The condensed consolidated half yearly statements on June 30, 2020 were closed by the Board on July 29, 2020.
During the first half of 2020 the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic impacted global economic activity and by extension, that of Thermador Groupe and its subsidiaries.
Our devolved organisation, made up of small structures, enabled us to take health safety measures extremely quickly. Fortunately, none of our employees were seriously affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.
The digitisation of our organisations was already well advanced on 14 March 2020. Homeworking came on stream very quickly and efficiently for all employees who could do their jobs remotely.
Our logistics and management staff were physically present. Only Rousseau's Spanish site in Madrid had to close its doors for 15 days to protect employee health. All the other companies in the group continued to serve their customers, in some cases winning us market share. Overall, the commitment and sturdiness of our staff during this period was a major asset.
The closures of our suppliers' plants in France and around the world lasted only a few weeks. They did not all occur simultaneously, but in line with the lockdown measures taken independently by the different governments. At the same time, sales slowed enormously, meaning stock-outs were never a problem.
On the contrary, we had to limit inventory growth that could have resulted from the sharp drop in sales. Sourcing control was orchestrated by each subsidiary, in close cooperation with our suppliers. Number of days of consumed purchases, stock increased from 168 days on June 30, 2019 to 177 days on June 30, 2020.
To date, none of our customers or suppliers has been placed under safeguard procedures. In number of days' sales, receivables increased from 57.2 days on June 30, 2019 to 64.5 days on June 30, 2020. This is the result of excellent follow-up by our subsidiaries and the loyalty of our customers.
The French government and the European authorities adopted some forceful measures to support the economy, which have helped keep many of our customers in business. State-guaranteed loans have been granted to several of them. In addition, partial unemployment was financed for us by the State, which we used as a last resort, for a consolidated total of €485,000 during the first half of the year, representing 12% of our worked hours between March 16 and June 30.
Our two banking partners have supported us unreservedly by deferring loan instalments for a total amount of €4.6m, by financing an external growth operation for €7m on April 30, 2020 and by granting us additional overdraft facilities.
From the beginning of the crisis to 9 June 2020, we published information on the impact of the crisis every two weeks. We have also increased the number of video-conferences with our shareholders.
As our debt ratio is extremely low, we have been able to maintain the proposed dividend for 2019. This resolution was approved at a digital AGM attended by 65.8% of voting rights.
We will be in a position to better quantify the impact of all of this at the end of 2020. To date, we have seen a 4.3% decline in turnover and a 7.1% decline in operating profit at the end of the first half of 2020 (at constant scope).
On April 30, 2020, THERMADOR GROUPE has finalized with ACOME group the acquisition of all THERMACOME's shares, a company based in Saint-James (Manche county, France) for a total of €7 million via a cash payment on April 30, 2020. For the purpose, THERMADOR GROUPE has taken out two very competitive, fixed-rate, five-year loans with CIC Lyonnaise de Banque and Société Générale banks.
THERMACOME is specialised in conception, thermal engineering and distribution of sanitation water pipework systems and heating and thermal comfort in buildings. It is in the same markets as PBtub (THERMADOR GROUPE subsidiary), with highly complementary know-how and development projects, both in terms of clientele and market segment. In 2019 THERMACOME and its 32 employees reported turnover of €19.4m and €972,000 operating profit. On December 31, 2019, the company's net cash position was €1.8m.
The project includes keeping the Saint-James site and the skills associated with it, and developing a close, long-standing partnership for the supply of PER tubes by ACOME, manufactured in their Mortain industrial site (Manche county, France).

In application of European regulation 1606/2002 of July 19th 2002, the consolidated financial statements of Thermador Groupe are prepared according to international financial information standards (IAS/IFRS compliant with IFRS and IASB) as adopted by the European Union on June 30. 2020 With the exception of the points mentioned below, the accounting principles used are identical to those adopted for the financial statements of December 31, 2019.
In the financial statements presented hereafter, all standards and compulsory application interpretations on January 1, 2020 have been applied. No accounting standard is applied by anticipation.
The IFRS 15 standard, first applied on January 1, 2018 only concerns the reclassification of advertising expenditure.
Our turnovers mainly comprise sales of finished products. Sales are stated net of trade discounts and customer rebates, as well as net of costs relating to trade support and listing or linked to occasional promotional actions invoiced by customers. Turnover recognition applies as of the moment of delivery. Our group is not subject to other performance obligations linked to ancillary services (installation and/or maintenance of merchandise, etc.).
Concerning warrantees, our Group only complies with legal warrantees. The impacts of these warrantees in respect of IFRS 15 are insignificant and therefore are not reprocessed.
Advertising spend having given rise to reclassification according to IFRS 15 reflect discounts or payments for separate services to our distributor customers, the amount of which is calculated as a percentage of turnover. These advertising spends were accounted for as external charges. This reclassification has no impact on the result. In the absence of an impact on equity at the start of the financial period, Thermador Groupe applied the so-called 'simplified' retrospective transition method on January 1st, 2018.
The table below details financial aggregates as they would have been if IAS 11 and IAS 18 had been applied for that financial year:
| In thousands of euros | 30/06/2020 | 30/06/2019 | 31/12/2019 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Turnover according to IAS 11 and IAS 18 | 190 778 | 193 562 | 373 343 |
| Impact IFRS 15 | (2 909) | (2 863) | (4 507) |
| Turnover according to IFRS 15 | 187 869 | 190 699 | 368 836 |
| External charges before IFRS 15 | (17 831) | (19 499) | (37 887) |
| Impact IFRS 15 | 2 909 | 2 863 | 4 507 |
| External charges after IFRS 15 | (14 922) | (16 636) | (33 380) |

IFRS standard 9 requires application of the depreciation model based on expected losses on all financial assets, including commercial debt, as of January 1, 2018. On the basis of these past five years, irrecoverable losses have represented an average of 0.1% of consolidated turnover. This non-significant impact did not justify an equity-type provision at the beginning of the financial period on June 30, 2018 or for the end-of-year results of December 31, 2019, and of June 30, 2020.
The 'rental contracts' IFRS 16 standards came into force for financial years beginning as of January 1, 2019. We opted for the simplified retrospective method.
Application of the IFRS 16 standard concerns the presentation and accounting of rental contracts. Rental contracts such as those defined by the 'rental contracts' IFRS 16 standards are booked on the balance sheet which results in the recognition:
On the starting date of a rental contract, the right of use is assessed at its cost (i.e. the total of rents discounted against the period of the contract) and includes the initial amount of the debt. For rental contracts with a starting date prior to January 1, 2019 the starting date applied was January 1, 2019.
The right-of-use is amortised over the period of use of the subjacent assets (lease term for the rent component).
On the starting date of a rental contract, the lease liability is booked for an amount equal to the discounted value of rents over the period of the contract. The amounts taken into account for rents in the assessment of debt are as follows:
Assessment of liabilities linked to the rental contract:
Also, the liabilities can be re-valued in the following situations:
The group has identified rental contracts according to the standard for the buildings rented by its subsidiaries Mecafer, FGinox, Rousseau, Distrilabo and Thermacome. Those rental contracts have a duration of 3-6-9 years without a renewal option on the lease term, excepted for that of Thermacome, which is three years. The duration used to calculate the lease liabilities is 9 years (excepted for Thermacome, which is three years) in compliance with the ANC recommendations.
The discount rate used to calculate the rental debt for each asset is determined according to the marginal indebtedness rate on the starting date of the contract. We have used one single rate for all the buildings, the properties being usually purchased by S.C.I. Thely which is 100% held by Thermador Groupe. This rate corresponds to the interest rate that the tenant would, at the beginning of the rental period, obtain to borrow the funds necessary to purchase the asset over a period with a similar guarantee and in a similar economic environment. The rate is obtained by adding the '10-year lead borrowing rate' and the spread that is specific to Thermador Groupe (the rate gap between Thermador Groupe's marginal lending rate and the '10-year lead borrowing rate').

The main lease contracts identified are for vehicles and photocopiers. The capitalisation period for rents corresponds to the compulsory engagement period of the contract, with the majority of contracts not including renewal options. The discount rate used to calculate the rental debt is determined for each asset according to the marginal indebtedness rate at the date the contract comes into force (cf. paragraph 'real estate' to understand how the marginal indebtedness rate is determined). This discount rate is different from the discount rate used for 'real estate' rental contracts.
The group uses two exceptions allowed by the IFRS 16 standard which means that they do not need to be booked on the balance sheet: short-period contracts and contracts concerning low-value assets:

The consolidation scope concerns all companies of the group. This was modified in 2020: acquisition of 100 % of Thermacome's capital on April 30, 2020.
(*) Thermador International changed its name and is now called Syveco.
(**) Rousseau SA was consolidated in the Rousseau sub-perimeter on December 31. 2019. On June 30. 2020, Rousseau SA is consolidated in the Thermador Groupe perimeter.
(***) Deco holding (Sodeco Valves) is the sub-perimeter made of Sodeco Distribution (Belgium), Sodalis Investment (Belgium), Sodeco Valves BV (Netherlands), Sodeco Valves AG (Switzerland), Sodeco Armaturen GMBH (Germany) and Sodeco Sedin (France).

The base method used to assess elements entered into the accounts is the historical cost method except for financial instruments (short-terms and derivatives) which are assessed at their actual value.
Goodwill arising from the acquisition of S.C.I Thely shares by Thermador Groupe in 1987 and 1990 was allocated to Land and Buildings: this adjustment was not applied to minority interests. This goodwill is amortised through income statement in accordance with the accounting principles applying to the related fixed assets. Thus, the spread attributed to land was not amortised and the spread allocated to constructions was amortised according to the forecast residual service life of the constructions.

When new subsidiaries were included in the scope, in application of the revised version of IFRS 3, goodwill was recorded. This accounts for synergies we would expect from the inclusion of new activities of the new businesses acquired, as well as economies of scale generated by sharing resources. It is attributed to groups of cash generating units (CGU), represented by each company acquired.
The acquisition price of the companies corresponds to the fair value on the date of acquisition of the elements of earnings given to the seller in exchange for the control of the acquired assets, excluding any element which remunerates any transaction separate from the takeover.

Reprocessing pertained to:
Via its subsidiary Axelair, Thermador Groupe acquired Vortice France on December 31, 2017 for €850,000. The portion attributable to African customers, valued at €30,000 was transferred to Syveco on December 31, 2018.
On October 30th 2018, Sodeco Sedin sold 80% of its business for €550,000. The net accounting value of this asset was €25,000 on October 30th 2018. The €525,000 gain was booked as 'other operating incomes' in Sodeco Valves' CGU. The purchase price of €10m for Sodeco Valves was not reduced as a result because no portion of this price was attributable to Sodeco Sedin's business capital. We should remind you that Sodeco Sedin was in competition with distributor customers of our subsidiaries Sferaco and Sectoriel, and continued operation of this business could have been unfavourable to those two subsidiaries. Furthermore, Sodeco Sedin recorded operating losses for 2017, 2016 and 2015.
The €1,428,000 goodwill was wholly allocated 'goodwill' item. Reprocessing pertained to:
Allocation of a part of the fair value acquisition of the Sanidom/ Rousseau land on December 31, 2018 of €952,000 minus a deferred taxation liability of €238,000,
Allocation of a part of the fair value acquisition of the Rousseau building on December 31, 2018 for a total of €2,584,000 minus a deferred tax liability of €659,000,

Impairment tests (IAS 36) are performed once a year at least for units generating cash having acquired goodwill in compliance with IAS 8 as per the presentation of sector-based information. These cash generating units were defined according to business sector criteria. Given the group's organisation and the distribution of the different business fields, the cash generating units chosen by the group comprise of the legal entities Jetly, Sferaco, Thermador, Dipra, Isocel, PBtub, Sectoriel, Syveco, Axelair, Mecafer/ Domac, Aello, Sodeco Valves, FGinox, Edouard Rousseau, Distrilabo, and Thermacome, and a separate grouping comprising Thely, Opaline, Tagest and Thermador Groupe (cf. note 18). Following the COVID-19 crisis we have performed impairment tests on the cash generating units that might have showed value decrease.
The results of impairment tests on this 'goodwill', based in particular on future forecast net cash flows over a period of five years and a subsequent growth rate of 1%, discounted at 8.3%, explain the absence of provisions. The discount rate was calculated according to the 30-year treasury bond rate TEC (Constant Maturity Treasuries), French market risk, and sector risk, i.e. 1.11%, a specific risk premium and a COVID-19 premium of 0.5%. A reasonable variation of the discount rate of +/– 0.5% was applied in our depreciation tests.
Revision on the key assumptions of turnover, profits, working capital and cash have taken the COVID-19 crisis impacts into account.
A recent variation of the key assumptions including this discount rate variation does not show any particular sensitivity in any of the CGUs assessed.

(2) The finance law fixed the percentage of non-deductible fees and charges on subsidiaries' dividends at 5%. This represents a corporation tax charge on dividends of €538,000 which will be paid to Thermador Groupe in 2020.
(3) The tax rate of 28% for 2020, 26.5% for 2021 and 25% as of 2022 were observed for June 30, 2020 to take into account the programmed changes to the tax rate according to the size of the company in the 2018 finance law (article 84). The impact of the variation in deferred tax rates is a €19,000 charge. This quantum concerns legal participation, losses carried forward, pension provisions and nondeductible provisions on stock.

Corporate representatives receive no fringe benefit or stock options based on performance. There are no golden parachutes or golden handshakes for corporate officers. Corporate officers have no special retirement plan. They do not receive any compensation linked to non-competition clauses or termination compensation.
The retirement commitment concerns the payment of a retirement bonus authorised by the Board Meeting of December 19, 2003. This bonus is calculated in the same way as that paid to a manager according to the conventions of article 5 of amendment I of the industry-wide agreement for the wholesale business.
On June 30, 2020, the total of the commitment corresponding to this bonus for board members and corporate representatives was €356,400.
Note 10 – Significant events occurring after the closing statements:
No significant change to the Group's financial or commercial structure has occurred since the end of the financial half year, except for:
In July 2020 one of our customers, the Fransbonhomme group, opted for a €60m state-guaranteed loan (PGE) from a consortium of French banks alongside other creditors of the group. As a result, the whole of the outstanding amount due of €1.3m was settled by July 24, 2020.
Our principal risks are mentioned in our 2019 universal registration document in chapter 4 – Risk factors Following sanitary crisis during 2020 first half year, we reviewed our risk factors, and we added the factor « global pandemic » (cf. note1 – Main events of the financial half year)
The nature of the main risks was not modified for the first half of 2020. We however would like to give some more information about note 21 of our 2019 universal registration document.
Credit risk: we have no major customers default for first 2020 half year. We remain particularly vigilant for debt collection in the post-covid period.

The company has performed a specific liquidity risk review, taking into account the Covid-19 health crisis. It concludes that it is in a position to meet its future financial obligations. The situation at June 30, 2020 is positive (cash flow statements on page 5 of our half-yearly memo). The group can access unused short-term cash facilities. None of the outstanding bank loans contain covenants or guarantees. We are not exposed to any risk of early repayment or interest rate adjustment.
Over the past twelve months there has been no governmental, judicial, arbitration or administrative procedure (including any procedure of which we may have knowledge, any that may be subject to suspension or any that represents a potential threat) which could have or would recently have had significant effects on the Group's financial situation or profitability.
On April 3rd 2017, Thermador Groupe and its subsidiaries Aello and Jetly were taken before the commercial tribunal of Rennes by the companies Diffusion Equipements Loisirs – D.E.L. and Multifija on the grounds of unfair competition and parasitism on the market for swimming pool equipment and accessories.
We deplore this legal action and fully reject these accusations. On June 26, 2018, our lawyer pleaded before the Court of Appeal against the decision of the Commercial Tribunal of Rennes handed down on March 20, 2018, rejecting our plea on erroneous jurisdiction to the Arbitral Tribunal. The deliberation of the Court of Appeal dated October 2, 2018 rejected our application. The Supreme Court found in favour of our appeal, thus overturning the decision of the Court of Appeal in December 2019. In February 2020, we represented our erroneous jurisdiction conclusions before the Court of Appeal and our lawyer pleaded in July 2020.
Following the October 2019 hearing before the Commercial Court of Rennes in an unfair competition suit, the latter struck the case off for lack of diligence on the part of the plaintiffs, D.E.L. and Multifija. To date, the case has not reappeared on the court's books.
We remain confident as to the results of these procedures. No provision was entered on June 30, 2020 because to date we have no obligation to do so, and it cannot be estimated in any reliable way.

In publishing our 2019 Universal Registration Document, we made a special effort to describe the risks that our group could face and the consequences of one sort of occurrence or another. This work was somewhat in vain, given that we were not able to predict that a global pandemic would cause the temporary closure of our suppliers' factories, illness affecting some of our employees and the collapse of sales for several weeks. Fortunately, the commitment of our staff and our devolved organisation proved highly resilient in the face of the unexpected, which is very reassuring for the future.
We therefore thank our employees for their courage, lucidity and responsiveness in such difficult circumstances, especially those physically present on our logistics sites.
The group's other stakeholders also rose to the challenge: the majority of our customers met their obligations, our suppliers adapted their manufacturing programmes, our bankers supported our cash flow and the French authorities reacted pragmatically and quickly. You yourselves, as shareholders of Thermador Groupe, held your nerve during the stock market storm that followed the health crisis. We would also like to thank you for your contribution.
These internal and external forces combined to enable us to achieve the impossible in June 2020, as we recorded a 25% increase in turnover compared to June 2019. This rescues our second quarter revenue tally, which is down only 8.9%, and our first half year turnover, which is down only 4.3%. The turnover trends presented here are on a like-for-like basis, without taking into account our two most recent acquisitions.
The onboarding of Distrilabo, acquired on December 31, 2019 and Thermacome, acquired on April 30, 2020, is proceeding as planned, helped by the cooperative approach adopted by the staff concerned. Their objectives and strategies within the group have been presented and challenged by the members of the Executive Committee and of the Board.
Effective cost control enabled us to limit the impact on operating income, which only declined 7.1%, at constant scope. If we factor in the results for Distrilabo and Thermacome, the fall is only 6.6%.
Our focus is on our net cash position, which remains at a more than adequate level (€8.7m), despite a relative increase in stock (0.6 months of purchasing consumed) and late payment on the part of a major customer. A post-closing event note 10 page 22 of our half-year does however mention that this unusual situation with the aforementioned customer has now been settled. All in all, customer receivables have only increased by 7.3 days' turnover.
Our financial debt of €47.5m (excl. IFRS16) remains reasonable when set against our equity, which stands at €222.6m.
The main transactions are detailed in note 10 of the notes to the half-year financial statements.
Main risks are those related to economic activity. Their type has not been modified during the first half year. These risks are mentioned in our 2019 universal registration document.
The decline in GDP in the European countries where we operate and the estimated 46% drop in planning permits for housing construction in France between March and May 2020 will undoubtedly have a negative impact on our business from autumn 2020 onwards. However, the increase in our market share during the crisis and the proven success of certain energy-efficiency product lines mean we can uphold our longterm ambition outlined on page 10 of our 2019 Universal Registration Document.
Since 2016, we have confirmed the Chairman & CEO succession process in the event of an accident or sudden unavailability on a yearly basis. Since that time, Jean-François Bonnefond, Chairman & CEO of Jetly and Deputy CEO of Thermador Groupe, has been appointed to take over the position. Anticipating his retirement and the end of his term of office as director in April 2021, Thermador Groupe's Executive Committee met for the first time in conclave to identify the person from amongst their number who would have the qualities to succeed him and the will to take on the responsibility. After three rounds of voting, a majority emerged in favour of Lionel Monroe, currently Chairman & CEO of Syveco. The directors, who had been involved in this new process from the outset to identify the required profile, approved this decision at the Board meeting held on July 29. As a result, Lionel Monroe will be put forward as a Board member at the General Meeting scheduled for Tuesday 6 April 2021 and appointed Deputy CEO of Thermador Groupe for a period of 4 years at the Board meeting scheduled for 7 April 2021.

To my knowledge I certify that the condensed consolidated half yearly statements have been drawn up in compliance with prevailing accounting standards and reliably reflect the assets, financial situation and profits of the company and all the companies in the consolidated accounts, and the half yearly management report presents a reliable account of the business trends of the first six months of the year as well as a description of the main risks and uncertainties which those companies face for the six remaining months of the year.
Saint Quentin Fallavier, July 29, 2020 Guillaume Robin Chairman &CEO.

To the Shareholders,
In compliance with the assignment entrusted to us by your general assembly and in accordance with the requirements of article L. 451-1-2 III of the French Monetary and Financial Code (« Code monétaire et financier »), we hereby report to you on:
The condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements were prepared under the responsibility of the Board of Directors on July 29th, 2020 on the basis of the information available at that date in the evolving context of the crisis related to Covid-19 and of difficulties in assessing its impact and future prospects. Our role is to express a conclusion on these financial statements based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with professional standards applicable in France. 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 professional standards applicable in France 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 halfyearly consolidated financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 – standard of the IFRSs as adopted by the European Union applicable to interim financial information.
We have also verified the information presented in the half-yearly management report on the condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements subject to our review prepared on July 29th, 2020. We have no matters to report as to its fair presentation and consistency with the condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements.
