Ter Beke (Euronext Brussel: TERB) is an innovative Belgian fresh foods concern that markets its assortment in 10 European countries. The group has 2 core activities: processed meats and fresh ready meals; it has 8 industrial sites in Belgium and the Netherlands and employs approximately 1,750 people. Ter Beke generated a turnover of EUR 421.1 million in 2012.
The above condensed interim consolidated financial statements are set up in accordance with IAS-34 interim financial reporting, as accepted by the EU. These statements do not contain all information required for full annual accounts and need to be read together with the consolidated annual accounts for the reporting period ending 31 December 2012, as published in the annual report to the shareholders on the financial year 2012.
The group's scope of consolidation has not changed since 31 December 2012.
These condensed consolidated financial statements were approved for publication by the Board of Directors on 28 August 2013.
The valuation rules used in preparing these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those set out and applied in preparing the consolidated financial statements for the accounting period ending 31 December 2012.
New standards or interpretations applicable from 1 January 2013 have no significant impact on the condensed financial statements per 30 June 2013. Changes in IAS19 would have as a consequence that 2012 actuary losses (EUR 169 thousand) and historic service costs (EUR - 15 thousand) had to be imputed on equity rather than on the result. As the amounts concerned (EUR 154 thousand per 31 December 2012 and EUR 77 thousand per 30 June 2012) are immaterial compared to the total result, it was decided not to restate the 30 June 2012 and 31 December 2012 results.
No changes were made to the estimated amounts in the financial statements over the previous financial year.
The General Meeting of Shareholders of 30 May 2013 approved the dividend proposed by the Board of Directors (EUR 2.50/share). The awarded dividend amounted to a total of EUR 4,331,552.5, of which more than 99% had been paid out per 30 June 2013.
The results of the group are hardly influenced by seasonal effects, except for a higher level of activity in December.
There are no material events to be reported post balance sheet at the date of the present half year financial report.
In the first semester of 2013, no related party transactions occurred that had a material influence on the financial position or the results of the group in that period.
As of 1 June 2013, Dirk Goeminne, permanent representative of NV Fidigo, was appointed as new CEO of the group. A 5 year agreement was entered into with NV Fidigo. A fixed annual remuneration of EUR 500.000 is paid to NV Fidigo. In addition, an annual variable remuneration is paid to NV Fidigo in line with the provisions of the group variable remuneration policy. The base variable remuneration amounts to 25% of the total annual remuneration. Finally, at the end of the agreement, a cash remuneration is awarded to NV Fidigo, on the condition that an exceptional equity value growth is realised at that time. This remuneration is set at an agreed percentage of the exceptional equity value growth that is realised.
The investments of EUR 5.8 million in the first half of 2013 relate primarily to the continuation of efficiency and infrastructure investments in the various sites. In the first semester of 2012, EUR 5.7 million was invested.
The group is exposed to an exchange rate risk on sales in Pound Sterling (GBP). On 30 June 2013, long term contracts were open for the sale of GBP 3.0 million against EUR and an option to sell GBP 2.6 million against EUR. On 31 December 2012, long term contracts were open for the sale of GBP 5.1 million against EUR and an option to sell GBP 2.0 million against EUR. On 30 June 2013, no negative market value was recorded on open long term contracts (on 30 June 2012, no negative market value was recorded).
On 30 June 2013, the group had a net GBP position of GBP 1.2 million (GBP 1.4 million on 31 December 2012).
On 30 June 2013, the EUR/GBP balance sheet rate amounted to 0.8572 compared to 0.8068 on 31 December 2012. On 30 June 2013, the average result rate amounted to 0.8506 compared to 0.8234 on 30 June 2012.
Under IAS-34, the balance sheet figures of 30 June 2013 are to be compared with those of 31 December 2012. Changes in balance sheet items are limited as there have been no changes in the scope of consolidation since 31 December 2012.
Fixed assets drop by EUR 3.7 million. The tangible and intangible fixed assets decreased EUR 3.4 million as a result of EUR 5.8 million investments less EUR 9.2 million depreciations and write-downs. Financial fixed assets decrease EUR 0.3 million, chiefly as a result of the increased exchange rate of the Polish Zloty.
Net debt increased by EUR 1.0 million. This is the result of the incoming cash flow from operations (EUR 9.9 million) and financial movements (EUR 0.3 million), as opposed to an outgoing cash flow comprising paid up investments (EUR 6.0 million) and dividend and interest payments (EUR 5.2 million).
The equity difference is chiefly the result of the first semester after tax profit decreased with the dividend that was granted over the previous financial year.
In the first semester, the total group turnover decreased by EUR 5.6 million (-2.7%) from EUR 208.2 million to EUR 202.6 million.
The turnover of the Ready Meals Division decreased by EUR 10.4 million (-15.3%). This decrease is mainly due to the horsemeat crisis that, even though our products were not at all involved, has seriously affected consumer confidence in ready meals in general and lasagne in particular. With the aid of its suppliers and customers, the group has taken numerous actions in order to restore consumer confidence in the ready meals category.
The turnover of the Processed Meats Division increased by EUR 4.7 million (+3.3%). The increase in turnover is mainly due to an increase in sales prices subsequent to a rise in raw material prices and a further growth in the Dutch slicing and packaging activities.
The REBITDA decreased by EUR 1.4 million (-8.9%) from EUR 15.8 million in the first semester 2012 to EUR 14.4 million in the same period of 2013.
This is primarily due to lower sales in the ready meals division (see above).
Better results in the processed meats division, as well as a strict cost control allowed the group to partially compensate the effect of this turnover and result decrease.
Through specific actions to restore consumer confidence, sales under the Come a casa® brand resisted better. The brand confirms its leading role in the Mediterranean ready meals. In Belgium.

Recurring non-cash costs in the 2013 first semester (EUR 9.0 million) were EUR 0.3 million lower than the same period of 2012.
All this resulted in a decrease of the REBIT by 17.4% from EUR 6.5 million in 2012 to EUR 5.4 million in 2013.
On 5 April 2012 the group announced the intention to terminate industrial activity at the site in Alby-sur-Chéran (France). Meanwhile, this industrial activity was effectively terminated on 30 June 2012. The group did retain its commercial activities in France for products that are produced at the Belgian sites of the Ready Meals Division (Marche-en-Famenne and Wanze). The costs, amounting to EUR 1.1 million, regarding this termination were charged in full to the result of the first semester. These costs relate chiefly to personnel costs. Together with a number of other dismissal costs (- EUR 0.2 million) and a reversal of impairments on fixed assets (+ EUR 0.3 million) the non-recurrent result in the first semester of 2012 amounted to - EUR 1.0 million.
The non-recurrent result of the first semester 2013 consists of EUR 0.5 million dismissal costs and EUR 0.4 million one time costs relating to the horsemeat crisis.
Together with the aforementioned, this explains the decrease of the EBITDA by EUR 0.9 million (-6.2%) from EUR 14.5 million in 2012 to EUR 13.6 million in 2013 and the decrease of the EBIT by EUR 0.9 million (-17.0%) from EUR 5.5 million in 2012 to EUR 4.5 million in 2013.
The net financing costs in 2013 are EUR 0.8 million lower than in 2012. Exchange rate differences and interest differences each explain about half of this variance.
The first semester 2013 tax rate (22.4%) is in line with the tax percentage over the first semester of 2012 (23.8%).

The difference between the current GBP exchange rates and the standard exchange rates is added to the segment result in each period in order to obtain a better view on the economic result of the segment. On 30 June 2013 and 30 June 2012 this amount was non-material. This amount is corrected in the non-allocated results. They also contain the costs of central services that are not allocated to one of the divisions.
As the turnover between both segments is non-material, the group opted to report only the extra-group turnover.

In the first semester, the total group turnover decreased by EUR 5.6 million (-2.7%) from EUR 208.2 million to EUR 202.6 million.
The turnover of the Ready Meals Division decreased by EUR 10.4 million (-15.3%). This decrease is mainly due to the horsemeat crisis that, even though our products were not at all involved, has seriously affected consumer confidence in ready meals in general and lasagne in particular. With the aid of its suppliers and customers, the group has taken numerous actions in order to restore consumer confidence in the ready meals category.
The turnover of the Processed Meats Division increased by EUR 4.7 million (+3.3%). The increase in turnover is mainly due to an increase in sales prices subsequent to a rise in raw material prices and a further growth in the Dutch slicing and packaging activities.
Results of operating activities
The REBITDA decreased by EUR 1.4 million (-8.9%) from EUR 15.8 million in the first semester 2012 to EUR 14.4 million in the same period of 2013.
This is primarily due to lower sales in the ready meals division (see above).
Better results in the processed meats division, as well as a strict cost control allowed the group to partially compensate the effect of this turnover and result decrease.
Through specific actions to restore consumer confidence, sales under the Come a casa® brand resisted better. The brand confirms its leading role in the Mediterranean ready meals. In Belgium.
Recurring non-cash costs in the 2013 first semester (EUR 9.0 million) were EUR 0.3 million lower than the same period of 2012.
All this resulted in a decrease of the REBIT by 17.4% from EUR 6.5 million in 2012 to EUR 5.4 million in 2013.

The non-recurrent result of the first semester 2013 consists of EUR 0.5 million dismissal costs and EUR 0.4 million one time costs relating to the horsemeat crisis.
Together with the aforementioned, this explains the decrease of the EBITDA by EUR 0.9 million (-6.2%) from EUR 14.5 million in 2012 to EUR 13.6 million in 2013 and the decrease of the EBIT by EUR 0.9 million (-17.0%) from EUR 5.5 million in 2012 to EUR 4.5 million in 2013.
The net financing costs in 2013 are EUR 0.8 million lower than in 2012. Exchange rate differences and interest differences each explain about half of this variance.
The first semester 2013 tax rate (22.4%) is in line with the tax percentage over the first semester of 2012 (23.8%).
Under IAS-34, the balance sheet figures of 30 June 2013 are to be compared with those of 31 December 2012. Changes in balance sheet items are limited as there have been no changes in the scope of consolidation since 31 December 2012.
Fixed assets drop by EUR 3.7 million. The tangible and intangible fixed assets decreased EUR 3.4 million as a result of EUR 5.8 million investments less EUR 9.2 million depreciations and write-downs. Financial fixed assets decrease EUR 0.3 million, chiefly as a result of the increased exchange rate of the Polish Zloty.
Net debt increased by EUR 1.0 million. This is the result of the incoming cash flow from operations (EUR 9.9 million) and financial movements (EUR 0.3 million), as opposed to an outgoing cash flow comprising paid up investments (EUR 6.0 million) and dividend and interest payments (EUR 5.2 million).
The equity difference is chiefly the result of the first semester after tax profit decreased with the dividend that was granted over the previous financial year.
The investments of EUR 5.8 million in the first half of 2013 relate primarily to the continuation of efficiency and infrastructure investments in the various sites. In the first semester of 2012, EUR 5.7 million was invested.
26 June 2013 marks the start of the construction works on the new ready meals plant in Opole (Poland), constructed by the joint venture company The Pasta Food Company. As of mid 2014, this plant will produce ready meals for the Central and Eastern European markets.
It is at this stage impossible to assess how long the horsemeat crisis will continue to affect consumer confidence. The group is doing its utmost to neutralise its negative impact in the second semester as well.
Depending on this and save for any other unforeseen market circumstances, the group remains confident that the full year result 2013 can still equal that of 2012.
In the first semester of 2013, no related party transactions occurred that had a material influence on the financial position or the results of the group in that period.
As of 1 June 2013, Dirk Goeminne, permanent representative of NV Fidigo, was appointed as new CEO of the group. A 5 year agreement was entered into with NV Fidigo. A fixed annual remuneration of EUR 500.000 is paid to NV Fidigo. In addition, an annual variable remuneration is paid to NV Fidigo in line with the provisions of the group variable remuneration policy. The base variable remuneration amounts to 25% of the total annual remuneration. Finally, at the end of the agreement, a cash remuneration is awarded to NV Fidigo, on the condition that an exceptional equity value growth is realised at that time. This remuneration is set at an agreed percentage of the exceptional equity value growth that is realised.
The material risks and uncertainties for the remainder of 2013 are largely the same as described on pages 31-32 of the annual report on the financial year 2012 and relate primarily to the quality and price fluctuations of the raw materials used.
The undersigned, Dirk Goeminne*, Managing Director, and René Stevens, Chief Financial Officer, declare that, to their knowledge:

To the board of directors
We have performed a limited review of the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheet, condensed income statement, condensed statement of comprehensive income, condensed cash flow statement, condensed statement of changes in equity and selective notes (jointly the "interim financial information") of Ter Beke NV ("the company") and its subsidiaries (jointly "the group") for the sixmonth period ended 30 June 2013. The board of directors of the company is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of this interim financial information. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.
The interim financial information has been prepared in accordance with international financial reporting standard IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the European Union.
Our limited review of the interim financial information was conducted in accordance with international standard ISRE 2410 – Review of interim financial information performed by the independent auditor of the entity. A limited review consists of making inquiries of group management and applying analytical and other review procedures to the interim financial information and underlying financial data. A limited review is substantially less in scope than an audit performed in accordance with the International Standards on Auditing (ISA). Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the interim financial information.
Based on our limited review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial information for the six-month period ended 30 June 2013 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the European Union.
