Mortsel (Belgium), May 9, 2023 – Agfa-Gevaert today commented on its results in the first quarter of 2023.
The recent sale of the Offset Solutions division (now rebranded to ECO3) influences the way the Agfa-Gevaert Group reports its results. The Q1 numbers from sales to EBITDA present the Agfa-Gevaert Group with Offset Solutions excluded (Asset held for Sale), but with a new division called 'Contractor Operations & Services former Offset' or 'CONOPS'. CONOPS represents the supply of film and chemicals as well as a set of support services delivered by Agfa to Offset Solutions. As of Q2, this will represent the agreements with the external party ECO3. The turnover represents the supply agreements, with corresponding COGS charges. The income related to the support services will be accounted for as Other Income, while the costs related to those support services are represented in the different SG&A lines. Q1 '23 reflects the financials as if the agreements are already in place. The comparative period Q1 '22 has been re-presented accordingly. As per IFRS 5, stranded costs related to Offset Solutions have been treated differently in 2023 vs 2022. In Q1'22 stranded costs are reported under CONOPS. In Q1 '23 these are absorbed by the 3 business divisions.

"Early April, we took an important step in our transformation journey with the divestment of our Offset Solutions division. This transaction will allow us to focus on our growing market segments, which is crucial for our future success. Businesswise, we are very satisfied with the Q1 performance of the growth engines in our Digital Print & Chemicals division. The huge potential of our Zirfon membranes for green hydrogen production is starting to materialize, as this business' Q1 revenue already exceeded that of the full year 2022. However, as it is still in an industrial ramp-up and development phase, the Zirfon business is not yet contributing to the results. In the Radiology Solutions division, we saw further top line and profitability improvements for Direct Radiography. HealthCare IT saw a 25% increase in order intake. However, this division's profit growth is influenced by a delay in order book implementation, as the increased portion of managed services implies revenue recognition over a longer period of time," said Pascal Juéry, President and CEO of the Agfa-Gevaert Group.
