Summary :
Conclusion: The current management can present a good track record. The pension problem probably prevented an acquisition by a larger player and also made it difficult to get an accurate valuation. The improving expectations in terms of growth, profitability and capital needs provide a fair value of 5.4 Euro in a conservative scenario.

I. Company Description
Activities
Description: AGFA consists of 2 core activities: medical imaging (43%) and graphic printing (49%). In
addition, there is a smaller department of "special products" (8%) that supplies materials for all kinds of
applications. The medical and graphic core activities were strongly affected by the digitization that has
continued since the year 2000. AGFA has invested substantially in the medical segment (Healthcare) to
keep up with this upheaval. Over the years, AGFA has extended its know-how through acquisitions to new
digital technologies that go beyond "taking images"
AGFA Healthcare, diversified by acquisitions Agfa Healthcare is a major player on the diagnostic imaging market, providing analog and digital
technology, as well as IT solutions to meet the needs of specialized clinicians in the field of radiology,
cardiology, mammography and orthopaedics. Activities cover the entire imaging cycle from equipment to
processing, diagnosing, sharing and maintenance.The business group is also a key provider on the
healthcare information solutions market, integrating the administrative, financial and clinical workflows of
individual hospitals and hospital groups. Together with medical and hospital IT specialists, Agfa makes
healthcare diagnoses more reliable and affordable. All this has resulted in a significant accomplishment:
more than 50% of all hospitals in the world now use Agfa technology.

Diagnostic imaging
Within Diagnostic Imaging Agfa currently focuses on the business unit of Digital Radiography (20% of
Healthcare turnover) which includes DR (Digital Radiography) and CR (Computed Radiography) solutions.
Both DR and CR are digital but in contrast to CR, which complements former analog systems with a
reusable and digitally readable cassette in place of a traditional film cassette, DR provides a fully digitized
approach. DR systems are thus much faster but also more expensive. Agfa provides competitive DR
solutions with excellence in dose reduction and the advantage to be fully integrated with the MUSICA

software. With respect to developing markets, CR systems remain important due to their simplicity.
Enterprise Imaging
The Enterprise Imaging business unit provides solutions for information and imaging content management.
AGFA currently focuses on its fully integrated Enterprise Imaging platform that provides an integrated
whole of Agfa’s core offerings in this segment. The Enterprise Imaging platform brings together different
departmental PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System), information systems, VNA’s (Vendor
Neutral Archive), advanced 3D, voice recognition and viewer and mobile functionality. Agfa provides also a
specialized version for cardiology and radiology. On a stand-alone basis Agfa also provides various
healthcare information systems and has a good position in the emerging market of VNA’s which consolidate
all imaging data from multiple systems, departments and vendors. Agfa Healthcare signed a contract with
the Fédération des Hôpitaux Luxembourg (FHL) for a national VNA solution that will include all images from
all departments of all hopitals in Luxembourg. The solution will also be linked with the national Electronic
Health Record (HER), supporting Luxembourg’s strategy of integrated care by means of one single platform.
Other solutions include various business intelligence applications, an application for dose management, the
HYDMEDIA archiving tool and XERO Viewer, an application which enables access to imaging data from
different sources with mobile device support.
Hospital IT
Hospital IT groups the ORBIT enterprise-wide IT solutions which provide availability of patients’ histories,
including all images and clinical and administrative data. ORBIT is currently one of the leading Hospital and
Clinical Information Systems (HIS/CIS) in Europe. A new focus area for Agfa is integrated care, offering an
integrated overview of a patient for all the stakeholders. Agfa recently developed the Agfa Healthcare
Portal for image and results delivery that is able to integrate with the Agfa Enterprise Imaging system and
third-party systems. The tool enables hospitals to offer care providers, referring physicians and patients
access to the patient’s health information. Integrated care is expected to become increasingly important.
Stand-Alone Hospital IT
Agfa Healthcare started with the envisaged reshaping of the Group by organizing the healthcare IT activities
(Imaging IT and Hospital IT) into a stand-alone legal entity structure and organization within the Agfa-
Gevaert Group, starting with Latin America and the Middle-East. The move would enable the healthcare IT
business to increase its focus on its current markets. Agfa was approached by CompuGroup Medical SE for
a potential acquisition of all of the issued shares of Agfa, but they reached an understanding to not further
pursue the discussions about the contemplated public takeover bid. The decision to organize the healthcare
IT activities into a stand-alone entity might bring along a new potential acquisition.

Pressure to implement all the different technology systems of an healthcare institution in 1 system
Will facilities with PACS in place swap for one single-provider solution from a different vendor? Many
health care providers are consolidating to create integrated health care delivery systems with greater
market power. These providers may try to use their market power to negotiate price reductions for our
solutions, health care devices and services. As the health care industry consolidates, our client base could
be eroded, competition for clients could become more intense and the importance of landing new client
relationships becomes greater.
Uncertainty about the repealing of the Obamcare system in the US
As the debate on repealing and replacing the so-called Obamacare system continues to intensify, American
hospitals are uncertain about the funding of the health care system in the future. Companies who are
active in the health care business feel the impact of the measures taken by President Trump. Especially
companies whose income are dependent of the subsidies that are part of the Obamacare law are
discouraged to make large investments.
Standardization and consolidation of hospital information systems
The evolution in the domain of healthcare is increasingly calling for IT proficiency to face the many
challenges, including the need for improved registration, standardisation, integration and exchange of data
and information, the fostering of patient centricity and the push towards a better quality and efficacy of
cure and care. To date, the business requirements of the hospital are not always aligned with the current
state of IT accomplishments. Many hospital information system providers are developing new eHealth data
applications to consolidate information. In Belgium, mobile health (mHealth) is also gaining attention with
the use of mobile applications.
Other market trends
- Increasing adoption of health information technology (HIT)
- Software as a Service (SaaS) instead of complex network infrastructure
- Mobile applications, Cloud-based PACS
- Development of products to integrate VNAs with electronic health records (EHRs)

AGFA Graphics, analog suffers, inkjet rises slowly in the mix Not only newspapers, books, magazines, billboards and packaging are printed, but also bank notes, wallpapers, textiles, labels, cans and CD's. Before the actual printing can start, a number of prepress activities need to be performed. In the prepress stage, photos are scanned, text and images are combined in a layout, pages are correctly positioned, colors are quality-controlled and digitally proofed. After a proof has been prepared and checked, the data are exposed, with the intermediary film (computer-to-film: CTF) or directly onto a printing plate (computer-to-plate: CTP).

As the worldwide market leader in pre-press solutions, Agfa answers all the pre-press needs of the graphic industry. Agfa provides commercial, newspaper and packaging printers with the most extensive integrated solutions for both computer-to-film and computer-to-plate systems, including equipment, consumables (graphic films and printing plates) and software. Agfa also supplies digital proofing systems, large format printing and the professional software that controls the entire prepress process. In addition, Agfa offers digital inkjet printing presses for industrial applications. The acquisition of Gandi Innovations allowed Agfa Graphics to extend its industrial inkjet portfolio. Furthermore, the business group consolidated its positions in the Asian and North-American markets through the establishment of the Agfa Graphics Asia joint-venture and the acquisition of the Harold M. Pitman Company. In the field of prepress, Agfa Graphics strengthened its position with the acquisition of software developer and reseller Bodoni Systems.

II. Business Model
A. Growth Expectations
Short term news and recent results
Most of the Agfa-Gevaert Group’s growth engines – including Inkjet, HealthCare Information Solutions and
several future-oriented activities of the Agfa Specialty Products business group – performed well in 2017.
The Group’s top line decrease was attributable to adverse currency effects and to the decline in the
traditional businesses, including Agfa HealthCare’s hardcopy business, which felt the effects of the
reorganization of its distribution channels in China. Excluding currency effects, the Group’s revenue decline
was limited to 2.9%. The top line trend clearly improved versus the previous year (-3.5%), showing a
significant improvement in the fourth quarter.
Graphics quarterly segment growth
Inkjet is still the fastest growing segment, but remained relatively slow in a YoY comparison after strong
growth cycles in 2010 and 2015.

Healthcare quarterly segment growth
Hardcopy and radiology have been extremely volatile, but recovererd towards 4Q17. Hospital IT continued
to grow strongly over FY17. This segment is strategically important for future margin improvement.
Long term growth drivers
Growth Conclusion
AGFA is well positioned as an independent hospital IT supplier. It offers a platform that can
manage files from various imaging devices from GE, Philips or Siemens. AGFA must continue to
invest in order to keep up with the "cloud" evolution. This technology allows hospitals to save
costs in a tight budget environment. In the graphical activities the growth has been negative.
Digital development ensures a continuous decrease in turnover and competitive pressure is
reflected in pricing. Turnover decline is partly compensated by the digital inkjet segment. AGFA

C. Capital Needs
(Source: Company data, Valuescan.be estimates)
Capex Returns to higher level after under-investment. Capex/Sales of 2.5%. Working Capital Has been rationalised and moves in line with sales. Debt, strong reduction from cash flow and no dividend, total FY15 debt = 941m including pension debt
Capital Needs conclusion
AGFA is a healthy company with low financial debt. The high debt due to the acquisitions from the past have been reduced from the cash flows. The company has indicated to return to acquisitions to stimulate growth. AGFA therefore does noy pay a dividend. AGFA bears a historical pension debt. These liabilities weigh on the balance sheet because the low interest rates make the company liable for accounting losses to its equity. However, these are accounting effects that disappear as soon as interest rates normalize. Over 2017, the pension debt decreased by around 50m EUR.
