The Q3, 2020/21 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 Q3 (the first 9 months) of 2020/21.
The Q3 result of the fiscal year 2020/21 has met the expectations under very difficult market conditions.
Highlights
- The revenue for YTD Q3 2020/21 was adversely impacted by COVID 19 and amounted to DKK 104,2 million (2019/20: DKK 150,6 million).
- The order intake and revenue have also been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 disruptions.
- The process of strengthening earnings by streamlining by consolidating production and supply chain at the subsidiary in Slovakia is still progressing according to the outlined plan. As a consequence of the transfer to Slovakia the production facilities in Nyborg have been vacated and we are now pursuing to sublease the premises.
- An ambitious reduction of fixed costs, including a substantial head-count reduction was launched in August 2020 to counter the impact of the sluggish market situation for equipment in the prepress industry. The full benefit of these savings will be realized before the end of the financial year. The major part will materialize in Q4 2020/2021 and hence, only a part has been included in Q3 2020/21 figures.
- EBITDA was DKK 12,0 million before non-recurring items and fair value adjustment on investment properties (2019/20: DKK 11,2 million.)
- Non-recurring items YTD 2020/21 amounted to DKK 2,5 million of which DKK 1,2 million related to the mold issues at the building complex Selandia Park, and the remaining DKK 1,3 million related to cost in connection with the transfer of production and spare-part center from Nyborg, Denmark to Presov, Slovakia. (2019/20: DKK 5,3 million).
