Registered capital of 221,793,981 euros – RCS: 499 668 440 Nanterre
1 Alternative performance measures are defined in the "Financial definitions" section, page 7 of this release
Saint-Cloud, July 29, 2020 - Elis, an international multi-service provider, offering textile, hygiene and facility services solutions that is present in Europe and Latin America, today announces its results for the 6 months ended June 30, 2020. The accounts have been approved by the Management Board and examined by the Supervisory board this day. They have been subject to a limited review by the Company's auditors.
Commenting on the announcement, Xavier Martiré, CEO of Elis, said:
"H1 2020 results are very satisfactory with EBITDA margin improvement and largely positive free cash flow in an environment marked by the Covid-19 pandemic. This performance demonstrates once again the Group's responsiveness and resilience, quickly adapting and taking all the necessary operational measures in a context of unprecedented crisis.
The confinement measures implemented in most countries in which we operate obviously had an impact on our activity, especially in Hospitality. As a result, Elis' organic revenue was down c. 15% in H1 with Q2 down -27% and a low point reached in April.
In this context, Elis reacted swiftly: As soon as the first confinement measures were implemented in Europe, the Group adjusted its operational and managerial structures in order to preserve its margins and cash flow. More than 100 plants were shut down during this period and production teams have been cut on a case by case basis. On top of these adjustments linked to activity, Elis has launched a cost reduction plan in all its countries' head offices to ensure a long-term cost base decrease. H1 EBITDA margin was up 20bps and free cash flow after lease payments was 56 million euros, an improvement of + 75 million euros compared to the same period last year.
Other measures have also been taken to improve the Group's liquidity. Elis obtained, at its request, a waiver regarding its bank covenant test as of 30 June 2020, 31 December 2020 and 30 June 2021 in order to benefit from greater financial flexibility to face this sensitive period more comfortably. The Group has no major debt maturity before 2023 and has, as of today, c. €1.1bn of liquidity in the form of two revolving credit lines for an undrawn amount of €900mn and c. €150mn in cash.
Since April, we have been observing a steady pick-up in activity and Hospitality is showing good progress overall in July. However, we feel we are not in a position to give any revenue guidance for 2020 given the uncertainties surrounding a pickup in Hospitality after the summer and the future consequences of the economic crisis.
Nevertheless, the impressive efforts made in H1 in all countries, at plants at head offices, make the group perfectly prepared to confront the coming 18 months. In 2020, Elis should be able to maintain EBITDA margin and free cash flow after lease payments at levels quite close to those achieved in 2019.
Although the current situation requires the utmost vigilance, we face the next months with serenity: The Group's fundamentals are strong, our diversification is a major advantage and our business model will enable Elis to assert its leadership in all the countries in which it is present."

H1 2020 organic revenue was down -20.5%. After a very good start to the year (+5.8% organic growth in January and +3.5% in February), our activity strongly suffered from the sanitary crisis and from the lockdown measures taken in March, April and May. Hospitality, a segment that represented approximately one-third of the country's revenue in 2019, was particularly affected and activity almost came to a standstill in March and April. Industry, Trade & Services posted a more moderate decrease. Healthcare was slightly down in H1: The good commercial dynamism was offset by a drop in patients in hospitals to make room for Covid-19 patients, implying lower linen rotation.
Despite the strong revenue decrease, EBITDA margin decline was limited to -120bps at 35.1%. This reflects the very significant cost cutting measures implemented in the country, including the complete shutdown of c. 30 plants during the confinement period. Such a complex task necessarily leads to a slight lag between the revenue decrease and the cost base reduction.
H1 2020 organic revenue was down -6.0%. In a region with very limited exposure to Hospitality, the beginning of the year was good and industrial activities showed good resilience. Topline decrease was therefore limited following the implementation of confinement measures, with organic decrease of between -15% and -20% in April and May depending on the country. Germany was down -5% in H1, with a decrease of c. -16% in April. The Netherlands were up +7% in H1 with Q2 close to +5%. Poland was flat in H1. Switzerland and Belgium, countries with a greater exposure to Hospitality, posted a higher contraction.
EBITDA margin was up +210bps at 32.1%. This improvement is mostly attributable to Germany where very significant cost savings have been achieved, along with notable productivity gains in plants.
H1 2020 organic revenue was down -7.1%. The fact that the greater portion of our clients operates in the Industry segment enabled to somewhat limit the decrease at c. -15% in April and c. -20% in May. Sweden, the largest contributor, posted a moderate -7% decrease in H1. Denmark registered a larger contraction (c. -11% in H1). Norway and Russia were up in H1. The Baltic countries were stable.
EBITDA margin was up +130bps at 39.1%. As in Central Europe, this increase was the consequence of the significant cost-cutting measures implemented by the Group, with a controlled revenue decrease. The Group also benefited from a slightly positive mix effect related to the slowdown of Hospitality, as this activity is slightly less profitable than the others in the region.
H1 2020 organic revenue was down -26.5%. After a slight increase in February, the situation deteriorated from March onwards with a drop of nearly -50% in April and May. Approximately one-third of revenue is in Hospitality, a segment that has virtually ground to a halt since the implementation of confinement measures in the second half of March. Industry and Trade & Services represent another third of total revenue and also decreased strongly. The Healthcare segment, accounting for the remaining third, was also down in H1, with a negative effect in March, April and May for the same reasons as in France (nonurgent medical care was postponed to make more room for Covid-19 patients).
EBITDA margin was down -250bps at 25.6%, resulting from the strong revenue decrease despite the significant cost base reduction from April onwards.
H1 2020 organic revenue decreased by -31.6% with a marked slowdown that started in March (c. -29%) down to nearly -60% in April and May. The geography is highly exposed to the Hospitality segment (more than 60% of total revenue in 2019) and suffered from the near-total interruption of hotel activity (administrative closure of hotels in Spain until May).
EBITDA margin was down -440bps at 25.6%, resulting from the strong revenue decrease despite the significant efforts made to reduce the cost base.
H1 2020 organic revenue was up +3.6%. The beginning of the year was very good with January and February at more than 9% growth. From March onwards, growth slowed down in Healthcare, with the same phenomenon we observed in France and the UK: Non-urgent medical care was postponed to make room for Covid-19 patients, implying lower activity in hospitals. April was therefore down c. -10% but activity rebounded in May and June, notably on the back of targeted commercial offers for hospitals.
EBITDA margin was up +530bps at 34.9%. This strong increase is attributable to the focus put on the cost base, and to the signing of very profitable, short-term contracts.

Percentage change calculations are based on actual figures.
*A reconciliation of net result and headline net result is provided in the section "From net result to headline net result" below.
As a percentage of revenue, EBIT was down -460bps in the first half, as a consequence of the slight increase of D&A combined with a sharp revenue decline over the period. Depreciation of non-linen assets represented c. 40% of total D&A and was up c. 10% yoy, as a consequence of the finalization, in 2019, of the capex program dedicated to Berendsen. Linen deprecitaion (c. 60% of total) quickly reflect the evolution of activity and has been decreasing since June.
The main items between EBIT and operating income are as follows:
The financial result was -€45.5mn compared to -€73.4mn last year. This lower financial charge is due to the lower cost of debt following the 2019 refinancing and to the high H1 2019 base, which notably included some exceptional costs related to this refinancing.
Net result was -€21.0mn in the first half, decreasing vs last year. This decrease reflects the drop in Current operating income, and the higher amount of non-current operating expenses.

In the first half, the Group's capital expenditures (excluding acquisitions of subsidiaries) represented 17.2% of revenue vs 20.1% in H1 2019. This reflects the finalization of the capex program dedicated to Berendsen (completed at the end of 2019) and lower linen investments in H1 in a context of lower client activity.
In the first half, the change in operating working capital requirement was stable, notably due to the strong focus on cash collection. Central inventories were up because of lower linen consumption in the plants, and the lower activity led to lower trade receivables and trade payables.
In H1 2019, the Group's net interest paid are at -€50.5mn compared to -€63.4mn in H1 2019, reflecting the high base last year and a lower cost of debt following the 2019 refinancing.
Free cash-flow after lease liabilities payments reached €56.1mn, up more than +€75mn yoy. This improvement is due to the decrease in capex, to the positive effect from change in working capital requirement, to the lower net interest paid and tax paid.
As announced on March 31st, there will be no pay-out in 2020 for the 2019 financial year in order to further strengthen the Group's liquidity in a context of global sanitary crisis.
The Group's net financial debt at June 30, 2020 stood at €3,361.7mn compared to €3,372.1mn at December 31, 2019 and €3,529.4mn at June 30, 2019, i.e. a €168mn net debt decrease over the last 12 months.
Total Net Leverage Ratio was 3.5x as of June 30, 2020, stable compared to June 30, 2019.
