Report of the Board of Directors
Update of Impact Covid-19 on the JENSEN-GROUP Activities and Other Important Developments
JENSEN-GROUP's revenues for the first half-year of 2021 amount to 124.3 million euro compared to 130.1 million euro in the first six months of the previous year. A 1.7 million euro margin related to cancelled projects remains unrecognized. The 4.5% decrease in revenues reflects the unprecedented and tumultuous market conditions that began at the onset of the Covid-19 epidemic in the second quarter of 2020. The stand-still in travel and tourism affected the company's entire hospitality industry customer base with several customers having to temporarily close down their operations. These turbulent market conditions lasted well into 2021 as lock downs and changing government directives around the use and access to the hospitality industry continued.
Occasionally, JENSEN-GROUP grants buy-back guarantees to individual customers. A few extensions of buy-back guarantees of up to 12 months were granted in light of the closing of several laundries. One particular case, in an area where the hospitality sector was directed to close down entirely, led to additional provisions of 0.4 MEUR.
The Group took significant and swift measures to decrease the cost base and to adjust the capacity in several plants in response to the changing markets. Thanks to the resourcefulness of our employees, the EBIT amounts to 10.2 million euro in the first half of 2021 as opposed to 2.4 million euro in the first half of 2020. The EBIT includes 0.7 million euro one-off costs (versus 2.5 million euro in the same period in 2020) from the restructuring necessitated by the reduction of the workforce.
JENSEN USA received a Promissory Note from the state of Florida amounting to 1.9 million USD in May 2020. On March 17, 2021, forgiveness was granted, and the amount is recorded as other income.
Other income also includes support from the authorities, mostly related to payroll compensation in several countries (0.2 million euro in the first six months of 2021 compared to 0.7 million euro during the first half-year of 2020).
In July 2020, JENSEN GmbH was granted an amortizing KfW (Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau) loan amounting to 10 million euro for a period of six years. The conditions of the loan give the company the right to repay the loan before the final end date. The company drew the full amount of 10 million euro.
The German entities also applied for government subsidies to cover fixed costs. In July, they received a 50% down-payment amounting to 0.4 million euro. As the Group was not virtually certain at half-year closing, the income is not included in the half-year result and will be accounted for in the second half.
On the balance sheet, the Group reports a net financial cash position of 25.9 million euro, including 8.0 million euro leasing debt, compared to 28.3 million euro at year-end 2020. The Group's borrowing agreements include financial covenants with one of the financial institutions on solvency as well as a positive EBITDA on an annual basis and a maximum debt/EBITDA ratio. As per June 30, 2021, the JENSEN-GROUP was in full compliance with its bank covenants.
An impairment of the financial participations was not required as our participations in Tolon GLOBAL MAKINA Sanyi Ve Tikaret Sirketi A.S., Turkey performed according to our expectations.
Based on the above, the analysis of the markets, valuation of the order backlog, the analysis of the sales funnel, the future revenues, various scenarios and cash projections, the Group is of the opinion that the consequences of Covid-19 are manageable for the coming period with the knowledge as of today. Therefore, the EMT has concluded, and the Board concurs, that the JENSEN-GROUP is able to continue as a going concern.
On March 26, 2021, the JENSEN-GROUP increased its shareholding in Inwatec from 30% to 70%. Inwatec ApS is a Danish company, part of Europe's robotic hub Odense Robotics, manufacturing modern high-end solutions for industrial laundries. The core competence of Inwatec is in the field of software and mechanical development for laundry automation and robotics. Inwatec ApS announced a net income of 2.7 MEUR in 2020. The JENSEN-GROUP does not expect a significant impact on the Group's consolidated revenues as most of the sales are already included in the JENSEN Sales and Services Centers. The purchase price (14.9 million euro) allocation is disclosed in the notes of these condensed financial statements.
Net financial charges decreased from 1.8 million euro to 1.0 million euro because of currency gain.
Taxes increased from 0.1 million euro to 2.6 million euro as profit before taxes increased.
The result from companies accounted for by the equity method (participations in TOLON) decreased from 0.8 million euro to 0.2 million euro. As the Group increased its shareholding in Inwatec up to 70%, the participation in Inwatec is consolidated under the full consolidation method and no longer under the equity method.
The above-mentioned factors together resulted in an increase in net Group share profit from 1.5 million euro to 6.9 million euro.
Outlook 2021
The JENSEN-GROUP received 140.2 million euro in orders during the first six months of 2021, a 25.3% increase over last year's order intake of 111.9 million euro in the same period.
Considering the continuing uncertainty around the recurrence of lock downs in countries around the world, we expect the investment climate in our markets to remain unpredictable well into 2021. We remain confident, however, in our ability to weather the storm thanks to the restructuring measures we implemented last year and that succeeded in creating a significant financial headroom. We are prudent in our outlook for 2021 but optimistic in the anticipation of a return to previous levels of order intake in the course of 2022 as the hospitality market begins to recover.
Risk Factors
The Group expects that the increase in raw material and component prices as well as the potential for disruption in component supply chains may impact production costs and delivery schedules in the second half of 2021. Other risk factors include the duration and effect of the pandemic, rapid declines in demand, the availability of financing to our customer base, fluctuating raw material, energy, and transportation prices, exchange rate volatility, an uncertain political climate, and competitive pressures.
Important Transactions with Related Parties
There were no important transactions with related parties.
Significant Post-Balance Sheet Events
The German entities applied for government subsidies to cover fixed costs. In July, they received a 50% downpayment amounting to 0.4 million euro. As the Group was not virtually certain at half-year closing, the income is not included in the half-year result and will be accounted for in the second half.

The Board of Directors approved the present condensed financial statements for issue on August 10, 2021.
This condensed consolidated interim financial information is for the first half-year ended June 30, 2021. These interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting", as adopted by the EU. The accounting policies used in the preparation of the interim financial statements are consistent with those used in the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.
This condensed consolidated interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the 2020 annual IFRS consolidated financial statements.
This condensed consolidated interim financial information has not been reviewed by the external auditor.
The policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented.
Taxation is determined annually and, accordingly, the tax charge for the interim period involves making an estimate of the likely effective tax rate for the year. The calculation of the effective tax rate is based on an estimate of the tax charge or credit for the year expressed as a percentage of the expected accounting profit or loss. This percentage is then applied to the interim result, and the tax is recognized ratably over the year as a whole.
The preparation of the condensed interim financial information requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements, are disclosed in the accounting policies.
Based on the information described in the Report of the Board of Directors, p. 7 and 8, the analysis of the markets, valuation of the order backlog, the analysis of the sales funnel, the future revenues, various scenarios and cash projections, the Group is of the opinion that the consequences of Covid-19 are manageable for the coming period with the knowledge as of today. Therefore, the EMT has concluded, and the Board concurs, that the JENSEN-GROUP is able to continue as a going concern.
This condensed consolidated interim financial information has been prepared in accordance with those IFRS standards and IFRIC interpretations issued and effective or issued and early adopted as at 30 June 2021 which have been adopted by the European Union, as follows:

CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION FOR 6 MONTHS ENDED ON JUNE 30, 2021 19 The following standard is mandatory since the financial year beginning 1 January 2016 (however not yet subjected
to EU endorsement). The European Commission has decided not to launch the endorsement process of this interim standard but to wait for the final standard:
IFRS 14, 'Regulatory deferral accounts' (effective 1 January 2016).
The Group is currently assessing the impact of these standards.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements involves the use of estimates and assumptions, which may have an impact on the reported values of assets and liabilities at the end of the period as well as on certain items of income and expense for the period. Estimates are based on economic data, which are likely to vary over time, and are subject to a degree of uncertainty. These mainly relate to non-current assets - right to use, contracts in progress (percentage of completion method), pension liabilities, provisions for other liabilities and charges and expected credit loss model. There are no changes in the estimates used compared to the December 31, 2020 financial statements.
Change in Valuation Rules and other Changes and their Impact on Equity
There are no changes in the accounting policies compared with the accounting policies used in the preparation of the financial statements as per December 31, 2020.
We add following valuation rule regarding revenue recognition of spare parts:
Revenue Recognition – Spare Parts
The revenue from spare parts is recognized at a point in time. The income is recognized when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction can be sufficiently measured and will flow to the Group.
Note 2: Scope of Consolidation
The parent Company, JENSEN-GROUP NV, and all the subsidiaries that it controls are included in the consolidation.
On March 26, 2021, the JENSEN-GROUP increased its shareholding in Inwatec ApS from 30% to 70%. As the JENSEN-GROUP holds 70% participation, the participation is consolidated under the full consolidation method as from March 26, 2021 onwards. Before that date, the participation was consolidated under the equity method.
Note 3: Segment Reporting
The Board of Directors has examined the Group's performance and has identified a single business segment. The total laundry industry can be split up into Consumer, Commercial and Heavy-Duty laundry. The JENSEN-GROUP entities serve end-customers only in the Heavy-Duty laundry segment. Most of these laundries range from large on premises laundries to large international textile rental groups. Basically, all JENSEN-GROUP customers follow the same processes. The JENSEN-GROUP sells its products and services under the 'JENSEN' and 'ALPHA by Jensen' names through own sales and service companies and independent distributors worldwide. In this way the JENSEN-GROUP operates only in a single segment.
The following table presents revenue and certain asset information based on the Group's geographical areas. The basis for attributing revenues is based on the location of the customer:

The difference between non-current assets in the table above (92.5 million euro) and the non-current assets as per the consolidated statement of financial position (97.3 million euro) relates to the deferred tax assets (4.8 million euro).

| Contract assets | 41,711 | 33,159 | |
| Contract liabilities | 10,392 | 10,896 | |
The above contract assets represent the Group's right to consideration in exchange for goods or services that it has transferred to a customer. Amounts could however not already be invoiced as the right to consideration is not yet unconditional because additional obligations remain to be delivered to the customer.
Construction contracts are valued based on the percentage of completion method. At June 30, 2021 contract assets included 10.1 million euro of accrued profit (6.3 million euro at December 31, 2020).

| Overdraft | -2,287 | -4,345 | |

Note 10: Related Party Transactions
The shareholders of the Company as per June 30, 2021 are:
| JENSEN INVEST A/S: | 54.4% |
|---|---|
| Lazard Frères Gestion SAS: | 5.2% |
| Free float: | 40.4% |
There are no significant changes in compensation of key management.
On March 26, 2021, the JENSEN-GROUP increased its shareholding in Inwatec from 30% to 70%. As the JENSEN-GROUP holds 70% participation, the participation is consolidated under the full consolidation method as from March 26, 2021 onwards. Before that date, the participation was consolidated under the equity method.
Note 11: Acquisitions
During the first half-year, goodwill increased with 13 million euro: On March 26, 2021, the JENSEN-GROUP increased its shareholding in Inwatec from 30% to 70%. Inwatec ApS is a Danish company, part of Europe's robotic hub Odense Robotics, manufacturing modern high-end solutions for industrial laundries. The core competence of Inwatec is in the field of software and mechanical development for laundry automation and robotics. Inwatec ApS announced a net income of 2.7 MEUR in 2020. The JENSEN-GROUP does not expect a significant impact on the Group's consolidated revenues as most of the sales are already included in the JENSEN Sales and Services Centers.
The table below gives an overview of the acquisition-date fair value of the total consideration transferred and the remaining amount of goodwill recognized for the acquisition:
| June 30, 2021 (in thousands of EUR) |
|
|---|---|
| Order backlog | 351 |
| Brand name | 1,231 |
| Research & Development | 1,869 |
| Distribution channels | 654 |
| Other non-current assets | 2,046 |
| Current assets | 4,748 |
| Non current liabilities | -1,522 |
| Current liabilities | -2,827 |
| Net assets acquired | 6,550 |
| Previously held interest | 2,780 |
| Non-controlling interest | 1,946 |
| Goodwill | 13,040 |
| Purchase price | 14,864 |
| Net cash out for acquisitions of subsidiaries | 14,864 |
The remaining goodwill represents the market value of securing large, high-tech projects in partnership with Inwatec. Our joint effort extends our market offering and supports our strategy on innovation in applying robotics and AI (Artificial Intelligence) to laundry automation processes. As this market value does not met the criteria for recognition as an intangible asset, it is accounted for as goodwill.
None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.
The fair value of the previously held interest is in line with the carrying value of the participation.
The non-controlling interest is valued at proportionate share.
The fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired in the above transaction is determined on a provisional basis. Any adjustment to the provisional amounts will be recorded within twelve months of acquisition date.
Note 12: Events After the Balance Sheet Date
The German entities applied for government subsidies to cover fixed costs. In July, they received a 50% downpayment amounting to 0.4 million euro. As the Group was not virtually certain at half-year closing, the income is not included in the half-year result and will be accounted for in the second half.
