at September 30, 2020, mainly thanks to the cash flows from operations.

Pumps and High Pressure Water Jetting

Sales in Europe showed significant growth, driven by the Italian, French, Polish, Spanish, British and Russian markets. Sales through the on-line channel continued to rise sharply.

The good performance of revenues in the Americas area is attributable to the US and Brazilian subsidiaries as well as the good performance on the Chilean market.

Revenues from the Asia, Africa and Oceania area are growing mainly in the China, Far East and Oceania areas.

EBITDA for the nine months amounted to € 29,287 thousand, an increase of 27.7% compared to 30 September 2020, thanks to the operating leverage effect generated by the strong growth in turnover, partially mitigated by the effect of the increase in the costs of raw materials and transport, which increased in the second half of the year and were partially recovered from actions to increase sales prices.

The nine months of 2021 benefited from the extraordinary income booked, against the reversal of the loan for an equivalent value of € 613 thousand, by the subsidiary Valley (USA) and recorded under non-recurring income, the request for which was initiated in 2020 as support for the Covid-19 pandemic.

Net negative financial position of € 89,399 thousand is up compared to € 87,031 thousand at 31 December 2020 following the increase in net working capital due to the increase in turnover over the nine months and the seasonality of the business.

Components and Accessories

Sales growth in Europe is attributable to higher sales achieved in all product lines, in particular by the Italian, French and Swedish companies.

In the Americas area, strong growth is recorded thanks to the performance of the subsidiaries that produce and distribute directly on the market, as well as the contribution deriving from the consolidation of the Brazilian company Agres.

The strong growth in Asia, Africa and Oceania is attributable to higher sales in the Chinese and Australian markets.

EBITDA for the nine months of 2021, equal to € 26,533 thousand, up by 56.1% compared to 30 September 2020, benefited from the increase in sales volumes and the change in the scope of consolidation.

The increase in the net negative financial position, equal to € 30,848 thousand, compared to the end of the 2020 financial year, is attributable to the increase in net working capital linked to the growth in turnover and the seasonality of the business.

Business outlook

The demand continues to be strong, with the month of October growing by about 9% compared to the same period of last year and by about 30% compared to the same month of 2019. The order book is also higher than the average of the period sustained by a situation of relatively low stocks in the distribution networks.

This makes it possible to position the expected turnover at the end of the year in the upper part of the previously communicated guidance which envisaged growth in a range between 17% and 21%.

The gradual intervention on the sales price lists applied in recent months has largely offset the impact of the increase in the cost of raw materials, components and transport; the leverage effect generated by the strong growth in turnover still leads to an improvement in the EBITDA margin at the end of the year estimated to grow by around 150 basis points.

As regards 2022, visibility remains positive for the first part of the year, despite the persistence of risks associated with the supply chain. The decision to keep stocks higher than the average for the period is aimed at mitigating this risk.

Subsequent events

There are no events to report, except for the evolution relating to the acquisition of the company Poli S.r.l., as described in the specific paragraph of the notes.

Comments on the financial statements

The interim report has been prepared under disclosure continuity, comparability, international best practice and transparency to the market. Despite the lack of legal obligation, the Board of Directors of Emak S.p.A. has in fact decided, also because of his membership in the STAR segment of the MTA, to continue in drafting and systematic publication of quarterly reports, in compliance with art. 2.2.3, paragraph 3, letter. a) of the Regulation of Markets organized and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A. The reports are made available to the public in the usual forms of deposit at the registered office, the company website and the "eMarket Storage" storage mechanism.

In relation to the above, it is confirmed that the accounting principles and policies adopted by the Group in preparing the quarterly consolidated financial statements are consistent with those adopted in the consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2020, with the peculiarities shown below.

In this interim report IAS 19 is not applied as far as the quantification of changes in actuarial gains accrued in the period is concerned. In addition, in the context of disclosure of synthetic and essential character, are not observed all the detailed requirements of IAS 34, whenever it is assessed that its application does not bring meaningful information.

It should be noted that:

  • when it has not been possible to obtain invoices from suppliers for the provision of consulting and other services, a reasonable estimate of these costs has been made on the basis of the stage of completion of the work;
  • current and deferred taxes have been calculated using the tax rates applied in the current year in the individual countries of operation;
  • the quarterly report is not subject to audit;
  • all amounts are expressed in thousands of euros, unless otherwise specified.

The company achieved sales in 2020 of around € 4 million, a normalized EBITDA of around 24%, with positive cash flow of around € 2 million.

On 4 October 2021, Comet S.p.A. completed the acquisition of 80% of the company at an initial price of € 5.7 million, including cash of approximately € 2 million, and will be subject to adjustment based on the results of Poli S.r.l. as of December 31, 2021.

On the remaining 20% stake, which will be held by the founder of the company, put and call options have been agreed with expiry starting from the third and within the fifth year of closing.

With this operation, the Group acquires specific know-how that integrates perfectly into its range and expands its cleaning catalogue, further strengthening its position as a key supplier in the sector.

Realignment of the tax values of certain intangible assets to the corresponding book values

During the first semester 2021, the Boards of Directors of the companies Tecomec s.r.l., Comet s.p.a. and PTC s.r.l. resolved to take advantage of the opportunity, offered by recent legislation, of realigning the tax value to the book value for certain goodwill values shown in their respective financial statements, which were originally not fiscally recognized.

The realignment, for a total amount of € 3,441,219, will be subject to an option pursuant to art. 110, D.L. 104/2020, converted into law no. 126/2020, as supplemented by art. 1, paragraph 83, l. 178/2020, and will result in the liquidation of substitute taxes for a total of € 103,237.

The realignment entails, in accordance with the law, in the affixing of a restriction on net equity reserves for a total of € 3,337,982, as illustrated in the following table.
