Comments on economic figures

Revenues from sales

The turnover of third quarter 2018 amounted to € 88,695 thousand, compared to € 88,142 thousand of last year, an increase of 0.6%.

In the first nine months 2018 Emak Group achieved a consolidated turnover of € 355,155 thousand, compared to € 322,215 thousand of last year, an increase of 10.2%. This improvement is due to the contribution of the change in the scope of consolidation by 10.2%, to the negative effect of the exchange rate by 1.7% and to an organic growth of 1.7%.

The effect of change in scope of consolidation is determined by the Lavorwash Group in the first half 2018 for € 39,252 thousand and by the exit from the area of Raico S.r.l. (sold on 30 March 2018), that in the period April-September 2017 contributed to the turnover for € 6,497 thousand.

EBITDA

EBITDA in the third quarter of 2018 amounted to € 7,385 thousand, increasing by 57.1% compared to € 4,700 thousand in the corresponding quarter of last year. 2018 figure was affected by non-ordinary income amounting to € 309 thousand and non-ordinary expenses for € 130 thousand. In the same period last year were booked nonordinary expenses for € 886 thousand.

EBITDA for the first nine months of 2018 amounted to € 44,095 thousand (12.4% of revenues) compared to € 37,199 thousand (11.5% of revenues) in the corresponding period of the previous year, an increase of 18.5%.

In the nine months 2018 were booked non-ordinary revenues for € 678 thousand and non-ordinary expenses for € 2,088 thousand, mainly related to costs for staff reorganization in Emak S.p.A. (for more details please see the explanatory notes of this management report).

In the nine months 2017 were booked non-ordinary revenues for € 150 thousand and non-ordinary expenses for € 1,366 thousand, mainly related to costs for services born for the acquisition of the Lavorwash Group.

EBITDA before non-ordinary income and expenses amounts to € 45,505 thousand (equivalent to 12.8% of turnover) compared to € 38,415 thousand (equal to 11.9% of sales) in the same period of 2017.

The change in the result was positively influenced by the entry into the consolidation area in the first half of the Lavorwash Group, which contributed for € 7,425 thousand, while was negatively affected by the exit from the consolidation area of Raico S.r.l., which contributed for € 371 thousand in the period April-September 2017.

Furthermore, the result was affected by a general increase in raw material costs.

Personnel expenses increased following the entrance in the scope of consolidation of the Lavorwash Group, with the entrance of 322 employees. The average number of employees employed by the Group in the nine months was equal to 2,143, compared to 1,708 in the same period last year (considering the effective dates of the scope of consolidation).

EBIT

EBIT for the third quarter 2018 is € 3,673 thousand, compared to € 1,438 thousand for the same period of last year.

EBIT for the first nine months 2018 is € 33,137 thousand, as a percentage of sales stands at 9.3%, compared to € 27,825 thousand (8.6% of sales) for the same period of last year.

Depreciation and amortization are € 10,958 thousand, compared to € 9,374 thousand in the same period of the previous year.

Non-annualized EBIT as a percentage of net invested capital is 10.4% (10.8% net of non-ordinary effects), compared to 9% of the same period of the previous year (9.4% net of non-ordinary effects).

Net profit

Net profit for the third quarter of 2018 was € 1,242 thousand, compared to a negative result of € 411 thousand in the same period of the previous year.

Net income for the first nine months of 2018 was € 23,313 thousand, compared to € 15,753 thousand in the same period of the previous year.

Financial management result benefited from the capital gain of € 2,472 thousand, realized with the sale of the subsidiary Raico S.r.l., recorded at the item financial income.

Currency management for the first nine months of 2018 was negative for € 416 thousand, compared to a negative balance of € 3,455 thousand of the same period. The result of the period is affected by the exchange ratios Brazilian Reais/US Dollar and Brazilian Reais/Euro, which determined a negative assessment of currency positions, denominated in these currencies in the Brazilian companies of the Group, at the end of the period.

At 30 September 2018 the tax rate amounted to 28.6% compared to 28.9% in the same period last year. The ninemonth tax rate is positively influenced by the reduction in the tax rates applicable in some countries in which the Group operates and by the effects of the accounting of the capital gain deriving from the deconsolidation of the company Raico S.r.l, not taxable. The tax rate is negatively influenced by the effect of the missed allocation, prudentially, of deferred tax assets on fiscal losses recorded by some companies of the Group.

Outdoor Power Equipment

Sales of the segment decreased overall by 1.7% compared to the same period of last year. The European market has suffered from unfavourable weather conditions in Central-Northern Countries, which penalized seasonal sales of gardening products. Sales in the Americas area were affected by the negative performance of some Latin American countries. Sales in the area Asia, Africa and Oceania benefited from the positive results achieved in the Middle East markets, despite the slowdown registered in the third quarter on the Turkish market, mainly due to the instability of the country's political context.

EBITDA of the segment benefited from a favourable product mix and initiatives taken to reduce operating and personnel costs. During the period the Group incurred non-ordinary expenses totalling € 1,683 thousand, of which € 1,210 thousand for reorganization costs.

Pumps and High Pressure Water Jetting

Sales in this segment are increasing due to the contribution of € 39,252 thousand linked to the consolidation area and to the organic growth of 5.6%.

Sales on the European market were up thanks to both the contribution of Lavorwash and the positive organic performance, especially on the Italian and Eastern European markets.

The growth in the Americas area derives from a good performance with the same perimeter in all the main markets, to which is added the effect of the consolidation area. Sales in the Asia, Africa and Oceania area recorded significant organic growth driven primarily by the Far East markets

EBITDA benefited both from the positive organic performance and the expansion of the scope of consolidation for an amount of € 7,425 thousand. The result of the period includes non-ordinary costs for a total amount of € 366 thousand and non-ordinary revenues for € 369 thousand.

Components and Accessories

Revenues in the segment recorded an overall decrease of 10.5%. Excluding the turnover of Raico S.r.l. in the period April - September 2017 (€ 6,497 thousand concentrated in Europe), the decrease would have been 3.6%. Lower sales achieved on the European market were partly due to the lack of contribution of Raico starting from the second quarter, and partly to lower sales of gardening products because of the negative season. The change in sales in the Americas areas is attributable to a slight increase in turnover in the Latin American markets and to a significant decrease recorded in the North American market. This reduction is due in part to lower sales of products for gardening and partly to the revision of the logistics model in the distribution to some customers. However, the latter contributed, together with a good performance on the Far East markets, to the growth of the Asia, Africa and Oceania area.

EBITDA for the segment was affected by lower sales volumes, an unfavorable product mix and higher raw material costs. The exit from the perimeter of consolidation of Raico S.r.l. impacted € 371 thousand. During the period, non-ordinary revenues were recorded for € 309 thousand and non-ordinary costs for € 39 thousand.

Business outlook

Given the overall positive result of the first nine months, the order backlog and the stock situation at the network, the Group expects that the positive trend recorded so far will continue in the fourth quarter and then close the year with improved results compared to last year.

Subsequent events

No significant events occur.

Comments on the financial statements

This 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". What above as of now complies with the imminent entry into force of the provisions laid down in the amended Article. 82-ter of CONSOB Regulation for Issuers resolutions No. 11971/1999 and No. 19770/2016.

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 2017, with the particularities described 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.
