1 General information

Hydra Dutch Holdings 1 BV (hereafter “the Company”), a Limited Liability Company incorporated in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, and its subsidiaries (hereafter “the Group”), are active in 19 countries and mainly engaged in Home & Office Delivery (HOD) of water cooler bottles. Additionally, the Group offers customers in most markets a range of direct-marketing products such as water filters and Lavazza coffee products.

2 Basis of preparation of financial statements

2.1 Statement of compliance

These financial statements are the interim condensed consolidated financial statements (hereafter “the interim financial statements”) of the Group for the six month period ended 30 June 2016. They are prepared in accordance with and comply with the International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting.

The interim financial statements include the operations of Hydra Dutch Holdings 1 B.V. and its controlled subsidiaries where control is defined as the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the enterprise so to obtain benefits from its activities. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015. These interim financial statements are not audited.

2.2 Accounting policies

The accounting policies used in the preparation of these interim financial statements are consistent with those used in the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015.

The preparation of interim financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the significant judgments made by management in applying ‘the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the financial statements for the period from 1 January, 2015 to 31 December 2015. Regarding financial asset at fair value through profit or loss, see note 3.2.

Taxes on income in the interim periods are accrued using the tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual profit or loss.

2.3 Business Combination

On 1 February 2016, the Group completed the third stage of the acquisition of the Nestlé Waters Direct (NWD) business in Poland. Due to anti-trust regulations and competition law in Poland we were able to acquire a portion of the NWD Polish business. The remaining assets that were not purchased by us were transferred to a third party company named GetFresh Sp. z o.o. (GetFresh). The overall purchase consideration for the assets transferred to us and the assets transferred to GetFresh amounts to EUR 32.7 million including a recoverable VAT amount of EUR 5.7 million. GetFresh remitted the purchase price by issuing EUR 11.1 million bonds in favor of Eden Springs Europe B.V. The EUR 18.2 million purchase price for the assets transferred to us has been preliminarily assigned to the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. This third step of the NWD acquisition was entirely funded using borrowings under the revolving credit facility agreement.

In 2016 acquired business contributed revenues of € 4’678 since the acquisition dates. If the acquisitions had occurred on 1 January 2016, the acquired businesses, for the period would have contributed revenues of € 5’614.

Details of net assets acquired and intangibles are as follows:

3 Financial risk management and financial instruments

3.1 Financial risk factors

The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: foreign currency exchange risk, cash flow interest rates risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all financial risk management information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements; they should be read in conjunction with the group’s annual financial statements as at 31 December 2015.

3.2 Fair value estimation

The table below presents financial instruments carried at fair value, by valuation method. The different levels have been defined as follows:

 

    Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1).

 

    Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (Level 2).

 

    Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs) (Level 3).

 

     Level 2  

Liabilities

     30.06.2016         31.12.2015   

Derivatives financial instruments

     (5 585      (5 201

The fair value of the financial asset at fair value through profit or loss is at level 3 measurement (see note 2.3) . Changes in fair value are classified in other operating expenses net, and amounted to EUR 100 in the six months ended June 30, 2016.

On 29 January 2015, the Company successfully issued EUR 160 million of 8% Senior Secured Notes due 15 April 2019 comprising of EUR 35 million of Exchange Notes of the existing EUR 210 million Floating Rate Senior Secured Notes due 2019 and EUR 125 million of New Cash Notes to finance the acquisition of the Nestle Waters Direct water solutions businesses in Germany, the Netherlands, Portugal, Russia and Poland from Nestle Waters as well as repaying in full the utilization of the Bridge facility.

The Notes are redeemable by the Company at any time prior to their maturity, based on prices and terms stipulated in the Notes agreement which include a make-whole call premium if the Notes are redeemed prior to 1 February 2017.

Therefore, on 29 January 2015, the Company used the first portion of the proceeds from the New Cash Notes to repay EUR 53.2 million of the Bridge Facility that was partially drawn on 28 November 2014 in connection with the first stage of the acquisition of three of the five Nestle Waters Direct water solutions businesses from Nestle Waters. The closing date for the acquisition of the businesses in the Netherlands, Portugal and Germany occurred on 1 December 2014.

On 2 February 2015, the Company used a second portion of the proceeds from the New Cash Notes to settle the purchase price for the acquisition of Nestle Waters Direct water solution business in Russia. The remainder of the proceeds from the New Cash Notes was deposited into an Escrow Account held with the Escrow Agent in the name of the Company pursuant to an Escrow Agreement. This remainder of the proceeds from the New Cash Notes was to be used to pay the purchase price for the acquisition of Nestle Waters Direct water solution business in Poland.

As the acquisition of Nestle Water Direct Poland did not occur on or prior to 31 October 2015 (the “Polish NWDE Closing Date”) the Company redeemed EUR 34.9 million in aggregate principal amount of EUR 160 million 8% Senior Secured Notes due 2019 (the “Notes”) at a price equal to 101% of that aggregate principal amount of the Notes plus accrued but unpaid interest on 9 November 2015 (the “Redemption Date”). Following the Redemption Date, the outstanding principal amount of the Notes is EUR 125.1 million.

On 30 October 2015 the Company secured an increase of the existing Revolving Credit Facility Agreement (the “RCF”) that was entered on 15 April 2014. The RCF increased from an aggregate amount of EUR 45 million to EUR 65 million.

On 1 February 2016, the Company used additional RCF proceeds to settle the purchase price of Nestle Water Poland that was drawn on 29 January 2016. The total RCF drawdawn as of 30 June 2016 is EUR 50 million.

On 30 June 2016 the senior secured notes as well as the RCF are classified as current liability following the early redemption of these senior secured notes and the full repayment of the senior secured notes and the RCF that occurred on 2 August 2016, date of the closing of the Eden Springs acquisition by Cott Corporation, which included an additional prepayment amount of EUR 10 million , accordingly such additional prepayment amount as well as unamortized borrowing costs, in an aggregate amount of EUR 19.7 million is recorded as financial expenses in the second quarter of 2016. The prepayment of the debt was financed by Cott following closing of the transaction.

The plaintiff estimated the total damages to all MEB customers in the sum of NIS 67 million (approx € 15.6 million). On April 6, 2016 the parties signed a settlement agreement in which an expert will be appointed to examine past price increases and check if they were legally carried out. MEB will than compensate its customers in the sum equal to 40% of the total sums that will be found by the expert (“Total COMPENSATION”) plus the plaintiff compensation and legal fees in the amount equal to 20% of the total compensation fee.
