Barco ends a H1 2018<\/a> under the banner of growth – especially with ClickShare – and investments.<\/strong>
\nEBITDA margin expanded 1.0 percentage<\/strong> point on the strength of gross profit margin improvements and lower operating expenses while the company continued to invest in its growth platforms. Each of the divisions posted higher EBITDA margins. In Enterprise continued strong growth of ClickShare<\/strong> was offset by lower Control Rooms\u2019 sales due to soft demand in the rear projection cube market. Healthcare<\/strong> generated strong order intake reflecting continued strengthening of its market position in both the diagnostic and surgical segments. In Entertainment, Venues & Hospitality<\/strong> produced higher sales year-over-year for the third consecutive semester which partially offset lower Cinema sales, mainly in China.
\n\u201cBarco\u2019s first semester performance demonstrates the progress we are making toward our stated goal of building a stronger foundation that supports improved quality of earnings. We\u2019re pleased with the progress and we continue our strong focus on realizing further business- and cost- efficiencies, while investing in innovative solutions and go-to-market strategies as we advance towards our mid- term objective of achieving an EBITDA margin in the range of 12% to 14% by 2020,\u201d says the Ceo Jan De Witte.<\/strong>
\nBarco continued to execute on its \u2018focus to perform\u2019 program and to advance its key growth initiatives. The company sold X2O Media; opened its factory for the future in Belgium; and, started the relocation of manufacturing activities from Norway to Belgium. In parallel, Cinionic<\/strong>, Barco\u2019s new Cinema venture, was commercially launched during the first half and signed its first renewal contracts; UniSee<\/strong>, the new LCD-based videowall, completed its first 50 installations with reference accounts around the world; and Healthcare opened its local R&D and manufacturing center in Suzhou, China, under its \u2018In China for China\u2019 program, aimed at more effectively penetrating the Chinese Healthcare market.
\nGiven the performance for the first half of the year \u2013 and assuming a stable global economic environment and currencies at current levels – management reaffirms its full year outlook which calls for further margin improvement.
