Financial results
During the first semester of 2020 Campine achieved a revenue of 82,7 mio € (2019: 102,9 mio €).
Profit after taxes amounted to 103 K€ (2019: 2,33 mio €). The reduction in sales and profit is entirely related to the impact of the Corona pandemic. Volumes as well as metal prices were on average substantially lower compared to the same period in 2019.
Strict cost control and some ambitious initiatives helped Campine to navigate quite well through this crisis. "The company saved 1,5 mio € in expenses in the first semester and seized several opportunities to limit the volume loss." explains CEO De Vos "We also managed to advance our yearly maintenance shutdown and carry it out with more own personnel. With strict cash management and a better spread of our investments, we managed to retain our strong 2019 year- end balance sheet" he concludes. With a solvency ratio of 54%, Campine does not expect financing problems in the near future.
To minimise the Covid-19 contagion risks for its employees, Campine implemented a large number of measures. Campine used several government measures, such as temporary unemployment, to counterbalance the lower market demands. The different manufacturing units were alternately closed to keep the efficiency as high as possible. Several expenses were avoided or delayed whenever possible. All planned investments will be carried out, but some will be rescheduled in time. Some investment projects were delayed because some subcontractors were unable to continue their work seen the Covid pandemic.
Performances per division
Division Specialty Chemicals
Market and Operations
- The first effects of the Covid pandemic were experienced early February when antimony metal prices started to rise due to fears of shortages on the world market. The centre of the antimony production is found in China's Hunan province, which is adjacent to Wuhan (Hubei province) where the pandemic originated. Fear for shortages helped the antimonytrioxide demand to remain at normal levels during the first quarter. Only early May the impact became clear in our Specialty Chemicals division, with customers in some market segments reducing their demand by 30 to 40%. This decrease in demand ultimately lead to a fast price decline of antimony raw materials.
- Sales revenue decreased to 34,2 mio € (-22% versus 2019) as a result of lower volumes (-10% compared to 2019) and lower sales prices of our antimony products.
- Thanks to cost savings and better operational efficiency, a positive operational result of 1.077 K€ was reached (compared to a break-even results of 10 K€ in 2019).
More detailed information can be found in note 3 Operational segments.
Division Metals Recycling
Market and Operations
- We experienced the impact of the Corona crisis immediately from early March onwards in our lead unit, where more than 80% of our products are being used for batteries, with the automotive sector as largest segment. The shutdown of many assembly lines throughout Europe caused the demand for lead to drop dramatically. Volume reductions at some industrial customers of 50 to 60% were no exception. Despite this we were able to keep sales volumes on decent levels thanks to seizing new opportunities at new customers and with different metal traders. By the end of April the supply chain of our main raw material - scrap batteries - dried up completely; due to forced closures of car workshops and scrap dealers, scrap batteries no longer reached our suppliers. We therefore decided to bring forward our yearly maintenance shutdown from July to May.
- The Metals Recovery activities, in which we recycle other metals, was not impacted by the Covid pandemic.
- Sales revenue decreased to 54,2 mio € (-19% tov 2019) as a result of lower volumes (-12% compared to 2019) and lower LME lead prices, which are the basis of our lead products sales prices. The average LME lead prices during the first half of 2020 were substantially lower than in the first semester of last year: 1.597 €/ton versus 1.735 €/ton in 2019.
- The operational result was a loss of -970 K € in comparison with a profit in 2019 of 3.168 mio €. Beside lower volumes and lower sales prices, we additionally had the shift of the full maintenance shutdown expenses into our first year half in 2020.
More detailed information can be found in note 3 Operational segments.
Outlook 2020
Making a prognosis for the full year 2020 remains very difficult considering the volatile and uncertain market conditions. If however raw material prices retain their rise, we expect to close the year with profit.
Demand for our Specialty Chemicals products is restoring very slowly. We expect to reach pre- Covid levels only by the last quarter of 2020. Antimony metal prices are on the rise since early August, mainly related to some shortages on the antimony ore markets.
In our Metals Recycling division we reached normal demand levels since July. This is potentially related to temporary shutdowns at some of our regional competitors. LME lead prices increased substantially during the summer months from a level below 1.500 €/ton mid-Mayto above 1.650 €/ton and fluctuates around a level of 1.600 €/t in the meantime.

The 'carry-off of waste' cost is reduced by the recovery of waste streams and often only a toll conversion fee is charged.
Some of these waste streams are now also sold externally. Consequently the carry-off cost increases while on the other hand these external sales generate additional income.

The aggregate financial instruments of the Group correspond with levels 1 and 2 in the fair values hierarchy. Fair value valuation is carried out regularly.
- Level 1: unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical assets or liabilities.
- Level 2: the fair value based on other information, which can, directly or indirectly, be determined for the relevant assets or liabilities.
The valuation techniques regarding the fair value of the level 2 financial instruments are the following:
-
The fair value of the other level 2 financial assets and liabilities is almost equal to their book value:
O either because they have a short-term maturity (like trade receivables and debts), O or because they have a variable interest rate. - For fixed-income payables, the fair value was determined using interest rates that apply to active markets.

Report on the review of the consolidated interim financial information of Campine NV for the six-month period ended 30 June 2020 (the original text of
this report is in Dutch)
In the context of our appointment as the company's statutory auditor, we report to you on the consolidated interim financial information. This consolidated interim financial information comprises the condensed consolidated balance sheet as at 30 June 2020, the condensed consolidated income statement, the condensed consolidated overview of the total result for the period, the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and the condensed consolidated cash-flow statement for the period of six months then ended, as well as selective notes 1 to 20.
Report on the consolidated interim financial information
We have reviewed the consolidated interim financial information of Campine NV ("the company") and its subsidiaries (jointly "the group"), prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the European Union.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet shows total assets of 60,637 (000) EUR and the condensed consolidated income statement shows a consolidated profit (group share) for the period then ended of 103 (000) EUR.
The board of directors of the company is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the European Union. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this consolidated interim financial information based on our review.
Scope of review
We conducted our review of the consolidated interim financial information in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (ISRE) 2410, "Review of interim financial information performed by the independent auditor of the entity". A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit performed in accordance with the International Standards on Auditing (ISA) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the consolidated interim financial information.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the consolidated interim financial information of Campine NV has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the European Union.
