RTX Q3 REVENUE AND EARNINGS GROWTH – REVENUE OUTLOOK 19/20 ADJUSTED WHILE EARNINGS OUTLOOK NARROWED
"We are satisfied by the performance in the third quarter of 2019/20. Revenue increased by 6.5% and EBITDA increased by 31% compared to last year and we continued the progress in the product development work for key framework agreements within our Enterprise, ProAudio and Healthcare segments. As mentioned in the interim report for our second quarter, given the unprecedented nature of the COVID-19 pandemic an uncertainty as to the impact on RTX's financial year 2019/20 had to be acknowledged. In the short term, we can now see that the effects of COVID-19 countermeasures globally have led to some RTX customers reducing their firm orders towards the end of the financial year so that these orders are below the customers' previous forecasts. Therefore, we are adjusting our revenue outlook for FY 19/20. However, we have not seen customers pulling out of development agreements and therefore we continue to see our business model as being fundamentally strong and supporting our growth aspirations. We are maintaining and narrowing our earnings outlook and I am pleased with the resilience of our business model so that we with prudent cost management still expect to end the year within our original earnings outlook despite COVID-19."
Peter Røpke, CEO
HIGHLIGHTS Q3 2019/20 FOR THE RTX GROUP
- Net revenue increased by 6.5% to DKK 158.5 million in Q3 2019/20 (Q3 2018/19: DKK 148.9 million). The increase is caused by the effects, during the previous quarter (Q2), of the COVID-19 outbreak and countermeasures in China on RTX's supply chain which postponed revenue from Q2 into Q3. Further, the revenue increase is driven by Enterprise Headsets and by the Healthcare segment.
- Business Communications: Revenue increased 7.8% to DKK 110.3 million. The increase is partly caused by the COV-ID-19 outbreak and countermeasures in China which postponed some deliveries from RTX's suppliers (providers of electronic manufacturing services) in China from Q2 to Q3 thereby also postponing some revenue from March (i.e. Q2) into this Q3. Moreover, the increase is partly driven by increased demand for Enterprise Headsets. Revenue from the Enterprise handsets and base stations in Q3 was impacted by quarter-on-quarter fluctuations during the ramp phase of a large framework agreement announced during 2017/18.
- Design Services: Revenue increased by 3.5% to DKK 48.2 million driven by increased recurring revenues from product sales and royalty, partly offset by lower revenues from engineering services (hourly-based engineering). This is a result of the strategy to increasingly focus on generating recurring revenues instead of selling engineering services and the result of some engineering resources being redeployed to assist with executing development activities within Business Communications related to both new and existing framework agreements in order to reduce an increase in the overall cost base in light of the global uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Within Design Service revenue especially increased within the Healthcare segment.
REVENUE PER QUARTER
EBITDA PER QUARTER
EBIT PER QUARTER
FX corrected revenue development amounted to an increase of 4.7% as revenue compared to last year was positively impacted by the USD exchange rate level to a minor degree.
- Gross profit increased by 2.4% to DKK 85.9 million in Q3 2019/20 (Q3 2018/19: DKK 83.9 million). The gross margin decreased by 2.2%-points to 54.2% (Q3 2018/19: 56.4%) impacted by the revenue mix.
- Operating performance improved with EBITDA increasing by 31.1% to DKK 38.9 million in Q3 2019/20 (Q3 2018/19: DKK 29.7 million). EBIT increased by 24.2% to DKK 32.6 million in Q3 2019/20 (Q3 2018/19: DKK 26.2 million). EBITDA and EBIT are impacted by the growth in revenue and gross profit as well as the development in capacity costs which are impacted by increased costs related to ramp-up of activities and investments in capacity related to the major framework agreements announced over the last years, but counterbalanced by tight management of the cost base considering the global uncertainty stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic. The average number of FTEs reached 291 in Q3 2019/20 compared to 281 in Q3 2018/19. Also, EBITDA and EBIT are impacted by implementation of IFRS 16 regarding capitalization of leasing costs, which increases EBITDA (and to a minor degree EBIT).
- Cash flows from operating activities (CFFO) increased to DKK 48.2 million in Q3 2019/20 compared to DKK 34.5 million in Q3 2018/19 driven by developments in earnings and working capital fluctuations.
HIGHLIGHTS 9M (FIRST NINE MONTHS) 2019/20 FOR THE RTX GROUP
- Net revenue decreased by 0.9% to DKK 399.5 million in 9M 2019/20 (9m 2018/19: DKK 403.2 million) with revenue growth within Business Communications (Enterprise segment) being counterbalanced by a revenue decrease within Design Services due to lower revenues from engineering services compared to last year.
- Business Communications: Revenue increased by 2.4% to DKK 278.0 million positively impacted by growth within Enterprise Headsets partially counterbalanced by quarter-on-quarter fluctuations during the ramp phase of a large framework agreement announced during 2017/18 within Enterprise handsets and base stations.
- Design Services: Revenue decreased 7.9% to DKK 121.5 million. Recurring revenues from product sales and royalties increased in line with the strategy to increase resource scalability within Design Services. Conversely, revenues from engineering services (hourly-based engineering) decreased compared to last year as the development activities in the division focus increasingly on generating recurring revenues instead of executing pure engineering projects and as some engineering resources have been redeployed to assist with executing development activities within Business Communications related to both new and existing framework agreements in order to reduce an increase in the overall cost base in light of the global uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Within Design Services the Healthcare segment has performed stronger than the ProAudio segment impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
FX corrected revenue development in 9M 2019/20 amounted to a decrease of 3.1% as revenue compared to last year was positively impacted by the USD exchange rate level.
- Gross profit decreased by 0.6% to DKK 227.7 million in 9M 2019/20 (9M 2018/19: DKK 229.0 million). The gross margin was largely unchanged with a small increase by 0.2%-points to 57.0% (9M 2018/19: 56.8%).
- • EBITDA increased by 13.1% to DKK 71.7 million (9M 2018/19: DKK 63.4 million). EBITDA is impacted by increased staff costs related to ramp-up of activities for the major framework agreements announced over the last year. Counterbalancing this is tight management of the cost base in light of the global uncertainty stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic. This includes lower discretionary spend and substituting additional headcount investments with internal redeployment of employees. Further, EBITDA is impacted by capitalized development costs where RTX has continued to fund development activities of e.g. wireless headset models and ProAudio product solutions. EBIT increased by 1.8% to DKK 54.6 million in 9M 2019/20 (9M 2018/19: DKK 53.6 million) impacted by increasing depreciation and amortization reflecting the investments in RTX product solutions over the last years. Also, EBITDA and EBIT are impacted by implementation of IFRS 16 regarding capitalization of leasing costs, which increases EBITDA (and to a minor degree EBIT).
- Cash flows from operating activities (CFFO) amounted to DKK 78.4 million in 9M 2019/20 compared to DKK 62.4 million in 9M 2018/19.
OUTLOOK FOR 2019/20
- The COVID-19 pandemic affects societies and industries globally in 2020. RTX's key priorities in this situation remain the health and safety of our employees and societies at large, as well as protecting the commercial and financial health of our business. RTX remains fully operational and focus on assisting our customers as well as on the most important development activities.
- RTX Q3 was affected by COVID-19 in a number of ways. Deliveries that were postponed from Q2 into Q3 due to COVID-19 countermeasures in China affecting deliveries from Chinese suppliers in March had a positive effect on Q3. Since March, the manufacturing sites of our suppliers have been and remain fully operational. Further, Q3 was affected by high demand for products in the Healthcare segment (products used in intensive care monitoring systems) and for Enterprise Headsets (increased distance working). Conversely, products within the ProAudio segment being used for live events have seen decreased demand in Q3.
- RTX's balance sheet and liquidity remain very strong with a significant net cash position.
-
So far during the global COVID-19 pandemic, RTX has maintained our outlook for the year. However, as noted in the company announcement of the Q2 results (cf. company announcement 30/2020), given the unprecedented nature of the COVID-19 situation globally an uncertainty as to the potential impact from the COVID-19 on RTX's FY 2019/20 had to be acknowledged. With increased visibility regarding the end of the financial year 2019/20, RTX adjusts and narrows its expectations regarding revenue while maintaining and narrowing expectations regarding earnings (EBITDA and EBIT) as detailed below.
-
The adjusted and narrowed outlook for revenue is DKK 550-570 million for FY 2019/20. While certain RTX products (e.g. Enterprise Headsets) and segments (e.g. Healthcare) have benefitted from the COVID-19 situation, other segments will be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic towards the end of the financial year. Within Pro-Audio and Enterprise products the effects of COVID-19 countermeasures globally have led to RTX customers reducing their firm orders towards the end of the financial year so that these orders are below the customers' previous forecasts.
- The maintained, but narrowed, outlook for EBITDA is DKK 105-115 million and for EBIT DKK 80-90 million for FY 2019/20. Both these ranges are within the ranges in the original outlook. With careful management of the cost base e.g. regarding new headcount investments and various discretionary spend, RTX expects to be able to maintain a solid earnings level despite revenues being lower than originally expected. Among other things, RTX has redeployed employees internally to maintain full momentum on the development activities for the large framework agreements which hold significant longerterm growth potential for RTX thereby reducing the need for new headcount investments.
- The COVID-19 pandemic increases uncertainty related to the global flow of goods (sporadic lockdowns etc.). The outlook for 2019/20 assumes that no unforeseen events occur causing supply or logistics disruptions.

Management Report
The Board of Directors of RTX A/S has today considered and adopted the Group's interim report for the third quarter of 2019/20 (covering the period 1 April 2020 to 30 June 2020). Comments on developments for the third quarter (Q3) and first nine months (9M) of the 2019/20 financial year follow below.
Q3 REVENUE GROWTH OF 6.5%
The RTX Group realized revenue of DKK 158.5 million – an increase of 6.5% (Q3 2018/19: DKK 148.9 million. Corrected for exchange rate effects the increase equals 4.7% compared to last year. For 9M 2019/20, revenues decreased by 0.9% to DKK 399.5 million (9M 2018/19: DKK 403.2 million).
Revenue in Business Communications grew by 7.8% to DKK 110.3 million in Q3 2019/20 (Q3 2018/19: DKK 102.3 million). Corrected for exchange rate effects the increase was 5.9%. The increase is partly caused by the COVID-19 outbreak and countermeasures in China which postponed some deliveries from RTX's suppliers (providers of electronic manufacturing services) in China from Q2 to Q3 thereby also postponing some revenue from March (i.e. Q2) into this Q3. RTX's supplier base has been fully operational since March and the delivery situation thus remains stabilized. Moreover, the increase is partly driven by increased demand for Enterprise Headsets. Revenue from the Enterprise handsets and base stations in Q3 was impacted by quarter-on-quarter fluctuations during the ramp phase of a large framework agreement announced during 2017/18. For 9M 2019/20, revenue in Business Communications increased by 2.4% to DKK 278.0 (9M 2018/19: DKK 271.3 million).
During the quarter – under ways of working impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic – RTX staff continued development activities within the Enterprise segment for renewal of product ranges under renewed large older framework agreements. Further, development activities related to the newest framework agreement (announced at the end of 2018/19) continued. Finally, development of own financed product ranges – including for instance wireless headsets models and deployment tools for our Enterprise suite of products – continued in the quarter.
Design Services realized revenue of DKK 48.2 million, corresponding to an increase of 3.5% (Q3 2018/19: DKK 46.6 million). Corrected for exchange rate effects the increase was 2.1%. The increase is driven by increased recurring revenues from product sales and royalty, partly offset by lower revenues from engineering services (hourly-based engineering). This is a result of the strategy to increasingly focus on generating recurring revenues instead of selling engineering services and the result of some engineering resources being redeployed to assist with executing development activities within Business Communications related to both new and existing framework agreements in order to reduce an increase in the overall cost base in light of the global uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Within Design Services revenue especially increased within the Healthcare segment with RTX products for patient monitoring systems. For 9M 2019/20 revenues decreased by 7.9% to DKK 121.5 million (9M 2018/19: DKK 131.9 million) also driven by increased recurring revenues from product sales and royalty and by lower revenues from engineering services.
During the quarter, development activities continued under the larger framework agreement announced at the end of 2018/19 regarding product development for a large international player in the ProAudio segment based on RTX's conference platform. Product launch is expected before the end of 2020. Additionally, RTX has finalized activities to take over the full supply chain and delivery for a full product for

1) Business Communications
2) Design Services
3) Cash flow from operations
RTX's main customer within the Healthcare segment. Initial deliveries were made, as planned, during Q3 and going forward RTX will supply the full product. Longer term, these are important stepping stones in the productization strategy within Design Services. The unit also continues product development activities refining the unique SheersoundTM and SheerlinkTM platforms providing RTX's current and future product customers within ProAudio with strong wireless performance and significantly shorter time to market for wireless solutions and creating significant customer interest.
COSTS AND EARNINGS
The gross profit of the Group increased by 2.4% to DKK 85.9 million in Q3 2019/20 (Q3 2018/19: DKK 83.9 million). The gross margin decreased by 2.2%-points to 54.2% (Q3 2018/19: 56.4%) impacted by the revenue mix. In 9M 2019/20, gross profit amounted to DKK 227.7 million (9M 2018/19: DKK 229.0 million) corresponding to a largely unchanged gross margin of 57.0% (9M 2018/19: 56.8%).
Capacity costs in Q3 amounted to DKK 54.6 million (before capitalization of development costs) compared to DKK 59.4 million in the same period last year. The capacity cost level is impacted by the ramp-up of activities and investments in capacity related to the major framework agreements announced over the last years. Reflecting this, the average number of FTEs was 291 in Q3 2019/20 (Q3 2018/19: 281). However, during the quarter, the Group delayed additional headcount investments due to the evolving COVID-19 situation and instead redeployed employees internally to maintain full momentum on the development activities for the large framework agreements which hold significant growth potential for RTX. Also, various discretionary spend has been managed tightly considering the global uncertainty stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic. Further, capacity costs in the quarter were impacted by lower costs related to expected annual bonusses. Capacity costs are also impacted by implementation of IFRS 16 regarding capitalization of leasing costs, which decreases capacity costs (other external costs) while increasing depreciations and interest costs (refer to note 1).
As described above for both business units, RTX continued to fund development activities of wireless headsets, product deployment tools, ProAudio product solutions etc. during the quarter. Therefore, the Group capitalized development costs of DKK 7.7 million in Q3 2019/20 (Q3 2018/19: DKK 5.1 million).
Operating performance before depreciations and amortizations (EBITDA) improved by 31.1% to DKK 38.9 million in Q3 2019/20 (Q3 2018/19: DKK 29.7 million) due to the revenue growth and the careful capacity cost management. Thus, the EBITDA margin in Q3 reached 24.6% (Q3 2018/19: 19.9%). For 9M 2019/20 EBITDA increased by 13.1% to DKK 71.7 million (9M 2018/19: DKK 63.4 million) corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 17.9% (9M 2018/19: 15.7%). The implementation of IFRS 16 (capitalization of leasing costs) in 2019/20 has improved EBITDA compared to last year.
Depreciations and amortizations increased to DKK 6.3 million in Q3 2019/20 (Q3 2018/19: DKK 3.4 million) with the development primarily caused by amortization of further own financed development projects and by increasing depreciations due to implementation of IFRS 16.
Operating profit (EBIT) increased by 24.2% to DKK 32.6 million in Q3 2019/20 (Q3 2018/19: DKK 26.2 million). For 9M 2019/20, EBIT amounted to DKK 54.6 million in 9M 2019/20 (9M 2018/19: DKK 53.6 million) impacted by increasing depreciation and amortization reflecting the investments in RTX product solutions over the last years. EBIT is only impacted by IFRS 16 implementation to a limited degree.
Net financial items in Q3 amounted to DKK 1.2 million (Q3 2018/19: DKK -0.8 million). The development in the quarter
is positively impacted by adjustments to the value of investments in the trading portfolio to fair value at the balance sheet date driven by the decrease in bond interest rates during the quarter (leading to increases in bond prices). Financial items are negatively impacted by exchange rate adjustments of balance sheet items during the quarter due to decreasing USD exchange rate partly counterbalanced by currency (USD) hedging under which the Group has hedged part of the expected USD net cash inflow from operations. For 9M 2019/20, net financial items amount to DKK -4.1 million (9M 2018/19: DKK 2.0 million) negatively impacted by exchange rate adjustments of balance sheet items during the period due to decreasing USD exchange rate (partly counterbalanced by USD hedging) and by implementation of IFRS 16 regarding capitalization of leasing. The trading portfolio has had a neutral impact on net financial items for 9M 2019/20 as adjustments to fair value at the balance sheet date and dividends (interest) received largely net out.
Profit before tax for Q3 of 2019/20 increased to DKK 33.8 million (Q3 2018/19: DKK 25.4 million). For 9M 2019/20, profit before tax amounted to DKK 50.6 million (9M 2018/19: DKK 55.6 million) and is marginally negatively impacted by the IFRS 16 implementation.
EQUITY, ASSETS AND CASH FLOW
At the end of the third quarter of 2019/20, the Group's equity ratio amounted to 65.7% (Q3 2018/19: 73.4%). The equity ratio has increased with the profits generated and decreased with distribution of dividends and share buy-backs during 2019/20. Further, the ratio has decreased due to the implementation of IFRS 16 which has increased tangible assets (primarily leased real estate) and calculated debt from capitalized leasing costs (refer to note 1). The total assets were DKK 499.7 million at the end of the third quarter in 2019/20 compared DKK 441.8 million at the same time last year, with the increase caused by the implementation of IFRS 16 and a higher cash position.
In Q3 2019/20, the Group continued to realize positive cash flow from operations (CFFO) of DKK 48.2 million (Q3 2018/19: DKK 34.5 million) aided by the earnings generated and the working capital development. In 9M 2019/20, cash flow from operations reached DKK 78.4 million (9M 2018/19: DKK 62.4 million).
RTX's balance sheet and liquidity thus remain very strong with a significant net cash position.
The Group's total cash funds and current securities
less bank debt amounted to DKK 210.5 million at the end of Q3 2019/20 (Q3 2018/19: DKK 190.0 million). The level is positively impacted by cash generated by operations and negatively impacted by distribution to shareholders via dividends and share buy-back programs during 2019/20. For 9M 2019/20, RTX has paid out dividends of DKK 21.0 million (9M 2018/19: DKK 17.1 million) and bought back shares for DKK 40.6 million (9M 2018/19: DKK 20.0 million). RTX share buy-back programme has been suspended since 13 March 2020 (cf. company announcement 25/2020) solely as a precautionary measure due to the global uncertainty created by the COVID-19 situation.
OUTLOOK FOR THE 2019/20 FINANCIAL YEAR
So far during the global COVID-19 pandemic, RTX has maintained our outlook for the year. However, as noted in the company announcement of the Q2 results (cf. company announcement 30/2020), given the unprecedented nature of the COVID-19 situation globally an uncertainty as to the potential impact from the COVID-19 on RTX's FY 2019/20 had to be acknowledged. With increased visibility regarding the end of the financial year 2019/20, RTX adjusts and narrows its expectations regarding revenue while maintaining and narrowing expectations regarding earnings (EBITDA and EBIT) as detailed below.
The adjusted and narrowed outlook for revenue is DKK 550-570 million for FY 2019/20. While certain RTX products (e.g. Enterprise Headsets) and segments (e.g. Healthcare) have benefitted from the COVID-19 situation, other segments will be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic towards the end of the financial year. Within ProAudio and Enterprise products the effects of COVID-19 countermeasures globally have led to RTX customers reducing their firm orders towards the end of the financial year so that these orders are below the customers' previous forecasts.
The maintained, but narrowed, outlook for EBITDA is DKK 105-115 million and for EBIT DKK 80-90 million for FY 2019/20. Both these ranges are within the ranges in the original outlook. With careful management of the cost base e.g. regarding new headcount investments and various discretionary spend, RTX expects to be able to maintain a solid earnings level despite revenues being lower than originally expected. Among other things, RTX has redeployed employees internally to maintain full momentum on the development activities for the large framework agreements which hold significant longer-term growth potential for RTX thereby reducing the need for new headcount investments.
The COVID-19 pandemic increases uncertainty related to the global flow of goods (sporadic lockdowns etc.). The outlook for 2019/20 assumes that no unforeseen events occur causing supply or logistics disruptions.
SHARE CAPITAL REDUCTION COMPLETED DURING Q3
As adopted at the Annual General Meeting on 23 January 2020 and as confirmed by the Extraordinary General Meeting on 3 March 2020, RTX's share capital has been reduced by nominal DKK 1,500,000 via cancellation of 300,000 treasury shares acquired through share buy-back programmes. The reduction was finally completed and registered in Q3 (on 15 April 2020 - cf. company announcement 28/2020).

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The interim report is presented in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the EU and additional Danish disclosure requirements for interim reporting of listed companies. An interim report has not been prepared for the Parent.
Except for the effects mentioned below, the accounting policies applied in this interim report are consistent with those applied in the Company's 2018/19 annual report. We refer to the 2018/19 annual report for a more detailed description of the accounting policies.
In 9M 2019/20 the Group has entered into commercial hedging transactions. The derivatives are measured at fair value at 30 June 2020 and fair value changes of derivatives which are classified as and qualifies for recognition as future cash flow hedges are recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged transactions are realized. Fair value of other derivatives are recognized in the income statement.
CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
IASB has published a number of new or amendments standards and interpretations effective for RTX A/S for the financial year 2019/20. Of these only IFRS 16 Leases has had material impact on the Group's financial statements.
IFRS 16 - LEASES
Starting 1 October 2019 RTX implemented IFRS 16 – Leases. The standard has changed the accounting principles for leasing contracts. IFRS 16 requires all leasing contracts irrespective of type - with a few exceptions - to be included in the balance sheet of lessee as a right-of-use asset with an associated lease liability.
The income statement is affected as leasing costs are split into two elements - depreciations and interest expenses - as opposed to previously, where the costs for operational leasing were reported as other external expenses. Over time the impact on profit/loss will be neutral but frontloading of interest expenses result in a timing effect. The right-of-use assets are depreciated over the term of the leasing contracts.
Net cash flow remains unaffected, however implementing IFRS 16 affects the cash flow statement as lease payments are split into interests and repayment of lease liabilities.
RTX implemented the new standard using the modified retrospective approach with right-of-use assets measured as if IFRS 16 had been applied since the lease commencement date. The lease liabilities have been measured at the present value of the future lease payments discounted using an appropriate RTX incremental borrowing rate. The effect of transition has been recognized to the opening balance of retained earnings in equity. Comparative information has not been restated and is presented as in the annual report 2018/19 in accordance with the previous standard on leasing, IAS 17.
At implementation of IFRS 16, the following practical expedients have been applied:
- A single discount rate to has been applied to a portfolio of leases with reasonable similar characteristics
- Low value leases and leases with a lease term ending within 12 months of 1 October 2019 have not been recognized as a right-of-use asset and lease liability but expensed on a straight line basis.
- Initial direct costs have been excluded from the measurement of the right-of-use asset
- Hindsight has been used to determine the lease term for contracts containing options to extend or terminate the lease contract
When calculating the lease liability, future lease payments for the lease term is discounted using an appropriate RTX incremental borrowing rate. Service components separable from leasing components have been excluded from the future lease payments and extension or termination options have been included when determining the lease term if exercise of the options is considered reasonably certain.
In implementing IFRS 16 at 1 October 2019, RTX has recognized a right-of-use asset of DKK 40.8 million mainly relating to lease of premises (DKK 40.4 million) and an associated lease liability of DKK 43.5 million. Retained earnings in equity is reduced by DKK 2.1 million and deferred tax is reduced by DKK 0.6 million. The weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied to lease liabilities at implementation 1 October 2019 was 4.1%.
The difference between the operating lease commitments disclosed according to IAS 17 in the 2018/19 annual report and lease liabilities recognized according to IFRS 16 in the opening balance at 1 October 2019 is specified as follows:
| Amounts in DKK '000 | Opening balance |
|---|---|
| Operating lease commitments 30 September 2019 (IAS17) | 34,306 |
| Discounted using incremental borrowing rate at 1 October 2019 | -8,286 |
| Low-value and short term-leases | -290 |
| Reasonable certain extension options included | 17,813 |
| Lease liabilities recognized at 1 October 2019 | 43,543 |

2 ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
The preparation of interim reports requires management to make financial estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policy and recognised assets, obligations, income and expenses. Actual results might be different from these estimates.
Except for estimates applied when determining lease term related to IFRS 16 (refer to note 1), the material estimates that management make when applying the accounting principles of the Group and the material uncertainty connected with these estimates and assumptions are unchanged in the preparation of the interim report compared to the preparation of the annual report as per 30 September 2019.
