Marko Saarelainen, President and CEO of Honkarakenne Oyj, in connection with the interim report:
”Net sales saw a year-on-year decline in both Finland and Russia. In the case of Russia, net sales in 2015 will be mainly generated in the fourth quarter. Net sales in Global Markets developed well, largely thanks to a major project sale in Kenya.
In Finland, we have engaged in long-term development of our detached house products. We continued these efforts in 2015 at the Vantaa Housing Fair, where we unveiled the Savukvartsi house. It is the flagship model in our Savukvartsi collection, which is especially designed for compact urban living on small plots. Towards the end of the fair, we also launched our new modular Pala collection. Our detached house sales have seen substantial growth, but have not as yet offset the decline in holiday home sales.
The market remained challenging in Russia & CIS, and third-quarter net sales were weaker than in the previous year. However, the Russian order book is currently larger than it was a year earlier. In that respect, the situation in Russia has returned to normal.
The trend in net sales in Global Markets was satisfactory. The major reason behind this was a project sale to Kenya, whose deliveries will still continue during the fourth quarter.”

At the end of September, the Group's order book stood at MEUR 16.3. On the corresponding period of the previous year it amounted to MEUR 15.9.
TRENDS IN PROFIT AND PROFITABILITY
The operating result for the January-September period was MEUR -1.0 (MEUR -1.9) and the result before taxes was MEUR -1.4 (MEUR -2.1).
The operating result was impacted by tighter cost competition in all markets.
FINANCING AND INVESTMENTS
The financial position of the Group remained satisfactory during the report period. The equity ratio stood at 34 % (35 %) and net financial liabilities at MEUR 7.1 (MEUR 7.9). MEUR 1.7 (MEUR 2.4) of the financial liabilities carries a 30 % equity ratio covenant term. Group liquid assets totalled MEUR 1.1 (MEUR 1.3).

The Group’s capital expenditure on fixed assets totalled MEUR 0.0 (MEUR 1.0).
MARKET TRENDS
The RTS expect that the construction of 6,400 detached homes will be begun this year in Finland. According to a report commissioned by RTS Oy, the Finnish log house production is expected to decline by 5 % compared to the previous year.
PRODUCTS AND MARKETING
In Finland & Baltics, the main focus in the third quarter was on developing sales of detached houses. At the Vantaa Housing Fair, Honkarakenne launched the Savukvartsi collection, which is especially designed for small urban plots. In addition, towards the end of the fair, Honkarakenne unveiled the new modular Pala collection, whose modifiability facilitates clients’ house design. Detached house sales promotion efforts are bearing fruit, with sales seeing substantial growth in 2015.
In Russia & CIS, the market situation remained challenging and third-quarter net sales fell short of the previous year. That said, in spite of the challenging situation, the Russian order book was at a better level at the end of the third quarter than a year earlier. In that respect, the situation has returned to normal.
In Global Markets, the main focus was on a project delivery to Kenya. Sales development measures in China continued.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
In the January-September period, the Group's R&D expenditure totalled MEUR 0.3 (MEUR 0.4), representing 0.9 % of net sales (1.1 %). The Group did not capitalise any development expenditure during the report period.

On the basis of the negotiations under the act on co-operation within undertakings that were concluded in December 2014, the company is authorised to temporarily lay off clerical and managerial employees for a maximum of 90 days until the end of December 2015.
As a result of negotiations under the act on co-operation within undertakings carried out during the third quarter of 2015, the company is authorised to temporarily lay off workers for 90 days until the end of May 2016.
CHANGE IN MANAGEMENT

Mika Koivisto, former Vice President of Business Area Finland and Peter Morinov, former Vice President of Business Area Russia and CIS, moved to Sales Manager positions inside the company but did not continue as members of the company’s management team.

Marko Saarelainen has served as the managing director of Honka's subsidiary Honka Japan for almost 20 years.
LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
In the second quarter of 2013, the Board of Directors decided on a long-term share-based incentive plan for members of the Executive Group. The performance period of the new plan began on 1 January 2013 and will end on 31 December 2016. The potential reward for the performance period is based on the cumulative earnings per share (EPS) for 2013 - 2016 and on the average return on capital employed (ROCE) for 2013 - 2016. Any rewards for the performance period 2013 - 2016 will be paid partly as B shares and partly in cash in 2017. The rewards to be paid on the basis of the performance period will correspond to a total maximum of about 340,000 B shares, including the amount to be paid in cash.
During the first three quarters of the year the amount of allocated shares decreased by 11,796 (+3,361) shares. These allocated shares are recognized as follows: -29 (6) thousand euros employee benefit expenses, 2 (0) thousand euros in taxes and in deferred tax assets and -19 (5) thousand euros directly in retained earnings.
