INTERIM REPORT JANUARY 1
ST
, 2023 – JUNE 30
TH
, 2023 (H1 2023)
The H1 2023 report of the fiscal year was reviewed and approved at the Board of Directors meeting.

• The revenue for H1 2023 amounted to DKK 74,0 million (H1 2022: DKK 70,5 million), which is in line
with expectations.

been fully covered by increases in sales prices.

improved, however delays still cause less efficiency within the manufacturing area.

THE DEVELOPMENT IN H1 2023
Compared to H1 2022 the period of H1 2023 showed an
increase in revenue to DKK 74,0 million (H1 2022: DKK
70,5 million) equal to an increase of 5,0%.
Commercial efforts are ongoing, including strengthening
the organization, price adjustments, and production cost
reductions.
See note 3 (geographical distribution) for revenue figures
for the different regions.
Gross profit
Gross profit is at DKK 17,9 million in H1 2023 (H1 2022:
DKK 18,8 million). This is due to cost price increases on
i.e. mechanical parts, electronic components, electricity,
and gas which have not been fully covered by increased
sales prices towards the customers.
The gross profit margin was 24,2% in H1 2023 (H1 2022:
26,7%)
Development in EBITDA
Earnings before financial income and expenses, tax,
depreciation, and amortization EBITDA was at DKK 8,2
million in H1 2023 (H1 2022: DKK 8,6 million).
Operating profit (EBIT) was DKK 7,5 million in H1 2023
(H1 2022: DKK 6,2 million).
The net financial items represent a cost of DKK 2,2
million in H1 2023 (H1 2022: DKK 1,2 million). The
increase is mainly caused by the increased interest rates
during the first part of H1, 2023.
In H1 2023 tax for the period was calculated to DKK 1,2
million (H1 2022: DKK 1,0 million).
The profit for the period in H1 2023 was DKK 4,1 million
compared to DKK 4,0 million in H1 2022.

The balance sheet for the group amounted to DKK 231,6
million by the end of June 2023 compared to DKK 240,5
million by the end of the last financial year on December
31
st
, 2022. The decrease is mainly due to lower trade
receivables.
The equity increased in the period from DKK 98,4 million
to DKK 102,5 million mainly due to the positive result for
the first half year.
On June 30
th
, 2023, the equity ratio was 43,9% which is
an increase of 3,0% percentage points compared to
December 31
st

to 40,9%.
As in the previous years the activities in the Group have
not significantly been affected by seasonal fluctuations.
However, supply chain challenges during the past 1-2
years have led to challenges in planning of activities
which has continued to cause unusual high levels of
inventories during H1 2023.
Inventories amounted to DKK 55,9 million on June 30
th
,
2023 (2022: DKK 43,7 million). Trade receivables were
DKK 13,2 million on June 30

million). Trade payables were DKK 10,4 million on June
30
th
, 2023 (2022: DKK 14,0 million).
Net interest-bearing debt amounted to DKK 85,4 million
on June 30
th
, 2023, of which DKK 6,3 million referred to
IFRS 16 lease liabilities. On June 30
th
, 2022, net interest-
bearing debt amounted to DKK 80,6 million of which DKK
8,3 million referred to lease liabilities.
Cash flow

6,4 million in H1 2023 (H1 2022: DKK 7,4 million), net
