Many of these risks and uncertainties relate to factors that are beyond the Company's ability to control or estimate precisely, such as future market conditions, currency fluctuations, the behaviour of other market participants, the actions of regulators and other factors such as the Company's ability to continue to obtain financing to meet its liquidity needs, changes in the political, social and regulatory framework in which the Group operates or in economic or technological trends or conditions.

Statement of the CEO

Dr. Joachim Kuhn, Co-Founder and CEO va-Q-tec

"The IPO proceeds are a cornerstone for our further growth.

In Q3 2016, we made large steps towards achieving our revenue and profitability goals for the full year. Our healthcare & logistics business remains the key growth driver, complemented by exciting projects in our other end markets. We have also successfully introduced new products into the market."

Group revenues, Q1 - Q3 2016

Comments

Several one-off sales effects in Q1 2016, mainly in the Systems segment (NHS project in UK, catch-up of major Swiss pharma player from slow 2015)

  • Continued growth path in Q3 2016
  • Stronger Service revenues (box & container rental)

Notes: Total revenues also include "Other revenues". "Other revenues" primarily comprise state funded R&D which amounted to 373 T€ in the first nine months of 2016 (408 T€ in 2015 9M).

Total income & Gross margin

Comments

  • Total income growing roughly in line with revenues
  • Driven primarily by capitalization of container and box fleets for rental services
  • Also affected by deferred income from special reserves for grants and container sale-and-leaseback

Gross margin

Comments

  • Significantly improved gross margin at 62% in Q3 2016, vs. 58 % in full year 2015; on track for gradual improvement
  • Shift towards higher share of Services leads to
  • Initially lower gross margins due to capitalization of fleets at cost
  • Over time increasing gross margins as high-margin Service revenues grow

Key cost ratios improving

Adjusted personnel expenses

Adjusted other OPEX

Comments

  • Personnel expense ratio of 28% for 9M 2016, slightly improved vs. full year 2015 (30%)

  • Continued hiring of talent across the business in order to enable growth and innovation

Comments

  • Further economies of scale expected as we grow the business
  • Other OPEX adjusted for one-off IPO costs of €1.5m, primarily bank fees, legal and audit costs

Notes: Personnel cost and other OPEX adjusted for non-recurring items, namely one-off cost associated with the offering like accrued IPO compensation in the form of employee stock options (worth €168k) and issuance costs (€1.54m)

Strongly improved profit margins

Comments

  • Particularly strong EBITDA margin of 18% in Q3 due to shift to higher margin business
  • 9M 2016 EBITDA margin at 16% well above full year 2015 margin of 12%, mainly due to economies of scale and improved product mix
  • Total 9M 2016 adj. EBITDA of €5.0m already 39% higher than full year 2015 figure (€ 3.6m)
  • Well on track to achieve EBITDA objectives for 2016

Adjusted EBIT

Comments

  • EBIT has also improved, driven by same effects as EBITDA
  • Depreciation has increased primarily due to growth of UK-based container fleet in anticipation of strong demand for our container rental services

Notes: EBITDA and EBIT adjusted for non-recurring items, namely one-off cost associated with the offering like accrued IPO compensation in the form of employee stock options (worth €168k) and issuance costs (€1.54m)
