Dear Shareholders,
The first six months of the 2024 fiscal year continued to be shaped by geoeconomic and macroeconomic uncertainty. Despite this challenging market environment, STEMMER IMAGING was able to achieve an order intake of EUR 67.9 million in the first half of the year (H1 2023: EUR 76.1 million). In the second quarter of 2024 the order intake increased to EUR 35.2 million, improving for the second consecutive quarter (Q4 2023: EUR 25.0 million, Q1 2024: EUR 32.8 million, Q2 2024: EUR 35.2 million).
Revenue benefited from the recovery in order intake already reported in the first quarter of 2024. In the first half of 2024, revenue of EUR 58.3 million was achieved, marking a 25.6 per cent decline compared to the strong figure of EUR 78.4 million recorded in the first half of 2023. In the second quarter, revenue amounted to EUR 30.8 million (Q2 2023: EUR 38.0 million). This decline in revenue, both in the second quarter and in the first half of the year, was due to a slowdown in all regions and end markets. The book-to-bill ratio for the first half of the year came to 1.2, indicating a positive revenue trend for the coming quarters.
The gross profit margin in the first half 2024 was a strong 40.0 per cent compared to 39.6 per cent in the same period last year, remaining at a consistently high level. The gross margin in the second quarter was 40.0 per cent (Q2 2023: 40.0 per cent). In the first half of 2024, the company reported EBITDA of EUR 9.1 million (H1 2023: EUR 14.2 million), which already fully accounts for the acquisition costs of Phase 1 Technology. EBITDA profitability came to 15.6 per cent (H1 2023: 18.1 per cent) and is therefore temporarily below the medium-term target range of between 17 per cent and 21 per cent. EBIT totalled EUR 7.2 million (H1 2023: EUR 12.2 million). In the second quarter, STEMMER IMAGING generated EBITDA of EUR 5.0 million (Q2 2023: EUR 6.9 million) and EBIT of EUR 4.1 million (Q2 2023: EUR 5.9 million). The EBITDA margin came to 16.2 per cent (Q2 2023: 18.0 per cent).
With regard to the forecast for the 2024 fiscal year, we continue to see a challenging market environment characterised by a temporary reluctance to invest in key end markets. Based on the continued positive development of the order situation, the Executive Board upholds the revenue range of EUR 140 to EUR 157 million forecast in March for the current fiscal year and confirms the
earnings forecast (EBITDA) of EUR 24 to 31 million. This does not take into account possible special charges affecting earnings in connection with the investment agreement with MiddleGround Capital. The forecast is based on the assumption that demand will continue in the second half of the year in line with business performance so far, that the order backlog can be processed and that there will be an improvement in economic development in the late third quarter at the latest. It is not yet possible to predict how the current distortion on international capital markets will affect the further economic recovery.
On 22 July 2024, STEMMER IMAGING entered into an investment agreement with MiddleGround Capital to unlock long-term growth opportunities for the company. The Executive Board of STEMMER IMAGING is to remain in its previous composition and to continue to run the company. MiddleGround Capital has also announced that it will make a voluntary public takeover offer to acquire all outstanding shares of STEMMER IMAGING AG. The Executive Board and Supervisory Board of STEMMER IMAGING welcome the planned investment and support the announced takeover offer, subject to the review of the offer document yet to be published by MiddleGround Capital. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals, and is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2024.
We would like to once again thank our employees, whose expertise and dedication lay the foundation for our company's success.
We would like to thank you, our shareholders, for your trust and support in developing the future of our company in a sustainable manner.

In the first half of 2024, the financial markets continued to perform strongly in many regions of the world. Market activity was characterised by initial interest rate cuts by the world's leading central banks, economic developments, the dynamics in the field of AI and the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. Inflation rates fell in the euro area and the USA.
The DAX rose by 8.9 per cent to 18,235 points at the end of the reporting period compared to the closing price on 29 December 2023 (16,752 points). The DAX started the stock market year on 2 January 2024 at 16,769 points and closed the reporting period on 28 June at 18,235 points. The TecDAX, a technology stock index with companies comparable to STEMMER IMAGING, stagnated in the reporting period and finished trading at 3,327 points on 28 June 2024.

In the first half of 2024, the economy showed broad-based development. One of the biggest challenges lay in declining but still high inflation, which continued to weigh on the economy. ${ }^{1}$ Global supply chains became increasingly unstable, leading to delays and bottlenecks in production. The ongoing geopolitical uncertainties related to the war in Ukraine and the Middle East conflict also shaped the development. Another factor that hampered economic development was the rise in interest rates, which dampened investment.
The euro zone reported slight positive economic growth in the first half of the year: the economy grew by 0.3 per cent both in the first and second quarters (both quarter-on-quarter). ${ }^{2}$ In the first quarter of 2023, the German economy was up 0.2 per cent quarter-on-quarter and shrank by 0.1 per cent in the second quarter. ${ }^{3}$ In July 2024, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) currently forecasts global growth of 3.2 per cent for 2024 compared with a forecast of 2.8 per cent in April 2023.
For the euro zone, the IMF anticipates an increase in economic output of 0.9 per cent for 2024, compared with 0.5 per cent in 2023. The German economy is expected to grow by 0.2 per cent this year, according to the IMF. ${ }^{4}$
The robotics and automation industry in Germany was supported by foreign business, in particular in a subdued domestic economy. In light of a generally deteriorated economic situation, customers continued to be cautious with investments. International competition intensified due to growing involvement of Chinese suppliers in Europe. ${ }^{5}$ Based on the latest industry data from the German Engineering Association (VDMA) nominal order intake in the first six months fell by 16 per cent for Germany. Order intake in Europe rose nominally by 60 per cent in the same period. VDMA reported nominal market growth in Europe in the first half of the year as a total increase of 13 per cent, while for Germany, the VDMA reported a nominal sales decline of 7 per cent for the first half of 2024.
Regarding the machine vision industry, VDMA reported a revenue decline of 11 per cent in Germany and a decline in order intake of 4 per cent for the first six months of 2024 (both nominal). For the European market, VDMA reported a nominal market decline of 18 per cent in revenue for the first half of the year. Order intake rose nominally by 107 per cent in the same period.

The total assets of the STEMMER IMAGING Group amounted to EUR 94.74 million as at 30 June 2024, a decline compared to 31 December 2023 (EUR 104.40 million). On the assets side of the statement of financial position, this decrease is mainly attributable to the reduction in current assets.
Non-current assets rose to EUR 32.32 million as at 30 June 2024 (31 December 2023: EUR 31.06 million). The increase is attributable to the addition of goodwill and intangible assets due to the purchase price allocation of Phase 1 Technology Corp. in the amount of EUR 2.29 million. This is offset by current depreciation and amortisation of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, including contract assets from leases in accordance with IFRS 16.
Inventories decreased to EUR 10.86 million in the first half of the 2024 fiscal year (31 December 2023: EUR 12.72 million).
Trade receivables fell from EUR 20.83 million as at 31 December 2023 to EUR 19.36 million as at 30 June 2024.
Cash and cash equivalents were down by EUR 7.31 million to EUR 30.26 million as at 30 June 2024 (31 December 2023: EUR 37.57 million), which can primarily be attributed to the dividend payment in the amount of EUR 17.55 million and the purchase price payment for Phase 1 Technology Corp. in the amount of EUR 2.64 million.
On the equity and liabilities side of the balance sheet, the decline in total assets is mainly reflected in the equity of the STEMMER IMAGING Group, which amounted to EUR 67.90 million as at 30 June 2024 (31 December 2023: EUR 80.48 million). The equity ratio stood at 71.7 per cent (31 December 2023: 77.1 per cent).
As at 30 June 2024, non-current liabilities remained almost the same at EUR 6.00 million compared to 31 December 2023 (EUR 5.98 million).
Current liabilities rose from EUR 17.94 million as at 31 December 2023 to EUR 20.84 million as at 30 June 2024. The increase was first and foremost the result of the EUR 4.92 million rise in current trade payables to EUR 13.21 million (31 December 2023: EUR 8.29 million).
The objective of the Group's financial management is to hedge material financial risks. Use is made of discounts wherever possible when settling supplier invoices. The company's solvency was assured at all times.
Net cash flow from operating activities increased by EUR 7.22 million to EUR 15.49 million in the first six months of the 2024 fiscal year and was therefore significantly higher than the previous year's figure (1 January to 30June 2023: EUR 8.27 million). Measures to reduce working capital have a significant positive impact on cash flow.
Cash flow from investing activities amounted to EUR -3.19 million (1 January to 30 June 2023: EUR - 0.69 million) in the first half of 2024. The increase can mainly be attributed to the completion of the acquisition of Phase 1 Technology Corp. (EUR 2.82 million) as well as minor investments in tangible assets and intangible assets.
Cash flow from financing activities of EUR - 19.58 million (1 January to 30 June 2023: EUR - 21.45 million) was largely attributable to the dividend payment in the amount of EUR 2.70 per dividend-bearing share. Other significant factors were scheduled repayments on bank loans and finance lease liabilities totalling EUR 1.95 million (1 January to 30 June 2023: EUR 1.98 million).
At EUR 35.2 million, STEMMER IMAGING recorded a decline in order intake in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the strong same period of the previous year in line with expectations (1 April to 30 June 2023: EUR 40.0 million). This translates into a book-to-bill ratio of 1.1 for the second quarter (1 April to 30 June 2023: 1.1). Throughout the entire reporting period, the STEMMER IMAGING Group recorded an order intake of EUR 67.9 million (1 January to 30 June 2023: EUR 76.1 million).
The STEMMER IMAGING Group generated revenue of EUR 30.82 million in the second quarter of the 2024 fiscal year, which was 18.8 per cent below the strong second quarter of 2023 (1 April to 30 June 2023: EUR 37.98 million). Revenue of EUR 58.31 million was achieved in the reporting period, which represents a decrease of 25.6 per cent compared to the first half of the 2023 fiscal year (1 January to 30 June 2023: EUR 78.37 million). The decline in revenue can be attributed to the weak economic situation, which led to drops in revenue across markets and regions.
The cost of materials of EUR 18.49 million (1 April to 30 June 2023: EUR 22.79 million) developed in line with revenue. At 40.0 per cent the gross profit margin in the second quarter of 2024 is at the level of the second quarter of 2023 at 40.0 per cent and also at the level of the first quarter of 2024 (1 January to 31 March 2024: 39.9 per cent). At 40.0 per cent, the gross profit margin was slightly higher year-on-year (1 January to 30 June 2023: 39.6 per cent).
Personnel expenses came to EUR 5.34 million in the second quarter of the 2024 fiscal year (1 April to 30 June 2023: EUR 6.09 million). Personnel expenses came to EUR 11.34 million in the first half of 2024 (1 January to 30 June 2023: EUR 12.61 million). Despite a reduction in absolute personnel costs, the personnel expense ratio slightly deteriorated from 16.1 per cent in the same period of 2023 to 19.4 per cent in the current year. The average number of employees in the 2024 reporting period was 271 (1 January to 30 June 2023: 315).
Other operating expenses amounted to EUR 2.26 million in the second quarter of 2024 and were therefore below the level of the same quarter of the previous year (1 April to 30 June 2023: EUR 2.75 million). For the first half of 2024, other operating expenses came to EUR 4.14 million (1 January to 30 June 2023: EUR 5.59 million) and were therefore also below the level of the reporting period in the previous fiscal year.
EBITDA came to EUR 5.00 million in the second quarter of the 2024 fiscal year (EBITDA margin: 16.2 per cent), which is below the result of EUR 6.85 million reported for the same quarter in 2023 (EBITDA margin: 18.0 per cent). The deterioration compared to the previous year can largely be attributed to the reduction in gross profit associated with the decline in revenue. The reduction in personnel costs and other operating expenses was only able to partially offset the decline in gross profit. Operating earnings (EBIT) came to EUR 4.10 million in the second quarter of 2024, failing to meet the figure of EUR 5.88 million recorded in the same period of the previous year. As a result, the EBIT margin fell from 15.5 per cent in the previous year to 13.3 per cent. The STEMMER IMAGING Group's consolidated net income was EUR 2.87 million for the reporting period from April to June 2024 (1 April to 30 June 2023: EUR 4.21 million).
EBITDA in the first half of 2024 fell from EUR 14.21 million to EUR 9.09 million with an EBITDA margin of 15.6 per cent. This development is mainly due to the decline in revenue and an adjusted cost structure, which was nevertheless unable to fully offset the weaker revenue development. EBIT amounted to EUR 7.22 million in the first half of the 2024 fiscal year (1 January to 30 June 2023: EUR 12.18 million). In the reporting period, the EBIT margin fell from 15.5 per cent in the first half of 2023 to 12.4 per cent. The consolidated net income for the first half of the 2024 fiscal year was EUR 5.11 million (1 January to 30 June 2023: EUR 8.79 million).
The risk and opportunities management system in place at STEMMER IMAGING concentrates on detecting and evaluating the potential risks and opportunities facing the company on an ongoing basis. Material risks that are currently relevant for STEMMER IMAGING comprise both market and industry-related risks as well as business-related risks. As with risks, opportunities are also evaluated within the scope of the risk matrix. Keeping the risk matrix up-to-date is an integral part of corporate governance, as this matrix is used to detect, analyse and evaluate risks as well as to define countermeasures.
The assessment of risk in the first half of the 2024 fiscal year was characterised by weak economic development, which has been significantly influenced by global economic uncertainty, investment restraint due to the high interest rate level and multiple geopolitical crises. Overall, the risk of a continuation of declining macroeconomic conditions remains, which could have a negative impact on the further development of STEMMER IMAGING on the market side. STEMMER IMAGING sees other significant risks in dependence on suppliers, product risks, human resources risks and risks arising from competition intensity.
The assessment of risks in relation to human resources remains at a consistently high level. The risks in this area take into account the volatility on the labour market, the shortage of skilled staff as well as inflation-adjusted salary expectations. Staff turnover effects due to the aforementioned developments also exacerbate the risk of losing knowledgeable experts and having to bear increased costs for advertising vacancies and onboarding. The aim of STEMMER IMAGING is to be an attractive employer, to train key employees, retain them over the long term and secure the broadest base possible for the relevant expertise. It is to this end that established measures such as management and specialist training courses, structured succession planning and the company's employer branding programme are to be pursued and expanded further. A structured recruiting process also helps the organisation hire employees for the relevant positions, and additional measures in the area of vocational and further training are being regularly evaluated to further enhance the company's attractiveness as an employer.
STEMMER IMAGING sees an increasing number of risks arising from the dependence on the development of the economy. Among other things, the company sees the risk that a possible reluctance to invest on the part of customers could result in a loss of revenue and earnings that cannot be fully compensated for in terms of costs. The aim of STEMMER IMAGING is to ensure good predictability of incoming orders and sales development by maintaining the closest possible dialogue with its customers on the one hand and to raise the barriers to entry for competitors on the other.
STEMMER IMAGING views competitive intensity as an increasingly relevant risk. The ongoing trend towards consolidation in the market, most notably among manufacturers of image processing components, has led to a higher risk assessment. The management sees a significant risk in price pressure and competitive pressure increasing beyond the current level, which could result in a loss of market share and a reduction in margins. Measures taken to minimise risk include expanding the solution business to improve unique selling points in comparison to competitors, the targeted organisation in all customer-oriented company areas with a focus on optimal customer contact and support along with evaluating acquisitions to supplement and strengthen market position.
In the area of risks arising from dependence on suppliers and product risks, the risk assessment was increased slightly. STEMMER IMAGING introduced a comprehensive set of measures during the supply chain crisis in 2021 and 2022, which continue to be implemented and further developed to minimise risks. In order to reduce supplier dependency, alternative procurement sources are continuously evaluated to reduce dependence on individual suppliers. The optimisation of internal processes such as monitoring the delivery situation, evaluating supplier quality and coordinating warehouse management in line with the delivery situation help STEMMER IMAGING to minimise its risk position and achieve its revenue targets.
STEMMER IMAGING strives not only to reduce the risks identified and assessed during regular risk meetings. An integral part of the risks and opportunities meetings is also the identification and assessment of the opportunities, which can lead to competitive advantages in the course of implementation.
Opportunities related to dealing with the growing skills shortage might include having better access to suitable candidates on the market and securing the long-term loyalty of employees to the Group.
STEMMER IMAGING sees opportunities in the area of competitive intensity and reducing dependency on the economic situation. These include implementing measures to boost efficiency in the area of digitising the organisation in order to optimise market coverage, as well as developing and cultivating new, highgrowth and promising market segments. The purpose of these measures is to gain market share, boost company profit and improve customer support.
Close and trusting cooperation with suppliers and the use of optimised tools for demand planning and management offer the opportunity to strengthen and expand the strategically important supplier relationships. In addition, the measures taken offer the opportunity to increase customer satisfaction and to establish long-term and strategically advantageous customer relationships here as well.
Positive business development at STEMMER IMAGING over the long term depends on its ability to exploit potential opportunities and is therefore an integral part of corporate governance. The presentation of the risks and opportunities reflects the company's current assessment and is subject to ongoing change. Therefore, risks and opportunities that have not yet been identified may become more important within a short period of time. This makes regular identification and assessment a key element in reducing risks and seizing opportunities.
After a period of recovery from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and geopolitical tensions, including the Ukraine conflict, the economic situation has stabilised in many regions. However, high inflation rates and the response from central banks in the form of interest rate hikes may still slow down economic growth. Continued geopolitical tensions such as the Middle East conflict may also further affect trade and investments.
In July 2024, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) released its growth assumptions of 3.2 per cent for 2024. Outlook therefore remains week by historical standards. This is a further decline in momentum compared to growth of 3.3 per cent in 2022. ${ }^{1}$ GDP is expected to increase 0.9 per cent in Europe compared to 0.5 per cent growth in the previous year. For Germany, the IMF expects a GDP increase of 0.2 per cent; in 2023, GDP in Germany had still fallen by 0.2 per cent.
In the first six months of 2024, the nominal order intake of the German robotics and automation industry fell by 16 per cent - while an increase of 60 per cent was recorded for Europe. According to current estimates by the German Mechanical Engineering Industry Association (VDMA), revenue is expected to grow nominally by 2 per cent in 2024. For 2023, nominal growth remained at 13 per cent. ${ }^{2}$ The machine vision sector in Europe recorded a 7 per cent decline in revenue in 2023. For 2024, VDMA forecasts a nominal decline of 3 per cent. ${ }^{3}$

The STEMMER IMAGING Group was able to continue the positive trend in order intake and revenue development in the second quarter of the fiscal year and achieved revenue, EBITDA, and EBIT in line with expectations.
With regard to the forecast for the 2024 financial year, the Executive Board continues to see a challenging market environment characterized by a temporary reluctance to invest in key end markets. Based on the continued positive development of the order situation, the Executive Board upholds the revenue range from March of EUR 140 to EUR 157 million forecast for the current financial year and confirms the earnings forecast (EBITDA) of EUR 24 to 31 million, which does not take into account possible special charges affecting earnings in connection with the investment agreement with MiddleGround Capital.
This forecast is based on the assumption that demand will continue in the second half of the year in line with business performance so far, that the order backlog can be processed and that economic development will improve in the late third quarter at the latest. It is not yet possible to predict how the current distortion on international capital markets will affect the further economic recovery.

The consolidated interim financial statements as at 30 June 2024 have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS, as adopted by the EU) applicable on the reporting date and the additional requirements of German commercial law.
This condensed consolidated interim financial report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions set forth under IAS 34. The interim financial statements were prepared in euros.
The interim financial report does not include all of the disclosures normally contained in the financial statements for a full fiscal year. This means that this interim financial report should be read together with the annual financial statements for the fiscal year ending 31 December 2023 and all other public statements issued by STEMMER IMAGING during the reporting period.
The accounting policies used here are the same as those used in the prior fiscal year and the associated interim financial reporting period, along with new and amended standards which were adopted for the first time as explained below.
The consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2024, the consolidated income statement, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the reporting periods ending 30 June 2024 and 2023 and the condensed notes to the consolidated financial statements have not been audited or subjected to an auditor's review.
The changes due to the amendments to IAS 1 (Presentation of Financial Statements - Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current and Long-term Liabilities with Covenants), IFRS 16 (Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback), IAS 7 and IFRS 7 (Statement of Cash Flows and Financial Instruments: Disclosures on Supplier Finance Agreements) applicable from 1 January 2024 are of minor importance for accounting within the STEMMER IMAGING Group.
A number of new or amended standards took effect in the current reporting period. These did not, however, have a material impact on the Group's accounting policies or result in the need to make any retroactive adjustments.
Significant events and transactions
With effect from 7 May 2024, STEMMER IMAGING AG has acquired 100 per cent of the shares in Phase 1 Technology Corp., New York, USA. Phase 1 is a leading distributor that specializes in imaging with a focus on the North American market.
For reasons of simplification, the date of initial consolidation is 1 May 2024.
The purchase price of the shares is EUR 2,644 thousand, EUR 2,179 thousand of which has already been paid in cash. A liability of EUR 465 thousand remains outstanding.
The provisional difference on the assets side based on the provisional purchase price allocation amounts to EUR 1,581 thousand.
Non-capitalisable costs of EUR 186 thousand were incurred in the course of business operations and are reported under other operating expenses.
The following balance sheet items (based on preliminary purchase price allocation) have been taken over with the acquisition:
| in KEUR | Fair Value as at 07/05/2024 |
|---|---|
| Fair value total consideration transferred | 2,644 |
| Fair value of acquired assets and liabilities | |
| Intangible assets | 716 |
| Property, plant and equipment | 27 |
| Inventories | 667 |
| Trade receivables | 553 |
| Other financial and non-financial assets | 36 |
| Cash and cash equivalents | 47 |
| Deferred tax assets | 41 |
| Liabilities to banks | 226 |
| Trade payables | 606 |
| Other financial and non-financial liabilities | 43 |
| Deferred tax liabilities | 149 |
| Fair value of acquired net assets | 1,063 |
| Goodwill (preliminary) | 1,581 |
Liabilities to credit institutions refer to liabilities of less than 3 months that meet the definition of cash and cash equivalents under IFRS 7
The allocation of the purchase price, in particular the valuation of the acquired assets, had not yet been completed as of 30 June 2024.
Resolution of the Annual General Meeting on 14 May 2024
At the Annual General Meeting of STEMMER IMAGING AG on 14 May 2024 in Munich, a resolution was passed to use the retained profit for the 2023 fiscal year of EUR 17,940,115.78 to pay a dividend of EUR 2.70 on the 6,500,000 eligible no-par value shares (EUR 17,550,000.00) and to carry forward the remaining amount of EUR 390,115.78 to new account.
The dividend was paid on 17 May 2024 after deducting 25.0 per cent capital gains tax and 5.5 per cent solidarity surcharge on the capital gains tax (total deduction 26.375 per cent) and, where applicable, church tax on the capital gains tax by the credit institutions involved in handling the payment of the dividends.
The carrying amount of intangible assets on the reporting date is calculated as follows:
| in KEUR | ||
|---|---|---|
| $30 / 06 / 2024$ | $31 / 12 / 2023$ | |
| Goodwill | 20,926 | 19,378 |
| Concessions, property rights and patents | 472 | 523 |
| Customer base | 2,983 | 2,780 |
| Order backlog | 58 | 0 |
| Technology | 276 | 345 |
| Advance payments | 1,511 | 1,230 |
| Total | $\mathbf{2 6 , 2 2 6}$ | $\mathbf{2 4 , 2 5 6}$ |
In the reporting period, capitalised goodwill of EUR 1,581 thousand and further capitalised assets of EUR 711 thousand were added to intangible assets as part of the provisional purchase price allocation. Advance payments on intangible assets in the amount of EUR 281 thousand (1 January to 31 December 2023: EUR 573 thousand) were made in the reporting period from 1 January to 30 June 2024. The payments related to investments in external services for an expanded website with e-commerce features. The remaining changes are almost entirely attributable to amortisation in the reporting period and adjustments due to the measurement of goodwill denominated in a foreign currency.
As at the end of 30 June 2024, there was no indication of a need for an impairment charge to be applied to the Group's goodwill.
Inventories are composed as follows:
| in KEUR | ||
|---|---|---|
| $30 / 06 / 2024$ | $31 / 12 / 2023$ | |
| Raw materials and supplies | 156 | 156 |
| Goods | 10,592 | 12,459 |
| Advance payments | 107 | 105 |
| Total | $\mathbf{1 0 , 8 5 5}$ | $\mathbf{1 2 , 7 2 0}$ |
In connection with inventories, EUR 35,016 thousand (1 January to 31 December 2023: EUR 88,250 thousand) was expensed as cost of materials during the first half of the 2024 fiscal year.
The total cost of inventories recognised as income in the cost of materials includes write-ups to the net realisable value of EUR 33 thousand (1 January to 31 December 2023: EUR -445 thousand recognised in expenses) due to excess stock, obsolescence, reduced marketability or subsequent costs.
The inventories are expected to be used within twelve months.
| in KEUR | ||
|---|---|---|
| $30 / 06 / 2024$ | $31 / 12 / 2023$ | |
| Trade receivables | 20,125 | 21,774 |
| Impairment losses | -769 | -944 |
| Total | $\mathbf{1 9 , 3 5 6}$ | $\mathbf{2 0 , 8 3 0}$ |
The Group companies - with the exception of the STEMMER IMAGING Regions Spain, Portugal and Latin America - generally give payment terms of between 30 and 45 days. The Group does not charge interest to the customer for this period of time. Late payment interest will be subsequently charged on the outstanding amount in individual cases and in accordance with customary business practices in the respective country.
For trade receivables, valuation allowances are recorded using the expected loss method in accordance with IFRS 9.
Impairments losses on trade receivables developed as follows:
| in KEUR | ||
|---|---|---|
| $01 / 01-$ | $01 / 01-$ | |
| $30 / 06 / 2024$ | $31 / 12 / 2023$ | |
| As at the beginning of the fiscal year | -944 | -1,014 |
| Additions | -34 | -292 |
| Utilisation | 6 | 20 |
| Reversals | 199 | 361 |
| Currency adjustments, other changes | 11 | -19 |
| Change in scope of consolidation | -7 | 0 |
| Total | $\mathbf{- 7 6 9}$ | $\mathbf{- 9 4 4}$ |
The calculation of impairment losses on trade receivables is explained in section B 11 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2023.
The increase in the valuation allowances in the amount of EUR 34 thousand in the 2024 reporting period (1 January to 31 December 2023: EUR 292 thousand) and the concurrent reversal in the amount of EUR 199 thousand (1 January to 31 December 2023: EUR 361) result primarily from the lump-sum measurement in accordance with the expected loss model and from reversals due to individual case assessments.
The carrying amount of trade receivables is largely considered a suitable estimate of their fair value. Trade receivables are due within one year.
Cash and cash equivalents

| Total | 30,261 |
The reduction of the item as at 30 June 2024 is chiefly the result of the payment of dividends to shareholders and repayments on loans, despite positive operating cashflow.
For cash and cash equivalents, valuation allowances are made using the expected loss method in accordance with IFRS 9.
The following table shows the development of the valuation allowance for cash and cash equivalents:

IFRS 13 regulates how fair value is determined along with the related disclosures in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. The standard does not explicitly set out in which cases the fair value must be used. Fair value is defined as the price that independent market participants would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an arm's length transaction at the measurement date. The assets and liabilities measured at fair value are allocated to the three levels
of the fair value hierarchy in accordance with IFRS 13. The individual levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:
Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 is based on input factors that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i. e., as prices) or indirectly (i. e., derived from prices), and on input factors other than the quoted market prices included within Level 1.
Level 3 is based on input factors for the asset or liability that cannot be observed in a market (unobservable inputs).

STEMMER IMAGING AG analyses customer revenue not only by customer region with the highest revenue, but also by industry.
In the first half of 2024, the company was able to once again serve a wide range of industries without having any particular main industry focus. The end markets Factory Automation, Sport \& Entertainment, and Print \& Packaging together account for a revenue share of 29.1 per cent (1 January to 30 June 2023: 35.8 per cent). With regard to total revenue, there are no other material focal points.
A breakdown of revenue by region is also provided below:
| in KELIR | ||
|---|---|---|
| $01 / 01-30 / 06 / 2024$ | $01 / 01-30 / 06 / 2023$ | |

| Rest of world | 2,452 | 2,700 |
| Total | $\mathbf{5 8 , 3 1 2}$ | $\mathbf{7 8 , 3 7 4}$ |
The breakdown of revenue by region is based on the location of the customer, i. e., the place of delivery. STEMMER IMAGING did not generate more than 10 per cent of its total revenue with any one customer either in the first half of the 2024 fiscal year, or in the 2023 fiscal year.
