TAPANI KIISKI, PRESIDENT AND CEO: STRONG ORDER BOOK, PROFITS WILL BE MADE IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE YEAR
In the second quarter of 2014, we received orders for two larger projects that had been in the pipeline for some time. After successfully gaining these transactions, we have reason to be satisfied with our order intake. Our order book also reached a good level.
Despite the highly publicized weak state of the European economy, Europe clearly remains our most important and largest market this year. The Russian market, traditionally very important for Raute, is still shrouded in uncertainty, due to its weak economic development and to the tense situation caused by the crisis in Ukraine. Projects that have been in the planning phase are still under negotiation in various market areas, and I am confident that our order book will develop favorably even in the latter part of the year. I do not, however, believe that the recent market development is an indication of a real change in the market situation. It’s really about projects that have been in planning for a long time entering the realization phase. It is also worth noting the low number of single, mid-sized, complete machine line projects. Brisk demand for technology services, on the other hand, indicates a high level of production among most of our customers.
In line with the scheduling of the order book, our second-quarter net sales grew from the very low level of the first quarter, and we achieved a positive result corresponding to the level of net sales in the second quarter. Thanks to the new orders we have received, our net sales will grow clearly in the second half of 2014, and, in keeping with our earlier estimates, our result will improve. In early June, the first Dragon peeling lines that we developed for the Chinese market were started up successfully. Although right now the lines have little bearing on our net sales, they have opened the door to future opportunities, and our expectations are high.
A significant part of our order book will be recognized in the latter half of the year, and successfully seeing it through will be a challenge for our organization in all areas of our operations. In the second half of 2012 we faced a similar workload, and based on our performance then, I am confident that our professional and committed personnel will succeed this time, too. We also do not see any significant technological risks in our new orders. Accordingly, we will achieve the growth in net sales and profit in line with our estimates.
SECOND QUARTER OF 2014
Order intake and order book
The order intake in the second quarter, EUR 51 million (MEUR 24), was at a good level. Technology services accounted for EUR 15 million (MEUR 9) of the order intake.
The new orders included two projects aimed at boosting production capacity in Poland. More than EUR 8 million worth of equipment will be delivered for the first phase of a new softwood plywood mill being built beside the company Paged’s plywood mill in Morag, Poland. An order worth roughly EUR 23 million for machinery and equipment required for producing laminated veneer lumber (LVL) will be delivered to Steico’s future LVL mill in Czarna Woda, Poland.
Other major new orders included 18 veneer analyzers based on machine vision and moisture analysis technology for UPM Kymmene Wood. It is the largest single order ever received by Raute’s Mecano unit in Kajaani, Finland.
The order book grew during the second quarter by EUR 31 million and was more than double the level of the comparison period, amounting to EUR 59 million at the end of the period (MEUR 40).
Net sales
Second-quarter net sales amounted to EUR 20.3 million (MEUR 19.8).
Technology services accounted for 44 percent of the Group’s total net sales (42%).
Result and profitability
Operating profit for the second quarter was EUR 0.6 million positive (MEUR 0.3 negative) and accounted for +3 percent (-1%) of net sales. The profit was EUR 0.5 million positive (MEUR 0.2 negative). Earnings per share were EUR +0.12 (EUR -0.05).
The Group’s profitability reflects the level of net sales.
RAUTE CORPORATION – INTERIM REPORT JANUARY 1 – JUNE 30, 2014
BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT
Market situation in customer industries
Raute’s customers in the veneer, plywood and LVL (Laminated Veneer Lumber) industries are engaged in the manufacture of wood products used in investment commodities and are thus highly affected by fluctuations in construction, housing-related consumption, international trade, and transportation.
The situation in the global economy and the financial markets in the first half of 2014 has not changed considerably with respect to Raute or Raute’s customer base. The uncertainty and tension persisted. In North America, the upswing in the construction market has continued, as it has in some parts of Europe. Russia’s economic situation remained weak, which has been reflected in, for example, low investment volumes and the weakening ruble – even before the crisis in Ukraine. The uncertainty caused by the crisis in Ukraine has weakened the situation further.
Despite the unsettled market situation, the production volumes and capacity utilization rates of Raute’s customers have mainly been at a good level, and their operations have been profitable. As a result of the above-mentioned uncertainty, however, the order books are often short, which means the situation is not conducive to realizing significant investments. The significant orders received by Raute in the second quarter are the result of long-term groundwork.
Demand for wood products technology and technology services
A few large projects in Raute’s customer base that had been in the planning phases were initiated in the second quarter. Where Russia is concerned, the concrete reason for some projects being delayed is the uncertainty arising from the situation in Ukraine. A number of smaller projects involving single production lines and modernizations have also been postponed. It is difficult to forecast when demand in the Russian market will recover so as to generate concrete orders. In other market areas, plans are being made to realize projects as usual.
Demand for maintenance and spare parts services continued at a good level. This bears testimony to the fact that the utilization rates of Raute’s customers’ production facilities remained, for the most part, good.
ORDER INTAKE AND ORDER BOOK
Raute serves the wood products industry with a full-service concept based on service that encompasses the entire life cycle of the delivered equipment. Raute’s business consists of project deliveries and technology services. Project deliveries comprise complete production machinery for new mills, production lines and individual machines and equipment. Additionally, Raute’s full-service concept includes comprehensive technology services ranging from spare parts deliveries to regular maintenance and equipment modernizations, as well as consulting, training and reconditioned machinery.
During the reporting period, order intake, EUR 67 million (MEUR 34), was nearly double that of the comparison period. The second quarter accounted for EUR 51 million of the order intake.
Of the new orders, 69 percent came from Europe (28%), 18 percent from Russia (28%), 8 percent from North America (26%), 3 percent from South America (13%) and 2 percent from Asia-Pacific (5%). The strong fluctuations in the distribution of new orders between the various market areas are typical for project-focused business.
Among the new orders were two projects aimed at boosting production capacity in Poland. More than EUR 8 million worth of equipment will be delivered for a new softwood plywood mill being built beside the company Paged’s plywood mill in Morag, Poland. An order worth roughly EUR 23 million for machinery and equipment required for producing laminated veneer lumber (LVL) will be delivered to the German company Steico’s future LVL mill in Czarna Woda, Poland.
Other major new orders included 18 veneer analyzers based on machine vision and moisture analysis technology for UPM Kymmene Wood. It is the largest single order ever received by Raute’s Mecano unit in Kajaani, Finland.
Order intake in technology services amounted to EUR 21 million (MEUR 18), an increase of 17 percent on the comparison period. The growth resulted primarily from modernization orders.
The order book grew during the reporting period by EUR 31 million, amounting to EUR 59 million at the end of the period (MEUR 40).
COMPETITIVE POSITION
Raute’s competitive position has remained good. Raute’s solutions help customers in securing their delivery and service capabilities throughout the life cycle of the equipment or service offered by Raute. In such investments, the supplier’s overall expertise and extensive and diverse technology offering play a key role. The competitive edge provided by Raute is also a major draw when customers select their cooperation partners. Raute’s strong financial position and long-term dedication to serving selected customer industries also enhance its credibility and improve its competitive position as a company that carries out long-term investment projects.
NET SALES
Net sales for the reporting period totaled EUR 35.3 million (MEUR 43.2), down 18 percent on the comparison period. The decline resulted from the low order intake at the end of 2013 and at the start of the reporting period, and from the scheduling of the order book.
Of the total net sales for the reporting period, Europe accounted for 43 percent (47%), South America for 20 percent (24%), Russia for 17 percent (15%), North America for 17 percent (10%), and Asia-Pacific for 3 percent (5%).
Technology services accounted for 45 percent (33%) and EUR 16.1 million (MEUR 14.4) of the Group’s total net sales during the period. Technology services recorded net sales growth of 12 percent on the comparison period, mainly due to modernizations.
RESULT AND PROFITABILITY
Operating profit for the reporting period was EUR 1.3 million negative (MEUR 0.6 positive) and accounted for -4 percent of net sales (1%). The negative operating profit was due to low net sales in the first quarter.
The profit before tax for the reporting period was EUR 1.3 million negative (MEUR 0.8 positive). The profit for the reporting period was EUR 1.1 million negative (MEUR 0.7 positive). Earnings per share (undiluted) were EUR -0.27 (EUR +0.16).
CASH FLOW AND BALANCE SHEET
The Group’s financial position remained good. At the end of the reporting period, gearing was -39 percent (-49%) and the equity ratio 57 percent (53%). Fluctuations in balance sheet working capital items and the key figures based on them are due to differences in the timing of customer payments and the cost accumulation from project deliveries, which is typical of the project business.
The Group’s cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR 12.4 million (MEUR 19.8) at the end of the reporting period. Operating cash flow was EUR 4.1 million positive (MEUR 6.2 positive). Cash flow from investment activities totaled EUR 0.7 million negative (MEUR 1.2 negative). Cash flow from financing activities was EUR 3.6 million negative (MEUR 4.7 negative), including dividend payments and distribution of funds from non-restricted equity of EUR 2.0 million and debt repayments of EUR 1.6 million.
Interest-bearing liabilities amounted to EUR 4.3 million (MEUR 8.6) at the end of the reporting period.
The parent company Raute Corporation has a EUR 10 million commercial paper program, which allows the company to issue commercial papers maturing in less than one year.
The parent company Raute Corporation is prepared for future working capital needs and has long-term credit facility agreements with three Nordic banks totaling EUR 23.0 million. The main covenants for the credit facility are an equity ratio of >30% and gearing of <100%. Of the credit facility, EUR 17 million remained unused at the end of the reporting period.

The eight engineers who worked in the unit transferred to the employ of Comatec as senior employees as of April 1, 2014.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Raute Corporation complies with the Finnish Corporate Governance Code 2010 for listed companies issued by the Securities Market Association on June 15, 2010.
Raute deviates from the Code’s recommendation 22 on appointing members to the Appointments Committee in that one member to the Committee is elected from outside the Board of Directors, as per the company’s Administrative Instructions, from among the representatives of major shareholders who have significant voting rights. The Board views this exception as justified, taking into consideration the company’s ownership structure and the possibility to consider the expectations of major shareholders as early as in the preparation phase of selecting members of the Board of Directors.

AUDITOR
At the Annual General Meeting on March 31, 2014, the authorized public accounting company PricewaterhouseCoopers was chosen as auditor, with Authorized Public Accountant Janne Rajalahti as the principal auditor.
BUSINESS RISKS
Risks in the near term are driven by the global economic situation and the uncertainty concerning the development of the financial markets. During the reporting period, there were no essential changes in the business risks described in the 2013 Board of Directors’ Report and Financial Statements.
The most significant risks for Raute in the near term are related to the development of net sales and profitability. The heavy workload at the end of the year in all of Raute’s manufacturing units as a result of the scheduling of the order book will increase cost, scheduling and quality risks. The continuing crisis in Ukraine has contributed to the uncertainty surrounding the realization of new investments in Russia in the near future.
OUTLOOK FOR 2014
Raute’s business operations are characterized by the sensitivity of investment commodity demand to cyclical fluctuations in the global economy and the financial markets.
No changes have occurred in Raute’s profit outlook for the whole of 2014. Based on the order book and ongoing negotiations, Raute’s net sales are expected to grow in 2014 and operating profit to improve from 2013.

Raute Corporation's Interim financial report for January 1 - June 30, 2014 has been prepared in accordance with standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The Interim financial report does not contain full notes and other information presented in the financial statements, and therefore the Interim financial report should be read in conjunction with the Financial statements published for 2013.
Raute Corporation's Interim financial report for January 1 - June 30, 2014 has been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards, IFRS, accepted for application in the EU.

The impact of the new and revised standards has been presented in the Annual financial statements for 2013. The adoption of these standards has not had an impact on the Interim financial report.
All of the figures presented in the Interim financial report are in thousand euro, unless otherwise stated. Due to the rounding of the figures in the financial statement tables, the sums of figures may deviate from the sum total presented in the table. Figures in parentheses refer to the corresponding figures in the comparison period.
The preparation of Interim financial report in conformity with IFRS standards requires management to make certain critical accounting estimates and to exercise its judgment in applying the Group's accounting policies.

The actual results may differ from these estimates.

| technology services, which are treated as long-term projects. The rest of the net sales is comprised of technology services | ||||||
| provided to the wood products industry such as spare parts and maintenance services as well as services provided to the | ||||||

| percent. At the end of the period, the Group had two customers (2), whose customized share of the Group's net sales | ||||||
| temporarily exceeded ten percent. The total share of these customers was 24 percent. | ||||||
