The Agfa-Gevaert Group in Q 2 202 3 : continued progress for the growth engines
Mortsel (Belgium), August 23 , 20 2 3 – Agfa-Gevaert today commented on its results in the second quarter of 202 3 .
“Whereas the macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions remained tough for several of our traditional activities, we booked significant revenue growth for our growth engines in HealthCare IT and Digital Print. In terms of new business creation, we are on track with the development of the SpeedSet 1060 single-pass packaging printer. When introduced to the market in 2024, it will be the fastest printer in its category. Furthermore, as more and more large green hydrogen projects are being implemented, sales for our industry-leading ZIRFON membranes are growing exponentially. Meanwhile, we are making good progress with our project to build a new industrial unit for ZIRFON membranes at our Mortsel site in Belgium. I am very pleased that this project has been selected for a EU Innovation Fund Grant. The new plant will allow us to meet future customer demand and to be a key player in the clean energy transition,” said Pascal Juéry, President and CEO of the Agfa-Gevaert Group.
Reporting post Offset Solutions
The recent sale of the Offset Solutions division (now rebranded to ECO3) influences the way the Agfa-Gevaert Group reports its results. The numbers from sales to EBITDA present the Agfa-Gevaert Group with Offset Solutions excluded, but with a new division called 'Contractor Operations & Services former Offset' or 'CONOPS'. CONOPS represents the supply of film and chemicals as well as a set of support services delivered by Agfa to the external party ECO3. The turnover represents the supply agreements, with corresponding COGS charges. The income related to the support services will be accounted for as Other Income, while the costs related to those support services are represented in the different SG&A lines. The comparative period Q2 '22 has been re-presented accordingly. As per IFRS 5, stranded costs related to Offset Solutions have been treated differently in 2023 vs 2022. In Q2 '22 stranded costs are reported under CONOPS. In Q2 '23 these are absorbed by the 3 business divisions.
