RIAS Annual Financiel Account Statement 2019/20

Announcement of full-year results 2019/20
The Board of RIAS A/S has today considered and approved the annual report for 2019/20, which includes the following information:
• Turnover was DKK 294.4 million, which is an increase of DKK 9 million. We note growth in the building & construction divi-
sion and in export, but a decline in the industry division. The Coronavirus pandemic is considered to be the primary reason
for this decline in the industry division. The processing area is developing as expected and at a higher level than last year.
• The balance sheet reflects our good overall market position in our most important markets, increasing activity in the building
& construction division and big investments in new production capacity and an extensive energy renovation.
• EBIT was DKK 11.5 million compared with DKK 9.7 million the year before.
• EBIT guidance for the financial year 2020/21 is in the range of DKK 8.5 – 10.0 million.
In a comment on the financial performance, CEO Henning Hess says: “The Coronavirus pandemic has set a new level of unpredictability,
unrest and uncertainty throughout the year. The very large societal consequences have also required a readiness for readjustment at a signi-
ficantly higher level than we have seen before.
We welcome the fact that the community’s strength and readiness for change have been the driving force in the necessary transition and in
creating a RIAS that, even in difficult conditions, has been able to deliver a good result. We can state that our strategy with the long haul
added a high degree of flexibility as a starting point is effective.
In addition to the influence by the Coronavirus, it has also been a busy time with the rebuilding of RIAS. New production facilities, aggregation
of storage capacity and optimization of our entire workflow have been on the agenda.
Strong focus on energy renovation and energy optimization has been an important factor in the rebuilding of RIAS to a double-digit million
amount. The new production hall has full heat recovery from the 24,000 cubic meters of air that are replaced per hour, and covers the hea-
ting of the building. LED lighting, the latest installations for electricity, IT, water and heating, bring us even further in the green transition and
reduce our CO2 emissions considerably.
On the technology side, the investment means that we now service the 3D print market in Scandinavia with the latest technology. At the same
time, the production has expanded with more high-precision cutters. This means that overall, we have some of the most advanced equipment
on the market.
We maintain the strategy for digital transformation, but increase the pace of execution and implementation. In the digital sales channels, the
CRM is now updated live, and the sales tools are optimized with our new Sales Support App - a cloud solution that supports salespeople with
live updating of customers, price agreements and inventories. It has been a great help in a market where the Coronavirus limits the physical
customer visits.
We are proud of the open-minded organization that has embraced this year’s high demands for changes without blinking, and has achieved
the best result in the last 15 years. ”
The annual report for 2019/20 can be read at www.rias.dk from 10th December 2020, and a printed version can also be requested from
the head office.
The annual general meeting will be held at the company’s address in Roskilde on Wednesday 27th January 2021 at 1 pm.

Sales outside Denmark amount to 15,3% of the company revenue. Sweden amount to 12,8%. All non-current assets are placed in Denmark.
2019/20 2018/19
The Group’s products are mainly sold to Danish customers. Sales are distributed on a large number of different products and customers.
One single customer accounts for more than 10% of total sales.
The operating segment consists of two sales departments for Building & Construction and Industry, respectively, which are supported by a
number of joint functions such as purchasing, logistics and production, and the purchased products are used for re-sale in both Industry and
Building & Construction. There are also a number of employees who carry out production and processing of products for both Industry and
Building & Construction, and this also applies to employees in the two sales offices. Based on this, Management has assessed that RIAS A/S
only has one operating segment. The Building & Construction Division primarily deals in finished plastic products, eg roof plates, thermo
roofs, etc. The Industry Division deals in semi-finished plastic products, eg tubes, plastic rods and processing of these.

Impairment test
Goodwill
The most material intangible asset is goodwill of DKK 53,085k, which is attributable to the acquisitions of the activities in Rodena A/S and Nor-
dic Plastic A/S.
Stock value is lower than book value and the management assess that this is due to low interest for the stock since the shares are mainly owned by
two bigger shareholders (thyssenkrupp and Small Cap).
At 30 September 2020, Management tested the carrying amount of goodwill for required write-down for impairment based on the allocation made
to the cash-generating unit of the cost of goodwill. In Management’s opinion, RIAS A/S has only one cash-generating unit, which is the legal entity.
The recoverable amount is based on the value in use determined by using expected net cash flows on the basis of approved budgets as well as substan-
tiated projections for the remaining period.
Key assumptions
Revenue estimate for the budget period is based on approved budget and forecast for the next three years based on Management’s experience and
expectations for the future. Revenue growth in the budget and forecast periods is in total an increase in revenue of 0.7% which will, among other
things, be achieved through our activities in Building division including Sweden, where we can see that the market is growing, and the development
in the processing department in the Industry division.
A growth rate of 1.8% is estimated for years 4 to 6, as well as a growth rate of 1.8% in the terminal period (2018/19: 2%). In Management’s as-
sessment this is a realistic level of growth for the building and construction market as well as the industrial sector, in which RIAS A/S is operating.
EBIT is estimated with a steady increase from the current level of DKK 9.8 million to DKK 16.2 million in the terminal period. The increase is attrib-
utable to increased sales, see above, and focus on product groups with higher gross profit and cost control, which are achieved through improved
utilisation of IT systems and focus on improved use of the Company’s resources.
A discount rate of 9.5% before tax (2018/19: 9.5%) and 7.8% after tax (2018/19: 7,8%) has been applied as, in Management’s assessment, this
is in line with the risk profile of RIAS A/S.
Sensitivity analysis
The difference between the calculated recoverable amount, DKK 212.9 million, and the carrying amount of equity, DKK 182.9 million, is DKK 29.9
million. In Management’s assessment, the discount rate after tax may increase to 8.99% before write-down for impairment is required, and Man-
agement is monitoring the development in the risk-free interest rate closely.
Another key assumption of the impairment test is our expectations for an increase in EBIT to DKK 16.3 million in the terminal period. EBIT may de-
crease to DKK 12.9 million in the terminal period before write-down for impairment is required. Due to the fact that expected future cash flows are
based on an estimate, the impairment test is inherently subject to uncertainty.

Share capital
The Company’s share capital of DKK 23,063k is distributed on DKK 3,125k A-shares and DKK 19,938k B-shares. The share capital is fully paid up.
The A-shares, which are non-negotiable, carry 10 votes per DKK 100 share, see clause 11 of the articles of association.
The B-shares, which are negotiable, carry 1 vote per DKK 100 share, see clause 11 of the articles of association.
Capital management
RIAS A/S assesses on a current basis the need to adjust the capital structure to balance the high requirements to return on equity against the increased
uncertainty related to loan capital. The equity share of total assets was 69% at 30 September 2020 (30 September 19: 76%). The solvency target
has been lowered to 65-75% due to the implementation of IFRS 16 and the effect it has on total assets.
The target for return on equity is 6-8%. Realised return on equity before tax was 6,5% in 2019/20 (2018/19: 5,6%).
It is RIAS A/S’s dividend policy that the shareholders should earn a return on their investments in the form of price increases and dividend which
exceed a risk-free bond investment. Payment of dividend should be made with consideration to the required consolidation of equity as basis for the
Company’s continued expansion.
Dividend
Dividend of DKK 5,766k (2018/19: DKK 5,766k) is proposed, corresponding to dividend per share of DKK 25 (2018/19: DKK 25).
On 29 January 2020, RIAS A/S paid dividend to its shareholders of DKK 5,766 k (2018/19: DKK 5,766k), corresponding to dividend per share
of DKK 25 (2018/19: DKK 25).
The distribution of dividend to the shareholders of RIAS A/S has no tax consequences for RIAS A/S.

Financial risks
The Company does not speculate in financial risks, and the Company’s management of such exposures focuses exclusively on managing financial
risks that are a direct consequence of the Company’s operations and financing.
Credit risks
The Company’s credit risks relate to trade receivables which arise when the Company carries through sales in respect of which prepayments are
not received. The Company’s policy for assuming credit risks implies that all customers are credit rated upon creation and on a current basis. If
the credit rating of the customer is not satisfactory, separate security in respect of the sale is required. The primary instrument to hedge unsecure
payments is to take out credit insurance which covers up to 90% of the total receivable exclusive of VAT. Credit insurance is taken out with COFACE
credit insurance. If credit insurance cannot be taken out in respect of a customer, the customer is carefully assessed based on internal credit limits,
or prepayment is requested.
The management of the credit exposure is based on internal customer credit limits. The credit limits are determined on the basis of the creditworthi-
ness of the customers with consideration to the current market situation.
Provisions for bad debts are made to the extent necessary. Page 33
The company has deposit above state warranty and therefore there is a credit risk of DKK 33,469k.
Only banks with low risk are being used. Risk evaluation is based on Standard & Poors rating.
