Revenue, earnings and financial position

img-1.jpeg
Revenue

From January to September 2021, the EINHELL Group generated revenue of EUR 686.7 million (previous year: EUR 529.6 million). This represents a substantial increase in revenue year-on-year. The EINHELL Group was thus once again able to generate significant revenue growth in financial year 2021. Demand for DIY products continues to be very high in financial year 2021.

Revenue growth was mainly driven by an increase in market share as well as strong demand for Power X-Change products. As at 30 September 2021, the share of Power X-Change products sold in total revenue stands at 37.0% (previous year: 30.4%).

img-2.jpeg
Earnings

From January to September 2021, the EINHELL Group generated profit before income taxes of

EUR 58.8 million (previous year: EUR 37.4 million). The pre-tax margin is 8.6% (previous year: 7.1%).

The earnings performance improved further compared to the previous year, driven by significantly higher revenues and higher gross profit margins. However, the Group continues to invest heavily in products and marketing to further strengthen the solid foundation for the future performance of the business.

Consolidated net income after minority interest amounts to EUR 40.8 million in the period under review (previous year: EUR 26.2 million). Earnings per share amount to EUR 10.8 (previous year: EUR 6.9 per share).

Personnel expenses has increased compared to the prior-year period at EUR 77.0 million (previous year: EUR 64.6 million). The increase is primarily due to the higher number of employees and increased provisions for variable compensation components.

Depreciation & amortisation rose in financial year 2021 to EUR 7.9 million (previous year: EUR 6.9 million). The higher investments in property, plant and equipment made last year will lead to increased depreciation in financial year 2021.

Other expenses increased from EUR 75.6 million to EUR 101.4 million. The increase was mainly due to higher revenues. Furthermore, higher expenses for logistics and marketing led to higher other operating expenses. The share in revenue that was expended on marketing measures amounts to 4.1% in the EINHELL Group (previous year: 3.1%).

The financial result of EUR -2.2 million (previous year: EUR -1.8 million) is lower than in the previous year.

Financial position

The material items in the statement of financial position as at 30 September 2021 and 30 September 2020 are as follows:


Quarterly notification as of 30 September 2021

in EUR million Q3 2021 Q3 2020
Non-current assets incl. deferred tax assets 111.4 85.3
Inventories 295.3 139.4
Trade receivables 151.5 129.6
Cash and cash equivalents 13.6 38.4
Equity 311.8 231.1
Liabilities to banks 71.6 24.0

In the period under review, the EINHELL Group made investments amounting to EUR 10.8 million (previous year: EUR 10.0 million). The majority of this was spent on operating and office equipment and assets under construction. Moreover, non-current assets also include right-of-use assets for property, plant and equipment under rental and lease contracts in the amount of EUR 12.2 million (previous year: EUR 11.8 million).

Goods inventories increased significantly as against the prior-year period to EUR 295.3 million (previous year: EUR 139.4 million). As high capacity utilisation on the supplier side often leads to bottlenecks and utilisation of sea freight capacities is also high, the Board of Directors has decided to significantly increase inventory levels.

The situation in supply chain management continues to be difficult, which is why the Board of Directors has decided to generally increase stocks in order to maintain the Group's good delivery performance in the upcoming months.

Trade receivables are shown after deduction of impairment for expected future credit defaults. Mainly driven by the revenue increase, trade receivables climbed by EUR 21.9 million year-on-year to EUR 151.5 million in the period under review (previous year: EUR 129.6 million). The COVID-19 crisis could in principle result in an increased risk of default for trade receivables in the coming months. For this reason, impairments corresponding to the expected default rate were recognised as at 30 September 2021.

At EUR 25.9 million, other non-financial assets were slightly above the previous year's level (previous year: EUR 22.5 million). The increase is driven by the increase in VAT receivables of our procurement companies in China.

Cash amounts to EUR 13.6 million on the reporting date (previous year: EUR 38.4 million). Liabilities to banks rose from EUR 24.0 million in the prior-year period to EUR 71.6 million. This is a result of the significant increase in inventories and trade receivables.

Performance by region

img-3.jpeg

The revenue performance was extremely strong in the first nine months of financial year 2021.

Revenue in the individual regions developed as follows:

in EURk Q3 2021 Q3 2020
D/A/CH 294,721 234,142

Overseas 150,640 114,412
Other countries 49,952 28,438
EINHELL Group 686,671 529,646

Not only revenue, but also profit before income taxes increased significantly, amounting to EUR 58.8 million (previous year: EUR 37.4 million). The development in the individual regions was as follows:

img-4.jpeg

D/A/CH

Revenue in the D/A/CH region increased significantly to EUR 294.7 million in the first nine months of financial year 2021 (previous year: EUR 234.1 million). Revenue growth was driven by a continued increase in revenue with Power X-Change products as well as the fact that EINHELL managed to further expand its market share, especially in the D/A/CH region.

img-5.jpeg

High revenues and a stable gross profit margin led to a very strong profit before income taxes of EUR 29.4 million in the D/A/CH region.

img-6.jpeg

Western Europe

The Western Europe region was also able to generate significant revenue growth. All countries in the region saw a significant increase in revenue compared to the previous year. The companies with the highest revenue in the Western Europe region were EINHELL France with EUR 42.1 million, EINHELL Italy with EUR 31.2 million and EINHELL UK with EUR 19.9 million.

img-7.jpeg


Quarterly notification as of 30 September 2021

Profit before income taxes increased substantially to EUR 10.7 million in the Western Europe region. The most profitable countries in the Western Europe region were Italy and France.

Eastern Europe

img-8.jpeg

The Eastern Europe region also exceeded the previous year's revenue level. The companies with the highest revenue in the Eastern Europe region were EINHELL Croatia and EINHELL Turkey.

img-9.jpeg

The companies in Eastern Europe were also able to significantly exceed their prior-year profit levels. EINHELL Turkey in particular achieved strong growth in revenue and earnings compared to the previous year, despite the difficult environment. At the same time, all other countries in this region were also able to achieve profit growth.

Overseas

img-10.jpeg

The Overseas region generated extremely high revenues in the first nine months of financial year 2021.

Revenue increased noticeably from EUR 114.4 million to EUR 150.6 million. While significant revenue growth was generated by EINHELL Australia, the South American companies also achieved considerable increases.

img-11.jpeg

Profit before income taxes is clearly above the previous year's level in the first nine months of financial year 2021. Especially noteworthy was the fact that not only Australia, but also the companies in South America achieved significant increases in earnings.


Quarterly notification as of 30 September 2021

Other countries

img-12.jpeg

The Other countries were also able to achieve an increase in revenue. This region comprises almost exclusively the revenues generated by our companies in Hong Kong.

img-13.jpeg

Earnings in the Other countries region also increased significantly, driven by a considerable increase in direct business transactions in the region.

Group structure

EINHELL Germany set up a wholly-owned subsidiary in Uruguay in the period under review. The company was established in a free trade zone in Montevideo, where EINHELL will maintain a

central supply warehouse for South American customers in order to optimise the complex import handling in some of the South American countries.

Current strategic developments

We will continue to develop our international distribution network in the medium term in order to be able to achieve our medium-term revenue targets. For this purpose, we will both unlock additional potential in the existing markets and tap into new DIY markets where we are not yet present. The two South African companies in which we acquired shares in 2020 are to be integrated into our EINHELL organisation. Furthermore, EINHELL plans to establish new subsidiaries or successfully conclude contracts with partners in additional countries.

The main focus in the next few years will be on our Power X-Change platform. The revenue share of the Power X-Change platform is to be expanded to significantly more than 50% in the medium term. To achieve this goal, we strive to offer more than 200 Power X-Change units on our platform by the end of 2021.

The online trading segment continues to grow. The e-commerce share in Group revenue amounts to 24.9% as of 30 September 2021 (2020 financial year: 20.4%). EINHELL will systematically continue on its path towards digital leadership in the B2B segment. Various projects and measures are planned to promote future revenue growth, which will increasingly be driven by digital distribution channels. The focus will be on social media, additions to the website, product advisors for Power X-Change products and the expansion and optimisation of product detail pages.

Events after reporting date

No further events took place after the reporting date that could have a significant impact on net assets, financial position and results of operations.


Quarterly notification as of 30 September 2021

Outlook

The Board of Directors' assumptions and forecasts are based on the information currently available.

The Group continued to perform well in 2021 despite the increases in sea freight rates and raw material prices. This has prompted the Board of Directors of the EINHELL Group to raise the guidance. The Board of Directors now expects revenue of approx. EUR 880 million (previously: EUR 830 to 850 million) in the 2021 financial year and a pre-tax margin of about 8.5% (previously: 8.0%). The COVID-19 pandemic continues to create uncertainty, which could affect the procurement and sales markets to an extent impossible to calculate.

In summary, it can be concluded that the EINHELL Group is on track for continued success. Based on previous experience during the pandemic and due to its strong positioning in the various distribution channels, the EINHELL Group expects a continued positive business development.
