TRADING UPDATE 1Q18

Full year outlook confirmed

Kortrijk, Belgium, 18 April 2018, 7:30 am – Today Barco (Euronext: BAR; Reuters: BARBt.BR; Bloomberg: BAR BB) announced the results for the first quarter ended 31 March 2018.

During the first quarter, Barco booked 276.0 million euro of incoming orders, a decrease of 2.6% year-over-year. At constant currencies orders were 5% higher compared to last year.

Order book as of 31 March 2018 stood at 347.0 million euro, up 8.8% versus end of last year and 2.2% down compared to the first quarter of last year.

Sales for the quarter were 245.2 million euro, a decrease of 0.4% compared to the first quarter of 2017. At constant currencies sales were 7% higher than last year.

The Healthcare division continued to deliver single digit growth, reflecting good traction in the surgical segment and steady performance in the diagnostic segment. The Enterprise division produced another quarter of solid growth driven by continued strong business momentum for ClickShare and with first uptakes in the control rooms segment. Sales for the Entertainment division were below last year, in line with expectations.

Quote of the CEO, Jan De Witte

"The first quarter results demonstrate the benefit of the actions we took last year to streamline the business. We had a good start of the year with growth driven by next generation product lines across divisions, offset by significant currency headwinds.

"With "our focus to perform" program starting to shape our performance and with positive bookto-bill results across our portfolio in Q1, we believe we are on track to deliver on our outlook for 2018." said Jan De Witte, CEO of Barco
