Important comments to the unaudited operating results of 9 months of OEG
Impact of the business environment, trends and development activities:
The third quarter was dominated by the implementation of the Group's extensive
efficiency and restructuring programme.
The impact of the overall economic slowdown and additional administrative
restrictions (smoking bans in casinos in Estonia and Lithuania and obligation to
register casino customers in Lithuania) on the Group operations remained strong.
July and August turned out to be the most difficult months in the operations of
the Group in recent years.
The operating results of September showed that the growth trend has begun, with
the results reaching the level of spring 2008.
The growth trend continued more strongly in October when the sales results of
the Group were comparable with those of December 2007, i.e. before the start of
the economic slowdown.
In terms of income, October was the most successful month of all time for the
Group companies in Ukraine, Poland, Belarus and Romania.
Overall, we expect the fourth quarter of 2008 to be the strongest quarter for
the whole year due to several key measures taken in the second and third quarter
aimed at restructuring our operations and increasing operating income.
Development activities continued in the third quarter, as a result of which the
Group opened 8 new casinos and recorded in the income statement 33.9 million
kroons (2.2 million euros) as non-capitalised expansion-related costs. In nine
months the Group opened a total of 19 new casinos and recorded in the income
statement 81 million kroons (5.2 million euros) as non-capitalised costs.
OEG will continue the fulfillment of the expansion and development targets.
Preliminary results of the implementation of the efficiency programme in the
third quarter:
Costs related to the closure of casinos and reduction of the number of employees
amounted to 16.7 million kroons (1.1 million euros) in the third quarter.
In nine months we have closed a total of 10 casinos that had negative cash flow,
including 8 in the third quarter. We expect these measures to increase our
profit from August until December by up to 30 million kroons (2 million euros).
In the course of restructuring during 2008, the Group has reduced the number of
employees by 288 positions (approximately 7%). The implementation of the
efficiency programme will continue in the fourth quarter, with the main focus
moving from the Baltic countries on Poland and Ukraine.
By the end of this year the Group plans to reduce the number of employees by 10%
in comparison with the beginning of the year. This is expected to cut costs by
37.5 million kroons (2.4 million euros) between May and December. We expect its
positive impact on our income statement in 2009 to reach 94 million kroons (6.0
million euros).
Measures taken in the second quarter to increase efficiency in Latvia had a
positive result already in the third quarter. The operating profit of the
Group's Latvian companies in the third quarter increased almost nine times in
comparison with the first quarter, from 2.2 million kroons (0.14 million euros)
to 20.1 million kroons (1.3 million euros).
