Emak Group profile

The Emak Group develops, manufactures and distributes a wide range of products in three business areas complementary to each other: Outdoor Power Equipment (OPE); Pumps and High Pressure Water Jetting (PWJ); Components and Accessories (C&A).

I. Outdoor Power Equipment, includes the development, manufacture and marketing of products for gardening, forestry and small agricultural equipments, such as brush cutters, lawnmowers, garden tractors, chainsaws, tillers and motor cultivators. The Group distributes its products under its main brands Oleo-Mac, Efco, Bertolini and Nibbi Staub (the latter only to the French market). The Group's product range is intended for professional and high demanding private users. The Group operates mainly in the specialized dealer channel, distributing its products through its commercial subsidiaries and, where it hasn't a direct presence, through a network of 135 distributors; it is estimated to serve around the world over 22,000 specialty dealers.

The reference market of the Group (considered to be the specialized dealer channel, excluding large-scale distribution) has an estimated value of 7-8 billion of Euros. In mature markets such as North America and Western Europe, demand is mainly for replacement: the main driver is represented by economic and gardening trends. Weather conditions are a factor affecting the level of demand for some product families such as brush cutters, lawnmowers and garden tractors in the spring-summer and chainsaws in the autumnwinter. In emerging markets, such as the Far East, Eastern Europe and South America, demand is mainly for "first purchase": the main driver in these areas is economic growth, the evolution of agricultural mechanization and relative support policies. Another factor that influences the demand is the price of commodities: the trend in oil prices can affect the demand for alternative energy sources, such as wood for heating and consequently the demand for chain saws; the trend in the price of agricultural commodities influences investments in agricultural equipment.

II. Pompe e High Pressure Water Jetting, this category brings together the development, manufacture and marketing of diaphragm pumps intended for agriculture (spraying and weeding), piston pumps for the industrial sector, of professional pressure washers and hydrodynamic units and machines for urban cleaning. The Group distributes its products under Comet, HPP, PTC, Master Fluid and Lemasa brands. Group customers are the followings: manufacturers of machines for spraying and weeding with regard to agriculture pumps; builders of hydrodynamic units and pressure washers in relation to industrial pumps; specialized dealers and contractors respectively for pressure washers and hydrodynamic units.

The market has a value globally estimated between 2.5 and 3.4 billion Euros. The pumps for agriculture market consists mainly of Italian operators. The demand is strongly linked to economic cycles, population growth and the resulting increase in demand for agricultural production; in developing countries demand is linked to the evolution of the mechanization of agriculture and relative support policies. The market for high pressure water jetting is constantly evolving, given the different fields of application of pumps and systems. There are several drivers of market demand, depending on the type of product:

  • a) Industrial pumps: demand is related to market performance of hydrodynamic units and pressure washers.
  • b) Professional pressure washers: economic trends; increase in hygiene standards (especially in developing countries).
  • c) Hydrodynamic units: demand is linked to the performance of sectors / fields of application such as: hydro demolition; hydro cleaning and ship repair; refineries; mines and quarries; oil industry; hydro cleaning underwater; iron and steel; foundries; chemical processes; energy production; paper mills; transport; municipalities; food; automotive and

motor Industry.

  • d) Urban cleaning: the economic policies of local governments.
  • III. Componenti ed Accessori, includes the development, manufacture and marketing of products the most representative of which are wire and heads for brushcutters; chainsaw accessories (eg. sharpeners); guns, valves and nozzles for pressure washers and agricultural applications; precision farming (sensors and computers); seats and technical parts for tractors. In this sector, the Group operates partly through its brands Tecomec, Geoline, Geoline Electronic, Mecline, Sabart, Raico, and partly by distributing products under third party brands. The Group's main customers are manufacturers of outdoor power equipment, machines for spraying and weeding, pressure washers and hydrodynamic units (high pressure washing systems) and specialized dealers. The demand for components and accessories is related to the economic cycle (OEM business) and the intensity of use of the machines (aftermarket). For products intended for the agricultural sector, demand is strongly linked to economic growth, population growth and the resulting increase in demand for agricultural production. The high pressure water jetting sector is tied to the economic cycle and to investments in market sectors for applications and hydrodynamic units.

The Group's business is affected by seasonal demand. Gardening machines and components, which represent the majority of the Group's sales, follow the purchase model of the end user. Most of the products are in fact sold in the spring and summer, seasons in which are concentrated the maintenance of the green. Whereas the principal Group's markets are in the northern hemisphere, sales are concentrated in the first and second quarters, in order to supply the network of specialized dealers in time to meet the demands of the end customer at the beginning of season. The demand for products aimed forest activity is usually higher in the second half. Demand for the products of the line Pumps and High Pressure Water Jetting sees a higher concentration in the first half given the more pronounced seasonality of sales of pumps for agriculture, while the product water jetting (industrial pumps, pressure washers and hydrodynamic units) are overall homogeneously distributed during the year.

The following graphic shows the breakdown of sales by quarter of last financial year.

Outdoor Power Equipment

The increase in sales in Europe was driven by strong performance in the third quarter in Western European countries, in particular where the Group has a direct presence, which more than offset the delay in the second quarter due to the late start of the season for gardening products, because of unfavorable weather conditions. The difference of sales in the Americas was mainly due to the South American market, which in 2015 had benefited from a special operation. The sales trend in Asia, Africa and Oceania confirms an increase compared to the figure recorded in the same period last year.

Pumps ang High Pressure Water Jetting

The increase in sales on the European market was mainly caused by the positive results obtained on the Italian market. The sales growth in the Americas was mainly due to a good performance in South America, thanks to strong performance in Mexico and the contribution of the first quarter sales of Lemasa not included in the same period of 2015, which offset the slight decrease in the North American market. In Asia, Africa and Oceania sales were in line overall compared to the same period of last year.

Components and Accessories

The growth of the European market sales was due to the continuation of the positive trend in the markets of Western Europe and the Italian market as well as the recovery in the third quarter in the countries of Eastern Europe. The increase in sales in the Americas was mainly due to the good results obtained during the first half especially with reference to the US market. In the markets of Asia, Africa and Oceania was confirmed in the third quarter, the positive sales trend recorded in the first six months of the year.

EBITDA

EBITDA for the third quarter 2016 amounts to 6,087 thousand Euro up 7.6% compared to 5,162 thousand Euro in the corresponding quarter of last year.

EBITDA in the first nine months of 2016 amounts to 36,314 thousand Euro against 32,593 thousand Euro in the corresponding period last year, an increase of 11.4%. The ratio of EBITDA to revenues stands at 11.7% compared with 10.8% in the same previous period.

The increase in volumes and the favorable sales mix among the three business areas contributed to the improvement in Group profitability.

Personnel costs is higher, compared to the same period last year, partly because of the different scope of consolidation, partly because of the higher incidence of the cost of temporary staff employed in some Group plants to meet higher production volumes, as well as for the least used social welfare. Overall, the Group employed an average of 1,814 compared to 1,808 employees over the same period last year.

Operating costs were lower than in the same period mainly due to the continuation of actions to reduce general operating costs and efficiencies gained on service costs. The figure for the nine months 2016 includes charges of 582 thousand Euro for M&A and restructuring transactions. In the year-earlier period, the figure included charges of 1,610 thousand Euro for litigation, M&A and reorganization. Excluding these costs, EBITDA would have been 36,896 thousand Euro (11.9% of sales) compared to 34,203 thousand Euro (equal to 11.3% of sales) in the same period of 2015.

Operating profit

The third-quarter 2016 operating profit is equal to 2,959 thousand Euro, against 2,123 thousand Euro for the same quarter last year.

Operating profit for the first nine months of 2016 is equal to 26,691 thousand Euro, against 23,609 thousand Euro in the same period last year.

Depreciation and amortization amount to 9,623 thousand Euro, against 8,984 thousand Euro for the same period last year.

The ratio of operating profit percentage of revenues, for the nine months is 8.6%, compared to 7.8% in September 30, 2015.

The incidence, not annualized operating profit on net invested capital is 10%, compared to 8.7% in September 30, 2015.

Net profit

Net income for the third quarter 2016 is equal to 767 thousand Euro against a loss of 3,691 thousand Euro for the same period last year.

Net income for the first nine months of 2016 is 16,559 thousand Euro against 7,850 thousand Euro in the yearearlier period.

The item "Financial expenses" includes charges for the discounting of payables to assignors of Lemasa participation for 1,455 thousand Euro compared to 951 thousand Euro in the year-earlier period.

Over the same period, there were higher expenses paid for price rectification relative to the acquisition of S.I.Agro Mexico in the amount of 360 thousand Euro

Currency management of the first nine months 2016 was positive by 1,631 thousand Euro while it was negative for 4,991 thousand Euro in the same period last year (accrued during the third quarter of 2015 due to the strong devaluation of the Brazilian Real against the Euro and the US dollar).

During the month of August, the subsidiary Comet S.p.A. proceeded to convert in capital the intercompany loan, amounting to 9,240 thousand Euro, previously granted to the subsidiary Comet do Brasil, generating an exchange rate difference of approximately 1,640 thousand Euro (consequently to the strengthening of the Brazilian currency).

The valuation of commercial items to the September 30 exchange rates has seen the positive effects of the appreciation of the Real against the Euro and the US dollar partially offset by the devaluation of the Mexican Peso against Euro and the US Dollar.

The tax rate amounts to 32.9%, down compared to 48.2% in the same period last year. The effective tax rate for the first nine months reflects a positive effect on the parent company, amounting to 606 thousand Euro related to the recognition of Facility "ACE" (Aid to Economic Growth), which had not yet been recognized in equal period last year. In addition, the tax rate for the same period last year was negatively impacted by the recognition of charges for tax litigations on prior years for 838 thousand Euro (with a 5.6% effect on the tax rate for 2015) and the nonregistration , for prudential purposes, of the deferred tax assets on losses carryforwards in the amount of approximately 970 thousand Euro (with a 6.4% effect on the tax rate for 2015).

Comments on the financial statements

General information

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 2015.

  • 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.
