GROUP
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
Panostaja Group's net turnover for the quarter just ended was EUR 28.8 million
(EUR 26.0 million). Growth in net turnover resulted from acquisitions made
during the previous financial year, accounting for EUR 4.5 million of the
turnover for the reporting period. Turnover for the Group's largest segment in
terms of turnover (Wholesale Trade) during the first quarter fell by EUR -0.8
million, as that segment's corporate customers adjusted their purchases to the
poorer levels of demand. The fall in turnover for the joinery industry segment
(EUR -0.6 million) was affected by the slowdown in (private) house building.
The Group's operating loss was EUR -0.6 million (EUR 0.5 million), while profit
before taxes was EUR -1.0 million (EUR 0.2 million). The operating margin was
-2.0% (2.1%). The speedy downturn in the global economy weakened the Group's
profitability despite the corrective measures taken. The normal season
fluctuation associated with Panostaja's reporting periods increased because
several corporate customers discontinued their activities around the end of the
year. Profitability was mainly down in the Other Business segment, where the
operating loss grew by EUR -0.8 million. Most of the increase in that segment's
loss was due to the investment in Lukkoexpert Security Oy's enterprise resource
planning system, whose delay slowed down the completion of the company's
delivery projects and delayed billing for them.
The Group's net financial expenditure was about EUR -0.4 million (EUR 0.4
million). It employed an average of 761 (727) staff during the reporting period.
INVESTMENTS AND FINANCING
The Group's gross capital expenditure during the first quarter was EUR 2.8
million (EUR 8.8 million). The most important investment during the reporting
period was the acquisition of Puztec Oy.
The Group's cash flow during the reporting period fell by EUR -0.4 million. Its
liquidity, despite negative cash flow and the investments made, was good.
Furthermore, storage development work is under way in the Group, being organised
by Vallog Oy, which aims at optimising the value of inventories in Panostaja's
five business segments (subgroups). The Group's cash and cash equivalents and
short-term investments of EUR 40.5 million (EUR 33.9 million) enabled the
realisation of the growth strategy.
The Group's equity ratio was 33.0% (34.5%) and interest-bearing net liabilities
stood at EUR 21.0 million (EUR 18.3 million). Panostaja Oyj's convertible
subordinated loan accounted for EUR 17.2 million (EUR 18.7 million) of the net
liabilities.
The Annual General Meeting on 26 January 2009 adopted a proposal on a
distribution of dividends. Dividends were distributed at EUR 0.12 per share. The
record date for dividend distribution was 29 January 2009 and the payment date
would be from 5 February 2009. A total of EUR 5.6 million was paid in dividends
to the parent shareholders.
CHANGES TO THE GROUP STRUCTURE
During the reporting period Panostaja Oyj bought the entire share capital of
Puztec Oy, which supplies tube conveyor systems. A total of 64% of the share
capital became owned by Panostaja on 2 January 2009 and the rest will transfer
by 1 May 2009. With the acquisition, Panostaja expanded its business segment
that specialises in environmental technology. Puztec Oy designs, manufactures
and markets community and bio-waste tube conveyor systems and disposal shafts.
The company's turnover in the financial year 2008 was around EUR 2 million and
its premises are located in Kivenlahti, in Espoo.
In the reporting period Panostaja Oyj reported that Digital Printing Services
was a new segment. It is formed from the Kopijyvä Group. Kopijyvä Oy is one of
Finland's biggest companies providing digital printing services. In the
financial year 2008 the Kopijyvä Group was reported as part of the Other
Business segment. Following the change, Panostaja's six business segments are
now: Industrial Services, the Joinery Industry, Wholesale Trade, Takoma, Digital
Printing Services, and Other Business.
In the preliminary ruling on the Equity Rebate in respect of Takoma Oyj shares
in spring 2008, the Tax Office for Major Corporations decided on the basis of an
overall assessment that Panostaja was a capital investor (venture capital
company) within the meaning of section 6 of the Finnish Business Tax Act. In its
regular taxation practices in 2007 the Tax Office for Major Corporations
regarded Panostaja Oy as the capital investor alluded to and taxed the company
on certain profits from the sale of shares in fixed assets.
Panostaja Oyj disputes the interpretation by the tax authorities and during the
reporting period submitted a claim for rectification over the matter to the Tax
Rectification Board.
As part of its chosen strategy for growth and focus on core activities,
Panostaja Oyj on 23 October 2008 announced that it was exploring the possible
cash realisation of the properties owned by the Group, although the Group's
current cash flows are adequate for creating growth. The exploratory work was
meant to end in December 2008, but because of the situation in the financial
markets, it will continue into 2009.
EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO THE REPORTING PERIOD
None.
ADMINISTRATION, ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING AND MANAGEMENT
At an extraordinary general meeting on 10 November 2008 it was decided to
combine the A and B share series into one. At the same time, Panostaja Oyj
organised a bonus share issue for A series shareholders, in which one (1) new
Panostaja share would be issued free for every 13 A shares held. After the
series were combined and after the share issue an A series shareholder would
thus own 14 Panostaja shares for each 13 A shares previously held, instead of
the A shares. Each share would now carry one vote and the same shareholder
rights. The new shares were entered in the Trade Register on 14 November 2008
and trading in the combined shares began the same day.
At the extraordinary general meeting on 10 November 2008 it was decided to amend
the Articles of Association. The new Articles of Association were recorded in
the Trade register on 14 November 2008.
Panostaja Oyj's Annual General Meeting was held on 16 January 2009. Mr. Matti
Koskenkorva, Mr. Jukka Ala-Mello, Mr. Hannu Tarkkonen, Mr. Hannu Martikainen and
Mr. Hannu Ketola were re-elected to Panostaja Oyj's Board of Directors. As soon
as the Annual General Meeting was concluded, the Board of Directors convened for
their organisational meeting and appointed Mr. Matti Koskenkorva Chairman of the
Board and Mr. Jukka Ala-Mello Deputy Chairman of the Board. As auditors, the AGM
elected Mr. Eero Suomala, APA, and PricewaterhouseCoopers Oy, APA, with Mr.
Janne Rajalahti, APA, as the responsible auditor.
The AGM approved the financial statements presented for the financial year 1
November 2007 - 31 October 2008 and the Board's proposal to transfer the profit
for the period to retained earnings and to distribute EUR 0.12 per share in
dividends. The record date for dividend distribution was 29 January 2009 and the
payment date was as from 5 February 2009. In addition, the AGM granted discharge
in respect of the members of the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive
Officer.
In addition, the Annual General Meeting revoked the authorisation regarding the
acquisition of its own shares given at its General Meeting on 18 December 2007
and authorised the Board of Directors to decide on the acquisition of its own
shares, with the maximum number to be acquired set at 4,740,311 or less, which,
together with the other shares held by or pledged to the company or its
subsidiaries, would be a maximum of one tenth of all the company shares, i.e.
4,740,311.
The shares are to be acquired at the going market price in public trading
organised by NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Oy not in proportion to shareholders' holdings.
The acquisition of shares will be consistent with NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Oy and APK
Finnish Central Securities Depository rules.
The authorisation will be in effect for 18 months from the date it was
announced.
The Board exercised the authority it was given at the General Meeting of 18
December 2007 and acquired 222,109 of the company's own shares during the
reporting period. It also received 37,160 of the company's own shares in the
bonus share issue organised when the share series were combined.
SHARE CAPITAL AND OWN SHARES
At the end of the reporting period, Panostaja Oyj's share capital stood at EUR
5,529,081.60. The numbers of shares amounted to 47,403,110.
In accordance with the decisions taken at the AGM on 18 December 2007 and by the
Board of Directors, on 19 December 2008 Panostaja Oyj distributed a total of
7,430 shares to the Board members as payment of their attendance allowance.
The number of own shares held by the company at the end of the reporting period
was 991,590. The number of own shares was equivalent to 2.1% of the total number
of shares and votes at the end of the reporting period.
SUBORDINATED LOAN
The amount of the 2006 convertible subordinated loan outstanding at the end of
the reporting period was EUR 17,212,500, entitling holders to subscribe for a
total of 10,125,000 new shares. The convertible subordinated loan was not used
to subscribe for any new shares during the reporting period.
SHARE PERFORMANCE AND HOLDINGS
Panostaja Oyj share prices varied during the reporting period between EUR 1.00
and EUR 1.25. The equity turnover for shares was 2,669,671, equivalent to 5.9%
of the share capital. The price at the end of January was EUR 1.01. The market
value of the company's share capital was EUR 47.9 million at the end of January,
when the company had 3,005 (1,962) shareholders.
Panostaja Oyj's holdings altered when the new (shares) issued in the bonus issue
were recorded in the Trade Register. On 14 November Panostaja Oy received the
following notifications in connection with the change in share ownership:
Matti Koskenkorva's holding went under 15% of the votes carried by the shares of
Panostaja Oyj. His holding is 6,124,453 shares, which is 12.9% of Panostaja
Oyj's equity capital and votes. Maija Koskenkorva's holding exceeded 10% of the
votes carried by the shares of Panostaja Oyj. Her holding is 5,071,742 shares,
which is 10.7% of Panostaja Oyj's equity capital and votes. Olli Halmevuo's
holding went under 5% of the votes carried by the shares of Panostaja Oyj. His
holding is 2,013,715 shares, which is 4.2% of Panostaja Oyj's equity capital and
votes.
SHORT-TERM RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Panostaja Group's most significant risks were described in the previous
financial statements. Short-term risks relate in particular to the successful
integration of acquired companies. The dramatic economic downturn is causing
customer demand to weaken and a risk of bad debts in some segments.
OUTLOOK FOR THE REST OF THE FINANCIAL YEAR
The Panostaja Group will continue to focus on the business idea in line with its
core business strategy and on the development of existing business areas. The
retirement of the baby-boomers, the ever more dramatic changes in the business
environment and internationalisation will result in a large number of business
purchases over the next few years. Panostaja's operating conditions, available
capital resources and liquid assets are a good basis for intense expansion of
operations. The increasing number of SMEs operating in traditional industries
will enable both further expansion into new business areas and growth in
existing business areas.
The dramatic global economic downturn is having its effect on Finland.
Expectations for the current business sectors are closely tied to the economic
outlook for corporate customers. The prospects for the different business areas
in the Panostaja Group vary from weakening to cautiously positive. The downturn
in the building sector is having an effect on some of the Panostaja Group
business areas, although the company has begun to take corrective action in good
time. The investments in reporting and monitoring systems made in the previous
financial year will make us more able to respond and react. The current economic
climate is also an opportunity for acquisitions and the Panostaja Group strategy
for growth is intended to be realised through controlled acquisitions,
especially in existing business areas. The Group's turnover and profit this
financial year are expected to surpass that for the previous financial year,
despite a weaker first quarter.
