Consolidated Interim Group Management Report

MBB Industries AG (hereinafter also "MBB-AG") forms the MBB Industries Group (hereinafter also the "MBB Group") together with its portfolio companies.

Business and economic conditions

The business conditions at our portfolio companies improved significantly in the second quarter of the year. Our portfolio companies report on high incoming orders and encouraging order backlogs. The upswing throughout the economy is also driving up commodities prices and reducing the margins on our products. We are therefore facing the challenge of implementing higher product prices on the market.

Net assets, financial position and results of operations

Starting from the basis of the past financial year of 2010, the net assets and financial position are developing positively. In accordance with IFRS 5, the income statement and the following information take into account the sale of Huchtemeier Papier GmbH in 2011, the increased shareholding in Hanke Tissue and the loss of the majority in the Romanian Delignit companies in 2010 such that the prior-year figures no longer include the "discontinued operations" (companies no longer in the Group as at 30 June 2011), thereby improving the comparability of the "continuing operations".

In the first six months of the financial year, the consolidated revenue of the MBB Group rose by 5.0% as against the same period of the previous year to €51.9 million (previous year: €49.4 million).

Other operating income was down year-on-year at €1.0 million (€1.8 million) and, in addition to exchange gains, offsetting income from benefits in kind and income from securities, also included income from the reversal of provisions. The income from the deconsolidation of Huchtemeier Papier is reported separately at €0.4 million.

The ratio for cost of materials to total operating revenue declined from 70.8% in the first six months of the previous year to 62.1%.

EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) amounted to €4.4 million (previous year: €3.4 million). After depreciation and amortisation of €1.8 million, EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes) for the MBB Group in the first half of the year was €2.6 million (previous year: €1.7 million). Considering the balanced financial result, EBT (earnings before taxes) amounted to €2.7 million (previous year: €1.3 million). Earnings from continuing operations totalled €2.3 million (previous year: €1.6 million). The consolidated net profit after non-controlling interests amounted to €2.3 million or €0.35 per share including earnings of discontinued operations.

The consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2011 reported equity of €48.3 million (31 December 2010: €47.4 million). Based on total consolidated assets of €89.7 million, the equity ratio thus equals 53.9%, representing a significant increase compared to 31 December 2010 (51.7%).

As of 30 June 2011, the MBB Group had liabilities to banks of €16.9 million (31 December 2010: €18.3 million) and cash and cash equivalents including securities and physical gold reserves of €31.5 million (31 December 2010: €33.1 million). The net figure for the above liabilities and cash positions (net debt/net cash) was therefore net cash of €14.6 million, virtually unchanged as against 31 December 2010 when net cash of €14.8 million was reported.

Segment performance

The following segments are reported:

  • Technical Applications
  • Industrial Production
  • Trade & Services

In the first six months, revenue in the Technical Applications segment rose slightly compared to the previous year. The external revenue of the Technical Applications segment – namely the Delignit Group as the only equity interest in this segment – amounted to €13.8 million (previous year: €12.5 million) in the first six months; EBIT at €0.7 million, was up significantly on the previous year's figure of €-0.5 million. It should be noted that both the 2011 figures and the prior-year figures contain continuing operations only – they therefore do not include the discontinued Romanian companies.

The Industrial Production segment revenue was stable year-on-year with external revenue of €26.3 million for the period from 1 January to 30 June 2011. EBIT is slightly higher year-on-year at €1.8 million (€1.6 million).

In the Trade & Services segment, revenue rose to €11.2 million as against the previous year (€10.1 million). At €0.7 million, the segment's EBIT, which included income from the deconsolidation of Huchtemeier of €0.4 million, was up on the previous year's figure of €-0.3 million.

Employees

The number of employees in the MBB Group falls slightly at 652 as at 30 June 2011 after 665 as at 31 December 2010.

Report on risks and opportunities

The risks and opportunities of the business development of the MBB are described in the Group management report for the 2010 financial year, which is available on our Internet site.

There have been no significant changes in the risks and opportunities presented since 31 December 2010. The risk management system of MBB Industries AG is appropriate for detecting risks early on and taking direct measures.

Supplementary report

The annual meeting of July 7, 2011 approved a dividend of €0.33 per share for the business year 2010. The dividend of €2.178m was paid out on July 8, 2011.

As part of an asset deal effective 1 October 2011, DTS IT AG, a member of MBB Group, will have fully acquired the business activities of eld datentechnik GmbH, Fellbach, via a subsidiary. As a distributor for IT infrastructure systems, eld datentechnik GmbH operates throughout Germany and is specialised in IP-access- and storage-technology. The eld datentechnik unit supplements the specific DTS computing service range for second generation cloud computing.

Other than this, there have been no significant events since the end of the reporting period.

Report on expected developments

For the 2011 and 2012 financial years, the Managing Board is still forecasting increases in revenue as against 2010 for its current portfolio and a positive overall earnings level.

Notes to the interim consolidated financial statements

Accounting

The half-year financial report of the MBB Group for the period 1 January 2011 to 30 June 2011 was prepared on the basis of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) published by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) as adopted in the EU. It was prepared in accordance with IAS 34.

Accounting policies

The accounting policies adopted are the same as those of the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2010. The preparation of the financial statements was influenced by recognition and measurement policies in addition to assumptions and estimates affecting the amount and reporting of recognised assets, liabilities, contingent liabilities and income and expense items. Matters relating to sales are deferred intra-year.

Result of discontinued operations

Effective 1 January 2011, MBB Industries AG sold its interest in Huchtemeier Verwaltung GmbH and thereby its 80% share in Huchtemeier Papier GmbH. This sale is shown as a discontinued operation in line with IFRS 5. The comparative figures for 2010 include the results of the Romanian companies S.C. Cildro S.A., S.C. Cildro Service Srl. and S.C. Delignit Romania Srl., which were majority sold in 2010, in the results of discontinued operations.

Changes in the scope of consolidation

DTS IT AG was founded by way of notarised contract on 1 March 2011 with its headquarters in Herford. It was entered in the commercial register on 4 March 2011. The object of the company is the management of its own assets, including in particular forming and acquiring, investing in, managing and selling companies in Germany and abroad, particularly in the field of information technology. The initial capital of the company was €2,200 thousand, divided into 2,200,000 no-par value shares. MBB Industries AG holds 80% in the company. On 5 April 2011, DTS Systeme GmbH and ICSmedia GmbH were regrouped under DTS IT AG. The three companies form the DTS Group.

Effective 1 January 2011, the shares in Huchtemeier Verwaltungs GmbH, Dortmund, and thereby the 80% stake in Huchtemeier Papier GmbH, Dortmund, were sold to Mr. Alfred Voßschulte. The following table shows the calculation of the gain on disposal generated.
