Report of the Board of Directors

Impact Covid-19 on the JENSEN-GROUP activities

Revenue of the first half-year of 2020 amounts to 130.1 million euro, a decrease of 26.8% compared to prior year. The JENSEN-GROUP is experiencing a significant slowdown in order intake, a number of cancellations and several project postponements of already placed orders as a consequence of the Covid-19 crisis. The cancellations of contracts had a negative impact on EBIT of 2.9 million euro. Several customers serving the hospitality -travel and tourism- sector are experiencing an important decrease in their activities and have closed their operations temporarily. We expect that many hospitality projects in the quotation phase are going to be postponed for several months. With the current health situation in various countries, our technicians continue to face travel restrictions, which impact the installation of our systems.

On an occasional basis, the JENSEN-GROUP grants buy-back guarantees to selected customers. Due to the closing of laundries in Europe, a few extensions of buy-back guarantees up to 12 months were granted.

Although we have reacted swiftly to adapt to the new situation and due to the lower revenue, EBIT decreased during the first half-year with 85.8% compared to prior year. Several plants have adapted their capacity to the new situation. Some of our plants were closed for certain periods of time depending on the individual workload. The EBIT includes 2.5 million euro one-off restructuring costs especially related to the reduction of workforce.

The Group took measures to decrease the structural cost base:

  • Implementation of a simpler business structure with 6 Business Regions;
  • The integration of our factories into the Business Regions in order to benefit from cost synergies;
  • Various restructuring programs leading to a reduction of our workforce by 18% compared June 30, 2020 to year-end 2019;
  • A new EMT (Executive Management Team) structure with the nomination of a Chief Information Officer driving the digitalization of our processes and solutions. The current

EMT consists of Mr. Jesper M. Jensen (CEO), Mr. Fabian Lutz (CIO), Mr. Martin Rauch (CSO) and Mr. Markus Schalch (CFO).

The Group could also benefit from Government support in several countries (0.7 million euro), mainly related to payroll compensations.

JENSEN USA received a Promissory Note from the state amounting to 1.9 million USD in May 2020. During the second half of the year, the Company will apply for forgiveness but recorded this Promissory Note as liability until now. Any forgiven amount will be recorded as other income when certain.

During the first semester 2020, the JENSEN-GROUP received 111.9 million euro orders, compared to 154.6 million orders in the same period last year. On this basis, the Group expects the full year revenue and profitability to be significantly lower than prior year.

Furthermore, we are unable to fully estimate the impact of the Covid-19 crisis on our longterm performance. Whereas most of our end-markets are negatively affected, demand in the hospitality sector is particularly down and expected to remain low. Therefore, we do not expect our order intake to significantly improve to previous levels before 2022.

The Group reports a net financial cash of 1.4 million euro, including 12.2 million euro leasing debt, compared to a net debt of 4.4 million euro at year-end 2019. Despite delays in certain projects' installation leading to delayed payments, the Group was able to increase its net cash by 5.8 MEUR compared to the end of last year. The Group's borrowing agreements include financial covenants with one of the financial institutions on solvency, a positive EBITDA on an annual basis and a maximum debt/EBITDA ratio. As per June 30, 2020, the JENSEN-GROUP was in full compliance with its bank covenants.

An impairment of the financial participations was not considered as our participations in Tolon GLOBAL MAKINA Sanyi Ve Tikaret Sirketi A.S., Turkey and Inwatec ApS, Denmark performed according to our expectations.

Based on the above, the analysis of the markets, valuation of the order backlog, the analysis of the sales funnel, the future revenues, various scenarios and cash projections, the Group is of the opinion that the consequences of Covid-19 are manageable for the coming period with the knowledge as of today. Therefore the EMT has concluded that the JENSEN-GROUP is able to continue as a going concern.

Other important developments of the first 6 months

The recovery of the production facility in Panama City, hit by hurricane Michael the 10th of October 2018, progresses and discussions with the insurance are on-going. Repairs to the building continued and have lead to a capex of 0.2 million euro during the first half of 2020. The EBIT is positively affected by a partial insurance payment for the impact of hurricane Michael (+1.1 million euro). As part of the insurance claim is certain, the Group recognized this income.

The financial result is 0.7 MEUR lower than prior year, especially related to currency impact.

The result of companies accounted for under the equity method (Inwatec ApS and TOLON Global Makina A.S.) increased by 0.9 million euro year-on-year.

All the items described above resulted in a 10.3 million euro decrease in the Groups net income attributable to the shareholders (from 11.8 million euro to 1.5 million euro).

Risk factors

The most important risk factors remain rapid changes in demand, an uncertain political climate, availability of financing to our customers, high exchange rate volatility and fluctuating raw material, energy and transport prices.

Next to the risk factors reported in the Annual Report 2019, Report Board of Directors, we add following risk factor:

Pandemic

The duration, impacts and continuing instabilities of business due to the covid-19 pandemic in the longer term are not assessable today. Especially customers of the JENSEN-GROUP serving the hospitality sector (travel and tourism) are severely affected by this pandemic, which influences their investment possibilities and outlook. Any severe pandemic could affect our business, financial conditions, and operational results.

Important transactions with related parties

There were no important transactions with related parties.

Events after balance sheet date

JENSEN USA received a Promissory Note from the state amounting to 1.9 million USD in May 2020. During the second half of the year, the Company will apply for forgiveness but recorded this Promissory Note as liability until now. Any forgiven amount will be recorded as other income when certain.

In July, JENSEN GmbH was granted an amortizing KfW (Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau) loan amounting to 10 million euro for a period of six years.

With the current health situation in various countries, our technicians continue to face travel restrictions, which impact the installation of our systems.

Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements

Note 1 – Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of Preparation

The JENSEN-GROUP (hereafter "The Group") is one of the major suppliers to the heavy-duty laundry industry. The Group markets its products and services under the JENSEN brand and is a leading supplier to the heavy-duty market. The product range varies from transportation and handling systems, tunnel washers, separators, feeders, ironers and folders to complete project management for fully-equipped and professionally managed industrial laundries. The JENSEN-GROUP has operations in 23 countries and distributes its products in more than 50 countries. As per June 30, 2020, the JENSEN-GROUP employs worldwide 1,366 people.

JENSEN-GROUP N.V. (hereafter "The Company") is incorporated in Belgium. Its registered office is at Bijenstraat 6, 9051 Sint-Denijs-Westrem, Belgium.

The JENSEN-GROUP shares are quoted on the Euronext Stock Exchange.

This condensed consolidated interim financial information is for the first half-year ended June 30, 2020. These interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting", as adopted by the EU. The accounting policies used in the preparation of the interim financial statements are consistent with those used in the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

This condensed consolidated interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the 2019 annual IFRS consolidated financial statements.

This condensed consolidated interim financial information has not been reviewed by the external auditor.

The policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented.

Taxation is determined annually and, accordingly, the tax charge for the interim period involves making an estimate of the likely effective tax rate for the year. The calculation of

the effective tax rate is based on an estimate of the tax charge or credit for the year expressed as a percentage of the expected accounting profit or loss. This percentage is then applied to the interim result, and the tax is recognized rateably over the year as a whole.

This condensed consolidated interim financial information has been prepared in accordance with those IFRS standards and IFRIC interpretations issued and effective or issued and early adopted as at 30 June 2020 which have been adopted by the European Union, as follows:

The following new standards and amendments to standards are mandatory for the first time for the financial year beginning 1 January 2020 and have been endorsed by the European Union:

  • Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS Standards (effective 1 January 2020).
  • Amendments to the definition of material in IAS 1 and IAS 8 (effective 1 January 2020).
  • Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7: Interest Rate Benchmark Reform (effective 1 January 2020).
  • Amendments to the guidance of IFRS 3 Business Combinations, that revises the definition of a business (effective 1 January 2020).

The following new standards and amendments have been issued, but are not mandatory for the first time for the financial year beginning 1 January 2020 and have not been endorsed by the European Union:

  • Amendments to IAS 1 'Presentation of Financial Statements: Classification of Liabilities as current or non-current' (effective 1 January 2022).
  • IFRS 17 'Insurance contracts' (effective 1 January 2023).
  • Amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations; IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment; IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets as well as Annual Improvements (effective 01/01/2022).
    • o Amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations update a reference in IFRS 3 to the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting without changing the accounting requirements for business combinations.
    • o Amendments to IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment prohibit a company from deducting from the cost of property, plant and equipment amounts received from selling items produced while the company is preparing the asset

for its intended use. Instead, a company will recognise such sales proceeds and related cost in profit or loss.

  • o Amendments to IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets specify which costs a company includes when assessing whether a contract will be loss-making.
  • o Annual Improvements make minor amendments to IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards, IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, IAS 41 Agriculture and the Illustrative Examples accompanying IFRS 16 Leases
  • Amendment to IFRS 16 Leases Covid 19-Related Rent Concessions (effective 01/06/2020, with early application permitted).

The following standard is mandatory since the financial year beginning 1 January 2016 (however not yet subjected to EU endorsement). The European Commission has decided not to launch the endorsement process of this interim standard but to wait for the final standard:

• IFRS 14, 'Regulatory deferral accounts' (effective 1 January 2016).

The Group is currently assessing the impact of the new requirements.

This condensed consolidated interim financial information is prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets, and financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss.

This condensed consolidated interim financial information is prepared on an accrual basis and on the assumption that the Group is a going concern and will continue in operation for the foreseeable future.

The preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34 requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. The areas involving a higher

degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in the accounting policies.

Use of estimates

The preparation of the condensed financial statements involves the use of estimates and assumptions, which may have an impact on the reported values of assets and liabilities at the end of the period as well as on certain items of income and expense for the period. Due to the impact of Covid-19, following estimates changed compared to December 31, 2019: Note 4 – Non-current assets: the impairment test on goodwill

As a result of the events and factors described above, the Company performed a quantitative goodwill impairment test. The fair value was assessed using a discounted cash flow model.

  • Current year of the model is based on management's best estimate of the free cash flow outlook for the current year and taking into account the measures taken to decrease the overhead costs.

The same level of other assumptions compared to previous reporting periods has been applied to the updated impairment testing. The outcome of the goodwill impairment tests performed at half year 2020 did not result in any impairment loss.
