3 Management s review Growth in revenue and profit in first half Revenue of DKK 270.0m was posted for H1 against DKK 224.6m in H1 2010, corresponding to growth of 20%. The growth is primarily attributable to the Telecom and Domestic ventilation business areas which both realised a growth in revenue of about 60%. In Q2 2011, total revenue was up 19% relative to the prior-year period, and revenue for the quarter was the highest on record since The group returned an operating profit (EBIT) for the first half of 2011 of DKK 8.8m against a profit of DKK 0.6m for the first six months of An operating profit of DKK 6.5m was returned for Q against DKK 2.9m for the same period in The improvement is primarily attributable to the increase in revenue. As part of the growth strategy adopted, the sales and development force has been expanded, and staff costs are therefore approx. DKK 5m higher than for the first half of In both Q2 and H1 2011, net finance costs were approx. 30% lower than in the same period last year, which is primarily attributable to lower finance costs due to reduced debt and foreign currency translation adjustments. The ownership share in Dantherm Power (38%) has not impacted results for H as Dantherm s stake in the company was written down to 0 at the end of In H1 and Q2 2010, results were negatively impacted by Dantherm Power by DKK 11.1m and DKK 8.1m, respectively. In H1 2011, Dantherm contributed funding in the form of a convertible loan of DKK 7.0m to the company, entered in the balance sheet under non-current assets. The results for H were not affected by discontinuing activities, which comprise Stelectric Ejendomme A/S only. In H1 2010, a profit of DKK 3.8m was returned from discontinuing activities. A consolidated net profit of DKK 1.4m was returned for H1 2011, representing an improvement of DKK 19.3m compared to the same period last year. The group posted a net profit of DKK 2.7m for Q against a net profit of DKK 0.8m for the prior-year period. Telecom Activities within the Telecom business area are handled by companies in Denmark, China, the USA, Norway and Sweden. Telecom activities comprise sales to network suppliers and network operators. In H1 2011, Telecom revenue was up 68% relative to the same period of Market developments within Telecom are positive and characterised by growth in the number of mobile subscribers, especially in Asia, as well as increased data transmission, leading to an increased demand for air handling in radio base stations. In line with the adopted strategy, Dantherm has improved its market position with several of the global network suppliers, while also increasing sales to network operators in selected geographical markets. With a view to maintaining and expanding this market position, development activities have been intensified, and the organisation has been strengthened, especially in China and the USA Interim report 1 January - 30 June 2011 Page 3 of 11

4 HVAC Activities within HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning) are handled by the companies in Denmark, Norway and the UK, with the Danish company handling most of the activities. HVAC comprises the business areas Defence, Dehumidification, DanX Ventilation and Domestic ventilation. HVAC revenue for H was 9% lower than for the same period last year. Sales are primarily in Europe and are affected by general market developments. The decline in revenue is primarily attributable to the business area Defence, with sales being dependent on public investments which have been reduced due to cutbacks in most European countries. With a view to developing the company s market position, the focus is on developing energyefficient products, and the sales force has been expanded to cover more geographical areas. Within Domestic ventilation, a number of energy-efficient products have been developed believed to hold sound growth potential. In H1 2011, a 60% growth in revenue was realised relative to the same period of 2010, driven primarily by Germany and Denmark. Net interest-bearing debt and cash flows As at 30 June 2011, the group s net interest-bearing debt totalled DKK 194.2m against DKK 186.9m at the end of The interest-bearing debt includes finance lease commitments and mortgage debt of DKK 120.1m, while a net amount of DKK 74.1m has been drawn under the company s operating credit facilities. As at the end of June 2011, the group had cash resources of DKK 46m. In the management s opinion, this level of cash resources is sufficient to finance the group s operating activities and strategic development. In H1 2011, a positive cash flow from operating activities of DKK 2.8m was generated, whereas a negative cash flow of DKK -17.6m was generated for the same period of The positive cash flows are primarily attributable to improved earnings. In H1 2011, the cash flow from investing activities totalled DKK -10.2m against DKK -6.4m for the same period of As mentioned above, in H Dantherm extended a convertible loan of DKK 7.0m to Dantherm Power, which loan is included in the cash flow from investing activities. A sum of DKK 3.0m was granted in Q Investments in property, plant and equipment are generally expected to be at a low level in The cash flow from financing activities amounts to DKK -6.8m for the first six months of 2011 against DKK -50.7m for the same period last year. The negative cash flow stems from lease commitments and the repayment of mortgage debt. Implementation of capital reduction At Dantherm s general meeting on 13 April 2011, a decision was made to reduce the company s share capital with a nominal amount of DKK 287,622,960 from a nominal amount of DKK 359,528,700 to a nominal amount of DKK 71,905,740, of which a nominal amount of DKK 146,141,000 will be used to cover losses, while an amount of DKK 141,481,960 will be transferred to a special reserve, cf.
