(*) Gross profit is the difference between revenues from sales of goods and services and use of raw materials.
(**) EBITDA, an intermediate figure, is earnings before amortisation, depreciation and impairment of non-current assets, financial income and expenses, the valuations of affiliates at equity and of income taxes for the period. This is a measure used by the Group to monitor and assess operating performance. Since the composition of EBITDA is not regulated by the reference accounting standards, the calculation criterion applied by the Group may not be consistent with that used by other companies and would therefore not be comparable.

The interim management statement of the Eurotech Group as at 31 March 2021, which has not been independently audited, and the statements for comparative periods were drawn up according to the IASs/IFRSs issued by the International Accounting Board and endorsed by the European Union.
The Group's results as at 31 March 2021 and comparable periods were prepared according to the IASs/IFRSs in force on the date of preparation and the statements drawn up according to Annex 3D of the Italian Issuers' Regulation no. 11971 of 14 May 1999, as amended and supplemented.
The consolidated financial statements were drafted on the basis of financial statements as at 31 March 2021 prepared by the consolidated companies and adjusted, where necessary, to align them with the Group's IFRS-compliant accounting and classification policies.
The assessment and accounting policies and consolidation methods used to prepare the Consolidated Quarterly Report are consistent with those used in the Group Consolidated Annual Financial Report as at 31 December 2020, to which we expressly invite readers to refer, except for the adoption of new standards, amendments and interpretations in force as at 1 January 2021.
Taxes have been calculated based on the current best possible estimates. According to the criterion used for translation into Euro of accounts expressed in different currencies, statement of financial position items are translated at the exchange rate in effect on the final day of the accounting period, and income statement items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. Differences arising from translation of the statement of financial position and income statements are posted to a Shareholders' Equity reserve.
Unless otherwise specified, the financial statements, tables and explanatory notes are expressed in thousands of Euro.
In accordance with Consob requirements, Income Statement figures are shown for the quarter under review and are compared with data for the same period in the previous financial year (FY). Restated
Balance Sheet figures, which refer to the closing date of the quarter, are compared with the closing date of the previous FY. The format of the financial statements is the same as that used in the Half-Yearly Report and in the Annual Financial Statements.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The preparation of the financial statements and the related notes to the accounts required the use of estimates and assumptions, with particular reference to provisions for write-downs and risk reserves. Estimates are revised periodically, and any adjustment, following changes in the circumstances on which the estimate was based or in light of new information, is booked in the income statement. The use of estimates is an essential part of preparing the accounting statements and is not prejudicial to their overall reliability.
This document presents some alternative performance indicators to allow for better evaluation of the Group's economic and financial performance. These are as follows:
Revenues trend in the first quarter of 2021 was weak, in line with the last three quarters of 2020 and with the forecasts made at the beginning of the year by Management.
On the order front, however, we are seeing an acceleration in order intake, particularly in the US area. Despite this growth in the backlog and a positive recovery trend, the current results of the Group in the first quarter are impacted by a couple of factors that occurred at the beginning of the 2020 Covid-19 health emergency and both linked to decisions to optimise costs and re-prioritise the activities by some of our customers, specifically the cancellation of a couple of HPEC programs and the postponement of various proofs of concepts that should have led to design-wins in 2021.
With fewer standard products to sell through indirect channels, we benefited less than other peers from the economic recovery. However, we are seeing a significant growth of POCs (Proof Of Concept) in the Industrial IoT market thanks also to an intensification of collaboration and certification activities with our Partners.
The quarter was significantly affected by the lack of volumes and turnover for the reasons mentioned above and by non-recurring costs that had an impact of €1.07 million on the operating result.
In terms of the balance sheet, management's actions have made it possible to optimize working capital, which has been reduced by € 4.51 million compared to December 31, 2020, reaching its lowest level in the last five years at € 11.31 million and consequently generating operating cash flows of € 2.61 million and improving the net financial position by more than € 1.7 million compared to year-end 2020, creating an additional incentive to accelerate M&A-type activities.
Group Revenues in the first three months of 2021 amounted, in fact, to €12.88 million compared to €19.75 million in the first three months of 2020, a decrease of 30.7% at constant exchange rates and 34.8% at historical exchange rates. Considering the weight of the first three months as a percentage of the total annual turnover, historically the first quarter of the year cannot be considered representative of the performance of the whole year.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
With reference to the localisation of the Group activities, the highest turnover in the quarter was generated in North America, accounting for 39.5% of the total (first quarter of 2020: 46.9%), followed by Japan with 35.0% (30.3% in the first quarter of 2020), while Europe covers the remaining 25.5% (22.8% in the first quarter of 2020).
A moderate recovery in orders in the first quarter of 2021, in particular in the US market, and the possibility of seizing some important opportunities both in terms of volumes and of customer significance in the coming quarters suggest that there could be a recovery in turnover starting from the second half of the year despite the fact that the supply chain risk coming from the shortage of electronic components may result in lower-than-expected production.
The first margin of the quarter under review in terms of percentage of turnover stood at 50.0%. The percentage is in line with the budget and also with that shown in the first quarter of 2020 (percentage of turnover of 49.9%). In absolute terms, the first margin stood at €6.44 million and was related to the trend in turnover.
In the three months under review, operating costs gross of adjustments and net of non-recurring costs amounted to €7.94 million, down by 8.7% compared to €8.70 million in the first quarter of 2020 (at constant exchange rates, the reduction stood at 5%).
The reduction in gross operating costs, as indicated above, for a total of €0.74 million is attributable for €0.33 million to the exchange rate effect due to an appreciation of the Euro against USD and Yen and for the remaining €0.41 million to lower travel costs in the first quarter of 2021 compared to those incurred in 2020, as well as further savings in variable costs arising from the lower turnover.
In detail, personnel costs had the greatest impact on the amount of operating costs. They stood at €4.98 million, a slight decrease of 1.5% compared to the previous year if considered at constant exchange rates (-5.6% at historical exchange rates). By virtue of the fabless model adopted, operating costs are substantially fixed and the turnover trend is the fundamental variable for the activation of the operating leverage. The percentage of gross operating costs net of non-recurring costs on revenues stood at 61.7% compared to 44.0% in the first quarter of 2020. This percentage, standing at 70%, becomes even higher if non-recurring costs are being considered.
Non-recurring costs, represented in the income statement of the first quarter of 2021 alone, amounted to €1.066 thousand and refer entirely to the economic agreement resulting from the conclusion of the relationship between the Company and the Chief Executive Officer Roberto Siagri, on 23 March, which was extensively described in a separate communication following the event.
Therefore, also considering these non-recurring costs, the operating costs would amount to a total of €9.01 million.
EBITDA ADJ, in the first three months, amounted to -€0.71 million (-5.5% of revenues) compared to €1.69 million in 2020 (8.6% of revenues), reflecting the trend in the first margin as well as in operating costs and other revenues. In consideration of non-recurring costs, EBITDA was therefore -€1.77 million.
EBIT ADJ, net of non-recurring costs, in the first three months of 2021 came to -€1.74 million (-13.8% of revenues), compared to €0.82 million in the first three months of 2020 (4.2% of revenues). In addition to the above, this performance also reflects the depreciation and amortisation recognised in the income statement in the first quarter of 2021, deriving from operating assets becoming subject to depreciation in the quarter. Operating result (EBIT), including non-recurring costs, amounted to -€2.84 million.
Finance expense was negative for €49 thousand in the first three months of 2021, while in the first three months of 2020 it was positive for €48 thousand. For greater detail, readers should refer to the comments made in Note "J".
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The Result before taxes during the three months of reference is negative for €2.89 million, while it was positive for €0.87 million in the first three months of 2020. The lower pre-tax result is directly due to the reduction in turnover.
In terms of Group net result, the tax burden on the Group's various units determined a loss of €2.93 million in the quarter (compared to a profit of €0.51 million in the first three months of 2020). In addition to reflecting changes in the pre-tax result, the trend derives from the overall different tax burden on the Group's companies and from the fact that no deferred tax assets were recognised on the estimated tax losses for the quarter.
The trend in operating performance can be seen in the restated consolidated income statement and is shown below, in both absolute amounts and percentage terms:

These figures take into account the application, as from 1 January 2019, of the new standard IFRS 16 "Leases", which establishes a new method for recognising lease contracts (Right of Use) which must be recognised under financial liabilities.
The improvement in the net financial position compared to 31 December 2020 was due to the reduction in net working capital, which made it possible to generate cash in the quarter despite the results for the period.
The Group's net working capital as at 31 March 2021, compared with the situation at 31 March 2020 and 31 December 2020, is as follows:

Revenues earned by the Group in the first quarter of 2021 amount to €12.88 million (€19.75 million in the first three months of 2020), a decrease of €6.87 million (34.8%) compared to the same period of last year. At constant exchange rates, the decrease would be 30.7%. The decrease mainly reflects the trend in order intake during the first half of 2020, which was decidedly lower than expected due to the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. During the entire year 2020, orders collected were lower than expected and this, based on the cycle of converting orders into revenue, had an impact on the 2021 turnover.
For operating purposes, the Group is organised in a single business line, also known as business segment, called "NanoPC".
Based on the criteria for monitoring activities currently used, a disclosure on a geographical basis is provided, in terms of the location of the Group's various companies.
The Group's geographical areas are defined according to the localisation of Group assets and operations. The areas identified within the Group are: Europe, North America and Asia.
As specifically regards the breakdown of revenues of the business units by geographical area, the same can be further detailed as follows:

All geographical areas experienced a reduction in the quarters under review.
The North American business area's revenues totalled €5.19 million in the first three months of 2021 compared with €9.36 million in the first three months of 2020, recording a decrease (-44.6% compared with 2020). The delay in the intake of orders in 2020 led to a reduction in turnover, which is expected to increase during the second half of the year due to the orders that the area has collected to date as a result of the recovery of the US economy.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The European business area also recorded a €1.16 million decrease in revenues, from €5.57 million in the first quarter of 2020 to €4.41 million in the first quarter of 2021. This reduction is due in particular to the lower turnover generated by one customer as the result of a Covid-related cancellation of a research project within the customer site which could not be replaced in the short term with other opportunities. This area continues to focus on opportunities in the transport sector, products linked to HPEC (High Performance Embedded Computer) technologies and the Industry 4.0 paradigm, which are expected to accelerate as a result of the funds made available at European level.
Finally, the Asian business area decreased by 26.2% from €6.13 million to €4.52 million, due to fluctuations in orders from its main local customers over the various quarters of the year.
With reference to the intake of orders in the first quarter of 2021 for the current year, the American area proved to be the most active one and therefore should show a recovery in the short term.
The following table shows the geographical breakdown of revenues based on customer location:
| (€' 000) | 1Q 2021 | % | 1Q 2020 | % | % change |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| BREAKDOWN BY GEOGRAPHIC AREA | |||||
| European Union | 2,316 | 18.0% | 3,510 | 17.8% | -34.0% |
| United States | 4,617 | 35.8% | 8,991 | 45.5% | -48.6% |
| Japan | 4,552 | 35.3% | 5,988 | 30.3% | -24.0% |
| Other | 1,395 | 10.8% | 1,263 | 6.4% | 10.5% |
| TOTAL SALES AND SERVICE REVENUES | 12,880 | 100.0% | 19,752 | 100.0% | -34.8% |
With reference to the breakdown by customer's geographical area reported in the table, revenues in the US decreased by 48.6% but the incidence on total turnover in the first three months of 2021 confirmed this to be the most important area, representing 35.8% of total revenues.
The Japan area was confirmed as the second most important area in terms of customers with 35.3% despite a decrease of 24.0% compared to the first quarter of 2020.
In Europe, again with reference to customer location, turnover decreased by 34.0%, maintaining a constant incidence on the total turnover, which in 2021 was 18.0%.
The other geographical areas made up the remaining 10.8% of total turnover, increasing both in terms of absolute value and in percentage terms compared to the first three months of 2020.
Costs of raw & auxiliary materials and consumables used, which relate strictly to turnover, fell from €9.89 million in the first three months of 2020 to €6.44 million in the first three months of 2021. In the period under review there was thus a variation of €3.44 million (34.8%), in line with the decrease of turnover. The operating margin of the 2021 first quarter, in percentage, was the same as in the first quarter of 2020. The mix of products sold was therefore in line with that sold in the quarter of the previous year.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As a percentage of revenues, consumption of raw & auxiliary materials and consumables stood at 50.0% in the first three months of 2021 compared to 50.1% in the first three months of 2020.
Net of non-recurring costs, the costs for services showed a reduction of €0.54 million, or 17.5%, from €3.11 million to €2.57 million and the percentage on revenues increased from 15.8% in the first three months of 2020 to 19.9% in the first three months of 2021.
The increase in costs for services was determined by non-recurring costs that amounted to €1.07 million and were related to the economic agreement resulting from the conclusion of the relationship between Eurotech S.p.a. and the former Chief Executive Officer.
The reduction in costs for services is due in part to the exchange rate differential, which accounted for €0.10 million and the rest by the reduction in variable costs due to the trend in turnover and lower travel costs incurred in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the same quarter of 2020.
The Group continued, even in this period of health emergency and uncertainties, to invest particularly on the business line of the IoT platforms for applications in the industry and in services in addition to developments linked to the HPEC product line and those correlated to traditional embedded products line. The purpose of these investments is to support the research and development area to maintain a product portfolio in line with the technological innovations proposed by the producers of raw materials and components.
Payroll costs went from €5.27 million (26.7% of revenues) to €4.98 million (38.6% of revenues) in the reporting period. At the end of the first quarter of 2021, although the number of employees increased by 1 compared to the end of 2020 and by 4 compared to the 320 employees at the end of the first quarter of 2020, the decrease of €0.29 million is due to the different exchange rate used for the translation of foreign quarterly statements (€0.22 million) and to the lower incidence of costs related to the performance share plan, the final economic effects of which will be completed within the first half of the year. Wages and Salaries in fact included €29 thousand relating to the pro-rata temporis portion of the cost of the Share Performance Plan in place (in the first quarter of 2020, the amount recorded under costs was €140 thousand).
The table below shows the number of Group employees:

At 31 March 2021, this item included a provision for doubtful accounts of €5 thousand (€5 thousand in the first three months of 2020), and refers to provisions made to address any uncollectable receivables from customers.
In addition, a provision of €113 thousand was made against a tax recovery that is expected to be completed shortly. The incidence of the item other provisions and other costs on revenues increased both as a result of the increase in absolute value (€84 thousand) and as a result of the 2.2% decrease in turnover (first three months of 2020: 1.0%).
Other revenues shows an increase from €526 thousand in the first three months of 2020 to €799 thousand in the first three months of 2021.
Other revenues include the capitalisations of development costs for new solutions featuring highly integrated standard modules and systems for €784 thousand (€496 thousand in the first three months of 2020), miscellaneous income of €15 thousand (€30 thousand in the first three months of 2020).
The value of amortisation, depreciation and impairment increased by €193 thousand, from €874 thousand in the first quarter of 2020 to €1.067 thousand in the first quarter of 2021. This item includes depreciation and amortisation of €314 thousand due to the application of IFRS 16 (€351 thousand in 2020).
Financial expenses rose from €0.32 million for the first three months of 2020 to €0.58 million for the first three months of 2021. This increase is mainly attributable to higher exchange rate losses linked to the performance of the American dollar, the Japanese yen and the pound sterling.
Financial income, again due to exchange rates, rose by €164 thousand, from €0.37 million for the first three months of 2020 to €0.54 million for the first three months of 2021.

The net reduction in non-current assets compared to 31 December 2020 amounted to €35 thousand. Net investments in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets of about €1.17 million are partially offset by depreciation and amortisation for €1.07 million.

Net working capital decreased by €4.51 million, from €15.83 million at 31 December 2020 to €11.31 million of 31 March 2021; this performance is due to the different trend of the collection and payment flows, as is usually the case over the various quarters.
The negative change in current assets of €6.83 million is mainly due to the reduction in trade receivables of €7.37 million following the payments received and the lower turnover generated in the quarter, only partially offset by an increase in inventories of €0.24 million and in other current assets of €0.29 million. The decrease in current liabilities was €2.32 million, and consisted of a reduction in both payables to suppliers for €0.24 million, income tax payables for €0.48 million and sundry payables for a total of €1.61 million.
The consolidated net financial position as at 31 March 2021 amounted to a net cash of €10.30 million, compared a net financial position with net cash of €8.55 million as at 31 December 2020. The figures shown include financial payables for rights of use, in application of the IFRS 16 accounting standard, amounting to €2.68 million, which added to the net financial position, result in a pre-IFRS16 net cash position of €12.98 million.
As regards liquidity, which amounted to €40.72 million, the change compared to the end of 2020 is the effect of its use to support current operations and collections received for trade receivables. See also financial cash flows, as indicated on page 17.
Medium-/long-term financial liabilities include principal on bank loans and finance leases falling due beyond 12 months.
Short-term financial liabilities mainly consist of current account overdrafts, the current portion of mortgage loans, and payables to other lenders falling due by 31 March 2022.
The share capital as at 31 March 2021 was made up of 35,515,784 ordinary shares, wholly subscribed and paid up, with no nominal value.

The balance of the Issuer's legal reserve at 31 March 2021 amounted to €1.78 million.
The share premium reserve, which relates entirely to the Parent Company, is shown at a total amount of €136.4 million.
The positive translation reserve of €10,31 million was generated by inclusion in the interim management statement of the statements of financial position and income statements of US subsidiaries Eurotech Inc. and E-Tech USA Inc., UK subsidiary Eurotech Ltd. and Japanese subsidiary Advanet Inc.
The item "other reserves" was negative for €39,41 million and consisted of the Parent Company's extraordinary reserve, formed by losses carried forward, allocations of retained earnings from prior years and other miscellaneous reserves. The change in the year is attributable to the allocation of the 2020 results and to the booking of Eurotech's Performance Share Plan for the period described in a specific section of the 2020 Consolidated Financial Statements.
The cash flow hedge reserve, which includes cash flow hedge transactions pursuant to IAS 39, was negative for €63 thousand and decreased by €18 thousand gross of the tax effect, which was not recognised due to absence of the relative prerequisites.
The foreign exchange reserve in which – based on IAS 21 – foreign exchange differences relating to intragroup foreign-currency loans that constitute part of a net investment in a foreign shareholding are recognised, was positive by €2.79 thousand and increased by €1.60 million gross of the related tax effect, not yet recorded due to the absence of the prerequisites.
The Parent Company Eurotech S.p.A. held 128.020 treasury shares at the end of the reporting period. As at 31 December 2020 the number of treasury shares was 290,520 and the decrease by 162,500 is fully due to the allocation of shares following the Share Performance Plan as detailed in the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2020. At the date of preparation of this report, the treasury shares held were 89,920; their reduction is due to the most recent allocation of 38,100 shares to the beneficiaries of the Group.
