Panostaja Oyj        Interim report, March 6, 2013              10:00 a.m.

   

 

Net sales for the first quarter: MEUR 43.4, growth 15% 

EBIT for the first quarter: MEUR -0.7, change -154%. Operating profit deteriorated particularly because of weakened demand from the technology industry segments. 

Cash flow from business operations in the period under review was MEUR 1.3 (change: MEUR -3.3).

In November, Panostaja Oyj’s subsidiary Suomen Helasto Oy bought the entire shareholding of Oy Eurohela Trading Ltd, which provides furniture fittings wholesale services.

Panostaja Oyj also announced that it had bought 60% of the share capital of Selog Oy, a company supplying material, calculation and design services for ceiling construction. As a result of the transaction, Panostaja established within the Group a new business area specializing in wholesale services of ceiling materials. 

In December, Panostaja expanded its printing services segment, when its subsidiary Digiprint Finland Oy acquired the entire share capital of DMP-Digital Media Partners Oy.

EBIT totaled MEUR -0.7 (MEUR 1.2). The MEUR -1.9 decrease in EBIT was primarily caused by the Takoma and Heat Treatment segments.

MARKET SITUATION    

Although Panostaja Group’s first quarter is typically the weakest of the financial period, business development during the review period did not meet expectations. In particular, the segments serving the technology industry experienced a quiet quarter. During the first quarter, the general economic situation and atmosphere were challenging. The predicted weakening in construction volume changes has at least not yet been reflected significantly in the construction-related segments. Panostaja believes, however, that the situation will improve during the latter part of the financial period. The situation on the financial markets has remained challenging, particularly in the SME sector, and the restraints on credit issue are a significant risk to general financial development. The corporate acquisition market remains quiet, although reinvigoration typical after the New Year was noticeable to some extent. 

 

THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF THE PANOSTAJA GROUP

 

NOVEMBER 2012–JANUARY 2013

Panostaja Group’s net sales in the first quarter were MEUR 43.4 (MEUR 37.7). Export amounted to MEUR 2.3, or 5.4% (MEUR 3.4, 8.0%) of net sales. The corporate acquisitions made during the previous and current financial period affected the MEUR 5.7 increase in net sales by MEUR 9.0. 

The MEUR 5.7 increase in net sales was primarily the result of growth stemming from corporate acquisitions.. Of the Group’s 11 operational segments, seven exceeded the net sales of the reference year. Correspondingly, four segments fell below the net sales level of the reference year. 

EBIT totaled MEUR -0.7 (MEUR 1.2). The MEUR -1.9 decrease in EBIT was primarily caused by the Takoma and Heat Treatment segments. Only the Fasteners segment achieved better operating profit than in the reference period. 

The Group’s net financial expenses for the review period were approximately MEUR -0.9 (MEUR -0.9). The Group's liquidity was good and cash flow from business operations (MEUR 1.3) was positive.

GROUP STRUCTURE CHANGES

On November 6, Panostaja Oyj’s subsidiary Suomen Helasto Oy bought the entire shareholding of Oy Eurohela Trading Ltd, which provides furniture fittings wholesale services. The segment was also reorganized, so that the furniture fittings and construction fittings operations were divided into individual companies. Suomen Helasto Oy’s subsidiaries Oy Eurohela Trading Ltd and Suomen Helakeskus Oy merged to form Suomen Helakeskus Oy, focusing on the furniture fittings business. Suomen Helasto Oy’s new subsidiary Rakennushelasto Oy, which was established as part of the reorganization, specializes in the construction fittings business. As a result of the reorganization, Panostaja Oyj’s shareholding in Suomen Helasto Oy is about 95%.

Panostaja Oyj announced on November 7, 2012 that it had bought 60% of the share capital of Selog Oy, a company supplying material, calculation and design services for ceiling construction. As a result of the transaction, Panostaja expanded its business operations and established within the Group a new business area specializing in wholesale services of ceiling materials. As part of the arrangement, Selog Oy’s owners continue as minority shareholders in the new segment.  

Panostaja expanded its Digital Printing Services segment on December 4, 2012, which already includes the Kopijyvä Group. Panostaja’s subsidiary Digiprint Finland Oy acquired the entire share capital of DMP-Digital Media Partners Oy. The DMP Group provides printing, publication, and production services for marketing communications. As a result of the reorganization, Panostaja owns approximately 56% of the total share capital of Digiprint Finland Oy. As part of the reorganization, the shareholders of DMP-Digital Media Partners Oy became minority shareholders in Digiprint Finland Oy. As a result of the reorganization, Digiprint Finland Oy owns all of Kopijyvä Oy and DMP-Digital Media Partners Oy.

 

SEGMENT REVIEW

Panostaja Group’s business operations for the period under review are reported in 12 segments: Digital Printing Services, Safety, Takoma, Value-added Logistics, Ceiling Materials, Spare Parts for Motor Vehicles, Fittings, Heat Treatment, Carpentry Industry, Supports, Fasteners and Other (parent company + associated companies). 

 

NOVEMBER 2012–JANUARY 2013  

Net sales in the Digital Printing Services segment increased from MEUR 8.3 to MEUR 10.9,but EBIT weakened slightly from MEUR 1.2 to MEUR 1.0.The review period was characterized by the acquisition of DMP Group at the beginning of December. Price competition on the market remained fierce, but prospects for the segment are bright. 

Net sales in the Safety segment increased from MEUR 7.3 to MEUR 7.6, but EBIT dropped from MEUR 0.3 to MEUR -0.2. The increase in net sales was due to the strong organic growth of the segment. The investments in growth were evident in increased costs in the segment, which weakened EBIT. The company’s order book is at a normal level and its stock of tenders quite good. 

Net sales in the Takoma segment declined from MEUR 7.7 to MEUR 5.5. The segment’s EBIT decreased from MEUR -0.5 to MEUR -1.0. During the early part of the financial period, the volumes of orders were unprecedentedly low, existing customers no longer offered sufficient market potential, and were unable to guarantee a sufficient load for Takoma’s capacity. Takoma’s order book at the end of the review period deteriorated to MEUR 8.6 (reference period: MEUR 12.2). 

Net sales in the Value-added Logistics segment grew from MEUR 4.4 to MEUR 7.1 but EBIT weakened slightly from MEUR 0.2 to MEUR 0.1. The increase in net sales can be explained by the acquisition in May of packaging and logistics company HSG Logistics Oy. 

Ceiling Materials is a new segment, which was created when Panostaja acquired Selog Oy in November 2012. Net sales for the segment in the review period were MEUR 3.0 and EBIT MEUR 0.3. 

Net sales in the Spare Parts for Motor Vehicles segment grew slightly from MEUR 2.4 to MEUR 2.5, while EBIT remained at the previous year's level (MEUR 0.2).  Exceptionally mild weather has adversely affected sales of winter products. 

Net sales in the Fittings segment increased from MEUR 2.7 to MEUR 3.0, but the EBIT of MEUR 0.1 dropped to MEUR -0.2. The increase in net sales for the Fittings segment was primarily a result of the acquisition of Oy Eurohela Trading Ltd in November.The review period was encumbered by costs arising from business transactions. 

Net sales in the Heat Treatment segment declined from MEUR 2.0 to MEUR 1.1, and the MEUR 0.4 EBIT dropped to MEUR -0.3. During the review period, customers have been quiet across the board, there have been no sites, or their start-ups have been delayed. This has had a strong impact on net sales and EBIT for the segment. 

The Carpentry Industry segment remained strong. Net sales remained at the level of the previous year, totaling MEUR 1.4, with EBIT remaining on a par with the reference period at MEUR 0.2.Demand in Norway has been weaker than expected. 

Net sales in the Supports segment weakened slightly from MEUR 0.9 to MEUR 0.8. EBIT also weakened from MEUR 0.1 in the reference year to MEUR -0.0. Market conditions in construction have deteriorated, and permits and start-ups throughout the construction industry have declined. 

In the Fasteners segment, net sales were on a slightly lower level than in the reference period at MEUR 0.6. EBIT of MEUR -0.0 was slightly better than the figure for the reference period of MEUR -0.1. In the technology industry market, there are many operators and competition for orders is fierce. 

There were no significant changes in the net sales of the Other segment. In the period under review, two associated companies, Ecosir Group Oy and Spectra Yhtiöt Oy, issued reports to the parent company. The profit/loss of the reported associated companies in the review period was MEUR -0.1 (MEUR -0.1), which is presented on a separate row in the Group's income statement.

 

INVESTMENTS AND FINANCING

The Group's liquidity was good and cash flow from business operations, MEUR 1.3, was positive (MEUR 4.6). The Group’s liquid assets were MEUR 13.7 (MEUR 14.1).

The Group’s gross capital expenditure in the review period closed was approximately MEUR 17.1 (MEUR 1.5). Investments were mainly targeted at corporate acquisitions. The Group’s equity ratio was 30.0% (32.0%) and interest-bearing net liabilities totaled MEUR 52.4 (MEUR 43.9). Interest-bearing net liabilities increased as a result of corporate acquisitions. Panostaja Oyj’s convertible subordinated loan amounted to MEUR 15 of the net liabilities (MEUR 15.0). The return on equity was -18.6% (-3.3 %) and the return on investment -2.1% (1.6%).

ADMINISTRATION AND GENERAL MEETING

Panostaja Oyj’s Annual General Meeting was held on January 29, 2013 in Tampere. Jukka Ala-Mello, Satu Eskelinen, Mikko Koskenkorva and Eero Eriksson were re-elected to Panostaja Oyj’s Board of Directors. Antero Virtanen and Jukka Terhonen were elected as new members. In the Board’s organizing meeting held immediately after the General Meeting, Jukka Ala-Mello was elected Chairman of the Board and Eero Eriksson as Vice Chairman. Authorized Public Accountant Markku Launis and Authorized Public Accountants PricewaterhouseCoopers Oy were selected as general chartered accountants, with Authorized Public Accountant Janne Rajalahti as the responsible public accountant. 

The General Meeting approved the closing of the November 1, 2011–October 31, 2012 accounts as well as the proposal by the Board to transfer the loss for the financial period to the profit funds and that capital repayment be paid at a rate of EUR 0.04 per share. The record date for the capital repayment was February 1, 2013, with the payment date being February 8, 2012. In addition, the General Meeting authorized the Board to decide, at its discretion, on the potential distribution of assets to shareholders, the company's financial status permitting, as distribution of assets from the invested unrestricted equity fund. The maximum distribution of assets performed on the basis of this authorization totals EUR 5,200,000. The authorization includes the right of the Board to decide on all other terms and conditions relating to the said asset distribution. The authorization will remain valid until the end of the next Annual General Meeting.

In addition, the General Meeting granted exemption from liability to the members of the Board and to the CEO. It was decided at the General Meeting that the Chairman of the Board be paid EUR 40,000 as an annual compensation for the term that begins at the end of the Meeting and ends at the end of the 2014 Annual General Meeting, and that the other members of the Board be paid an annual compensation of EUR 20,000. It was further resolved at the General Meeting that approximately 40% of the compensation remitted to the members of the Board be paid on the basis of the share issue authorization given to the Board, by issuing company shares to each Board member if the Board member does not own more than one percent of the company’s shares on the date of the General Meeting. If the holding of a Board member on the date of the General Meeting is over one percent of all company shares, the compensation will be paid in full in monetary form.  

The General Meeting authorized the Board of Directors to decide on the acquisition of the company’s own shares, so that the shares will be acquired in one or more installments and, based on this authorization, a maximum of 5,100,000 shares can be acquired, which corresponds to about 9.86% of all the company’s shares. By virtue of the authorization, the company’s own shares may be obtained using unrestricted equity only. 

The company’s own shares may be acquired at the price in public trade arranged by NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Oy on the date of acquisition or otherwise at the prevailing market price.  The Board of Directors will decide how the company’s own shares are to be acquired. The company’s own shares may be acquired not following the proportion of ownership of the shareholders (directed acquisition). The authorization shall be valid until July 29, 2014. 

The Board of Directors has not used the authorization granted by the Annual Meeting to acquire its own shares during the review period.

   

SHARE CAPITAL AND THE COMPANY’S OWN SHARES
 

At the close of the period under review, Panostaja Oyj’s share capital was EUR 5,568,681.60. The total number of shares is 51,733,110. 

The total number of shares held by the company at the end of the period under review was 539,910 individual shares (at the beginning of period under review: 552,566). The number of the company's own shares corresponded to 1.1% of the number of shares and votes at the end of the entire review period. 

In accordance with the decisions by the General Meeting on January 30, 2012 and by the Board, Panostaja Oyj relinquished a total of 12,656 individual shares as meeting compensation to the members of the Board on December 14, 2012. 

 

EQUITY CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED LOANS

The original share exchange rate is EUR 2.20, and the loan shares may be exchanged for no more than 6,818,181 company shares. The total number of loan shares is 300, and they are available for public trade on the Nasdaq OMX Helsinki stock exchange. The share exchange rate will be entered into the company’s invested unrestricted equity fund. 

 

NEAR-FUTURE RISKS AND FACTORS OF UNCERTAINTY

The most significant risks of Panostaja Group have been described in the financial statements. The near-future risks the Group faces are mainly tied to the uncertainty resulting from the crisis in the eurozone and the global economic situation as well as their potential impact on achieving the goals set for the various segments. The instability of the overall economic situation has led to a decline in customer demand as well as the postponement of investments, particularly in segments serving the technology sector, which may result in a need for consolidated goodwill write-downs. In the current financial period, credit loss risks continue to represent a significant uncertainty factor in some of the segments. This risk is increased by the tightening of credit issue to SMEs. The weakening in financial market liquidity and the tightening on credit may hamper the realization of corporate acquisitions and the availability of finance for working capital.  As Panostaja's financing situation is currently stable and its loan portfolio is distributed across several different parties, the potentially negative impact that an expansion of the crisis in the eurozone might have on the financial market will not jeopardize Panostaja's operations. 

 

EVENTS AFTER THE REVIEW PERIOD

 

There are no major events to report.   

 

PROSPECTS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE FINANCIAL PERIOD  

In accordance with its business strategy, Panostaja Group focuses on increasing shareholder value in the segments owned by the Group. The development of shareholder value will be constantly monitored as part of a changing operating environment, and decisions on the development or divestment of business areas will be made in order to maximize the shareholder value. Active development of shareholder value, the effective allocation of capital and financial opportunities create a solid foundation for operational expansion. The need for ownership arrangements in SMEs enables both expansion into new segments and growth in existing ones. 

Economic prospects in the fields of the existing segments are strongly tied to the prospects of customer enterprises. The current economic prospects remain uncertain, and the growth forecast has generally had to be cut due to the credit crisis in the eurozone and decelerated economic growth. In the various segments of Panostaja Group, the prospects still vary from cautiously positive to slightly pessimistic. The challenges in the forecastability of the technology industry or weakening prospects may create a need for consolidated goodwill write-downs and, especially in Takoma’s operating environment, uncertainty continues, with set targets not having been reached. In part of Takoma's operating units co-operation negotiations has been started on January 28, 2013, in order to find ways to improve Takoma's competitive position.

The market still provides sufficient opportunities for corporate acquisitions, and Panostaja Group aims to implement its growth strategy by means of controlled acquisitions, particularly in present segments. In addition, the divestments of certain segments are planned to be executed in order to maximize owner value.

Panostaja keeps its result management unaltered. It is expected that net sales will increase and EBIT will improve in the 2013 financial period.
