    The Agfa-Gevaert Group in Q3 2024: stable sales, adjusted EBITDA at 15 million euro

    The Agfa-Gevaert Group posted double-digit revenue growth and a strong profitability step up in Digital Printing and Chemicals, and a significant increase in order intake in HealthCare IT, with a high share of cloud-based and net new customer contracts. This was counterbalanced by an accelerated market decline in traditional film activities. The 50 million euro savings program to align the cost base with the accelerated market decline of the film-related business is in full preparation. Savings will start to materialize in the second half of 2025, with the full potential to be realized in 2027.

    • HealthCare IT: good traction in transitioning to cloud-enabled Enterprise Imaging
      • 23% increase in the 12 months rolling order intake versus the year before, 45% cloud-related contracts in Q3, 57% net new customer contracts in Q3
      • On track with transition to cloud technology
      • First go-live of cloud-based Enterprise Imaging platform
    • Digital Print & Chemicals: growth engines power profitability
      • Continuous double-digit top line growth, driven by Green Hydrogen Solutions and Digital Printing Solutions
      • Adjusted EBITDA doubled versus third quarter of 2023, reaching 8% of revenue
      • First SpeedSet Orca 1060 packaging printer at customer site in the UK up and running
    • Radiology Solutions: acceleration of global market decline for medical film
      • Medical film: volumes followed accelerated decline of the market
      • Direct Radiography realized 9% top line increase, partly driven by pick-up in North America

    Mortsel (Belgium), November 14, 2024 – 7:45 a.m. CET – Agfa-Gevaert today commented on its results in the third quarter of 2024.
    “I am pleased with the evolution of our growth engines. The Digital Print & Chemicals division reported double-digit top line growth and doubled its adjusted EBITDA, driven by Digital Print Solutions and Green Hydrogen Solutions. HealthCare IT’s order intake is growing strongly, powered by our cloud solutions attracting net new customers. Our first go-live of our cloud-based Enterprise Imaging platform was a full success, demonstrating the robustness of our solutions. Having a reference site will add to the momentum we are seeing for this technology. Finally, the plan to adjust the cost base of our traditional film activities to the reality in the market is on track. We expect that this self-funding program will allow us to reduce the cost base of these activities by 50 million euro by the end of 2027. The first savings will start to materialize in the second half of 2025,” said Pascal Juéry, President and CEO of the Agfa-Gevaert Group.

    Third quarter

    • Compared to the third quarter of 2023, the Group’s revenue remained stable, with a markedly strong performance of Digital Printing Solutions and Green Hydrogen Solutions. As expected, HealthCare IT reported lower sales due to the market transition to cloud technology. The traditional film activities were under pressure from the declining medical film markets.
    • Mainly due to the lower fixed cost coverage in the traditional film activities, the Group’s gross profit margin decreased slightly to 29.5% of revenue.
    • Adjusted EBITDA evolved to 15 million euro (5.5% of revenue).
    • Adjustments and restructuring expenses resulted in a charge of 3 million euro versus 5 million euro in the third quarter of 2023.
    • The net finance costs amounted to 7 million euro.
    • Income tax expenses were at 7 million euro versus 6 million euro in the previous year.
    • The Agfa-Gevaert Group posted a net loss of 13 million euro.

    Financial position and cash flow

    • Net financial debt (including IFRS 16) evolved from 99 million euro in Q2 2024 to 118 million euro.
    • Despite 15 million euro impact from freight issues in the Middle East and the higher silver price, working capital remained stable at 33% of revenue in Q3 2024, in line with the seasonality of the business. In absolute numbers, working capital evolved from 371 million euro at the end of Q3 2023 to 374 million euro. Following the seasonality, working capital is expected to trend down in the fourth quarter.
    • In the third quarter of 2024, the Group generated a free cash flow of minus 6 million euro.

    Outlook
    In 2024, the Agfa-Gevaert Group expects a continuation of the trends seen in the previous year.

    2024 outlook per division:

    • HealthCare IT: The division’s performance is expected to be roughly in line with that of last year. For the full year, the division expects the increase in the 12 months rolling order intake to be slightly above 20%.
    • Digital Print & Chemicals: The division expects continued strong growth in top line and profitability, driven by Digital Printing Solutions and Green Hydrogen Solutions.
    • Radiology Solutions: No improvement versus the third quarter of 2024 is expected.

    The working capital situation is expected to trend downward by the end of 2024.

    The outstanding receivable in connection with the sale of the Offset Solutions division to Aurelius Group is still partly under discussion. The issue has been submitted to an independent expert, who will have to establish the final purchase price.

    The program to adjust the cost base of the film-related activities to the reality in the market is on track. Overall, the program is expected to be cash accretive. It is expected to reduce the cost base by 50 million euro by the end of 2027 and the first savings are expected to materialize in the second half of 2025. On November 14, the intention to reorganize the film-related business was presented to the social partners in Belgium at an Extraordinary Works Council meeting. If the intended plan would be executed, this would impact up to 530 employees in Belgium.

    Third quarter

    • Continuing the trend of the previous quarter, and mainly based on cloud-related contracts, HealthCare IT recorded a 23% increase in the 12 months rolling order intake starting from 125 million euro the year before to 154 million euro. 45% of total Q3 order intake is cloud-related. Net new customers represent 57% of total Q3 order intake. In Q3, 56% of total order intake is related to project contracts and 44% to recurring revenue contracts.
    • The division’s top line decreased by 3.9% versus the third quarter of 2023 due to the market transition to cloud technology. As an increasing share of total order intake is related to recurring revenue, the high order intake will not immediately translate in higher sales in the coming quarters.
    • Mainly due to product/mix effects, HealthCare IT’s gross profit margin decreased slightly from 48.2% in the third quarter of 2023 to 47.0%. The adjusted EBITDA margin evolved from 14.0% to 10.9%.
    • First successful go-live of the cloud-based Enterprise Imaging Platform at Tampa General Hospital North (USA).
    • In recent months, the division has secured several new Enterprise Imaging contracts with leading healthcare organizations worldwide.
      • In the United States, multiple luminary healthcare institutions have recently adopted Agfa HealthCare’s solutions with most of these net new wins centered around cloud-based offerings. This trend underscores the increasing shift towards Cloud technology and reinforces the momentum of Agfa’s Enterprise Imaging Cloud, first introduced at RSNA 2023. Notable new Integrated Delivery Networks include Englewood Health and Self-Regional Hospital, representing a significant expansion of Agfa’s presence in the US market.
      • In the UK, Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust selected Agfa HealthCare’s next-generation Enterprise Imaging to replace its existing Radiology Information System (RIS) across five sites. Additionally, Agfa’s Business Intelligence tools will support the Trust’s reporting, regulatory, and audit needs.
      • In Greece, the government has chosen Agfa HealthCare’s Enterprise Imaging solution for deployment across 37 public hospitals, covering two key health regions.
      • Agfa HealthCare also secured a pivotal 5-year agreement with SingHealth, Singapore’s leading healthcare network, for the implementation of its Enterprise Imaging solution.

    Third quarter
    Division performance

    • The Digital Print & Chemicals division’s top line grew by 11.0%, mainly driven by continued growth for Green Hydrogen Solutions (+15%) and Digital Printing Solutions (+19%).
    • Despite the rising silver cost, the division’s gross profit margin remained almost stable at 27.8% of revenue.

    The division’s adjusted EBITDA margin increased strongly from 4.3% in the third quarter of 2023 to 8.0%.

    Digital Printing Solutions

    • Showing the success of the growth strategy for these activities, the Digital Printing Solutions business’ top line grew by 19% versus the third quarter of 2023. Based on recent product launches and on the global strategic partnership between Agfa and EFI for digital printing equipment, Agfa expects to build further momentum with its digital printing portfolio in the next quarters.
    • Ink top line grew by 10%, also driven by the ongoing program to convert former Inca customers to Agfa’s ink sets.
    • First water-based SpeedSet Orca 1060 packaging printer at customer site in the UK is now up and running.
    • First installation of the new Jeti Bronco H3300 3.3 m high-end UV LED inkjet printer.
    • World debut of new digital printing solutions at PRINTING United Expo in Las Vegas:
      • Jeti Tauro H3300 UHS with MAX Bots: Already known for its high-speed output, the Tauro H3300 UHS hybrid large-format inkjet press now integrates robotic automation to further increase productivity.
      • Onset Grizzly X3 HS with New Autoloader: Designed for high-volume graphics and packaging jobs, this advanced autoloader with a six-second cycle time keeps pace with the Grizzly flatbed inkjet press’ top speed of 1450 m²/h.
    • Agfa recently secured four Pinnacle Product Awards with its printing equipment, automation equipment and ink sets. Presented by PRINTING United Alliance, the Pinnacle Product Awards celebrate outstanding products that drive advancements in quality, capability, and productivity within the printing industry.

    Green Hydrogen Solutions

    • ZIRFON sales grew by 15% versus the third quarter of 2023.
    • The establishment of a new industrial-scale ZIRFON production plant in Mortsel, Belgium is on track. In September, a new ZIRFON lab was taken into operation in Mortsel.
    • Agfa continued to expand its customer base based on the rising interest in Asia, resulting in a first major customer in India.
    • Market developments have been growing slower globally in the last 12 months due to delaying of Final Investment Decisions at customers. However, these delayed implementations are included in Agfa’s business plan.

    Third quarter

    • Volumes of Agfa’s medical film business followed the declining market trends. Market shares for this business remain stable.
    • The Direct Radiography business posted a 9% top line increase, partly driven by the pick-up of the business in North America. In Europe, consolidation exercises in healthcare groups are leading to postponed investment plans, while a further trend toward big tenders is increasing the fluctuations between quarters.
    • Agfa continues to innovate its DR solutions. In the third quarter, the company expanded its Dura-line family of robust, reliable and cost-effective wireless DR flat panel detectors, with the glass-free and high-resolution Dura-line XF+ range.
    • Agfa expanded its leading MUSICA image processing solution with a new gridline suppression tool that helps improve the quality of medical images.
    • The division’s third quarter profitability was negatively impacted by the volume decrease and costs related to manufacturing inefficiencies. This was partly offset by measures to control costs and to streamline the business. The division’s gross profit margin decreased from 29.4% of revenue in the third quarter of 2023 to 26.8%. The adjusted EBITDA margin decreased from 7.0% of revenue in Q3 2023 to 4.0%.
    • The above mentioned program to structurally reduce the cost base of Agfa’s film business is expected to deliver its first results as from the second half of 2025.
    • As part of its plans to review the footprint of its Computed Radiography (CR) production facilities, Agfa announced to stop the production and assembly of CR plates and cassettes at its Schrobenhausen site in Germany, resulting in the closure of this facility.
