INTERIM REPORT

FOR Q2 2016/17

(THE PERIOD 01.01.2017 – 31.03.2017)

EXPECTATIONS MAINTAINED - CHALLENGES IN SUPPLY CHAIN

AFFECTS REVENUE AND EBIT NEGATIVELY IN Q2

The Supervisory Board of RTX A/S has today considered and adopted the Group's interim report for the second quarter of the 2016/17 financial year (covering the period 01.01.2017 – 31.03.2017).

SUMMARY FOR THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2016/17 FOR THE RTX GROUP

  • Net revenue amounted to DKK 84.1 million for Q2 of the 2016/17 financial year, which is DKK 18.5 million less than last year's net revenue of DKK 102.6 million. The decline was 18.0%. Corrected for the USD exchange rate effect, net revenue in Q2 2016/17 decreased by 20.1% compared to Q2 2015/16. Revenue apportioned across RTX's business units as follows:

  • Business Communications decreased by DKK 21.1 million corresponding to a decline of 29.8%. After exchange effect the decline is 31.8%. The decreased revenue is due to changes in the supply chain, which have postponed revenue from Q2 to Q3 2016/17.

  • Design Services rose by DKK 2.5 million corresponding to an increase of 8.0%. After exchange effect the increase is 6.4%.
  • The Group's gross profit was DKK 46.8 million in 2016/17, which is a decline of DKK 14.9 million compared to DKK 61.6 million in 2015/16, and as a consequence of the revenue mix, the gross margin decreased to 55.6% from 60.1% in 2015/16.
  • In the quarter, capacity costs rose by DKK 7.2 million. This is primarily due to the significant own financed investments in development projects (headset platforms and a platform for gaming headset as mentioned in our annual report 2015/16). The high level of activity in both operations and own financed development projects has made it necessary to increase staff by 41 more employees compared to last year.

RTX INTERIM REPORT FOR THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2016/17
2/14

  • With reference to company announcement no. 18/2017 RTX has in Q2 launched a new product range complementing the existing communication solutions. The new product range consists of variants of headsets for office environments. The products were presented at RTX's stand at the CeBIT Fair in Hannover and has been well received by potential customers. In the quarter, RTX has also achieved a significant agreement with one of the leading brands within gaming headset, where RTX will deliver the wireless technology. Management expects increased revenue from this agreement in the coming financial year. These investments mean that RTX has capitalised DKK 4.8 million in the second quarter of 2016/17.
  • Operating profit (EBIT) amounted to DKK 4.7 million compared to DKK 21.8 million last year.
  • The Group's cash flow from operating activities in Q2 amounted to DKK 26.4 million compared to DKK 17.2 million in the same period last year.

SUMMARY OF THE FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 2016/17 FOR THE RTX GROUP

  • In the first six months of 2016/17 RTX realised net revenue of DKK 195.4 million, which is in line with last year's net revenue. Corrected for exchange effects and ceased income from lease the decline in revenue corresponds to 0.7%. Revenue apportioned across RTX's business units as follows:
  • Business Communications decreased by DKK 4.8 million corresponding to a decline of 3.6%. After exchange effect the decline is 5.4%.
  • Design Services rose by DKK 6.6 million corresponding to an increase of 10.7%. After exchange effect the increase is 9.3%.
  • The Group's gross profit was DKK 106.9 million compared to DKK 115.8 million in 2015/16, and as a consequence of the revenue mix, the gross margin decreased to 54.7% from 59.6% in 2015/16.
  • Compared to the first six months in 2015/16, capacity costs rose by DKK 12.1 million. This is primarily due to the significant own financed investments in development projects (headset platforms and a platform for gaming headset as mentioned in our annual report 2015/16). The high level of activity in both operations and own financed development projects has made it necessary to increase staff by 41 more employees compared to last year. Furthermore, capacity costs in Q1 2016/17 included external lease compared to last year.
  • Operating profit (EBIT) amounted to DKK 19.7 million compared to DKK 33.9 million in 2015/16.
  • The Group's cash flow from operating activities in the first six months amounted to DKK 13.8 million compared to DKK 19.9 million in the same period last year.
  • Despite the unsatisfying development in Q2 Management maintains the announced expectations for 2016/17. RTX expects revenue in the range of DKK 420-435 million, EBIT in the range of DKK 68-75 million and EBITDA in the range of DKK 73-80 million.

MANAGEMENT REPORT

COMMENTS ON DEVELOPMENTS FOR THE SECOND QUARTER OF THE 2016/17 FINANCIAL YEAR

WITH REFERENCE TO THE GROUP'S FINANCIAL FIGURES FOR THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2016/17

The Group posted revenue of DKK 84.1 million for the second quarter of the 2016/17 financial year compared to DKK 102.6 million for the same period last year, which corresponds to a decline of 18.0%. Adjusted for exchange effects the decline was 20.1%.

In Q2, Business Communications posted revenue of DKK 49.7 million compared to DKK 70.8 million in the same period last year, a decline of DKK 21.1 million corresponding to 29.8% compared to last year. Adjusted for exchange rate effects the decline was 31.8%. During the quarter, the business unit has transferred a considerable part of the supply chain to new suppliers. The effects are only expected to temporarily influence revenue and profit in Q2, and the business unit expects to catch up on the postponed revenue in Q3 2016/17. With reference to company announcement no. 18/2017, the business unit has in Q2 launched a new product range complementing the existing communication solutions. The products are variants of headsets for use in office environments. The products were launched at RTX's stand at the CeBIT fair in Hannover. As for other products from RTX, these products will be customised, distributed and sold in the customers' brands. The first launches are expected at the end of the financial year 2016/17.

Design Services posted revenue of DKK 34.4 million for the second quarter compared to DKK 31.9 million last year, an increase of DKK 2.5 million corresponding to 8.0% compared to last year. Corrected for exchange rate effects, the increase amounted to 6.4%. The increase in the quarter mainly comes both from the demand for RTX's customer-financed development projects and modules. Furthermore, a major agreement has been signed in the quarter with one of the leading brands within gaming headsets.

The total revenue decline resulted in a decrease in gross profit of DKK 14.9 million for the second quarter 2016/17 compared to last year, and as a consequence of the revenue mix, the Group's gross margin declined to 55.6% from 60.1% for the second quarter of 2015/16.

Capacity costs (i.e. other external costs and staff costs) amounted to DKK 45.7 million, which is DKK 7.2 million higher than last year. The main reasons for the increase in the capacity costs are an increased activity level and a growing order book, therefore RTX has increased staff to 228 employees in the second quarter of 2016/17 compared to 187 in the second quarter of 2015/16. Furthermore, RTX has made significant investments in own development projects.

Development costs totalled DKK 11.0 million for the second quarter compared to last year's DKK 5.4 million.

As planned, depreciation fell to DKK 1.2 million in Q2 2016/17 from DKK 1.4 million in Q2 2015/16, primarily as a consequence of the sold premises.

Operating profit (EBIT) for the second quarter of 2016/17 was DKK 4.7 million against DKK 21.8 million for the same period last year.

Net financial income resulted in a cost of DKK 0.2 million compared to the same period last year when net financial income was a cost of DKK 0.4 million. The changes are the result of USD exchange rate fluctuations.

Profit before tax for the second quarter of 2016/17 amounted to DKK 4.5 million compared to a profit of DKK 21.4 million for the same period last year.

Profit after tax for the second quarter of 2016/17 amounted to DKK 3.2 million compared to DKK 16.6 million for the same period last year.

As currently announced in Q2 the company used the authorisation from the Annual General Meeting to undertake further share buybacks during the quarter, which had a negative impact on equity. The equity ratio amounted to 84.1% at the end of the second quarter compared to 84.1% last year. The Group's balance sheet total was DKK 306.3 million at the end of the second quarter. This is a decline of DKK 14.0 million compared to the same time last year.


RTX INTERIM REPORT FOR THE SECOND QUARTER OF 2016/17
8/14

The Group realised a positive cash flow from operation activities in Q2 2016/17 of DKK 26.4 million compared to DKK 17.2 million in Q2 2015/16. Shareholder focused initiatives adopted by the Annual General Meeting affected the Group's total cash flow by DKK 33.7 million in Q2 2016/17 compared to DKK 20.4 million in 2015/16.

The Group's total cash funds and current securities less bank debt totalled DKK 159.0 million at the end of the quarter, which is a decline of DKK 24.3 million compared to the same period last year.

On 29 November 2016 Management announced the expectations for the financial year 2016/17 (cf. announcement no. 74/2016).
