Newly applied standards

Starting January 1, 2019 the Emak Group adopted the newly accounting standard IFRS 16 – Leases. The new standard intended to replace IAS 17 – Leases, as well as IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease, SIC-15 Operating LeasesIncentives and SIC-27 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease.

The new standard provides a new definition of lease and introduces a criteria based on the control (right of use) of an asset to differentiate between lease and service agreements identifying which distinctive: asset identification, right of replacement of the asset, right to obtain all economic benefits arising out of use of the asset and right to control the use of the asset underlying the agreement.

The standard introduces a single lessee accounting model for recognizing and measuring lease agreements, which provides for the underlying asset – including assets underlying operating leases – to be recognized in the statement of financial position as assets and lease financial liability.

During the first application of the standard, the Group has adopted the "modified retrospective (alternative 1)" approach, accounting the cumulative effect in equity at January 1st, 2019, in accordance with IFRS 16. In particular, the Group recorded, concerning the leases previously classified as operating:

  • financial liability, equal to the present value of future payments on transition data, discounted for each contract the incremental borrowing rate applied at the transition date;
  • right of use equal to the net book value it would have had in the case in which the Standard had been applied from the beginning of the contract, but using the discount rate defined at the transition date.

For these contracts, the amount of the right of use is equal to € 27,755 thousand against a financial liability of € 27,959 thousand.

It should be noted that the average weighted incremental borrowing rate applied to financial liabilities recorded since 1 January 2019 was around 3% in the first nine months; this determines an overall discounting effect of € 708 thousand.

The following table shows the impacts on the financial position from the adoption of IFRS 16 on the transition date:

In the income statement, the accrued costs to rentals, leases and enjoyment of third-party assets are no longer recorded in the item "Other operating costs and provisions", the allocation of long-term costs (on a straight-line basis) of the right of use asset is recorded under the item "Amortization, depreciation and impairment losses", while the interest expenses that accrues on financial debts (variable according to the debt) are recorded in the item "Financial expenses". The tax effects are therefore accounted for in the item "Income taxes".

The comparative income statements for the first nine months of 2018 and for the 2018 financial year have not been changed retrospectively as required from the IFRS 16 first-time simplifications; therefore the comparative income statements are shown in continuity with what is explained in the previous reports.

Furthermore, the adoption of IFRS 16 did not result in the recognition of effects in the Group's statement of other comprehensive income.

With reference to the application, the Group used the exemption granted by IFRS paragraph 16:5 (a) in relation to short-term leases.

Likewise, the Group used the exemption granted to IFRS 16 with regard to lease contracts for which the underlying asset is configured as a low-value asset. The contracts for which the exemption has been applied fall mainly in the following categories:

  • Computers, phones and tablets;
  • Printers;
  • Other electronic devices.

For these contracts, the introduction of IFRS 16 did not involve the recognition of the financial liability of the lease and the related right of use, but the lease installments are recorded in the income statement on a linear basis for the duration of the respective contracts, in continuity with the accounting practices previously adopted.

The Group used the following practical expedients allowed by IFRS 16:

  • Classification of contracts that expire within 12 months from the transition date as a short term lease. For these contracts the lease instalments are recorded in the income statement on a linear basis;
  • Use of information present at the transition date for the determination of the lease term, with particular reference to the exercise of extension options and early closure.

Directors' report

Scope of consolidation

Compared to 31 December 2018 there are no changes in the scope of consolidation.

The consolidated financial statements at 30 September 2018 included only the economic results for the first quarter of the company Raico Srl. (sold on March 30, 2018) and the Brazilian company Spraycom S.A. was consolidated as from 1 August 2018.

Furthermore, it should be noted the change in the percentage of shares held in S.I.Agro Mexico, from 85% to 100% following the exercise of the Call Option on 04 June 2019.

Comments on economic figures

Revenues from sales

The turnover of third quarter 2019 amounts to € 93,948 thousand, compared to € 88,695 thousand of the same period last year, an increase of 5.9%.

In the first nine months 2019 Emak Group achieved a consolidated turnover of € 336,989 thousand, compared to € 355,155 thousand of last year, a decrease of 5.1%. This change is due to the exit from the scope of consolidation of the company Raico S.r.l. for 0.9%, to the positive effect of the exchange rate for 0.7% and to the reduction in sales volumes for 4.9%.

EBITDA

EBITDA of third quarter 2019 amounts to € 8,096 thousand, increasing by 9.6% compared to € 7,385 thousand in the corresponding quarter of last year.

It should be noted that the application of the new IFRS 16 principle has resulted in a positive effect on the EBITDA of third quarter 2019 for € 1,542 thousand.

The figure of third quarter 2018 was affected by non-ordinary income amounting to € 309 thousand and nonordinary expenses for € 130 thousand.

EBITDA for the first nine months of 2019 amounts to € 38,844 thousand (11.5% of revenues) compared to € 44,095 thousand (12.4% of revenues) in the corresponding period of previous year.

It should be noted that the application of the new IFRS 16 principle has resulted in a positive effect on the EBITDA of first nine months 2019 for € 4,495 thousand.

During nine months 2019, non-ordinary expenses were recorded for € 409 thousand (€ 2,088 thousand in 2018) and non-ordinary revenues for € 83 thousand (€ 678 thousand in 2018).

Ebitda before non-ordinary expenses and revenues is equal to € 39,170 thousand (11.6% of revenues) compared to € 45,505 thousand of the same period last year (12.8% of revenues).

The result of nine months was negatively affected by the decrease in sales volumes and by an unfavorable product mix in view of general costs control.

The decrease in personnel costs compared to the same period is mainly due to benefits, net of related costs, linked to the corporate reorganization actions completed during 2018 and to the lower use of temporary staff, also related to lower production volumes.

The number of resources employed on average by the Group was equal to 2,139 compared to 2,143 in the same period of previous year.

EBIT

EBIT of third quarter 2019 is equal to € 2,544 thousand, compared to € 3,673 thousand in the corresponding quarter of last year.

Operating result for the first nine months of 2019 is € 20,431 thousand, with an incidence of 6.1% on revenues compared to € 33,137 thousand (9.3% of revenues) in the corresponding period of previous year.

Amortization, depreciation and impairment losses are € 18,413 thousand compared to € 10,958 thousand in the same period of previous year. The application of the new IFRS 16 standard has increased amortization for € 4,032 thousand.

The result for the nine months 2019 includes € 2,074 thousand as a loss due to the reduction in the value of the goodwill recorded, following the merger by incorporation of the Bertolini company into the parent company Emak S.p.A., recorded in the second quarter of 2019.

Non-annualized operating result as a percentage of net invested capital is 5.4% (5.8% excluding IFRS 16 effects), compared to 10.4% of the same period last year.

Net profit

Net Profit of third quarter 2019 is equal to € 1,127 thousand compared to € 1,242 thousand of the same period last year.

Net Profit for the first nine months of 2019 is € 11,595 thousand, compared to € 23,313 thousand in the same period of previous year.

Financial management result for the same period 2018 included a capital gain of € 2,472 thousand. The increase in the item "Financial expenses" is due for € 708 thousand to the effects deriving from the application of the new standard IFRS 16.

Currency management of the first nine months 2019 is positive for € 1,173 thousand, compared to a negative value of € 416 thousand for the same period. The result of the period is related to the currency trend in which the Group operates, mainly the US Dollar.

The actual tax rate is equal to 33.9% compared to 28.6% in the same period of last year.

The highest tax incidence of this nine months, compared to the first nine months of previous year, is mainly attributable to the accounting of the reduction in the value of goodwill of the Bertolini branch, which is fiscally not relevant (with a negative effect on tax rate of 3.3%) while the tax rate of the same period last year was positively influenced by the accounting for a capital gain, which had no fiscal impact (with a positive effect on tax rate of 2.1%).

Outdoor Power Equipment

Turnover in the third quarter increased over the comparable period, partly recovering the delay accumulated in the first six months; this thanks to the contribution of European markets which more than offset the stagnation of demand in the Turkish market, hit by the economic and geopolitical crisis.

It should be noted that starting from the third quarter 2019 revenues for intra-group services were reclassified for a total of € 758 thousand from the item "Revenues" to the item "Other operating revenues".

Ebitda in the nine months decreased compared to the same period due to lower sales volumes, a negative product / area / customer mix, despite the containment of costs. During the period, non-ordinary expenses were recorded for € 50 thousand (€ 1,683 thousand in the same period of 2018).

The application of the IFRS 16 accounting principle had a positive effect on Ebitda of € 555 thousand.

The operating result is negative due to higher amortization and the recognition of the loss due to the reduction in the value of the goodwill of the company Bertolini for € 2,074 thousand.

It should be noted that net of the effects resulting from the application of the new accounting standard IFRS 16, "Net Financial Position" would have amounted to € 32,813 thousand (instead of € 36,566 thousand) and "Noncurrent assets" would amount to € 133,661 thousand (instead of € 137,370 thousand).

Pumps and High Pressure Water Jetting

Segment sales in the third quarter increased by 2.1%; the slight decline in Europe, mainly due to cleaning products, was more than offset by the increase in turnover in the industrial sector in Latin America. Sales in the Asia, Africa and Oceania areas were substantially stable compared to the same period, with the good performance of the Far East markets that made it possible to recover the decrease in the Turkish market.

The Ebitda of the segment was affected by higher costs for raw materials, an unfavorable product / customer mix and higher costs for marketing activities and strengthening the organization. The application of the IFRS 16

accounting principle had a positive effect on Ebitda of € 2,172 thousand. The result of the period includes nonordinary revenues for € 83 thousand.

It should be noted that net of the effects resulting from the application of the new accounting standard IFRS 16, "Net Financial Position" would have amounted to € 85,691 thousand (instead of € 104,384 thousand) and "Noncurrent assets" would amount to € 77,549 thousand (instead of € 96,101).

Components and Accessories

Revenues in the third quarter recorded double-digit growth (18.4%) driven in particular by performance on the North American market, thanks to business development with large-scale retail chains and OEM customers. Revenues for the nine months, with the same scope of consolidation (excluding the revenues of the first quarter 2018 of Raico, equal to € 3,111 thousand, sold on March 30, 2018), grew by 3.5% compared to the same period.

The Ebitda of the segment benefited from the recovery in sales volumes during the third quarter and partly from the trend in the costs of some raw materials. The exit from the scope of consolidation of Raico S.r.l. had an impact of € 195 thousand. During the period, non-ordinary expenses were recorded for € 359 thousand, while in the same period 2018 non-ordinary revenues were recorded for € 309 thousand and non-ordinary costs for € 39 thousand. The application of the IFRS 16 accounting principle had a positive effect on Ebitda of € 1,768 thousand.

It should be noted that net of the effects resulting from the application of the new accounting standard IFRS 16, "Net Financial Position" would have amounted to € 14,615 thousand (instead of € 23,598 thousand) and "Noncurrent assets" would amount to € 22,023 thousand (instead of € 30,889 thousand).

Business outlook

The manufacturing sector in Europe remains in contraction. The external scenario sees a slowdown in the economy and global trade for both emerging and industrialized countries.

The third quarter saw a positive turnover trend at a consolidated level with growth of 5.9%, partially recovering the delay accumulated in the first six months.

Based on the order backlog and commercial forecasts, turnover for the last quarter is expected in line with the same period of the previous year.

Subsequent events

On 31 July 2019 the Board of Directors of the subsidiary Tecomec S.r.l. approved the project of total demerger of the company Geoline Electronic S.r.l., held at 51%, following which Tecomec will enter into possession of the "Control units and electrical valves" branch, while the "Electronic products" branch will remain to the minority shareholder.

The operation is expected to close by 2019 and is justified by strategic-organizational reasons. Once the demerger plan is completed, the Geoline company will proceed with its dissolution without liquidation.

No other relevant events are reported.

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 2018, 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.

Acquisition of 30% of Agres Sistemas Eletrônicos SA

On January 25, 2019, the subsidiary Tecomec S.r.l. has completed the purchase of 30% of the share capital of Agres Sistemas Eletrônicos S.A. ("Agres"), a Brazilian company based in Pinais (Paranà) active in the development and supply, mainly on the local market, of electronic systems (software, hardware and related services) for agricultural machines, in particular spraying and weeding machines and seeders.

The transaction is part of the Group's external growth strategy. With the entry into the capital of Agres the Emak Group will expand its offer of agricultural products, in particular electronic ones, in the Components and Accessories segment, where it already boasts an important position.

In 2018 the company achieved revenues of 21.7 million Reais (approximately € 5 million). The value of the transaction was 11.7 million Reais (approximately € 2.8 million). The agreements governing the transaction also provide for Put & Call Option on a further 55% stake to be exercised in 2023.

The fair value of the assets and liabilities subject to partial acquisition determined on the basis of the last approved financial statements of December 31, 2018, the price paid and the financial disbursement are detailed below:

The difference between the price paid and the corresponding portion of shareholders' equity is provisionally due to goodwill: the company is valued in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method starting from 1 January 2019 and, consequently, this goodwill is reflected in the book value of the equity investment entered in the balance.

The turnover of the associated companies in the first nine months 2019, amounting to approximately 22 million Reais, is up compared to € 15.4 million Reais of the same period last year.
