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 half of 2019, calculated with the same accounting principles used in 2018, would have amounted to 154.6 million euro.

Operating income (EBIT) was not significantly affected by IFR16 adoption: it amounted to 128.3 million euro (18.2% on sales) compared to 121.7 million euro (18.9% on sales) in the first half of 2018, an increase of 5.4%.

Consolidated Net Profit for the first half of 2019 was 92.2 million euro (was 94.3 million euro in H1 2018, including 11.6 million euro in one-off earnings resulting from the GS-Hydro acquisition). The increase versus the normalized result for last year is +11.6%.

Basic earnings per share rose from 0.766 euro (normalized) in the first half of 2018 to 0.867 euro in the first half of 2019, with a 13.2% increase.

Net cash flow from operating activities was 144.2 million euro (113.7 million euro in H1 2018), with a 26.9% increase. Free cash flow in the first half of 2019 amounted to 39.2 million euro (35.8 million euro in the same period last year).

Net debt was 391.0 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 June the Group had commitments for the acquisition of stakes in subsidiaries for a total of 40.2 million euro (44.5 million euro at 31/12/2018).

Capital employed rose from 1,200.1 million euro at 31 December 2018 to 1,357.7 million euro at 30 June 2019, following the acquisition of Hydra Dyne Tech, the IFRS16-related adjustment, and the seasonal increase in net working capital. Non-annualized ROCE was 9.4% (compared to 10.6% in H1 2018). Non-annualized ROE was 10.0% (from the normalized 10.2% in H1 2018).

At 30 June 2019 Interpump Group S.p.A. had 3,903,489 treasury shares in its portfolio, representing 3.585% of total share capital, purchased at an average cost of 21.8740.
