2021 GUIDANCE: DOUBLE-DIGIT GROWTH OF THE MAIN METRICS

  • Estimates supported by a backlog of €632.1 million as of 30 April 2021 (compared to €408.8 million as of 31 December 2020), which covers about 85% of the expected revenues for the current financial year
  • Robust pipeline of new products, of which five new models to be presented in 2021 and three new ranges to be launched in 2022

Ameglia (SP), 4 May 2021 – The Board of Directors of Sanlorenzo S.p.A. ("Sanlorenzo" or the "Company"), which met today under the chairmanship of Mr. Massimo Perotti, examined and approved the periodic financial information as of 31 March 2021.

Massimo Perotti, the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated:

«The virtuous path of Sanlorenzo since the acquisition has always been a source of great pride for me, even and above all in the most difficult phases. Today this satisfaction is even greater, because the company can count on new, solid and varied directions of development, permitting us to confidently forecast double-digit growth of the major metrics for 2021.

The main driver of results is undoubtedly a successful product. Our strategy to expand product ranges is impressive, and calls not only for the presentation of five new models at the Cannes Yachting Festival in September 2021, but also for the launch of three new lines in 2022, one for each division, in segments with high potential not yet explored by Sanlorenzo.

With the SP ("Smart Performance") line, the Yacht Division enters the segment of coupé yachts, presenting innovative ecofriendly solutions; with X-Space, the Superyacht Division introduces a concept that is a perfect blend of the advantages of the Explorer and those of the classic motor yacht; with the BGM line, Bluegame enters the multihull sector, relying on a proposal I would define as revolutionary. All these new lines offer novel functions on the market, formulated around rigorous principles of sustainability.

The Research and Development area plays a fundamental role in promoting sustainability, where human and financial resources are focused on projects across a wide spectrum of contents and time scales, particularly regarding Diesel-Electric yachts and the evaluation of the nautical application of Fuel Cells, which have become essential to produce zero-emission energy, which will soon no longer be seen as a mere option.

At the same time, the High-End Services division created in 2020 has promptly resumed activities, entirely oriented towards the offering of a premium service package, never before made available in the yachting sector, and addressed exclusively to Sanlorenzo clients, including the first mono-brand charter fleet and crew training programs in the Sanlorenzo Academy. The objective is to respond to the real expectations of the clients with whom we have the privilege of direct interaction, given the limited number of units we build each year. In this way, the concept of "made to measure" is extended from products to services, in perfect harmony with the high-end positioning of the brand.

The reassuring outlook provided by the results achieved, together with promising new developments, have convinced us to consider growth options along external lines, seizing opportunities for acquisitions, starting with that of Perini Navi, an operation for which we have formally expressed our interest, which we hope to bring to a conclusion before the end of this year.»

CONSOLIDATED NET REVENUES NEW YACHTS

Net Revenues New Yachts1 in the first quarter of 2021 amounted to €118.0 million, up by 20.5% compared to €97.9 million in the same period of 2020. Net Revenues New Yachts grew in all Group divisions, driven by the excellent performance registered in APAC and the Americas. These results influenced by the high-end positioning of the brand and by a product mix with an increased incidence of larger yachts in the Yacht and Bluegame divisions, in a context of market expansion.

Net Revenues New Yachts by geographical area

Europe recorded Net Revenues New Yachts of €59.7 million (of which €15.5 million generated in Italy), accounting for 50.7% of the total, essentially stable compared to the first quarter of 2020.

The APAC area recorded Net Revenues New Yachts of €26.0 million, accounting for 22.0% of the total, up by 82.6% compared to the first quarter of 2020.

The Americas recorded Net Revenues New Yachts of €24.5 million, accounting for 20.7% of the total, up by 61.0% compared to the first quarter of 2020.

The increase in revenues in APAC and the Americas, strategic markets for the Group's growth, continued with a strong acceleration in sales in these areas which started in the second half of 2020.

The Middle East and Africa area recorded Net Revenues New Yachts of €7.8 million, accounting for 6.6% of the total, a slight decrease compared to the first quarter of 2020.

1Net Revenues New Yachts are calculated as the algebraic sum of revenues from contracts with customers relating to new yachts net of relative sales commissions. According to the IFRS, the sale price of the new yachts and, therefore, also the calculation of the associated revenues includes the difference between the value attributed contractually to the pre-owned boats subject to exchange and their relative fair value.

CONSOLIDATED OPERATING AND NET RESULTS

Adjusted EBITDA2 is equal to €17.3 million, up by 28.4% compared to €13.5 million in the first quarter of 2020. The incidence on Net Revenues New Yachts increased from 13.8% in 2020 to 14.7% in 2021.

EBITDA3 , including non-recurring components linked to the non-monetary costs of the 2020 Stock Option Plan and the expenses incurred for COVID-19, amounted to €17.1 million, up by 27.8% compared to €13.3 million in in the first quarter of 2020.

The significant and constant increase in operating margins is tied to the efficiencies generated by the gradual rampup of production capacity following the significant investments of the previous years and the consequent higher absorption of fixed costs. Furthermore, the operating margin benefits from the shift in product mix towards larger yachts.

EBIT is equal to €12.0 million, up by 36.1% compared to €8.8 million in the first quarter of 2020. The incidence on Net Revenues New Yachts increased from 9.0% in 2020 to 10.2% in 2021, with a 11.6% increase in depreciation and amortisation that stood at €5.0 million, due to the coming on stream of the major investments in new product development and additional production capacity.

Net financial expenses amounted to €209 million, down by 63.3% compared to the first quarter of 2020, thanks to the reduction in debt and the improved financial conditions applied to the Group by the credit institutions and, to a lesser extent, thanks to foreign exchange gains.

Pre-tax profit amounted to €11.8 million, up by 42.5% compared to €8.3 million in the first quarter of 2020. The incidence on Net Revenues New Yachts increased from 8.5% in 2020 to 10.0% in 2021.

Group net profit reached €8.3 million, up by 39.3% compared to €5.9 million in the first quarter of 2020. The incidence on Net Revenues New Yachts increased from 6.1% in 2020 to 7.0% in 2021.

CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET AND FINANCIAL RESULTS

Net working capital as of 31 March was equal to €55.5 million and showed an increase of €36.2 million compared to €19.3 million as of 31 December 2020. Compared to the figure as of 31 March 2020 of €66.7 million, net working capital as of 31 March 2021 was down by €11.2 million.

Inventories are equal to €83.6 million, up by €1.4 million compared to €82.2 million as of 31 December 2020 and up by €4.1 million compared to €79.5 million as of 31 March 2020. Inventories of finished products, equal to €29.6 million, include €18.8 million referred to pre-owned yachts already sold at the close of the period for delivery in the following months.

The performance of net working capital is consistent with sector seasonality, also in consideration to the concentration of yachts delivers throughout the summer months, and the growth in business volumes.

Investments amounted to €5.6 million, compared to €6.4 million in the first quarter of 2020, with an incidence on Net Revenues New Yachts decreased from 6.6% in 2020 to 4.8% in 2021. Investments dedicated to the expansion of the product ranges are equal to €3.4 million, up by 4.8% compared to 2020.

Net financial position was equal to €25.9 million, compared to a net cash position of €3.8 million as of 31 December 2020 and a net debt position of €60.7 million as of 31 March 2020. Compared to the figure of the previous year, the net financial position showed a decrease of €34.8 million, linked to the notable reduction in current financial debt.

2Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adding amortisation/depreciation expenses to operating profit/loss adjusted for non-recurring items. Non-recurring items, mainly related to the non-monetary costs of the 2020 Stock Option Plan and the expenses incurred for COVID-19, are equal to €252 million and €135 million for the first quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively.

3 EBITDA is calculated by adding amortisation/depreciation expenses to operating profit/loss.

Cash and cash equivalents amounted to €65.7 million, compared to €94.4 million as of 31 December 2020 and to €63.3 million as of 31 March 2020. The total available liquidity as of 31 March 2021 is equal to €195.6 million, including undrawn credit lines of €128.8 million4 .

BACKLOG

Group backlog5 as of 31 March 2021 amounted to €553.4 million, compared to €500.8 million as of 31 March 2020 and to €408.8 million as of 31 December 2020. The increase compared to the first quarter of 2020 is equal to €52.6 million.

The order intake in the first quarter of 2021, amounting to €144.6 million, is linked to a strong acceleration of the market began in the last months of 2020 and that gradually affected all segments of the Group, in particular the Yacht Division.

The growth in order portfolio has been fostered by recently introduced models, such as the SX112 and BGX60, presented at the Genoa Boat Show in October 2020, and by new products that will be launched during 2021, which have already been extremely well received commercially even before being presented to the market.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK AND 2021 GUIDANCE

In a growing market environment, whose dynamics are being consolidated over the months, Sanlorenzo continues to benefit from the unique characteristics of its business model: strength and high-end positioning of the brand, emphasized by the close liaison with art and design, yachts always at the forefront of innovation, built in limited quantities and strictly made to measure, addressed to a sophisticated and loyal clientele, distribution restricted to a selected number of Brand Representatives and a flexible cost structure.

The strategy to expand the product ranges is sound and highly structured, providing both the presentation of new models, which will be five at the Cannes Boat Show on September 2021, and the launch of three new lines in 2022 – SP ("Smart Performance"), X-Space and BGM ("Bluegame Multi-hull") – characterized by novel crosssegment features, and highly sustainable. These are the principles that are also guiding Research and Development activities, currently focused on Diesel-Electric yachts and the evaluation of the nautical application of Fuel Cells.

The Group also continues in the programme to increase operating margins, promoted by the efficiencies generated by the progressive implementation of the new production capacity and by the gradual increase in the prices of new orders thanks to the commercial positioning of the Company.

Group backlog as of 30 April 2021 is equal to €632.1 million, marking further growth of €78.7 million compared to 31 March 2021. The amount related to 2021, equal to €457.0 million, offers significant visibility on Net Revenues New Yachts for the current financial year.

In light of all of the above, through constantly monitoring the evolution of the general context, the Company considers its expectations of double-digit growth for the main metrics in 2021 to be well-founded, and discloses the following guidance for the current year6 .

4Excluding credit lines for reverse factoring and confirming.

5Backlog is calculated as the sum of the value of all orders and sales contracts signed with customers or brand representatives relating to yachts for delivery or delivered in the current financial year or for delivery in subsequent financial years. For each year, the value of the orders and contracts included in the backlog refers to the relative share of the residual value from 1 January of the year in question until the delivery date. The backlog relating to yachts delivered during the year is conventionally cleared on 31 December.

6In the absence of material impacts arising from additional restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic and excluding the contribution from potential extraordinary operations.
