Panostaja Oyj Interim report, 10 March 2010 at 10:00
PANOSTAJA GROUP INTERIM REPORT 1 NOV. 2009 - 31 JAN. 2010
- Net sales MEUR 29.0 (MEUR 28.8), growth 1%
- Operating loss MEUR -2.6 (MEUR -0.6)
- Earnings/share -3.0 cents (-2.0 cents)
- Equity per share 0.65 euros (0.76 euros)
- The equity ratio 33.0% (33.0%)
- The lengthening downturn in the technology industry and transfer of planned
Environmental Technology projects to the future had a negative impact on the
growing net sales of the Group.
- Profitability was reduced by the deterioration in the segments serving the
technology industry, operating loss in the Environmental Technology segment, and
one-time costs in the Safety segment.
- The turnover of Panostaja Group is still expected to increase from previous
financial year but the operating profit of the financial year is expected to be
lower than the operating profit of previous financial year.
- However the operating profit of the financial year is expected to clearly
surpass the operating profit of the previous financial year (EUR 0,1 million
without the divestment profit of the Group's real estate holdings).
The quarterly review has been prepared by observing the entry and appreciation
principles of the IFRS standards and in accordance with the same principles of
closing the accounts as with the final accounts in 2009, but not all the
requirements of the IAS 34 Quarterly Review standard have been observed in its
preparation.
FINANCIAL DEVELOPMENT
Panostaja Group
Panostaja Group's net sales were MEUR 29.0 (MEUR 28.8) during the quarterly
period ending. The growth in net sales resulted from the business acquisitions
realized during the previous financial period, the effect of which was MEUR 5.1
on the review period net sales. Net sales of the Group were weakened in
particular by the strong decline in the segments serving the technology industry
as well as the transfer of planned projects in the environmental industry
segment to the future.
The general recession that had started at the close of 2008 has not yet eased
for the time being. Of the Group's segments engaged in business, five exceeded
last year's net sales level and eight remained at the net sales level of last
year. Net sales rose in the following segments: Spare Parts for Motor Vehicles,
Digital Printing Services, Fittings, Value-Added Logistics and Safety. Net sales
declined in the following segments: Technochemical, Supports, Fasteners, the
Carpentry Industry, HEPAC Wholesale, Heat Treatment, Takoma and Environmental
Business.
The Group's operating loss was MEUR -2.6 (MEUR -0.6) and profit before
taxes was MEUR -3.0 (MEUR -1.0). The operating margin was -8.8%(-2.0%). The net
financing costs of the Group were approximately MEUR -0.5 (MEUR -0.4). The total
number of personnel in the Group during the review period was, on average, 826
(761) people. The profitability of the Group was improved by the growth in
operating profit in the Digital Printing Services and Spare Parts for Motor
Vehicles segments. Profitability was particularly weakened by the deterioration
in the profitability of the segments serving the technology industry - Takoma,
Value-Added Logistics and Heat Treatment - as well as the operating loss in the
Environmental Technology segment and in the Safety segment one-time costs caused
by the change of residence and the integration of operations.
Segment inspection
The net sales in the Safety segment increased from MEUR 3.1 to MEUR 4.5 with the
purchase of the Bewator company. Operating loss grew from MEUR -0.5 to MEUR
-0.7. Profitability deteriorated as a result of the integration of operations
and one-time costs caused by the change.
The net sales of HEPAC Wholesale remained on the level of the previous year -
MEUR 4.3 - and operating profit was MEUR 0.0. Net sales leaned towards
renovation construction with rebuilding being minimal.
The net sales of the Takoma segment declined from MEUR 4.6 to MEUR 2.5, and
operating profit dropped from MEUR 0.0 to a loss of MEUR -0.7. The vigorous
decline results from the strong deterioration in demand from technology industry
customers.
Net sales in the Digital Printing Services segment grew from MEUR 3.1 to MEUR
4.3 and operating profit from MEUR 0.3 to MEUR 0.4. This growth is explained by
the purchase of the Sokonet company and the new clientele. The profitability of
the segmentin was weakened by the one-time cost of moving to the new operational
premises in Jyväskylä and Joensuu.
Net sales in the Fittings segment grew from MEUR 2.6 to MEUR 2.8, but owing to
development measures, operating profit declined from MEUR 0.3 to MEUR 0.2. In
both construction and fixture Supports, customer demand is slowly recuperating.
Net sales in the Value-Added Logistics segment grew from MEUR 2.8 to MEUR 3.6,
but operating loss deteriorated from MEUR 0.0 to MEUR -0.4. Net sales were
increased by the corporate acquisition of CLO Pakkaukset Oy. Profitability was
weakened by the low volume of clients functioning in the technology industry.
Net sales in the Heat Treatment segment declined from MEUR 1.9 to MEUR 1.2 and
the MEUR 0.2 operating profit turned to MEUR -0.1 operating loss. Demand for
thermal treatment services is post-cyclical, and investments for new equipment
stock have been transferred to the future as a result of the recession.
Net sales in the Spare Parts for Motor Vehicles segment grew from MEUR 1.6 to
MEUR 1.9 and operating profit from MEUR 0.1 to MEUR 0.2. The fall in sales for
new vehicles has raised the demand for spare parts.
Net sales in the Environmental Technology segment declined from MEUR 1.4 to MEUR
0.8 and the operating loss grew from MEUR -0.2 to MEUR -0.8. The investments in
environmental technology are still frozen as a result of the recession and the
projects planned or offered have been transferred to the future.
Net sales in the Carpentry Industry segment declined from MEUR 1.4 to MEUR 1.2,
but the MEUR -0.2 operating loss turned to MEUR 0.0 operating profit. The
development of net sales is halted by the low volume of construction. The
improvement in profitability is explained by the boosted efficiency in operative
functions.
In the Supports segment, net sales declined from MEUR 0.9 to 0.8 and operating
profit remained at MEUR 0.0. The low volume of rebuilding in Finland, Russia and
the Baltic keeps demand for Supports low.
In the Fasteners segment, net sales dropped from MEUR 0.7 to MEUR 0.6 and
operating loss remained at MEUR -0.1. The activities of clientele in the
Fasteners segment are still on quite a low level.
In the Technochemical segment, net sales declined from MEUR 0.7 to MEUR 0.6 and
operating profit remained at MEUR 0.0. Net sales were particularly weakened by
the deterioration in demand on the part of engineering products as a consequence
of the recession in the technology industry and, due to weather conditions, the
reduction in use of transport equipment-related maintenance chemicals.
Significant changes have not occurred in other business segments.
INVESTMENTS AND FINANCING
The Group's gross investments during the first quarter were MEUR 1.4 (MEUR 2.8).
The Group's cash flow from business operations was, despite the operating loss,
MEUR 0.7 positive and liquidity was good. The Group's assets and financing
securities, MEUR 23.6 (MEUR 40.5), enable the implementation of a growth
strategy.
The Group's equity ratio was 33.0% (33.0%) and net debts with interest totalled
MEUR 31.2 (MEUR 21.0). The exchangeable capital loan of Panostaja Oyj from net
debts was MEUR 17.2 (MEUR 17.2).
The general Annual Meeting (27 Jan. 2010) approved the Board's proposal for the
distribution of dividends. Dividends were distributed at a rate of 0.12 euros
per share. The matching date for distribution of dividends was 1 Feb. 2010 and
the starting payment date 8 Feb. 2010. Dividends were paid to the shareholders
of the parent company to a total of MEUR 5.5.
GROUP STRUCTURE CHANGES
As of the financial period 1 November 2009 - 31 October 2010, starting with the
first-quarter review, the business operations of Panostaja Group shall be
reported in fourteen segments, which are: Safety, HEPAC Wholesale, Takoma,
Digital Printing Services, Supports, Value-Added Logistics, Heat Treatment,
Spare Parts for Motor Vehicles, Environmental Technology, Carpentry Industry,
Fasteners, Fittings, Technochemical and Others. The new reporting segments have
been assembled because they mutually produce various products and services.
The Group's primary segment reporting is based on the business segments. The
Group has no subsidiary segment distribution.
EVENTS AFTER THE REVIEW PERIOD
There are no events after the review period.

acquisition of its own shares assigned during the Annual Meeting of 26 Jan. 2009
and authorized the Board of Directors to decide on the acquisition of its own
shares, so that personal shares would be acquired together or in several

acquire personal shares to a maximum number which, together with the personal
shares held by the company or as security by others in its subsdiaries, is, at
maximum, one-tenth of all the company's shares.

shareholders in public trade arranged by NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Oy at the
prevailing market price at the time. In acquiring shares, the rules of NASDAQ
OMX Helsinki Oy and Euroclear Finland Oy are observed.

registered letters posted with the addresses marked in the company's list of
shareholders, in another demonstrable manner, or by publishing the invitation to
the meeting at least in conjunction with a newspaper having national circulation
specified by the Annual Meeting.
In order to be able to participate in the Annual Meeting, the shareholder must
register with the company no later than the day mentioned in the invitation to
the meeting, which may be at earliest ten (10) days prior to the Annual
Meeting.”
SHARE CAPITAL AND OWN SHARES
At the close of the review period, Panostaja Oyj's share capital was
5,529,081.60 euros. The total number of shares is 47,403,110.
In accordance with the Annual Meeting on 26 Jan. 2009 and the decisions of the
Board, Panostaja Oyj transferred the total of 5,585 individual shares as meeting
fees to the members of the Board on 18 Dec. 2009.
The total number of shares held by the company at the end of the review period
was 1,283,624 individual shares. Personal shares corresponded to 2.7 percent of
the share quantity and number of votes at the end of the entire review period.
CAPITAL LOAN
The amount of debt of the exchangeable capital loan in 2006 was, at the end of
the review period, 17,212,500 euros, and this entitles a total of 10,125,000 as
a new share entry.
During the review period, no new shares have been marked with the capital loan.
SHARE PRICE DEVELOPMENT AND SHARE OWNERSHIP
Panostaja Oyj's share price varied during the review period between 1.34 euros
and 1.75 euros. The exchange of shares totalled 2,259,354 individual shares,
which represents 4.9% of share capital. The January share closing rate was 1.57
euros. The market value of the company's share capital at the end of January was
MEUR 74.4 and the company had 4,137 shares (3,005).
NEAR-FUTURE RISKS AND FACTORS OF UNCERTAINTY
The most significant risks of Panostaja Group have been described in the final
accounts. The near-future risks are particularly connected with the success of
the integration of companies acquired and the completion of decided operational
structural changes. The strong deterioration in the general economic situation
has caused a lengthening downswing in customer demand and transformation of
investments especially in segments serving the technology industry. In the case
the downturn in the technology industry continues and investments in environment
technology segment transfers, it may cause a need to write down Group's
goodwill. Furthermore credit losses are more probable during this financial
period than the previous. The aim of Panostaja is to divest the 27 per cent
share of Real Estate Fund PE Kiinteistörahasto I Ky, which would mean, in the
case of actualization, operating profit of circa MEUR 1.6. However, a weak
situation in real estate markets may postpone the realization of the Real Estate
share.
PROSPECTS FOR THE FINAL ACCOUNT PERIOD
Panostaja Group shall further concentrate on its business idea and the
development of its current business areas. The transfer of the large age groups
to retirement, increasingly vigorous continuous changes in the business
environment of companies and internationalization shall bring a large group of
enterprises to the market for purchase in the years to come. Panostaja's
operational prerequisites, available capital and liquid assets establish a good
foundation for vigorous expansion of its operations. The increasing business
offering in traditional fields amongst functional SMEs is enabling both
expansion into new business areas and growth in current ones.
Economic trend expectations in the fields of current business area are strongly
tied to the prospects of client enterprises. Although the trend expectations
have changed in many fields in a positive direction, the turn of the economy
towards permanent growth is still subject to uncertainty. In the various
business areas of Panostaja Group, the prospects still vary from weakening to
guardedly positive. Even if a permanent turn to the better were to occur in the
economic trends, the market also offers sufficient opportunities for corporate
acquisitions, and it is the purpose of the growth strategy of Panostaja to
achieve growth through controlled company purchases, especially in existent
business areas. With a change in market situation, the divestment of some
business areas may become timely.
The turnover of Panostaja Group is still expected to increase from previous
financial year but the operating profit of the financial year is expected to be
lower than the operating profit of previous financial year. However the
operating profit of the financial year is expected to clearly surpass the
operating profit of the previous financial year (EUR 0,1 million without the
divestment profit of the Group's real estate holdings).
