The first half of 2019 was marked by the robustness of the avionics sector, which increased by 6% (+EUR 0.2 million) compared to the first half of 2018 and represented more than 53% of total consolidated sales in the first half of 2019.

This increase offset the cyclical downturn in medical / biomedical activity (-EUR 0.2 million compared to the first half of 2018).

The optical communications sector recorded solid sales results representing 31% of the consolidated revenue for the first half of 2019, up 3% compared to the first half of 2018.

(Financial data were subject to a limited review by the Group’s statutory auditors. On August 30, 2019, MEMSCAP’s board of directors authorized the release of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements at 30 June 2019. Any apparent discrepancies in totals are due to rounding.)

* Including the dermo-cosmetic segment.

** Net of research & development grants.

(1) The Group has applied IFRS 16 using the full retrospective approach and the comparative information is not the same as the information previously presented in the prior year’s financial statements. The details of the changes in accounting policies are disclosed note 2.2 to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements at 30 June 2019.

The financial data for the 2018 financial year and presented in the comments below have been adjusted from the restatements relating to the adoption of IFRS 16, mandatory from 1 January 2019. These "restated" financial data are therefore different from those previously "published" for the 2018 financial year. The Group has applied IFRS 16 using the full retrospective approach with restatement of comparative information. At 30 June 2019, the adoption of IFRS 16 led to an increase of EUR 5.4 million in total consolidated assets and EUR 6.0 million in total consolidated liabilities, resulting in a -EUR.0.6 million reduction in total consolidated equity. For the first half of 2019 and 2018, the adoption of IFRS 16 resulted in a non-significant reduction in net income for the period and an increase in half-year EBITDA of +EUR 0.2 million in these periods. The detailed impacts of the adoption of IFRS 16 are presented in note 2.2 to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements at 30 June 2019.

In the first half of 2019, the Group's sales volumes led to a consolidated gross margin of EUR 2.1 million (31.6% of consolidated sales) compared to EUR 2.2 million during the restated first half of 2018 (33.4% of consolidated sales).

Operating expenses (net of research and development grants) amounted to EUR 2.0 million in the first half of 2019, similar to the restated first half of 2018. For the first half of 2019, the Group posted an operating profit of EUR 0.1 million compared to an operating profit of EUR 0.2 million for the restated first half of 2018.

The net financial loss was EUR 0.1 million compared to a non-significant net financial loss for the restated first half of 2018. The tax expense of EUR 0.1 million for the first half of 2019 and for the restated first half of 2018 corresponded to the change in deferred tax over the period with no impact on the Group's cash position.

The Group therefore reported a consolidated net loss of EUR 0.1 million for the first half of 2019 compared to a non-significant consolidated net loss in the restated first half of 2018.

* * *

Evolution of the Group’s cash / Consolidated shareholders’ equity

For the first half of 2019, the Group posted a positive EBITDA of EUR 0.7 million compared to a positive EBITDA of EUR 0.8 million for the restated first half of 2018. Cash flow from operating activities in the first half of 2019, +EUR 0.7 million vs +EUR 0.3 million for the restated first half of 2018, significantly increased by EUR 0.4 million resulting in particular from the reduction of the working capital requirement over the period. Therefore, the Group's net cash position increased by EUR 0.2 million in the first half of 2019 compared to a decrease of EUR 0.5 million in the restated first half of 2018.

At 30 June 2019, the Group reported available liquidities at EUR 3.8 million (31 December 2018: EUR 3.7 million) including cash investments for EUR 1.3 million (Corporate bonds) recorded under non-current financial assets and cash and short-term deposits for EUR 2.5 million.

Current financial debt, including lease liabilities under IFRS 16, was EUR 1.0 million at 30 June 2019, similar to the position at 30 December 2018 (restated).

MEMSCAP shareholders’ equity totalled EUR 16.8 million at 30 June 2019 compared to EUR 16.7 million at 31 December 2018 (restated).

* * *

Analysis and perspectives

The first half of 2019 confirmed the robustness of the Group's avionics business, representing more than 53% of the half-year consolidated revenue, as well as the good performance of the optical communications market despite an uncertain international context.

MEMSCAP pursues its strategy focused on avionics, medical and optical communications segments as well as increasing the flexibility of its production capabilities.
