REPORT

Group topline – continued solid order intake with sales conversion improving

Barco's first half sales were 29% above 1H21 and 8% above 2H21 with sales conversion improving in all divisions and all regions. During the first semester, growth accelerated from the first to the second quarter and sales for 2Q22 surpassed 2Q19 pre-pandemic levels, driven by strong uptakes in demand in Cinema and Meeting experience.

Order intake continued to grow, increasing 9% versus last year, and orderbook, which increased 146 million euro compared to last year's first semester and 51 million euro compared to year-end 2021, reached a new record level of 538 million euro after six consecutive quarters of positive book-to-bill.

Division topline performance; Sales increase 37% in 2Q and 29% in 1H22 on growth across all business units

The Entertainment division delivered double digit gains in both orders and sales year over year, despite the negative impacts of continued component shortages and regional lockdowns in China. Most of the growth came from the Americas reflecting revived demand for renewal projectors. In addition, Immersive Experience saw a continued good level of order intake resulting in healthy double-digit sales growth.

Enterprise delivered a strong first semester including second quarter sales equaling 2Q19. Reflecting stabilizing back-tooffice conditions in Europe and the Americas, the Meeting Experience saw a +50% increase for the first semester and 2Q sales that were above 2Q19. Large Videowalls sales for the first half grew at a double-digit rate versus last year and were flat in the second quarter compared to 2Q19.

While order intake in Healthcare decreased slightly from last year's spike, orders remained very solid reflecting the ongoing resumption of spending by customers in the diagnostic imaging and surgical markets and resulted a positive book-to-bill ratio for the third consecutive semester. With solid deliveries in all three regions, Healthcare reported sales growth in both segments for a divisional gain of more than 20% and an all-time high semester sales performance.

EBITDA starts to expand

EBITDA was 46.2 million euro up from 27.5 million euro a year ago. EBITDA margin was 9.8% of sales, or 2.3 percentage points better than 1H21 and 2.7 percentage point higher than 2H21.

Gross profit margin was 37.9%, an improvement of 1.2 percentage points versus the first semester of last year and 2.9 percentage points versus the second semester of last year, mainly reflecting favourable product mix.

Free cash flow for 1H22 was negative 28 million euro compared to positive 35 million euro last year, mainly due to higher inventory in response to the supply chain constraints and higher receivables due to a surge in sales toward the end of the quarter.

Barco is turning the corner in its recovery from the pandemic. Strong demand for its product solutions drove sales to exceed pre-pandemic levels in the second quarter, supported by a focused organizational structure.

For the second semester Barco is well prepared to deliver steady sales growth and further improve margins on product mix and operational improvements.

Outlook 2022 - current

The following statements are forward looking, and actual results may differ materially.

Assuming economic conditions and supply chain constraints do not further deteriorate and orders to sales conversion continues to improve in the second half of the year, management expects that sales for the year 2022 will increase approximately 25% compared to 2021, with an EBITDA margin between 10 to 12%.

Part 1: Consolidated results for 1H22

1.A. Update financial results

Order intake & Orderbook

Order intake

Order intake was 509.2 million euro, an increase of 9% compared to last year's first half driven by strong uptakes in Entertainment (Cinema) and Enterprise (Meeting Experience). Orders were up in both EMEA and the Americas and down in APAC, due to softer demand in China.

Impact of supply chain constraints on sales

As previously disclosed, Barco is not immune to component shortages and supply chain constraints which have impacted and continue to impact certain product lines. While the team has largely mitigated these challenges and seen clear improvements in June, Barco estimates these challenges curbed sales in the second quarter by more than 40 million euro primarily in Entertainment for projector-line deliveries.

Profitability

Gross Profit

Gross profit was 178.9 million euro for the first half rebounding from 134.3 million euro a year ago. Gross profit margin was 37.9%, up from 36.7% in the first half of 2021 and 35.0% in the second half. The increase was driven by a more favourable product mix along with pricing adjustments mainly in the Healthcare and Entertainment divisions.

Indirect expenses

Total indirect expenses increased to 149.8 million euro from 125.6 million euro for the first half of 2021 across all indirect expense categories but at a slower rate than sales, resulting in a reduction in indirect expense to sales from 34.3% to 31.7%.

EBITDA & EBIT

EBITDA was 46.2 million euro up from 27.5 million euro for the prior year first semester, an increase of 18.7 million euro.

EBITDA margin was 9.8% up from 7.5% for the first semester of last year and 7.1% margin for the second half of last year.

By division, sales, EBITDA and EBITDA margin was as follows:

1H22 (in millions of euros) Sales EBITDA EBITDA %
Entertainment 160.0 -2.7 -1.7%
Enterprise 148.7 27.4 18.4%
Healthcare 163.9 21.6 13.2%
Group 472.6 46.2 9.8%

2 Adjusted EBIT is EBIT excluding restructuring charges and impairments, see Glossary Annual and Half year report

EBITDA by division 1H22 versus 1H21 (and 1H20) is as follows:

in millions of euros 1H22 1H21 1H20 Change vs
1H21
Entertainment -2.7 6.0 4.9 -146%
Enterprise 27.4 5.6 13.7 +386%
Healthcare 21.6 15.8 22.1 +36%
Group 46.2 27.5 40.7 +68%

Enterprise saw the strong increase in sales for ClickShare translate into a strong recovery of the divisional margin and the Healthcare division achieved an EBITDA-margin at pre-pandemic level. Entertainment booked a negative EBITDA resulting from a combination of a lower gross profit and increased investments to further strengthen its value proposition.

Adjusted EBIT2 was 26.8 million euro or 5.7% of sales compared to 8.2 million euro or 2.3% of sales last year.

Income taxes

In the first half of 2022 taxes were 4.8 million euro for an effective tax rate of 18%, compared to 1.0 million euro for an equal effective tax rate in the first half of 2021.

Net income

Net income attributable to equity holders was 22 million euro or 4.7% of sales compared to 2.5 million euro or 0.7% of sales for the first semester of 2021.

Net earnings per ordinary share (EPS) for the first semester were 0.25 euro compared to 0.03 euro the year before.

Cash flow & Balance sheet

Free cash flow

Free cash flow for 1H22 was negative 28 million euro compared to positive 35 million euro last year due to higher inventory as a result of supply chain constraints and higher receivables associated with a surge in sales toward the end of the quarter.

Net working capital was higher at 13% of sales compared to 8.4% of sales a year ago and 5% at year-end 2021.

An increase in DSO was fueled by a surge of sales at the end of the quarter which will be collected during the third quarter. Inventory levels increased in response to supply constraints with increases in both raw materials and semi-finished goods.

Return on Capital Employed

ROCE for the last 12 months ending on 30 June 2022 was 7% compared to 0% a year ago.

Net financial cash position

The net financial cash position was 233.6 million euro compared to 262.6 million euro a year ago and 309.8 million euro at the end of last year.

The decrease versus year end is mainly attributable to negative free cash flow, the acquisition of Cinionic shares3 and dividends payments.

1.B. Update Planet - People - Communities

Barco has organized its sustainability program into 3 pillars: the planet, our people and the communities we operate in.

For each of these three sustainability pillars, the company has formulated an overall mission statement and defined several focus areas. On a semester basis we offer a selection of the relevant metrics. For more information about the KPI's please check our "Planet – People – Communities report 2021".

Planet

As part of Barco's program to improve the eco-friendliness of its solutions portfolio, it has introduced and rolled out a company-wide eco scoring methodology and has set out the target level for 2023 at 70% ECO labelled revenues.4

% Revenues from ECO
labelled products
1H22 1H21 FY205 Change vs
1H21
Group 38% 27%6 26% +11ptt

For the first half of the year, eco-labelled revenues increased to 38% of total revenues from 27% a year ago and 31% for the full year 2021, fueled by progress in both Enterprise and Healthcare. Entertainment saw ECO labelled revenue stay relatively flat.

For 2H22, a further increase of the eco-labelled revenues is anticipated with more sales of eco-labelled solutions including the cinema Series 4 projectors.

People

The size of the company's employee workforce started to expand after dipping in 2021 when the company implemented by cost containment measures, reduced recruitment levels and saw higher turnover rates. In the course of 1H22, inflow of new employee started to exceed the outflow, reflecting an increased focus on recruitment in Belgium, India and China mainly in the R&D and Sales.

Communities

The company gathers feedback from end customers as well as partners on a quarterly basis using the relational Net Promotor Score (NPS) as its standard customer experience metric. Committed to constantly improving, Barco works towards an NPS target-level of 50.

1H22 2H21 1H21 Change vs
1H21
Customer net promotor score 45 47 48 -3

At the end of 2Q22 Barco achieved an NPS score of 45 compared to an NPS score of 47 at the end of 2021 and 48 a year ago. The decline in NPS in the first half is mainly due to a softer performance in Entertainment (Immersive experience) and Enterprise (Meeting experience) with areas for improvement identified in the context of delivery and leadtimes and the pre and post sales service. With respect to these concerns, the company expects to see leadtimes shortening and becoming more reliable in the coming semesters and is in the process of rolling out a new digital CRM-tool to better assist customers during the pre and post-sales process.

Orders Sales

On the strength of continued solid uptakes throughout the period, the Entertainment division delivered a 11% increase in order intake and a 23% increase in sales for the first semester compared to 1H21. In addition, a 2Q22 positive book-to-bill for the 6th consecutive quarter boosted the orderbook for the division.

These topline results reflect good uptake of demand in cinema and a steady resumption of activity in the Immersive Experience segment reflecting solid demand for fixed installations (museums, theme parks) and projection mapping. From a regional perspective, the growth in both orders and sales was led by the Americas region, followed by the EMEA region with both regions together largely offsetting softness in China which was impacted by regional lockdowns.

Cinema accounted for approximately 47% of the divisional sales for the first half of 2022, compared to 45% for 1H21 and 56% for 1H19.

With the exception of China, the Cinema segment reported a continued rebound as indicated by encouraging visitor attendances statistics supported by an attractive slate of movies.

Driven by initial uptakes of renewal projects in developed regions and new build programs in the Middle East and Latin America, order growth for the first half was solid and order intake for the second quarter was higher than in 2Q19.

Sales grew by double digits year over year while still lagging order intake due to ongoing supply chain constraints.

Cinionic, Barco's cinema joint venture, signed a long term "cinema-as-a-service" frame agreement with a reference customer, AMC, to support the transition to laser projection in a third of their existing installed base. Toward the end of the semester, Cinionic also announced a partnership agreement with PVR Cinemas to power 500 screens with 4K laser projection.7

7 See press releases:https://www.barco.com/en/News/Press-releases/AMC-THEATRES%c2%ae-teams-up-with-Cinionic-to-introduce-LASER-AT-AMC.aspx and https://www.cinionic.com/press-release/pvr-goes-100-laser-projection-with-cinionic/

Within the Immersive Experience segment, Barco's intensified commercial focus on its fixed install subsegment and expanded product portfolio resulted in market share gains and growth in orders and sales. Demand remained strong for fixed AV installations (including immersive digital art experience in museums and other projection mapping deployments worldwide), offsetting the softness in the events subsegment which is only expected to start recovering in the second half of the year along with uptakes of live events in the summer months.

Sales for the Simulation segment were up versus 1H21 reflecting expanding deliveries on a strong orderbook that includes long-term contracts with reference customers won in the past.

Entertainment booked a negative EBITDA due to both lower gross profit reflecting the negative impact of component shortages which was more pronounced in the first half of 2022 than 2H21, and increased investments in R&D and sales & marketing to further strengthen the Division's value proposition and accelerate certain growth initiatives. The division is confident it will deliver positive EBITDA for the second half of the year with continued sales growth driving operating leverage and initiatives to alleviate component shortages taking hold, resulting in a full year positive EBITDA margin.

Orders Sales

The Enterprise division saw strong topline growth in the first half of 2022 compared to 1H21 with orders increasing 24% and sales increasing 43% led by Meeting Experience.

Second quarter sales grew 70% year-over-year and were on par with the pre-pandemic 2Q19 level. In terms of the sales mix, Meeting Experience business unit accounted for approximately 57%, compared to 50% for 1H21.

In the Meeting Experience segment, a gradual return to a more stable back-to-office situation in in Europe and the Americas combined with an increased adoption of wireless conferencing, led to recovery of orders and sales in Europe and the United States throughout the first half of 2022. Building on improved activity levels in the first quarter, the second quarter saw sales exceed 2Q19.

The team celebrated 10 years of ClickShare during the first half of 2022 and ClickShare has now been installed in more than 1 million meeting rooms, up from +900k a year ago. Since launching ClickShare Conference in 2020, the segment has shipped and installed more than 100,000 units and for the first half of 2022 ClickShare Conference accounted for more than half of the ClickShare volume. Furthermore Barco continued to build its alliance program with leading meeting room players from around the globe making ClickShare the most universally compatible solution for hybrid meetings.

The division's virtual conferencing weConnect solution has become an established brand at business schools with reference clients around the world as hybrid and virtual offerings becomes part of their programs. The segment is now exploring and investing in additional growth avenues to scale beyond the current focus market position.

The Large Videowall segment booked solid growth in sales in the first half compared to last year mainly driven by large sized deployments in the Americas and Middle East region despite some delays in final deliveries requested by turn-key project integrators. Orders were somewhat soft compared to a strong 2021. Sales for the second quarter were the 2nd best since 2019 reflecting the strength of the segment's market position and enhanced value proposition.

The division saw a very solid recovery of profitability with an EBITDA margin of 18.4%, up 13 basis points from 5.4% a year ago driven by the favourable impact on product mix of ClickShare's sales growth and largely offsetting the increased logistics cost for the large videowall segment.

Orders Sales

Driven by the gradual resumption of spending by Diagnostic Imaging and Surgical customers, the Healthcare division posted 24% sales growth for the first half and a higher orderbook due to a positive book-to-bill even though orders were slightly below a very strong 1H21.

As a result of platform redesigns, challenges associated with component shortages were alleviated, allowing for a resumption of conventional lead-times.

EBITDA margin for the division reached 13.2% reflecting adjusted pricing to alleviate gross profit margin pressure (from increased component and transportation costs) in the second semester of last year and disciplined indirect cost spending.

The Diagnostic segment delivered double digit growth in sales fuelled by a strong orderbook and intensified long-term demand for Diagnostic solutions in EMEA and the Americas. Orders were down compared to a peak order intake for diagnostics a year ago.

Surgical recorded growth in both orders and sales across all regions with the operating room infrastructure market increasingly adopting digital solutions and strategic partners driving demand for Barco's digital operating room solution.

Barco also advanced its growth initiative Demetra by entering into a joint venture on July 1st, with the Swedish company Gnosco. The two teams will first combine their expertise, go-to-market capabilities and installed bases and then plan the path to commercial success including joint teledermatology and telewound care roadmap based on high quality, affordable skin solutions.

(a) Translation exposure gives rise to non-cash exchange gains/losses. Examples are foreign equity and other long-term investments abroad. These long-term investments give rise to period translation gains/losses that are non-cash in nature until the investment is realized or liquidated. The comprehensive income line commonly shows a positive result in case the foreign currency in countries where investments were made appreciates versus the euro, and a negative result in case the foreign currency depreciates.

At the end of June 2022, the positive exchange differences in the comprehensive income line were mainly booked on foreign operations held in Hong Kong Dollar and US dollars. At the end of June 2021, the positive exchange differences in the comprehensive income line were mainly booked on foreign operations held in Hong Kong Dollar, US dollars, Chinese yuan, and British Pound. At the end of June 2020, the negative exchange differences in the comprehensive income line were mainly booked on foreign operations held in Norwegian Krone, Indian Rupees, Chinese yuan and British Pound.

(1) Barco's General Assembly approved on 28 April 2022 to distribute a gross dividend of 0.4 euro per share. Barco's shareholders were offered the choice between payment in cash or dividend in shares, enabling Barco's shareholders to reinvest in the company. Shareholders opted to contribute 58.61% of their dividend rights for the 2021 financial year for subscription to new ordinary shares. This had led to a capital increase of 14.6 million euro included in the line 'Capital share premium increase' and 21.1 million euro dividends paid.

In 2021 shareholders opted to contribute 54.89% of their dividend rights for the 2020 financial year for subscription to new ordinary shares. This had led to a capital increase of 12.8 million euro included in the line 'Capital share premium increase' and 20.6 million euro dividends paid.

(2) Per 20 April 2022, Barco agreed to buy the stakes held by Appotronics and CITICPE in Cinionic, increasing Barco's ownership interest in the joint venture from 55% to 80%. Barco paid 22.6 million euro for the stakes. The gain realized on the transaction of 0.7 million euro is recognized in equity as the increase in ownership percentage did not result in a change in control.

03 NOTES 04 AUDITOR'S REPORT

Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements

As the information provided in the interim financial statements is less comprehensive than that contained in the annual financial statements, these statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated annual report for 2021.

1. Significant changes in the current reporting period

1.1 Significant IFRS accounting principles

IAS 34 was applied to prepare the half year interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the 6 months period ended 30 June 2022.

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period.

1.2 Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In preparing the Company's interim condensed consolidated financial statements, management makes judgments in applying various accounting policies. The areas of policy judgment are consistent with those followed in the preparation of Barco's annual consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended 31 December 2021. In addition, management makes assumptions about the future in deriving critical accounting estimates used in preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements. As disclosed, in the Company's 2021 annual consolidated financial statements, such sources of estimation include estimates on the future realization of deferred tax assets, write-off on inventories and potential impairment of goodwill.

In view of the geopolitical tensions between Russia and Ukraine, Barco has reviewed the risk on Barco financials and concluded that there is no material impact.

1.2.1 Restructuring and impairments

The table below shows the restructuring and impairment costs recognized in the income statement per 30 June 2022, 2021 and 2020:

In thousands of euro 1H22 1H21 1H20
Restructuring costs - -2,200 -1,935
Impairment (in)tangible fixed assets - - -6,135
Total restructuring and impairments - -2,200 -8,071

There are no restructuring and impairment costs recorded in 2022.

In the first half of 2021 the company has recorded 2.2 million euro of restructuring costs, as a result of a number of cost down measures across different countries and functions including some specific voluntary leave scheme packages.

In the first six months of 2020 restructuring and impairment costs related to the closure of the Taiwanese Unisee LCM production factory. As the Company decided to move to a more cost competitive and next generation UniSee platform, the industrialization process came to a pivotal moment. After careful evaluation of the options, Barco's management decided to outsource UniSee LCM (Liquid Crystal Module)-production as of the second half of 2020 and to phase out the inhouse UniSee LCM-production activity in its Taiwanese factory in the second half of 2020. All impacted people (232) were informed before end of June 2020 and left the company by the end of 2020. The decision has resulted in mainly non-cash restructuring costs related to the closure of the factory and impairment of the machinery and equipment.

1.3 IFRS standards issued but not yet effective

There are no IFRS standards issued but not yet effective which are expected to have an impact on Barco's financials.

1.4 Investments

Investments include entities in which Barco owns less than 20% of the shares. These are accounted for as fair value through profit and loss or other comprehensive income instruments, as determined at moment of initial recognition, which implies that the Group measures these investments on a fair value basis with differences in fair value reflected in profit and loss or other comprehensive income. Interest in associates represents entities in which Barco owns between 20% and 50% of the shares.

Investments per 30 June 2022 amount to 46 million euro compared to 47.1 million euro at year-end 2021.

The movement in investments is the result of the purchase and sale of two minority stakes, below regulatory threshold levels. The purchase resulted in a cash-out of -14.4 million euro and the sale in a cash-in of 3.8 million euro in 1H22, reflected in the line 'other investing activities' in the cash flow statement and 0.7 million euro gain realized through other comprehensive income reserve.

The investments are measured at market price. For investments that are publicly quoted in an active market, the quoted market price is the best measure of fair value (level 1). The remeasurement at fair value per 30 June 2022 versus the carrying amount, amounted to -15 million euro, including the gain realized on the divested minority stake and is reflected in other comprehensive income.

2. Segment information

Barco is a global technology company developing solutions for three main markets, which is also reflected in its divisional structure: Entertainment, Enterprise and Healthcare.

  • Entertainment: The Entertainment division comprises two business units:
  • Cinema offers the industry's most complete range of laser and lamp-based cinema projectors, including image processing and audio solutions. Barco's cinema offering is marketed via Barco CFG (for China) and Cinionic (for rest of the world), which combines the projection technology with consultancy, installation financing, monitoring and maintenance services.
  • The Immersive Experience business unit (formerly named "Venues and Hospitality") offers solutions tailored to the specific needs of large venues, live events, themed entertainment (museums, theme parks, etc.) and simulation applications: projection, image processing and a modular support service solution.

• Enterprise: The Enterprise division comprises two business units:

  • Meeting Experience (MX) offers collaboration and visualization technologies for a smart workplace or learning environment: ClickShare wireless conference and presentations systems, installation projectors, video walls, weConnect Virtual Classroom, image processors as well as services.
  • Large Video Walls offers a package of solutions to help control room operators make well-informed decisions: video walls, video wall controllers, control room software and a full suite of support services.

• Healthcare: The Healthcare division comprises two business units:

  • Diagnostic imaging offers an extensive line-up of highprecision medical display systems for disciplines including radiology, mammography, dentistry, pathology and clinical review imaging, plus a full suite of support services.
  • Surgical and Modality brings together two activities with great synergy potential, as they target the same endcustomers (often ORs) and require the same go-to-market strategy. The offering of this business unit includes the company's digital operating room portfolio (hardware + video-over-IP-technology), custom medical displays for modality imaging and a full suite of support services.

01 KEY FIGURES 02 MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION 03 NOTES 04 AUDITOR'S REPORT 05 GLOSSARY

No operating segments have been aggregated to form the above reportable operating segments.

The Board of Directors monitor the results of each of the three divisions separately, so as to make decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment and consequently, the divisions qualify as operating segments. These operating segments do not show similar economic characteristics and do not exhibit similar long-term financial performance, therefore cannot be aggregated into reportable segments. Division performance is evaluated based on EBITDA. Group financing (including finance costs and finance revenue) and income taxes are managed on a group basis and are not allocated to the operating divisions.

Transfer prices between operating segments are on an arm's length basis in a manner similar to transactions with third parties.

2.1 Results by operating segment

The overtime revenues relate for about half to project sales, mainly in the Enterprise division (Control Rooms activities) and for about half to recurring service revenues generated on maintenance contracts.

Barco's contract liabilities are shown in the balance sheet in 'Advances received from customers' and in 'Accrued charges and deferred income'.

The activity of Barco is not subject to significant seasonality throughout the year and therefore disclosure per IAS34.21 is not required. Over the last 3 years (2019-2021) average sales in the first semester was good for 48% of the total annual volume.

This report should be read together with the section "Risk management and control processes" in the Company's Integrated annual report 2021 (pages CGR/33 to CGR/53), which describes various risks and uncertainties to which the Company is or may become subject. The risks described below and in the Company's Integrated annual report 2021 are not the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company or that the Company currently deems to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect its business, financial condition and/ or operating results.

We refer to the management discussion and analysis of results section for an update of the impact of risk-factors on the first half year results.

Operations and supply chain

The worldwide shortages in different commodities in 2021 and over the first six months of 2022, tested Barco's supply chain resilience. Barco's strong, long-term supplier relationships and agile approach have proven to be key to find solutions to the shortages in many cases. Nevertheless, Barco is not immune to component shortages and supply chain constraints which have impacted and continue to impact certain product lines. While the team has largely mitigated these challenges and seen clear improvements in June, Barco estimates these challenges curbed sales in the second quarter by more than 40 million euro primarily in Entertainment for projector-line deliveries.

Strong funding and liquidity structure in place

Barco has a strong balance sheet and ample liquidity with 234 million euro of net cash. Of this amount, 282 million euro is cash and short-term investment on the balance sheet. Additional financial flexibility is provided with € 82.5 million unused bilateral committed credit facilities with a selected group of commercial banks.

In addition to significant liquidity, Barco has a well-balanced debt profile with debt limited to 48.5 million euro of which 11 million euro near-term maturities.

Barco has sufficient headroom to enable it to conform to covenants on its existing borrowings. The group complied with all requirements of the loan covenants on its available credit facilities throughout the reporting period.

While the future may still bring some levels of headwind, Barco's strong funding and liquidity structure in place should be more than sufficient to ensure the going concern of the company.

5. Litigations and commitments

No important changes occurred during the first 6 months of 2022 relating to the litigations and commitments which have been disclosed in the 2021 consolidated financial statements.

6. Events subsequent to the balance sheet date

In order to advance its growth initiative Demetra, Barco signed a joint venture agreement with the Swedish company Gnosco AB on July 1st, 2022.

The two teams will first combine their expertise, go-to-market capabilities and installed bases and then plan the path to commercial success including joint teledermatology and telewound care roadmap based on high quality, affordable skin solutions. Barco acquired 70% of the shares in Gnosco AB. As the effective control is transferred on 1 July 2022, the Gnosco figures are taken up in the figures of the Barco Group from 1 July, 2022 onwards.

No other subsequent events occurred which could have a significant impact on the interim condensed financial statements of the group per 30 June 2022.

Auditor's report

Statutory auditor's report on review of interim condensed consolidated financial information for the period ended june 30, 2022

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying interim condensed consolidated balance sheet of Barco NV and its subsidiaries as of June 30, 2022 and the related interim condensed consolidated income statement, the interim condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the interim condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and interim condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six-month period then ended, as well as the explanatory notes (hereafter the "Interim Financial Information"). The board of directors is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Interim Financial Information in accordance with IAS 34, as adopted by the European Union. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this Interim financial information based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity." A review of Interim Financial Information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and, consequently, does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Interim Financial Information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34, as adopted by the European Union.
