Business development

This quarterly release as of 30 September 2017 covers the period from 1 January to 30 September 2017 ( -month period of 2017 or 9M 2017 ). Unless stated otherwise, the comparative figures pertain to the respective same period of the previous year. Furthermore, selected comparative figures presented as percentages may refer to the QoQ ) or the nine-month period comparison ("9Mo9M").

Revenue in the third quarter of 2017 was EUR 20.2 million or 9.4% higher than in the comparative period of the previous year (Q3 2016: EUR 18.5 million). Overall, the significant increase in revenue was realised in the sales region Germany (+20.7%), which grew significantly compared to the same period of the previous year. Revenue in Italy rose by +6.4% in the third quarter of 2017 and, thus, was for the second consecutive quarter higher compared to the comparative period of the previous year. Measures such as new show formats and stronger brand presentation showed corresponding effects. In the United Kingdom, revenue declined by -34.3% as expected. Fortunately, revenue increased slightly by EUR 1.7 million to EUR 2.1 million compared to the previous quarter. Nevertheless, the gross profit margins remain under strong pressure in the United Kingdom.

The TV business showed a slightly positive revenue development with a 2.0% increase compared to the same quarter of the previous year. This growth can be attributed in particular to shows on German TV that featured high-priced articles, which were not shown in this form in the third quarter of 2016. eCommerce revenue rose by 18.9% to EUR 7.2 million in the third quarter of 2017 and thus generated a 35.6% share of revenue (Q3 2016: 32.7%). Revenue from the classic web shop business rose by 19.5% in the European sales region in the nine-month period of 2017 compared to the same period of the previous year. Revenue from B2B business was mainly generated from cooperations with TV stations in the USA.

The gross profit margin of 42.1% of revenue in the third quarter of 2017 was slightly below the level of the comparative period of the previous year (43.5%). This was mainly caused by three factors:

  • a strong sell-off in the UK in the month of August,
  • a higher revenue share of high-priced third-party merchandise and
  • revenue from B2B business.

The key performance indicator, total segment EBITDA, improved to EUR 0.2 million in the third quarter of 2017 compared to EUR -1.5 million in the comparative period of the previous year. In the ninemonth period, total segment EBITDA rose from EUR -5.2 million in the first nine months of 2016 to EUR -2.1 million in the first nine months of 2017. Key drivers for this positive overall development included the development of costs as well as the revenue increases, particularly in Germany. Selling and administrative expenses adjusted for segment reconciliation items declined from a total EUR 30.3 million in the first nine months of 2016 by EUR 3.6 million to EUR 26.7 million in the first nine months of 2017 (including other operating income from direct costs invoiced to third parties). This corresponds to a reduction of -12.0% and was due to extensive cost-cutting measures in all operational areas.

Earnings development in the third quarter of 2017

In the third quarter of 2017, a total comprehensive income (earnings for the period plus other comprehensive income) of EUR -0.8 million was achieved after EUR -2.4 million in the third quarter of 2016 and of EUR -5.2 million in the first nine months of 2017 (9M 2016: EUR -8.6 million). Other comprehensive income solely comprises differences from foreign currency translation of foreign subsidiaries.

In addition, there were no special events or transactions that had a material impact on the earnings, assets and financial position of the elumeo Group in the third quarter of 2017.

Explanations on the individual financial figures are provided in the following sections.

Earnings, assets and financial position

As a consequence of the referendum on the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European (GBP) depreciated against the euro (EUR), the functional currency of the elumeo Group, as well as against the other main foreign currencies US dollar (USD) and Thai baht (THB), which play a key role in production-side procurement.

The translation of income and expenses in the income statement of the subsidiaries in the United Kingdom with the weighted average exchange rate of the reporting period had an impact on the earnings position and the period comparison disclosed. Furthermore, the translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies using the closing rate as of the balance sheet date, in particular also with respect to the subsequent assessment of intra-Group receivables and liabilities, resulted in shifts in the presentation of the earnings, assets and financial position.

(3.) Gross profit from product sales by distribution channel

Gross profit from TV revenue declined slightly to EUR 5.0 million in the third quarter of 2017 compared to EUR 5.2 million in the comparative period of the previous year. A similar development was also observed from the nine-month period with a -7.8% decline from EUR 15.6 million in the first nine months of 2016 to EUR 14.4 million in the first nine months of 2017. This was largely attributable to the margins development in the United Kingdom.

Gross profit from eCommerce revenue increased by 14.9% from EUR 2.5 million in the third quarter of 2016 to EUR 2.9 million in the third quarter of 2017. Gross profit for the nine-month period rose from EUR 7.4 million in the first nine months of 2016 to EUR 7.8 million in the first nine months of 2017. As opposed to the TV business, eCommerce business in the United Kingdom has very limited impact on the gross profit due to its significantly lower share of revenue in total eCommerce revenue.

Gross profit from B2B revenue amounted to EUR 0.6 million in the third quarter of 2017 compared to EUR 0.3 million in the third quarter of 2016.

(4.) Selling expenses

At EUR 6.1 million in the third quarter of 2017, selling expenses were significantly lower than in the third quarter of 2016 (EUR 7.3 million). In line with the stronger focus on the eCommerce business, there was an increase in marketing costs, which essentially comprise costs for online marketing and other operating expenses of the web shops. On the other hand, TV broadcasting and channel rental costs declined. This mainly resulted from the restructuring of the TV distribution contracts in the United Kingdom. With respect to the nine-month period, a significant reduction by -12.4% from EUR 21.9 million in the first nine months of 2016 to EUR 19.2 million in the first nine months of 2017 was achieved.

At EUR 8.2 million in the first nine months of 2017, administrative expenses were down by -29.7% compared to EUR 11.6 million in the first nine months of 2016. With respect to the third quarter of 2017, they were EUR 2.7 million or -26.8% lower than in the third quarter of 2016 (EUR 3.7 million). The main reason for this positive development in costs are lower personnel expenses. Adjusted for net losses from foreign currency translation and share-based remuneration, administrative expenses in the third quarter of 2017 were -6.6% lower than in the same period of the previous year.

Other administrative expenses in the third quarter of 2017 also include expenses directly attributable and rechargeable to non-Group third parties, which are contrasted by other operating income in the same amount.

In addition to the personnel expenses reported under selling and administrative expenses, personnel expenses include the personnel costs of the factory. Personnel expenses of the elumeo Group (excluding share-based remuneration) decreased by a total of -2.5% in the nine-month period compared to the same period of the previous year.

(7.) Other operating income

In the third quarter of 2017, other operating income of EUR 0.5 million (Q3 2016: EUR 0.2 million) mainly comprised income from recharging administrative and selling expenses to non-Group third parties as well as net income from foreign currency translation in the amount of EUR 0.4 million (Q3 2016: EUR 0.0 million).

In financial years 2015 and 2016 and in the nine-month period of 2017, the Executive Board issued option rights to purchase shares of elumeo SE from a total of four tranches from the Stock Option Program of each tranche after completion of the vesting period is linked to capital market-based performance targets.

The performance targets of the four tranches issued were not met as of the balance sheet date. The potential shares are therefore not to be included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share, irrespective of any pro rata vesting.

As a result, diluted earnings per share correspond to basic earnings per share.

(9.) Notes to the segment reporting

Total segment EBITDA in the first nine months of 2017 was EUR -2.1 million (9M 2016: EUR -5.2 million) and thus higher than in the comparative period of the previous year. In the third quarter of 2017, positive total segment EBITDA of EUR 0.2 million was achieved compared to a loss of EUR -1.5 million in the same quarter of 2016. In the 2017 reporting period, the segment reconciliation items eliminated in determining segment EBITDA mainly comprised share-based remuneration and net gains from foreign currency translation of EUR 0.6 million in the first nine months of 2017 and EUR 0.4 million in the third quarter of 2017 (9M 2016: EUR -2.6 million, Q3 2016: EUR -0.7 million).

Segment Sales division Germany & Italy

In the segment Sales division Germany & Italy, revenues of EUR 16.1 million were generated in the third quarter of 2017 (Q3 2016: EUR 13.6 million). This amounts to approx. 79.5% of the total revenue of the elumeo Group (Q3 2016: approx. 73.5%). In the third quarter of 2017, gross profit amounted to EUR 7.0 million (Q3 2016: EUR 5.8 million), as a result of which the Sales division Germany & Italy recorded an increase in gross profit margin to 43.8% in the third quarter of 2017 (Q3 2016: 42.9%). At EUR 0.8 million in the third quarter of 2017, segment EBITDA was above the level of EUR -0.6 million for the third quarter of 2016. In the first nine months of 2017, the increase in segment EBITDA also amounted to a significant EUR 2.6 million or 105.1% compared to a total of EUR -2.5 million in the first nine months of 2016. This corresponds to a positive segment EBITDA margin of 4.9% in Q3 2017 (Q3 2016: -4.7%).

Segment Sales division Others (UK, Asia, USA)

At EUR 4.1 million, revenues of the segment Sales division Others were down compared to the same period of the previous year (Q3 2016: EUR 4.9 million). The revenues from B2B transactions are allocated to this segment. Segment revenues represent a share of approx. 20.5% of the total revenue of the elumeo Group (Q3 2016: approx. 26.5%). Overall, gross profit in the third quarter of 2017 amounted to EUR 0.8 million (Q3 2016: EUR 1.6 million). This significant reduction resulted from a generally weak gross profit margin in the United Kingdom and a sell-off in August at much lower margins. B2B revenue of EUR 2.0 million in the third quarter of 2017 (Q3 2016: EUR 1.7 million) consists mainly of revenue from US TV stations. Segment EBITDA was EUR -0.4 million in the third quarter of 2017 (Q3 2016: EUR -0.7 million). The reduction in the loss despite the lower gross profit is also due to cost reductions. The segment EBITDA margin was thus -10.2% in the third quarter of 2017 compared to -13.4% in the third quarter of 2016 (9M 2017: -18.2%, 9M 2016 -16.2%).

Segment Group functions & eliminations

In the third quarter of 2017, gross profit of EUR 0.6 million was allocated to the segment to cover for the administrative and financing costs of production (Q3 2016: EUR 0.6 million) or EUR 1.9 million in the first nine months of 2017 (9M 2016: EUR 1.8 million) and was therefore not attributed to the segments Sales divisions Germany & Italy and Others.

(10.) Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment

In the first nine months of 2017, investments were limited to minor replacement investments.

(11.) Inventories

Inventories decreased by -5.3% to EUR 36.9 million as of 30 September 2017 (31 December 2016: EUR 38.9 million). The gemstone stock attributable to raw materials, consumables and supplies declined disproportionately higher.

(12.) Equity

Issued capital

The issued capital of elumeo SE as of 30 September 2017 totalled EUR 5,500,000 (31 December 2016: EUR 5,500,000) and is divided into 5,500,000 no-par-value bearer shares with a notional share in the issued capital of EUR 1.00 per share.

There were no changes compared to the figures as of 31 December 2016.

Capital reserve

The capital reserve of elumeo SE as of 30 September 2017 amounted to EUR 34.1 million and thus increased compared to 31 December 2016 (EUR 33.9 million) due to equity-settled share-based remuneration commitments in accordance with IFRS 2.

Authorised Capital, Conditional Capital, convertible bonds and bonds with warrants

There were no changes compared to the disclosures as of 31 December 2016.

Share-based remuneration

As of 30 August 2017, the Executive Board issued from the SOP 2015 a further 8,000 option rights to subscribe to 8,000 shares of elumeo SE with a pro rata amount of the issued capital of EUR 8,000.00 ("Tranche IV/2015"). The exercise price to be paid is uniformly EUR 7.72.

Taking into account the option rights newly issued in Q3 2017, the number of option rights issued from the four tranches as of 30 September 2017 totalled 253,065 (30 September 2016: 263,500). The weighted average remaining term of the outstanding option rights until the expiration date is approximately 8.30 years as of 30 September 2017 (30 September 2016: 9.30 years). The average exercise price as of the balance sheet date of 30 September 2017 was EUR 15.09 (30 September 2016: EUR 15.72). As of the balance sheet date, no option rights are exercisable.

Expenses totalling EUR 0.3 million in the first nine months of 2017 and EUR 0.1 million in the third quarter of 2017 were incurred for share-based remuneration commitments for the four tranches (9M 2016: EUR 0.4 million and Q3 2016: EUR 0.2 million).

In addition, there were no changes compared to the figures disclosed as of 31 December 2016.

(13.) Deferred taxes

Deferred taxes arise from differences between the carrying amount recognised under IFRS and the carrying amount recognised for tax purposes as well as on tax loss carryforwards, provided that their recoverability is sufficiently certain in the near future. Deferred tax assets as of 30 September 2017 and 31 December 2016 are attributable solely to the elimination of intercompany profits included in inventories.

(14.) Notes to the consolidated statement of cash flows

The consolidated statement of cash flows was prepared in compliance with IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flow and shows the changes in the cash and cash equivalents of the elumeo Group due to inflows and outflows during the reporting period under review.

The inflows and outflows from operating activities are derived indirectly based on earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT). The inflows and outflows from investing and financing activities are determined directly. The cash and cash equivalents comprise the unrestricted cash on hand and bank account balances. Current account credits used as short-term financing instruments are included as negative components in the financial funds.

In 9M 2017, the net cash inflow from operating activities, in addition to the significantly improved EBIT of EUR -3.0 million (9M 2016: EUR -9.5 million), includes a decrease in provisions of EUR -0.3 million (9M 2016: EUR +0.2 million), payments for interest expenses of EUR -0.5 million (9M 2016: EUR -0.7 million) and an increase in other assets of EUR -1.4 million (9M 2016: EUR -2.1 million). In addition, non-cash income/expenses and items in the amount of EUR -1.5 million (9M 2016: EUR +1.6 million) were recognised. Cash outflows were offset by depreciation and amortisation on fixed assets of EUR +1.3 million (9M 2016: EUR +1.3 million) and a decrease in inventories of EUR +2.1 million (9M 2016: EUR -2.1 million). In addition, other liabilities increased by EUR +3.8 million (9M 2016: EUR +1.4 million) due to the balance sheet date. Overall, cash flow from operating activities in 9M 2017 was EUR +0.6 million, after EUR -9.6 million in 9M 2016.

Cash flow from investing activities amounted to EUR -0.2 million in 9M 2017 (9M 2016: EUR -1.0 million). This mainly consists of payments for the acquisition of fixed tangible assets in the amount of EUR -0.2 million (9M 2016: EUR -0.9 million).

The cash flow from financing activities mainly consists of proceeds from the borrowing of financial debt in the amount of EUR +2.3 million (9M 2016: EUR +1.9 million) and payments from the redemption of financial debt of EUR -3.0 million (30 September 2016: EUR -2.6 million).

As of the balance sheet date, financial funds comprise positive components in the form of unrestricted cash at hand and bank account balances of EUR 1.8 million (31 December 2016: EUR 1.8 million) and negative components in the form of current account bank overdrafts of EUR -0.5 million (31 December 2016: EUR -0.3 million). In addition, EUR 0.4 million in unused credit lines were available as of the balance sheet date.

Supplementary report

There were no major events between the balance sheet date and the date of publication of this quarterly release which would require a supplementary report.

Risk and opportunity report

The elumeo Group comprehensively describes its risk management system in the Annual Report 2016. Compared to the risks and opportunities comprehensively presented herein, there are no significant changes discernible to the Executive Board at present.

Forecast report

For the segment Sales division Germany & Italy, management is striving to increase revenue by a low double-digit percentage in 2017. Overall, gross profit is expected to develop slightly disproportionately lower. The reason for this will be a higher proportion of classic web shop business as well as a higher proportion of high-priced third-party products with overall slightly lower percentage margins. In conjunction with cost reductions, particularly in the areas of personnel expenses and broadcasting and channel rental costs, the goal is to achieve positive segment EBITDA in the low single-digit million range for financial year 2017.

In 2017, a significant decline in revenue is expected in the segment Sales division Others. This will result from the adjusted TV distribution coverage in the United Kingdom. Revenue from B2B business is planned to be slightly above the previous year s level. As a result of the restructuring of its business activities in the United Kingdom, elumeo SE expects a significantly reduced cost base in this segment. All in all, we expect significantly improved segment EBITDA for this segment in financial year 2017.

In the segment Group functions & eliminations (no revenues), negative segment EBITDA in the low single-digit million range is expected for 2017.

For the Group as a whole, we expect slight revenue growth for the total year 2017 with a stable gross profit margin. At the same time, a significant reduction in cumulative selling, general and administrative expenses was achieved. Savings have already been achieved, especially in the area of broadcasting and channel rental costs and personnel expenses. Following the successful restructuring, the elumeo Group plans to achieve slightly positive segment EBITDA in the final quarter of 2017.

In order to be able to guarantee the solvency of the Group at all times, inventories were reduced accordingly in 2017. Further reductions, especially of raw materials, consumables and supplies, are planned. If the profitability of the elumeo Group cannot be increased and an improvement in working capital cannot be achieved, this could jeopardize the ability of the elumeo Group to pay at all times. The highest priority of the elumeo Group therefore continues to be increasing profitability while improving liquidity.
