Stépan Breedveld, CEO Ordina, about the results

"We closed the first half of the year in profit. The improvement compared with last year was driven by a continuation of the strong performance of the Belgium/Luxembourg division and the cost-saving programme in the Netherlands. Revenues in Belgium/Luxembourg once again developed positively while we noted a slight decline in the Netherlands. In the Netherlands, growth in the financial services and industry segments was not enough to fully offset the decline in the public sector.

Ordina was free of debt at the end of the first half of 2016 on the back of improved returns and solid working capital management.

The tightened strategy is paying dividends. In the coming period, we will increase our focus on the continued development of key accounts and the innovation cluster, as well as on the recruitment and retention of employees. In order to increase employee engagement, in the summer months we organised more than fourty strategy and inspiration sessions for all our employees, which we used to explain and discuss Ordina's strategy in detail.

Our efforts in the field of innovative digital services are also paying off. Clockwork, our digital engagement bureau, has once again won the Dutch Interactive Award (DIA) with Studystore. Clockwork won the award because visitor numbers at the online student book store increased sharply on the back of the campaign."

Strategy update

Streamlining and savings

The cost-savings programme is now all but complete. The impact of the cost-savings programme on the results in the first half was EUR 5.9 million and will be around EUR 11-12 million for the full year 2016. This comes on top of the EUR 1.5 million already realised in 2015. The remaining EUR 1.5 – 2.5 million will become visible in the 2017 results. This will mean we have realised the entire targeted annual savings of EUR 15 million. The savings included cuts in both direct and indirect employees, as well as process improvements and out-of-pocket expenses. This has led to lower overhead costs and reduced availability, which has bolstered returns.

Ordina has made a number of organisational changes, which included putting a single Operational Director in charge of professional services, consulting and application management in the Netherlands.

Growth and investment

In order to accelerate our innovation agenda, Ordina has set up a separate cluster for activities with an innovative or start-up character. The aim of this innovation cluster is to provide a platform for innovative technologies, concepts and propositions and develop these innovations towards a healthy scale and returns. The innovation cluster is currently in the start-up phase.

Due to the persistent decline in the public sector and increased staff turnover in the Netherlands, we are planning to devote extra efforts to turn around the revenue trend. These efforts include focusing on key accounts, innovation and the continued development of the region North.

On top of this, our new HR director will head a drive to engage in programmes for the recruitment and retention of staff. We will also continue Young Professionals programme. This programme has already resulted in the recruitment of 63 YPs in the first half of 2016.

In order to increase employee engagement, during the summer months we organised more than fourty strategy and inspiration sessions for all our employees, which we used explain and discuss Ordina's strategy in detail.

Netherlands

In the Netherlands, we recognise professional services, consulting, application management and the innovation cluster.

In our professional services activities, we design, build and test applications for our clients, for both existing package solutions and customised solutions. In H1, revenue was virtually unchanged at EUR 73.9 million (H1 2015: EUR 74.0 million). Increased productivity and the impact of the cost-saving programme boosted the recurring EBITDA margin to 7.4% (H1 2015: 1.1%).

In our consulting activities, we advise our clients on improvements to their processes and IT systems and combine business know-how with technical expertise to create sustainable solutions in fields such as business intelligence. Revenue was down 9.9% at EUR 13.2 million (H1 2015: EUR 14.6 million). This decline was driven by an above-average staff turnover and fewer projects in the public sector. The recurring EBITDA margin increased despite the decline in revenue and came in at 2.9% (H1 2015: 4.1% negative). There is still some room for continued improvement in productivity.

Application management provides management, maintenance and renewal of applications on the basis of long-term contracts. Revenue was up 1.6% at EUR 34.8 million (H1 2015: EUR 34.3 million). The recurring EBITDA margin increased to 4.0% partly on the back of the higher revenue (H1 2015: 1.1%). There is further room for improvement in the capacity utilisation rate and Ordina is now focusing on winning new application management contracts.

The innovation cluster was set up to provide a platform for innovative technologies, concepts and propositions and develop these innovations towards a healthy scale and returns. The rapid development in technology and innovation means that the composition of this cluster will change on a regular basis. At the moment the cluster is working on propositions relating to security, Scala and smart technologies, while our digital engagement bureau Clockwork is also a key component of the cluster. Revenue was down 10.9% at EUR 11.6 million (H1 2015: EUR 13.1 million. The recurring EBITDA margin declined to 6.4% negative (H1 2015: 2.0% negative). The cluster is currently in the start-up phase but will make a positive contribution to Ordina's returns in due course.

Belgium/ Luxembourg The Belgium/Luxembourg division delivers IT services and designs, builds and manages applications in Belgium and Luxembourg. In addition, this division devises solutions aimed at specific sectors and business issues. Revenue in this division increased by 20.6% to EUR 44.2 million (H1 2015: EUR 36.7 million). The recurring EBITDA margin increased to 11.9% (H1 2015: 8.3%). The improvement in returns was driven by higher revenues in all market segments, the performance in Luxembourg and growth in innovative application management.

1 H1 2015 figures have been adjusted for comparison purposes in connection with the reclassification of a number of
clients.
Revenue in the public sector segment declined in the first half of 2016, falling 5.4% to EUR 59.7 million (H1
2015: EUR 63.1 million). The decline was driven primarily by a drop in the number of projects. In the longer
term, IT will be a driving force in reducing costs in the sector and the continued improvement to public sector
services.
Revenue in the financial services segment was 3.3% higher at EUR 54.1 million (H1 2015: EUR 52.4 million).
This increase was largely driven by the stable performance of the sourcing contracts. Financial institutions are
being forced to anticipate the possibilities of mobile banking ever more rapidly and are exploring new business
models. In this context, Ordina is working on 'Building the new Bank', in which we are looking at how new
technologies will be used to shape the bank of the future.
Revenue in the industry market segment increased by 6.4% to EUR 51.6 million (H1 2015: EUR 48.5 million).
This increase was largely due to growth among logistics clients in this segment. We are seeing a continuing
decline in demand among a number of specific clients in the telecom and energy sectors in the Netherlands.
Revenue in the healthcare market segment was up 41.7% at EUR 12.4 million (H1 2015: EUR 8.7 million).
The increase came on the back of growing demand in the pharmaceutical sector in Belgium for specialists in
the area of IT security and compliance consultancy. There was a decline in demand in the Netherlands.

Employees

In the first half of 2016, the number of direct employees declined by 116 FTEs, partly as a result of the costsaving programme. The number of indirect employees dropped by 19 FTEs. At the end of H1 2016, the total number of employees stood at 2,751 FTEs (year-end 2015: 2,886 FTEs).

The annual turnover percentage of direct employees is around 26%, with around a third of this figure at the request of the employer. This percentage is higher than we would like and slightly higher in the Netherlands than in Belgium/Luxembourg. We have taken additional action in the field of recruitment and retention and related to increasing employee engagement.

Ordina will continue the Young Professionals programme. In the first half of 2016, a total of 63 YPs joined Ordina.

Financial developments

Revenue development Revenue increased by 2.9% to EUR 177.8 million in the first half of 2016 (H1 2015: EUR 172.7 million). The number of working days amounted to 125 (H1 2015: 123).

Recurring EBITDA

and disposals

Recurring EBITDA came in at EUR 11.8 million in the first half (H1 2015: EUR 3.3 million). Including redundancy payments (EUR 3.4 million), EBITDA came in at EUR 8.3 million (H1 2015: EUR 1.0 million negative).

Redundancy costs Redundancy costs amounted to EUR 3.4 million in the first half of 2016 (H1 2015: EUR 2.9 million). We expect total redundancy costs for the full year 2016 to come in at around EUR 6-7 million.

Acquisitions In the first half of 2016, Ordina made no acquisitions or disposals.

Depreciation Total depreciations amounted to EUR 2.7 million (H1 2015: EUR 2.7 million).

Net profit & EPS Net profit came in at EUR 3.0 million (H1 2015: loss of EUR 3.9 million). The net earnings per share (EPS) amounted to EUR 0.03 (H1 2015: EUR 0.04 negative).

Productivity / availability Productivity stood at an average of 70.2% in the first half of 2016 (H1 2015: 67.0%). Availability came in at an average of 9.1% in the first half of the year (H1 2015: 12.4%).

Net debt and cash flow At the end of Q2 2016, Ordina had a positive cash position of EUR 0.1 million (end-Q2 2015: net debt of EUR 6.1 million). This improvement was driven by the improved result and tight working capital management.

The net cash position declined by EUR 4.4 million compared to year-end 2015 (year-end 2015: EUR 4.5 positive). Movements in the net cash position in the first half of the year were as follows:

(rounded up, in EUR millions)

Year-end 2015 4.5-
Net result 3.0-
Depreciation 2.7-
Working capital, provisions & other 7.5
Interest & income taks 0.8-
Net investments 3.3
End-H1 2016 0.1-

The investments include approximately EUR 2.6 million invested in the implementation of a new ERP system at Ordina the Netherlands.

Net debt as a ratio of adjusted EBITDA, as formulated in the financing agreement, stood at 0.0 as per 30 June 2016, and was therefore well within the maximum of 2.5 agreed with Ordina's banks. The Interest Cover Ratio stood at 46.7 on 30 June 2016. This was therefore still above the minimum of 4.0 agreed with the banks.

The financing facility agreed in May 2015 has a term of five (5) years, with an initial term of three (3) years and an option for two extensions of one (1) year each. The first one (1) year extension through May 2019 was agreed on the same terms in July of 2016.

Risk Management

In the 2015 annual report (page 65 and onwards), Ordina describes the most important objectives and procedures of its risk management and control systems, together with the main risks and mitigating measures taken. Ordina has evaluated the risks identified and determined that the main risks identified remain the same in the second half of 2016. The main risks are:

  • Declining demand across all markets due to a long-term downturn. This affects both short-term hiring and the postponement of larger IT programmes. The uncertainty due to the financial and economic situation in Europe, but also the media reports and discussions related to public sector IT projects, have led to delays in the decision-making related to IT investments in the Netherlands and a shift in the demand for IT services. The current uncertainty on the market has led to a (temporary) dip in the demand for IT services.
  • For the long term, there is a risk that the deployment of professionals will come under sustained pressure (both in terms of demand and rates), with a shift to outsourcing and freelance IT specialists.
  • The risk profile of result commitments is increasing. Clients are demanding clear result commitments and Ordina has no choice to but comply with these demands. As a result of this, the profit or loss from contracts could have a material impact on Ordina's performance.
  • Market conditions may necessitate the revaluation of the goodwill of acquisitions. In view of the positive results development at both Dutch and the Belgian activities in the first half of 2016, there was no triggering event for Ordina and therefore no reason to conduct an interim impairment test.
  • In the current digital age, data security is vital. Confidential information can fall in to the hands of the wrong people through cyber-crime or the failure of IT systems.
  • The current economic conditions increase the risk that partners are unable to meet their obligations (on time). This could have a negative impact on the value of receivables.
  • Ordina has tax loss carry-forwards. In connection with these tax loss carry-forwards, Ordina has recognised a deferred tax asset in its balance sheet. If in the future the potential to claim tax losses proves insufficient, there is a risk that a portion of the deferred tax asset will have to be amortised. Ordina will in the second half of the year complete measures that will result in a part renewal of tax losses.
  • Organisations are increasingly dependent on IT systems in their business operations. There is a risk that the failure of systems will affect business operations.

For more details on this subject, we refer to Ordina's 2015 annual report on our corporate website: www.ordina.com.

We monitor the risks we have identified on a continuous basis. Nevertheless, it is possible that new or previously unidentified risks emerge that are not yet known and that could potentially have a material impact on our business operations, targets and results. We will continuously monitor any known and new risks and take control measures and initiate mitigating actions whenever this is deemed necessary.

This document contains forward looking statements regarding the financial performance of Ordina N.V. and outlines certain plans, targets and ambitions based on current insights. Such forecasts are obviously not without risk and entail a certain degree of uncertainty since there are no guarantees regarding future circumstances. There are multiple factors that could potentially result in the actual results and outcomes differing from those outlined in this document. Such factors include: general economic trends, the pace of globalisation of the markets for solutions, IT and consulting, increased performance commitments, scarcity on the labour market, and future acquisitions and disposals.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

General information

Ordina N.V. has its registered office in Nieuwegein, the Netherlands. These consolidated interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2016 comprise the financial information of Ordina N.V. and all its subsidiaries ('the group').

Ordina is the largest independent IT services provider in the Benelux, with around 2,800 employees. We devise, build and manage IT solutions for organisations in the public sector, in the financial services sector, the industrial sector and in the healthcare sector. We aim for IT that helps people. IT that matters and that has been developed without wasting any resources. And we do so by working with our clients in partnerships for sustainable innovation.

Ordina was founded in 1973. Its shares have been listed on the NYSE Euronext Amsterdam stock exchange since 1987 and are included in the Small Cap Index (AScX).

Statement of compliance

The consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting', as adopted for use within the European Union. They do not contain all the information that is required for a full set of financial statements, and should therefore be read in conjunction with the Ordina N.V. consolidated financial statements for the full year 2015. The 2015 Annual Report (including the consolidated financial statements for the financial year 2015) is available online at: www.ordina.com.

The consolidated interim financial statements were prepared by the Management Board and approved for publication by the Supervisory Board on 17 August 2016. The consolidated interim financial statements are unaudited.

Ordina's interim financial statements have been drawn up in Dutch and in English, with the Dutch text prevailing.

Key standards for financial reporting

For an explanation of the accounting policies for the valuation, determination of results and statement of cash flows, we refer you to the consolidated financial statements for 2015. The consolidated financial statements for 2015 were drawn up in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as adopted by the European Union. The accounting standards have been applied consistently for all subsidiaries and across all periods as presented in these consolidated interim results. The same standards have been applied to the interim report, with the exception of the new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations outlined below, which have been included and found relevant for Ordina. The group's reporting currency is the euro.

Standards, amendments and interpretations

Insofar as applicable, the group has applied all published IFRS standards, amendments and interpretations that came into effect on 1 January 2016. These standards and interpretations had no material impact on the group. Any published IFRS standards and interpretations that were not yet applicable for reporting periods that commence on 1 January 2016 have not been applied early.

Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the consolidated interim financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the calculated income and expenses, as well as the reported contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions.

The assumptions and estimates are based on historical experience and various other factors that can be deemed reasonable under the circumstances. Said assumptions and estimates are continually (re)evaluated. For a list of the most critical assumptions and estimates, we refer you to section 5 of the notes to the consolidated 2015 financial statements, as included in the 2015 annual report. There were no significant changes in said assumptions and estimates in the first half of 2016.

Financial risk management

In its 2015 annual report (page 69 and onwards), Ordina described in detail the critical risks identified and its risk management and control systems. Ordina has evaluated the risks identified and determined that the main risks identified remain applicable in the second half of 2016.

Segment information

Segment information is presented in line with how the management, reporting lines and decision-making is organised within Ordina. As from 1 April 2016, the Operational Director the Netherlands is responsible for the operational management within the Netherlands, with the exception of the Innovation cluster. The Innovation cluster is managed separately. The activities of the Innovation cluster are closely woven into the activities of Ordina the Netherlands, as a result of which the segment information is provided at the level of the Netherlands and Belgium/Luxembourg. Management information and analysis of same is recognised at the aggregated level of Ordina the Netherlands and Ordina Belgium / Luxembourg respectively. Segment information is therefore disclosed at the level of Ordina the Netherlands and Ordina Belgium / Luxembourg. Segment results, assets and liabilities consist of the items that can be attributed directly to the segment in question.

Financing facility

In May 2015, Ordina agreed a new financing facility of EUR 30.0 million with ABN Amro Bank and ING. This new financing facility is fully committed and is a revolving facility of EUR 20.0 million and a current account credit facility of EUR 10.0 million. The new financing agreement has a maximum term of five (5) years, with an initial term of three (3) years and an option to extend twice by one (1) year. The first extension of one (1) year was agreed in July 2016. As a consequence, the term of the financing agreement has been extended to May 2019, while Ordina has another option to extend for an additional one (1) year period.

As of 30 June 2016, Ordina had taken up an amount of EUR 10.0 million from the revolving facility, which is recognised under the short-term bank debt (as at 30 June 2016: EUR 14.0 million).

The most important elements regarding covenants included in the financing facility are a maximum leverage ratio (ratio of net debt to adjusted EBITDA) and an Interest Cover Ratio (ration of (adjusted EBITDA / total interest as defined in the financing agreement). The leverage ratio has been set at a maximum of 2.5, and 2.0 for the final two quarters of the (possibly extended) term. The Interest Cover Ratio has been set at a minimum of 5.0. The covenants are based on the consolidated (interim) financial statements as drawn up in accordance with IFRS. The adjustment to the EBITDA for one-off expenses and reorganisation costs has been set at a maximum of EUR 5.0 million for the year 2015 and a maximum of EUR 3.0 million for 2016 and subsequent years.

In December 2015, Ordina and its banks agreed a temporary widening of the Interest Cover Ratio (ICR) on the basis of which the ICR must be at least 4.0 during the year 2016. Ordina is also entitled to adjust the calculation of the ICR from year-end 2015 through to year-end 2016, to take into account the external costs in 2015 related to the internal investigations.

The applicable covenants and their realisation at end-H1 2016 are outlined below.

Realisation H1 2016 Finance agreement
Leverage ratio 0.0 <= 2,5
Interest Cover Ratio 46.7 >= 4,0
Guarantor Cover Ratio 95% >=80%
Security Cover Ratio 95% >= 70%

The interest on the financing facility is set on the basis of the prevailing base rate (EURIBOR) plus a surcharge of 1.0%. The base rate depends on the interest period to be determined by Ordina, which can in principle vary from one to six months.

Earnings per share

Earnings per share are calculated by dividing the profit after taxes by the average number of outstanding shares. The earnings per share after dilution takes into account the shares that are expected to be issued in connection with the share-based bonuses. The earnings per share were calculated on the basis of the following information:

H1 2015 H1 2016
(in thousands of euros, unless indicated otherwise)
Profit for the period 3,880- 2,954
Average number of outstanding shares (in thousands) 92,836 93,049
Impact of potential dilution
Conditionally granted shares 990 1,379
Average number of outstanding shares diluted (in thousands) 93,826 94,428

Taxes on the results

Current taxes for the half-year period under review have been calculated on the basis of the estimated effective annual tax rate applied to pre-tax profit. The effective tax rate for the first six months of 2016 was 44.7% (41.1% for the full-year 2015, and 3.2% for the first half of 2015). The discrepancy between the nominal tax rate of 25.0% and the effective tax rate is largely due to the composition of the taxable amounts across the various countries, in combination with tax rate differences abroad, as well as the impact of non-deductible amounts.

Deferred taxes are valued in line with the expected method of settlement or realisation. The deferred tax asset pertains primarily to recognised tax losses, as well as temporary differences in valuation related to tangible fixed assets and provisions. As at 30 June 2016, Ordina has a deferred tax asset of EUR 18.1 million, with EUR 16.3 million of this amount related to recognised tax losses. An amount of around EUR 33.7 million of the tax loss carry-forward is expected to expire in 2018. The remaining losses will expire in the years after 2018.

With respect to the losses that will expire in 2018, an amount of EUR 31.6 million has been recognised as a deferred tax asset. Losses amounting to EUR 2.1 million are not expected to be recognised as a tax loss carry-forward and as a result no deferred tax asset has been recognised for that amount. When the potential to tax loss carry-forwards proves insufficient, there is a risk that a portion of the deferred tax asset will have to be amortised. Ordina expects to complete the plans to avoid dilution of losses in the second half of 2016.

Share-based remuneration

The long-term component of the performance-related remuneration of the members of the Management Board comprises a payment in Ordina N.V. shares, with a term of three years for each current scheme.

Seasonal influences

Ordina's revenue and profit are to a limited degree subject to seasonal influences. The seasonal influences pertain primarily to the lower number of working days in the first half of the year, compared to the second half. With regard to employees taking their holidays, the main emphasis is largely in the second half of the year. The movement in working capital is partly influenced by the settlement of obligations related to items such as holiday pay, bonus payments and pension premiums in the first half of the year.

Off-balance sheet liabilities

The nature and scale of off-balance sheet liabilities as per 30 June 2016 were materially unchanged from those reported in note 29 to the consolidated financial statements for the financial year 2015.

Estimating fair value

On the basis of IFRS13 'Fair value measurement', the interim financial statements are supposed to include disclosures on how fair value is measured. The book value of the current assets, payables and other debts are close to their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Trade receivables are also close to their fair value, as any potential downward valuation has already been taken into account via a provision for bad debts.

Post-balance sheet date events

There have been no events since 30 June 2016 that might have a material impact on or that might require adjustments to the balance sheet positions as per 30 June 2016, as presented in these interim financial statements.
