Sofia / Munich, 15 August 2022 Allterco JSCo (ticker A4L / ISIN: BG1100003166) ("Allterco"), a provider of IoT and smart home products based in Sofia, Bulgaria, further accelerated sales growth in H1/22. Growth continued to be driven by energymeters, while sales of MyKi tracking devices recovered further.

Allterco achieved a 29.8% increase in consolidated operating revenues to BGN 37.4 million (EUR 19.1 million)* in H1/22 which reflects the deconsolidation of the Asian telco business sold in September 2021. Adjusted for the deconsolidation, consolidated operating revenues showed a plus of 40.3%. Revenue from sale of goods and productions amounted to BGN 35.7 million (EUR 18.3 million)*, representing a plus of 36.5%. Operating earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) adjusted for negative special effect from write-off of a receivable increased by 4.7% to BGN 8.8 million (EUR 4.5 million)* despite targeted increased investments in sales and R&D structures. Net profit at the Group level stood at BGN 6.3 million (EUR 3.2 million)* compared to BGN 6.9 million (EUR 3.2 million)* in the prior-year period, mainly impacted by the negative special effect from the write-off of a receivable.

With an equity ratio of 89.8% as of 30 June 2022, Allterco enjoys a solid balance sheet (31 December 2021: 90.6%). Here, in addition to the unappropriated profit, the reduction in trade payables by 66.8% to BGN 0.5 million (EUR 0.3 million)* was particularly noticeable while inventories increased by 50.5% to BGN 11.4 million (EUR 5.8 million)*.

Cash flow from operating activities with a cash outflow of BGN 3.2 million (EUR 1.6 million)* compared to a cash inflow of BGN 4.0 million (EUR 2.0 million) in H1/21 reflects in particular advance payments to suppliers to proactively address potential delays in the supply chains. Cash and cash equivalents decreased accordingly to BGN 28.2 million (EUR 14.4 million)* as of 30 June 2022 compared to BGN 30.0 million (EUR 15.3 million) as of 31 December 2021, providing a sufficient basis for financing further growth.

For the full year 2022, the management confirms the guidance of an increase in revenues from the sale of goods and production by up to 43.0% to approximately EUR 43.5 million (2021: EUR 30.4 million). After investments in the expansion of business activities, earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) in 2022 are expected to be at the level of the previous year of approximately EUR 9.6 million (2021: EUR 9.6 million).

Dimitar Dimitrov, Co-CEO of Allterco JSCo, explained on product development: Demand for our products accelerated further in the course of the first half of 2022. Our energy consumption meters are particularly sought after. In addition, we started shipping the Pro devices at the end of Q2.

In Germany, one of our most important markets, we achieved the planned personnel strength for the time being.
