ORIOR HALF YEAR REPORT 2020
Dear Shareholders | |
We are pleased to present you a good first half of 2020 against the backdrop of Covid-19 - | |
thanks to its broader operational footprint, flexible and agile structure, and market centricity | |
as well as its good business development during the first two-and-a-half months of the fiscal | |
year. Business was materially impacted by government guidelines and restrictions and the | |
ensuing measures ORIOR implemented to protect the health of its employees and maintain | |
its supply capabilities. The consequent changes in ORIOR's product and channel mix led to | |
a surge in the retail business and a near-standstill in business at travel catering specialist | |
Casualfood as well as sharp declines in other areas of the food service business. | |
ORIOR Group generated revenues of CHF 287.4 million in the first half of 2020, which corresponds to an increase | |
of 2.8% from the prior-year period. Organic revenues increased 0.2%, which is notable considering the difficult sit- | |
uation. Organic growth was driven by the ORIOR Refinement and ORIOR International segments. Sharply higher | |
demand in the retail sector due to changes in consumption needs as a result of government policy responses to the | |
pandemic was the key factor for their growth. In addition, business with food service customers after the easing of | |
lockdown restrictions in May was better than expected, albeit still at low levels. On the whole, the significant declines | |
in food service revenues (restaurants, wholesale, take-away, event catering, canteens, schools, childrenʼs lunch ser- | |
vices) were more than offset by the organic growth. Acquisitions had a positive effect of 4.0% on Group revenues, | |
which reflects the purchase of the second tranche of Casualfood shares in the autumn of 2019 and the consequent | |
2 | |
full consolidation of the subsidiary. Currency translation had a negative effect of -1.4% on Group revenues. | |
EBITDA declined by CHF 4.9 million to CHF 23.5 million and the resulting EBITDA margin stood at 8.2%. This con- | |
traction is attributed on the one hand to non-recurring costs related to the many measures taken to safeguard the | |
health of ORIOR employees and the company's supply capabilities. The implementation of these measures, ranging | |
from additional safeguards in production areas and break rooms to structural and other changes at points of entry | |
or in locker/changing rooms, entailed considerable - mostly non-recurring - additional costs. They also resulted | |
in temporarily higher absentee rates (vulnerable workers) and slowed down certain operating processes. Public | |
policy responses restricting the right to travel and freedom of movement led to shifts in consumption patterns | |
that impacted both the product and the sales channel mix. There was a general increase in demand from retailers, | |
especially for branded and core products in the refinement, fresh pasta and veggie categories and for Biotta juices. | |
Promotional activities and certain product lines were temporarily scaled back or halted. Meanwhile sales of ready | |
meals declined, in part because of more homeoffice working and consumers had more time to cook their own | |
meals. On the other hand, restaurants and other food establishments were forced to close during the lockdown | |
and that led to the production stoppage of entire product groups. Thanks to its flexible and agile structure, ORIOR | |
managed to realign its production activities in response to the changes in the product mix as well as the surge in | |
demand from food retailers within a very short period of time, which, however, entailed additional costs during this | |
phase of transition. The relatively lower-margin Refinement segment showed very good organic growth during this | |
extraordinary crisis, while sales at the generally higher-margin Convenience segment declined due to the afore- | |
mentioned changes in consumption needs and the sudden plunge in the food service business. These changes | |
in the product and channel mix had an impact on the Groupʼs profitability as well. Moreover, the near standstill at | |
Casualfood, integrated into ORIOR Group as of the autumn of 2019, had an additional and material impact on all key | |
figures of the income statement. | |
Quickly initiated cost-cutting measures, temporary measures such as short-time work, and the one-time insurance | |
benefits received were unable to completely offset the above-mentioned negative factors. Operating profit (EBIT) | |
was additionally impacted by acquisition-related depreciation. First-half EBIT amounted to CHF 10.0 million, a | |
decline of CHF 7.4 million compared to the prior-year period. Net profit declined by CHF 5.7 million to CHF 8.3 | |
million, which also reflects the absence of the positive non-recurring income tax effects from the prior-year period. |
ORIOR HALF YEAR REPORT 2020
Operating cash flow for the period under review amounted to CHF 9.6 million (H1 2019: CHF 20.8 million). This cont- | |
raction reflects the lower earnings and insured benefits that will not be paid out until July 2020. The cash conversion | |
ratio of 40.9% for the period was therefore also well below the multi-year average (H1 2019: 73.3%). | |
ORIOR Convenience segment | |
The Convenience segment, which consists of the Fredag, Le Patron, Pastinella and Biotta competence centres, re- | |
ported revenues of CHF 95.2 million, which represents a decline of - 3.9% from the prior-year period. All four com- | |
petence centres began the year on a positive note and the outlook for the months to follow was promising. That | |
abruptly changed with the restrictions and guidelines issued by government officials in response to the coronavirus | |
outbreak, which led to significant declines in food service sales as well as shifts in consumption patterns as people | |
had more time to cook. Fredag and Le Patron, the two competence centres that generate a large share of their | |
total revenues in the food service business, were materially impacted by these developments. Fredag nevertheless | |
experienced good growth in the retail channel and its business with customers in the restaurant industry was better | |
than expected as restrictions were eased, whereas Le Patron's revenues from ready meals plunged due to the shifts | |
in consumption needs, in addition to the absence of event-related catering revenues and the slow resumption of | |
business with canteens and schools late in the reporting period. Pastinella and Biotta juices generated very good | |
revenues - thanks in part to their low exposure to the food service business. Ultimately, the additional revenues with | |
the retail industry were unable to completely offset the significant drop in this segment's revenues from food service | |
and ready-made products. | |
As for raw materials, the segment was challenged by high prices for Swiss poultry and the tight supply of special raw | |
3 | |
materials (e.g. organically grown raw materials) - partly attributable to the increase in demand from retailers. | |
ORIOR Refinement segment | |
The ORIOR Refinement segment with the Rapelli, Albert Spiess and Möfag competence centres achieved very good | |
organic growth of 3.7% to CHF 131.9 million in the first half of 2020, to which all three competence centres cont- | |
ributed. The key driver was sharply higher demand in the retail and discounter channels, even though promotional | |
activities and product lines were occasionally scaled back at short notice. The very good performance of branded | |
and core product groups and general trends distinguished by a preference for regional and organic products - which | |
have gained even more momentum because of the coronavirus - could more than offset these reductions in promo- | |
tional activities and product lines. Thanks to their strong regional appeal and "terroir specialities", Rapelli and Albert | |
Spiess additionally profited from the greater numbers of Swiss who vacationed or made short trips in Switzerland. | |
Möfag generates a much smaller share of its over-all revenues with food service customers and demand for its | |
products from discounters was also sharply higher, so it likewise performed very well in the first half. | |
As for raw materials, the expected high prices in view of the significantly higher levels of demand - especially for | |
organic and regional products - were pushed even higher by the tight supply of Swiss raw materials. |
ORIOR International segment
The ORIOR International segment with the Culinor and Casualfood competence centres, Biotta's sister company Gesa, and Spiess Europe, a distribution platform, increased its revenues to CHF 74.8 million compared to CHF
67.3 million in the prior-year period. This growth of +11.1% consists of an acquisition effect of +16.6% from the acquisition of Casualfood as of the autumn of 2019, good organic growth of +0.3% considering the extraordinary situation, and a clearly negative currency effect of -5.8%. The reporting period started off very well; afterwards, the rapid global outbreak of the coronavirus and subsequent lockdowns with an almost complete standstill of the airline industry hit Casualfood, a company specialising in travel catering, hard. Almost all of its sales outlets had to be closed. Rail and air traffic has slowly resumed since June 2020 and Casualfood's points of sale are also gradu- ally being reopened. In the Benelux food service and retail markets, the situation was similar to that in Switzerland. The Culinor Food Group, ORIOR's specialist for freshly prepared meals and meal components, generated strong growth with home delivery solutions and specialty products for the retail channel developed in collaboration with
ORIOR HALF YEAR REPORT 2020
renowned chefs. At the same time, food service revenues in the Benelux (including schools and system gastro- nomy) plunged, and sales of ready meals declined due to the restrictions imposed on freedom of movement and travel and the ensuing shift in consumption patterns (employees working from home, more time to cook). Gesa, Biotta's sister company specialised in organic vegetable juices for the B2B market, and Spiess Europe delivered very good results for the period under review.
On the commodity front, there were no changes or notable extraordinary effects.
Key Group initiatives
The presentation of the ORIOR 2025 strategy has been postponed due to the extraordinary situation in the wake of the corona pandemic. The ongoing strategy process is being interactively developed with the Top50, key executives and specialists from throughout ORIOR Group, and approved in stages by the Board of Directors, which is closely involved in the process. The ORIOR 2025 strategy will be presented to investors on 9 November 2020. It will also cover the increasingly important issue of sustainability and the somewhat broader ESG issues (Environmental, Social and Governance). Both are the focus of key Group initiatives that are being vigorously pursued. The current focus is on firmly anchoring sustainability issues in the company's planning and implementation processes as well as in the daily operations and the general mindsets of its employees. Talent management, clean label, energy strategy and packaging optimisation are other projects that we are working on. ORIOR intends to provide a detailed overview concerning ESG when it publishes its 2020 annual report. A key element of management strategy as well as the ORIOR 2025 strategy is "New Normal," a key strategic initiative that was launched in the spring of 2020. Besides taking measures to sustain if not improve the company's operating performance levels and cost-efficiency, we are
4also conducting a detailed analysis of our financial and organisational structures under this initiative and will make the necessary changes to ensure their future-readiness and create fresh momentum for sustainable growth beyond today's horizons.
Thank you
This crisis is broad and challenging. The society we live in, the economy and the entire world have been affected in unprecedented ways and this crisis will challenge us for some time to come. Daniel Lutz, CEO of ORIOR Group: "I thank all ORIOR employees for the remarkable achievements and for ensuring compliance with all the emergency orders and measures that were imposed during this extraordinary time. The general operating environment and working conditions were and are anything but normal. This has required perseverance, strength, and identification. So far, we have mastered this crisis well. You have earned my admiration and respect."
Outlook
Considering the volatile situation surrounding the coronavirus, it is very difficult to give reliable outlook for the 2020 fiscal year. Based on our realistic expectations, we anticipate a good course of business in the second half of the year are good under the given circumstances. Assuming the general situation with respect to the corona pandemic is stable, the extraordinary effects the pandemic has had on our business activities should continue to subside. The food service business should continue to recover, given the travel restrictions that are still in place and the resulting greater number of domestic tourists in Switzerland's holiday regions. Nevertheless, the situation is still far from normal. We expect a substantial recovery in many channels of the food service business by the end of the year, but hardly any improvement in other areas of the food service industry, event catering for example. In view of the extraordinary situation facing the world today, the travel industry is likely to recover at a much slower pace. Casual- food, thanks to its agile and flexible business model specialising in small and micro outlets as well as mobile food vending stands, is ideally positioned to benefit from the resumption of travel activity. From today's perspective, we expect Casualfood to have at least half of its outlets up and running again by the end of 2020. The retail business is expected to be a strong performer in the second half too, but growth is likely to level off somewhat. On the product front, we expect the trends towards organic and regional products to continue and that sales of ready-made meals will remain sluggish in the second half (as employees continue to work from home). We are working on specifically
ORIOR HALF YEAR REPORT 2020
defined measures and initiatives to improve the company's efficiency and cost base. At the same time, the costs incurred to protect our employees and ensure our supply capability, factoring out the non-recurring expenses, will be lower. Despite the ongoing situation with the coronavirus, we expect operating profitability (EBITDA margin) to rise above the level of 8.2% reported for the first half of the year. Looking beyond the current year, we are very optimistic regarding 2021 and expect good growth rates and a further improvement in the EBITDA margin.

ORIOR HALF YEAR REPORT 2020
Notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
1 Basis of presentation
This interim report comprises the consolidated financial statements of ORIOR AG and its subsidiaries for the interim period ended 30 June 2020. The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the entire Swiss GAAP FER (Accounting and Reporting Recommendations). The accounting principles also comply with the provisions of the listing rules of the SIX Swiss Exchange and with Swiss company law.
The interim consolidated financial statements 2020 were prepared in compliance with Swiss GAAP FER 31 - Complementary recommendation for listed companies and should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements 2019 as the interim consolidated financial statements do not contain all disclosures required in the year-end financial statements.
The Board of Directors approved the interim consolidated report on 18 August 2020.
In preparing the interim financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities as well as the reported contingent liabilities at the close of the interim reporting period. If in the future such estimates and assumptions, which are based on man- agement's best judgement at the date of the interim financial statements, deviate from the actual circumstances, the estimates and assumptions for the period in which the circumstances change will be modified as appropriate.
Related to the coronavirus an impairment test was conducted for the intangible assets of Casualfood as of the first
12half year. The result shows that no impairment is necessary.
The figures shown in the interim consolidated financial statements are rounded up or down. The actual calculations are made with greater precision, so small rounding differences can appear.
2 Change in scope of consolidation
In the reporting period
During the reporting period Orior Deutschland GmbH in Liq. with registered office in Frankfurt was liquidated and is no longer in the scope of consolidation. A liquidation surplus of kCHF 92 was realized. At the time of the liquidation the cumulated translation differences amounted to kCHF 122, which were recycled through financial income.
On 22 January 2020 the establishment of the joint venture "Smartseller" with duty free retail and distribution company Gebr. Heinemann SE & Co. KG was announced. The joint venture was founded on 01 June 2020 and will start operating in the second half of 2020. The investment of kCHF 206 are payments for share capital and other deposits from Casualfood GmbH to Smartseller GmbH & Co. KG. This company will be recognized as associated organisation and joint venture and accounted for using the equity method.
In the prior year period
There were no changes in the scope of consolidation during the prior year period.
ORIOR HALF YEAR REPORT 2020
3 Segment information
For management purposes, the Group is structured along product categories into the three following operating segments:
- ORIOR Convenience and its competence centres Fredag, Pastinella, Le Patron and Biotta operate five processing
facilities in the German-speaking part of Switzerland. Besides fresh convenience products such as ready-made meals, patés and terrines, fresh pasta, vegetarian and vegan specialities as well as cooked poultry and meat products, the Convenience segment also produces all-natural organic vegetable and fruit juices. Its products are mainly sold through retail, food service channels and specialised retailers in Switzerland. The Convenience segment consists of four operating segments. These operating segments have been aggregated because their long-term financial performance is similar. The type of product and the way these products are made as well as the client groups are also similar, and in some cases identical.
- ORIOR Refinement and its three competence centres Rapelli, Albert Spiess and Möfag operate five processing and refining facilities in the cantons of Grisons, Ticino and St. Gallen. The segment is characterised by a clear focus on refined and processed meat products and produces traditional premium meat products from Bünd- nerfleisch and ham to salami and Mostbröckli. The products are mainly sold through retail and food service channels in Switzerland. The Refinement segment includes three main operating segments. These operating segments have been aggregated because their long-term financial performance is similar. The type of product and the way these products are made as well as the client groups are also similar, and in some cases identical.
- ORIOR International consists of the two operating competence centres Culinor Food Group and Causualfood, | |
the operating activities of Biotta's sister company Gesa, and Spiess Europe, a platform for the final slicing, | |
13 | |
packaging and distribution of the Group's products. The Culinor Food Group centre of competence has five sites | |
in Belgium where it produces high-qualityready-made meals and meal components, most of which are supplied | |
to retailers and food services companies. Gesa is based in Germany and specialises in producing organic vege- | |
table juices for the food and beverage industry. Casualfood operates approximately 60 small food to go islands | |
at hightraffic locations in airports. |
Net sales by segment
in CHF thousand | Jan - Jun 2020 | Jan - Jun 2019 |
ORIOR Convenience | 95 222 | 99 047 |
ORIOR Refinement | 131 874 | 127 229 |
ORIOR International | 74 776 | 67 288 |
Intercompany eliminations | -14 459 | -13 924 |
Net sales | 287 414 | 279 640 |
ORIOR foregoes reporting detailed segment results due to the following reason (Swiss GAAP FER 31): There are only a few major players on the sourcing and sales sides of the market in which ORIOR Group operates but there are many food and beverage producers. ORIOR Group is one of the few companies in its industry that publishes financial statements. The publication of detailed segment results created significant problems for ORIOR Group in recent years.
4 Seasonality of operations
Due to its broad product portfolio and high degree of product diversification, the ORIOR Group experiences a generally stable course of business with little seasonal variation. The only exception is the increase in revenues in the month of December, which is attributable to greater demand in the run-up to Christmas and New Year's Eve.
ORIOR HALF YEAR REPORT 2020
5 Net sales
The measures imposed by government officials to contain the coronavirus pandemic, including widespread travel restrictions, and the ensuing shifts in consumer needs led to in some cases sharp declines in revenues from food service channels and Casualfood. The surge in demand from retail customers and the good performance of the export business compensated these declines.

The significant increase in net sales in Germany is due to the Casualfood acquisition. Good export business is driving the net sales in the country group Others.

6 Dividends
The dividend for 2019 was paid in June 2020 in conformity with the decision taken at the Annual General Meeting on 04 June 2020. Shareholders approved the proposed dividend of CHF 2.32 per share, resulting in a total dividend of kCHF 15 100 (2019: kCHF 14 550). 50% of the dividend is paid out of retained earnings (subject to withholding tax) and 50% is paid out of the contribution reserve (exempt from withholding tax). The payment of the withholding tax in the amount of kCHF 2 643 was outstanding as of 30 June 2020.

7 Income taxes
The major components of income tax expense are:
in CHF thousand | Jan - Jun 2020 | Jan - Jun 2019 |
Current income taxes | -3 493 | -2 146 |
Movements of deferred taxes | 1 603 | -11 |
Total | -1 891 | -2 157 |
During the prior year period tax-loss carryforwards were offset against profits. This resulted in lower income taxes in the previous year. The positive movements of deferred taxes can be partly attributed to amortisations of intangibles resulting from the Casualfood acquisition.
8 Income from insurance payment
The ORIOR group is covered by a property and business interruption insurance which covers epidemic risks. The insurance coverage for these epidemic risks amounts to up to kCHF 4 400. The claim for the entire coverage of kCHF 4 400 was completed in the first half of 2020 and is recognized in the consolidated income statement in the other operating income. The corresponding payment took place at the beginning of July, thus after the reporting period.
9 Events after the balance sheet date
There were no significant events after the balance sheet date of 30 June 2020.
