Interim Group Management Report General economic situation In the third quarter of the current financial year the CENTROTEC Group – hereinafter referred to as CENTROTEC – had to operate in a deteriorating macroeconomic environment. The economic recovery forecast at the start of the year for key international markets has so far failed to materialise. In addition, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has adversely affected markets in Central and Eastern Europe. On top of this, the German heating market has shown weakness since mid-way through the year, while climate control business has remained flat. Financial performance Revenue The CENTROTEC Group generated revenue of EUR 146.3 million in the third quarter of 2014. This was 0.5 % less than in the same period of the previous year. In the first nine months of the current financial year consolidated revenue came to EUR 390.5 million which, based on the substantial growth of the early months of the year, was 2.0 % above the prior-year figure of EUR 383.0 million. Germany contributed the largest share of revenue – just under 58 % – followed by the Netherlands and France, each with just under ten percent. Q03/2014 | CENTROTEC Interim Group Management Report Revenue by segment [EUR million] Climate Systems Gas Flue Systems Medical Technology & Engineering Plastics Total Q3 2014 Q3 2013 Delta % Q1-Q3 2014 Q1-Q3 2013 Delta % 109.4 110.0 (0.5) 283.8 279.2 1.6 26.7 26.4 1.1 74.8 71.9 4.1 10.2 10.7 (4.7) 32.0 31.9 0.1 146.3 147.1 (0.5) 390.5 383.0 2.0 In the Climate Systems segment the developments observed since the preceding quarter continued in the third quarter. With the exception of home ventilation with heat recovery, ventilation and climate control business remained difficult and the overall economic weakness of many countries continued to impact heating business there. The German heating market has moreover experienced falling sales since the middle of the year. The slightly increased market shares of Wolf compensated only partly for this latest development. In the biogas CHP area there was a special boom in the second quarter and early part of the third quarter because of pull-forward effects in anticipation of regulatory changes. There was a marked drop in revenue in Austria, Poland and especially Russia and Ukraine. On the other hand revenue developed positively in Italy, where the intensive sales activities by the sales partner acquired in the previous year are now paying dividends even though the market remains difficult. Furthermore, business in China delivered clear growth rates. Overall, revenue for the segment fell short of both the prior-year figure of EUR 110.0 million and our own expectations, with quarterly revenue ultimately reaching EUR 109.4 million. Over the first nine months of the current year, cumulative revenue for the segment came to EUR 283.8 million, an increase of 1.6 % on the corresponding revenue figure from the previous Business Performance | 5 year (EUR 279.2 million). The Gas Flue Systems segment increased its revenue by 1.1 % in the third quarter to EUR 26.7 million (previous year EUR 26.4 million). As in the preceding quarters, growth for the core products for air and flue gas ducting underpinned this development. Revenue growth was achieved in France and the Netherlands, both difficult markets which are nevertheless of importance for CENTROTEC. Aggregate revenue growth of 4.1 % for the year to date, bringing the total to EUR 74.8 million (previous year EUR 71.9 million), has been driven mainly by the substantial growth figures achieved in the first quarter. In the Medical Technology & Engineering Plastics segment, third-quarter revenue of EUR 10.2 million was 4.7 % down on the previous year, when a major contract for Medical Technology had temporarily boosted the total to EUR 10.7 million. Revenue of EUR 32.0 million for the year to date marginally exceeded the prior-year figure of EUR 31.9 million. Earnings At group level, the third-quarter operating result before interest and taxes (EBITDA) of EUR 20.2 million was slightly down on the prior-year figure (EUR 20.3 million). The renewed improvement in the gross profit ratio compensated for the higher personnel expenses. EBIT of EUR 14.7 million (previous year EUR 15.2 million) was diminished by the higher depreciation and amortisation expense following an increased capacity buildup over the past two years. The same trend was evident over the first nine months of the year, too. Charges were in addition incurred for the change in the group’s management. EBITDA for the first three quarters thus came to EUR 36.4 million (previous year EUR 36.7 million), and EBIT reached EUR 20.3 million (previous year EUR 22.2 million) due to the EUR 1.6 million increase in Q03/2014 | CENTROTEC Interim Group Management Report depreciation and amortisation. In the Climate Systems segment, the third quarter of 2014 brought declining sales in the German heating market, compounding the weak sales that had already previously been observed in international business; this put pressure on earnings. Nevertheless EBITDA and EBIT for the Climate Systems segment were maintained at EUR 14.5 million and EUR 11.0 million respectively thanks to a successful drive to optimise operations and a special boom in biogas combined heat and power units at the start of the quarter. Both indicators had been at similar levels (EUR 14.3 million and EUR 11.1 million respectively) in the previous year. This represents an EBIT margin of 10.1 % for the third quarter. The cumulative result for the first three quarters at EBITDA level came to EUR 24.4 million, as in the previous year. However EBIT of EUR 14.3 million was down on the previous year (EUR 15.2 million). The EBIT margin for the first nine months amounted to 5.1 %. The Gas Flue Systems segment achieved operating results of EUR 4.2 million at EBITDA level – slightly up on the previous year (EUR 4.1 million) – and EUR 2.8 million at EBIT level; this represented a slight drop compared with the previous year (EUR 2.9 million). In this segment, too, the gross profit ratio showed a significant improvement thanks to such factors as the adjusted product mix and increased insourcing activities. Opposite factors included a modest increase in the personnel expenses ratio. The EBIT margin for the quarter was 10.5 %. The EBIT margin for the year to date was 4.3 %. However the operating result of EUR 7.4 million EBITDA (previous year EUR 7.6 million) and of EUR 3.2 million EBIT (previous year EUR 4.1 million) included an extraordinary charge of EUR 1.0 million in the first quarter for the change in the company’s management. The Medical Technology & Engineering Plastics segment posted EBITDA of EUR 1.5 million (previous Business Performance | 6 year EUR 1.9 million) and EBIT of EUR 0.9 million (previous year EUR 1.3 million) for the third quarter. These reductions are attributable to a major contract which temporarily increased revenue in the previous year. The EBIT margin thus came to 8.5 % for the quarter (previous year 11.8 %), The operating result for the first nine months was unchanged from the previous year, reaching EUR 4.6 million EBITDA and EUR 2.8 million EBIT. The further improvement in net interest to EUR 1.1 million (previous year EUR 1.3 million) in the quarter and to EUR 3.1 million (previous year EUR 3.8 million) for the year to date meant that with the effective tax rate remaining broadly constant, earnings before tax (EBT) of EUR 13.8 million (previous year EUR 13.8 million), earnings after tax (EAT) of EUR 9.7 million (previous year EUR 9.6 million) and earnings per share (EPS) for the third quarter of EUR 0.54 (EUR 0.56) were maintained at approximately the same level as in the previous year. For the first nine months of the current year, EPS thus came to EUR 0.66 (previous year EUR 0.74). Net worth and financial position There were no material changes in the financial position of the CENTROTEC Group in the first nine months of the 2014 financial year. Within the consolidated companies, the only changes of note were prompted by the acquisition of the remaining 20 % shares in Wolf Italia, which had already been comprehensively consolidated since the third quarter of the previous year, and the establishment of a fully-owned US subsidiary in the Medical Technology area. In the third quarter the group’s investment outlay was reduced as planned with the completion of construction on the new headquarters of the Brink Group, and amounted to EUR 5.0 million (previous Q03/2014 | CENTROTEC Interim Group Management Report year EUR 7.2 million). Overall, the CENTROTEC Group invested EUR 19.9 million (previous year EUR 20.9 million) in the first nine months. This total included EUR 13.8 million (previous year EUR 11.1 million) for the Climate Systems segment, with the new building of the Brink Group accounting for over half of this sum. In the Gas Flue Systems segment, the investment volume for the first three quarters of EUR 3.5 million (previous year EUR 6.7 million) was lower than in the previous year, as was the case in the Medical Technology & Engineering Plastics segment, in which EUR 2.6 million (previous year EUR 3.1 million) was invested. The seasonal rise in working capital of EUR 15.4 million or 3.5 % to EUR 70.3 million (end of previous year EUR 54.9 million) increased the group’s balance sheet total compared with the start of the year to EUR 454.1 million (end of previous year EUR 438.7 million). Measured against the same period of the previous year, the balance sheet total remained almost unchanged but the significant increase in property plant and equipment reflects the temporarily higher investment volume of the past two years. Property plant and equipment represented 25.0 % of the balance sheet total at the end of the quarter (previous year 22.1 %). The ploughing-back of profits pushed the equity ratio up from 41.2 % at September 30, 2013 to 45.0 %. Business Performance | 7 Key financial figures [EUR million] 30/09/2014 31/12/2013 30/09/2013 Balance sheet total 454.1 438.7 454.4 Shareholders’ equity 204.2 200.4 187.0 Equity ratio (percent) 45.0% 45.7% 41.2% Net borrowings 35.8 21.9 36.8 Net working capital* 70.3 54.9 68.8 *Current assets – cash and cash equivalents – current, non-interest bearing borrowings The group’s borrowings of EUR 93.2 million at the end of the quarter were slightly below the figure at the end of 2013 (EUR 95.1 million), but were EUR 10.2 million below the level for the third quarter of 2013. However the increased investment volume since the end of 2013 and the higher dividend meant net borrowings were merely EUR 1.0 million lower than in the third quarter of 2013. The cash flow from operating activities in the first nine months of the current year came to EUR 9.2 million (previous year EUR 13.6 million). The slightly reduced earnings, the slightly higher working capital and the increased amount in taxes paid are the main factors behind the decrease. The cash flow from investing activities of EUR -19.3 million was below the prior-year figure of EUR -17.9 million in particular due to the increased investment volume in the first half. Over the full year the relative position is likely to be reversed in view of the current scaling-back of the investment volume as planned, combined with the rising prior-year basis. Q03/2014 | CENTROTEC Interim Group Management Report The cash flow from financing activities at September 30, 2014 was EUR -6.3 million, and therefore well below the prior-year figure of EUR +8.0 million, despite the increased dividend payment. This is attributable to the further reduction in borrowings. Employees At September 30, 2014 the comprehensively consolidated companies of the CENTROTEC Group employed a total of 3,247 people (previous year 3,230). Expressed as full-time equivalents (FTE), the figure was 3,124 (previous year 3,108). The total included 165 temporary workers (previous year 152) at the end of the period under review. The number of full-time equivalents in the group was thus 0.5 % higher than at the end of the third quarter of 2013. In the Climate Systems segment, the number of employees remained broadly constant. The figure for the Gas Flue Systems segment rose by approx. 3 % in particular as a result of the insourcing measures. On the other hand the total in the Medical Technology & Engineering Plastics segment fell by approx. 4 %. The personnel expenses of the Group rose by 2.0 % to EUR 39.0 million in the third quarter of 2014 (previous year EUR 38.3 million). In the first nine months of the 2014 financial year personnel expenses amounted to EUR 118.3 million. That is an increase of 4.4 % on the figure for the prior-year period (EUR 113.3 million). On top of capacity-building activities focusing on the Research & Development and Sales areas, collectively negotiated pay increases taking effect in-year and the non-recurring charge from the change in the group’s management lay behind this rise. The personnel expenses ratio consequently increased to 30.2 % (previous year 29.3 %). Business Performance | 8 Shares The first three quarters of 2014 saw the trading price of CENTROTEC shares (WKN 540 750 or ISIN DE0005407506) move between EUR 15.08 and 20.20. The highs of around EUR 20 were reached at the start of the year and in mid-May. Until the start of July there was little volatility in the trading price, which in essence remained within the corridor of EUR 18 to 20. From that point on, the shares then lost their value faster than the market as a whole, closing the third quarter on EUR 15.24. The preceding quarter had closed on EUR 18.18 and the shares had ended 2013 trading at EUR 18.60. Measured against the SDAX, in which CENTROTEC shares are listed, this was a deterioration in the trading price of almost 20 percent in the first half of the year. After the reporting date there was a further drop in the share price to Q03/2014 | CENTROTEC Interim Group Management Report around EUR 13. CENTROTEC share price performance (Xetra) compared with SDAX from Jan to November 2014; Source: www.ariva.de At September 30, 2014, 17,646,525 no-par value ordinary shares of CENTROTEC Sustainable AG were approved for trading at Deutsche Börse, of which 12,080 were held by the company. The total number of shares multiplied by the end-of-quarter trading price of EUR 15.24 at September 30, 2014 produced market capitalisation of EUR 269 million for the CENTROTEC Group. CENTROTEC is not aware of any major developments affecting its share ownership structure compared with the end of the 2013 financial year. The family of Supervisory Board Chairman Guido A Krass has remained the principal shareholder of CENTROTEC Sustainable AG since the IPO. That group aside, there are no indications that other shareholders hold a percentage interest in CENTROTEC running into Business Performance | 9 double figures. Nevertheless, changes across the thresholds that trigger reporting requirements in accordance with Section 26 (1) of the German Securities Trading Act (WpHG) have been reported by institutional investors in the year to date. Detailed information on such changes is regularly updated and is available on the homepage of CENTROTEC Sustainable AG at (http://www.centrotec.de/investorrelations/aktie/veroeffentl-26-abs-1-wphg.html). Opportunities and risks The opportunities and risks presented in the 2013 Annual Report remain valid. Nor have the assessments, the methods of risk identification and the measures derived from them for the controlling of risks changed materially compared with the view presented in the 2013 Group Management Report. The situation in Ukraine has escalated further in recent months. The resulting impact on economic development throughout Europe, but especially in Eastern Europe, is already being felt in a number of markets, including away from the two countries directly involved. However the further consequences are still very difficult to assess. CENTROTEC is monitoring developments very closely and adopting due caution in its approach to the markets in the countries and regions affected. In the first nine months of 2014, as in the previous year, CENTROTEC’s revenue share from Russia and Ukraine was less than 2 %. The details of the amendment to the German Renewable Energies Act that passed into law on August 1, 2014 are having an adverse effect on the sales opportunities particularly for new biogas plants in Germany. Since the start of this year, we increasingly took action to profit from pull-forward effects. In addition, we have sought to cushion these negative effects on the subsidiary in question by stepping up Q03/2014 | CENTROTEC Interim Group Management Report international activities in the area of combined heat and power units for biogas plants and refocusing on combined heat and power units that run on natural gas. Forecast As a specialist for heating and climate control technology, CENTROTEC profits from the sustained trend towards improving the efficiency of buildings. However the absence of the generally forecast recovery of international European markets and the recent weakness exhibited by the German heating market are undermining this trend from an economic perspective, with the result that the full-year forecast cannot be achieved in entirety. Against this backdrop, and taking account of the record result posted in the fourth quarter of the previous year, CENTROTEC will be unable to improve on its prior-year EBIT. For the full year, CENTROTEC now anticipates that EBIT will lie between EUR 32 and 34 million (previously EUR 34 to 38 million). Revenue is expected to be at the lower end of the range previously forecast (EUR 525 to 550 million).
