Financial results
Elior (Euronext Paris – ISIN: FR 0011950732), one of the world's leading operators in the contracted food and support services industry, today released its results for the first half of FY 2014-2015, corresponding to the six months ended March 31, 2015.
Commenting on these results, Philippe Salle – Elior's new Chairman and Chief Executive Officer – stated: "The Group's first-half performance was in line with our forecasts with organic growth at 2.8% and EBITDA margin slightly down year-on-year. For the second quarter we saw sustained business development despite our more selective approach to contracts (particularly in Italy), with solid organic growth of 2.2% and a slight year-on-year increase in EBITDA margin. In the first six months of 2014-2015 we continued to seize numerous growth opportunities in our various markets while keeping tight control over costs. We expect our business momentum to be strong in the second half of 2014-2015, thanks to the favorable impacts of the cost efficiency plans put in place in late 2014 and the ramp-up of new concessions during the high season. We are confident that we will be able to meet our full-year targets and our bottom line will be boosted by the positive effects of the accretive refinancing operations we have carried out since the beginning of the fiscal year."

Elior's consolidated financial statements for the first half of 2014-2015 have been affected by the application of IFRIC 21, "Levies" – issued in connection with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) – which concerns the recognition of taxes other than on income and is applicable by the Group on a retrospective basis from the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2014. In accordance with IFRIC 21, levies are now recognized when the obligation to pay the levy (the "obligating event") is triggered, whereas previously their recognition was deferred throughout the fiscal year. The impact on the first-half 2014- 2015 income statement represented negative amounts of €4.4 million pre-tax and €3.1 million post-tax (positive amounts of €2.9 million and €2.0 million respectively for the first quarter of the fiscal year). The income statement for the first six months of 2013-2014 has been restated for the same pre-tax and post-tax amounts. This change in accounting method affects the Group's interim financial statements but the full year impact of applying IFRIC 21 for full-year 2014-2015 should be virtually nil.
Consolidated revenue totaled €2,822.7 million in the first half of 2014-2015. The 5.6% increase on the first six months of 2013-2014 reflects robust organic growth of 2.8% over the period. The October 2014 acquisition of Lexington in the United Kingdom added 0.8% to revenue growth, net of the effect of the disposal of non-strategic concession catering operations in Argentina and Morocco in December 2013. Changes in exchange rates had a 1.9% net positive impact, mainly due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar and sterling against the euro. The portion of revenue generated by international operations in the first six months of 2014-2015 was 49.1% versus 46.7% in first-half 2013-2014.
Contract Catering & Support Services revenue was up €113.2 million, or 5.7%, on the firsthalf 2013-2014 figure, coming in at €2,103.5 million and representing 75% of total consolidated revenue.
Organic growth was 2.3% over the period, driven by a particularly strong performance in international markets.
Changes in the scope of consolidation pushed up Contract Catering & Support Services revenue by 1.2%, fueled by the acquisition of Lexington which had a €24.8 million positive impact.
Lastly, changes in exchange rates had a positive 2.0% effect.
In France, revenue reached €1,124.1 million, with overall organic growth amounting to 0.7%. The pace of growth accelerated in the second quarter to 1.1% following on from 0.4% in the first quarter.
In international markets, revenue rose 11.6% year on year to €979.4 million. Organic growth was 4.3%, propelled by the United States, the United Kingdom and Spain, while Italy posted a slight revenue contraction. The acquisition of Lexington in the United
Kingdom and positive currency effects generated additional revenue growth of 2.8% and 4.6% respectively.
Concession Catering & Travel Retail revenue advanced by 5.5% year on year to €719.2 million, representing 25% of total consolidated revenue, in a period that is traditionally this business line's low season.
Organic growth was 4.1% overall, with a slight slowdown in the second quarter. Changes in scope of consolidation – corresponding to the sale in December 2013 of the Group's concession catering subsidiaries in Argentina and Morocco – trimmed 0.6% off revenue, while changes in exchange rates, notably for the U.S. dollar, had a positive 2.0% impact.
Revenue generated in France, Germany, Belgium and Italy rose 4.9% year on year to €432.5 million, with the increase entirely due to organic growth as there were no changes in scope of consolidation during the period.
In Spain, Portugal and the Americas, growth of 6.5% over the period pushed revenue up to €286.6 million. Organic growth came to 3.0%.
Business development was solid overall in the first six months of 2014-2015. However, the client retention rate for the Contract Catering & Support Services business line was negatively affected by a difficult operating environment in Italy, where budgetary pressure exerted by certain public authority clients at the time of contract renewals compelled the Group to adopt a more selective business development approach. A number of major contracts were signed in the second quarter of the fiscal year, notably with Fondation Caisses d'Epargne, the Stade de France and In City in France, as well as with hospitals in Seville in Spain, private retirement homes and Royal Air Force bases in the United Kingdom, and detention centers in the United States. Also during the second quarter, the Group won several bids for contract renewals for motorway service areas in the Concession Catering & Travel Retail business line in France.
Consolidated EBITDA climbed by €8.4 million to €204.4 million in first-half 2014-2015 and represented 7.2% of revenue versus 7.3% for the first six months of 2013-2014.
EBITDA for the Contract Catering & Support Services business line advanced to €179.7 million from €173.9 million, representing an 8.5% EBITDA margin, slightly down compared to the first-half 2013-2014.
Concession Catering & Travel Retail EBITDA rose to €28.7 million (4.0% of revenue) from €26.3 million (3.9% of revenue) in the first six months of 2013-2014.
When analyzing EBITDA margin for the Concession Catering & Travel Retail business line it is important to note that it is significantly affected by seasonal fluctuations, as business volumes are much lower in the first two quarters of the year than in the last two quarters.
Attributable profit for the period was up sharply, amounting to €40.2 million versus €20.8 million in the first six months of 2013-2014. This drove an increase in earnings per share to €0.24 from €0.19.
Non-recurring items represented a net expense of €16.7 million and primarily included non-recurring costs relating to the Group's senior debt refinancing carried out in December 2014. This refinancing significantly reduced finance costs as from December 10, 2014.
At €42.2 million, net financial expense was considerably lower than in the first half of 2013-2014, reflecting (i) the early repayment of a portion of the Group's debt following the IPO in June 2014, (ii) the debt refinancing carried out in December 2014, and (iii) improved financial conditions for the Group's securitization programs obtained in the second quarter of 2014-2015.
Income tax rose to €30.1 million from €22.5 million, reflecting the higher level of taxable profit in the first half of 2014-2015 compared with the equivalent period of 2013-2014.
Operating cash flow1 (before interest and tax) represented a net €7.5 million outflow in first-half 2014-2015. This €21.1 million negative swing compared with the €13.6 million net cash inflow recorded for the first half of 2013-2014 reflects an unfavorable basis of comparison, as operating cash flow was boosted by €17 million in that period due to oneoff receivables sales in Spain following the Spanish government's decision to reduce its payment terms.
Net debt amounted to €1,586 million at March 31, 2015, down €687 million (30.2%) on the March 31, 2014 figure. This resulted in a leverage ratio2 of 3.47x EBITDA compared with 5.25x one year earlier.

Calculated in accordance with the definition in the SFA: Consolidated net debt/EBITDA pro forma for acquisitions and divestments carried out in the past twelve months
