Report of the Board of Directors

Important developments of the first 6 months

Despite a 17% lower order backlog at the beginning of the year, the turnover of the Group was nearly at the same level as the first half of 2013 (121.2 million euro compared to 123.5 million euro prior year). JENSEN-GROUP enjoyed a high activity level in the USA as well as in the Far East.

The operating profit increased by 13.7% over the last year thanks to higher activity and productivity gains.

The financial result was in line with prior year (+0.02 million euro). JENSEN-GROUP recorded a currency loss compared to a currency gain in 2013.

All the factors described above resulted in a 1.2 million euro increase in the Groups net income from continuing operations (from 7.0 million euro to 8.1 million euro).

Outlook for the remaining 6 months

At June 30, 2014 the order backlog increased with 38% compared to the backlog at June 30, 2013. Therefore JENSEN-GROUP expects better profitability for the full year compared to 2013.

Major risk factors for the remaining 6 months are competitive pressure as well as the volatility in the financial markets affecting the customers' investment decisions and financing capacities. Other risk factors are high exchange rate volatility and fluctuating raw material prices, energy and transport costs.

Share buy back

The Board of Directors decided on November 14, 2013 to implement a share buy-back programme to purchase a maximum of 800.300 of the Company's shares. The shares are bought at the Brussels stock exchange by an investment bank mandated by the Board of Directors. The buy-back mandate expires on October 4, 2017. As per August 15, 2014, JENSEN-GROUP holds 183,934 treasury shares.
