Eindhoven, the Netherlands – Signify (Euronext: LIGHT), the world leader in lighting, today announced the company's second quarter 2021 results.
"In the second quarter we saw an acceleration of the pace of recovery in comparison to the first three months of the year. We successfully executed our strategy as demand for our connected lighting offers and our growth platforms remained strong. The consumer segment held its momentum and demand for conventional products proved resilient. The professional lighting segment showed sequential improvements, while still impacted by both extended lockdowns and supply constraints. Overall, we managed to improve the operating margin by 190 basis points and generated a solid free cash flow. We again progressed on our Brighter Lives, Better World 2025 program, well on track to achieving our four key objectives. Looking back at the first half year, we are pleased with the pace of our recovery in a volatile and disrupted environment, achieving more than 8 percent comparable sales growth with an operating margin improvement of 230 basis points and generating EUR 272 million of free cash flow," said CEO Eric Rondolat.
"While we are seeing increasing COVID-19 cases, new variants leading to continued lockdowns in parts of the world and supply constraints continuing to impact us into the second half of the year, we are confident that the measures we have taken will enable us to counter those challenges and deliver our guidance for the year."
¹ This press release contains certain non-IFRS financial measures and ratios, such as comparable sales growth, EBITA, adjusted EBITA and free cash flow, and related ratios, which are not recognized measures of financial performance or liquidity under IFRS. For a reconciliation of these non-IFRS financial measures to the most directly comparable IFRS financial measures, see appendix B, Reconciliation of non-IFRS financial measures, of this press release. 2 Excludes 2 million connected light points for Telensa, as acquisition closed on July 1, 2021
In the second quarter of the year, Signify continued on the journey to achieving its ambitious goals for the Brighter Lives, Better World 2025 sustainability program, progressing on all four commitments that contribute to doubling its positive impact on environment and society:
• Double the pace of the Paris agreement:
Cumulative carbon reduction over value chain was 33 million tonnes, ahead of track for the 2025 target of 340 million tonnes. This is mainly caused by an accelerated shift to energy efficient and connected LED lighting in the first two quarters of 2021, decreasing our carbon emissions in the use phase.
In addition, Signify received recognition for its leadership in sustainability, amongst which a first place ranking in our industry and top 5% of the ESG Risk Ratings Universe from Sustainalytics.
Signify continues to expect comparable sales growth of 3% to 6% for the full year 2021. In addition, Signify expects to achieve an Adjusted EBITA margin of 11.5% to 12.5% and free cash flow to exceed 8% of sales for the full year 2021. As previously stated, the company reassesses its medium-term guidance after each financial year.

Sales increased by 9.6% to EUR 1,609 million, including 4.5% negative currency effects. Comparable sales increased by 14.1%, driven by continued strong demand for connected lighting offers and traction on the consumer side. The adjusted gross margin increased by 110 bps to 39.7%, driven by both carefully balancing pricing decisions versus cost increases, and a favorable mix. Adjusted indirect costs increased by EUR 25 million, mainly reflecting last year's positive effect of solidarity measures by our employees, and government contributions. Adjusted EBITA amounted to EUR 175 million, a 32.0% increase compared to the same period last year. The Adjusted EBITA margin improved by 190 bps to 10.9%, mainly driven by a gross margin improvement and operating leverage.
Total restructuring costs were EUR 9 million, acquisition-related charges were EUR 13 million and other incidental costs were EUR 16 million, mainly related to environmental provisions for inactive sites and transformation costs. Net income increased to EUR 82 million, as higher operational profitability in 2021 was offset by the impact of a significant one-time tax benefit in the second quarter of 2020. Free cash flow was EUR 104 million, reflecting a healthy balance between profitability and some reinvestment in continued top line recovery.

Sales increased by 7.2% to EUR 837 million, with a comparable sales growth of 12.6%, demonstrating a sequential improvement that is only partially offset by supply constraints. Adjusted EBITA increased to EUR 89 million, resulting in an Adjusted EBITA margin of 10.7%, supported by operating leverage.

The Rest of the world grew by 20.8%, as the underlying recovery path showed robustness across most geographies.

The first half of 2021 showed early signs of an economic recovery as vaccination rollouts led to an easing of lockdowns in many parts of the world. The strongest market recovery was seen in China and across Europe, while the Americas region continued to be more strongly impacted by the pandemic.
Signify saw particularly strong consumer demand for connected lighting products, a resilient performance of conventional lighting, while professional demand continued to be impacted by government measures to curb the spread of the virus as well as supply constraints caused by component shortages and logistics challenges.
Sales amounted to EUR 3,209 million, an increase of 10.8% on a nominal basis. Adjusted for a -5.5% currency effect and an 8.0% consolidation and other impact (mainly related to the acquisition of Cooper Lighting), comparable sales grew by 8.4%. LED-based sales accounted for 82% of total sales, including Cooper Lighting.
The gross margin increased by 130 basis points to 39.3%. The adjusted gross margin of 39.7% was 130 basis points higher than last year. Indirect costs as percentage of sales increased by 10 basis points to 33.7%, while the adjusted indirect costs as percentage of sales were 120 basis points lower at 30.8%. Income from operations amounted to EUR 191 million. EBITA amounted to EUR 251 million, which is an increase of 32.3% over last year. When adjusting for EUR 56 million of restructuring costs, partly related to the restructuring of the central organization, EUR 28 million of acquisition-related charges and EUR 12 million of incidental items, the Adjusted EBITA amounted to EUR 347 million, or 10.8% of sales. Net income was EUR 142 million compared with EUR 108 million last year, mainly driven by higher income from operations.
Compared with the end of June 2020, working capital as percentage of sales decreased by 330 basis points to 4.0% of sales, reflecting structural working capital improvement. Net cash from operating activities was EUR 318 million, an increase of EUR 27 million over last year, mainly driven by higher profitability.
Sales amounted to EUR 1,631 million, reflecting a nominal sales increase of 14.8%, mainly as a result of the consolidation of Cooper Lighting. Comparable sales grew by 5.1%, gradually improving on the back of a stronger COVID-19 impact in 2020.
Income from operations amounted to EUR 65 million. EBITA of EUR 120 million included EUR 41 million of restructuring costs, acquisition-related charges and other incidental costs. Adjusted EBITA amounted to 161 million, resulting in an improvement in the Adjusted EBITA margin of 160 bps to 9.9% which was driven by continued gross margin management and operating leverage.
Sales amounted to EUR 1,128 million, an increase of 12.6% on a nominal basis and an increase of 17.9% on a comparable basis, driven by strong consumer demand.
Income from operations amounted to EUR 135 million. EBITA of EUR 138 million included EUR 10 million of restructuring and other incidental costs. Adjusted EBITA was EUR 148 million. The adjusted EBITA margin improved by 400 basis points to 13.1%, mainly driven by a solid gross margin improvement, benefiting from a strong consumer business.
Sales amounted to EUR 440 million, a decline of 5.9% on a nominal and 1.2% on a comparable basis, which is estimated to be lower than the market decline and hence results in continued market share gains.
Income from operations and EBITA both increased by EUR 4 million to EUR 88 million. This includes EUR 2 million positive impact of restructuring and other incidental costs. The Adjusted EBITA margin improved by 200 basis points to 19.6%, mainly driven by pricing discipline and operational efficiencies.
Reported EBITA amounted to EUR -96 million. This represents amounts not allocated to the operating segments and includes certain costs related to group enabling functions as well as central R&D activities to drive innovation. Adjusted EBITA amounted to EUR -48 million, compared with EUR -46 million in the same period last year. Restructuring and other incidental costs were EUR 48 million, which were mainly related to the restructuring of the central organization.
1 This section contains certain non-IFRS financial measures and ratios, such as comparable sales growth, EBITA, Adjusted EBITA, free cash flow, and related ratios, which are not recognized measures of financial performance or liquidity under IFRS. For a reconciliation of these non-IFRS financial measures to the most directly comparable IFRS measures, see "Reconciliation of non-IFRS financial measures".
Signify continues to expect comparable sales growth of 3% to 6% for the full year 2021. In addition, Signify expects to achieve an Adjusted EBITA margin of 11.5% to 12.5% and free cash flow to exceed 8% of sales for the full year 2021. The company reassesses its medium-term guidance for the period 2021-2023 after each financial year.

As used herein, the term Signify is used for Signify N.V. (the 'Company') and its subsidiaries within the meaning of Section 2:24b of the Dutch Civil Code.
The corporate seat of the Company is in Eindhoven, the Netherlands and its registered office is at High Tech Campus 48, 5656 AE Eindhoven. The Company is registered in the Commercial Register of the Chamber of Commerce under number 65220692.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' as adopted by the European Union. Several other amendments apply to the accounting standards for the first time in 2021, but do not have an impact on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Signify.
The income tax expense is recognized based on management's estimate of the weighted average effective annual income tax rate expected for the full year.
The accounting policies applied in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those applied in chapter 14.6 of the Consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.
The COVID-19 pandemic has created an unprecedented situation globally. From the outset, Signify has taken considerable action focused on the health and safety of its employees, on customer engagement and supply chain continuity and on free cash flow generation and operating expenses optimization.
Signify continues to closely monitor the development of the COVID-19 outbreak by analyzing the risks which the pandemic imposes for its financial results, position and cash flows and implementing mitigating actions promptly.
In Signify's Consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, Signify included an analysis of the impact of COVID-19 on certain areas where the most significant judgments and estimates are made. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, no significant events and transactions were identified which resulted in an update of the previous views and observations disclosed.
Signify has not identified events during the sixmonth period ended June 30, 2021 that required an update of the goodwill impairment tests that were performed in the fourth quarter of 2020.
The preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from the estimates.
The areas where the most significant judgments and estimates are made, were the same as those disclosed in Signify's Consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.

The effective tax rate for the six-month period ended June 30, 2021, was 18.5% compared to (3.6%) in 2020. The increase in the effective tax rate is mainly caused by one-time non cash tax benefits from changes in the organizational structure in the first six months of 2020.

An amount of EUR 292 million was paid in cash in June and the remaining dividend tax liability of EUR 49 million presented in Other liabilities as at June 30, 2021 was paid in July.
Between February and May 2021, the Company purchased shares to cover obligations arising from its long-term incentive performance share plans and other employee share plans. The total number of shares repurchased was 1,937,489 for a total consideration of EUR 83 million.
