GROUP FINANCIALS
Performance in first half of 2017 in line with expectations
Nilfisk realized total revenue of 280.0 mEUR in Q2 2017 with an organic growth of 1.7%. For the first six months of 2017, revenue was 548.9 mEUR and organic growth was 3.0%.
In Q2 2017 EBITDA before special items was 35.8 mEUR, and the EBITDA margin before special items improved by 1.0 percentage point to 12.8%. In the first six months of 2017, EBITDA before special items was 70.9 mEUR, and the EBITDA margin before special items increased by 1.7 percentage point to 12.9%. Nilfisk's return on capital employed increased from 12.7% at the end of June 2016 to 16.6% at the end of June 2017.
Organic growth per operating segment
| Q2 2017 | Q1 2017 | Q1-Q2 2017 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| EMEA | 1.7% | 5.7% | 3.6% |
| Americas | 5.9% | 10.3% | 7.9% |
| APAC | 1.4% | -0.3% | 1.0% |

| Subtotal Specialty | -3.2% | -2.5% | -2.9% |
| Group | 1.7% | 4.5% | 3.0% |
Organic revenue growth driven by EMEA and Americas
Total nominal revenue growth was 1.2% in Q2 2017 with a negative impact of 0.4% mainly from the divestment of the US-based Cyclone Technology in 2016 and a negative impact of 0.1% from currency exchange rates. For the first six months of 2017, total growth was 3.2%, impacted negatively by 0.4% mainly from the divestment and positively by 0.6% from currency exchange rates.
Nilfisk realized an organic revenue growth of 1.7% in Q2 2017. The growth was driven by positive developments in the Americas and EMEA with organic growth of 5.9% and 1.7% respectively. After a flat organic growth in Q1 2017, APAC realized a positive organic growth of 1.4% in Q2 2017, while Specialty professional realized negative organic growth of 0.1%, and Specialty consumer realized negative organic growth of 6.4%. The total business excluding Specialty realized an organic revenue growth of 3.2% in Q2 2017, and 4.9% for the first half of 2017.
Gross margin improved
In Q2 2017, the gross margin was 43.1% compared to 41.8% in Q2 2016, equivalent to an increase of 1.3 percentage point. The increase was driven by operational improvements. The gross margin benefitted from increased sales of products with higher margins compared to Q2 2016.
During the first six months of 2017, and particularly in Q2, increasing raw material prices had a negative impact on the gross profit margin. This development is expected to continue for the second half of the year. Also taking into account that the sales in the private label business, which has lower than average gross profit margin, is expected to increase, the gross profit margin is expected to be lower in the second half of the year.
For the first six months, the gross margin increased from 42.4% in 2016 to 43.8% in the same period in 2017. The impact of the Accelerate+ cost saving program was 1 mEUR, corresponding to an improvement in the gross margin of approximately 0.2%.
Overhead cost ratio in line with expectations
Overhead costs were 93.2 mEUR in Q2 2017, equivalent to an overhead cost ratio of 33.3% compared to 32.8% in Q2 2016. The higher ratio was mainly driven by a shift in the Research and Development activities towards increased research that cannot be capitalized, an increased sales and distribution cost ratio impacted by increasing freight rates, and further investments in front-end sales initiatives. The administration cost ratio decreased. For the first six months, the overhead cost ratio decreased from 34.1% in 2016 to 33.9% in 2017.
The overall development in overhead costs is in line with expectations and has been positively impacted by the cost saving program launched in 2016 as part of the Accelerate+ initiative.
Solid increase in EBITDA before special items
EBITDA before special items amounted to 35.8 mEUR in Q2 2017, up from 32.6 mEUR in Q2 2016. The EBITDA margin before special items increased by 1.0 percentage point to 12.8% from the same quarter last year. The increase was mainly driven by an increasing gross margin, and partly offset by a higher overhead cost ratio.
For the first six months of 2017, EBITDA before special items was 70.9 mEUR, an increase of 11.1 mEUR from the same period in 2016. The EBITDA margin before special items was 12.9% compared to 11.2% for the same period in 2016, equivalent to an increase of 1.7 percentage point.
Special items
In Q2 2017 Special items were 2.7 mEUR, and for the first six months of 2017, Special items amounted to 6.9 mEUR. The costs primarily relate to restructuring costs of 4.9 mEUR incurred in connection with the organizational and structural changes and the cost saving program executed as part of the Accelerate+ initiatives. In addition, 2.0 mEUR of costs, mainly related to consultancy fees, were incurred in connection with the intended split from NKT A/S.

GROUP FINANCIALS
Working capital
At the end of Q2 2017, working capital was 184.1 mEUR, down by 9.6 mEUR from the end of Q2 2016. The decrease was mainly driven by higher payables. The working capital ratio measured on a 12 months' average decreased by 2.9 percentage points from 19.5% at the end of Q2 2016 to 16.6% at the end of Q2 2017.
Referring to the 2016 Annual Report, the working capital level as at December 31, 2016, was unusually low. It was impacted by factors including the postponement of production of consumer high pressure washers because of the late Easter in 2017, as well as a low level of inventory due to strong demand in the last months of the year. The changes in working capital in the cash flow statement during the first six months of 2017 reflect the low starting point for working capital at the beginning of the year.
Net interest-bearing debt
At the end of Q2 2017, total net interest-bearing debt was 278.1 mEUR, up by 12.3 mEUR against year-end 2016 and down by 38.1 mEUR against end of Q2 2016. The main part of the debt relates to intercompany balances with the parent company, NKT A/S.
Interest-bearing intercompany balances at the end of Q2 2017 are recognized as long-term balances in accordance with agreements made with NKT A/S. The 2016 comparison figures are recognized as short-term debt reflecting agreements in place at that given time.
2017 Outlook
Nilfisk's expectations for 2017 are maintained compared to the guidance provided in the Q1 Interim Report 2017 released on May 17, 2017:
- Organic revenue growth is expected in the range of 2% to 4%
- The EBITDA margin before special items is expected to be in the range of 11.0% to 11.5%
Split of NKT A/S
NKT announced in September 2016, in connection with NKT Cables' acquisition of ABB HV Cables, that subject to completion of NKT Cables' acquisition of ABB HV Cables, it intended to split NKT into two separately listed companies: Nilfisk and NKT, including the former NKT Cables (including ABB HV Cables) and NKT Photonics. The Board of Directors of NKT concluded that a separation of NKT into two stand-alone businesses is in the best interest of its shareholders as it would allow for value creation by unlocking the full potential of each of the companies. A separation will create two leading businesses, each with a clearly defined investment case.
On the basis of the above, NKT's Annual General Meeting held April 21, 2017, mandated NKT's Board of Directors to proceed with the split. As a consequence, preparations for the future listing of Nilfisk as a separate company continued over the course of Q2 2017. The split is expected to be completed in the second half of 2017.
Accelerate+ cost saving program
In 2016 Nilfisk initiated a cost saving program as part of the Accelerate+ initiative, with the target of realizing 35 mEUR in annual EBITDA improvements. The full cost saving potential of Accelerate+ is expected to be achieved as of December 2019 with full EBITDA impact from the financial year 2020. The program includes overhead reductions from structural changes and efficiencies through production footprint, sourcing initiatives, process optimization, complexity reductions, and price management. By the end of Q2 2017, initiatives implemented and launched in 2016 and during the first six months of 2017 had positively impacted costs by savings of 8 mEUR, with a full-year effect of 17 mEUR, split with approximately 12 mEUR related to overhead reductions, approximately 4 mEUR related to Global Operations initiatives, and less than 1 mEUR related to other initiatives such as complexity reductions and price management.
| EUR million | 2016 | Q1 – Q2 2017 | 2017 | 2018 | 2019 | Full potential end 2019 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Expected annual accumulated impact on EBITDA before Special items related to levers executed prior to the end of each period | 11 | 17 | 17-19 | 25-30 | 35 | 35 |

Nilfisk Q2 Interim Report 2017 7
GROUP FINANCIALS
Updated segmentation as of January 1, 2017
Prior to January 1, 2017, the Group's operation was split in three main sales operating segments being EMEA, Americas and APAC, which were primarily geographically defined. Most of Nilfisk Group's production and supply chain activities were included in the segment Global Operations, while an additional operating segment named "Other" included items relating to Nilfisk Group's smaller stand-alone production facilities and smaller sales entities. Global Operations is responsible for sourcing, production and logistics. Prior to January 1, 2017, the operating segments within sales bought products from Global Operations at internally determined prices and such internal prices allowed Global Operations to cover operating expenses and realize operating profits.
With effect from January 1, 2017, the Group has redefined its operating segments to align with a new operational model and organizational structure implemented during 2016. Certain products have been carved out from the geographically defined operating segments previously used, and such products are now reported as "Specialty professional" and "Specialty consumer". Therefore, as of January 1, 2017, the geographically defined operating segments EMEA, Americas and APAC are now defined entirely by certain professional products. The new carved-out segment Specialty professional includes industrial vacuum cleaners and the outdoor and restoration equipment business, along with specialized equipment for the food industry. Specialty consumer includes domestic vacuum cleaners and high pressure washers for the consumer markets.
In the Q1 Interim Report 2017, the gross profit in each operating sales segment was still based on internally determined prices for products acquired from the production units and thus a share of operating profit remained non-allocated.
In the Q2 Interim Report 2017, the gross profit disclosed for the EMEA, Americas and APAC sales segments is based on internally determined prices for products acquired from the production units, while the operating profit related to the production of such products is reported under non-allocated. For Specialty professional and Specialty consumer gross profit includes full product profitability. Comparative figures for the same periods in 2016 for the carved-out Specialty segments are partly based on the Executive Management Board's judgment.
As supplementary information, the Q2 Interim Report 2017 includes gross profit information where the product profit has been allocated in full to all operating segments, thereby showing the full group profit contribution of the operating segments EMEA, Americas, APAC, Specialty professional and Specialty consumer. The full allocation of product profit has been implemented retrospectively from January 1, 2017. Comparative figures for the same periods in 2016 are only available for the carved-out Specialty segments and are partly based on the Executive Management Board's judgment.
Consequently, and in order to have comparison figures, the segment reporting includes gross profit based on internally determined prices as well as gross profit based on full profit contribution.
The 2017 operating profit before amortization/impairment of acquisition-related intangibles and special items is disclosed by operating segments including profits and cost directly attributable to the operating segments. Overhead costs in the sourcing, production, logistics and headquarter functions are not allocated to operating segments but disclosed as non-allocated. With effect from January 1, 2017, a new overhead cost allocation model between the operating segments has been introduced in line with the new operating model implemented as of the same date. Due to a change in segments and the new allocation of cost between such segments, comparative figures for 2016 cannot be estimated reliably as the information is not available and the cost to derive such comparative numbers is deemed excessive.

MARKETS AND SEGMENTS
EMEA
121 mEUR in revenue in Q2 2017
1.7% organic revenue growth in Q2 2017
3.6% organic revenue growth in the first half of 2017
EMEA covers sales of professional products to markets in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, excluding sales in the carved-out business "Specialty" (see page 5).
In EMEA, Nilfisk realized revenue of 120.9 mEUR, up 1.6 mEUR from Q2 2016. Organic revenue growth was 1.7%. This represented a significant decline compared to Q1 2017 but could to a large extent be attributed to the effect of less working days during Easter, which in 2017 was in Q2, and in 2016 in Q1. The mature markets in Western Europe continued to deliver strong organic growth, supplemented by the Eastern European markets and Turkey. The positive developments, however, were offset by lower organic growth in some areas and markets including timing effect of sales in the private label business. Furthermore, macro economic factors continued to have a negative effect in the Middle East and North Africa.
Strategic accounts within retail and contract cleaning continued to perform strongly across EMEA.
Gross profit in EMEA was 33.7 mEUR, down 0.2 mEUR from the same period last year (measured without full allocation of product profits), due to changes in the product mix. The gross profit margin without full allocation was 27.9%, down 0.5 percentage point from Q2 2016.
In Q2 2017, the gross profit with full profit allocation in EMEA was 53.0 mEUR and the gross profit margin was 43.8% for the same period.
Americas
78 mEUR in revenue in Q2 2017
5.9% organic revenue growth in Q2 2017
7.9% organic revenue growth in the first half of 2017
Americas covers the sales of professional products to markets in North America and South America, excluding sales in the carved-out business "Specialty" (see page 5).
In the Americas, Nilfisk realized revenue of 78.0 mEUR, up 4.8 mEUR from the same quarter last year. Organic revenue growth was 5.9%, driven by a continued strong development in the US, particularly within US National Accounts; however, this development was offset by a continued weak performance in the industrial segments. The hot water high pressure business realized strong growth in Q2. Mexico and Canada also contributed positively to the overall development in the Americas with strong growth rates.
Gross profit in Americas was 21.7 mEUR, up 1.6 mEUR from Q2 2016 (measured without full allocation of product profits). The gross profit margin without full allocation improved by 0.4 percentage point to 27.8% due to changes in product mix sales, as well as a focus on efficiency measures and cost reductions.
In Q2 2017, the gross profit with full profit allocation in Americas was 32.6 mEUR and the gross profit margin was 41.8% for the same period.
APAC
21 mEUR in revenue in Q2 2017
1.4% organic revenue growth in Q2 2017
1.0% organic revenue growth in the first half of 2017
APAC covers sales of professional products to markets in Asia and Pacific (Australia and New Zealand), excluding sales in the carved-out business "Specialty" (see page 5).
Nilfisk realized revenue of 20.7 mEUR in Q2 2017, up 0.4 mEUR from the same quarter last year. Organic revenue growth was 1.4%, driven by China that continued the positive development from Q1, and also supported by markets in South East Asia. A major growth segment continued to be the mid-market showing significant growth rates across all markets. Sales in Japan, Korea and Australia were below expectations.
The service business experienced positive growth in all markets across APAC, driven by new initiatives such as promotions and service packages.
Gross profit in APAC was 6.9 mEUR, up 0.6 mEUR from Q2 2016 (measured without full allocation of product profits). The gross profit margin without full allocation was 33.3%, up 2.4 percentage points from Q2 2016, due to changes in the product mix.
In Q2 2017, the gross profit with full profit allocation in APAC was 8.6 mEUR and the gross profit margin was 41.5% for the same period.

Q2 saw a continuation of the strong trend within the Industrial Vacuum Solutions business, particularly in Americas and EMEA markets supported by investments in sales and service, and an underlying positive investment climate in the manufacturing industries. This was offset by a lower activity in the Outdoor business.

The consumer business saw a strong sales development in Q2 in the two largest markets, the Nordics and the Pacific region. However, the growth in these regions was offset by the negative effect caused by the loss of a large single customer combined with a cold spring season affecting the main European markets.
Gross profit in Specialty consumer was 10.3 mEUR, down 0.9 mEUR compared to Q2 2016. The gross profit margin was 36.4%, down 0.5 percentage point from Q2 2016.

STRATEGY AND OPERATIONS
Strategy and operations
Accelerate Strategy roll-out
While preparations for the upcoming listing of Nilfisk as a separate company continued over the course of Q2 2017, Nilfisk moved ahead with the roll-out of the Accelerate business strategy, supporting key focus areas within the strategy. Nilfisk's customer relationships are supported by continued investments and by building a strong Sales and Service organization. Key levers are investments in sales and service support systems like the global roll-out of a new Customer Relationship Management system which continued in Q2.
Expansion of the service business continued through Q2 driven by increased focus on service excellence across regions. Having easy and quick access to professional service is a key factor for the Nilfisk Group's professional customers, and Nilfisk employs more than 700 field service technicians worldwide.
To support growth, it is Nilfisk's strategy to maintain and develop a competitive and innovative product range. This ensures the identification of new market opportunities as well as expansion of current offerings, like the Nilfisk ATTIX range which saw sales increase in Q2. The ATTIX range is a series of professional dust extractors, targeting segments like Building & Construction and focusing on improving productivity. For example, it integrates Nilfisk's patented InfiniClean™ system which automatically cleans the filter during operation using reversed air-flow pulse.
To release the full potential and enable execution of the strategy, a new operational model and organizational structure supporting the execution of the strategy came into full effect from January 1, 2017. The new model is reducing complexity in the organization, and during Q2 the organization continued its implementation of new structures and interfaces enabling a stronger alignment to better serve specific customer and market segments.
Products and solutions
In Q2 2017, Nilfisk launched one new product within the high pressure washer product line: The Nilfisk SC Delta is a multi-pump, stationary high pressure washer system allowing up to 12 people to work on the equipment at once. The system is targeted towards the heaviest cleaning applications in segments like Building & Construction and the Food & Beverage industry such as slaughterhouses.
The Nilfisk Liberty A50, a new autonomous scrubber was awarded 'Best New Product' at the FinnClean trade show in Finland in May. The scrubber has the latest sensor technology and has been developed in collaboration with Carnegie Robotics, a leading provider of advance robotics sensors and software. The completion and commercialization of the new autonomous scrubber is still ongoing, and Nilfisk has therefore adjusted the launch plans to allow time for further testing. The first units of the Nilfisk Liberty A50 are expected to be released towards the end of 2017 or in the first part of 2018.

Nilfisk Q2 Interim Report 2017 14
Note 1
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This Interim Report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the EU.
Prior to January 1, 2017, the Group's operation was split in three main sales operating segments being EMEA, Americas and APAC, which were primarily geographically defined. Most of Nilfisk Group's production and supply chain activities were included in the segment Global Operations, while an additional operating segment named "Other" included items relating to Nilfisk Group's smaller stand-alone production facilities and smaller sales entities. Global Operations is responsible for sourcing, production and logistics. Prior to January 1, 2017, the operating segments within sales bought products from Global Operations at internally determined prices and such internal prices allowed Global Operations to cover operating expenses and realize operating profits.
With effect from January 1, 2017, the Group has redefined its operating segments to align with a new operational model and organizational structure implemented during 2016. Certain products have been carved out from the geographically defined operating segments previously used, and such products are now reported as "Specialty professional" and "Specialty consumer". Therefore, as of January 1, 2017, the geographically defined operating segments EMEA, Americas and APAC are now defined entirely by certain professional products. The new carved-out segment Specialty professional includes industrial vacuum cleaners and the outdoor and restoration equipment business, along with specialized equipment for the food industry. Specialty consumer includes domestic vacuum cleaners and high pressure washers for the consumer markets.
In the Q1 Interim Report 2017, the gross profit in each operating sales segment was still based on internally determined prices for products acquired from the production units and thus a share of operating profit remained non-allocated.
In the Q2 Interim Report 2017, the gross profit disclosed for the EMEA, Americas and APAC sales segments is based on internally determined prices for products acquired from the production units,
while the operating profit related to the production of such products is reported under non-allocated. For Specialty professional and Specialty consumer gross profit includes full product profitability. Comparative figures for the same periods in 2016 for the carved-out Specialty segments are partly based on the Executive Management Board's judgment.
As supplementary information, the Q2 Interim Report 2017 includes gross profit information where the product profit has been allocated in full to all operating segments, thereby showing the full group profit contribution of the operating segments EMEA, Americas, APAC, Specialty professional and Specialty consumer. The full allocation of product profit has been implemented retrospectively from January 1, 2017. Comparative figures for the same periods in 2016 are only available for the carved-out Specialty segments and are partly based on the Executive Management Board's judgment.
Consequently, and in order to have comparison figures, the segment reporting includes gross profit based on internally determined prices as well as gross profit based on full profit contribution.
The 2017 operating profit before amortization/impairment of acquisition-related intangibles and special items is disclosed by operating segments including profits and cost directly attributable to the operating segments. Overhead costs in the sourcing, production, logistics and headquarter functions are not allocated to operating segments but disclosed as non-allocated. With effect from January 1, 2017, a new overhead cost allocation model between the operating segments has been introduced in line with the new operating model implemented as of the same date. Due to a change in segments and the new allocation of cost between such segments, comparative figures for 2016 cannot be estimated reliably as the information is not available and the cost to derive such comparative numbers is deemed excessive.
Except for above, the interim report follows the same accounting policies as the 2016 Annual report. Regarding accounting estimates, please refer to Note 1.1 on page 42 of the 2016 Annual Report. Regarding risks please refer to Note 6.8 on page 88 of the 2016 Annual Report and the information contained in the section on risk management on page 28 of the Annual Report.
Reclassifications
The Nilfisk Group has made a reclassification that affects cost of sales as well as sales and distribution costs in 2016. The reclassification involves the transfer of direct distribution costs of 3 mEUR from being included in "cost of sales" to "sales and distribution costs" in 2016. This reclassification affects "gross profit" as well as the overhead cost ratio. "Operating profit before amortization/ impairment of acquisition-related intangibles and special items" is not affected.

Independent auditor's review report
Independent auditor's review report on the interim consolidated financial statements of Nilfisk A/S for the period January 1 – June 30, 2017
To the shareholders of Nilfisk A/S
We have reviewed the interim consolidated financial statements of Nilfisk A/S for the period January 1 – June 30, 2017, which includes an income statement, statement of comprehensive income, balance sheet, statement of cash flows and statement of changes in equity as well as explanatory notes.
Management's responsibility for the interim consolidated financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as adopted by the EU and additional Danish requirements. It is also responsible for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the interim consolidated financial statements. We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Group and additional requirements under Danish audit regulation. This requires us to conclude whether anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, is not prepared in all material respects in accordance with the applicable financial reporting framework. This also requires us to comply with ethical requirements.
A review of the interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with the International Standard on Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Group is a limited assurance engagement.
The auditor performs procedures, primarily consisting of making inquiries of management and others within the Group, as appropriate, and applying analytical procedures, and evaluates the evidence obtained.
The procedures performed in a review are substantially less than those performed in an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the interim consolidated financial statements.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim consolidated financial statements is not prepared in all material respects in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as adopted by the EU and additional Danish requirements.
