Press Release

Strong revenue growth with profitability affected by production constraints.

Performance H01 2022

• Revenue increased from 124.3 million euro in H01 2021 to 171.2 million euro in H01 2022, an increase of 37.8%, thanks to a higher order backlog at the end of 2021 and continuous strong order intake during the first semester of 2022.
• Operating profit (EBIT) for the first 6 months of 2022 amounts to 12.2 million euro compared to 10.2 million euro in H01 2021, an increase of 19.9%, which is the result of:
• • The positive impact of higher revenues as well as lower organizational costs due to the measures taken by the Group last year to structurally decrease the cost base.
  • The negative impact of production constraints resulting from critical component shortages, higher material prices, lower manufacturing output and pressure on labor productivity.
• Cash flow from operations (EBITDA) for the first 6 months of 2022 amounts to 12.8 million euro, a 9.0% decrease compared to last year.
• Total net finance cost amounts to 1.3 million euro and relates to interest charges (0.8 million euro), net currency charges (0.2 million euro) and other financial charges (0.3 million euro).
• Net income attributable to the shareholders amounts to 8.9 million euro (Earnings per Share of 1.2 euro) compared to 6.9 million euro last year (Earnings per Share of 0.9 euro).
• The Group reports a net financial cash of 21.1 million euro (including 3.7 million euro leasing debt) compared to 41.0 million euro at year-end 2021. The decrease in net cash is mainly caused by higher working capital, negatively affected by the industry- wide increase in material prices as well as higher work-in-progress due to components scarcity.
• The Group received 188 million euro of orders in H01 2022, a 34.1% increase compared to H01 2021.

Outlook and Risk factors

The JENSEN-GROUP received 188 million euro of orders in H01 2022, a 34.1% increase compared to H01 2021.

The Group expects manufacturing productivity, production output, and delivery schedules to continue to be negatively impacted in H02 2022 due to higher labor costs, increased raw material and component prices, as well as scarcity of components and supply chain inefficiencies. Management considers these challenges to be temporary although they could last into 2023.

Other risk factors to be considered include the impact of geo-political and military threats, potentially recurring lockdowns (e.g. China) and possible travel restrictions across the world due to Covid-19, a slow-down in demand due to an economic recession in our key markets, the access to financing for our customers, the fluctuating raw material, energy and transportation prices, the exchange rate volatility, the uncertain overall political climate and the competitive pressures.

Despite a challenging business environment, the Group remains confident in its ability to stay the course. Our aim for 2022 is to maintain the Group's profitability and to continue to focus on customer centricity and sustainable innovation through new product development in our factories and through our cooperation and participation in Inwatec ApS while stepping up the optimization and digitalization of our internal processes.
