JO MAES, ORDINA CEO, ON THE RESULTS

"We closed 2017 with a profit after a positive fourth quarter in which revenue in the Netherlands was up on the back of a strong increase in business among clients in the public sector and financial services. Belgium/Luxembourg once again performed strongly.

For the full year 2017, we noted modest revenue growth and a lower return. Results came under pressure in the first half of the year, but improved in the course of the second half. The improvement in the second half of the year is encouraging and was driven by persistent demand in the market, higher productivity and lower costs due to the now completed effectiveness and efficiency programme. Our cash position was higher at year-end 2017.

Over the past year, we focused on revenue growth and the recruitment of new employees. Thanks to extra efforts on the recruitment front, we hired more new employees than ever before in 2017. Staff turnover remained high throughout the year, particularly in the Netherlands. The dynamic employment market means the retention of our professionals remains a top priority.

Delivering added value to our clients as an IT and business partner is a key development. Our business propositions play an important role in this. They enable us to translate technology into solutions for business issues. In 2017, we booked some excellent results with each of these propositions; for instance, we now have more than 60 High performance teams working for clients. This has resulted in recognition in the market. For instance, Ordina secured first place in the category Secondment & Outsourcing of the MT1000 ranking and a high recommendation score in the Giarte survey."

Netherlands In the Netherlands, revenue was down 0.7% at EUR 254.3 million (2016: EUR 256.1 million). The EBITDA margin declined to 2.2% (2016: 2.5%).

In the Netherlands we recognise Delivery and the Innovation cluster.

Delivery Revenue at Delivery declined by 0.8% to EUR 234.6 million in 2017 (2016: EUR 236.5 million), largely due to a lower number of direct employees at Ordina. Due to higher productivity in the second half of the year and revenue from external hires (including freelancers) we realised revenue growth in the second half of 2017. EBITDA declined to EUR 6.0 million in 2017, from EUR 9.0 million in 2016.

Innovation cluster The Innovation cluster recorded a rise in revenue of 1.0% to EUR 19.8 million (2016: EUR 19.6 million). EBITDA improved to EUR -0.3 million (2016: EUR -2.6 million).

Belgium/ Luxembourg In Belgium/Luxembourg, revenue rose by 3.5% to EUR 90.5 million (2016: EUR 87.5 million). EBITDA was up at EUR 8.8 million (2016: EUR 8.7 million). The positive return was largely driven by higher revenues and high productivity.

MARKET DEVELOPMENTS

Revenue Q4 2017

.

Revenue increased by 7.2% to EUR 90.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2017 (Q4 2016: EUR 84.2 million). Ordina recorded strong growth in the public sector and in financial services. In industry, revenue declined by 5.5% compared to the previous year. The decline in revenue from healthcare in Q4 was due to reduced revenue from pharmaceutical clients in Belgium/Luxembourg.

  • Public sector Revenue in the public sector rose by 9.1% to EUR 127.1 million in 2017 (2016: EUR 116.5 million). This increase was primarily driven by higher revenue from the framework agreements Ordina acquired in the Netherlands in 2016 and the successful roll-out of our High performance teams proposition at a number of large clients.
  • Financial services Revenue in the financial services sector declined by 5.5% to EUR 95.7 million (2016: EUR 101.3 million). Revenue in this sector increased in Belgium/Luxembourg in 2017. In the second half of the year, revenue in the Netherlands recovered and we realised growth in this sector.
  • Industry In the industry sector, revenue declined by 1.5% to EUR 99.6 million (2016: EUR 101.1 million). Revenue increased in Belgium/Luxembourg. In the Netherlands, the decline was due to a drop in demand from our clients in the telecom and technology sector. Revenue in the logistics segment increased in 2017.

Revenue FY 2017

Healthcare Revenue in the healthcare sector declined by 9.0% to EUR 22.5 million (2016: EUR 24.7 million), due in particular to the lower revenue from compliance consultancy in the pharmaceutical industry in Belgium/Luxembourg.

EMPLOYEES

At year-end 2017, the total number of FTEs had declined by 106 and the total number of indirect employees by 24 FTEs. At the end of 2017, the total number of employees stood at 2,559 FTEs (year-end 2016: 2,689 FTEs).

Depreciation Depreciation amounted to EUR 7.6 million in 2017 (2016: EUR 5.4 million). The increase in depreciation costs was partly due to the fact that we decommissioned a part of our ERP application. The simplification of our processes means we have opted for a simplified environment. As a result, we accelerated the depreciation of part of the ERP application.

Net profit & dividend The net profit for 2017 came in at EUR 3.1 million (2016: EUR 5.0 million). Net earnings per share (EPS) amounted to EUR 0.03 (2016: EUR 0.05). The General Meeting of Shareholders will be asked to approve the payment of a cash dividend of 2 euro cents (EUR 0.02) per share, to be charged to the 2017 net profit. This is a pay-out ratio of 60% of the net profit and is related to the increased cash position at year-end 2017. The remainder of the net profit will be

Shares Ordina issued no new shares in 2017 (issue in 2016: 297,262 shares). The company intends to acquire 30,610 ordinary shares in Ordina N.V. in the context of the share bonus schemes for the Management Board. This will prevent any share dilution.
