When releasing 2020 annual results, Pierre Danon, Solocal Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, said:

« Despite the unprecedented context of the health crisis and the numerous challenges faced by Solocal in 2020, our transformation has continued. On the financial level, we have completed the strengthening of our financial structure which conditioned the Group's sustainability. Since this decisive step has been taken, we have regained the leeway needed to focus on the roll-out of our model and the full-digital offer that will be the cornerstone of our growth. Our subscription mode enables, among other things, to better deal with the impact of the health crisis on the business. In 2020, the impact of this crisis was contained within the announced limits. It prompts us to better perform in 2021 and we are fully aware of what is still to be achieved particularly in the areas of satisfaction and in the development of our customer base. In spite of the adverse environment, our indicators are here once more going in the right direction. We are therefore entering 2021 with reaffirmed confidence, convinced in our ability to resume growth this year and to display results in line with our roadmap.

In this context, as announced yesterday, I am delighted to welcome our new CEO, Hervé Milcent as from April 6 2021 who will fully devote himself to this task ».

________________________________________________________________________

The Board of Directors approved the Group's consolidated accounts as at 31st December 2020. The audit procedures of the consolidated accounts were carried out and the certification report from the auditors is to be released.

The comments on the financial performance indicators concern the scope of continued activities. The financial elements presented in this press release for 2019 are revised in light of the scope of activities as at 31st December 2020.

________________________________________________________________________

1. Revenues and order backlog

N.B. The Print business was discontinued in November 2020 and is restated as discontinued operations under IFRS 5. Print revenues and direct costs are therefore presented under « Income before tax from discontinued activities » in the 2020 Income Statement. In addition, as previously announced, Solocal sold 100% of its Spanish subsidiary QDQ on 28th February2020 and sold 100% of its Mappy subsidiary to the RATP Group on 31st October 2020.

In million euros Q4 2019 Q4 2020 Change FY 2019 FY 2020 Change
Digital revenues 119.5 99.5 -16.7% 501.3 432.8 -13.7%
Revenues from divested activities - - - 24.1 4.6 -80.9%
Consolidated revenues 119.5 99.5 -16.7% 525.4 437.4 -16.7%
Print Revenues 13.0 3.7 -71.8% 58.8 26.6 -54.8%

Solocal revenues3 in Q4 2020 and over 2020 are as follows :

N.B. Revenues from divested activities represent Mappy & QDQ revenues over 2020.

Fourth quarter 2020 consolidated revenues4 amount to €100 million, down -16.7% compared to the fourth quarter 2019 revenues3,5. For the first time, it is only composed of Digital revenues.

Digital revenues of €100 million in Q4 2020 decreased by -16.7% compared to Q4 20193 , as a consequence of the conversion into revenue of the decrease in Digital order intake6 from previous quarters, in connection with the Covid-19 health crisis.

Consolidated revenues for 2020 amount to €437 million4 , down by -16.7% compared to total 2019 revenues3,5 . Digital revenues of €433 million in 2020 is down -13.7% vs. 20193 , due to order intake declines linked to the lockdown periods. It is in line with the announced outlook of -15%. 67% of 2020 Digital revenues comes from order intake1 recorded in previous years and 33% comes from current year order intake1 . The latter share is down -9points compared to 2019, hence reflecting the drop in order intake recorded in 2020 because of the health crisis.

In order to illustrate the evolution of new digital services, Digital revenue is presented in three business lines :

  • Booster: Businesses related to Advertising, representing 60% of Digital revenues for 2020 (Booster Contact, Priority Ranking, etc);
  • Connect (25% of revenues, formerly Presence) which includes the business of Digital Presence; and
  • Websites (15% of revenues) for the different ranges of websites (Essentiel, Premium, Privilege).

Solocal order backlog as at 31st December 2020 breaks down as follows :

In million euros 30/09/2020 31/12/2020 Change
Digital order backlog 293.4 284.2 -3.1%

The order backlog is for the first time exclusively composed of the Digital order backlog and represents €284 million as at 31st December 2020, slightly down (-3.1%) compared to 30th September 2020. There is no more Print order backlog after the permanent shutdown of this activity.

The slight decrease in Digital order backlog (-3.1%) as of 31st December 2020 is explained by a lower value of order intake1 recorded in Q4 2020 in comparison with revenues booked over the same period. This decrease in order intake considers the unfavourable effect of the change in the order intake recording date when switching to subscription mode.

Based on management's best estimates, as of 31st December 2020, secured Digital revenues amounts to €235 million for the year 2021 thanks to the order intake already recorded before 31st December 2020.

In million euros 31/12/2019 31/12/2020 Change
Secured Digital revenue for current year 288,4 234,9 -18,6%

The €284 million order backlog of will convert into revenues to the tune of 5"% in the first semester 2021 and 30% in the second half 2021.

2. Operational performance indicators

Solocal's operational performance indicators for Q4 2020 and for 2020 are as follows:

Q4 2019 Q4 2020 Change FY 2019 FY 2020 Change
Subscription-based order intake - as a % of Digital order intake 72% 82% +10 pts 44% 81% +37 pts
Traffic : number of PagesJaunes visits - in million 485 441 -9.2% 2 029 1 876 -7.5%

In Q4 2020, 82% of Digital order intake1 were recorded as subscription-based products8 , i.e. an increase of +10 points compared to Q4 2019.

Over 2020, 81% of order intake1 were subscription - based8 , i.e. an increase of +37 pts compared to 2019, mainly stemming from Priority Ranking and Connect offers, Websites and Booster Contact. This subscription-based order intake rate has been experiencing an ongoing rampup since the full roll-out of new digital Connect (previously Presence) and Priority Ranking services in July 2019. Subscription-based products are pivotal for the transformation of the business model, as it allows (i) a decrease in churn, while (ii) more importantly, it should foster the increase in new customer acquisition and cross-selling of existing clients by freeing up some salesforce time historically devoted to renewal.

PagesJaunes traffic is down -9.2% in Q4 2020 compared to Q4 2019, impacted by the health crisis as well as by the lockdown and curfew measures which penalized the entire French economy. This decrease is to the tune of -7.5% over the whole of 2020 vs. the year 2019.

Q4 2019 Q4 2020 FY 2019 FY 2020 Change
Customer base - BoP (a) 354k 314k 397k 349k -47k
+ Acquisitions 8k 10k 29k 32k +3k
- Churn -17k -15k -92k -82k -10k
+ Winbacks 5k 6k 15k 16k +1k
Customer base - EoP (a) 349k 315k 349k 315k -34k
Net change -4k 1 k -47k -34k 13k
Churn(b)
- in %
- - 19.3% 19.0% -0.3 pts
Digital ARPA(c) - - c. 1 360 € c. 1 330 € -2.3%

Solocal customer base2 evolved as follows in Q4 2020 and in 2020:

(a) BoP = beginning of period / EoP = End of Period

(b) Churn : number of lost customers (net of winbacks) divided by number of BoP customers

(c) Digital ARPA calculated as revenues divided by the average customer base over the past 12 months, (scope restated from QdQ and Mappy)

The Group's customer base2 is down by c. -34,000 customers at 31st December 2020 compared to 31st December 2019. With 315,000 customers, it represents a decrease of c. -9.8% over the year. However, in 2020 the reduction in the number of customers slowed down compared to 2019, with nearly 13,000 less customers lost than in 2019. The fourth quarter of 2020 shows an inflection of the decreasing trend with a stabilization of the customer base (+ c 1,000 clients).

These trends are explained by two phenomena:

  • In an unfavourable context linked to the health crisis and the shutdown of businesses in France, Solocal managed to drive higher customer acquisition vs. 2019 with nearly 48,000 new customers and winbacks in 2020 vs. 44,000 new customers and winbacks in 2019;
  • At the same time, Solocal lost 10,000 less customers in 2020 than in 2019. This decrease in the number of lost customers can be explained by (i) the first effects of the subscription model, which has been rolled out since summer 2019 and that helped limit the attrition in terms of customers on Q4 2020, (ii) the setting-up of a team dedicated to customer retention in spring 2020 and by (iii) improving the product offer and gradually implementing solutions aimed at placing customer satisfaction at the heart of the Group's strategy.

The Group's churn rate(b), net of winbacks, is stabilized at 19.0% in 2020 vs. 19.3% in 2019, thus reflecting the first effects of the retention measures detailed above. In the fourth quarter of 2020, the Group lost c. 9,000 customers (net of winbacks), i.e. an annualized churn rate of 11.2%.

Group Digital ARPA(C) reaches approximately €1,330 in 2020, slightly down compared to Digital ARPA in 2019 (-2.3%). This trend can be explained by a limited upsell and cross-sell dynamic, constrained by the adverse health environment and the measures which penalized the French economic activity this year. ARPA is now calculated basing on revenues and no longer on order intake.

3. Costs and EBITDA

a. EBITDA Contributory presentation

N.B. In application of IFRS 5 accounting standard, revenues and direct costs related to the Print activity are displayed under "Income before tax of discontinued activity" in the 2020 Income Statement.

In order to ease the understanding of the Group's 2020 activity, the above table represents the Group's revenue and EBITDA from a "contributory" perspective. The revenues for 2020 is €464 million (with all activities combined) and the recurring EBITDA is €132.8 million.

b. Consolidated EBITDA

In order to facilitate the comparison between 2020 and the previous year figures, Solocal presents 2019 PF figures with Print business restated as discontinued activities from 2019.

In million euros 2019 2019 PF 2020 Change
Revenues 584.1 525.4 437.4 -16.7%
Net external expenses (143.7) (133.5) (124.5) -6.7%
Personnel expenses (249.8) (248.2) (200.9) -19.1%
Recurring EBITDA 190.6 143.7 112 -22.1%
Restructuring costs (23.5) (23.5) - NS
Other non recurring costs 0.5 0.6 4.2 NS
Consolidated EBITDA 167.6 120.8 116.2 -3.8%
Consolidated EBITDA margin 28.7% 26.6%

Recurring EBITDA reached €112 million for the year 2020, down -22.1% compared to 20195 . The recurring EBITDA margin in relation to revenues thus amounts to 25.6% down -1.8 points. The Group is indeed affected by the consequences of the loss of more than €100 million order intake1 during the lockdown periods of the first and second half of 2020 in France. Solocal partially offset this decline in activity by the favourable evolution of recurring costs base under the framework of the transformation plan, and by the implementation of an additional costs reduction plan in order to deal with the health crisis. Among other measures, this plan included, partial unemployment.

Recurring external expenses thus amounts to €125 million in 2020, down -€9 million or - 6.7% compared to 2019 5 . This decrease is due to:

  • The mechanical reduction in variable costs linked to the drop in revenues and activity (travel expenditures, media spend),
  • The reduction of Print business' fixed costs in connection with the shutdown of this activity,
  • Continued control over certain expenditures (marketing : advertising campaigns stopped).

Recurring personnel expenses amount to €201 million in 2020, down -€47 million, i.e. -19.1% compared to 20195 , explained by :

  • The health crisis impact on the level of business during the period, which weighted on variable remuneration, and induced postponements in recruitments,
  • The implementation of partial or total unemployment measures (€9 million),
  • The full-year effect of the reduction in average FTEs carried out as part of the Group's transformation project.

As at 31st December 2020, the Group's workforce was composed of 2,813 people (including long term illness), 55% of which were salespersons.

Non-recurring items of €4 million in 2020 mainly correspond to accrued income related to the favourable outcome of former litigations on "Crédit Impôt Recherche" (or "CIR"; Research Tax Credit).

After taking these non-recurring items into account, consolidated EBITDA amounted to € 116.2 million for 2020, compared to € 120.8 million in 20195 , a decrease of -3.8%. The consolidated EBITDA margin was 26.6%, down -2.1 points vs. the previous year. 2019 saw the extension of the 2018 PSE and an additional provision of €23 million.

4. Net Result

Consolidated net income 32.1 32.1 65.6 +104.2%

Depreciation and amortisation amounted to €67 million in 2020, a decrease of -5.9% compared to 20195 , due to the downward trend in investments over the past few years.

Financial result amounts to €2 million in 2020. It breaks down into non cash financial income of €63 million (recognition of a non cash gain from debt restructuring) and financial expenses of €61 million, up +€17 million compared to 2019 because of the fees spent in the October 2020 financial restructuring. The x reduction in debt level as well as the decrease in margins from the fourth quarter 2020 onwards will result in a reduction of interest expenses to c. €20m in 2021.

Recurring income before tax thus amounts to €51 million in 2020 vs. €5 million in 20195 .

The corporate income tax booked in 2020 amounts to €7 million. This item includes a CVAE expense of €5 million.

The consolidated net income stands at €66 million vs. €32 million the previous year.

5. Cashflow statement and debt

The Group cashflow statement includes the cashflows generated by Digital and Print Businesses, i.e. a recurring EBITDA of €132.8 million which includes recurring consolidated EBITDA and the marginal contribution of Print business (revenues and direct costs).

In million euros 2019 2020
Recurring EBITDA1 190.6 132.8
Non-monetary items included in EBITDA 4.1 (0.6)

- Of which LT borrowings 32.0
- Of which ST borrowings (7.9)
Capital increase 17.1 89.2
Others (22.9) (17.7)
Net change in cash (40.1) 19.9
Net cash & cash equivalents BoP 81.6 41.5
Net cash & cash equivalents EoP 41.5 61.4

Note : the cashflow statement includes in 2020 10 months of Mappy subsidiary and 2 months of the Spanish subsidiary QDQ cashflows, both non-significant in 2020.

The change in working capital requirements amounts to -€90 million in 2020. The change in customer WCR is negative by nearly -€67 million because of :

  • a negative volume effect in connection with the drop in onboarded revenues from 2019 ;
  • more importantly, the discrepancy between customer payments (directly impacted by the order intake decrease related to the Covid-19 crisis) and revenue recognition.

The negative change in « Other WCR » corresponds to the reimbursement of part of the tax and social liabilities over the period (€8 million), as well as the impact of the disposals of Mappy and QDQ on the Group balance sheet as at 31st December 2020.

The amount of CAPEX is €43 million in 2020, almost stable compared to 2019, out of a desire to maintain the Group's capacity for innovation and its capacity to bounce back after lockdown periods.

Non-recurring items amounted to -€67 million in 2020. They mainly include the disbursements resulting from the Solocal 2020 transformation project (€46 million) and the costs related to the financial restructuring (€20 million).

Disbursed financial expenses are significantly lower than in 2019 since the Group did not pay its first three quarterly Bond coupons in 2020 (for a total amount of c. €32 million). Financial expenses correspond to the payment of Bond interests in cash in Q4 2020 and the annual interests of the €50 million RCF.

The Group's consolidated Free Cash Flow is therefore negative, at -€76 million in 2020.

The increase in borrowings corresponds to the drawdown of the ATOUT loan contracted with BPI France (+€16 million) and the issuance of an additional Bond of €16 million7 in cash by some of the existing Bondholders; partially offset by the decrease in the working capital line (-€6 million) and repayments related to the asset financing.

The €89 million of capital increase correspond to the drawdowns on the Equity line (PACEO in January 2020 for €4 million) as well as the completion in early October of the capital increase with shareholder's preferential subscription rights which brought €85 million of cash in the Group.

The change in "Others" of -€18 million mainly derives from the cashflow corresponding to the financial amortisation of capitalised use rights related with the application of IFRS 16.

The Group's consolidated available cash flow is therefore positive at +€20 million in the year 2020. As at 31st December 2020, the Group had a net cash position of €61 million, compared to €41.5 million as at 31st December 2019.

Net financial debt amounts to €195million at 31stDecember2020 (excluding IFRS 16), down -€227 million compared to €422 million at December 31st 2019. It consists in Bondswith a2025maturity (two Bonds of respectively €168 million and €18 million7 ), the fully drawn RCF for €50 million, the €16 million "Prêt ATOUT" loan with a 2023 tenor, other debts for €4 million and a net cash position of €61 million.

The application of IFRS 16 impact on net financial debt is +€94 million as at 31st December 2020, resulting from the reclassification of rental expenditures in rental obligations as part of the liabilities on the balance sheet.

Net leverage6 as defined in the documentation pertaining to Solocal's 2025 maturity Bonds is 1.94x as at 31st December 2020 (to which IFRS 16 does not apply). The EBITDA to interest expenses ratio6 (ISCR) amounted to 6.1x for 2020.

The group complies with the financial covenants requested by the Bonds documentation, with respectively 45% and 103% of headroom.

6. Other information

As of 31st December 2020, Solocal had disbursed a cumulative amount of €209 million (out of a total estimated amount of €225 million), in salaries and compensation as provided by the 2018 transformation plan and its extension in 2019; i.e. 96% of the amount planned. There is still €9 million to be disbursed over 2021, under this transformation plan.

On 28th February 2020, the Group sold its Spanish subsidiary QdQ (see press release of 2 nd March 2020), which generated revenues of €3.3 million and EBITDA of +€0.2 million for 2020.

On 30th October 2020, the Group sold its subsidiary Mappy (see press release of 2 nd November 2020) which generated €1.3 million of revenues and -€4.0 million of EBITDA, over the ten first months of 2020 fiscal year.

7. Outlook 2021: EBITDA confirmed

In the wake of the stabilization observed in the fourth quarter of 2020, Solocal aims at a moderate growth in customer base for 2021, which should be driven by the benefits of the transformation carried out both in terms of customer acquisition and churn reduction.

EBITDA is confirmed at €120 million for the year 2021 with a fully digital business.
