COVID-19 in China postpones RTX Q2 revenue – outlook maintained
"Our Q2 was affected by deliveries moving from March and into our Q3 due to the temporary effects of the COVID-19 situation in China on our supply chain thereby postponing revenues from Q2 to Q3. With the COVID-19 situation now unfolding globally these are unprecedented times. I am impressed by the way in which our employees across the world are handling this situation with commitment to RTX and to our customers and with flexibility to find new ways of working. Coupled with the strong position of our customers and the resilience of RTX's business model, the dedication of our employees is the basis for RTX being able to maintain our 2019/20 outlook at present. I acknowledge the fundamental uncertainty in the global business environment, and this may impact our financial year 2019/20, however, with the present visibility we are able to maintain our outlook for 2019/20."
Peter Røpke, CEO
HIGHLIGHTS Q2 2019/20 FOR THE RTX GROUP
- • Net revenue decreased by 18.3% to DKK 112.7 million in Q2 2019/20 (Q2 2018/19: DKK 137.9 million). The decline is primarily caused by the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak and countermeasures in China on RTX's supply chain which has postponed revenue from Q2 into Q3 mainly in Business Communications.
- • Business Communications: Revenue decreased by 14.8% to DKK 78.2 million. The decline is caused by the COVID-19 outbreak and countermeasures in China which postponed the opening of RTX's suppliers (providers of electronic manufacturing services) in China after the Chinese New Year. This has postponed production and thus deliveries from March 2020 into RTX's Q3 of 2019/20 leading to revenues also being postponed into Q3. The underlying business performed solidly in Q2, however, with quarter-on-quarter fluctuations during the ramp phase of the large framework agreement announced during 2017/18 impacting revenues from these large framework agreements in Q2.
- • Design Services: Revenue decreased by 25.2% to DKK 34.5 million caused by lower revenues from engineering services (hourly-based engineering), partly due to delayed finalization of certain engineering projects for customers and partly as a result of the development activities in the division focusing increasingly on generating recurring revenues instead of executing pure engineering projects.
FX corrected revenue development amounted to a decrease of 20.2% as revenue compared to last year was positively impacted by the USD exchange rate development to a minor degree.
REVENUE PER QUARTER
EBITDA PER QUARTER
EBIT PER QUARTER
- • Gross profit decreased by 15.4% to DKK 66.3 million in Q2 2019/20 (Q2 2018/19: DKK 78.3 million). The gross margin increased by 2.0%-points to 58.8% (Q2 2018/19: 56.8%) impacted by the revenue mix.
- • Operating performance was impacted by the lower revenue with EBITDA reaching DKK 11.3 million in Q2 2019/20 (Q2 2018/19: DKK 23.1 million) and EBIT reaching DKK 5.7 million in Q2 2019/20 (Q2 2018/19: DKK 19.6 million). In addition, to the impact from the revenue development, EBITDA and EBIT are impacted by higher capacity costs related to ramp-up of activities and investments in capacity related to the major framework agreements announced over the last years. Thus, the average number of FTEs reached 292 in Q2 2019/20 compared to 272 in Q2 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 23.7 million in Q2 2019/20 compared to DKK 15.0 million in Q2 2018/19 impacted by developments in earnings and working capital fluctuations.
RTX POSITIONED TO MANAGE UNCERTAIN IMPACT FROM COVID-19 SITUATION
• RTX's key priorities during the unprecedented global COVID-19 outbreak are the health and safety of our employees and societies at large, as well as protecting the commercial and financial health of our business. We are implementing significant actions to protect our people and our business in the short term while still ensuring the long-term health and development of RTX.
- At present the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak and countermeasures on RTX's business is difficult to predict as various effects will impact over different time horizons. In Q2, postponed deliveries due to the delayed opening of RTX's suppliers in China after the Chinese New Year caused revenues to be postponed from Q2 to Q3 2019/20. After this impact in February and March 2020, the manufacturing sites of our suppliers are now again fully operational and keeping up with demand.
- In the near-term, Q3 and the early part of Q4 2019/20, we see increased demand for RTX's products within healthcare (products for critical patient monitoring solutions) and business headsets as societies around the world increase intensive care capacity and as companies and organizations prepare their employees for increasingly working from home. RTX is ramping up short-term supply chain capacity to meet this increased demand. Conversely, products related to large scale events in the ProAudio segment see reduced demand in the near term.
- With the impact from these directly affected segments and product types and with current visibility, RTX is maintaining the communicated outlook for 2019/20. However, given the unprecedented nature of the COVID-19 situation a fundamental uncertainty as to any impact on other segments must be acknowledged. While RTX's customers are typically strongly positioned in their respective industries, they may yet experience a further near-term impact from the COVID-19 situation which could impact RTX's sales in 2019/20. Similarly, a potential tightening of global supply chains for key components or restricted logistics flows as a result of the COVID-19 situation could impact deliveries and thus revenues in 2019/20. RTX is
thus monitoring the situation closely and taking mitigating actions where possible. The outlook for the financial year assumes that RTX can maintain production and logistics flows at current and forecasted levels without major supply disruptions and that additional near-term impact on customer demand is limited.
- The mid- to longer-term impact from the COVID-19 outbreak, countermeasures and resulting economic development is also uncertain. While a longer-term economic downturn will also affect RTX's business to a certain degree, certain structural changes resulting from COVID-19 countermeasures within societies and organizations are likely to continue to be advantageous to RTX within areas such as headsets (Enterprise framework agreements), conference microphones (ProAudio framework agreement) and healthcare. Additionally, RTX's business development with several new large framework agreements added within the last 2-3 years will to a certain degree increase RTX's resilience against any adverse effects from a global economic downturn.
- RTX's balance sheet and liquidity remain very strong with a significant net cash position. As a precautionary measure to safeguard the strong cash position, the Board of Directors of RTX suspended the ongoing share buy-back programme until further notice on 13 March 2020.
- Considering COVID-19 and its impact on the global economy, RTX is actively managing its cost base and has therefore among other things delayed additional headcount investments 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.
HIGHLIGHTS H1 (FIRST SIX MONTHS) 2019/20 FOR THE RTX GROUP
- • Net revenue decreased by 5.2% to DKK 241.0 million in H1 2019/20 (H1 2018/19: DKK 254.4 million) mainly due to revenue being postponed from Q2 to Q3 2019/20 due to delayed start of RTX suppliers in China after the Chinese New Year due to COVID-19 countermeasures in China.
- • Business Communications: Revenue decreased by 0.8% to DKK 167.7 million positively impacted by solid underlying growth of approx. 13% compared to last year especially from the large framework agreements, however negatively impacted by postponements of deliveries from Q2 to Q3 2019/20 due to COVID-19 impact on the supply chain in China.
- • Design Services: Revenue decreased by 14.0% to DKK 73.3 million. While recurring revenues from product sales and royalties increased in line with the strategy to increase resource scalability within Design Service, 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.
FX corrected revenue development in H1 2019/20 amounted to a decrease of 7.6% as revenue compared to last year was positively impacted by the USD exchange rate development to a minor degree.
• Operating performance was impacted by the lower revenue level. Thus, EBITDA decreased by 2.8% to DKK 32.7 million (H1 2018/19: DKK 33.7 million) while EBIT decreased by 19.7% to DKK 22.0 million in H1 2019/20 (H1 2018/19: DKK 27.4 million). In addition to the revenue development, EBITDA and EBIT are impacted by increased capacity costs related to ramp-up of activities and investments in capacity related to the major framework agreements announced over the latest year. 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 30.1 million in H1 2019/20 compared to DKK 28.0 million in H1 2018/19.
OUTLOOK FOR 2019/20
• As detailed above, the impact on RTX from the COVID-19 situation is mixed. With current knowledge and visibility RTX maintains the expectations for revenue between DKK 620-650 million, EBITDA between DKK 105-120 million and EBIT between DKK 75-90 million for the financial year 2019/20. However, given the unprecedented nature of the COVID-19 situation an uncertainty as to a potential future impact from COVID-19 on RTX's financial year 2019/20 must be acknowledged. As stated in the annual report for 2018/19, it is expected that the revenue and earnings distribution over 2019/20 will be relatively backloaded towards the end of the year.

Management Report
The Board of Directors of RTX A/S has today considered and adopted the Group's interim report for the second quarter (Q2) and first half (H1) of 2019/20 (covering the period 1 October 2019 to 31 March 2020). Comments on developments in this period follow below.
COVID-19 SITUATION IN CHINA POSTPONING REVENUES INTO Q3
In Q2 2019/20, the Group posted revenue of DKK 112.7 million corresponding to a decrease of 18.3% (Q2 2018/19: DKK 137.9 million). Corrected for exchange rate effects the decrease equals 20.2% compared to last year. In H1 2019/20, revenues decreased by 5.2% to DKK 241.0 million (H1 2018/19: DKK 254.4 million).
Revenue in Business Communications decreased by 14.8% in Q2 2019/20, reaching DKK 78.2 million (Q2 2018/19: DKK 91.8 million). Corrected for exchange rate effects the decrease was 17.0%. The decline is caused by the COVID-19 outbreak and countermeasures in China which postponed the opening of RTX's suppliers (providers of electronic manufacturing services) in China after the Chinese New Year. This has postponed production and thus deliveries from March 2020 into RTX's Q3 of 2019/20 leading to revenues also being postponed into Q3. The underlying business performed solidly in Q2, however, with quarter-on-quarter fluctuations during the ramp phase of the large framework agreement announced during 2017/18 impacting revenues from these large framework agreements in Q2 2019/20 compared to previous quarters. In H1 2019/20, revenue decreased by 0.8% to DKK 167.7 million (H1 2018/19: DKK 169.0 million) positively impacted by solid underlying growth of
approx. 13% compared to last year especially from the large framework agreements, however negatively impacted by postponements of deliveries from Q2 to Q3 2019/20 due to COVID-19 impact on the supply chain in China. The delivery situation from RTX's supplier base in China is now stabilized.
Despite COVID-19 countermeasures leading to new ways of working, Business Communications remained fully committed to serving our Enterprise customers both in ongoing business and in the development activities for new products. Thus, development activities for renewal of product ranges under renewed large older framework agreements continued during the quarter. 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 wireless headsets models and location beacons – continued in the quarter. The development of further product variants and features within wireless headsets continues to create significant customer interest within the Enterprise segment.
In Q2 of 2019/20, Design Services posted revenue of DKK 34.5 million, corresponding to a decrease of 25.2% compared to the same period last year (Q2 2018/19: DKK 46.2 million). Corrected for exchange rate effects the decrease was 26.5%. In line with the strategy to increase recurring revenue to increase resource scalability within Design Services, aggregate revenues from product sales and royalties increased during the quarter. However, revenues from engineering services (hourly-based engineering) decreased. The decrease was partly due to delayed finalization of certain engineering projects for customers and partly as a result of the development activities in the division focusing increasingly on generating recurring revenues instead of executing pure engineering projects and of some engineering resources also being redeployed to assist with

executing development activities within Business Communications related to both new and existing framework agreements. In H1 2019/20 revenues decreased by 14.0% to DKK 73.3 million (H1 2018/19: DKK 85.3 million) due to the same factors as driving the development in Q2.
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, development activities continued to take over the full supply chain and delivery for a full product for RTX's main customer within the Healthcare segment which will happen over the coming months. 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 Pro-Audio with strong wireless performance and significantly shorter time to market for wireless solutions and creating significant customer interest.
COSTS AND EARNINGS
The lower revenue level in Q2 decreased the gross profit of the Group by 15.4% to DKK 66.3 million in Q2 2019/20 (Q2 2018/19: DKK 78.3 million). Aided by the revenue mix, the gross margin increased by 2.0%-points to 58.8% (Q2 2018/19: 56.8%). In H1 2019/20, gross profit amounted to DKK 141.8 million (H1 2018/19: DKK 145.1 million) corresponding to a gross margin of 58.8%, an increase of 1.8%-points (H1 2018/19: 57.0%).
Capacity costs, consisting of staff costs and other external expenses, in Q2 amounted to DKK 61.0 million (before capitalization of development costs) compared to DKK 60.4 million in the same period last year. The capacity cost level is increased due to 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 increased to 292 in Q2 2019/20 (Q2 2018/19: 272). 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. 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, beacons, ProAudio product solutions etc. during the quarter. Therefore, the Group capitalized development costs of DKK 6.0 million in Q2 2019/20 (Q2 2018/19: DKK 5.1 million).
Operating performance before depreciations and amortizations (EBITDA) reached DKK 11.3 million in Q2 2019/20 (Q2 2018/19: DKK 23.1 million) impacted by the lower revenues due to COVID-19 related supply chain delays postponing revenues into Q3. Thus, the EBITDA margin in Q2 reached 10.0% (Q2 2018/19: 16.7%). For H1 2019/20 EBITDA reached DKK 32.7 million (Q2 2018/19: DKK 33.7 million) corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 13.6% (H1 2018/19: 13.2%). 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 5.6 million in Q2 2019/20 (Q2 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) reached DKK 5.7 million in Q2 2019/20 (Q2 2018/19: DKK 19.6 million) and DKK 22,0 million in H1 2019/20 (H1 2018/19: DKK 27.4 million). EBIT is only impacted by IFRS 16 implementation to a limited degree.
Net financial items in Q2 amounted to DKK -2.5 million (Q2 2018/19: DKK 2.1 million). The development is primarily due to adjustments to the value of investments in the trading portfolio to fair value at the balance sheet date driven by the increase in bond interest rates during March. Further, the implementation of IFRS 16 decreases net financial items in 2019/20.
Profit before tax for Q2 of 2019/20 amounted to DKK 3.3 million (Q2 2018/19: DKK 21.7 million) and to DKK 16.8 million for H1 2019/20 (H1 2018/19: DKK 30.2 million) and is marginally negatively impacted by the IFRS 16 implementation.
EQUITY, ASSETS AND CASH FLOW
At the end of the second quarter of 2019/20, the Group's equity ratio amounted to 69.7% (Q2 2018/19: 76.9%). The equity ratio has increased with the profits generated and decreased with distribution of dividends and share buy-back programmes. Moreover, 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 430.2 million at the end of the second quarter in 2019/20 compared DKK 405.5 million at the same time last year, with the increase caused by the implementation of IFRS 16.
In Q2 2019/20, the Group continued to realize positive cash flow from operations (CFFO) of DKK 23.7 million (Q2 2018/19: DKK 15.0 million) aided by the working capital development. In H1 2019/20, cash flow from operations reached DKK 30.1 million (H1 2018/19: DKK 28.0 million).
The Group's total cash funds and current securities less bank debt amounted to DKK 172.3 million at the end of Q2 2019/20 (Q2 2018/19: DKK 171.1 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 the quarter, RTX paid out dividends of DKK 21.0 million (Q2 2018/19: DKK 17.1 million). Further, under a share buy-back programme, RTX acquired a total of 132,600 shares for a total value of DKK 28.0 million during Q2 (Q2 2018/19: DKK 10.9 million). The share buy-back programme was suspended on 13 March 2020 (cf. company announcement 25/2020) as a precautionary measure due to the global uncertainty created by the COVID-19 situation.
MANAGING THE COVID-19 SITUATION
Please refer to the section "RTX positioned to manage uncertain impact from COVID-19 situation" on page 2 of this interim report.
OUTLOOK FOR THE 2019/20 FINANCIAL YEAR
With the impact from the COVID-19 situation detailed above with both positive and negative impact on RTX and with current visibility, RTX is maintaining the communicated outlook for 2019/20. However, given the unprecedented nature of the COVID-19 situation a fundamental uncertainty as to any impact on other segments must be acknowledged. While RTX's customers are typically strongly positioned in their respective industries, they may yet experience a further near-term impact from the COVID-19 situation which
could impact RTX's sales in 2019/20. Similarly, a potential tightening of global supply chains for key components or restricted logistics flows as a result of the COVID-19 situation could impact deliveries and thus revenues in 2019/20. RTX is thus monitoring the situation closely and taking mitigating actions where possible.
Therefore, with current knowledge and visibility, RTX maintains the expectations for revenue between DKK 620- 650 million, EBITDA between DKK 105-120 million and EBIT between DKK 75-90 million for the financial year 2019/20. However, given the unprecedented nature of the COVID-19 situation an uncertainty as to a potential future impact from COVID-19 on RTX's financial year 2019/20 must be acknowledged. The outlook for the financial year assumes that RTX can maintain production and logistics flows at current and forecasted levels without major supply disruptions and that additional near-term impact from COVID-19 on customer demand is limited. As stated in the annual report for 2018/19, it is expected that the revenue and earnings distribution over 2019/20 will be relatively backloaded towards the end of the year.
SHARE CAPITAL REDUCTION COMPLETED
As adopted at the Annual General Meeting on 23 January 2020 and as subsequently confirmed and finally adopted by the Extraordinary General Meeting held on 3 March 2020, RTX's share capital has been reduced by nominal DKK 1,500.000 by cancellation of 300,000 treasury shares acquired through share buy-back programmes. The share capital reduction was finally completed and registered on 15 April 2020 (cf. company announcement 28/2020).

STATEMENTS ON FUTURE CONDITIONS
The above statements on the Group's future conditions, including in particular, future revenue and operating profit (EBIT-DA and EBIT), reflect Management's current outlook and carry some uncertainty. These statements can be affected by a number of risks and uncertainties, which mean that actual developments can be different from the indicated outlook. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, general business and economic conditions, dependence on partners, the time of delivery of components, and foreign exchange and interest rate fluctuations - all of which may also be impacted by the COVID-19 situation and development.
Management's Statement
The Board of Directors and the Executive Board have today considered and adopted the interim report of RTX A/S for the second quarter and first half of the financial year 2019/20 (covering the period 1 October 2019 to 31 March 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 H1 2019/20 the Group has entered into commercial hedging transactions. The derivatives are measured at fair value at 31 March 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.
