Successful first half of 2013

Consolidated revenues of the Komax Group amounted to CHF 167.7 million in the first half of 2013 (previous year: CHF 142.3 million). Of the overall increase of 17.8%, acquisitions accounted for 12.1%, and currency influences 0.6%. Internal growth amounted to 5.1%. Operating profit (EBIT) considerably increased by 114.6% to CHF 18.7 million (previous year: CHF 8.7 million). The EBIT margin came in at 11.1% (previous year: 6.1%). Currency influences here amounted to +0.2 percentage points. Group profit after taxes (EAT) increased to CHF 15.7 million (previous year: CHF 8.7 million).

The Komax Group remains on a very solid financial footing. On the balance sheet date, shareholders’ equity amounted to CHF 251.5 million (31 December 2012: CHF 236.1 million), while the equity ratio stood at 69.8% (31 December 2012: 65.7%). Free cash flow came in at CHF 12.0 million (previous year: CHF 17.2 million). Net cash increased to CHF 9.2 million (31 December 2012: CHF 0.9 million).

Another strong performance from Komax WireThanks to an outstanding market positioning globally and healthy end customer markets overall, Komax Wire continues to operate successfully. Sluggish demand from the European automotive industry and its suppliers domiciled in North Africa was more than offset by healthy growth rates in Asia, North America and South America. Furthermore, the remaining end customer markets – such as the domestic appliance, electronics and telecommuni­cation industries – are developing robustly when viewed from a global perspective. The integration of the companies acquired in 2012 is proceeding according to plan. Order intake amounted to CHF 131.9 million (previous year: CHF 106.7 million), or CHF 114.6 million when adjusted for acquisitions. Net sales totalled CHF 126.7 million (previous year: CHF 105.9 million), or CHF 109.5 million when adjusted for acquisitions. Internal growth here amounted to around 3%. EBIT came in at CHF 26.2 million (previous year: CHF 26.6 million). At 20.7%, the EBIT margin broadly mirrored that of the second half of 2012. Five months of the latter period contained the comparatively lower­margin business of TSK Group, which was consolidated for the first time in August 2012.

Stabilization at Komax SolarThe situation at Komax Solar has stabilized at a very low level. Although the crisis gripping the photovoltaics industry is unlikely to ease in the near term, we are assuming that the trough has now been reached. Against this difficult backdrop, Komax Solar suc­ceeded in winning numerous important orders, despite the small

number of industry projects put out to tender. It thus managed to consolidate its position as a leading supplier of stringer systems. Order intake increased sharply to CHF 13.7 million (previous year: CHF 4.3 million), while net sales amounted to CHF 11.0 million (previous year: CHF 5.8 million). Thanks to this increase and the sharply reduced cost base, the loss at EBIT level was more than halved to CHF –4.0 million (previous year: CHF –10.2 million).

Significant improvement in result at Komax MedtechAt Komax Medtech, the market situation largely normalized in 2013. Whereas the previous year was dominated by low levels of invest­ment among our clients, a large number of anticipated orders were placed in the period under review. Order intake doubled to CHF 52.7 million (previous year: CHF 25.5 million). At CHF 30.4 million, net sales broadly matched the previous year’s equivalent (previous year: CHF 31.0 million). The relatively high proportion of repeat orders, combined with the impact of measures initiated in 2012 to further increase efficiency, led to a significant improvement in the result. EBIT showed an encouraging rise to CHF 0.5 million (previous year: CHF –3.1 million).

OutlookThe fundamental drivers of the businesses of Komax remain intact. The focus of activities therefore lies on implementation of the stra­tegic initiatives designed to boost the profitable growth of Komax Wire and improve the income situation at the other two business units. On the basis of the very pleasing half­year result, the Komax Group will deliver a significantly better result for 2013 than for the previous year.

The end customer markets of Komax Wire remain in robust shape overall. In view of that, and based on all the other data currently available, we are expecting net sales for the second half of 2013 to broadly mirror that achieved in the first half of the year.

The situation of Komax Medtech has improved sharply com­pared to the previous year. This business unit has entered the second half of 2013 with a strong order book, and the prospects for winning further projects look highly promising. Given these positive parameters, we are expecting an improvement in net sales in the second half of the year compared to the first semester, as well as a further improvement of operating profit.

By contrast, the crisis in the solar industry is unlikely to ease off in the near term. We are therefore anticipating another negative operating result for this business unit in the second half of 2013.

Thanks to the continued strong performance of Komax Wire, a stabilization of the situation at Komax Solar, and a sharp improvement in profitability at Komax Medtech, all the key figures of the Komax Group have improved significantly. Order intake rose by 45.2% to CHF 198.2 million, while revenues increased by 17.8% to CHF 167.7 million. EBIT came in at CHF 18.7 million (11.1% of revenues), more than double the prior-year equivalent.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies2.1 General information on the consolidated financial statementsThe present consolidated financial statements comprise the unaudited consolidated half­year financial statements of Komax Holding AG, which is domiciled in Switzerland, and its subsidiaries for the reporting period ended 30 June 2013. The consolidated half­year financial statements were prepared in accordance with IAS 34, “Interim Financial Reporting”. They should be read in conjunction with the consolidated finan­cial statements produced for the financial year ended 31 December 2012, since they represent an updating of information published previously. The consolidated half­year financial statements were adopted by the Board of Directors on 12 August 2013.

Preparation of the consolidated half­year financial statements requires the Board of Directors and Group Management to make estimates and assumptions that have an effect on the stated income, expenses, as­sets and liabilities, as well as the disclosure of contingent liabilities. If, at a later point in time, the estimates and assumptions made by management in good faith at the time of the interim financial statements are found to differ from actual conditions, the original estimates and assumptions are revised accordingly in the reporting period in which conditions changed.

Particular areas in which estimates have a substantial influence on book values include the recognition of revenue based on the POC method (long­term work in progress), assets and liabilities stated in relation to employee benefits, as well as the assessment of deferred taxes and impairment of fixed assets.

The Komax Group operates in business sectors where sales are not subject to any material seasonal or cyclical fluctuations over the course of the financial year.

Income taxes are calculated based on the best estimate of the expected weighted average tax rate for the financial year as a whole.

2.2 Changes to the consolidated accounting policiesThe consolidated half­year financial statements of the Komax Group were prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in the 2012 Annual Report. Exceptions to these policies are set out below.

Komax adopted the following new standards and amendments to existing standards in accordance with the requirements for the financial year commencing 1 January 2013.

– IAS 1, “Presentation of Financial Statements”– IAS 19, “Employee Benefits”– IFRS 10, “Consolidated Financial Statements”– IFRS 11, “Joint Arrangements”– IFRS 12, “Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities”– IFRS 13, “Fair Value Measurement”

With the exception of the revision of IAS 19, these amendments have no significant impact on the consoli­dated financial statements of the Komax Group.

The adjustments to IAS 19 (revised) resulted in several changes. The most important change is that actu­arial gains and losses have to be entered directly under the other comprehensive income. The previous choice between immediate entry in the income statement, in the other comprehensive income or deferred entry using the “corridor” method no longer exists. Furthermore, the annual costs for defined benefit retire­ment plans now include net interest expenses or income calculated on the basis of the net position of the plan using the discount rate for defined benefit obligations.

The transfer between the results published previously for 2012 (using the former accounting and valuation methods) and the restated amounts that will be shown as comparative figures in 2013 (using the new ac­counting and valuation methods) is shown below.

In addition to the new standards already listed in the 2012 Annual Report and interpretations and amend­ments to published standards, a number of other miscellaneous changes and improvements were made to numerous standards. Komax is not applying them early. The Komax Group has not yet finally analysed the impact on the financial reporting. However, at the present time no material changes are expected for the consolidated financial statements of Komax.

2.3 Scope of consolidationThe consolidated half­year financial statements include the separate financial statements of Komax Holding AG, Dierikon (Switzerland), and all subsidiaries where Komax Holding AG directly or indirectly holds more than 50 percent of the voting power or otherwise exercises control over the entity’s financial and operating policies.

The remaining subsidiaries are listed on pages 106 and 107 of the 2012 Annual Report. There were no changes in the scope of consolidation as at 30 June 2013.

3 Impairment of assetsIn the first half of 2013, as in the same period of the previous year, there were no items requiring disclosure in the consolidated financial statements due to their unusual nature, scope or frequency.

Non­financial assets with an unspecified useful life are tested for impairment twice each year or if there are indications that their value has been impaired. The impairment test performed on 30 June 2013 on the goodwill stated in the balance sheet showed that its value had not been impaired.

Non­current assets subject to periodic depreciation are tested if there are indications that their value has been impaired. As at 30 June 2013, there were no signs of any impairment.

4 Other receivables and accrued income/prepaid expensesOther receivables and accrued income/prepaid expenses comprises:

in TCHF 30.06.2013 31.12.2012

Other receivables 12 174 9 164

Prepayments to suppliers 2 607 1 714

Accruals 4 220 3 910

Total 19 001 14 788

Other receivables consists primarily of credits with government organizations (Federal Tax Administration). Accruals include prepayments for insurance benefits and credits for maintenance and servicing work not yet carried out.

5 InventoriesInventories are not pledged to third parties and are made up of the following:

6 Non-current assets held for saleThe non­current asset held for sale with a carrying value of CHF 0.7 million as at 30 June 2013 (31 Decem­ber 2012: CHF 0.7 million) is a building in Rousset (France) which is no longer used for its original purpose. The search for a buyer is at an advanced stage, and a sale is expected within the next six months. As at 30 June 2013, there were no liabilities in connection with the building earmarked for sale.

7 ProvisionsIn the first half of 2013, warranty provisions were reduced by a net CHF 1.5 million (first half 2012: increase of CHF 1.5 million). Of this, CHF 1.4 million were formed for the first time (first half 2012: CHF 3.1 million), CHF 2.0 million used in the context of warranty work (first half 2012: CHF 1.6 million) and CHF 1.0 million reversed (first half 2012: CHF 0.1 million). The rest of the change was due to currency differences.

The other provisions decreased by CHF 1.4 million in the first half of 2013 (first half of 2012: no change). This position comprises only provisions for restructuring as at 30 June 2013 and 31 December 2012. The full CHF 1.4 million has been used. No additional other provisions were formed or reversed in the first half of 2013.

8 TaxesAs the Group is internationally active, its income taxes are dependent on a number of different tax jurisdic­tions. The expected average Group tax rate is equivalent to the weighted average of tax rates of those countries in which the Group is active. Due to the composition of the taxable income of the Group, as well as changes in local tax rates, this Group tax rate varies from year to year.

9 Contingent liabilitiesContingent liabilities amounted to CHF 17.0 million as at 30 June 2013 compared to CHF 8.5 million as at 31 December 2012.

10 Conditional capitalIn the first half of 2013, 41 417 options (first half 2012: 38 409 options) were converted into registered shares of Komax Holding AG. As at 30 June 2013, the conditional capital therefore consisted of 364 794 registered shares (30 June 2012: 410 711), each with a par value of CHF 0.10.
