2012 Half-year Results DOCDATA N.V.: E-commerce Growth Continues
19 Jul, 2012, 06:30 BST
WAALWIJK, The Netherlands, July 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
- Strong growth of revenue and profit of E-commerce service company
- Few deliveries and orders for IAI industrial systems
DOCDATA N.V. realised a strong half-year 2012. This is mainly due to the growth of the e-commerce clients. Several of our clients outperformed the market and expand the number of products and product categories continuously. Internationalisation also plays an important and more increasing role. Almost all major clients of Docdata operate in various countries. To realise this growth, Docdata will keep expanding its fulfilment capacity, also in the second half-year of 2012. As a result, the investments are expected to exceed the level of investments of 2011.
Again, the E-commerce service company Docdata realised a further growth in revenue and the number of processed transactions in the first half of 2012. This is mainly due to the success of our clients in Germany and the Benelux.
Due to the current market situation, IAI industrial systems delivered only a small number of systems in the first half-year of 2012, which is also the expectation for the second half of 2012. As a result, revenue and results of IAI for 2012 will be considerably lower than in 2011.
The permanent staff of the Group decreased slightly in the first half of 2012 from 1,116 employees (1,070 FTE) at the beginning of the year to 1,067 employees (1,000 FTE) at the end of the first half-year 2012.
Michiel Alting von Geusau, CEO of DOCDATA N.V.: "In the market for outsourced e-fulfilment services we have realised a very strong position in the past years and we have reached a top 3 position in both the Benelux and in Germany. Within Europe, we are one of the few players that can offer a cross border network. In this market, Docdata is more and more seen as one of the key players. We are also seen as a reliable, flexible and entrepreneurial party, characteristics that Internet companies are looking for."

E-commerce service company Docdata again realised an increase in the number of unique transactions; in the first half-year 2012 18.5 million unique transactions were processed compared to 16.5 million in the first half-year 2011 (increase: 12%). Revenue of the E-commerce service company grew autonomous with almost € 9.5 million (+17%).
For the second half-year of 2012, the focus is on further growth of our e-fulfilment and e-payment services through the growth of existing clients and new clients. At the end of 2012 we expect to have a footprint of approximately 100,000 square meters in use for our clients. A large part of this footprint has several storage levels. In order to achieve further growth, we will enter into rental and investment obligations in the second half-year of 2012 for additional capacity from 2013 onwards. We expect to add a minimum of 30,000 square meters warehouse space.
The most important trend currently relevant for Docdata, is cross border activities within Europe of both consumers and merchants. For this we have developed concepts that enable us to efficiently process both the outgoing order flow and the return shipments. Consumers can thus receive their orders with a high delivery performance and returns can be quickly handled. For our clients we check the return shipments and refurbish these for sale. Besides Italy, we plan to add several new countries to our international network by entering into contracts with local partners.
The E-commerce service company Docdata facilitates the cross border activities of customers through its international network.
The current risks for the E-commerce service company are mainly in terms of the strategic choice of clients to purchase certain services from external suppliers or not. With our vision 2015 "Growth through Quality" we offer the best protection against this risk, by continuously providing a very high quality service.
Technology company IAI industrial systems realised a revenue of € 3.3 million in the first half-year 2012, which is a decrease of € 2.1 million (-/- 38%) compared to the first half-year 2011. The main cause was the lower number of delivered systems, which was in line with previously announced expectations. As a result, the operating profit of IAI for the first half-year 2012 decreased to just below breakeven (EBIT loss of €-42-thousand), coming from an EBIT profit of € 0.5 million in the first half-year of 2011.
IAI industrial systems has built a good reputation worldwide in the market for the security and personalisation of security documents, particularly for passports, ID cards, banknotes and other documents. Not only for end users of these products (the governments) but also for the integrators in this market, IAI aims at being the most reliable partner. Integrators are parties that acquire large governmental assignments for which they need the equipment of IAI besides their own contribution. Therefore, our confidence in the future of IAI remains unchanged and we keep working hard in realising orders for 2013 and beyond.
Major features of the first half-year 2012
Revenue of DOCDATA N.V. increased with € 7.4 million to € 67.4 million (+12%) in the first half-year 2012. In line with previously announced expectations, revenue of IAI industrial systems decreased with € 2.1 million (-/- 38%) predominantly due to less system deliveries. The E-commerce service company Docdata has realised a fully autonomous growth of €-12.3 million (+23%) due to the increase in the number of transactions of existing clients and new clients. Revenue in the first half-year of 2011 included €-2.9-million revenue for the last remaining media replication activities in Tilburg, which have been sold per 1 January 2012.
In the first half-year 2012 a higher gross profit of € 16.9 million has been realised compared to € 14.1 million in the first half-year 2011 (+20%). The gross profit margin for the first half-year 2012 was 25.1% compared to 23.5% for the first half-year 2011, with an increase of the gross profit margin for both lines of business. For Docdata the increased gross profit margin is mainly due to efficiency improvement of the fulfilment operations, mainly in Germany. For IAI industrial systems, the increase of the gross profit margin is a direct consequence of the different (limited) size and composition of deliveries in both comparable periods.
In the first half-year 2012 an operating result before financing result (EBIT) of € 5.9 million has been realised compared to € 3.5 million in the first half-year 2011. The operating result of the technology company IAI industrial systems is just below breakeven level, mainly as a result of the delivery of less systems in the first half-year 2012 and higher organisation costs due to a larger organisation. The operating result of the E-commerce service company Docdata increased autonomously with € 2.9 million considering that the EBIT for the first half-year 2012 contains no relevant non-recurring costs, while in the first half-year of 2011 the EBIT included € 0.2 million for non-recurring costs.
The profit for the first half-year 2012 amounts to € 4.2 million and increased sharply compared to the profit for the first half-year of 2011 (€ 2.5 million). This is predominantly due to an improved EBIT (+€ 2.4 million), in combination with and improved net financing result (+€-0.2 million) and an increased income tax expense (-/- € 0.8 million). The increased income tax expense is solely the result of a higher tax rate in the first half-year 2012 (29.6%) compared to the first half-year 2011 (27.5%) due to a higher profit contribution by the German organisation and a higher (average) tax rate in Germany compared to the Netherlands.
DOCDATA N.V. maintained its strong financial position during the first half-year 2012, resulting in a solvency ratio of 48.5% per 30 June 2012 (31 December 2011: 58.0%). Excluding the effect of the consolidation of the balance sheet as per 30 June 2012 of Stichting foundation docdata payments, the solvency ratio was 56.2% per that date.
This 'cleaned' decrease is the result of the combination of the main movements in equity, profit for the first half-year 2012 (€ 4.2 million) and paid dividend over the 2011 profit (€-3.5 million), as well as an increase of the balance sheet total due to the growth of the business.
In relation to the Company's liquidity, DOCDATA N.V. has realised in the first half-year 2012 a cash flow from operating activities of € 2.0 million. Furthermore, cash for an amount of €-1.1 million was received in the first half-year 2012 from the sale of property, plant and equipment, the sale of the media replication activities, the exercise of share options and repayments from other investments. In total, this resulted in a total cash-in of € 3.1 million. DOCDATA N.V. has also used its credit facility with Deutsche Bank Nederland N.V. to fund the payment of the dividend in June, resulting in a bank overdraft of € 1.9 million per 30 June 2012. The Group invested in the half-year ended 30 June 2012 a total amount of € 11.3 million, containing the payment of the 2011 dividend of €-3.5-million, capital expenditure in property, plant and equipment of € 7.2 million (mainly for warehousing equipment in Waalwijk and Groβbeeren) and intangibles (€ 0.4 million, mainly for IT development costs for the payments platform) and the acquisition of FEHA LaserTec Halle GmbH for € 0.2 million. As a result, the net cash position of the Group has decreased with almost € 8.2 million to a net debt position of € 0.4 million per 30 June 2012 (31 December 2011: net cash position of €-7.8 million), excluding the restricted cash position per 30 June 2012 of Stichting foundation docdata payments (€ 9.8 million).
Outlook
The focus in 2012 will be on growth, predominantly autonomous. Potential acquisitions are expected to be of limited magnitude and will mainly be aimed at further strengthening of our position in the markets in which we operate.
The focus of the E-commerce service company Docdata is on further development of our position in the Benelux, Germany and the UK. In addition, we will analyse in the second half-year of 2012 the possibilities to become active in other European markets. Based on our current client base, we expect for the second half-year of 2012 further growth.
The focus for the technology company IAI industrial systems remains on the realisation of orders worldwide in existing and specifically defined markets. Considering the order book level of IAI industrial systems as at 30 June 2012, combined with the length of the time between an order and the completion and delivery of systems at the client, we expect lower revenues and results for IAI industrial systems for the full year 2012.
Strategy
In the current strategy 'Vision 2015: Growth through Quality', our primary challenge is to deliver the best quality to our clients every day again. This will offer us the best guarantee that clients stay with us and new clients can be won. Only through delivering the best quality our clients can be successful.

- Revenue of the E-commerce service company Docdata (excluding the effect of media replication activities in the prior year comparable period) increased with €-12.3 million (+23%), including a positive foreign exchange effect of €-0.2 million. This revenue increased due to autonomous growth in both Germany and the Netherlands through a higher transaction number realised for both existing and new customers. In the first half-year ended 30-June 2011 revenue included € 2.9 million for media replication activities. In the first half-year 2012 no further revenue for media replication activities was recorded due to the sale of the final remaining media replication activities in Tilburg per the 1st-of January 2012.
- IAI industrial systems' revenue decreased € 2.1 million (-/-38%) mainly due to fewer systems deliveries during the half-year ended 30 June 2012.

The better gross profit margin is mainly caused by a further improvement of efficiency of the fulfilment operations, especially in Germany.
- The gross profit of IAI industrial systems decreased with € 0.2 million (-/-14%) due to lower sales. Gross profit margin increased due to a different sales mix compared to the half-year ended 30 June 2011.

- The operating profit of the E-commerce service company Docdata increased with € 2.9 million, mainly resulting from a €-3.0 million higher gross profit and € 0.3 million higher selling and administrative expenses. In the half-year ended 30 June 2011 an amount of € 0.2 for restructuring expenses was recorded under selling and administration expenses. In the first half-year 2012 no restructuring costs have been recognised.
- The operating income of IAI industrial systems decreased with € 0.5 million and went just below breakeven. This is predominantly caused by fewer systems deliveries in the first half-year 2012 and increased selling and administrative expenses, resulting from an increased general cost base of the grown IAI organisation over the last years.
Net financing income / (expenses)
Net financing income for the half-year ended 30 June 2012 amounted to € 53 thousand compared to net financing expenses of €-152 thousand for the half-year ended 30 June 2011. This increase of €-0.2 million is predominantly caused by the foreign currency exchange result in the half-year ended 30 June 2012 (€ 0.1 million profit) compared to the half-year ended 30 June 2011 (€-0.1-million loss) related to the British pound.
Income tax expense
DOCDATA's effective tax rate in the half-year ended 30 June 2012 was 29.6% with an income tax expense of €-1.8 million on a profit before income tax of € 6.0 million. In the half-year ended 30-June 2011, the profit before income tax amounted to € 3.4 million and the income tax expense amounted to €-0.9 million (effective tax rate: 27.1%). The increased effective tax rate represents that the increase of profit before income tax origins predominantly from the German operations, which are taxed at a higher income tax rate than applicable in the Netherlands and the UK.
The income tax expense of € 1.8 million in the half-year ended 30 June 2012 is the combined result of the following tax treatments of the results per country:
- In the Netherlands, income taxes are recorded at a corporate income tax rate of 25.0% on the taxable income for the Dutch fiscal entity as well as for the Dutch subsidiaries that are not part of this fiscal entity (2011: 25.0%).
- In the United Kingdom, income taxes are recorded against a blended corporate income tax rate of 24.5% (2011: 27.0%).
- In Germany, income taxes are recorded at a corporate income tax rate of in general between 26% and around 30% on taxable income for the German entities when and where applicable, depending on the actual region in Germany of their legal seat (e.g. Berlin, Munich or Münster region).
Liquidity and capital resources
The General Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on 30 May 2012 approved the proposal to distribute a dividend of € 0.50 per ordinary share outstanding (excluding own shares held by the Company), which had a decreasing impact of € 3.5 million on retained earnings within the equity of the Company in the half-year ended 30 June 2012.
In the half-year ended 30 June 2012, the Group realised net cash from operating activities of €-2.0-million. Furthermore, € 1.1 million in cash was received from the sale of property, plant and equipment (€-0.4 million), the sale of the media replication activities (€ 0.4 million), the exercise of share options (€-0.2 million) and repayments from other investments (€ 0.1 million). In total, this resulted in a total cash-in of € 3.1 million for the half-year ended 30 June 2012. DOCDATA N.V. has also used its credit facility with Deutsche Bank Nederland N.V. to fund the payment of the dividend in June, resulting in a bank overdraft of € 1.9 million per 30 June 2012. With these funds, the Group invested in the half-year ended 30 June 2012 a total amount of €-11.3 million, containing the payment of the 2011 dividend (€ 3.5 million), capital expenditure in property, plant and equipment (€ 7.2 million, mainly for warehousing equipment in Waalwijk and Groβbeeren) and intangibles (€ 0.4 million, mainly for IT development costs for the payments platform) and the acquisition of FEHA LaserTec Halle GmbH (€ 0.2 million). As a result, the net cash position of the Group has decreased with almost €-8.2 million to a net debt position of € 0.4 million per 30-June 2012 (31 December 2011: net cash surplus of € 7.8 million), excluding the restricted cash position per 30 June 2012 of Stichting foundation docdata payments (€ 9.8 million).
In the half-year ended 30 June 2012 28,250 share options were exercised from the 2008 and 2009 series at an average exercise price of € 6.70 per share. The underlying shares have been delivered by the Company from the shares in stock. The proceeds of € 0.2 million have been credited to equity ('Reserve for own shares'). Per 30 June 2012, the Company had 68,370 own shares in stock (0.98%), which number is the same as the number of own shares currently owned by the Company per 19 July 2012. Per 30 June 2012 a total number of 79,500 share options are outstanding; 9,000-share options of the 2008 series (exercise price: € 6.83 per share) and 70,500 share options of the 2009 series (exercise price: € 6.38 per share), which are all exercisable and 'in-the-money'. Furthermore, a total number of 126,426 Performance Shares are outstanding per 30 June 2012, which have been granted conditionally in 2010 (19,284 Performance Shares; vesting date: 14 May 2013), 2011 (40,755 Performance Shares; vesting date: 17 June 2014) and 2012 (66,387 Performance Shares; vesting date: 1 June 2015).
