Q2 sales increase mainly driven by dynamic growth in Western Europe (+21%) and DACH region (+11%). Top line affected by several FX rate changes (AUD, TRY, ARS). Currency-adjusted H1 sales growth was almost 15%. Strong gross margin improvement underpins that the product assortment is well received by customers. Net income / EPS benefitted from lower tax rate (down from 34% to 27% in H1). Einhell reported Q2/H1 numbers. Overall, the dynamic sales and profit growth continued in Q2, driven by the further expansion of the Power- X-Change product series with a master battery concept for cordless power tools. The positive gross margin trend (+100bps in H1) underlines Einhell’s product quality and strong brand awareness. For H2 too, the confirmed 2018 outlook implies a sales increase of around 10% and positive EBT margin development. With its Q2/H1 report the group pointed to a more challenging environment for some regions (e.g. currency situation in Turkey, Argentina and Russia as well as the withdrawal of Bunnings from the UK). However, the potential impact of these factors on group numbers will be limited in our view. We have increased our estimates following the Q2/H1 report. The investment case is fully intact with the Power-X-Change series as a major growth driver. Moreover, the management is focused on its mid-term strategy with preparation for US market entry and planned investments in a new warehouse facility in Landau. In June, management announced a sales target of EUR 830m for 2022 (which is not fully reflected in our DCF model with expected sales of EUR 772m in 2022).

Company Background

� Einhell is the leading provider of power tools and garden equipment for household use. The products are sold under the Einhell brand

and as retailers' own brands.

� Value is created in the product development, quality control, sales, and after-sales services. Production is outsourced to China.

� Einhell's main customers are large DIY chains (54% of sales), specialised trade (15%) and e-commerce platforms (14%). The share

of business with discounters is at 14%.

� The company was founded in 1964 by Josef Thannhuber. The Thannhuber family holds the majority of the non-listed ordinary shares.

Competitive Quality

� Einhell successfully differentiates itself from its competitors by undercutting brand products such a Bosch or Black&Decker in price at

a comparable quality level.

� At the same time the company stands out from low-cost providers thanks to its strong focus on quality and after-sales services.

� Einhell shows a high level of cost flexibility and generated clearly positive earnings even in economically challenging years.

� With its broad range of offers, the clear positioning and the Power-X-Change category, Einhell is well on track for further market share

gains.

� The continuation of the international expansion (North/South America, Australia, Turkey) offers additional growth potential.

Free Cash Flow Value Potential Warburg Research's valuation tool "FCF Value Potential" reflects the ability of the company to generate sustainable free cash flows. It is based on the "FCF potential" - a FCF "ex growth" figure - which assumes unchanged working capital and pure maintenance capex. A value indication is derived via the perpetuity of a given year’s “FCF potential” with consideration of the weighted costs of capital. The fluctuating value indications over time add a timing element to the DCF model (our preferred valuation tool). in EUR m 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018e 2019e 2020e

DISCLOSURE ACCORDING TO §85 OF THE GERMAN SECURITIES TRADING ACT (WHPG), MAR AND MIFID II INCL. COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2016/958 AND (EU) 2017/565

The valuation underlying the investment recommendation for the company analysed here is based on generally accepted and widely used methods of

fundamental analysis, such as e.g. DCF Model, Free Cash Flow Potential, Peer Group Comparison or Sum of the Parts Model (see also

http://www.mmwarburg.de/disclaimer/disclaimer.htm#Valuation). The result of this fundamental valuation is modified to take into consideration the

analyst’s assessment as regards the expected development of investor sentiment and its impact on the share price.

Independent of the applied valuation methods, there is the risk that the price target will not be met, for instance because of unforeseen changes in

demand for the company’s products, changes in management, technology, economic development, interest rate development, operating and/or

material costs, competitive pressure, supervisory law, exchange rate, tax rate etc. For investments in foreign markets and instruments there are further

risks, generally based on exchange rate changes or changes in political and social conditions.

This commentary reflects the opinion of the relevant author at the point in time of its compilation. A change in the fundamental factors underlying the

valuation can mean that the valuation is subsequently no longer accurate. Whether, or in what time frame, an update of this commentary follows is not

determined in advance.

Additional internal and organisational arrangements to prevent or to deal with conflicts of interest have been implemented. Among these are the spatial

separation of Warburg Research GmbH from M.M.Warburg & CO (AG & Co.) KGaA and the creation of areas of confidentiality. This prevents the

exchange of information, which could form the basis of conflicts of interest for Warburg Research in terms of the analysed issuers or their financial

instruments.

The analysts of Warburg Research GmbH do not receive a gratuity – directly or indirectly – from the investment banking activities of M.M.Warburg &

CO (AG & Co.) KGaA or of any company within the Warburg-Group.

All prices of financial instruments given in this investment recommendation are the closing prices on the last stock-market trading day before the

publication date stated, unless another point in time is explicitly stated.

M.M.Warburg & CO (AG & Co.) KGaA and Warburg Research GmbH are subject to the supervision of the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority,

BaFin. M.M.Warburg & CO (AG & Co.) KGaA is additionally subject to the supervision of the European Central Bank (ECB).
