MANAGEMENT'S REVIEW
FINANCIAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE AARSLEFF GROUP
INCOME STATEMENT
In H1 of the financial year 2017/18, consolidated revenue amounted to DKK 5,532 million or 3.7% up on last financial year, of which 1.6% was organic growth. The revenue of the Danish operations was unchanged, while the foreign operations reported a revenue increase of 13.7%.
The revenue increase is primarily attributable to the Pipe Technologies segment where the acquisition of Norwegian Olimb contributed to a growth of 21.6%. In the Ground Engineering segment, revenue increased by 1%, and in the second quarter, revenue increase came to 14.3% due to a high level of activity in Poland and growth in the Danish activities. Revenue in the Construction segment increased by 0.8%.
Administrative expenses and selling costs came to 8.3%, in line with the same period of last financial year.
Operating profit (EBIT) amounted to DKK 178 million (EBIT margin: 3.2%) compared to DKK 110 million (EBIT margin: 2.1%) in H1 of last financial year. Last financial year, EBIT results comprised a gain of DKK 22.5 million from the sale of land.
The Construction segment performed slightly above expectations. The Pipe Technologies segment performed in line with expectations.
The Ground Engineering segment performed below expectations. H1 earnings expectations were low at the beginning of the financial year due to a low order backlog. In Germany, the supply of reinforced concrete piles for onshore wind turbine foundations has been one of the main markets historically. However, currently the activity within onshore wind turbine projects is very low. This has had a negative influence on earnings this financial year, and the performance of the German company was unsatisfactory.
178
In February, the employees of the Danish part of the Group were offered to participate in an employee share programme. The share programme is a matching share programme where the participants by purchasing B shares in the company at their own cost (investment shares), subject to a threeyear vesting period, will be entitled to receive one B share (matching share) in the company free of charge per acquired investment share (1:1). The programme has a three-year term. A total of 1,119 employees have signed up for the first year's programme. The costs of the first year's programme is expected to amount to DKK 19.7 million and will be recognised as an expense over the three-year vesting period. The costs of the employee share programme in the financial year 2017/18 will amount to DKK 5.6 million and are included in the earnings expectations for the financial year.
Net financials were negative at DKK 10 million or on par with the same period of last financial year.
REVENUE
EBIT (MILLION) AND EBIT MARGIN (%)
ORDER BACKLOG (MILLION)
Consolidated profit after tax amounted to DKK 126 million in H1 of the financial year compared to DKK 76 million last financial year.
ORDER BACKLOG
At 31 March 2018, the company's order backlog amounted to DKK 12,817 million (30 September 2017: DKK 9,466 million). H1 order intake amounted to DKK 8,883 million.
The H1 order intake of the Construction segment amounted to DKK 6,804 million, and at 31 March 2018, the order backlog amounted to DKK 10,493 million (30 September 2017: DKK 7,484 million) of which 3,700 million is expected to be carried out during this financial year. In March, we signed three contracts for the construction work and the track system for the Copenhagen Light Rail. Aarsleff 's share of the three contracts is a total value of approx. DKK 1.9 billion. In Norway, the newly acquired company Banedrift AS has entered into two contracts for railway work on the Nordland Line, and in Odense, Hansson & Knudsen A/S has entered into an important contract for renovation of the residential blocks at Højstruphave.
The H1 order intake of the Pipe Technologies segment amounted to DKK 835 million, and at 31 March 2018, the order backlog amounted to DKK 924 million (30 September 2017: DKK 989 million) of which DKK 700 million is expected to be carried out during this financial year.
The H1 order intake of the Ground Engineering segment amounted to DKK 1,244 million, and at 31 March 2018, the order backlog amounted to DKK 1,400 million (30 September 2017: DKK 993 million) of which DKK 700 million is expected to be carried out during this financial year.
BALANCE SHEET
The consolidated balance sheet total came to DKK 6,890 million at 31 March 2018. This corresponds to a decrease of DKK 135 million compared to the balance sheet total of DKK 7,025 million at the end of last financial year.
Work in progress, net decreased by DKK 264 million, of which DKK 60 million was from Q2. The main reason for this is the increase in invoiced advance payments.
Consolidated interest-bearing liabilities less interest-bearing assets amounted to a net debt of DKK 143 million compared to a net debt of DKK 207 million at 30 September 2017. The net debt decrease is primarily attributable to the positive development of the company's working capital.
Equity amounted to DKK 2,729 million compared to DKK 2,695 million at the end of last financial year or 39.6% of the balance sheet total compared to 38.4% at the beginning of the financial year.
CASH FLOW STATEMENT
Cash flows from operating activities amounted to DKK 348 million compared to DKK 328 million in the same period last financial year. The working capital amounted to a positive DKK 155 million, primarily due to a decrease in contracting debtors and an increase in advance payments. The positive effect is partly offset by an expected decrease in the trade payables owing to the usual seasonal fluctuations.
SEGMENT RESULTS
| In H1, there was a payment on account of tax in Denmark of approx. DKK |
|---|
| 140 million. A number of large projects were completed during the past |
| financial year resulting in an increase in tax paid. |
Cash flows from investing activities were negative at DKK 169 million compared to a negative amount of DKK 186 million in the same period last financial year. Investments in property, plant and equipment were lower than in the same period last financial year but due to the requirement for more new investments in connection with the large harbour contracts secured in Q1, the expectations for the investment level of the year exclusive of acquisitions was increased from DKK 380 million to DKK 425 million.
Cash flows from financing activities were negative at DKK 83 million compared to a negative amount of DKK 77 million in the same period last financial year.
Thus, the change in liquidity for the period was positive at DKK 95 million.

CONSTRUCTION – RESULTS SLIGHTLY ABOVE EXPECTATIONS
H1 revenue amounted to DKK 3,795 million, corresponding to a 0.8% growth, of which 0.4% was organic growth. Revenue generated by the Danish operations amounted to DKK 3,318 million, a 1.1% increase compared to the same period of 2016/17. The foreign operations reported a revenue decline of 1% to DKK 477 million.
Segment results (EBIT) amounted to DKK 117 million (EBIT margin: 3.1%) compared to DKK 50 million (EBIT margin: 1.3%) last financial year and are slightly above expectations at the beginning of the financial year.
Per Aarsleff A/S reported results above expectations. The level of activity continues to be high, and the projects are carried out according to plan or better than expected. In May, an agreement was signed to further expand Port of Frederikshavn, and the expansion of the ports of Hanstholm and Roenne has commenced.
Overall, the other companies of the Construction segment performed below expectations at the beginning of the financial year. The results of Wicotec Kirkebjerg A/S develop positively but there is continued focus on project management improvement. The order backlog of Hansson & Knudsen A/S has increased, but the price competition on the market on Funen remains strong. Ístak hf. reported results significantly above expectations, and there is a high level of activity, particularly within building activities in Iceland.
In March, Per Aarsleff A/S signed a cooperation agreement on the Lighthouse project in Aarhus with a view to being involved in the project at an early stage. Aarsleff is currently involved in a number of similar projects in Copenhagen such as the development of the new Natural History Museum of Denmark, the post office property for the pension firm Danica, Kronløb Island and a construction plot with a residential tower in the Carlsberg City. Already in the planning phases of all the projects, the Group can offer expertise and experience.
The outlook for the financial year 2017/18 is unchanged, corresponding to an EBIT margin of approx. 3.5% and revenue approximately on par with last financial year.

H1 revenue was DKK 900 million or 21.6% up on last financial year, of which 8.7% was organic growth. The Danish operations reported a revenue decline of 3.5% to DKK 250 million. The foreign operations reported a revenue increase of 35.1% to DKK 650 million.
Segment results (EBIT) amounted to DKK 46 million (EBIT margin: 5.1%) compared to DKK 37 million (EBIT margin: 5%) last financial year. Results are in line with expectations at the beginning of the financial year.
The Danish operations performed slightly below expectations primarily due to increasing raw material prices. The companies in Germany and Sweden performed in line with expectations.
Olimb in Norway performed above expectations at the beginning of the financial year.
In Russia, the Q2 level of activity was low, but we still expect satisfactory full-year results. In Poland, there is still intense competition for the EU projects put out to tender, and the company performed below expectations.
The outlook for the financial year 2017/18 is unchanged, corresponding to an EBIT margin of approx. 4.5% and revenue which is approx. 15% higher compared to last financial year.

H1 revenue came to DKK 837 million or 1% up on last financial year. The Danish operations reported a revenue decline of 7.6% to DKK 318 million. The foreign operations reported a revenue increase of 7% to DKK 519 million.
Segment results (EBIT) amounted to DKK 15 million (EBIT margin: 1.8%) compared to DKK 23 million (EBIT margin: 2.8%) last financial year and are below expectations at the beginning of the financial year.
The Danish operations performed below expectations primarily due to a very low level of activity in the first quarter of the financial year. A number of construction pit projects will contribute positively to the results during the rest of the financial year.
In Sweden, the level of activity continues to be high, and the company generated EBIT results above expectations.
In Poland, the level of activity is increasing. Results have improved significantly compared to last financial year and exceed expectations at the beginning of the year. A continued high level of activity is expected in the rest of the financial year.
In Germany, results were unsatisfactory due to the low level of activity within onshore wind turbine projects. Activities have been initiated to promote the sale of reinforced concrete piles to other market segments. However, the effect of this is expected to be limited this financial year.
In the UK, results were below expectations. The new strategy focusing on the execution of minor projects and increased sale of reinforced concrete piles to third party has been implemented, and the company's order backlog for the rest of the financial year is satisfactory.
The outlook for the financial year 2017/18 is unchanged, corresponding to an EBIT margin of approx. 5% and revenue which is approx. 5% higher compared to last financial year.
