Effective from 1 January 2019 the Group has adopted IFRS16, which changed the accounting of operating leases to the same rules used for financial leases. EBITDA for the first nine months of 2019, calculated with the same accounting principles used in 2018, would have amounted to 228.8 million euro.

Operating income (EBIT) was not significantly affected by IFRS16 adoption: it amounted to 189.1 million euro (18.4% on sales) compared to 182.1 million euro (19.1% on sales) in the first nine months of 2018, an increase of 3.8%.

Consolidated Net Profit for the first nine months was 135.5 million euro (was 137.3 million euro in 9M 2018, including 11.9 million euro in one-off earnings resulting from the GS-Hydro acquisition). The increase versus the normalized result for last year is +8.1%.

Basic earnings per share rose from 1.166 euro (normalized) in the first nine months of 2018 to 1.280 euro in the first nine months of 2019, with a 9.8% increase.

Net cash flow from operating activities was 195.3 million euro (176.1 million euro in 9M 2018), with a 10.9% increase. Free cash flow in the first nine months of 2019 amounted to 76.0 million euro (66.1 million euro in the same period last year).

Net debt was 382.9 million euro (287,3 million euro at 31 December 2018). Most of the change is due to the adoption of IFRS 16, which involved an initial adjustment of 68.4 million euro as at 1 January 2019, corresponding to the current value of future leasing payments for the whole duration of outstanding contracts.

Additionally, at the end of September the Group had commitments for the acquisition of stakes in subsidiaries for a total of 40.4 million euro (44.5 million euro at 31/12/2018).

Capital employed rose from 1,200.1 million euro at 31 December 2018 to 1,375.3 million euro at 30 September 2019, following the acquisition of Hydra Dyne Tech, the IFRS16-related adjustment, and the increase in net working capital resulting from growth of sales. Non-annualizedROCE was 13.7% (compared to 15.6% in 9M 2018). Non-annualizedROE was 14.2% (from the normalized 15.0% in 9M 2018).

At 30 September 2019 Interpump Group S.p.A. had 4,931,314 treasury shares in its portfolio, representing 4.529% of total share capital, purchased at an average cost of € 23.12.

Organic growth, at unchanged perimeter and before the currency exchange, was -2.0% in Hydraulics, +2.5% in Water-Jetting, and -0.4% in total sales. Thanks to a +1.4% contribution from the currency exchangem, organic growth expressed in euro was +1.0%.

The "Rest of the World" area was strongly penalized by the unforeseeable - but now widely known - situation of the economy in India, where quarterly sales suffered from a sharp drop (equivalent to approximately 5.5 million euro). Excluding India, sales in the quarter registered positive growth in both Hydraulics and total, despite the exceptionally tough comparison base represented by Q3 2018.

However, Interpump believes the development perspectives for its business in India remain intact.

EBITDA amounted to 78.1 million euro (24.2% of sales) compared to 73.0 million euro in the third quarter of 2018 (23.5% of sales), an increase of 7.1%. EBITDA for the third quarter of 2019, calculated with the same accounting principles used in 2018, would have amounted to 74.2 million euro.

Consolidated Net Profit for the third quarter of 2019 was 43.3 million euro, an increase of 0.7% with respect to Q3 2018.

Basic earnings per share rose from 0.402 euro in the third quarter of 2018 to 0.411 euro in the third quarter of 2019.
