Directors' report

Covid-19 emergency

The emergency still ongoing and the spread of the "crown virus" infection, which has affected almost all world markets, has forced governments to issue multiple and diversified measures aimed at limiting citizens' mobility and the operation of companies, with different measures in reference to the various economic sectors.

The effects of the pandemic on consumption are developing in the various areas of the economy with uneven effects: the risk of a lasting recession in many sectors is real, with the difficulty of making recovery assessments in the medium and long term, given the situation of uncertainty and strongly evolving, both in terms of health, regulations and variability of demand.

As a result of this situation, consequences on the Group's results are already manifesting, Management believes that to date there are no conditions for formalizing medium-long industrial plans in consideration of the continuous evolution of the scenario linked to the health emergency; consequently, the impairment test procedures were not activated when preparing this interim financial report for the purpose of assessing the recoverability of goodwill and intangible assets.

The Group companies are currently all operating: some have temporarily used the social safety nets instrument and, only in a few limited cases and for limited periods, have resorted to the blocking of production and logistics activities. In addition, the Group has activated itself with the aim of monitoring the evolution of the situation and promptly adopting the necessary measures to safeguard the health and safety of its employees, such as the use of smart working, the adoption of distance measures between people and the distribution of personal protective equipments.

All the Group's operating companies have set up ad hoc committees for emergency management, with the aim of implementing the requirements in terms of workplace safety regulations in the most effective way, as well as activities for the management of business risks emerging from the contingent situation, with the aim of limiting its impact on human resources, operating results and the financial balance of the Group.

In particular, the Group has focused on liquidity risk management, which consists in the ability to find the resources necessary for operations, applying the following strategies:

  • Maintaining appropriate amounts of credit lines;
  • Access to new loans;
  • Request for suspension of the installments relating to the loans in place with the banking system, expiring in 2020;
  • Increase in controls to monitor the solvency of the counterparties and compliance with the contractual terms of collection;
  • Reduction of operating costs;
  • Remodeling of the investment plan.

Management believes that the application of these strategies will allow the group to manage short-term cash needs.

Finally, it is not excluded that the impact of the pandemic in progress may lead to an imbalance between short and long-term debt, a decrease in revenues and economic results, compared to the previous year, and expose the Group to risk of non-compliance with the Covenants relating to loans.

It should also be noted that the Group does not hold significant financial assets measured at fair value.

With respect to the foreseeable business outlook, please refer to the specific chapter of this report.

Scope of consolidation

Compared to 31 December 2019, the company Markusson Professional Grinders AB joined the consolidation area, of which the subsidiary Tecomec S.r.l. acquired 51% on January 31, 2020.

The consolidated financial statements at 31 March 2019 included the company Geoline Electronic S.r.l., which was subject to a total spin-off on November 30, 2019.

Comments on economic figures

Revenues from sales

Emak Group achieved a consolidated turnover of € 117,967 thousand in the first quarter of 2020, compared to € 122,357 thousand of last year, a 3.6% decrease. This decrease is due to the negative exchange rate effect by 0.3% and an organic decrease of 3.6%, only partially offset by an increase of 0.3% deriving from the change in the consolidation area.

EBITDA

EBITDA for the first quarter 2020 amounts to € 13,923 thousand (11.8% of sales), compared to € 14,146 thousand (11.6% of sales) for the corresponding quarter of the previous year.

During the quarter, non-ordinary expenses for € 104 thousand were recorded compared to € 281 thousand in the first quarter 2019.

EBITDA before non-ordinary expenses amounts to € 14,027 thousand (11.9% of revenues) compared to € 14,427 thousand in the first quarter 2019 (11.8% of revenues).

The application of the IFRS 16 principle has resulted in a positive effect on the EBITDA for € 1,575 thousand, against to € 1,361 thousand in the first quarter of 2019.

The result for the quarter was negatively impacted by the drop in sales volumes (following the spread of the Covid-19 virus and the resulting operating restrictions) and benefited from a positive mix and a containment of operating costs.

The number of resources average employed by the Group was 2,158, compared to 2,133 in the first quarter of 2019. Personnel costs decreased compared to the same period, mainly following the use of the social safety net activated for the Covid-19 emergency.

EBIT

EBIT for the first quarter 2020 is € 8,375 thousand with an incidence of 7.1% of revenues, compared to € 9,026 thousand (7.4% of sales) for the corresponding quarter of the previous year.

Depreciation and amortization are € 5,548 thousand, compared to € 5,120 thousand in the same period of the previous year.

Non-annualized EBIT as a percentage of net capital employed is 2.1% compared to 2.4% of the same period of the previous year.

Net profit

Net profit for the first quarter 2020 is € 3,833 thousand, against € 6,088 thousand for the same quarter of the previous year.

Currency management in the first quarter 2020 is negative for € 1,689 thousand, compared to a positive balance of € 630 thousand for the same period of the last year. In the quarter, exchange rate management was mainly affected by the negative trend of South American currencies, which led to the recording of significant losses due to the adjustment of local debts in other currencies at the end of the period.

The tax rate amounted to 30.9% in the first quarter 2020, compared to 27.8% in the same period of last year. The increase in the tax impact derives mainly from the missed allocation, as a prudential measure, of deferred tax assets on tax losses recorded by some Group companies.

Sales on the European market recorded a general decline, with peaks in the countries affected first and more vigorously by the lock-downs following the spread of the COVID-19 virus.

In the Americas area, sales were affected by the drop recorded in Latin American countries, while on the North American market they were substantially in line with the same period of the previous year.

In the Asia, Africa and Oceania area, the good performance on the Turkish market, hit only at a later stage by the effects of the pandemic, more than compensated for the delay in sales in the Far East countries, which were first affected by the limitations linked to the sanitary emergency.

EBITDA for the period was impacted by the drop in sales and a negative product / country mix. These effects were only partially mitigated by the reduction in personnel costs, consequent to the reduction in production volumes, and in operating costs, following the initiatives promptly put in place to counter the negative effects due to COVID-19. The result for the period includes non-recurring charges for an amount of € 44 thousand (€ 50 thousand in the same period of 2019).

Net financial position increased compared to 31 December 2019 due to the increase in net working capital during the quarter, in line with the seasonality of the business.

Pompe e High Pressure Water Jetting

Sales in Europe decreased significantly due to the strong contraction of the cleaning products market which was affected by the closure of almost all the points of sale of the large distribution stores starting from the end of February, with consequent cancellations and postponements of orders.

Sales in the Americas area registered a positive trend thanks to the excellent performances of the subsidiaries in the USA, Mexico and Brazil also thanks to the lower negative impact of the health emergency during the quarter compared to other areas.

The drop in sales in the Asia, Africa and Oceania area was mainly caused by the prolonged lock-downs and significant slowdowns in economic activity following the COVID-19 emergency. The closure of the Chinese factory from mid-January to the end of February (whose production capacity only gradually became fully operational towards the end of the quarter) severely affected sales in the Far East and the Middle East, areas which were heavily contracted by government restrictions.

The drop in EBITDA is attributable to lower sales volumes, an unfavorable product / customer mix, and in part to the strong pressure on prices, in particular by large retailers.

The increase in the net financial position compared to the end of 2019 is due to the increase in net working capital during the quarter, in line with the seasonality of the business.

Components and Accessories

In Europe, the growth recorded for gardening and cleaning products on the main continental markets did not compensate for the generalized delay recorded on the Italian market.

In the Americas area, there was a strong increase in sales on the North American market with a good performance of products for gardening, forestry and agriculture activities, against a reduction in consumer cleaning products. The positive trend of the South American subsidiaries on the reference markets also continues.

In the Asia, Africa and Oceania area, the drop is mainly attributable to the change in the distribution model towards some customers, and to a lesser extent to the lower sales in some Far East markets.

EBITDA in the first quarter of 2020 benefited from the increase in sales, a favorable product mix and a reduction in the prices of raw materials, against a slight increase in personnel costs due to higher production volumes and the need for flexibility in order to meet with the variability of demand. During the period, non-ordinary charges were accounted for € 60 thousand (€ 231 thousand in the same period of 2019).

The increase in the net financial position compared to the end of 2019 is due to the increase in net working capital during the quarter linked to the seasonality of sales and the financial investment for the purchase of Markusson.

Business outlook

After a positive start in the first two months of the year, the effects of the pandemic starting from the month of March impacted on demand in our sector, leading to a 3.6% decline in turnover for the Group in the first quarter.

After the end of the quarter, it should be noted the progressive adoption of increasingly restrictive measures, which led many countries around the world to enter into lockdown.

In response to this situation, the Group adopted a timely action plan starting from March with the establishment of Covid Committees in all companies to monitor the evolution of the health emergency with the great attention, ensure health and safety of its collaborators in line with the measures adopted by the government authorities of the various countries, and at the same time mitigating the economic-financial impact.

Starting from May, the Group companies are all operational. Order entry in the first days of May is on the upswing. The scenario, at present, remains conditioned by the changing conditions due to the continuous evolution of the health emergency.

The outlook for the year therefore remains uncertain and difficult to quantify: much will depend on the times and ways in which the different countries will recovery from the emergency and the activities will return to normal.

Subsequent events

There are no significant events other than those already described in other chapters relating to the ongoing activities for the management of the Covid 19 pandemic.

Comments on the financial statements

The interim report has been prepared under disclosure continuity, comparability, international best practice and transparency to the market. Despite the lack of legal obligation, the Board of Directors of Emak S.p.A. has in fact decided, also because of his membership in the STAR segment of the MTA, to continue in drafting and systematic publication of quarterly reports, in compliance with art. 2.2.3, paragraph 3, letter. a) of the Regulation of Markets organized and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A. The reports are made available to the public in the usual forms of deposit at the registered office, the company website and the "eMarket Storage" storage mechanism.

In relation to the above, it is confirmed that the accounting principles and policies adopted by the Group in preparing the quarterly consolidated financial statements are consistent with those adopted in the consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2019, with the peculiarities shown below.

In this interim report IAS 19 is not applied as far as the quantification of changes in actuarial gains accrued in the period is concerned. In addition, in the context of disclosure of synthetic and essential character, are not observed all the detailed requirements of IAS 34, whenever it is assessed that its application does not bring meaningful information.

It should be noted that:

  • when it has not been possible to obtain invoices from suppliers for the provision of consulting and other services, a reasonable estimate of these costs has been made on the basis of the stage of completion of the work;
  • current and deferred taxes have been calculated using the tax rates applied in the current year in the individual countries of operation;
  • the quarterly report is not subject to audit;
  • all amounts are expressed in thousands of euros, unless otherwise specified.

Acquisition of 51% of Swedish company Markusson Professional Grinders AB

On January 31, 2020, the controlled company Tecomec S.r.l. completed the purchase of 51% of the share capital of the Swedish company Markusson Professional Grinders AB, active in the development and marketing of professional sharpeners for chainsaw chains.

The transaction is part of the Group's external growth strategy through the expansion and completion of its product range, in the specific case of the Components and Accessories segment.

The consideration paid for the acquisition of 51% amounts to SEK 17.8 million (equal to approximately € 1.7 million). The agreements that regulate the operation also provide for a Put & Call Option on the remaining 49% to be

exercised in 2023 which led to a registration of approximately € 2.3 million. The company develops a turnover of approximately € 2 million and an EBITDA of approximately € 0.5 million.
