Order intake increased in the third quarter by 42.9 per cent to EUR 20.8 (14.5) million on the corresponding period in 2013. Our order backlog remained on a good level at EUR 15.7 (10.5) million in the third quarter of 2014, increasing 49.5 per cent from the corresponding period the previous year and slightly from the second quarter of 2014.
Market demand continued to improve during the third quarter. Demand is picking up especially in the telecommunication, transportation and building, construction and infrastructure industry markets.
The financial performance of the Australian unit was not satisfactory during the third quarter 2014 in spite of corrective actions undertaken. The market conditions have remained challenging in 2014. An impairment of EUR -0.5 million is recorded in the results of the third quarter of 2014 in the Australian business unit. Further corrective actions have been developed to improve the profitability. The focus is on generating more sales.
Exel Composites’ operating profit increased to EUR 2.4 million before the impairment (EUR 1.5 million before non-recurring items previous year) and to EUR 1.9 million after impairment (EUR 1.1 million after non-recurring items previous year) due to increased sales, efficiency improvement and better cost control. We continued to develop the Group’s operations in order to further enhance productivity and synergies across the units.

Financial performance
July – September 2014
The Group’s operating profit continued to develop positively in July – September 2014 due to increased sales, continued efficiency improvement, and better cost control.
The turnaround measures in Australia, including change in the operating model and transfer of Brisbane unit to Melbourne, have been completed.
However, the financial performance of the Australian unit was not satisfactory during the third quarter of 2014 in spite of corrective actions undertaken. The market conditions have remained challenging in 2014. An impairment of EUR -0.5 million is recorded in the results of the third quarter of 2014 in the Australian business unit. Additionally, deferred tax assets were reduced by EUR 0.4 million. Further corrective actions have been developed to improve the profitability. The focus is on generating more sales.
The Group’s operating profit in July – September 2014 was EUR 2.4 million before impairment and EUR 1.9 million after impairment (EUR 1.1 million including EUR -0.4 million non-recurring items) or 9.9 (6.3) per cent of net sales.
January – September 2014
The Group’s operating profit in January – September 2014 was EUR 6.8 million after impairment of EUR -0.5 million (EUR 3.4 million including EUR -0.4 million non-recurring items) million or 11.7 (6.5) per cent of net sales. The main reasons for the increase in the operating profit were increased sales, efficiency improvement and better cost control.
The Group’s net financial expenses in January – September 2014 were EUR -0.4 (-0.3) million. The Group’s profit before taxes was EUR 6.5 (3.1) million and profit after taxes EUR 4.2 (2.3) million.
Financial position
Net cash flow from operating activities was positive at EUR +6.9 (+4.9) million due to improved operating profit.

Cash flow before financing, but after capital expenditure, amounted to EUR 4.4 (3.0) million. The capital expenditure on fixed assets amounted to EUR 2.4 (1.9) million. Capital expenditure was financed with cash flow from business operations. At the end of the period under review, the Group’s liquid assets stood at EUR 10.8 (7.6) million.
The Group’s consolidated total assets at the end of the review period were EUR 53.8 (48.7) million.

Equity at the end of the third quarter of 2014 was EUR 28.6 (28.6) million and equity ratio 53.1 (58.9) per cent. The net gearing ratio was -3.5 (-1.6) per cent.
Research and development
Exel Composites has continued to develop several new customer-specific applications during the period under review, especially to the building and construction, machine industry, and transportation industry markets.

Health, safety and environment
Special attention is given to occupational health and safety in 2014. The Group is rolling out ISO 18001 standard over all sites.
Risks and uncertainties
The most significant near-term business risks are related to the general economic development, government regulations and financial crisis in the Euro area as well as to market demand. Continuing low demand in the Australian market may require further corrective actions which can have an impact on the profitability. The possible uncertainties in the Russian and East-European markets will have limited direct impact on Exel Composites.
Raw material prices, energy cost and other cost increases may continue to put pressure on profitability. The possible new European Community’s anti-dumping tariffs on Chinese glass fiber may have a negative effect on the result in terms of increased raw material prices. Currency rate changes, price competition and alternative competing materials may also have a negative effect on the result. The availability and cost of financing may continue to have an effect on the demand and increase the risk of credit losses.
Events after the review period
Exel Composites’ Board of Directors has adopted a new vision, strategy and long-term financial targets
The new vision states: “Exel Composites is an agile, innovative global composite company with world class operations providing superior customer experience”.
The Company’s new growth strategy focuses on accelerating growth in China, penetrating new applications and new market segments, creating a true global footprint and growing through new technologies. The Company will continue to develop world-class operations to differentiate from competitors. Acquisitions are targeted to boost growth and to cover market and technology white spots.
New long-term financial targets reflect our new growth strategy:
Growth: Turnover growth 2x average market growth
Profitability: Operating profit margin over 10 per cent of net sales
Capital efficiency: Return on capital employed over 20 per cent
Financial targets are considered over a business cycle. Acquisitions will influence overall growth and profitability targets.
Exel Composites aims to distribute some 40 per cent of net income in dividends as permitted by the financial structure and growth opportunities.
Near-term outlook
The market has stabilized and we can see positive signs in the Company’s key market segments. However, uncertainties relating to general growth prospects in the economy continue. The Company invests strongly in growth by reinforcing the organization, especially in sales, research and development and operations development. The Company will monitor the general market development and react with additional measures if needed. The Company is well-positioned to continue to grow profitably when the markets recover.

In addition, the management must exercise its judgement regarding the application of accounting policies. Since the estimates and assumptions are based on the views at the date of the Interim Report, they include risks and uncertainties. The actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions.
