EARNINGS POSITION
In the third quarter of 2020, the Bechtle Group again recorded high growth despite the ongoing COVID- 19 pandemic and the great uncertainty it has caused.

Year on year, the revenue went up 7.4 per cent to €1,370.9 million. The organic revenue growth amounted to 6.3 per cent.

19.6 per cent. In the IT E-Commerce segment, the increase amounted to 3.1 per cent. This represents a major improvement over the prior quarter, in which the segment had suffered a decline of 6.6 per cent. In this segment, Germany was the growth driver, with an increase of 23.0 per cent.

Gross earnings increased 8.3 per cent, and the gross margin went up slightly from 14.9 per cent to 15.0 per cent. While personnel expenses and depreciation and amortisation - which are included in the cost of sales - underwent a disproportionately high increase, the other operating expenses dropped by 19.3 per cent. This was due to savings made as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, especially with regard to travel expenses. At 7.0 per cent, material costs rose slightly less than proportionately, thus also contributing to the positive development of the gross margin.
Costs in the functional areas sales and administration both underwent a below-average increase.
Administrative expenses increased 2.1 per cent, and the corresponding ratio dropped slightly from
- per cent to 4.7 per cent. Due to the savings as mentioned above, distribution costs even fell by
- per cent, and the expense ratio went down from 5.9 per cent to 5.4 per cent. Other operating income climbed 4.6 per cent to €6.2 million.
Year on year, EBITDA grew 22.4 per cent, and the EBITDA margin went up from 6.2 per cent to 7.1 per cent.
Depreciation and amortisation increased by 13.4 per cent to €24.2 million. As previously, depreciation of property, plant and equipment accounted for the largest share of the depreciation and amortisa- tion, rising from €17.9 million to €20.1 million.
EBIT gained 25.7 per cent to €73.3 million. The margin was 5.4 per cent, compared to 4.6 per cent in the prior year.
The EBT performance was similar, increasing 25.7 per cent to €71.7 million. As a result, the EBT margin improved from 4.5 per cent to 5.2 per cent.

The tax rate declined slightly from 29.5 per cent to 29.2 per cent. Earnings after taxes went up 26.2 per cent to €50.8 million. EPS amounted to €1.21 (prior year: €0.96).
In the segments, the earnings situation was as follows: In the IT System House & Managed Services segment, EBIT increased 24.9 per cent to €50.0 million. On the one hand, there was an increased share of higher-margin services. On the other hand, corona-related cost savings led to a decline in other operating expenses. The EBIT margin went up from 4.8 per cent to 5.5 per cent.
EBIT in the IT E-Commerce segment climbed 27.3 per cent to €23.3 million. Firstly, this item was affected by savings in distribution costs. Secondly, the product mix in the third quarter had a positive effect on the margin. Year on year, the EBIT margin thus underwent a significant increase from 4.2 per cent to 5.1 per cent.

ASSETS AND FINANCIAL POSITION
The balance sheet total of the Bechtle Group as of 30 September 2020 stood at €2,504.2 million, 4.6 per cent more than as of 31 December 2019.
On the non-current assets side, goodwill and property, plant and equipment went up by €45.5 million and €26.9 million, respectively, due especially to acquisitions. The increase of €19.2 million in trade receivables reflects the higher number of large projects. The capitalisation ratio climbed from 35.3 per cent to 37.5 per cent.
Under the current assets, inventories increased by €71.3 million due to stock reserved for large projects and other reasons. However, compared to the level as of 30 June 2020, the inventories went down. As of 30 September 2020, trade receivables underwent a significant decline of €147.7 million. In the first nine months of 2020, our average DSO (days sales outstanding) dropped from 42.2 days to
41.2 days year on year. Especially in view of the tense macroeconomic situation, this notable achieve- ment underlines the effectiveness of our receivables management. Owing to a higher number of maintenance agreements and other factors, other assets increased by €35.0 million. As of 30 Sep- tember 2020, cash and cash equivalents went up to €290.9 million. The total liquidity of the Bechtle Group thus amounts to a comfortable €330.9 million.

The working capital dropped from €647.7 million to €616.1 million as of 30 September 2020. Even though inventories were further built up, this was more than compensated for by a substantial reduction of trade receivables and a lower reduction of the trade payables. In relation to the revenue, the working capital declined from 18.8 per cent as of 30 September 2019 to 15.3 per cent as of the reporting date.
On the equity and liabilities side, non-current liabilities experienced the greatest change. Due to a loan raised to finance acquisitions, financial liabilities went up €49.9 million.
Under the current liabilities, especially the trade payables dropped by €49.2 million in relation to the reporting date. Owing to factors such as the lower liabilities to personnel and VAT tax liabilities, other liabilities declined by €24.4 million.

The equity increased by €80.3 million. Our equity ratio went up from 42.4 per cent as of 31 December 2019 to 43.7 per cent as of the reporting date. The extrapolated return on equity remained at the high prior-year level of 17.6 per cent.

In the period from January to September 2020, the cash flow from operating activities totalled €172.1 million (prior year: €38.7 million). This was due especially to the significant reduction of trade receivables, a lower build-up of inventories and a lower reduction of trade payables.

The cash flow from investing activities amounted to −€125.1 million (prior year: −€60.0 million). This was caused especially by the higher outflow for acquisitions as well as the outflow for the purchase of time deposits and securities. The cash flow from financing activities was at −€27.1 million compared to −€71.7 million in the prior year due to the assumption of new financial activities.
In the period from January to September, the free cash flow reached an excellent figure of €87.2 million (prior year: −€27.0 million).
EMPLOYEES
As of the reporting date 30 September 2020, the Bechtle Group had a total of 12,055 employees, 809 persons or 7.2 per cent more than on 30 September 2019. Compared to 31 December 2019, the headcount went up by 568. The increase of 4.9 per cent was the result of new recruitment as well as acquisitions.

As of 30 September 2020, Bechtle had 699 young trainees and students on integrated degree pro- grammes, 15 fewer than in the prior year. At the start of the new training year on 1 September 2020, a total of 216 young people embarked on their career with Bechtle.
FORECAST
The 2020 fiscal year is overshadowed by the numerous effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Since March - and now again to an increased extent - the macroeconomic framework conditions and their development are subject to great uncertainty. So far, Bechtle has done extremely well despite these difficulties. In the first nine months, the revenue went up 6.9 per cent, and EBT even increased 14.6 per cent. In view of this positive development, we are confident that we will reach our goals for 2020 despite the high uncertainty and the risks that still exist in the supply chain. However, this greatly depends on the further course of the pandemic in the fourth quarter. Due to the seasonality that the business of Bechtle AG is typically subject to, the months of November and December are critical to the success of a fiscal year. Provided that the restrictions due to the coronavirus pandemic are not drastically intensified throughout Europe in the coming weeks, and especially the business landscape does not suffer another total lockdown, we concretise and raise our forecast of March 2020. As previ- ously, we are aiming for significant revenue growth of 5 to 10 per cent. However, against the backdrop of the positive earnings and margin performance in the year to date, we are increasing our forecast with regard to these indicators. We now expect very significant EBT growth (previously: significant). Our original projection in respect of the EBT margin performance was that we intend to keep it at least at the prior-year level. We now expect the EBT margin for 2020 to be above that of the prior year. Apart from this, the forecast as presented on pages 111 to 118 of the Annual Report 2019 has not seen any changes and has not been further concretised.
