Relative performance EUROTECH S.p.A. 01.01.2023 – 31.03.2023
Eurotech is a global company with a strong international focus, which generates sales on three continents. It is a Group that has operating offices in Europe, North America and Japan, led and coordinated by its headquarters in Italy.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Eurotech has a long tradition of more than 30 years in the design and implementation of embedded computers for special applications, where the ability of computers to withstand hostile environments and the need for continuous and uninterrupted operations are determinant variables. This is a market niche characterised by high value and low volumes that over the years has allowed the company to maintain a gross profit above the sector average.
Over 10 years ago, with a visionary intuition, Eurotech understood that the technological paradigm was changing and it pioneered an evolutionary path towards Edge Computing and Industrial IoT, with significant investments in software integrated with hardware, focusing on the open-source approach. Today, the result of that vision and those investments is a technological positioning among the leaders in the reference market, confirmed both by the awards received and by the mentions in the reports of sector analysts, including Gartner's prestigious Magic Quadrant for Industrial IoT Platforms, where in 2022 we are present for the fourth year in a row.
The factors that characterise Eurotech in the Industrial IoT sector are the following:
Today, the Group's offering is modular, featuring different levels of hardware and software integration and it is structured as follows:
The sectors in which the Group has historically developed most of its turnover are industry and transport, followed by the medical sector. More recently, the new offer of integrated hardware and software for industrial IoT applications has also made it possible to enter new sectors, such as energy. From a strategic point of view, the Group's current choice is to focus on four vertical markets combining larger size and higher growth rates in the next years: industrial automation, transport & offroad, medical, renewable energies & networks for energy-gas-water.

The interim management statement of the Eurotech Group as at 31 March 2023, which has not been independently audited, and the financial 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 2023 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 2023 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 2022, to which express reference is made, except for the adoption of new standards, amendments and interpretations in force as of 1 January 2023.
The calculation of taxes was carried out on the basis of the best possible estimate that can currently be carried out, also taking into consideration the tax benefit of tax-losses carried forward based on the expected results for the end of the year. 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 figures at 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 explanatory notes required the use of estimates and assumptions, with particular reference to provisions for impairment 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:
The first quarter totalled a growth of 43.0% compared to the same period in 2022 (+45.6% at constant exchange rates). Of the total turnover generated in the first three months of the year, the contribution of the German company InoNet Computer GmbH ("InoNet"), acquired in September 2022, was €3.86 million; consequently, organic growth on a like-for-like basis, stood at 20.8% (+23.0% at constant exchange rates).
Total consolidated revenues for the quarter were €24.92 million, compared to €17.43 million in the three months of 2022. InoNet's revenues contribution in the period corresponds to 15.5% of the total turnover.
Although some difficulties remain in the procurement of particular electronic components, the nondelivery of planned orders was limited to less than €1 million, versus €3,5 million during the first quarter of 2022. This result is the effect of the 12- to 18- months planning done already at the end of 2021 with the main suppliers to secure as much as possible the electronic components deemed most at risk based on customer forecasts. Today we are witnessing a reduction in the delivery time of components that, for some items, are made available earlier than the initial planned delivery, which has the effect of temporarily accumulating stock in our inventory.
Although purchase prices have not returned to the level of two years ago, the ad-hoc negotiations entered into last year, also paying premium prices that had led to lower margins, were decidedly reduced, as the improvement in the gross profit margin demonstrates.
In fact, the first margin, as a percentage of turnover, on a like-for-like basis increased to 47.7% compared to 40.9% in the first quarter of 2022. With the integration of InoNet, which still operates with lower – albeit growing – margins, the overall gross profit stood at 46.9% of turnover.
In the three months under review, operating costs before adjustments amounted to €10.81 million, compared to €8.85 million in the first three months of 2022. The main effect (80% of the change) is due to the consolidation of InoNet and therefore the contribution of related costs, while the remainder is the effect of higher personnel costs and costs for services increased to support the Group's go-to market strategy.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
EBITDA amounted to €1.60 million (6.4% of revenues), compared to €-0.99 million in 2022 (-5.7% of revenues).
EBIT, i.e. the operating result for the year, remained positive for €0.37 million (1.5% of revenues), compared to €-2.17 million in 2022 (-12.5% of revenues). In addition to the above, this performance also reflects the depreciation and amortisation recognised in the income statement in the first three months of 2022, deriving from operating assets becoming subject to depreciation and amortisation at the start of the year.
Finance expense was negative for €0.18 million in the first three months of 2023, while in the first three months of 2022 it was negative for €0.24 million. For greater detail, please refer to the comments made in Explanatory Note "J".
In terms of the Group's net result, the first quarter reported €0.14 million (0.6% of revenues), against €-2.38 million in the same period of 2022 (-13.9% of revenues).
As at 31 March 2023, the Group had a net financial debt of €16.5 million, compared to an amount of €14.4 million at 31 December 2022. The non-reduction in the net financial debt was mainly due to the €1.9 million increase in net working capital, which amounted to €21.9 million as at 31 March 2023, compared to €19.9 million as at 31 December 2022. The growth in working capital is mainly linked to the dynamics of purchases of components to maximise production from the existing order book. The ratio of net working capital to pro-forma revenues for the last 12 rolling months, i.e. considering the potential contribution of InoNet, stood at around 21%, in line with management's objectives.
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:

Revenues earned by the Group in the first quarter of 2023 amounted to €24.92 million (€17.43 million in the first three months of 2022), an increase of €7.49 million (43.0%) compared to the same period of last year. At constant exchange rates, total turnover would show an increase of 45.6%, while organic growth alone was 23.0%. The increase is the result of both the orders collected last year and the change in the scope of consolidation due to the inclusion of InoNet for the entire 2023 period.
For operating purposes, the Group is organised in a single business line, also known as business segment, called "NanoPC".

The North American business area's revenues totalled €9.66 million in the first 3 months of 2023 versus €7.22 million in the first 3 months of 2022, reporting an increase of 33.7%. This growth is due to the orders collected in 2022 mainly from consolidated customers. In 2023, as also in 2022, revenues in the American area are affected by a high concentration of turnover on a small number of longstanding customers.
In the European business area, there was a strong increase in turnover due to both the organic growth and the consolidation of InoNet. The total increase was 123.7%, from €4.64 million in the first quarter of 2022 to €10.38 million in the first quarter of 2023. Net of InoNet, turnover would have grown by 37.9%. The area continues to focus on opportunities related to the transport sector and the emerging energy transformation sector, as well as products related to High Performance Edge Computing technologies for enabling Artificial Intelligence.
Finally, the Asian business area decreased by 10.1% from €7.14 million to €6.42 million, due to the fluctuation of orders from its main local customers over the different quarters of the year, maintaining a positive outlook for the coming quarters.
The following table shows the geographical breakdown of revenues based on customer location:
| (€' 000) BREAKDOWN BY GEOGRAPHIC AREA |
Q1 2023 | % | Q1 2022 | % | % change |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| European Union | 8,101 | 32.5% | 2,623 | 15.0% | 208.8% |
| United States | 9,204 | 36.9% | 6,493 | 37.3% | 41.8% |
| Japan | 6,402 | 25.7% | 7,086 | 40.7% | -9.7% |
| Other | 1,210 | 4.9% | 1,227 | 7.0% | -1.4% |
| TOTAL SALES AND SERVICE REVENUES | 24,917 | 100.0% | 17,429 | 100.0% | 43.0% |
With reference to the values by geographic area of the customer reported in the table, the revenues of the US area increased by 41.8% and the area's incidence on the total turnover for the first three months of 2023 was 36.9%.
As regards the Europe area, again referring to the location of customers, the level of turnover increased by 208.8% due to the turnover contributed by the recently acquired German company, whose turnover is mainly directed at the German market. As a percentage of total turnover, this amounted to 32.5%.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Revenues from the Japanese region decreased by 9.7% compared to the first quarter of 2022 and accounted for 25.7% of total turnover.
The other geographic areas completed the remaining 4.9% of total sales, with a decrease in both absolute value and percentage terms compared to the first three months of 2022.
Costs of raw & ancillary materials and consumables used, which are closely related to turnover, show a less than proportional growth in the periods being considered compared to revenues, increasing from €10.30 million in the first three months of 2022 to €13.24 million in the first three months of 2023. In the period under review there was thus a variation of €2.94 million (28.6%). Compared to the same period of last year, lower extra costs of components (PPV) were accounted for, which last year, even though they were being charged back to customers, had a dilutive effect on the percentage margin, which was thus lower than the standard values recorded historically.
As a percentage of revenues, consumption of raw & ancillary materials and consumables stood at 46.9% in the first three months of 2023 compared to 40.9% in the first three months of 2022. Compared to 2022, the consolidation of InoNet also negatively affected total margins due to a lower first-margin level than that characteristic of Eurotech.
Costs for services increased by €0.33 million in the quarters in comparison, equal to 9.8%, from €3.34 million to €3.67 million and the percentage of revenues went from 19.2% in the first three months of 2022 to 14.7% in the first three months of 2023.
This increase in costs for services is due for 71.8% to the change in the scope of consolidation and is only marginally related to higher production costs and ancillary costs linked to the activation of the new company strategy.
In addition, the Group continued to invest particularly on the business line of IoT software platforms for industrial applications in addition to developments linked to the Edge Computers product 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 in the sector, including those proposed by manufacturers of electronic components..
Payroll costs rose from €5.17 million (29.7% of revenues) to €6.72 million (26.9% of revenues) in the reporting period. The increase of €1.54 million is due to the higher costs deriving from the different scope of consolidation (€1.24 million), the higher average cost of wages and, to a marginal extent, to the higher incidence of costs associated with the various share performance plans. Wages and Salaries in fact included €124 thousand relating to the pro-rata temporis portion of the cost of the Share Performance Plan in place (in the first quarter of 2022, the amount recorded under costs was €88 thousand).
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
At the end of March 2023, the number of employees decreased by 1 unit compared to the end of 2022, while it rose by 78 units compared to March 2022 due to the effect of both the 74 units brought in by InoNet and the 4 units resulting from new hires, which, however, are still lower than the number planned for the entire year 2023.
The table below shows the number of Group employees:
| EMPLOYEES | at March 31, 2023 |
at December 31, 2022 |
at March 31, 2022 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Manager | 11 | 11 | 9 |
| Clerical workers | 324 | 325 | 288 |
| Line workers | 62 | 62 | 22 |
| TOTAL | 397 | 398 | 319 |
As at 31 March 2023, this item included a provision for doubtful accounts of €15 thousand (€5 thousand in the first three months of 2022), and refers to provisions made to address any noncollectable receivables from customers.
The ratio of the item other provisions and costs to revenues decreased both in absolute amount (€22 thousand) and as a result of the increase in revenues i.e. 0.9% (first three months of 2022: 1.4%).
The other revenues item shows a slight increase from €719 thousand in the first three months of 2022 to €742 thousand in the first three months of 2023.
Other revenues include the capitalisations of development costs for new solutions featuring highly integrated standard modules and systems for €706 thousand (€675 thousand in the first quarter of 2022) and miscellaneous income for €36 thousand (€44 thousand in the first three months of 2022).
Depreciation, amortisation and impairment increased by €51 thousand, from €1,178 thousand in the first quarter of 2022 to €1,229 thousand in the first quarter of 2023. This item includes depreciation and amortisation of €331 thousand due to the application of IFRS 16 (€303 thousand in 2022).
Financial expenses increased by Euro 0.48 million compared to the period under comparison. There was not only an increase in exchange losses, but also higher interest expenses on loans due to higher interest rates.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Financial income, again due to exchange rates, increased by €0.53 thousand from €0.34 million in the first three months of 2022 to €0.97 million in the first three months of 2023.
The absolute value and percentage of revenues relating to the main components of the financial income and expenses item were as follows:
| €'000 | Q1 2023 | Q1 2022 change % |
|
|---|---|---|---|
| Exchange-rate losses | 837 | 482 | 73.7% |

| Gain on derivatives | 20 | - | n/a |
| Financial incomes | 873 | 338 | 158.3% |
Income taxes as at 31 March 2023 were globally negative for €46 thousand (of which €76 thousand for current taxes and €31 thousand for net deferred tax assets), compared to the positive impact of €35 thousand as at 31 March 2022 (of which €11 thousand for current taxes and €46 thousand for net deferred tax assets), recording a negative change of €81 thousand.
The net decrease in non-current assets compared to 31 December 2022 amounted to €2.06 million and was mainly due to changes in the exchange rates of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, which generated a negative effect of €1.85 million.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Net investments in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets amounted to €0.37 million and were partly offset by amortisation and depreciation of €1.23 million.

Net working capital increased by €1.98 million, from €19.94 million as at 31 December 2022 to €21.92 million as at 31 March 2023; this performance is due to the different trend of the collection and payment flows, as is usually the case over the various quarters.
Current assets decreased slightly by €25 thousand mainly due to the increase in inventories of €2.82 million as well as the increase in other current assets of €1.47 million and the decrease in trade receivables of €4.32 million.
The decrease in current liabilities is much greater than the decrease in current assets and amounted to €2.00 million, mainly with a decrease in trade payables of €1.97 million and a reduction in other current liabilities for a total of €0.03 million.
Consolidated net financial debt as at 31 March 2023 amounted to €16.52 million compared to €14.42 million as at 31 December 2022. The figures shown include financial liabilities for rights of use, in application of the IFRS 16 accounting standard, amounting to €4.65 million, which when subtracted from the net financial debt give a pre-IFRS16 debt of €11.87 million.
With reference to liquidity, which amounted to €16.05 million, in the period under review, as shown in the cash flow statement, operating cash was used in the amount of €0.4 million, while €1.08 million was used for investments and €0.2 million for the repayment of loans.
The trend in cash flows from operations is the result of the use of cash to support current operations and is due to the expected trends mainly due to the decrease in inventories, there should be an improvement in the coming quarters.
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.

The share capital as at 31 March 2023 was made up of 35,515,784 ordinary shares, wholly subscribed and paid in, with no nominal value.
The balance of the Issuer's legal reserve as at 31 March 2023 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 €4,31 million was generated by inclusion in the interim management statement of the statements of financial position and the income statements of US subsidiaries Eurotech Inc. and E-Tech USA Inc., UK subsidiary Eurotech Ltd. and Japanese subsidiary Advanet Inc.
The "other reserves" item was negative for €50.72 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 2022 result, to the reclassification of the exchange difference reserve, the booking of the Eurotech's Performance Share Plans for the period described in a specific section of the 2022 Consolidated Financial Statements.
The cash flow hedge reserve, which includes cash flow hedge transactions pursuant to IAS 39, was positive for €182 thousand and decreased by €23 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 €4.68 thousand and decreased by €1.15 million gross of the related tax effect, not yet recorded due to the absence of the prerequisites.
