Gerben Moerland, Chief Executive Officer of Ctac Group:

The strategy recalibration Ctac initiated at the start of this year, in which we are increasing the focus in our propositions and market positioning, has been positively received by our stakeholders. We have recently strengthened internal cooperation, further improved sales processes and intensified our focus on operational excellence. We are seeing the first results of these efforts. For instance, our pipeline is growing and we are seeing more cross-selling, enabling us to act even more as a group. The replacement of the service management system and our public cloud ERP system, aimed at safeguarding the strategy and taking the organisation to the next level, is on schedule. "

As previously indicated, our revenue model is shifting from traditional software licensing to a usagebased approach, driven by cloud migration. The trend seen in the first quarter is continuing. While hosting activities are declining, cloud-based licences are increasing. This increase is making a positive contribution to our Cloud services revenue. Ctac's increased focus on cloud solutions will eventually contribute to our continued growth.

The restraint of market players to make major investments persists, resulting in fewer and smaller projects. This is affecting both capacity utilisation rates and project revenue. At the same time, we have noted that the implementation of new technologies, including AI, is proceeding rapidly. We are working with clients to see how we can deploy this successfully. Ctac's unique expertise in ensuring good data quality contributes to successful AI implementations.

We expect the increase in ERP migrations to the cloud to contribute to future revenue. In the second half of the year, we will continue to focus on protecting profitability and converting our order pipeline into concrete projects.

Group performance

Revenue per service
€ mln (unless stated otherwise)
H1 2024 H1 2023 Delta
Projects and secondment 35.6 38.4 -7.3%
Cloud services 25.3 25.4 -0.4%
Licence and hardware sales 1.0 1.1 -9.1%
Total revenue from contracts with clients 61.9 64.9 -4.6%
Other income 0.3 - +100.0%

In the first half of 2024, revenue from contracts with clients came in at € 61.9 million, a decline of 4.6%, largely due to a lower contribution from Projects and secondment. Deferred investments and the smaller size of projects is making it challenging for Ctac to optimise capacity utilisation. Cloud services revenue declined by 0.4%. The transition of clients to the public cloud led to a decline in hosting revenue, while clients are postponing investments. An increase in cloud-based licences and the indexation of rates made a positive contribution to Cloud services revenue. Revenue from Licence and hardware sales declined slightly. Other revenue accounts for revenue Ctac used to execute ongoing implementation projects at Technology2Enjoy.

Indirect 92 92 0.0%
Total 446 468 -4.7%
Professional temporary staff (direct) 209 220 -5.0%

The decline in professional temporary staff was due the shift in Ctac's flexible shell in line with revenue from Projects and secondment.

Revenue per employee (based on average number of direct FTEs including professional temporary staff) increased slightly to € 109,900 in the first half of 2024, from € 108,900 in the first half of 2023.

EBIT 1.9 2.3 -17.4%
Margin 3.1% 3.5% -0.4%

EBITDA fell 12.2% to € 4.3 million. Profitability in the first half was affected by the challenges Ctac faced in optimising capacity utilisation and lower hosting revenue. The first half of 2023 included a one-off expense of € 0.6 million.

The tax rate fell to 27.5% in H1 2024 (2023: 31.5%). Net profit fell to € 1.2 million, which corresponds with earnings per share of € 0.09 (H1 2023: € 0.09).

The total number of outstanding ordinary shares stood at 14,149,023 at the end of H1 2024, the same as the number of shares at the end of H1 2023.

Net cash (at end-H1) 2.4 3.0 -20.0%
Headroom (at end-H1) 12.4 11.7 +6.0%

Operating cash flow came in at a negative € 1.0 million in the first half of 2024. This decline was due to the increase in current liabilities in the first half of 2023. Regular working capital management (accounts receivable and accounts payable) remains under control.

The net cash position stood at € 2.4 million at the end of the first half of 2024. Ctac repaid the remaining debts to credit institutions in full in the first quarter of 2024.

The current credit facility amounts to € 10.0 million in 2024, resulting in headroom of € 12.4 million.

Ctac's liquidity and capital position are healthy and provide a good starting position for growth.

Balance sheet

When compared with year-end 2023, intangible fixed assets declined by € 0.4 million to € 26.5 million at the end of June 2024, due to regular depreciation and capitalised amounts for the replacement of the service management system and the implementation of the public cloud ERP system.

Other receivables had increased by about € 1.8 million to € 12.9 million at the end of June 2024, mainly due to higher prepaid expenses.

Equity declined to € 28.2 million as a result of a dividend payment (year-end 2023: € 28.5 million). Solvency had improved to 41.7% at the end of June 2024 (year-end 2023: 40.0%) due to a reduction in the balance sheet.

Current and long-term lease liabilities remained unchanged at € 9.2 million compared with year-end 2023. Ctac repaid debts to credit institutions in full in the first half of the year.

Provisions at year-end 2023 were primarily related to the provision for long-term sickness. Ctac used this provision to insure this risk in 2024.

When compared with year-end 2023, trade and other payables had declined by € 1.1 million to € 28.4 million at the end of June 2024, due to lower balance sheet positions related to the payment of holiday pay and bonuses.

Outlook

Given the restraint in the market to make major investments and the improved pipeline of leads in the first six months of 2024, in the second half of the year we will focus on converting our pipeline into concrete orders, while maintaining our focus on protecting our profitability.

Thanks to the added focus due to the recalibration of our strategy and the fact that we are now acting even more as a group, Ctac has put itself in a promising position for the expected growth of Cloud services and ERP implementations.

Note to equity attributable to group shareholders

Equity attributable to group shareholders stood at € 28,169 thousand as at 30 June 2024. Changes during the first half of 2024 were related to:

  • Dividend for 2023 paid in cash.
  • Difference between the dividend and profit for 2023 taken from other reserves.
  • Net profit attributable to group shareholders for the first half of 2024 recognised as undistributed profit.

Segment results

The Board of Directors, being the chief operating decision maker, receives separate reports for each of Ctac's operating companies (Ctac B.V., Ctac Resourcing B.V., Oliver B.V., Purple Square Management B.V., Technology2Enjoy Holding B.V., Digisolve-Mijn-ICT B.V. and Ctac Belgium B.V.). These entities are therefore viewed as separate operating segments. The Board of Directors has combined the Dutch operating companies in a separately reportable segment, the Netherlands, because they have the same economic characteristics. Belgium is also considered a separately reportable segment. The Board of Directors receives its information at operating segment level. In accordance with IFRS 8.12, all qualitative elements have been met and these have therefore been merged into one reporting segment. The holding activities are included in the 'other' segment.

The segment results can be specified as follows:

Note to the consolidated interim financial statements

General information on Ctac

Ctac N.V. is a public limited liability company, established and domiciled in the Netherlands, with its head office and statutory seat at Meerendonkweg 11, 5216 TZ 's-Hertogenbosch. The consolidated interim financial statements include the company and all its subsidiaries (together referred to as 'Ctac').

The group's financial year is the same as the calendar year. The consolidated interim financial statements for the first six months ended 30 June 2024 were approved by both the Board of Directors and the Supervisory Board on 23 July 2024.

Statement of compliance

The consolidated interim financial statements for the first six months ended 30 June 2024 were prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'interim financial reporting' and do not include all the information and disclosures required in the preparation of the full financial statements. The consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated full-year 2023 financial statements, which were prepared in accordance with IFRS, as adopted in the European Union.

Ctac's condensed consolidated half-year financial statements have been prepared in Dutch and in English and the Dutch version is leading.

Accounting policies (condensed)

For an explanation of the accounting policies and the statement of cash flows, please see the consolidated fullyear 2023 financial statements. The consolidated full-year 2023 financial statements were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and its interpretations as adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and as accepted for use within the European Union, and the statutory provisions of Part 9 of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code.

The same principles were applied for the interim figures, with the exception of the new principles, amendments of principles and interpretations that have been included and found relevant for Ctac. The accounting policies were applied consistently by all subsidiaries for all periods presented in these consolidated interim financial statements.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in euros. Amounts are stated in thousands of euros, unless stated otherwise.

Standards, amendments and interpretations

Insofar as applicable, the group has applied all published IFRS standards, amendments and interpretations effective as of 1 January 2024. Ctac has not opted for the early application of any published but not yet effective standards, amendments or interpretations. Various amendments and interpretations are required with effect from 2024 but have no impact on the condensed interim financial statements. The interim financial statements have not been audited.

Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with IFRS regulations requires the Board of Directors to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that influence the effect of policies and the measurements of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. The estimates and assumptions made are based on historical experience and various other factors that are considered realistic under the circumstances. The estimates and assumptions made have served as the basis for assessing the value of recognised assets and liabilities. However, actual results and circumstances may differ from the estimates made.

For an overview of the key estimates and assumptions, please see the key estimates and assumptions section in the consolidated full-year 2023 financial statements. The risk related to the put/call contracts is no longer a significant estimate as of June 2024, as Ctac acquired the remaining minority interests in the first half of 2024. Relative to the other risks, in the first half of 2024 there were no significant changes to the estimates disclosed in the full-year financial statements.

Impairment test

Ctac performs an impairment test once a year. The results realised in the first half of the year and the expectations regarding the development of the results for the second half of the year do not currently give cause to assume the presence of an impairment trigger.

Risk profile

Ctac described the most relevant risks and mitigating measures in its 2023 Annual Report. Ctac distinguishes between strategic, financial, cyber and operational risks and control measures. Ctac has evaluated the risks identified and determined that the risks identified are still applicable.

Financing facility

Ctac's liquidity management is performed centrally. To this end, Ctac makes use of the centrally managed committed credit facility at ABN AMRO Bank in the Netherlands for a total amount of € 10.0 million. The credit facility has a term of four years (December 2027) with an option to extend by one year.

The covenant within the credit facility consists of a 'total net debt/EBITDA' ratio. The ratio may not exceed 2.5. 'Total net debt' refers to all interest-bearing bank borrowings less cash on demand. The EBITDA is income before depreciation and impairments of tangible and intangible assets, interest and other financing income and expenses, results from participating interests, taxes and third-party interests. Ctac complies with the required ratio.

With regard to the short-term interest-bearing bank borrowings, i.e. the credit facility, Ctac owes a variable basic interest rate. The interest consists of one-month average Euribor plus a Euribor market margin and a fixed margin. In the credit agreement, this fixed margin is set at 1.20%. The bank has the option to change this margin on a quarterly basis. There has been no such change.
