TRESU Q3 2023 Financial Report
TRESU
Executive summary (I/II)
Recap of the TRESU journey (since A&E in 2021)
Since the amendment of the bond in 2021, TRESU, with the support of Altor, has been executing on the business plan then presented while navigating an
unprecedented macro-economic environment. The results have so far been disappointing driven by:
Unprecedented macro-environment of inflation and component supply shortage, especially challenging for a small, customized machine-builder like TRESU
Significant cost overruns on one legacy project (sold in 2020, DKK -28m GP vs. pre-calc. as per Sep-23). The project was clearly (in hindsight) outside TRESU's core
application know-how, and should not have been taken on
The owners and the new management have taken swift actions to turn the situation around focused on:
•
Setting new strong management team led by industry veteran, Stephan Plenz (ex CTO at Heidelberger Druckmaschinen). New CFO (Jul-22), CTO (Jan-23) and
multiple changes to 2nd level of mgmt. over the last three years
Strengthening E2E project execution
Re-vitalizing customer dialogues and R&D efforts
Driving highly profitable customer care growth (8% order intake CAGR from 2020A - Sep-23 LTM at 55% CM1 margin; DKK 15m GP1 uplift over same period)
Altor has continued to support TRESU including DKK 64m of capital injections since the 2021 bond amendment
Despite short-term challenges, outlook for TRESU is positive
