TOP-LINE GROWTH SUPPORTED BY HIGH ORDER INTAKE…
Healthy mix of revenues deriving from greenfield projects, modernization, standard equipment and maintenance of existing customers' installed base world-wide
- Order book primarily constitutes greenfield projects and large projects with long lead times
- Large projects and greenfield projects are generally booked to revenues within 12 – 18 months, whereas standard equipment and modernization projects have shorter revenue realization periods of 6 weeks – 6 months
- In 1Q19, order book was 38% trailing twelve months revenues and book-to-bill ratio was 0.99x
- Overall a significant proportion of Marel's revenues derives from the service and spare parts business, in total around 35% of full year 2018 revenues (same in 1Q19)
- Recurring revenues derive from service level agreements, spare parts and ad-hoc repairs

… AND ROBUST ORDER BOOK
Order book remains healthy with a stable order intake and delivery frequency
- Order book consists of orders that have been signed and financially secured with down payments/letters of credit
- Meat projects have in general longer lead times than poultry, while fish projects have shorter cycles
- SLA contracts including spare parts are included in the order book
- Low customer concentration with no customer accounting for >5% of the total revenues
- Well diversified order book by size with widely spread delivery times

WELL DIVERSIFIED REVENUE STREAMS
Strong track record of a well diversified revenue structure across both industries and geographies

REVENUE SPLIT BY SEGMENT
- The poultry and fish segments have organically grown faster than the meat segment during the last 3 years
- Meat segment achieved full-line offering with the acquisition of MPS in 2016 and bolt-on acquisitions of Sulmaq and MAJA in 2017 and 2018, respectively
- Long-term aim to have a more evenly distributed revenue mix, particularly as the fish segment becomes a full-line provider

REVENUE SPLIT BY GEOGRAPHY
- Rest of world share of revenues is steadily accelerating as requirement for automation and food safety is increasing in developing markets
- Underlying market strength in North America has driven consistent revenue contribution from the region over the last 3 years

STEADY OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE
Refocusing efforts in 2014 and 2015 provided the foundation for Marel's highly attractive margin levels over the past three years
- Successful refocusing programme in 2014-2015 subsequently contributed to significant margin uplift
- “Simpler, Smarter, Faster” programme refocused operations with optimizing product portfolio and reduction of manufacturing sites
- Transformational acquisition of MPS (Marel Meat) further contributed to margin expansion in early 2016
- As a result, Marel was able to achieve attractive margins of around 15% over the past several years
- Fluctuation in adjusted EBIT margins quarter on quarter can be expected as timing of big projects and product mix can have an effect

INNOVATION ACROSS INDUSTRIES (CONTINUED)
In the secondary and further processing parts of the value chain, the processing steps become more homogenous across industries, e.g. portioning, batching, weighing and marinating
I-CUT PORTIONCUTTER
- The I-Cut PortionCutter uses a 3D scanner to calculate product weight and decide where to cut to gain the best possible yield
- Same technology is used in all I-Cut portion cutters across industries, with slight variations for poultry, meat and fish products
- Poultry needs more capacity, so two lane machines and smaller knives are utilized
- Meat needs to handle larger products, so the machine has larger knives and specific wider V-belts that hold the product stable
- Fish needs the machine to be adaptable in order to handle different species (e.g. salmon and whitefish)

EXAMPLE DASHBOARD
- Innova Food Processing Software has improved product utilization and increased yield at Einhamar Seafood
- Being able to present full traceability for Einhamar's products has met their customers' needs and strengthened the trust between them
- Sophisticated and user-friendly platform enables a more secure and consistent controlling, monitoring and data recording
- Automatic registration of by-products helps maximize yield by providing an accurate record of quantity and type of heads, bones and mince

|---|---|
| “We’ve worked with the Marel development team over the past 10 years to help tailor the software to our industry, and we’ve been able to solve all the business challenges around traceability, packaging, order control and inventory management…..One of the main benefits of Innova for Trident has been the ability to standardize platforms across facilities. We operate plants in multiple time zones and what we’ve been able to do over the last 10 years is standardize all operations around the same system.” | |
| Jarred Brand, Director | |
| Manufacturing Engineering and Technology | |
| MONITOR | |
| “Innova allows us to keep records throughout each day and traceability for USDA records from not only start, but also now to finish…..We have traceability of what goods were used to cut each individual steak. If the USDA has a recall from a specific supplier, I would be able to, instead of throwing out a whole bunch from that day, narrow the recall down to the exact cases, or to the exact sub primal. This of course gives me tremendous peace of mind.” | |
| Dan Fernandez | |
| Meat Unit Production Manager | |
| IMPROVE | |
| “Before implementing the Innova solution, it could take 36-40 hours for a fish to be processed. Now we can ensure it takes no more than 20 hours by having the Innova system set alarms that enable us to better organize production, make quick decisions and avoid delays…..Faster response times lead to the production of fresher products, so Innova has enabled us to deliver higher quality products to our customers.” | |

INCREASED PROFITABILITY THROUGH COGS EFFICIENCY AND OVERHEAD REDUCTION
Streamlining of manufacturing footprint in 2014 and 2015 translated into gross margin uplift

- Material improvement in gross profit in 2014 – 2015 driven by the “Simpler, Smarter, Faster” programme, which refocused the manufacturing platform and optimised the product portfolio
- More agile production footprint with smaller fixed cost burden as manufacturing plants streamlined and reduced from 19 to 9
- Change in gross profit between 2016 and 2017 is predominantly due to alignment in reporting connected to the acquisition of MPS (Dutch GAAP to IFRS), alignment in service reporting across Marel (reclassification from S&M to COGS) and adverse currency effect

- Marginal increase in G&A as a percentage of revenues is largely driven by one-off costs stemming from ongoing improvement projects and M&A
- Sales and marketing expenses show a steady reduction since implementation of “Simpler, Smarter, Faster” programme
- Currently focused on increasing the front-line sales and marketing platform, as well as improving efficiency in G&A functions

- Operating cash flow fluctuates with the development of order intake and revenue levels
- If order intake grows faster than revenue, working capital improves
- Investments at relatively high level in 2017 and 2018 due to housing, manufacturing expansions and ongoing investments in IT
