Q & A submitted before webinar
- Q4 gross margin of 15.6% was lowest in a year. Apart from seasonal aspects, what other developments dragged margins lower?
We would still qualify 15.6% as margin being on high side of guidance. Seasonal aspects already has been mentioned. Impact of December holidays is noticeable. At end of year customers do not accept deliveries and invoices, which means that finished products are accounted in work-in-progress only at direct costs. It is not only the particular days been a holiday, it also has consequences of shift work distractions, some materials needed for production not been delivered in time and other distractions that reduce productivity and margins.
- Assuming the latest convertible loan provided to LightSpace Technologies in Q4 (EUR 0.22m) would be converted, what is the effective ownership of HMX in LightSpace?
We would not speculate about exact ownership share at this point. It will be announced once actual conversion will take place.
- Please describe main factors behind a 24% q-o-q rise in administrative expenses?
If we are analysing administrative expense, it has been changing both ways over a year. Q1 – 0.339; Q2 – 0.404; Q3 – 0.339; Q4 – 0.422. Q4 administrative cost is only ~5% higher than Q2. And Q3 has been summer holiday period with reduced salary costs. In this particular Q4 we can see increased software deprecation costs, also variable (bonus) part of salaries for finance department at Q4 played some role in increase.



Q & A submitted before webinar
- How much the refinancing of debt enabled to reduce the weighted average interest rate? Can you disclose the new rate level?
Long term interest expense expected to go down by approx 45% for the existing level of loans.
