Operating activities

  • Revenue
  • o The Group started with a strong order backlog at the beginning of the year.

Moreover, smaller orders with short term deliveries were higher than anticipated.

Report of the Board of Directors

Important developments of the first 6 months

Revenue is higher than the first half-year of 2017 (181.0 million euro compared to 173.5 million euro prior year) thanks to a strong order backlog at the beginning of the year. Despite a lower production backlog at the beginning of the second quarter, it was decided to keep the production level unchanged until the summer holiday period. Moreover, smaller orders with short term deliveries were higher than anticipated.

The overhead costs increased compared to prior year resulting in a lower operating profit (- 2.5%). The higher overheads are related to marketing costs and the implementation of the ERP system.

The financial result improved with 0.1 MEUR thanks to lower net interest charges.

The result of companies accounted for under equity method (Inwatec ApS and TOLON Global Makina A.S.) increased with 0.5 million euro.

All the items described above resulted in a 0.3 million euro increase in the Groups net income attributable to the shareholders (from 11.1 million euro to 11.4 million euro).

On January 2, 2018 JENSEN-GROUP acquired a participation of 30% in Inwatec, ApS, a Danish company that manufactures high-end heavy-duty laundry products. JENSEN-GROUP has the option to increase its shareholding from 2020-2023. This investment in laundry robotics and AI (Artificial Intelligence) confirms the Group's vision to automate all processes in the laundry.

0n April 10, 2018, the JENSEN-GROUP increased its shareholding in TOLON GLOBAL MAKINA Sanyi Ve Tikaret Sirketi A.S., Turkey, by 6.33% to 42.66%. The JENSEN-GROUP has the option to acquire up to 49% of the shares.

Outlook for the remaining 6 months

During the first semester 2018, the JENSEN-GROUP received 146.1 million euro orders, 12.8% below the first semester of last year.

The most important risk factors remain an uncertain political climate, rapid changes in demand, availability of financing to our customers, high exchange rate volatility and fluctuating raw material, energy and transport prices.

Important transactions with related parties

There were no important transactions with related parties.

Events after balance sheet date

This condensed consolidated interim financial information is for the first half-year ended June 30, 2018. 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, 2017.

This condensed consolidated interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the 2017 annual IFRS consolidated financial statements.

This condensed consolidated interim financial information has not been audited 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 rateably over the year as a whole.

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 2018 which have been adopted by the European Union, as follows:

The following amendments and annual improvements to standards are mandatory for the first time for the financial year beginning 1 January 2018 and have been endorsed by the European Union:

  • IFRS 9, 'Financial instruments' (effective 1 January 2018).
  • IFRS 15, 'Revenue from contracts with customers' (effective 1 January 2018).
  • Amendments to IFRS 15, 'Revenue from contracts with customers' Clarifications (effective 1 January 2018).
  • Amendments to IFRS 4, Applying IFRS 9 Financial Instruments with IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts (effective 1 January 2018).
  • IFRIC 22,' Foreign currency transactions and advance consideration (effective 1 January 2018).
  • Annual improvements 2014-2016 applicable to three standards of which changes on IFRS 1 and IAS 28 are applicable as of 1 January 2018 and changes on IFRS 12 are applicable as of 1 January 2017.
  • Amendments to IFRS 2, Share-based payments (effective 1 January 2018).
  • Amendments to IAS 40, 'Investment property' (effective 1 January 2018).

The following new standards and amendments to standards have been issued, but are not mandatory for the first time for the financial year beginning 1 January 2018 and have been endorsed by the European Union:

  • IFRS 16, 'Leases' (effective 1 January 2019).
  • Amendments to IFRS 9, 'Prepayment features with negative compensation' (effective 1 January 2019 with the EU).

The following new standards, amendments and interpretation to standards have been issued, but are not mandatory for the first time for the financial year beginning 1 January 2018 and have not been endorsed by the European Union:

  • IFRS 17 'Insurance contracts' (effective 1 January 2021).
  • IFRIC 23, 'Uncertainty over income tax treatments' (effective 1 January 2019).
  • Amendments to IAS 28, 'Long term interests in associates and joint ventures' (effective 1 January 2019).
  • Amendments to IAS 19, 'Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement' (effective 1 January 2019).
  • Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS Standards (effective 1 January 2020).
  • Annual improvements to IFRS Standards 2015-2017 cycle, applicable as of 1 January 2019 and containing the following amendments to IFRSs:
  • o IFRS 3 Business Combinations and IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements.
  • o IAS 12 Income Taxes.
  • o IAS 23 Borrowing Costs.

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 the new requirements.

This condensed consolidated interim financial information is prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets, and financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss.

This condensed consolidated interim financial information is prepared on an accrual basis and on the assumption that the Group is a going concern and will continue in operation for the foreseeable future.

The preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34 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 judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in the accounting policies.

Note 2 – Changes in accounting policies 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 consolidated financial statements as per December 31, 2017.

Implementation IFRS 16

The new IFRS standard on leases, IFRS 16, is effective as from January 1, 2019. In order to be able to estimate the impact of the implementation of the new lease standard IFRS 16, management has reviewed the leasing and rental contracts. Based on this review management confirms that note 17 – Operating leases in the annual financial statements as per December 31, 2017 gives a good estimation of the expected impact.

Note 3 – Segment reporting

The total laundry industry can be split up into consumer, commercial and heavy-duty laundry. The JENSEN-GROUP entities serve end-customers in the Heavy Duty laundry segment. They follow the same process. The JENSEN-GROUP sells its products and services under the JENSEN brand through own sales and service companies and independent distributors worldwide. In this way the JENSEN-GROUP operates only in one single segment.

The following table presents revenue and non-current asset information based on the Group's geographical areas:
