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 fourth 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 fourth quarter (Q4 further in document) of 2018 the Company reported turnover of 5.061 million EUR – a decrease by 1% in comparison to the same period of 2017. The 2018 Q4 sales results showed 1% sales volume increase in comparison with previous quarter – 2018 Q3.

During first 12 months ("12m" or "M12" further in the document) of 2018 the Company reported sales volume increase by 7% compared to the same period of 2017 and reached 21.152 million EUR sales.

During 2018 Q4 the Company reported quarterly EBITDA result of 0.517 million EUR and quarterly net los of 0.185 million EUR. The reported EBITDA result shows 37% decrease in comparison with Q4 2017 and 33% decrease compared to previous quarter of 2018 Q3. Results represent quarterly EBITDA margin of 10.2%.

During 12 months of 2018 the Company reported 12m EBITDA result of 3.318 million EUR and 12m net profit result of 0.872 million EUR.
