Highlights
Free cash flow before tax increased to $€ 2.3$ million in H1 2024 (H1 2023: €-143 thousand)

The negative free cash flow in H1 2023 was due to a high refinancing backlog at Bikeleasing in the peak summer months, which also exists this year but no longer presents a challenge

Bikeleasing's working capital peaks in summer, leading to most cash flow being generated in H 2

Continuously strong increase of adjusted EPS

Bikeleasing - Operational deep dive

Continued integration of Probonio and Bikeleasing with sales roll-out to commence in H2

Exemplary overview of integration work streams

img-9.jpeg

  • No significant earnings contribution to be expected for 2004 given the progress within the year and one-time integration / roll-out costs
  • Based on a first pilot customer survey conducted in G2, mid single digit million EDITDA contribution expected for 2025

IHSE - Operational deep dive

Revenue in H1 is well below last year's and at a similar level to 2021/2022, partially due to planned downtime in Q1 and delays in customer orders for multiple projects, shifting revenue recognition beyond Q2

Sales in EMEA slightly declined, while Americas and APAC are picking up and starting to close the gap compared to previous year

Order intake in Q2 was very high, split across multiple customers and projects (unlike Q2 2023 with a single $€ 7.0$ million project), leading to a healthy backlog of over $€ 10.0$ million
