Dear Shareholders, Dear Business Associates,
A few days ago we announced that technotrans has concluded a cooperation agreement with Termotek AG. This initial move now fleshes out our declaration of intent to explore new, additional areas of application for our technologies outside the sphere of the printing industry. Termotek AG is a specialist supplier of laser cooling systems for an incredibly diverse range of applications. Its technology, which is very closely related to technotrans' core expertise, means the company is therefore active in a highly promising market of the future. As already announced in the press release, if our shared expectations of the cooperation are borne out we are also prepared to consider taking our association with Termotek to a higher level. We will likewise continue to keep you informed of progress with tapping into other markets that are new to us.
There was hard evidence of a recovery in many areas of German industry in the first few months of the new financial year. According to the latest announcements our major customers, the printing press manufacturers, equally enjoyed a welcome rise in incoming orders. We take that as a sign that the improvement in technotrans' business situation on which our plans for the 2010 financial year are based should indeed materialise. The relatively positive reports from German market operators should nevertheless not hide the fact that this recovery is still no more than a tender green shoot and does not yet constitute evidence of a global upturn. On the contrary, the worldwide picture remains distinctly mixed; in some markets such as the USA the progress of the industry is still lagging well behind expectations.
The signs of the recovery in business for the first six months of 2010 are also reflected to some degree in the figures that we are presenting in this interim report. Revenue of € 21.0 million in the second quarter of 2010 is up on the previous quarter (€ 19.8 million) for the first time in a long while, and also higher than in the prior-year period (€ 20.5 million, + 2.6 percent). This increase is the result of the positive performance of the Technology segment, revenue for which grew by almost 5 percent. You can also read more about the good earnings performance in this report.
So the situation is no longer quite so bad, and the mood is actually distinctly positive. The recent industry events such as the IPEX in the UK and the ExpoPrint in Brazil demonstrated that emerging countries in particular are generating infectious positive momentum. Not least for that reason, we recently completed the
establishment of our subsidiary in India, which will further strengthen our presence in that important market and enable us to serve our growing customer base there even more effectively and directly.
technotrans is also increasingly taking part in exhibitions outside the printing industry. Having already put in a first appearance at this year's Hanover Fair, we are planning to participate in the internationally leading exhibition for plastics technology, the "K", in Düsseldorf in the autumn. There, technotrans will be showcasing the theta.plast, a temperature control unit with very high temperature control and measuring precision with an accuracy of 0.1 degree across a water temperature range of 10 to 140 degrees, and also an impulse cooling system. technotrans is therefore targeting first and foremost the demanding area of the injection moulding industry.
Along with the signs of a modest recovery in our core business and the highly promising prospects of additional expansion in applications outside of the printing industry, we have ample reason to believe that the capital market will reassess our shares. After all, we have already paved the way for technotrans to emerge from the crisis as a profitable growth company once more.
We will greatly value your support for this venture!
The Board of Management
For the first time in a long while, revenue for the second quarter of the 2010 financial year was higher than in the corresponding prior-year quarter. The business volume reached € 21.0 million and was therefore 2.6% up on the second quarter of 2009 (€ 20.5 million).
After the cautious start to the current financial year, the second quarter thus confirmed our expectations of a modest recovery in 2010. This welcome development is attributable exclusively to the Technology segment, where the revenue trend was reversed from a fall of 21.4% in the first quarter to a rise of 4.9% in the second quarter. This increase on the one hand reflects the recovery in certain regions of the world, with Asia and South America performing particularly well. On the other hand business with printing press manufacturers revived slightly, as expected.
Revenue for the first half of 2010 reached € 40.8 million, still 6.6% down on the prior-year figure (€ 43.7 million).
The 2.6% rise in revenue in the second quarter also led to an improvement in earnings. A gross profit of € 6.9 million was achieved, representing a rise of 6.5% on the second quarter of the previous year (€ 6.5 million); the gross margin was 32.8% (previous year 31.6%). Half way through the year the gross profit was € 13.3 million despite the lower revenue (previous year € 12.7 million, +4.8%).
Whereas the prior-year quarter had yielded a loss of € 1.1 million at EBIT level, the second quarter of the 2010 financial year was likewise once again profitable. EBIT reached € 0.9 million, representing a slight improvement on the result for the first quarter of 2010 (€ 0.6 million); the EBIT margin was 4.4%, as against 3.2% in the first quarter of 2010. The net fall of € 1.2 million in distribution costs, administrative expenses and development costs, along with positive exchange-rate effects at group level, had a positive impact. The costs for two international exhibitions (IPEX, ExpoPrint) had to be absorbed in the quarter, as did the costs for the new financing concept that was implemented in this quarter. Whereas first-half EBIT was still negative at € -2.0 million in the previous year, it reached € 1.6 million or 3.8% in 2010. In light of expectations that business should recover further in the second half of the year, we believe there is further scope for improvement over the year as a whole.
from the successful restructuring of financial liabilities, with a shift in emphasis more towards the medium to long-term category.
The net income for the period was € 0.5 million for the second quarter, bringing the total for the first half to € 0.8 million. This corresponds to earnings per share of € 0,13 (previous year € -0.41) for shares outstanding.
After four quarters which, with hindsight, appear to have represented the trough of the crisis, revenue for the Technology segment recovered slightly in the second quarter of 2010. This was prompted by welcome momentum in certain emerging countries; demand from printing press manufacturers likewise picked up as expected. Revenue therefore grew by 4.9% compared with the prior-year quarter (€ 12.0 million) to € 12.5 million; this confirmed our planning, in which we had anticipated a gradual recovery in the course of the current financial year. The first quarter had still suffered a 21.4% revenue downturn on the previous year. After six months, revenue therefore reached € 23.7 million, 9.4% below the still relatively high level for the prior-year period.
With restructuring costs severely undermining the result for the segment in the first half of the previous year, the loss fell to € -0.5 million in the second quarter of 2010, bringing the overall loss for the first half of 2010 to € 1.1 million. The earnings situation should improve over the coming quarters along with a further acceleration in business volume.

The Services segment achieved revenue of € 8.5 million in the second quarter of 2010, a downturn of 0.5% on the prior-year quarter. This stabilisation of the business performance provides yet more evidence that the impact of the crisis is abating. Nevertheless, revenue continues to suffer from a lack of installation business because the number of major projects remains low. On the other hand gds AG is performing well with its new subsidiary in Switzerland, which has succeeded in acquiring new customers in recent weeks.
In terms of earnings, too, the Services segment was able to help stabilise business once again. It produced a result for the segment of € 1.4 million in the second quarter, thus bringing the total for the first half of 2010 to € 2.7 million (previous year € 2.2 million). The margin after six months was a satisfactory 15.6%.

Based on a net profit of € 824 thousand for the first six months of 2010, the cash flow from operating activities before changes in net current assets totalled € 2.9 million (€ -387 thousand). Whereas it had been possible to release around € 7.5 million in cash and cash equivalents above all from receivables, inventories and liabilities in the prior-year period, in the first half of the new financial year there was only a moderate need overall for financing of working capital. Mainly for that reason, cash from operating activities amounted to € 2.8 thousand (previous year € 7.9 million).
Rebates of tax payments on account for the 2009 financial year already released further financial resources in the first quarter, ultimately pushing net cash from operating activities at the six-month mark up to € 3.6 million (previous year € 6.5 million). In relation to revenue, this produced a cash flow ratio of 8.9%.
Investing activities remain pared back to the bare minimum. The free cash flow remains positive after six months, at just under € 3.2 million.
The restructuring of corporate financing included the reconstruction of existing financial resources and the rescheduling of long-term loans amounting to € 3.0 million Aside from this, the financial liabilities continued to be repaid according to schedule during the first half. Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the half of € 12.9 million were around € 2.6 million up on the end of 2009 (€ 10.3 million).

The balance sheet total has increased by 4.1% from € 69.2 million to € 72.1 million since the start of the year. The main changes on the assets side concerned property, plant and equipment as well as intangible assets, which fell further as a result of amortisation. On the back of the slight recovery in standard business, inventories grew by around € 1.6 million to € 17.6 million, while cash and cash equivalents simultaneously rose by around € 2.6 million to € 12.9 million.
Changes on the equity and liabilities side largely concerned the financial liabilities, the maturities of which have shifted towards the medium to long-term as a result of the new financing concept. Current liabilities thus fell by around € 6.3 million, whereas non-current liabilities simultaneously rose by € 5.9 million. Largely because of this change, working capital (current assets – current liabilities) grew from € 9.0 million in the first quarter to € 17.0 million at the end of the second quarter. The positive changes in shareholders' equity (almost € 2.9 million) stem primarily from exchange-rate effects in the translation of foreign participating interests, as the major currencies exhibited noticeable gains or losses in value in the first half of the year.
Net debt, in other words interest-bearing liabilities less cash, continued to fall to € 9.5 million (end of 2009: € 12.4 million). Gearing at the reporting date was 28.7%.
To complement our activities in the printing industry, we are currently identifying and evaluating a number of options for implementing our skills in other areas of industry, too (technotrans industrial system solutions – ttis). We have taken an initial visible step through our cooperation with Termotek AG. Termotek develops and builds laser temperature control units that occupy a technological position very close to our core skill. They cover a performance level that complements our units in the lower segment (1-5 kW). The market for laser applications is growing rapidly and technotrans' international setup paves the way for accessing additional international markets more easily. If our shared expectations of the cooperation are fulfilled, we will be prepared to strengthen ties with Termotek still further. There are also various other options that we are planning to explore primarily with self-developed products. The extent to which these projects have taken on firm contours varies considerably, but in certain cases we have already reached the phase of building prototypes and will now proceed to test them in practice. If these tests prove positive, we will likewise announce our entry into these application areas.
A total of just under € 1.3 million was spent on research and development in the first half of 2010, leaving the spending ratio virtually unchanged at 3.1%. Development projects were frequently shelved by the customer over recent quarters because they were no longer a priority in the prevailing economic climate. Nevertheless, there has been evidence for some weeks now that customers are once more looking to the future and exploring ideas constructively. Projects from the new markets (ttis) can currently be handles using existing capacity without any great difficulty.
technotrans has shed considerable human resources capacity since the start of the crisis and adjusted to the new, lower level of revenue. At the reporting date of June 30, 2010 the group had 22% fewer employees in Germany and 35% fewer internationally than at the corresponding date in 2008. The instrument of short-time has been used for the past 16 months at the German locations in order to maintain the level of expertise. It is planned to adhere to this policy for the coming months, depending on the volume of business.
Personnel expenses amounted to 14.3 million or 35.1% in the first half. That is € 2.6 million or 15.6% below the figure for the corresponding period of the previous year. Based on the revenue level for the month of June 2010, the expenditure ratio was 30.7% and therefore almost at the level of 2008 (29.4%). Our aim is to bring this indicator back down below the 30% mark in the short term.
Employees
Whereas the trading price had exhibited a marked downward trend in the first quarter of 2010, it recovered in the course of the second quarter to reach a yearhigh of € 6.00 at the start of May. However, major disposals by an institutional investor pushed it back down towards € 5.25 as the quarter progressed. As the general tone of announcements by the printing industry has cautiously improved in recent months and the pressure from sell-offs has abated, we are optimistic that the trading price will soon move beyond the current bandwidth. Analysts have recently expressed potential as high as € 9.00.

There have been increasing signs over the past few weeks that the printing industry has overcome the worst of the crisis. Feedback from exhibitors at this year's major international industry exhibition, the Birmingham IPEX, was positive – partly because expectations beforehand had been so muted. The mood following the ExpoPrint in Brazil was much more enthusiastic. The recovery in the printing industry continues to be underpinned by emerging countries (Asia, South America), while the upturn in other regions (Japan, USA) is still awaited.
The German industry barometer, the Ifo business confidence index for the printing industry, has been slowly on the mend since the opening months of last year but the readings are still well into negative territory. These conditions are not yet conducive to prompting businesses to invest. The latest announcements by printing press manufacturers indicate a revival in orders but revenue is still improving only very tentatively. This underpins our expectations of a slightly more dynamic business performance in the second half which, bearing in mind the weak start to the year, will be needed if we are to achieve our revenue and earnings targets for the 2010 financial year as a whole.
Activities in the new markets area (ttis) will not yet make any significant contribution to revenue in the current financial year. Considering the large number of options that we have currently identified and evaluated, we are nevertheless confident that we will succeed in transforming technotrans into a genuine growth company once again.
Following a cautious start to the 2010 financial year, the second quarter brought the hoped-for turnaround. Revenue finally rose both compared with the prior-year period and with the previous quarter. The recent marked rise in the level of orders for printing press manufacturers leads us to expect a growing volume of business likewise filtering through to technotrans' figures over the coming quarters, to the benefit of both its revenue and its profitability.
In pursuing activities focusing on applications away from the printing industry we are generating fresh future potential in an effort to safeguard the company's long-term growth.
On the one hand the Services segment comprises product support services, in other words installation, maintenance, repair and parts business. We expect business to remain steady over the coming quarters. If project business where we supply the various equipment and systems and also take charge of its installation recovers as expected in the foreseeable future, growth is entirely possible. On the other hand this segment also incorporates the company gds AG (technical documentation), which succeeded in strengthening its position in the German market. Together with its subsidiary in Switzerland, we expect that its contribution to revenue and earnings will also rise still further.
All in all, we expect to achieve our revenue target (€ 85 to 90 million) for the current financial year; the pace of development in the second half will substantially determine how far we can progress beyond the lower end of this range. At present market visibility is insufficient for us to provide a more reliable forecast. Our performance in the first half of the year showed that technotrans has successfully returned to sustained profitability even from a low level of revenue. We continue to expect a margin of between 3 and 5% for the second half. Here, too, an upturn in revenue would have clearly positive effects and would pave the way for EBIT margins in excess of 5%.
| Opportunities and risks report |
The principal opportunities and risks of the group's anticipated future develop ment are described in the group management report for the past financial year. In the period under review no significant changes over and above those portrayal in this report, and in particular in the report on post-balance sheet date events below, have occurred in respect of developments in the remaining months of the current financial year. |
|---|---|
| Report on post-balance sheet date events |
In July/August 2010 negotiations with the principal owner of Termotek AG on cooperation between the companies were brought to a successful conclusion. This means technotrans is expanding into the market for laser technology appli cations. If the cooperation lives up to expectations, there is scope to intensify it. |
To the best of our knowledge, and in accordance with the applicable reporting principles for interim financial reporting, the interim consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the group, and the interim management report of the group includes a fair review of the development and performance of the business and the position of the group, together with a description of the principal opportunities and risks associated with the expected development of the group for the remaining months of the financial year.
