INTERIM REPORT APRIL 1
ST
, 2022 – SEPTEMBER 30
TH
, 2022 (H1 2022)
The H1 2022 report of the fiscal year was reviewed and approved at the Board of Directors meeting.
Highlights
• The revenue for H1 2022 amounted to DKK 69,5 million (2021/22: DKK 67,5 million), which is in line
with expectations.
• The gross profit amounted to DKK 18,7 million in H1 2022 (2021/22: DKK 20,5 million), the gross profit
margin was 26,9% (2021/22:30,4%)
o The margin decline compared to last year relates to higher prices due to inflation on i.e.
mechanical parts, electronic components, electricity, and gas. The price increases have not
been fully covered by increases in sales prices.
o The challenges of securing especially electronic components and materials on time have
increased, which has caused less efficiency within the manufacturing area.
• The guidance includes a positive fair value adjustment on the investment property in Selandia Park at
DKK 6 million. The adjustment is based on the renewed rental agreements and the significant rent
increase driven by the higher inflation.
• EBITDA for the period was DKK 8,3 million (2021/22: DKK 11,3 million.)
• Profit before tax for the period H1 2022 was DKK 6,5 million (2021/22: DKK 6,7 million), corresponding
to a result per share (EPS) at 2,8 DKK (2021/22: 2,9 DKK).
Guidance for full year 2022
The supply chain challenges – as mentioned above - on mechanical parts and electronic components have
led to a postponement in recognized revenue. In view of this development – and due to the fair value impact
of the investment property in Selandia Park - the company has reassessed the guidance for the full year 2022
(9 months).
Glunz & Jensen revises its full year guidance for 2022 to DKK 100-105 million in revenue (previous guidance
112-117), and the profit before financial income and expenses, tax, depreciation, and amortization EBITDA to
approx. 17-20 (previously DKK 13-18 million). The profit before tax is expected at approx. DKK 15-17 million
(previously DKK 10-14 million level).

Management underlines that the guidance for the fiscal year 2022 is associated with a substantial uncertainty
as the economy hence industrial supply and demand is heavily impacted by supply shortages, high inflation,
and general financial instability. This outlook assumes that demand and delivery is not significantly affected by
another wave of COVID-19 outbreak.

THE DEVELOPMENT IN H1 2022
Compared to H1 2021/22 the period of H1 2022 showed
an increase in revenue to DKK 69,5 million (2021/22:
DKK 67,5 million) equal to an increase of 3,0%.
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 18,7 million in H1 2022 (2021/22:
DKK 20,5 million). This is due to 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 26,9% in H1 2022 (2021/22:
30,4%)
The challenges of securing parts and materials on time
have increased and have caused less efficiency within
the production area.
Development in EBITDA
Earnings before financial income and expenses, tax,
depreciation, and amortization EBITDA was at DKK 8,3
million in H1 2022 (2021/22: DKK 11,3 million).
Operating profit (EBIT) was DKK 7,6 million in H1 2022
(2021/22: DKK 8,4 million).
The net financial items represent a cost of DKK 1,1
million in H1 2022 (2021/22: DKK 1,7 million). The
decrease is mainly caused by lower interest-bearing debt
and lower financing cost during the first part of H1, 2022.
In H1 2022 tax for the period was calculated to DKK 1,4
million (2021/22: DKK 1,5 million).
The profit for the period in H1 2022 was DKK 5,1 million
compared to DKK 5,2 million in H1 2021/22.
Balance sheet
The balance sheet for the group amounted to DKK 224,1
million by the end of September 2022 compared to DKK
220,2 million by the end of the last financial year on
March 31
st
, 2022. The increase is mainly due to higher
inventories partly absorbed by a decline in the trade
receivables.
The equity increased in the period from DKK 86,3 million
to DKK 91,9 million mainly due to the positive result for
the first half year.
On September 30
th
, 2022, the equity solvency was 41,0%
which is an increase of 1,8% percentage points
compared to March 31
st
, 2022, where the equity
solvency amounted to 39,2%.
As in the previous years the activities in the Group have
not significantly been affected by seasonal fluctuations.
However, supply chain challenges have led to
challenges in planning of activities which has caused
unusual high levels of inventories.
Inventories amounted to DKK 51,1 million on September
30
th
, 2022 (2021/22: DKK 41,7 million). The increase in
inventory is due to the increasing challenges in timely
receipt of parts due to supply chain challenges. Trade
receivables were DKK 14,7 million on September 30
th
,
2022 (2021/22: DKK 17,8 million). Trade payables were
DKK 14,6 million on September 30
th
, 2022 (2021/22:
DKK 12,3 million).
Net interest-bearing debt amounted to DKK 86,3 million
on September 30
th
, 2022, of which DKK 6,5 million
referred to IFRS 16 lease liabilities. On September 30
th
,
2021, net interest-bearing debt amounted to DKK 88,8
million of which DKK 7,7 million referred to lease
liabilities.

-5,0 million in H1 2022 (2021/22: DKK 9,2 million), net
cash flow from investing activities were DKK -0,5 million
(2021/22: DKK -0,4 million) and the free cash flow was
negative by DKK 5,5 million compared to a positive free
cash flow of DKK 8,8 million in H1 2021/22.

covenants based on solvency, EBITDA and loan to value
for the prepress segment in Glunz & Jensen. The
covenants were calculated by September 30th, 2022.
The company is complying with the financial covenants
by September 30th, 2022.
Events after the balance sheet date
No significant events, which are deemed to have a
significant impact on the Group’s financial position, have
occurred since September 30
th
, 2022
Outlook for 2022
The supply chain challenges – as mentioned above - on
mechanical parts and electronic components have led to
a postponement in recognized revenue. In view of this
development – and due to the fair value impact of the
investment property in Selandia Park - the company has
reassessed the guidance for the full year 2022 (9
months).
Glunz & Jensen revises its full year guidance for 2022 to
DKK 100-105 million in revenue (previous guidance 112-
117), and the profit before financial income and
expenses, tax, depreciation, and amortization EBITDA to
approx. 17-20 (previously DKK 13-18 million). The profit
before tax is expected at approx. DKK 15-17 million
(previously DKK 10-14 million level).
Management underlines that the guidance for the fiscal
year 2022 is associated with a substantial uncertainty as
economies – and hence industrial supply and demand –

are heavily impacted by supply shortages, high inflation,
and general financial instability. This outlook assumes
that demand and delivery is not significantly affected by
another wave of COVID-19 outbreak.
