voxeljet AG Reports Financial Results for the Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2020

​

Friedberg, Germany, August 13, 2020 — voxeljet AG (NYSE: VJET) (the “Company”, or “voxeljet”), a leading provider of high-speed, large-format 3D printers and on-demand parts services to industrial and commercial customers, today announced consolidated financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020.

​

Highlights - Second Quarter 2020 compared to the Second Quarter 2019

​

​

Dr. Ingo Ederer, Chief Executive Officer of voxeljet, commented, “Earlier this year, we received one of our largest individual Services orders for 3D printed parts from a supplier to a leading US electric car maker. Then COVID-19 came and we really felt the impact since February until today. In June, we successfully improved our cash position by expanding our partnership with the European Investment Bank. When we look ahead, we are encouraged by a positive sales trend during the last weeks and we are optimistic that this trend continues during the second half of 2020 and beyond. We are making progress in our project with a leading German car maker for additive series production and received the order for an additional VJET X high-speed 3D printer last week.”

​

Three Months Ended June 30, 2020 Results

​

Revenues for the second quarter of 2020 decreased by 22.5% to kEUR 3,916 compared to kEUR 5,050 in the second quarter of 2019.

​

Revenues from our Systems segment, which focuses on the development, production and sale of 3D printers, decreased 12.1% to kEUR 1,871 in the second quarter of 2020 from kEUR 2,129 in last year’s second quarter. The Company delivered two new 3D printers in the second quarter of 2020 as well as in last year’s second quarter. Revenue from the sale of 3D printers was essentially flat. Systems revenues also include all Systems-related revenues from consumables, spare parts and maintenance. Those Systems-related revenues decreased in the second quarter year over year, which reflects the economic slow-down mainly due to the ongoing global pandemic of COVID-19 disease (“the COVID-19 situation”). As our clients have reduced their production activities, the demand for consumables and spare parts decreased. In addition, our ability to perform service and maintenance visits has been limited due to shutdowns and restrictions caused by the COVID-19 situation. Systems revenues represented 47.8% of total revenues in the second quarter of 2020 compared to 42.2% in last year’s second quarter.

​

Revenues from our Services segment, which focuses on the printing of on-demand parts for our customers, decreased 30.0% to kEUR 2,045 in the second quarter of 2020 from kEUR 2,921 in the comparative period of 2019. This was mainly due to lower revenue contributions from our subsidiary voxeljet America Inc. (“voxeljet America”) as well as from the German operation, related to the COVID-19 situation leading to a significant decrease in demand from our clients. Revenue contribution from our subsidiary voxeljet UK Ltd. (“voxeljet UK”) significantly decreased. This was related to the close down of our service center in the United Kingdom in the fourth quarter of 2019 in the course of our restructuring, which started in the third quarter of 2019. In contrast to this, revenue contributions from our subsidiary voxeljet China Co. Ltd. (“voxeljet China”) slightly increased, showing, that the adverse impacts from the COVID-19 situation may have begun to reverse in certain parts of the world.

​

Cost of sales were kEUR 2,901 for the second quarter of 2020 compared to kEUR 3,524 for the second quarter of 2019.

​

Gross profit and gross profit margin were kEUR 1,015 and 25.9%, respectively, in the second quarter of 2020 compared to kEUR 1,526 and 30.2% in the second quarter of 2019.

​

Gross profit for our Systems segment slightly increased to kEUR 619 in the second quarter of 2020 from kEUR 531 in the second quarter of 2019. Gross profit margin for this segment increased to 33.1% in the second quarter of 2020 compared to 24.9% in the second quarter of 2019. Both, gross profit and gross profit margin from the sale of 3D printers as well as from Systems-related revenues slightly increased due to the product mix.

​

Gross profit for our Services segment decreased to kEUR 396 in the second quarter of 2020 compared to kEUR 995 in the second quarter of 2019. Also, the gross profit margin for this segment decreased to 19.4% in the second quarter of 2020 from 34.1% in the second quarter of 2019. This was mainly related to lower gross profit as well as gross profit margin contribution as a result of lower utilization inline with the decrease in revenues from our American and German service center. Gross profit as well as gross profit margin contribution from voxeljet China slightly increased quarter over quarter.

​

Selling expenses were kEUR 1,305 for the second quarter of 2020 compared to kEUR 1,762 in the second quarter of 2019. The decrease was due to lower distribution expenses in line with the decrease in revenues. Shipping and packaging expenses were a main driver of the selling expenses and can vary from quarter to quarter depending on quantity and types of products sold, as well as the destinations of where those goods are being delivered.

​

Administrative expenses were kEUR 1,841 for the second quarter of 2020 compared to kEUR 1,585 in the second quarter of 2019. The increase was mainly due to higher unexpected advisor fees also related to the Audit Committee Investigation as previously disclosed in the Company’s SEC filings.

​

Research and development (“R&D”) expenses decreased to kEUR 1,620 in the second quarter of 2020 from kEUR 1,702 in the second quarter of 2019. The decrease of kEUR 82 was mainly due to lower personnel expenses as well as lower depreciation expenses partially offset by higher material consumption.

​

Other operating expenses in the second quarter of 2020 were kEUR 709 compared to kEUR 818 in the prior year period. This was mainly due to lower losses from foreign currency transactions of kEUR 688 for the second quarter of 2020 compared to kEUR 813 for the second quarter of 2019.

​

Other operating income was kEUR 503 for the second quarter of 2020 compared to kEUR 148 in the second quarter of 2019. The increase was mainly due to the government grant received by voxeljet America in April 2020 from the United States Small Business Administration (“SBA”) under the COVID-19 funding program amounting to kUSD 325. The full amount was recognised in profit and loss, in the second quarter of 2020, as the related costs for which the grant is intended to compensate, occurred in this period and we assume, that we comply with the conditions of the funding. The assessment of SBA whether we are in compliance with the conditions, has not been performed yet. In addition, gains from foreign currency transactions increased to kEUR 63 for the second quarter of 2020, compared to kEUR 28 in the last year’s second quarter.

​

The changes in foreign currency losses and gains were primarily driven by the valuation of the intercompany loans granted by the parent company to our UK and US subsidiaries.

​

Operating loss was kEUR 3,957 in the second quarter of 2020, compared to an operating loss of kEUR 4,193 in the comparative period in 2019. In spite of the significant decrease in gross profit and higher administrative expenses, operating loss improved. This was mainly due to the decrease in selling expenses as well as a lower negative net impact from other operating expenses and other operating income amounting to kEUR 206 in the second quarter of 2020 compared to kEUR 670 in the second quarter of 2019. Also research and development expenses slightly decreased.

​

Financial result was negative kEUR 1,172 in the second quarter of 2020, compared to a financial result of positive kEUR 315 in the comparative period in 2019. This was mainly related to higher finance expenses related to the revaluation of derivative financial instruments amounting to kEUR 983 compared to a finance income of kEUR 566 in the last year’s same period. The derivative financial instruments are revalued on each balance sheet date, with changes in the fair value between reporting periods recorded within financial result of the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. An increase in our share price results in an finance expense, while a decrease leads to a finance income. Interest

expense included interest from long term debt with other financial institutions which amounted to kEUR 290 for the second quarter of 2020, compared to kEUR 249 in the comparative period in 2019.

​

Net loss for the second quarter of 2020 was kEUR 5,123 or EUR 1.06 per share, as compared to net loss of kEUR 3,919, or EUR 0.79 per share, in the second quarter of 2019.

​

Based on a conversion rate of five American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) per ordinary share, net loss was at EUR 0.21 per ADS for the second quarter of 2020, compared to a net loss of EUR 0.16 per ADS for the second quarter of 2019. Earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to stockholders of the parent by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the periods. Earnings per ADS is calculated by dividing the above earnings per share by five as each ordinary share represents five ADSs.

​

Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 Results

​

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased by 26.5% to kEUR 7,800 compared to kEUR 10,615 in the prior year period.

​

Systems revenues were kEUR 3,176 for the first six months of 2020 compared to kEUR 4,544 for the same period last year. The Company sold two new and one used and refurbished 3D printer during the first six months of 2020, compared to four new and one used and refurbished 3D printer in the prior year period. Systems revenues also include all Systems-related revenues from consumables, spare parts and maintenance. The decrease of revenues from our Systems segment was due to lower revenues from the sale of 3D printers, but also Systems-related revenue decreased. The decreases in both business fields were mainly due to the challenging global environment caused by the ongoing global pandemic of the COVID-19 situation. The situation significantly limited our ability to perform installations of 3D printers as well as to offer service visits. Therefore, we were not able to fulfill our scheduled transactions and consequently we could not recognize revenue for those services. We also experienced lower demand for consumables and spare parts, as our clients have reduced their production activities. Systems revenues represented 40.7% of total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 42.8% for the same period in the prior year.

​

Services revenues were kEUR 4,624 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to kEUR 6,071 for the same period last year. This decrease of 24.0% was mainly due to lower revenue contributions from our subsidiary voxeljet America Inc. (“voxeljet America”) as well as from the German operation, also related to the COVID-19 situation leading to a significant decrease in demand from our clients. Revenue contribution from our subsidiary voxeljet UK Ltd. (“voxeljet UK”) significantly decreased. This was related to the close down of our service center in the United Kingdom in the fourth quarter of 2019 in the course of our restructuring, which started in the third quarter of 2019.

​

Cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were kEUR 5,630, a decrease of kEUR 1,546, over cost of sales of kEUR 7,176 for the same period in 2019.

​

Gross profit and gross profit margin for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were kEUR 2,170 and 27.8%, respectively, compared to kEUR 3,439 and 32.4% in the prior year period.

​

Gross profit for our Systems segment decreased to kEUR 980 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from kEUR 1,360 in the same period in 2019. This decrease was mainly due to the decline in revenues of kEUR 1,368. The gross profit margin for this segment was almost flat amounting to 30.9% compared to 29.9% for the prior period.

​

Gross profit for our Services segment decreased to kEUR 1,190 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from kEUR 2,079 in the same period of 2019. The gross profit margin for this segment decreased to 25.7% for the first six months of 2020 from 34.2% in the same period in 2019.This was mainly related to lower gross profit as well as gross profit margin contribution as a result of lower utilization inline with the decrease in revenues from our American service center. Gross profit as well as gross profit margin contribution from our German service center slightly improved quarter over quarter in spite of the decline in revenues, due to cost savings measures implemented as a consequence of the COVID-19 situation. Gross profit and gross profit margin contribution from voxeljet China remained almost unchanged.

​

Selling expenses were kEUR 2,841 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to kEUR 3,438 in the same period in 2019. The year over year decrease is mainly due to lower distribution expenses corresponding to the decrease in revenues. Shipping and packaging expenses as a main driver of the selling expenses could vary from quarter to quarter depending on quantity and types of products, as well as the destinations where those goods are being delivered.

​

Administrative expenses increased by kEUR 193 to kEUR 3,217 for the first six months of 2020 from kEUR 3,024 in the prior year’s period. The increase was mainly due to higher unexpected advisor fees also related to the Audit Committee Investigation as previously disclosed in the Company’s SEC filings.

​

R&D expenses decreased to kEUR 3,255 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 from kEUR 3,407 in the same period in 2019, a decrease of kEUR 152, or 4.5%. The decrease was mainly due to lower personnel expenses.

​

Other operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were kEUR 1,368 compared to kEUR 434 in the prior year period. This was mainly due to higher losses from foreign currency transactions amounting to kEUR 1,301 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to kEUR 421 in the prior year’s period.

​

Other operating income was kEUR 1,035 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to kEUR 729 in the prior year period. The increase was mainly due to the government grant received by voxeljet America in April 2020 from the United States Small Business Administration (“SBA”) under the COVID-19 funding program amounting to kUSD 325. The full amount was recognised in profit and loss, in the second quarter of 2020, as the related costs for which the grant is intended to compensate, occurred in this period and we assume, that we comply with the conditions of the funding. The assessment of SBA whether we are in compliance with the conditions, has not been performed yet. Furthermore, we recorded slightly higher gains from foreign exchange transactions amounting to kEUR 490 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to kEUR 446 in comparative period in 2019.

​

The changes in foreign currency losses and gains were primarily driven by the valuation of the intercompany loans granted by the parent company to our UK and US subsidiaries.

​

Operating loss was kEUR 7,476 in the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to an operating loss of kEUR 6,135 in the comparative period in 2019. This was primarily driven by the significant decrease of gross profit accompanied by slightly higher administrative expenses. This was partially offset by lower operating expenses within the functions sales and marketing and R&D, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019. The net impact from other operating expenses and other operating income amounted to kEUR 333 negative for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to kEUR 295 positive for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

​

Financial result was negative kEUR 191 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to a financial result of negative kEUR 345 in the comparative period in 2019. This was mainly related to higher finance income related to the revaluation of derivative financial instruments amounting to kEUR 574 compared to a finance imcome of kEUR 58 in the last year’s same period. Financial result also consists of interest expense for long-term debt amounted to kEUR 609 in the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to kEUR 491 for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

​

Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was kEUR 7,724, or EUR 1.59 per share, as compared to net loss of kEUR 6,535, or EUR 1.33 per share in the prior year period.

​

Based on a conversion rate of five ADSs per ordinary share, net loss was EUR 0.32 per ADS for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to net loss of EUR 0.27 per ADS in the prior year period.

​

Business Outlook

​

Our revenue guidance for the third quarter of 2020 is expected to be in the range of kEUR 6,000 to kEUR 8,000.  

We reaffirm our guidance for the full year ending December 31, 2020:

​

​

Our total backlog of 3D printer orders at June 30, 2020 was kEUR 7,563, which represents nine 3D printers. This compares to a backlog of kEUR 2,792 representing three 3D printers, at December 31, 2019. As production and delivery of our printers is generally characterized by lead times ranging between three to nine months, the conversion rate of order backlog into revenue is dependent on the equipping process for the respective 3D printer, as well as the timing of customers’ requested deliveries.

At June 30, 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of kEUR 6,451 and restricted cash of kEUR 1,420 and held kEUR 2,875 of investments in bond funds, thereof kEUR 2,000 restricted, which are included in current financial assets on our consolidated statements of financial position.

​

Non-IFRS Measure

​

Management regularly uses both IFRS and non-IFRS results and expectations internally to assess its overall performance of the business, making operating decisions, and forecasting and planning for future periods. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful financial measure to the Company’s investors as it helps investors better understand and evaluate the projections our management board provides. The Company’s calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled financial measures reported by other peer companies. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a substitute to financial measures prepared in accordance with IFRS.

​

The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental financial measure of its financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss), as calculated under IFRS accounting principles, interest (income) expense, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and excluding other (income) expense resulting from foreign exchange gains or losses on the intercompany loans granted to the subsidiaries. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA to be an important financial measure because it excludes the effects of fluctuating foreign exchange gains or losses on the intercompany loans granted to its subsidiaries. We are unable to reasonably estimate the potential full-year financial impact of foreign currency translation because of volatility in foreign exchange rates. Therefore, we are unable to provide a reconciliation to our forward-looking guidance for non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA without unreasonable effort as certain information necessary to calculate such measure on an IFRS basis is unavailable, dependent on future events outside of our control and cannot be predicted without unreasonable efforts by the Company.

The adoption of standards effective 01/2020 did not have a material impact on the interim financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. The Company has not yet conclusively determined what impact the new standards, amendments or interpretations effective 01/2021 or later will have on its financial statements, but does not expect they will have a significant impact.

​

The interim financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were authorized for issue by the Management Board on August 13, 2020.

​

Going concern

​

The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of going concern which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

​

voxeljet has recognized continuous net losses during the first half of 2020, full year 2019, 2018 and 2017 amounting to kEUR 7,724, kEUR 14,231, kEUR 8,764 and kEUR 8,554, respectively. Additionally, voxeljet had negative cash flows

from operating activities in the first half of 2020, full year 2019, 2018 and 2017 of kEUR 5,969, kEUR 6,819, kEUR 7,714 and kEUR 6,830, respectively, mainly due to continuous net losses.

​

Due to the global outbreak of a new strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19 situation”), we have experienced and expect to continue to experience lower demand in both, our Systems and Services segment. Our clients may continue to postpone larger investments and therefore, the demand for 3D printers may also decrease. In addition, the COVID-19 situation could cause further delays in installation of 3D printers at customers’ facilities, which could lead to postponed revenue recognition for those transactions. Both a decrease in revenues as well as potential delays in the installations increase the risk and likelihood of lower cash inflows. Such risks have been evaluated by management and consequently have been considered in our liquidity forecast, which assumes our business plan is executed appropriately and sales track as expected. We update our liquidity forecast on an ongoing basis.

​

As we experience difficulty in generating sufficient cash flow to meet our obligations and sustain our operations, the COVID-19 situation raises material uncertainties that may cast substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Further, material deviations from our forecasts could lead to a covenant breach in the future, which could result in an acceleration of our obligation to repay all amounts outstanding under those facilities.

​

Despite the ongoing losses, reduced cash flow and cash facilities, and the other negative financial conditions, management assumes that voxeljet will continue as a going concern, as the Company has been successful in drawing down kEUR 5,000 of the second tranche of the loan granted by the EIB under the Finance Contract in June 2020. This improved our liquidity significantly. Also, the financial covenants under the Finance Contract have been renegotiated to replace the Total Net Financial Debt to EBITDA ratio with a minimum cash/cash equivalents requirement. In addition, the restructuring of the voxeljet UK entity, which included consolidating 3D printing to serve all customers in Europe from the German service center has been finished. This helps to reduce overall costs and will lead to improved gross profit margins by realizing economies of scale in the German service center. Further, management initiated a restructuring program at the German entity during the fourth quarter of 2019. This program included the reduction of headcount mainly in the Systems segment in order to streamline the Company’s operations and optimize efficiency. This restructuring was successfully completed at the end of June 2020 and will provide further cost reductions.

​

Management is also taking steps to raise further funds which may include debt or equity financing. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise further funds on terms favorable to us, if at all.

​

Based on our current liquidity and capital resources in combination with our current liquidity forecasts, as well as the implemented cost reduction program, management believes that the Company has the ability to meet its financial obligations for at least the next 12 months and therefore continues as a going concern. However, the matters described above give rise to material uncertainties that may cast substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

​

Impairment test

​

Non-financial assets are tested for impairment if there are indicators that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The Company considers the COVID-19 situation as such an indicator. Therefore, voxeljet performed an impairment test for the non-financial assets for the end of the reporting period. An impairment loss is recognized in the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is defined as the higher of an asset’s fair value less cost to sell and its value in use. As individual assets do not generate largely independent cash flows, impairment testing is performed at the cash generating unit level. An individual fixed asset within a CGU cannot be written down below fair value less cost incurred to sell the individual asset. The impairment test, which we performed, did not lead to any write downs.

​

Amendment and recalculation

​

a) Amendment of classification of short-term investments

​

In the first quarter of 2020, we amended our classification of short-term investments included in current financial assets. Before the amendment, those short-term investments have been classified in the category at fair value through OCI (FVOCI).

​

The new classification shall be the category at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL). Accordingly, prior periods have been revised, which leads to movements between profit and loss and other comprehensive income as the changes in fair value are now presented within finance income or expense.

​

b) Recalculation of performance participation interest related to the Finance Contract with the EIB

​

In the first quarter of 2020, we recalculated the performance participation interest related to the Finance Contract with the EIB, due to a mistake in the calculation logic. Accordingly, prior periods have been revised, which leads to adjustmenets in non current financial asstes, deferred tax libilities as well as equity.

​

c) Impacts of amendment and recalculation

​

Due to the amendments and recalculations, which are described above, the opening balance as of January 1, 2019 of non current financial assets as well as deferred tax liabilities have increased by kEUR 151 and kEUR 43 respectively. The opening balance as of January 1, 2019 of accumulated deficit increased by kEUR 10, whereas the opening balance of accumulated other comprehensive gain increased by kEUR 119. As a result the loss for the six month ended June 2019 decreased by kEUR 168.

​

As of June 30, 2019 non current financial assets as well as deferred tax liabilities have increased by kEUR 190 and kEUR 54 respectively. For the period ending June 30, 2019 the balance of accumulated deficit decreased by kEUR 158, whereas the balance of accumulated other comprehensive gain decreased by kEUR 21.

​

As a result the loss for the three month ended June 2019 was increased by kEUR 5 whereas net changes in fair value of debt investments at FVOCI was reduced by kEUR 34. For the six month ended June 2019 the loss was reduced by kEUR 168 whereas net changes in fair value of debt investments at FVOCI was reduced by kEUR 140.

​

As of December 31, 2019 non current financial assets as well as deferred tax liabilities have increased by kEUR 260 and kEUR 73, respectively. As of December 31, 2019 the balance of accumulated deficit decreased by kEUR 243 whereas the balance of accumulated other comprehensive gain was reduced by kEUR 56.

​

The Company has evaluated the effect of these amendments, both qualitatively and quantitatively, and concluded that the change did not have a material impact on, nor require amendment of, any previously filed financial statements. Affected financial statement line items for prior periods are appended with a footnote.

​

2. Summary of significant accounting policies

​

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these interim financial statements are set out in the Company’s financial statements as of December 31, 2019, which can be found in its Annual Report on Form 20-F that was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. These policies have been applied to all financial periods presented.

​

Government grants

Government grants in connection with government assistance to help businesses to mitigate adverse impacts from the COVID-19 global pandemic are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the entity recognises as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate, provided that the entity complies with the conditions for the funding.

​

Short-term investments

​

In the first quarter of 2020, we amended our classification of short-term investments included in current financial assets. Before the amendment, those short-term investments have been classified in the category at fair value through OCI (FVOCI). For further information, see Note 1.

3. Share based payment arrangements

​

On April 7, 2017, voxeljet AG established a share option plan that entitles key management personnel and senior employees of voxeljet AG and its subsidiaries to purchase shares of the parent company.

Total options available under the share option plan are 372,000. On April 7, 2017 279,000 options (75%, Tranche 1) were granted. On April 12, 2018 93,000 options (25%, Tranche 2) were granted .

​

The vesting conditions include a service condition (the options vest after a period of four years of continued service from the respective grant date) and a market condition (the options may only be exercised if the share price exceeds the exercise price over a period of 90 consecutive days by at least 20% in the period between the grant date and the respective exercise time frame) which both conditions must be met.

​

The fair value of the employee share option plan has been measured for Tranches 1 and 2 using a Monte Carlo simulation. The market condition has been incorporated into the fair value at grant date.

The inputs used in the measurement of the fair value at grant date are as follows:

​

​

The respective expected volatility has been based on an evaluation of the historical volatility of the Company’s share price as at the grant date. As at June 30, 2020 no options are exercisable and 353,400 options are outstanding. The weighted-average contractual life of the options at June 30, 2020 amounts to 7.0 years (June 30, 2019: 8.0 years).

​

The expenses recognized in the profit and loss statement in relation to the share-based payment arrangements amounted to kEUR 167 in the three months and kEUR 334 in the six months ended June 30, 2020. (Three months and six months ended June 30, 2019: kEUR 167 and kEUR 332, respectively).
