| 8. TER BEKE IN BRIEF21 |
As expected, the first half of the year was characterized by a significant improvement of the results compared to the first half of 2020 -thanks to the initiatives taken earlier to improve the profitability of the company and despite a continuing impact of COVID-19 on the food service business (mainly at KK Fine Foods).
As previously announced, the sale of the captive reinsurance company Ter Beke Luxembourg was completed on June 18th , 2021. This - together with the costs related to the change in CEO - resulted in a non-underlying cost of EUR 5.4 million.
Furthermore, the group succeeded in further reducing its net indebtedness. Compared to the end of 2020, net debt decreased by EUR 8 million and leverage (net debt / underlying EBITDA in the last 12 months) decreased further to 1.5 times.
This resulted in the following key results:
The result is the combination of:
The debt ratio decreased due to a continued focus on managing working capital. The implementation of a scrip dividend will result in a limited cash outflow in the second half of the year as 56.39% of the shareholders opted to participate in the share capital increase.
As a result of the combination of all of the above:
The turnover of the division decreased by EUR 6.3 million (-3%) compared to 2020. This was mainly due to the termination or non-renewal of a number of unprofitable contracts in 2021.
The processed meats industry - both for products and slicing activities - continues to be characterised by fierce price competition, which ultimately benefits the consumer.
In the Netherlands, the market share of meat and meat products with a "Beter Leven Keurmerk" (ENG. Better Life Certificate) is considerable. In order to encourage pig farmers to implement the animal welfare criteria of the "Beter Leven" (Better Life) concept, they are rightly paid a premium. Through socalled "automatic price changes", this premium is also applied further down the chain, so that raw material price increases are translated into the price of end products. In Belgium too, there are numerous voices today in favour of such a programme, which would guarantee the animal welfare and the viability of the entire chain.
In the Benelux countries, the UK and Germany - where Ter Beke is primarily active in processed meats - many consumers are showing increasing interest in healthier recipes (e.g. less salt), better traceability and sustainable production. Sustainability in the processed meats industry is mainly about stronger chain cooperation and recyclable or reduced packaging. Ter Beke is in a leading position to respond to this.
Furthermore we see an increase in importance of, for example, the Nutri-Score and similar alternatives. Here too, Ter Beke assumes its role and we are actively cooperating with our customers to further optimise the quality of our products.
The turnover of the division decreased by EUR 8.1 million (-6%) compared to 2020. This decrease is mainly due to the impact of COVID-19. Since March 2020, the closure of (and the restrictions within) the food service industry caused a decline in sales in the food service channel. In 2021, sales in this channel continued to be hit particularly hard by the COVID-19 pandemic - especially at our UK subsidiary KK Fine Foods Ltd. However, we do see that the relaxation of the measures is leading to a very gradual recovery in sales.
Furthermore, the group also incurred costs to ensure the safety of its employees, but these were less significant when compared to the first half of last year.
Ter Beke has a network of five production facilities thus being able to deliver the whole of Europe. As a reminder, Ter Beke is the European market leader in its Ready Meals segment, briefly described as chilled, Mediterranean pasta meals. During the first half of the year, the division also succeeded in starting up its first production aimed at the Russian market.
Highlights for the various companies in the Ready Meals Division:
The ready meals industry in Europe continues to offer good perspectives:

Ter Beke (Euronext Brussels: TERB) is an innovative Belgian group that markets fresh food in many European countries.
The group has 2 core activities: processed meats and ready meals, has 12 industrial sites in Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Poland and the United Kingdom and employs around 2,650 people. Ter Beke realized a turnover of EUR 717.4 million in 2020.
READY MEALS DIVISION
The above condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six-month period ended 30 June 2021 have been prepared in accordance with IAS-34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the EU. These statements do not contain all the information required for full annual financial statements and should therefore be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the reporting period ended 31 December 2020, as published in the Annual Report to shareholders for the financial year 2020.
These condensed consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on 26 August 2021.
The accounting standards used in the preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2020. Standards and interpretations applicable for the financial year beginning 1 January 2021 do not have a material impact on the balance sheet. The Group also expects that the standards and interpretations published but not yet applicable for the financial year beginning 1 January 2021 will have no material impact.
The methods for valuing assets and liabilities measured at fair value were consistently applied for each applicable category (Level 1: derivatives and Level 3: put/call option relating to KK Fine Foods Ltd.) as described in the 2020 Annual Report. There are no material changes for Level 3 with respect to unobservable market figures as compared to 31 December 2020. No transfers between categories took place during the first 6 months of 2021.
The General Meeting of 27 May 2021 approved the Board of Directors' dividend proposal (gross 4.00 EUR/share). The group's shareholders opted for 56.39% of their shares entitled to dividend to be contributed in exchange for new shares rather than the payment of the dividend in cash.
For Ter Beke this results in a strengthening of its equity of EUR 2,790,569.60 (capital and share premium) through the creation of 26,936 new shares. As a result, the total number of Ter Beke shares will be 1,794,217 as from 1 July 2021. The creation of new shares will also increase the denominator in the calculation of the earnings per share for the entire financial year. The other dividends were paid out in cash on July 5th 2021. Including total withholding tax, this amounts to a total cash payment of EUR 4,278,554.40. This capital increase reduces the debt ratio by approximately 0.7% compared to a 100% dividend payment in cash. As a result of the scrip dividend, a cash outflow was avoided (in proportion to the contribution of the dividend rights to Ter Beke's capital).
With the exception of slightly higher activity at the end of the calendar year, the group's figures are virtually unaffected by seasonal effects.
Under IAS-34, the balance sheet as at 30 June 2021 should be compared with the balance sheet as at 31 December 2020.
The group invested EUR 7.2 million in property, plant & equipment in the first half of 2021 compared to EUR 15 million in the same period of 2020. This mainly concerns the continuation of efficiency investments and adjustments to the infrastructure at the various sites.
Inventories were slightly higher than last year and increased by EUR 0.9 million to EUR 38.8 million and are due to slightly higher stocks of finished products in the Ready Meals Division, which were low at the end of 2020 in the run-up to the Brexit.
The assets held for sale are related to the transfer of the building in Aalsmeer to assets available for sale.
Furthermore, trade receivables decreased by EUR 12.4 million from EUR 99.5 million to EUR 87 million. This is due to lower turnover figures and strong customer follow-up.
The net financial debts decrease by EUR 7.9 million to EUR 92 million. This decrease is mainly explained by the use of the net positive cash flow from operating activities of EUR 22.2 million, minus EUR 12.6 million paid investments (corrected for income from divestments) with paid interests of EUR 1.4 million and purchase of a minority interest of EUR 0.3 million.
The calculation of net financial debt at 30 June 2021 and 31 December 2020 is as follows:
| In '000 EUR | 30/06/2021 | 31/12/2020 |
|---|---|---|
| Cash and cash equivalents | -9.596 | -19.143 |
| Long-term interest-bearing liabilities | 93.156 | 106.873 |
| Short-term interest-bearing liabilities | 8.409 | 12.179 |
| Net financial debts | 91.969 | 99.909 |
In order to guarantee the group's further liquidity during the COVID-19 crisis, the group also renegotiated its covenants under the EUR 175 million Revolving Credit Facility (RCF) with the consortium of banks. The net debt/adjusted EBITDA leverage covenant ratio (all excluding IFRS 16) was adjusted to 4.25 for 30/6/2021 and 3.75 for 31/12/2021. Furthermore, a temporary liquidity covenant was agreed whereby the group must maintain a liquidity headroom of at least EUR 20 million for the period up to and including 31/12/2021. At 30/6/2021, this liquidity headroom exceeded EUR 120 million.
Given the fact that the leverage under the RCF definition falls back to 1.5 at 30/6/2021, the financing cost will fall back to a normal level as of 1/7/2021.
The difference in equity is mainly the result of the profit after tax for the first half of the year and the dividend approved by the General Shareholders Meeting.
The most important explanations of the results were explained in the section on key figures and headlines.1

The 'Services and miscellaneous goods' category comprises:
| in '000 EUR | 30/06/2021 | 30/06/2020 |
|---|---|---|
| Temporary workers and persons put at the | ||
| disposal of the company | 10.104 | 11.461 |
| Repair & Maintenance | 9.478 | 10.834 |

| Fees | 4.572 | 5.016 |
| Other | 4.425 | 2.272 |
| Total | 52.696 | 56.024 |
The 'rent' category consists of the short term leases and low value leases that Ter Beke (based on the possible exemptions in IFRS 16) did not capitalize.
The decrease compared to 2020 is partly due to a more proactive cost control.
We note a strong decrease in the cost of temporary labour and of transportation costs. Transportation costs decreased due to lower sales.
The items 'Other operating income and expenses' consist of:
| 30/06/2021 | 30/06/2020 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Local taxes | 1 918 | 1 903 | |
| Loss on sale participation | 3 977 | ||
| Loss on sale fixed assets | 22 | 152 | |
| Claims | 185 | 1 081 | |
| Others | 40 | 368 | |
| Total | 6 142 | 3 504 |
The other operating income is in line with 2020. The other operating costs show a strong increase due to the loss on the disposal of the captive reinsurance company Ter Beke Luxembourg. This sale also has a one-off negative impact on the consolidated cash flows from investing activities. Through this sale Ter Beke further reduces its recurring fixed cost base.
Net finance costs in the first half of 2021 are 25% higher than in the same period of 2020. This is due to the interest rate increase following the waiver that the Group applied for in 2020 on its Revolving Credit Facility (RCF) in the context of the COVID-19 crisis. The group expects the interest expense to decrease substantially again as a result of the positive covenant ratio 'net debt to adjusted EBITDA'.
The tax expense amounts to EUR 3.5 million compared to an income of EUR 2 million last year. This change is due to a better result before taxes compared to last year, but also to the non-deductible character of the loss on the sale of the captive reinsurance company Ter Beke Luxembourg.

The group continues to work on a further recovery of the results.
In the first half of 2021, no related party transactions took place that had a material impact on the group's financial position or results in this period.
The main risks for the remaining months of the financial year 2021 are largely the same as the risks and uncertainties described in the Annual Report for the financial year 2020. They mainly concern risks and uncertainties related to the quality and price fluctuations of the raw materials used. Furthermore, the group remains vigilant to limit the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic as much as possible.
The undersigned, Dirk Goeminne*, Chairman of the Board of Directors, and Yves Regniers**, Chief Financial Officer, declare that, to the best of their knowledge:

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Ter Beke NV as at 30 June 2021, the condensed consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the 6-month period then ended, and notes to the interim financial information ("the condensed consolidated interim financial information"). The board of directors is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this condensed consolidated interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the European Union. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this condensed consolidated interim financial information based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial information as at 30 June 2021 and for the 6-month period then ended is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the European Union.
