MANAGEMENT REPORT

General information

The joint stock company HansaMatrix (hereinafter – HansaMatrix or the Company) is a leading Baltic electronic system product developer and manufacturer. The Company is actively operating integrated product manufacturing services in industrial systems, data network infrastructure, Internet of Things, medical and several other B2B (business-to-business) market segments. HansaMatrix is actively growing its knowledge business, product development engineering teams and building knowledge platform for future innovation and business development. Building on its 17-year experience and its business mission, which is to develop global technology products, the Company makes itself a valuable asset assisting customers in the achievement of success in global markets.

Business environment

According to McKinsey recent report on "Manufacturing the future…" – "Manufacturing's role is changing… manufacturing promotes innovation, productivity, and trade more than growth and employment." Manufacturing of electronic, optical and precise systems continue to be global technology innovators and businesses are R&D, capital and trade intensive.

We can clearly observe new innovations in various sectors - "telecoms" with 5G, car industry becoming electrically driven and autonomous, medical systems become more sophisticated, networked systems become more M2M as IoT and Industry 4.0.

All those uses require more sophisticated electronic hardware and manufacturers that can deeper participate in R&D processes.

The third quarter of 2018 continued a deficit phase of electronic component supply chain of typical 3..4 year cycle. The leading manufacturers of multi layer ceramic capacitors – MURATA, AVX and others continued allocation period for most of its popular capacitor models. Within allocation period capacitor lead time have extended up to 52…56 weeks. As a secondary effect it has initiated price rise process.

Finance results brief summary

During the third quarter (Q3 further in document) of 2018 the Company reported turnover of 5.005 million EUR – a decrease by 4% in comparison to the same period of 2017. The 2018 Q3 sales results showed 4% sales volume decrease in comparison with previous quarter – 2018 Q2.

During first 9 months ("9m" or "M9" further in the document) of 2018 the Company reported sales volume increase by 11% compared to the same period of 2017 and reached 16.090 million EUR sales.

During 2018 Q3 the Company reported quarterly EBITDA result of 0.777 million EUR and quarterly net profit result of 0.153 million EUR. The reported EBITDA result shows 31% decrease in comparison with Q3 2017 and 20% decrease compared to previous quarter of 2018 Q2. The quarterly net profit results for 2018 Q3 demonstrate 71% decrease in comparison with Q3 2017 and 62% decrease compared to previous – Q2 2018. Results represent quarterly EBITDA margin of 15.5% and net profit margin of 3.1%.

During first 9 months of 2018 the Company reported high 9m EBITDA result of 2.801 million EUR and high 9m net profit result of 1.058 million EUR.

2018 9m results and the achieved y-o-y growth level reflect the firm commitment of the Company to execute its growth strategy. Lower 2018 Q3 sales in comparison with 2018 Q2 and 2017 Q3 sales are to some extent explained by the particular electronic component deficit in the global market and by, previously reported in the Company 2018 Q2 financial report, fire event that broke out in 2018 Q3 in one of AS HansaMatrix client's wharehouses and was expected to have negative impact on HansaMatrix data networks segment sales in 2018 Q3 and Q4 due to supply chain delivery times of additional new components. This fire accident is not expected to impact the segment sales volume in the longer term. EBITDA and net profit margins in Q3 2018 and 9m 2018 have decreased but remain comparatively strong, influenced by the manufactured product mix with comparably high added value.
