1.2. Analysis of the results

First half of 2021 highlights

  • Strong sales growth in all regions resulting in record-high sales of € 404.0m (+39.7%)
  • Volume growth driven by strong residential construction market (both renovation and new build)
  • Resilient Adj. EBITDA-margin at 12.6% despite unprecedented increase in raw material prices
  • Net profit of € 20.6m or € 0.15 EPS thanks to strong operational result and lower financial charges
  • Financial leverage decreased to 0.9x Adj. EBITDA
  • Important preparatory steps being set to lower our carbon footprint towards CO2-neutrality
  • Strong residential construction market as well as high raw material prices expected to persist in H2

Francis Van Eeckhout, CEO, comments:

"I am extremely pleased with our performance in the first half of this year. Despite constrained supply of raw materials, we have been able to realize a strong volume growth in all our regions. Yet, due to the particularly strong demand in combination with raw material scarcity, we have not always been able to meet our delivery terms towards our customers, which we deeply regret. In addition, in order to avoid production outages and further delays in deliveries, we had to accept higher purchase prices month after month, which has forced us to increase our selling prices several times. Going forward, we might have to further increase our prices to protect our margins or to restore them in some markets where we

have had a delay in passing on the higher raw material prices. At the same time, we will continue to do our utmost to provide the best service to our customers."

Sales

Consolidated sales over the first six months of 2021 amount to € 404.0m, representing an increase by 39.7% vs H1 2020 (€ 289.2m) and by 29.3% vs H1 2019 (€ 312.5m).

The main driver for this increase has been a very strong residential construction market in all regions, resulting in a volume growth at Group level by 31.5%. Renovation has benefited from leisure budgets and stimulus money being spent on home improvement while new built has benefited from the increased demand for single family homes. Also, the higher consumer confidence linked to the reopening of the economy and the progress of vaccination has supported our business.

Price increases implemented to mitigate the effect of higher raw material prices further drove sales higher as well. As PVC prices have increased month after month from mid-2020 until now, we have been forced on multiple occasions to adjust our selling prices. The speed at which we can do this differs from region to region, but on average it takes about three months before higher raw material prices are fully translated into higher selling prices.

Weaker currencies, mainly the Turkish lira and the US dollar, had an important negative effect on consolidated sales of (15.7)% or € (45.3)m.

Income statement

The Adjusted EBITDA over the first half of 2021 increased by € 23.2m to € 51.0m or 12.6% on sales (vs € 27.8m or 9.6% on sales in H1 2020 and vs € 30.2m or 9.7% on sales in H1 2019). This improvement, despite severe headwind from raw material price inflation, is primarily driven by the higher sales volumes, price increases and strict control of fixed costs.

In spite of multiple price increases throughout the first half of 2021, our Gross Margin has decreased from 30.7% in H1 2020 to 29.4% in H1 2021. This is mainly due to the inevitable delay in passing on higher raw material prices. Alongside price increases, also the higher operational efficiency as a result of both higher production volumes and the rationalization of our operational footprint in Europe have contributed to the resilience of our Gross Margin.

Depreciations slightly decreased from € 20.4m in H1 2020 to € 19.1m in H1 2021.

Adjusted EBITDA-items (difference between EBITDA and Adj. EBITDA) amount to € 2.7m (H1 2020: € 1.4m) and include mainly costs related to the transition to the iCOR platform.

As a consequence of the above, the operational result (EBIT) improved to € 29.3m from € 6.0m in H1 2020.

The financial result has improved from € (9.3)m in H1 2020 to € (5.2)m as a result of lower financial debt, lower use of trade finance solutions and a one-off positive FX effect of € 1.5m.

Net result for the first half of 2021 is a profit of € 20.6m versus a loss of € 3.4m in H1 2020. Earnings per share amount to € 0.15 (H1 2020: loss of € 0.03).

Cash flow and Balance sheet

The Net Financial Debt has decreased from € 118.4m on 30/06/2020 to € 97.0m on 30/06/2021. As a result of this lower NFD and the higher LTM Adj. EBITDA (€ 109.3m LTM to 30/06/2021 vs € 58.3m LTM to 30/06/2020), the leverage of the Group has decreased from 2.0x to 0.9x.

Capex amounted to € 24.8m versus € 8.9m in H1 2020. The higher capex in H1 2021 is primarily explained by the purchase of a warehouse in Turkey and by capital expenditures to further support our strategic projects such as capacity expansion in recycling and the platform migration in Europe.

Working capital at € 120.8m on 30/06/2021 was € 32.0m higher than on 30/06/2020 (€ 88.8m) which is mainly due to higher trade receivables as a result of higher sales volumes.

Raw materials update

Since mid-2020 PVC prices have relentlessly increased to reach new record prices month after month in H1 2021. The major cause of this unprecedented price increase is a strong imbalance between supply and demand. Price increases of the feedstock components (mainly oil and ethylene) have only played a secondary role.

An abrupt decrease of PVC production in 2020 induced by Covid-19 followed by a strong acceleration of production in the beginning of 2021 caused several force majeures at the already limited number of PVC producers. The worldwide supply shortages as a result of this in combination with high demand from the construction sector and from China have pushed prices up.

For additives similar or even stronger price increases occurred. A worldwide supply shortage, caused by the winter storm in Texas (US) causing several force majeures upstream and by a lack of sea containers from Asia, created never seen price increases.

Although most of the force majeures at PVC producers have been lifted recently, we foresee further upward pressure on raw material prices, albeit more moderate than in the past twelve months. At best, raw material prices could stabilize at the current high levels.

Strategic projects

Our strategic projects remain on track. The commercial launch of our state-of-the-art window concept Elegant is ramping up fast in Western Europe and the transition in Central Europe from the former Inoutic-platform to the revolutionary modular iCor-system is gaining momentum as well.

As sustainability is a top priority for Deceuninck, we are happy to announce that we have hired an experienced full-time sustainability manager who will guide us to the next level in our sustainability trajectory. An important milestone has been the calculation, together with CO2logic (www.co2logic.com), of our carbon footprint. The results of this study are currently being analyzed and ambitious targets are being defined in order to lower our carbon footprint towards CO2-neutrality.

The additional investments in our recycling site in Diksmuide (BE) announced in our press release of 25 February 2021 are being implemented and are expected to be operational by the end of the year.

Outlook

We expect the strong performance of the residential construction market seen in the first half of the year to continue in the second. While the effect of leisure budgets and stimulus money being spent on home improvement might decrease next year, we expect that the EU Green Deal will gradually boost the renovation wave in Europe.

As raw material prices are expected to further increase, we will have to continue to adhere to a strict pricing discipline of translating higher raw material prices into higher selling prices.

In the long term, we continue to believe that PVC-windows, with their highest insulation values against the lowest carbon footprint, are part of the solution to address climate change by making buildings more energy-efficient. We therefore are convinced that our products can materially contribute to the ambitions set by the EU in their 'Fit for 55' climate plan to reduce CO2 emissions by 55% by 2030.

1.3. Risks and uncertainties

We refer to the following sections of the Annual Report 2020:

  • Internal control and risk management systems (pp. 64 68)
  • Consolidated financial statements and notes: Note 25. Risk Management (pp. 173 177)

Credit risk

The products of Deceuninck are used almost exclusively in the construction industry. Hence, the exposure to credit risk is highly dependent on the performance of the building industry and the general economic conditions.

In order to minimize the credit risk, we are closely monitoring the payment behaviour of each debtor. The Group uses credit insurance to mitigate the credit risk related to trade receivables. Credit insurance policies have been taken out with different insurers.

Commercial limits, set based on financial information and on business knowledge, can deviate from the insured limits. Commercial limits have also been lowered to further reduce the credit risk and to match as much as possible the amounts covered by credit insurance. Where needed we seek alternatives to mitigate our risk, such as bank guarantees or pledges on customer's assets (machinery, buildings, land plots, etc.).

In view of the increased uncertainty caused by the Covid-19 pandemic the Group has applied a very strict credit management throughout 2021 in order to limit the potential losses due to customer defaults. Payment behaviour of our customers has been monitored very closely and unpaid invoices have resulted immediately in a blocking of all open orders from day one.

Furthermore, the impact of COVID-19 on the expected credit loss (ECL) model and related credit risk provisions has been assessed and to the extent possible based on external expert reports.

Liquidity risk

Deceuninck has a wide range of financing sources at its disposal, such as the € 100M retail bond, credit facilities with banks in Belgium and Turkey and important factoring and commercial finance facilities. Cash flow and liquidity projections confirm that these financing sources are largely sufficient for the funding of its operating activities.

Liquidity problems could arise if an event of default would occur under one of the loan agreements which is not remedied within the foreseen remedy period. In that case, the outstanding amounts under that loan agreement might become immediately due and payable, which could jeopardize the liquidity situation of the Group. The current budget and updates thereof however do not point at any such event of default in the foreseeable future.

2. Segment information

An operating segment is a separate business unit in the Group, which produces goods or provides specific services within a defined economic environment, whose risks and profitability differ from those of the other operating segments.

Three segments have been defined based on the location of legal entities. They include the following entities:

  1. Europe: Benelux, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, France, Italy, Germany, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Russia, Spain and the United Kingdom;

  2. North America: Canada and United States;

  3. Turkey & Emerging Markets: Australia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, India, Mexico, Thailand and Turkey.

There are no segments aggregated in order to establish the above segments.

Transfer prices between the operational segments are based on an "at arm's length basis" equal to transactions with third parties.

The accounting policies for the operational segments are equal to these of the consolidated financial statements.

The Group identified the Executive Management as its Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"). The segments have been defined based on the information provided to the Executive Management.

The Executive Management monitors the performance of its operational segments based on sales and adjusted EBITDA per segment and makes decisions about resource allocation on this geographical segmentation basis. Segment information provided to the CODM includes results, assets and liabilities that can be attributed directly to those segments.

3. Seasonality of operations

Due to the seasonal nature of the construction industry, demand is higher around summer period.

4. Income taxes

The major components of income tax expense in the interim consolidated income statement are:

FOR THE 6 MONTH PERIOD ENDED 30 JUNE H1 2020 H1 2021

The recoverability of deferred income tax assets (DTA) on tax losses carried forward and other tax credits has been reassessed including a prudency factor reflecting forecast uncertainties. The total reassessment has no material impact on the total DTA recognized.

5. Goodwill

IAS 36 requires that goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets be tested for impairment at least every year and whenever there is an indicator that those assets might need to be impaired.

There are no substantial changes or evolutions that are considered as an indicator for impairment.

6. Investment in a joint venture

The Group's interests in joint ventures and associates accounted for under the equity method are assessed for impairment in accordance with IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures.

There are no substantial changes or evolutions that are considered as an indicator for impairment.

7. Trade and other receivables

The impact of COVID-19 on the expected credit loss model (ECL) has been assessed. Forward-looking information is adjusted to reflect the increase in credit risk as well as the amount at risk resulting from COVID-19.

We considered the expected increase in insolvencies as estimated by external experts1 and reflected these in our reassessment of the COVID-19 related credit risk.

  • Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly
  • Level 3: techniques that use input with a significant impact on the recorded fair value that is not based on observable market data.

During the reporting period ending 30 June 2021, there were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements, and no transfers into and out of Level 3 fair value measurements.

5. Report of the statutory auditor

Statutory auditor's report on the review of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2021

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements, consisting of the consolidated balance sheet of Deceuninck NV and its subsidiaries (jointly "the Group") as of June 30, 2021 and the related 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 six-month period then ended, as well as the explanatory notes. The board of directors is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this consolidated condensed Interim Financial Information in accordance with IAS 34, as adopted by the European Union. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this consolidated condensed interim financial information based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity." A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and, consequently, does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying consolidated condensed Interim Financial Information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34, as adopted by the European Union.
