Business and financial update – In connection with funding discussions
10 June 2019
Business update
Global Scanning A/S (“Global Scanning” or the “Group”) has initiated a process to refocus its business on the existing 2D scanning segment and Scan Dimension within 3D scanning. The Group has concluded that further development of the remaining two business segments, Shapewatch and Brand 3D, is better done in separate subsidiaries which may be divested or enter into partnerships with specialists within the respective segments.
Funding discussions
Global Scanning will enter into discussions with investors and financial institutions to investigate its funding opportunities and has mandated Pareto Securities and Gernandt & Danielsson as financial and legal advisor in connection therewith. New funding may include bilateral loans or bond issues. Subject to i.a. the outcome of these discussions and market conditions, a refinancing of the Group’s outstanding SEK 200 million bond may follow.
Financial update
In connection with the funding discussions, a financial update will be provided. The above mentioned business refocus will entail limitations in investments into Shapewatch and Brand 3D as well as other projects outside the 2D scanning segment. For the last twelve months ending 31 March 2019 the entire Group had sales and EBITDA of USD 42.6m and USD 4.7m, respectively. If excluding Shapewatch and Brand 3D, sales and EBITDA for the same period amount to USD 42.3m and USD 6.9m, respectively. For 2019, if excluding Shapewatch and Brand 3D, the Group expects sales and EBITDA to amount to USD 38.9m and USD 6.5m, respectively.
