Helsinki, Finland, 2015-08-28 07:45 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VAAHTO GROUP PLC OYJ’S INTERIM REPORT, AUGUST 28, 2015 AT 8:45
VAAHTO GROUP INTERIM REPORT for January 1 – June 30, 2015
Development of business operations
Turnover from Vaahto Group’s continuing operations for the period from January 1 to June 30, 2015 was 10.0M euros (reference period: 8.8M euros) and the operating loss from continuing operations 1.6M euros (0.2M euros).
The turnover increased over the reference period by 1.8M euros thanks to increased orders. The net margins were low, however. The operating result fell by 1.4M euros. The modest operating result was due to the market situation, which remained challenging, and the higher-than-expected cost of some delivery projects. The operating result was further undermined by the fact that the Group’s overhead expenses were allocated to notably reduced operations. The overhead expenses are allocated in their entirety to the continuing operations, not to discontinued operations. On the other hand, the operating result of reference period was positively impacted by the completion of a significant project at a higher-than-expected margin.
The order book for the Group’s continuing operations as of June 30, 2015, totaled 10.7M euros (9.7M euros). Compared with the reference period, the orders grew by 1.0M euros.
In February, Vaahto Group Plc Oyj announced an arrangement concluded with its key lenders, intended to strengthen the Company’s financial position and secure its continued operation. With this agreement, the Company’s financiers committed to waive loans totaling 3.9M euros; to convert loan receivables in the amount of 1.2M euros into a subordinated loan; and to grant a grace period for their receivables, continuing until June 30, 2016. At the same time, Vaahto Group Plc Oyj carried out a private placement issuing 10,000,000 new shares at the price of 0.25 euros per share.
As part of the financial stabilization program, the Group has adopted a cost and operations adjustment plan aimed at reducing annual expenditure by more than 0.8M euros. The adjustment plan is to be implemented in the course of 2015 and is expected to cause a one-time adjustment cost of 0.4M euros. The plan is moving ahead as planned, with the cost savings projected to become evident toward the end of 2015 and have a full impact at the beginning of 2016. The Group’s financial situation continues to be difficult, however, and is further challenged by project deliveries requiring more working capital than anticipated. The company is involved in active negotiations concerning remarkable corporate and financial arrangements. More information in chapter “Developments since the end of the review period”
Reporting of business operations
In line with the strategy set out by the Vaahto Group Board of Directors, the Group has this year remained focused on the Process Technology business operations.
AP-Tela Oy was classified as a discontinued operation in the 2014 financial year. All business operations of the Vaahto Paper Technology segment have thus been either sold or classified as discontinued operations. The Vaahto Group reports its business operations as one segment, consisting of Vaahto Process Technology operations.
The negotiations concerning AP-Tela have not yet resulted in a sale, and the Board of Vaahto Group Plc Oyj will reassess the situation later this year.
The effect of discontinued operations on profit/loss is shown on its own line, separate from continued operations. No Group administration costs are allocated to the discontinued operations, which means that these costs are fully borne by the continued operations. As the volume of the continued operations has shrunk, the relative burden of these costs on the continued operations has increased.
Vaahto Process Technology
The operations of Vaahto Process Technology encompass the continuing operations of the Company in their entirety. The turnover for the period from January 1 to June 30, 2015, came to 10.0M euros (8.8M euros), and the operating loss was 1.6M euros (0.2M euros for the reference period).
The operations of Vaahto Process Technology are divided into two business units: Japrotek Vessels and Stelzer Mixing Technology. Japrotek Vessels specializes in delivering complete process equipment for demanding applications along with tank–agitator combinations. Stelzer Mixing Technology is focused on agitator products for chemical and food-industry applications and seeks growth in new market areas.
In early 2015, the order book of Japrotek Vessels, the largest business unit within Vaahto Process Technology, was weaker than anticipated, and employer–employee co-determination negotiations were initiated in preparation for a reduction in workload and possible adjustment measures. Order intake increased slightly toward the end of the reporting period, but the order book for the current financial year remains more modest than projections. The challenging market situation in the first half of the year, together with the higher-than-expected cost of some delivery projects, place a burden on the liquidity of the unit. The investment outlook in the forest industry is expected to have a positive effect on the market situation.
The early months were challenging for Stelzer Mixing Technology, and the workforce was adjusted to the reduced workload. In early 2015, however, the order intake started to grow, and by the end of June, the order book had doubled in size from the beginning of the year. The challenge for the rest of the year is to realize the received orders as planned and maintain the positive order development.
Financing and liquidity
The cash flow from the Group’s business operations was -2.2M euros (0.8M euros), and the cash flow from investments -0.1M euros (-0.2M euros) during the period under review. Interest-bearing liabilities amounted to 8.4M euros (18.4M euros) at the end of the period under review. The Group’s consolidated balance-sheet total was 14.8M euros (13.3M euros).
On February 16, 2015, Vaahto Group Plc Oyj signed an agreement with its key financiers, according to which the lenders would waive loans totaling 3.9M euros, convert loan receivables in the amount of 1.2M euros into a subordinated loan and grant a grace period for their receivables until June 30, 2016. At the same time, Vaahto Group Plc Oyj carried out a private placement issuing 10,000,000 new shares at the price of 0.25 euros per share.
As part of the financial stabilization program, the Group has adopted a cost and operations adjustment plan aimed at reducing annual expenditure by more than 0.8M euros. The adjustment plan is to be implemented in the course of 2015 and is expected to cause a one-time adjustment cost of 0.4M euros. The expected cost reduction of 0.8M euros would have its full impact in 2016.
The Group’s weak result for the early months of the year, together with the challenging markets, greatly strain its liquidity. In the early months of 2015, orders of Japrotek Oy Ab, a Group subsidiary, were carried out with delays, with their production resources being overburdened in the first six months. This development has strained the Group’s working capital and has added to the cost. The Group’s financial situation remains extremely challenging and its working capital requires continuous monitoring. According to the Board’s current estimate, the working capital at its present level will suffice to cover the operations until the last quarter of 2015. The interim report continues to be in breach of an existing covenant, and the Company will seek assurance from its financiers that no consequences of the breach would arise for the Group. The company is involved in active negotiations concerning significant corporate and financial arrangements. The result of these negotiations will have a crucial impact to the financial situation and the future of Vaahto Group Plc Oyj.
The Group’s Board of Directors is involved in active negotiations with the main shareholders and lenders of the Group in order to secure its financial position.
Human resources
As of June 30, 2015, the average number of personnel employed by the Group in continuing operations was 137 (133).
The interim CEO of the Company from September 1, 2014, until March 31, 2015, was Mr. Topi Karppanen, M.Sc.; Mr. Kalle Rasinmäki, M.Sc. was nominated to serve as CEO from April 1, 2015.
Risks and uncertainty factors
The Group’s liquidity remains tight and involves significant risks. The working capital is under active monitoring through cash flow projections. According to the Group’s estimate, the current working capital will suffice to cover the operations until the last quarter of 2015. The company is involved in active negotiations concerning significant corporate and financial arrangements. The result of these negotiations will have a crucial impact to the financial situation and the future of Vaahto Group Plc Oyj.
Vaahto Group Plc Oyj has a pending dispute regarding the terms and conditions of an employment contract with a former CEO who has been dismissed. A lower court has approved an action brought by the former CEO against the Company. A provision for compensation in the amount specified in the court decision has been included in the 2014 financial statements. The Company has filed a complaint, but its appeal is still under consideration.
Private placement
On February 15, 2015, the Board of Directors of Vaahto Group Plc Oyj decided on a private placement, offering no more than 10,000,000 new shares for subscription. The shares were subscribed as follows: 3,000,000 shares by Mr. Mikko Laakkonen; 3,000,000 shares by HML Finance Oy; 3,000,000 shares by the Nemea Credit Opportunities Fund (a sub-fund of Nemea Alternative Investment Fund (SICAV) Ltd); and 1,000,000 shares by Lombard International SA’s PCP 34443. The issue price of all the shares issued was 0.25 euros per share. The investors subscribed all shares offered to them.
The subscription price was determined in the negotiations between the Company and the investors. The price was determined based on the Company’s financial situation and any alternative financing options. The shares were paid for in cash on February 18, 2015.
Vaahto Group Plc Oyj issued a prospectus approved by the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority on August 7, 2015, for the admission of the 10,000,000 new shares issued in the above placement, as well as the 2,000,000 shares issued according to the decision dated March 10, 2014, to trading on the NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Oy stock exchange. The trading began on August 12, 2015.
Equity capital
Group equity according to the 2014 financial statements was 8.6M euros to the negative. The arrangement completed with the financiers over the first quarter of 2015 had a positive effect on the equity. The arrangement included a waiver of loans in the amount of 3.9M euros, conversion of loan receivables of 1.2M euros into a subordinated loan, and new equity in the form of a private placement of 2.5M euros. As of June 30, 2015, the Group equity was negative 4.0M euros.
The parent company’s books include a subordinated loan of 1.175M euros granted by the Company’s financiers pursuant to Chapter 12 of the Companies Act. The loan bears an annual interest of five percent, accruing annually. The loan is due for repayment in its entirety in five years from the disbursement, i.e., in 2020. The loan capital, along with any accrued unpaid interest, may only be repaid according to the provisions of the Companies Act.
Japrotek Oy Ab’s first quarter of 2015 brought a loss, which resulted in negative equity for the Company. That loss can be attributed to the higher-than-expected cost of some delivery projects and a weaker-than-anticipated order book for the first quarter. The company took some immediate steps to improve the efficiency of its operations and initiated negotiations according to the Employer–Employee Cooperation Act to adjust its operations in line with weakened demand and market situation. The negotiations resulted in a decision to adjust the number of personnel as dictated by the financial situation and order intake in August 2015 at the earliest.
Authorization for a share issue
The general meeting of April 14, 2015, voted to authorize the Board of Directors to decide on the issue of new shares and options and other special entitlements to shares pursuant to Chapter 10, Section 1 of the Companies Act, in one or more installments. The maximum number of new shares that may be issued is 10,000,000, including shares issued on the basis of special entitlement. This authorization is valid until May 31, 2016, unless a general meeting amends or revokes the authorization before that date.
Projection for the January 1 – December 31, 2015 financial year
With the weaker-than-anticipated order book and result in the first half of the year, and the unusual amount of uncertainty connected with the second half-year projection, the Group management expects the result from continuing operations to be below that of the reference period.
Developments since the end of the review period
As part of the adjustment program and according to the decision of Vaahto Group Plc Oyj’s Board, the operations of the Lahti main office will be transferred to the office of Japrotek Oy Ab in Pietarsaari by August 30, 2015. The cost of this transfer is included in the estimated one-off cost of the adjustment program.
The company is involved in active negotiations concerning significant corporate and financial arrangements. The result of these negotiations will have a crucial impact to the financial situation and the future of Vaahto Group Plc Oyj. The negotiations are expected to be closed by September 2, 2015 and the result of the negotiations will be announced without delay.
