Annual financial results

At 31 December 2018, revenue amounted to €65.2 million, multiplied by 2.1 compared to the previous financial year. The volume of international deliveries has increased significantly and represents 56% of 2018 sales compared to 29% of 2017 sales.

The strong growth in activity resulted in an increase in purchases consumed and external expenses, which were multiplied by 2.0 and 2.4 respectively. Staff costs also doubled to €2.34 million, reflecting the strengthening of teams to support the company's growth.

EBITDA for 2018 was €6.06 million, compared with €2.24 million in 2017. The EBITDA margin rate reached 9.3%, outperforming the 8% target announced at the time of the IPO. The acceleration in operating profitability is the result of the commercial success of 2CRSi solutions and good cost control.

Financial position at December 31, 2018

As at 31 December 2018, the company's balance sheet total stood at €99.35 million compared with €36.05 million in the previous financial year. Cash flow from operations amounted to €5.3 million and cash flow from operating activities to €(32.4) million, mainly due to the €38.7 million change in working capital requirements. Trade receivables amounted to €37.5 million, inventories to €20.5 million and trade payables to €17.2 million.

The increase in trade receivables is mainly due to very strong activity in December 2018.

The high level of inventories is the result of the measures taken by the Company to support its continued commercial development, in a context of global shortage of electronic components.

At the end of the 2018 financial year, cash and cash equivalents amounted to €14.5 million, compared with €3.7 million at 31 December 2017.

The annual financial report will be available on April 30 on the Company's website in the Investors section: https://investors.2crsi.com/fr
