Main conclusions

The H1 2018/19 report of the fiscal year was reviewed and approved at the Board of Directors meeting today. The Board of Directors announces the following consolidated financial statements year to date (YTD) for H1 (the first 6 months) of 2018/19.

The Board of Directors noted that the financial results in H1 of 2018/19 are in line with latest estimate communicated in company announcement no. 427 on August 30^th, 2018:

- Revenue was 106,7 million DKK (2017/18: 130,9 million DKK).

- EBITDA was 5,3 million DKK before non-recurring items and fair value adjustment on investment properties (2017/18: 11,8 million DKK before non-recurring items and fair value adjustment on investment properties).

Non-recurring items YTD 2018/19 are 2,9 million DKK of which 2,7 million DKK is related to the production start-up of the flexo manufacturing in Nyborg (2017/18: 0,3 million DKK). Fair value adjustment on investment properties are 0,0 million DKK (2017/18: 4,1 million DKK)

As informed in announcement no. 427 the revenue in the Offset equipment business is at a lower level than expected and this will impact the revenue and EBITDA for the full year 2018/19 with 8 million DKK and the EBITDA in H1 2018/19 has furthermore been negatively impacted by unforeseen challenges in the start-up and initial consolidation process of the Flexo equipment operation in Nyborg, Denmark.

The guidance for the Group revenue remains for the full year 2018/19 at the 240 million DKK level and the EBITDA before non-recurring items, interest, tax, amortization and depreciation - and adjustment of fair value on properties - is unchanged at the 24 million DKK level. Other additional cost related to Change4Success of approximately 6 million DKK is expected classified as non-recurring items for the full year and in line with announcement no. 427.
