FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OF THE GROUP2

The Ströer Group got off to a very successful start in fiscal year 2019. With revenue of EUR 374.0m (prior year: EUR 329.1m), the Group picked up on the positive momentum of the prior years with impulses coming from both the first-time consolidation of the newly acquired operations and from organic revenue growth, which remained robust. Negative effects from the discontinuation of smaller operations – such as the sale of the Bodychange business – were more than offset. Overall, the Ströer Group achieved nominal revenue growth of 13.6% and organic growth of 7.2%.

In step with the higher volume of business, the cost of sales also rose from EUR 219.2m to EUR 248.5m. This increase was mainly due to the entities included for the first time in the consolidated financial statements and the higher revenue-based lease payments and publisher fees. Overall, gross profit amounted to EUR 125.5m (prior year: EUR 109.9m). The gross profit margin stood at 33.6% (prior year: 33.4%).

The continued growth was also accompanied by an increase in selling and administrative expenses from EUR 96.1m to EUR 106.7m. This increase was primarily attributable to the additional costs from the newly acquired entities and inflation-related cost adjustments as well as targeted growth investments in the Digital OOH & Content segment. As a percentage of revenue, selling and administrative expenses were down slightly on the prior year overall, accounting for 28.5% of revenue (prior year: 29.2%). Other operating income was also slightly down at EUR 5.8m (prior year: EUR 6.5m), while profit or loss of equity method investees remained unchanged year on year at EUR 0.8m (prior year: EUR 0.8m).

Lifted by the positive business development, EBIT for the Group came to EUR 25.4m (prior year: EUR 21.2m). The repeated increase in EBITDA (adjusted), 3 up from EUR 107.6m to EUR 117.5m, also underscores once again the successful growth course. The return on capital employed (ROCE) stood at 18.8% and remained at a very pleasing high level (prior year: 18.1%).

As in the prior year, the financial result came to EUR -7.7m. In addition to general refinancing costs for existing loan liabilities, since the introduction of IFRS 16 this item also includes the expense from the compounding of lease liabilities, which came to EUR -5.2m in the first quarter (prior year: EUR -5.4m).

By contrast, the Ströer Group's tax expense increased slightly to EUR -3.4m (prior year: EUR -1.8m). This increase is mainly attributable to the long-term improvement in operating activities and – as a result – the further increase in the tax assessment base.

Consolidated profit or loss from discontinued operations came to EUR 0.0m for the first quarter of 2019 while the corresponding prior-year figure of EUR -2.6m reflected earnings contributions from the Turkish OOH business.

2 The Ströer Group sold its Turkish OOH business in the fourth quarter of 2018. As the Turkish OOH business, unlike other smaller discontinued units such as Bodychange, constituted a discontinued operation within the meaning of IFRS 5, all prior-year items of the consolidated income statement were adjusted for the Turkish OOH business. The adjusted amounts were reclassified to profit or loss from discontinued operations. See our explanations in note 6 in the notes section of our 2018 annual report.

3 "EBITDA (adjusted)" is in substance identical to the previous term "operational EBITDA."

Overall, the Ströer Group's consolidated profit from continuing operations grew to EUR 14.4m, up on the already excellent prior-year figure of EUR 11.7m. Adjusted consolidated profit was bolstered by the positive trend in operations, climbing EUR 2.5m to EUR 34.3m. The Group thus very successfully continued unabated on its profitable growth course in the first quarter of the fiscal year.

FINANCIAL POSITION

Liquidity and investment analysis

The following overview relates exclusively to the continuing operations of the Ströer Group; the prior-year figures were adjusted for the contributions of the Turkish OOH business.4

In EUR m Q1 2019 Q1 2018
Cash flows from operating activities 73.7
Cash received from the disposal of intangible assets and property, plant and
equipment
1.0 0.6
Cash paid for investments in intangible assets and property, plant and
equipment
-21.0 -33.0
Cash received from and cash paid for the sale and acquisition of consolidated
entities
-5.1 -45.6
Cash flows from investing activities -25.1 -78.0
Cash flows from financing activities -54.9 15.6
Change in cash 7.6 11.3
Cash at the end of the period 111.3 95.5
Free cash flow before M&A transactions (incl. IFRS 16 payments for the
principal portion of lease liabilities)
18.5 -15.7
Free cash flow before M&A transactions 67.6 41.2

The successful start in fiscal year 2019 is reflected, among other things, in the pleasing development of cash flows from operating activities which were up EUR 14.0m year on year to EUR 87.6m (prior year: EUR 73.7m). In this connection, the Group primarily benefited from the sizable upswing in operating activities, mirrored in particular by the noticeably improved EBITDA. Shifts in working capital also had a positive effect, while higher tax payments in particular had a dampening effect.

Cash flows from investing activities were down significantly, from EUR -78.0m in the prior year to EUR -25.1m. While considerable outflows were incurred for the acquisition of the DV-COM group and the D+S 360 group in the prior year, M&A activities in the first quarter of the current year were tangibly lower. In addition, cash paid for investments in intangible assets and property, plant and equipment also remained noticeably below the prior-year level, such that free cash flow before M&A transactions was up EUR 26.4m on the prior year to EUR 67.6m compared with EUR 41.2m in the prior year. Adjusted for the IFRS 16 payments for the principal portion of lease liabilities, free cash flow before M&A transactions still amounted to EUR 18.5m, thus up EUR 34.2m on the prior year (prior year: EUR -15.7m).

4 For information on the sale of our Turkish OOH business, see our explanations in note 6 of the notes section of the 2018 annual report.

The improved operating activities along with the noticeably lower investment payments have led to a considerable change in cash flows from financing activities. While the comparative prior-year period was shaped by a net inflow of EUR 15.6m, the Group reported a net outflow of EUR -54.9m in the first quarter of 2019.

Cash at the end of the first quarter came to EUR 111.3m, up EUR 7.6m on the year-end figure.

Financial structure analysis

In the first three months of the current fiscal year, the Ströer Group reported a marginal decrease of EUR 16.5m in non-current liabilities to EUR 1,628.5m. This decline is attributable to several partly offsetting effects which, when considered individually, were only of marginal importance.

By contrast, current liabilities were down almost EUR 22.3m compared with the year-end figure, closing at EUR 650.6m at the end of the first quarter. This decline mainly reflects the reduction in trade payables and lower lease liabilities, although the changes in both cases did not exceed the usual fluctuations.

In light of the consolidated profit achieved and other smaller effects, consolidated equity for the first three months grew by around EUR 24.4m to EUR 693.3m. The equity ratio improved slightly from 22.3% to 23.3%. Adjusted for the lease liabilities accounted for in accordance with IFRS 16, the equity ratio stood at 35.9% as of the reporting date.

Net debt

With a view to the adoption of IFRS 16 and the related recognition of additional lease liabilities, the Ströer Group bases the calculation of its net debt on its existing loan agreements with lending banks. In both the facility agreement and the contractual documentation on the note loans, these IFRS 16 lease liabilities were excluded specifically from the calculation of net debt as in the opinion of the contracting parties the economic situation of the Ströer Group has not changed as a result of the adoption of IFRS 16. Against this background and for the sake of consistency, the effects of IFRS 16 on EBITDA (adjusted) are also not reflected in the calculation of the leverage ratio.

In EUR m 31 Mar 2019 31 Dec 2018
(1) Lease liabilities (IFRS 16) 1,043.9 1,055.3
(2) Liabilities from the facility agreement 59.4 64.2
(3) Liabilities from note loans 494.2 494.1
Liabilities from the obligation to purchase
(4) own equity instruments 73.3 75.4
Liabilities from dividends to non-controlling
(5) interests 9.6 9.6
(6) Other financial liabilities 50.0 53.4
(1)+(2)+(3)+(4)+(5)+(6) Total financial liabilities 1,730.4 1,752.1
Total financial liabilities excluding lease
liabilities (IFRS 16) and liabilities from the
(2)+(3)+(5)+(6) obligation to purchase own equity instruments 613.2 621.4
(7) Cash 111.3 103.7
(2)+(3)+(5)+(6)-(7) Net debt 501.9 517.7

In sync with the increase in operating activities, the Group's net debt fell by EUR 15.8m to EUR 501.9m with the level of investment also falling. The leverage ratio (defined as the ratio of net debt to EBITDA (adjusted)) improved to 1.36 and was thus below the value at the end of the prioryear first quarter (1.61) and the value as of 31 December 2018 (1.43).

ASSETS

Analysis of the asset structure

Non-current assets decreased by EUR 21.2m to EUR 2,619.3m in the first quarter of 2019. This decrease was primarily due to the current amortization of intangible assets which was only offset in part by investments.

Current assets, by contrast, were up slightly by EUR 12.4m to EUR 353.2m.

Assets held for sale decreased to EUR 0.0m as a result of the sale of Foodist GmbH and Ströer Mobile Performance GmbH, as did the related liabilities.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OF THE SEGMENTS

The Ströer Group sold its Turkish OOH business in the fourth quarter of 2018. The prior-year figures in this section have therefore been adjusted for the discontinued operations of the Turkish OOH business in line with the provisions of IFRS 5.5

In EUR m Q1 2019 Q1 2018 Change
Segment revenue, thereof 143.0 133.8 9.2 6.8%
Large formats 64.1 62.0 2.1 3.4%
Street furniture 33.5 30.5 3.0 9.8%
Transport 15.1 14.0 1.1 7.8%
Other 30.3 27.3 3.0 10.9%
EBITDA (adjusted) 62.7 61.6 1.1 1.8%
EBITDA margin (adjusted) 43.8% 46.0% -2.2 percentage points

Out-of-Home Media

The OOH Media segment saw its revenue grow by EUR 9.2m to EUR 143.0m in the first quarter of 2019. In terms of the individual product groups, all product groups contributed to revenue growth. Revenue from the large formats product group was up on the prior year to EUR 64.1m (prior year: EUR 62.0m). The street furniture product group, which mainly serves national and international customer groups in the German OOH market, reported significant growth of 9.8% to EUR 33.5m on the back of robust demand for traditional out-of-home products. The transport product group, which operates almost exclusively on the German out-of-home market, lifted its revenue by EUR 1.1m to EUR 15.1m, with the growth stemming largely from business with local customers. The other product group also reported growth, with revenue up EUR 3.0m to EUR 30.3m. This growth was driven partly by smaller bolt-on acquisitions reported in this group which made a positive contribution. Also, full-service solutions (including the production of advertising materials) are traditionally in higher demand from our growth field of local and regional customers than from large national customers. These additional services are reported in the other product group.

Overall, the segment generated EBITDA (adjusted) of EUR 62.7m (prior year: EUR 61.6m) and an EBITDA margin (adjusted) of 43.8% in the reporting period (prior year: 46.0%).

5 For information on the sale of our Turkish OOH business, see our explanations in note 6 of the notes section of the 2018 annual report.

In EUR m Q1 2019 Q1 2018 Change
Segment revenue, thereof 125.0 123.2 1.8 1.4%
Display 66.0 64.4 1.6 2.5%
Video 26.0 25.2 0.8 3.0%
Digital marketing services 33.0 33.6 -0.6 -1.8%
EBITDA (adjusted) 44.0 35.2 8.8 24.9%
EBITDA margin (adjusted) 35.2% 28.6% 6.6 percentage points

Digital OOH & Content

In the first quarter of 2019, the Digital OOH & Content segment grew its revenue in an overall difficult market environment from EUR 123.2m to EUR 125.0m, despite some portfolio adjustments. The segment figures can only be compared with those of the prior year to a limited extent due to the portfolio adjustments.6

In terms of the individual product groups performance varied. The display product group saw moderate growth in the first quarter of this year, up EUR 1.6m to EUR 66.0m. However, if the portfolio adjustments had not been made, the product group would have reported a strong increase in revenue of more than 10% year on year. The product group clearly escaped the general market pressure on display marketing in particular through the marketing of advertising formats on mobile devices and automated forms of marketing. The video product group reported growth of 3.0% to EUR 26.0m buoyed by robust demand for our digital out-of-home products, in particular for movingpicture formats in the public domain (public video) and our programmatic public video offering. The digital marketing services product group saw its revenue decrease by EUR 0.6m overall to EUR 33.0m due to the portfolio adjustments made (in particular Bodychange). By contrast, the rapidly growing business with subscription models (Statista) and local digital product marketing business with small and medium-sized customers (RegioHelden), which is also reported in this product group, continued to develop well.

Both the good business development in particular for digital out-of-home media and the portfolio adjustments carried out had a noticeably positive effect on earnings. Overall, the segment reported an increase of EUR 8.8m in EBITDA (adjusted) to EUR 44.0m (prior year: EUR 35.2m) and a substantial rise in the EBITDA margin (adjusted) to 35.2% (prior year: 28.6%) in the first quarter of 2019.

6 The portfolio adjustments relate to the sale of smaller operations which – unlike the Turkish OOH business – were not defined as discontinued operations within the meaning of IFRS 5. In light of this, the prior-year figures were also not adjusted in these instances.

Direct Media

In EUR m Q1 2019 Q1 2018 Change
Segment revenue, thereof 112.5 76.5 36.0 47.2%
Dialog marketing 81.3 49.0 32.3 65.8%
Transactional 31.2 27.4 3.8 14.0%
EBITDA (adjusted) 14.7 14.7 0.0 0.0%
EBITDA margin (adjusted) 13.1% 19.3% -6.2 percentage points

The Direct Media segment comprises the dialog marketing and transactional product groups. Against the background of the newly acquired dialog marketing operations and the sale of operations in the transactional product group, the prior-year figures are currently only of limited comparative value for these two product groups.7

The integration of the newly acquired operations in dialog marketing was significantly advanced in the first quarter. The transactional product group grew its revenue by EUR 3.8m to EUR 31.2m in comparison with the first quarter of the prior year. Adjusted for the foodist business which was sold in March 2018, the product group would have reported even stronger revenue growth. Business in particular from own e-commerce products (AsamBeauty and Ströer Products) saw substantial growth.

Overall, the segment generated EBITDA (adjusted) of EUR 14.7m (prior year: EUR 14.7m) and an EBITDA margin (adjusted) of 13.1% in the reporting period (prior year: 19.3%).

7 The operations sold – unlike the Turkish OOH business – were not defined as discontinued operations within the meaning of IFRS 5. In light of this, the prior-year figures were also not adjusted in these instances.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS

No significant events occurred in the first quarter of 2019.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Transactions not involving a change in control

In the second quarter of 2019, the Ströer Group acquired in particular the remaining shares in Statista GmbH (+18.7%) for a purchase price of EUR 29.9m and the remaining shares in Permodo GmbH (+24.0%) for a purchase price of EUR 22.1m.

OUTLOOK

For fiscal year 2019, the board of management expects organic revenue growth in the mid-single digit percentage range for the entire Ströer Group. EBITDA (adjusted) is also expected to increase by a mid-single-digit percentage figure.
