*Baar, 30 September 2019 - APTG AG, formerly named Airopack Technology Group
AG, today announced its results for the first half-year 2019. *
APTG AG, which until the Annual General Meeting on 15 August 2019, operated
under the name of Airopack Technology Group AG ("Airopack"), reported net
sales of EUR 1.8 million for the first half-year 2019 (H1 2018[1]: EUR 7.1
million). As previously reported in the press release dated 1 July 2019 and
in the Annual Report 2018, the company's operating subsidiaries were
separated from the holding company as of 18 March 2019, and therefore the
consolidated financial statements for the Group for the first half-year 2019
are not directly comparable with the results of the previous year period.
For the first half-year 2019, EBITDA[2] amounted to EUR -7.3 million (H1
2018: EUR -12.3 million). The company recorded a non-operating, non-cash and
one-time profit of EUR 101.4 million for the first half of 2019, which is
related to the carve-out of the operating entities and results from the
release of negative net assets of EUR 101.4 million. Due to this
non-recurring item, the net result for the reporting period 2019 was EUR
84.9 million (H1 2018: EUR -26.3 million). Excluding this one-time and
non-cash profit, the company's loss would be at EUR -16.6 million for the
reporting period 2019.
Due to the carve-out of the operating companies on 18 March 2019, the
company lost most of its assets in the first half of 2019. The balance sheet
total declined to EUR 0.6 million (31.12.2018: EUR 141.7 million) and
shareholders' equity remained negative with EUR -3.0 million as at 30 June
2019 (31.12.2018: EUR -86.8 million).
As reported in the press release dated 1 July 2019, the company remains
under definitive composition moratorium (since 5 June 2019). The Cantonal
Court of Zug granted the definitive composition moratorium in June 2019 for
four months until 14 October 2019 (may be extended) and a definitive
administrator was appointed.
As also reported in the press release dated 3 July 2019, SIX Swiss Exchange
approved the company's request for a delisting of its shares. The last
trading day of APTG AG's shares will be 31 October 2019.
