PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Regulatory News:
Elior Group (Paris:ELIOR) (Euronext Paris – ISIN: FR 0011950732), one of the world's leading operators in catering and support services, published its unaudited full-year fiscal results for 2019-2020, ended September 30, 2020, including the application of IFRS 16, unless otherwise mentioned.
Elior Group CEO, Philippe Guillemot, said: "The fiscal year 2019-2020, with this unprecedented global crisis, has been particularly difficult for the contract catering sector. Although impacted, Elior has demonstrated its resilience, as well as its ability to continue to move forward and take the initiative. Since March, we have preserved both our liquidity levels and financing capacity thanks to our agility, flexible organization, and strict cost management.
Today, our portfolio of activities means we are less exposed to the impact of the second wave and the lockdown measures. Our rigours management and contract renegotiations, and the truly outstanding commitment of our teams on the ground, have also enabled us to further strengthen ties with our customers.
We are staying the course we set ourselves when we launched our strategic plan, New Elior, and are reinforcing our differentiating factors in all our markets while accelerating our transformation and the roll-out of our new offers to emerge more competitive from this crisis and reaffirm our leadership and our ability to drive innovation in all our businesses. There are still countless opportunities in our markets.
Our teams, both in catering and services, are more mobilised than ever, ready to take up the challenges ahead. I am very confident in the future of our businesses because we now have the talent, know-how and organization to take advantage of the upcoming recovery. The anticipated rebound after the crisis and the additional revenues generated by our new offerings will enable us to return to robust growth and improve our pre-crisis margins."
Elior renewed or secured several major new contracts in the fourth quarter of 2019-20, both in contract catering and services. These included:
The retention rate for contract catering was 92% at the end of September 2020 compared to 90% at the end of September 2019.
Consolidated revenue from continuing operations totaled €3,967 million in 2019-20 compared to €4,923 million a year ago. This 19.4% year-on-year decrease reflects a loss in revenues of (i) €1,003 million due to the Covid-19 crisis, (ii) -€11 million due to strikes in France at the end of the first quarter and start of the second quarter and (iii) -€39 million due to voluntary contract exits in Italy and scope reduction in the Tesco contracts in the United Kingdom.
Without these various exceptional impacts, Elior's organic growth was +1.7%. Acquisitions in the USA and Italy contributed €4 million, while foreign exchange, notably the US dollar, added€ 8 million to consolidated revenue from continuing operations.
The proportion of revenue generated by international operations was 55% in 2019-20, same as with the previous fiscal year.
International revenues were €2,182 million, a decline of 18.9% compared to last year, reflecting the €551 million impact of Covid-19 and - to a much lesser extent - the Italian public-sector contracts that we chose not to renew last year and the scaled back Tesco contracts in the UK. Excluding those items, Elior's International organic revenue growth was 2.6%.
The US was the most resilient owing to Elior being less exposed to B&I, our strong position in the National School Lunch Program from K-to-12 children and our ability to increase our use of existing capacity to support social services organizations.
Foreign exchange, notably a stronger US dollar, added +0.3% to international revenues compared to last year.
Revenue generated in France totaled €1,778 million in 2019-20, compared with €2,212 million in the same period a year ago, a decline of 19.6%. Elior Services has deployed its bio-cleaning expertise, including certified Covid-19 specific solutions, particularly in the Health & welfare, but also in services and industrial sectors. Excluding the €11 million impact from strikes and the €445 million impact from Covid-19, organic revenue was flat for France.
The Corporate & Other segment, which includes the Group's remaining concession catering activities not sold with Areas, generated nearly €7 million in revenue in 2019-2020, down from €22 million for the same period last year notably due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Business & Industry generated revenue of €1,620 million, a decline of 28.2% compared with last year. This reflects the improvement in fourth quarter 2019-20 revenue, which amounted to €344 million. Although this was down 35% year-on-year. However, it was a clear improvement compared with the third quarter when the Covid-19 lockdowns pushed revenue down 62%.
Education generated revenue of €1,149 million in 2019-20, a decline of 18.7% for the full year 2019-20, compared with a year ago. Following the lockdown measures in the third quarter resulting in a 54.5% drop in revenues, there was a sharp improvement after the summer vacations as students returned to school and people went back to work, resulting in a €43 million decline in revenues in the fourth quarter.
Health & welfare revenue stood at €1,198 million, a decline of 4.4% compared with a year ago. Revenues improved slightly in the fourth quarter 2019-20 to €292 million, down 6.0% after a third quarter decline of 7.8% as elective surgeries were rescheduled over the summer. Most hospital cafeterias remain closed, however.
Adjusted EBITA for continuing operations was a €69 million loss for the fiscal year ended on September 30, 2020, including a positive €2 million from the application of IFRS 16, compared with a profit of €176 million in 2018-19. As a result of the €245 million year-on-year decline, the adjusted EBITA margin was -1.7% for the fiscal year 2019-20 compared with +3.6% in 2018-2019. The French strikes accounted for -€7 million, voluntary contract exits in Italy, contract terminations with the Ministry of Defense and Tesco contracts scope reduction in the UK together accounted for -€5 million, while the Covid-19 pandemic impact was -€268 million for the fiscal period 2019-20.
Elior had estimated that the Covid-19 drop-through from revenues to adjusted EBITA would be less than 30% over the full year. The actual final drop-through was 27%.
In the International segment, adjusted EBITA totaled -€30 million for the full year 2019-20, compared to €90 million year ago notably due to the major impact of Covid-19. Adjusted EBITA as a percentage of revenues was -1.4%, compared to 3.3% in 2018-19.
In France, adjusted EBITA came to -€13 million in fiscal year 2019-20, compared to 109 million in 2018-19. In France, tighter operational discipline and greater commercial selectivity by the management team helped to offset the impact of the general labor strikes in France but business was severely impacted by the Covid-19 lockdown measures. Health & welfare was less affected despite the closures of hospital cafeterias. The adjusted EBITA as a percentage of revenue was -0.8%, compared to 4.9% year ago.
The Corporate & Other adjusted EBITA was -€26 million for the fiscal year 2019-20 compared to -€23 million year ago, mostly due to the impact of Covid-19.
Recurring operating loss from continuing operations (including share of profit of equity-accounted investees), was €89 million for the full year 2019-20, which included an IFRS16 benefit of €2 million, compared with a profit of €160 million in 2018-2019. The full year 2019-20 figure includes €20 million in amortization of intangible assets related to acquisitions, compared to €21 million in 2018-19.
Non-recurring items represented a net expense of €240 million and primarily included an impairment loss of goodwill for €123 million and €117 million mainly related to restructuring provisions. During the fiscal year 2018-19, non-recurring items were €27 million mainly related to restructuring costs.
Net financial expense was -€38 million, which included an IFRS 16 impact of -€7 million in 2019-20. This compared to -€69 million a year ago, due to the reduction in debt following the sale of Areas in 2018-19, and the impact of the lower leverage ratio on the margin.
Income tax expense amounted to €83 million in 2019-20, including an IFRS 16 benefit of €3 million, compared to a net benefit of €4 million resulting from a short-term tax loss on the divestment of Areas in 2018-19. In 2020, the Group partially recognized a tax credit related to 2019-2020 loss and depreciated certain deferred tax assets.
It also includes the French CVAE of €19 million, which is based on added value, thus decreased in 2019-20 compared to €21 million year ago.
In view of the above factors, net loss for the period from continuing operations was €450 million in 2019-20, which included an IFRS 16 impact of €2 million, compared with a net profit of €68 million in 2018-2019.
Attributable net loss for the period was €483 million in 2019-20, compared with a profit of €271 million last year.
Operating free cash flow for 2019-2020 was -€62 million (before IFRS16 impact), compared to €251 million year ago. This year-on-year decline was notably due to (i) a drop in adjusted EBITDA of €245 million and (ii) a €43 million change in the outstanding amounts under the receivables securitization program. Strict capital expenditure allocation resulted in a €25 million improvement.
Net debt before IFRS16 was €767 million at September 30, 2020, compared to €539 million at the end of September 30, 2019. Including the impact of the application of IFRS 16, Elior Group's net debt was €995 compared to €782 million (pro forma IFRS 16) at September 30, 2019.
At end-September 2020, Elior's liquidity amounted to €630 million, compared with €709 million at end-June 2020.
The change is chiefly attributable to the final price adjustment related to the sale of Areas (-€48 million), the increase in securitization tied to the resumption of business (+€31 million), the impact of exchange rate movements on our US dollar-denominated facilities (-€11 million), and negative operating free cash flow excluding securitization (-€22 million).
Following the sale of Areas Elior Group launched a share buyback program; a €21 million tranche was completed in the second quarter of 2019-20. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, this program has been paused. We maintain our liquidity contract to ensure a liquid market for Elior Group shares. The Board of Directors will submit a proposal at the next Annual General Meeting that the Group forgoes a dividend for the 2019-2020 financial year.
After lockdown measures eased in mid-May 2020, we saw a continuous improvement in our activities. As a second wave of lockdowns hit Europe in October; we saw that Covid-19 will continue to create persistent uncertainty in the coming months. The recovery in economic activity is expected to be gradual and bumpy throughout 2020-21, and at varying rates depending on how the pandemic plays out in the countries where Elior operates.
Based on all known variables at this point, the assumptions for 2020-21 that Elior is using to plan and make its decisions are as follows:
Wherever possible, we will continue to use the available government furlough and business support programs and will further adapt our cost structure to protect our profitability.
Cost discipline, tight cash management and reinforced SG&A discipline will also continue in full force, alongside the restructuring measures already undertaken.
There are still countless opportunities in our markets. Our teams, both in catering and services, are more mobilised than ever. We are confident in the future of our businesses because we now have the talent, know-how and organization to take advantage of the upcoming recovery.
In the medium term, the anticipated rebound after the crisis and the additional revenues generated by our new offerings will enable us to return to robust growth and improve our pre-crisis margins.
Elior's Board of Directors and the Executive Committee sincerely thank the Group's 105,000 employees for their commitment to our customers and guests during this exceptional period.
Covenant holiday extended: next test will be at the end of 2022 based on financial results as of September 30, 2022.

Organic growth in consolidated revenue: as described in Chapter 4, Section 4.1.2.1 of the fiscal 2018-2019 Universal Registration Document, growth in consolidated revenue expressed as a percentage and adjusted for the impact of (i) changes in exchange rates, (ii) changes in accounting policies, notably the first-time application of IFRS 15 in 2018-2019 and (iii) changes in scope of consolidation.
Retention rate: percentage of revenues retained from the previous year, adjusted for the cumulative year-on-year change in revenues attributable to contracts or sites lost since the beginning of the previous year.
Adjusted EBITA: Recurring operating profit reported including the share of profit of equity-accounted investees adjusted for the impact of share-based compensation expense (stock options and performance shares granted by Group companies) and net amortization of intangible assets recognized on consolidation.
The Group considers that this indicator best reflects the operating performance of its businesses as it includes the depreciation and amortization arising as a result of the capex inherent to the Group's business model. It is also the most commonly used indicator in the industry and therefore permits comparisons between the Group and its peers.
Adjusted EBITA margin: Adjusted EBITA as a percentage of consolidated revenue.
Operating free cash flow: The sum of the following items as defined in the 2018-2019 Universal Registration Document and recorded either as individual line items or as the sum of several individual line items in the consolidated cash flow statement:
This indicator reflects cash generated by operations and is the indicator used internally for the annual performance appraisals of the Group's managers.
Revenue loss related to Covid-19: difference between actual revenue and the forecast made at the end of December 2019, at constant exchange rates and at constant perimeter, with no price effect noted at this stage.
Impact of Covid-19 on EBITA: lost revenues less associated residual costs, net of savings achieved to date (government aid, renegotiation of supplier contracts, insurance indemnity, etc.).
Impact of strikes in France: on revenues, it was measured site-by-site in relation to the normal level of activity in the weeks preceding the start of the strikes; on EBITA, it corresponds to the costs that could not be variabilized.
