Management's Review

Company Announcement 22 May 2019

The Board of Directors has today adopted the Half-year Report for the period 1 October 2018 – 31 March 2019.

The half-year in outline:

Operations:

  • Revenue was DKK 132,364k and has thus increased by 9.7% compared to the first half of 2017/18. Both the Industrial and Building & Construction divisions have contributed to this positive development in revenue.

  • The development of the Industrial division reflects the fact that both domestic and export demand has been moderately increasing in terms of both semi-finished products and processing. However, some product areas in the visual sector have been declining. The development has also been characterized by a few large project orders, which have also contributed to the positive development in revenue.

  • The revenue of the Building & Construction Division was in both the first and second quarters over the same period in 2017/18. A generally mild winter and a growing export have contributed to the positive revenue development. New actions / solutions in sales have been positively received in the markets and have also contributed to an increased order intake in the first half.

  • Capacity costs are increasing compared to recent financial years. This is due to continued investments in the strategic development areas, which includes the processing area and exports. This is in order to strengthen our development in the future. The increase in capacity costs is also due to a price increase in transport costs, which has not been possible in full to invoice the customers.

  • In the second half of the financial year 2018/19, the company expects a continued positive revenue development despite the unrest in the markets surrounding the effect of Brexit and the possible trade war. This is partly due to the fact that the building division's main revenue is in the second half. Historically, the second half of the year is always better than the first half.

  • Based on the above, the Board of Directors expects an EBIT result for the financial year 2018/19 in the range of 8.5 - 10.0 million compared to an EBIT of DKK 9.1 million last financial year.

Henning Hess, CEO, comments as follows on the Interim Financial Statements:

> "Overall, the first half has been satisfactory and with a positive development compared to the first half of 2017/18, both on the top and bottom line. The first half of 2018/19 was also our best result so far since the crisis in 2008. A mild winter and a larger foundation of order intake have also confirmed the initiatives and solutions we have initiated. During the six months, we have completed several large one-off projects that contribute positively to revenue growth.

During the past six months, we have continued to work on developing the organization and the company. Digitization projects, a higher degree of sales solutions and the continued push on our

growth areas, the export to Sweden and the expansion of the processing activities gives us a good starting point for the further development of RIAS A/S."

Financing

During the first half-year, the Company has had a positive cash flows from operating activities of DKK 7,135k. This is primarily due to changes in the working capital.

Investments

Total net investments for the period in intangible assets, property, plant and equipment and fixed asset investments amounted to a total off DKK 2,004k in the first half-year 2018/19 compared to an investment of DKK 74k in the first half-year 2017/18. In the first half-year 2018/19, investments primarily consisted of processing machinery.

Expectations for the second half-year 2018/19

After a first half year, which proceeded satisfactorily, it is expected with the actions that have been taken that, sales solutions and digitization / optimization projects, the traditionally higher activity in the second half of the year, continued positive development in the strategic areas and a stable social economy will contribute positively to the result.

The Board of Directors thus expects an EBIT result in the range of DKK DKK 8.5 - 10.0 million.

Special risks

Operating risks

Unforeseen price fluctuations and discontinuation of trade with large customers may affect the Company adversely with regard to expected earnings for the year, but such risks are normal in a trading enterprise.

Financial risks

The Company does not speculate in financial risks, and thus the management of the Company solely focuses on managing financial risks that are a direct consequence of the Company's operations and financing.

The Company has no derivative financial instruments.

Interest rate risks

The Company does not enter into interest rate agreements to hedge against interest rate exposure as moderate changes in the level of interest will not have any material effect on earnings.

Credit risks

The Company's credit risks relate to trade receivables.

It is the Company's policy to take out credit insurance in respect of trade receivables to the extent possible. Trade receivables are assessed on a current basis, and provisions are made when necessary.

Foreign exchange risks

The Company is only to a limited extent exposed to exchange rate developments. Almost all trading takes place in DKK or EUR. As the foreign exchange risk relating to DKK/EUR is considered very small, the Company does not hedge its net debt in foreign currency.


RIAS
RIAS A/S
HALF-YEAR REPORT 2018/19
Page 8 of 17

Liquidity risks

The Company only has debts falling due within one year, see the balance sheet. Payment of the amount, DKK 33,7 million, can be fully covered by payments from receivables.

Knowledge resources

The Company has specific knowledge and competence within the area of trade in plastic semi-manufactures.

The Company attaches importance to attracting, retaining and contributing to the development of well-educated and motivated employees who can participate in safeguarding one of our core values, namely that of providing our customers with the best service.

During the first half-year 2018/19, the Company's number of full-time employees averaged 99, an increase of 3 compared to the first half-year 2017/18.

Environment

The Company continuously strives to limit environmental impact. However, the environmental impact is in itself insignificant as the activities of the Company mainly comprise the distribution and sale of plastic semi-manufactured, but not manufacturing.

The Company is not involved in any environmental lawsuits.

Research and development activities

The Company has no specific research activities, but is continuously developing its business and competence.

Shareholder information

Share capital:

The Company's share capital, DKK 23,063k, is distributed on DKK 3,125k A shares and DKK 19,938k B shares.

Notes

Note 1. Accounting policies

The Half-year Report is prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the EU as well as Danish disclosure requirements for listed companies.

The accounting policies have been changed in relation to the financial statements 2017/18, as the company has implemented IFRS 9 and IFRS 15 as described below.

The Financial Statements 2017/18 include a full description of the accounting policies, to which reference is made, except for the description below of IFRS 9 and IFRS 15.

Change of accounting policies

RIAS uses IFRS 9 "Financial instruments" and IFRS 15 "Revenue from contracts with customers" for the first time. The effect of these changes is described below.

Impact of IFRS 15 "Revenue from contracts with customers"

IFRS 15 replaces the previous revenue standards (IAS 11 "Contracts of Construction" and IAS 18 "Revenue") and related interpretations, and sets out a five-step approach to accounting for revenue from contracts with customers. Under IFRS 15, revenue is recognized at an amount that reflects the remuneration that RIAS expects to be eligible for in return for the goods or services that will be transferred to the customer.

In comparison with previous standards, the following essential elements of IFRS 15 are relevant to RIAS. Generally, revenue is recognized when the control passes to the customer. This can be either at a certain time or over time. When a sales transaction includes a variable remuneration such as Discounts, IFRS 15 then require that the estimated variable remuneration is limited to prevent the recognition of excess revenue. No significant variable remuneration has been identified in the first half of 2018/19 and per October 1, 2018, which should be postponed.

RIAS has implemented the new standard per. October 1, 2018. The new standard had no significant impact on recognition and measurement of revenue and therefore no effect on transferred profit per October 1, 2018.

Impact of IFRS 9 "Financial instruments"

IFRS 9 replaces IAS 39 and changes the classification, measurement and write-down of financial assets. IFRS 9 requires RIAS to record expected credit losses on trade receivables. RIAS has applied the simplified method for implementing IFRS 9 per October 1, 2018, and record expected losses in the lifetime of all trade receivables. Based on the historically low realized losses on receivables, the implementation of the new standard has not had any significant impact on RIAS and therefore no impact on the transferred profit per October 1, 2018. No elements of the implementation of the standard have had an impact on recognition and measurement.

Note 2. Estimates

The preparation of the Half-year Report requires Management to make accounting estimates that affect the application of the accounting policies as well as the recognition of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from such estimates.

When preparing the Half-year Report, the most material estimates made by Management in connection with the application of the accounting policies and the most material uncertainty in this respect are the same as in connection with the preparation of the Financial Statements for 2017/18, to which reference is made.
