Supply chains and sales markets considerably affected by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic – 70.5 % decrease in revenue to € 9.5 million (prior year: € 32.1 million)
Old inventory of modules with older cell generation has been completely sold off – the focus is now on the technological development of the product portfolio
EBITDA decreases to € -10.7 million (prior year: € 0.4 million) – EBITDA margin at -112.7 % (prior year: 1.3 %)
Positive free cash flow generated in the first half of the year – operating cash flow at € 9.3 million (prior year: € -15.1 million)
Forecast for 2020 remains unchanged: Group revenue of € 25 to 45 million with an adjusted EBITDA margin of -6 % at most – slightly negative free cash flow expected
Over the course of the second quarter, we were able to recover successively from the sharp decline in the production figures that resulted from Germany's nationwide lockdown. Our business activities were marked by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly by blocked supply chains and a considerable restriction of our operational processes during the first two months of the second quarter, and our customers were significantly affected as well. They, too, faced disruptions such as months of reduced working hours, production standstills and investment freezes. As announced most recently in the interim report for the first quarter, signs of a return to normality – hopefully permanent – are beginning to appear for us and our internal processes as well as more and more for our customers.
In line with these signs of normality, the second quarter showed minor improvement in comparison with the first three months of the fiscal year, however, our figures still remain low due to the impact of the pandemic. With revenue of € 9.3 million, negative earnings are the almost logical consequence – a situation that is also the result of the events of the first quarter. The EBITDA thus stands at € -10.7 million, which corresponds to an margin of -112.7 %. As a result of the low level of capacity utilization in the first half of the year, revenue was unable to cover the cost structure and only limited volume advantages could be achieved on the purchasing side.
We have recently clearly reiterated our mission: Our aim is to establish Voltabox as a leader in innovation that sets standards for the lithium-ion industry. In line with this, we assembled an interdisciplinary innovation team in the first half of the year that generated crucial insights for our product range on the basis of a comprehensive analysis of market trends and customer needs. We subsequently launched the development of a pioneering new module concept, which has already made excellent progress. Initial market testing has produced
extremely promising results. With this innovative technology, we have the opportunity to begin a new chapter for the Voltabox product landscape.
This approach aligns perfectly with our strategy for the new Voltabox. Triggered by the substantial changes in business prospects in 2019 and subsequently by the announced change to the ownership structure, we have developed a comprehensive catalog of measures that we are implementing systematically and according to schedule. These will give Voltabox a new face in the future. We are well on our way to combining all of these adjustments to our strategic orientation into a consistent image behind the scenes, based on the modified growth dynamics in the years to come and in connection with our explicit objective of substantially increasing planability and reliability.
Of course, much also depends on the form that the upcoming changes to the shareholder structure of Voltabox AG ultimately take. We have comprehensively presented and discussed our strategic approach for the new Voltabox in talks with interested investors in the context of the current sale process. The course we have charted has been met with great approval, so we are highly confident that we will be able to launch a new era for the company together with our future majority owner.
We expect demand in the markets we supply to pick up significantly in the second half of the year. As such, we still consider our forecast for annual revenue of between € 25 and 45 million to be realistic. As mentioned in the annual report, we are relying on the financing of current assets in this regard. In addition to the anticipated finalization of the ongoing sale process, we are intensively reviewing the available options for strengthening our financial position in order to take advantage of our revenue opportunities even before the end of fiscal year 2020. As a result, we continue to expect the EBITDA margin to amount to -6 % at best, while free cash flow is expected to be slightly negative. The major drivers of our revenue development in 2020 will be new and existing customers in the area of intralogistics, our first projects in the retrofitting of conventional diesel buses, and the market segments of agriculture, construction and mobile energy storage solutions.
At this point, we would like to thank all Voltabox employees for contributing to the continued development of all areas of the company with their commitment and creativity. We would also like to thank our business partners, customers and shareholders for their constructive collaboration and productive discussions.

The German stock market continued seamlessly onward from its dynamic year-end spurt in 2019 and built up gradually to a new all-time high in January of this year. This development was fueled by various economic and trade policy signals. At the same time, the news surrounding the spread of the novel coronavirus built up a powerful counterweight that increasingly depressed the mood of market participants in the course of the first quarter. According to the Deutsche Börse Sentiment Index, the bearish camp of institutional investors increased by 20 percentage points in the first half of February, reaching 39 %. As the spread of the disease reached pandemic proportions, German and U.S. stock markets ultimately responded with dramatic fluctuations. Governments and central banks were compelled to react to the strongly pessimistic mood by announcing extensive countermeasures, which led to a significant recovery in share prices.
In mid-April, however, the sentiment index ultimately fell to -40 points, its lowest level since it was first collected in 2002. The behavior of market participants was determined primarily by the negative outlook for the
global economy. This sentiment was supported by Bank of America's "Bull & Bear" Index, which showed a value of 0.0 on a scale of 0 to 10 – in short: extreme pessimism. In the meantime, however, the U.S. Federal Reserve bank had announced its new bond purchase program in the amount of an additional USD 2.3 trillion, thus providing an economic stimulus. The gradual relaxation of restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic subsequently served to reassure the markets, and the DAX rallied towards recovery in April and May. The fragility of this trend was shown by the dramatic counter-reaction in mid-June following concerns of a repeated flare-up of the COVID-19 pandemic against the backdrop of increasing infection rates, which led to a temporary 10 % drop in the index.
Although the sentiment index for both private and institutional investors stood in negative terrain at the end of June, the ostensibly pessimistic mood was moderated when assessed in regard to three- and six-month time horizons. This was particularly the case for institutional investors, whose sentiment index actually registered significantly higher than the three-month average. The second quarter thus ended as the market's best since 2003, with gains of nearly 30 %. Accordingly, more
than three quarters of the losses suffered by the DAX in the first quarter of this year were offset. On the whole, Germany's most important stock indices recorded negative performance in the first half of the year (DAX -7.1 %, SDAX -7.8 %, TecDAX -2.0 %). The DAXSector Technology, which comprises the technology stocks, closed the first half of the year with a slight gain of 0.9 %.
During the same period, the Voltabox share substantially underperformed the market with a decline in value of -34.2 %. Starting from an initial price of € 5.76, the share quickly rose in the first three weeks of the year and reached its high of € 8.80 on January 21. The share continued to hover at this level until mid-February. Starting at the end of February, the markets were seized by the threat scenarios of the coronavirus's impact on the global economy. Analogous to this, the Voltabox share was caught in a downward spiral and hit its lowest value of € 3.08 on March 19. In line with the performance of the market, the Voltabox share gradually recovered from April until the beginning of June and nearly reached the € 6.00 mark before coming under pressure again in the second half of the month. The closing price for the first half of the year on June 30, 2020, was € 3.79. The stock market value as of this reporting date totaled approximately € 60.0 million. The decrease in the stock market value of the Voltabox
share in the first six months thus amounted to roughly € -31.2 million.
As of the balance sheet date, the German Federal Gazette had been notified of a net short position held by Ennismore Fund Management Limited for the Voltabox share in the amount of 1.89 % of the company's share capital.
Standard series production was a key factor in the company's development during the first six months of fiscal year 2020. Hedging of orders for the delivery of old modules led to a provision for impending losses in the first quarter. Revenue recognition was substantially limited by the global spread of the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 and the associated impact on the supply chains and business operations of Voltabox customers. The Voltabox Group subsequently halted its production activities for a period of 10 weeks starting from mid-March and introduced reduced working hours for broad sections of the company. The U.S. subsidiary in Texas also faced substantial limitations due to the impact of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Its revenue for the first six months of the year was generated through standard series production.

In the first half of the year, the Voltabox Group generated Group revenue of € 9.5 million (prior year: € 32.1 million), which constitutes a decrease of 70.5 % in comparison with the same period of the previous year. Other operating income increased to € 0.9 million (prior year: € 0.4 million) due to foreign currency effects, while finished goods and work in progress decreased by € 1.8 million (prior year: € 1.4 million increase). Capitalized development costs underwent an unplanned decrease to € 1.9 million (prior year: € 4.1 million) as a result of the multiple weeks of restricted business activities starting from the second half of March. Accordingly, this results in an overall performance decrease of 73.8 % to € 10.5 million (prior year: € 38.0 million) in the first six months of the fiscal year.
In view of this, the cost of materials decreased by 74.8 % to € 5.7 million (prior year: € 22.5 million). The material input ratio (calculated from the ratio of cost of materials to revenue and inventory changes) increased to 73.7 % (prior year: 67.3 %) due to the use of alternativelysourced small series parts. Against this backdrop, the gross profit for the reporting period amounted to € 4.8 million (prior year: € 15.4 million), which corresponds to a gross profit margin of 62.9 % (prior year: 48.0 %). Personnel expenses decreased by 34.6 % to € 5.9 million (prior year: € 9.0 million) mainly due to the cost reduction measures implemented in 2019. As a result of decreased revenue, the personnel expense ratio increased to 76.6 % (prior year: 28.0 %).
Accordingly, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) decreased to € -10.7 million (prior year: € 0.4 million), which corresponds to an EBITDA margin of -112.7 % (prior year: 1.3 %). After depreciation and amortization of € 2.8 million (prior year: € 3.8 million) and increased impairment of € 8.5 million (prior year: € 0.3 million), earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) decreased to € -21.9 million (prior year: € -3.6 million). Taking into account the decline in revenue and the increased cost of materials, the EBIT margin fell to -231.4 % (prior year: -11.3 %). With a virtually unchanged financial result of € -0.4 million (prior year: € -0.4 million) and negative income taxes of € -0.7 million (prior year: positive income taxes of € 1.3 million), the Voltabox Group generated consolidated net income of € -23.0 million in the period under review (prior year: € -2.7 million). This corresponds to earnings per share of € -1.45 (prior year: € -0.17).
The balance sheet total decreased by 13.2 % to € 78.0 million as of June 30, 2020 (December 31, 2019: € 89.9 million), mainly due to a decrease in current assets caused primarily by the reduction of receivables. Noncurrent assets increased by 17.8 % to € 36.8 million (December 31, 2019: € 31.3 million). Property, plant and equipment increased by € 4.8 million to € 21.7 million (December 31, 2019: € 17.0 million) as the result of a land purchase. Intangible assets increased slightly to € 11.5 million (December 31, 2019: € 10.7 million).
Current assets decreased by 29.8 % to € 41.2 million (December 31, 2019: € 58.7 million). Trade receivables were substantially reduced by € 9.9 million to € 21.2 million (December 31, 2019: € 31.1 million). In addition, receivables due from related companies were reduced by € 3.6 million to € 1.7 million (December 31, 2019: € 5.3 million). Cash and cash equivalents increased by € 0.4 million to roughly € 5.5 million (December 31, 2019: € 5.0 million). The liquidity of the company was secured as of the reporting date and at all times beyond that point.

| Investments | 12,125 | 1,517 | 13,642 |
Noncurrent provisions and liabilities increased slightly to € 15.7 million (December 31, 2019: € 15.4 million). Current provisions and liabilities increased by 48.4 % to € 31.9 million (December 31, 2019: € 21.5 million). This is primarily the result of the formation of other provisions, mainly due to an impending loss provision, by an additional € 4.4 million to a current total of € 6.2 million (December 31, 2019: € 3.8 million), as well as to the increase of trade payables to € 19.1 million (December 31, 2019: € 12.4 million).
Voltabox AG's equity amounts to € 30.5 million as of the reporting date (December 31, 2019: € 53.1 million). The equity ratio decreased as of June 30, 2020, to 39.0 % (December 31, 2019: 58.7 %) due to an offsetting effect through a substantial reduction in profit carried forward and an improvement of the consolidated net income in relation to the comparable balance sheet date.
Cash flow from operating activities in decreased in the period under review to € 9.3 million (prior year: € -15.1 million). This is mainly due to the significant increase in other provisions and provisions for pensions of € 2.2 million, the significant decline in trade receivables of € 14.0 million, the decrease in inventories of € 3.1 million as well as the increase in trade payables of € 6.8 million.
Cash flow from investment activity in the period under review amounted to € -8.7 million (prior year: € -8.9 million). This resulted from payments for investments in property, plant and equipment of € 6.9 million (prior year: € 6.2 million) and payments for investments in intangible assets amounting to € 1.9 million (prior year: € 2.8 million).
Cash payments for finance lease liabilities amounted to € 1.6 million and mainly represent the cash flow from financing activities as well as the counteractive increase in lease liabilities of € 1.5 million.
Cash and cash equivalents totaled € 5.5 million as of the end of the reporting period (June 30, 2019: € 4.2 million).
The Management Board regularly uses key figures to measure the economic success of the operative implementation of its corporate strategy. The control system takes into account the type and/or amount of one-time or extraordinary effects on the performance indicators. Due to these specific influences, the internal targets are generally set as bandwidths for measuring and managing operative performance, depending on the respective planning horizon. The relative development of the key figures of Group sales, EBIT margin and investments is observed using medium-term planning that accounts for experience curve effects within a given corridor. Given the dynamic growth strategy, this facilitates forwardlooking management in terms of both risk- and opportunity-oriented corporate governance.
In the first half year of 2020, there were no significant changes in the opportunities and risks described in detail under "Opportunity and Risk Report" in the 2019 Annual Report, in which the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic are already fully taken into account. The 2019 Annual Report can be accessed online at ww.voltabox.ag in the Investor Relations section.
Forecast
The forecast for the current fiscal year and the underlying assumptions are explained in detail in the combined management report for the 2019 fiscal year. As stated there, the Management Board expected a decline in revenue to between € 25 and 45 million due to the coronavirus pandemic. The Group EBITDA margin will reach -6 % at most. The Management Board expects free cash flow to be slightly negative.
The revenue forecast is depicted as a broad range for now due to persistent uncertainty in regard to the economic situation in Europe and North America. Voltabox currently has a production backlog and a significant amount of short-term customer orders, but it is unable to handle these quickly enough due to long delivery times on the part of individual suppliers. The management is currently working on a prompt delivery. However, it is currently not possible to foresee when these opportunities will be implemented.
The revenue forecast will be gradually substantiated as things develop with an expected increase in visibility.
