HIGHLIGHTS OF THE HALF YEAR

  • In H1-2019/2020 Rovsing has successfully completed a strategic project T6A EPS EGSE in Turkey, which is a milestone reference for Rovsing's future markets and business development. However, the project has consumed excess resources in the organization to finalize successful delivery, which affected H1-2019/2020 negatively
  • In the first half year of 2019/20, the revenue amounted to DKK 9,4 million (2018/19: DKK 11,0 million)
  • Gross profit of DKK 7,3 million (2018/19: DKK 9,7 million)
  • Other external expenses DKK 1,0 million (2018/19: DKK 1,4 million) or an improvement of DKK 0,4 million
  • Current order book and order intake are very solid, and the projected pipeline is at a higher level compared to prior years. This combined with delays in the upstart of larger ESA driven missions, many of Rovsing's activities have shifted to H2 2019/20 and into next financial year. Therefore, revenue in H2 2019/20 will be positively affected by upstart of some of these delayed missions
  • H1 EBITDA is also negatively affected by one off costs of DKK 0,4 million re. replacement of two employees in Kourou at the European space base CSG in French Guiana
  • Cash flow from operating activities of DKK -1,1 million (2018/19: DKK 1,8 million)
  • The half year has suffered from delayed Kick-Off of new contracts which had been anticipated shortly after the summer. Rovsing worked under PATPs on both Plato SIS PFE and SMILE PLM EGSE projects until December 2019 and February 2020 respectively. These projects have picked up pace and deliveries will be rolling out during the second half year
  • Rovsing has supported the industry primes with a high number of proposals during the half year on high profile missions such as the PLATO, Galileo Transition Satellites, Mars Sample Return and the six high-priority candidate missions for the EU's Copernicus programme. Overall the expected activity in Rovsing market segments is estimated to be on the rise in late second half year of 2019/20 as well as in the coming business years
  • The finalization of the T6A EPS EGSE and the delayed kick-off of new ESA driven projects has caused a poor development in revenue and negative EBITDA in H1 2019/20. The expected revenue for 2019/20 is changed to the range of DKK 21 to 23 million and an EBITDA of DKK -1 to 0 million. This is an adjustment against the previous guided outlook for the revenue from a range of DKK 24 to DKK 26 million to a range of DKK 21 to 23 million and EBITDA from DKK 0 to 1 million, to an EBITDA in the range of DKK -1 to 0 million

The reverse share split reduced the number of shares issued in the company, so that 1.000 shares at a nominal value of DKK 0.05 were merged into one share with a nominal of DKK 50 (1000: 1 ratio). The Key Figures above are adapted to this change.

Rovsing's financial year is from 1 July to 30 June.

MANAGEMENTS' REVIEW

REVENUE AND RESULTS

Revenue for the first half year 2019/20 amounted to DKK 9,4 million compared to DKK 11,0 million in the same period last year.

Gross profit for the period amounted to DKK 7,3 million compared to DKK 9,7 million in the first half of 2018/19. The drop in gross profit is attributable to the delayed finalization of the extensive T6A EPS EGSE project, which has tied up more resources in the organization resulting in more hours spend than expected.

Other external expenses amounted to DKK 1,0 million compared to DKK 1,4 million in the same period last year. The effect of the implementation of IFRS 16 (Leases) is lower external costs of DKK 0,6 million in the first half year of 2019/20.

Staff cost amounted to DKK 8,1 million or DKK 0,1 million lower compared to the same period in the financial year 2018/19. Staff cost is negatively affected by one off costs of DKK 0,4 million re. replacement of two employees in Kourou at the European space base CSG in French Guiana.

EBITDA for the period amounted to DKK -1,8 million compared to DKK 0,1 million in the same period of the financial year 2018/19.

The net profit for the first half year amounted to DKK -4,7 million compared to DKK -1,9 million in the same period last year.

Equity as per 31 December 2019 amounted to DKK 13,6 million (31 December 2018: DKK 17,2 million).

Cash flow from operating activities for the period amounted to DKK -1,1 million compared to DKK 1,8 million in the first half year 2018/19. Net cash flow from investing activities amounted to DKK -0,2 million (2018/19: DKK -0,4 million) and cash flow from financing activities amounted to DKK 1,3 million (2018/19: DKK -1,3 million) while net cash flow for the period amounted to DKK 0 million (2018/19: DKK 0,2 million).

OPERATIONAL REVIEW

The European market

The European institutional market remains the most important market to Rovsing, with an outlook to a market with increasing activity level with new large profile missions entering implementation phase. Here, Rovsing has supported the various industry Primes and consortiums on both ESA and national programmes.

The efforts and focus on diversifying the Company's market share to bring further stabilization and growth potential in activity level has continued, with the successful delivery of the T6A EPS EGSE and Solar Array Simulator systems to Boeing as testament to Rovsing's ability to deliver large systems on time, on quality and at competitive price range.

In the first half of the financial year 2019/20, Rovsing had less than projected revenues as a result of unbudgeted additional efforts and test time required to resolve EMC compliance violations of equipment provided by two different vendors. Although, these issues have had negative impact on the Company performance, their resolution with minimal schedule impact for our customer are a testament to the hard work and ingenuity of the staff.

Rovsing has continued support for the Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle (MPCV), especially the European Service Module (ESM). A fourth Solar Array Wing Front End Equipment (SAW FEE) system was delivered to Airbus DS in Bremen in October 2019. In addition, Rovsing engineers have provided onsite support at both Kennedy Space Center and during the TVAC campaign in Plumbrook during H1. As part of the NASA Artemis programme several ESMs are foreseen until 2028. In this connection Rovsing foresees to continue providing engineering support both remote and onsite as well as spare parts and possible upgrades.

Individual product sales refurbishments and upgrades of previously delivered test systems continues to be a revenue stream for Rovsing with work being carried out on programs such as Galileo, EnMAP, Electra and Copernicus.

During H1, Rovsing started work on two new missions. For Thales Alenia Space UK, Rovsing is providing Satellite Interface Simulator (SIS) Power Front-End (PFE) systems for supporting PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars (PLATO), which is the third medium-class mission in ESA's Cosmic Vision programme. The PLATO SIS PFE project successfully concluded the Design Review in December 2019 and deliveries are scheduled throughout H2. Rovsing has been selected by Airbus DS Spain to provide the Payload Module EGSE for the Solar wind Magnetosphere Ionosphere Link Explorer (SMILE) mission which is a joint venture mission between the European Space Agency and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Rovsing started work under a PATP in H1, followed by contract signature in February 2020,


where also the Design Review will take place followed by system delivery anticipated in late H2.

Together with Critical Software from Portugal, Rovsing is responsible for writing the updated ESA handbook for Independent Software Verification and Validation.

Rovsing's onsite service business has undergone evaluation in the half year with regards to profitability and possible expansion of activities in Europe while some legacy activities have already been concluded or are expected to ramp down in the coming years.

The US market

Rovsing continues to pursue further opportunities in the US market on both the institutional and the commercial market building on the deliveries to Lockheed Martin and Boeing Space Systems and making Rovsing's products and solutions known in the US market.

The half year has been quiet in terms of US sales activities, but increased focus planned for the second half year.

Emerging Markets

Rovsing has continued interest emerging markets, with sales activities and inquiries in both Asia and South America.

Product development and production

In the financial year 2019/20, Rovsing has continued to improve the product base and related logistics, production and testing environments. Improvements in value chain and efficiency are a constant focus to improve the Company's competitive advantage.

Product development and feature improvements in the domains of both software and hardware remain key enablers for Rovsing abilities to deliver diverse market leading system solutions to customers.

Organisation and management

By the end of December 2019, Rovsing employed a total of 22 employees, counted on a full-time-equivalent basis. Most employees were employed at the company's head office in Skovlunde, Denmark, but the company also has employees at several local destinations where they provide support services and consultancy services.

At the Company's annual general meeting in October 2019 Michael Hove, Flemming Hynkemejer and Ulrich Beck were reelected to the

Board of Directors, while Steen Rosenkvist was elected as new member, replacing Jakob Have, who did not seek reelection.

Outlook for 2019/20

The finalization of the T6A EPS EGSE and the delayed kick-off of new ESA driven projects has caused a poor development in revenue and negative EBITDA in H1 2019/20. The expected revenue for 2019/20 is changed to the range of DKK 21 to 23 million and an EBITDA of DKK -1 to 0 million. This is an adjustment against the previous guided outlook for the revenue from a range of DKK 24 to DKK 26 million to a range of DKK 21 to 23 million and EBITDA from DKK 0 to 1 million, to an EBITDA in the range of DKK -1 to 0 million

EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

After the balance sheet date, no events have occurred that materially affect the Company's financial position.

NOTES

ACCOUNTING

1 POLICIES USED

The interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim financial reporting, as adopted by the EU and further Danish disclosure requirements in respect of interim reports for listed companies.

Relevant new accounting standards

Except for the below described changes in the accounting policies used for the interim report the accounting policies used for Annual Report 2018/19 is the same, to which we refer for a full description.

Rovsing has with effect from 1 July 2019 implemented the following new and amended standards and interpretations:

  • IFRS 16 Leases

Effect of IFRS 16:

Rovsing has implemented the new leasing standard IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective method and has therefore not adjusted comparative figures, which continue to be presented in accordance with the rules in IAS 17 and IFRIC 4.

As of 1 July 2019, all leasing and lease contracts on the balance sheet are recognized with a leasing asset (the right to use the assets) and a lease obligation, respectively.

In accordance with the transitional provisions of IFRS 16 Rovsing has, when implanting the standard, chosen not to recognize leases with a maturity of less than 12 months or with low value.

The average alternative loan interest rate used for discounting future lease payments in connection with the measurement of the lease obligation on initial recognition of IFRS 16 is set at Rovsing's alternative loan interest rate which is approx. 6.5% p.a.

Impact of implementation of IFRS 16:

As per 1 July 2019 Rovsing has recognised leasing assets of DKK 2,5 million and a lease commitment of DKK 2,5 million. The equity effect is hereby DKK 0.
