Esa Rautalinko, President and CEO of Honkarakenne Oyj, in connection with the interim report:
“After the first quarter, the Group’s result before taxes is at the expected level, and the Group’s net sales increased by 9% over the same period of last year. In 2011, our main focus is on accelerating sales in all market areas, and these measures will be continued. In Finland, Honkarakenne is seeking growth particularly in the residential house market, as the Group’s selection includes environmentally friendly low-energy solutions for areas zoned for stone, brick, and concrete buildings. Export will focus on premium product, such as the Honka Fusion™ product concept, and on opening new markets for it. In the Far East, West, and Other Markets segments, we will also aim for growth by means of developing the sales network.
The goal of the improvement programme initiated by the Group at the beginning of 2010 is to increase the result by MEUR 8 within two years. Of this, MEUR 5.1 was achieved in 2010, and for 2011 the targeted improvement is MEUR 2.9. During the first quarter of the year, the effect of the improvement programme amounted to MEUR 0.1.
In the first quarter, Honkarakenne continued to focus on its core business and sold its shareholding in Karjalan Lisenssisaha Invest Oy to FM Timber Team Oy in February. The trade has a positive effect of MEUR 0.3 on the result of the first quarter. In future, Honkarakenne will purchase sawn timber from FM Timber Team along with other suppliers.
The natural disaster that occurred in Japan in March has not yet affected Honkarakenne’s business operations. The reconstruction process may commence fully after the devastated areas have been cleared and any possible changes to zoning are complete. Honkarakenne is actively seeking to take part in reconstruction projects, but it is still too early to estimate the effects on the Group’s operations in the Far East.”
NET SALES
Honkarakenne Group’s consolidated net sales for the first quarter increased by 9% to MEUR 9.2 (8.5). The net sales in Domestic and in Process waste decreased by 13% to MEUR 3.8 (4.3). In export, net sales increased by 31% to MEUR 5.5 (4.2).

The equity ratio stood at 41.7% (33.6%) and interest-bearing net liabilities at MEUR 13.8 (MEUR 15.9). MEUR 4.3 (4.4) of the interest-bearing net liabilities carries a 30% equity ratio covenant term.

Gearing stood at 82% (112%). The Group’s capital expenditure totalled MEUR 0.2 (MEUR 0.2).
MARKET DEVELOPMENT
Based on a report commissioned by RTS Oy, Finnish log house production is expected to grow by 3% this year. The figure includes production for Finland and for export.
PRODUCTS, MARKETING AND MARKET AREAS
In Finland during the first quarter, Honkarakenne focused on urban wood construction projects and on creating a complete project concept. The complete project concept is aimed at increasing the Group’s opportunities for involvement in construction projects of large and medium-sized single-family houses. In addition, the Honka Säästö™ solution for recreational products was launched in Finland. This is a unique structural solution that allows holiday houses with modern comforts to remain completely cold during the winter. Honka Säästö™ introduces significant reductions to the energy costs of vacation houses. Like all Honkarakenne products, it is also an extremely environmentally friendly solution.
In the West, the Group continued to push the Honka Fusion™ concept to the market. Trade activity saw a clear increase in Eastern Europe but countries that have traditionally been strong for Honkarakenne, Germany and France, did not reach a satisfactory level. In the West, additional measures have been initiated in order to increase sales towards the end of the year.
In the East market area, investment in the premium strategy paid off, resulting in a clear increase in net sales and a positive outlook for the entire area. During the first quarter of the year, the Group was in the process of developing a new model of houses for the eastern markets. This selection aims to meet the needs of demanding premium customers more than before. The models will be launched during the second quarter.
In the Far East, the first quarter was overshadowed by Japan’s natural disaster in March. Due to the difficult situation caused by the destruction, Honkarakenne rescheduled to the autumn of 2011 the marketing campaign planned for March. The construction will pick up in Japan, but it is too early to anticipate the extent to which Honkarakenne will be involved in the reconstruction. In the Far East area, preparations were made during the first quarter to renew the house models.
In the Other Markets group, the focus was on increasing operations particularly in markets where construction during the winter is possible.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
In January–March, the Group’s R&D expenditure was MEUR 0.1 (MEUR 0.1), 1.6% of the net sales (1.1%). The Group has not activated development costs during the period under review.
STAFF
At the end of the March, the Group employed 265 people (305) on average. This is 40 less than at the same time in the previous year.

HONKARAKENNE OYJ’S OWN SHARES AND AUTHORISATIONS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

At the end of the report period, the Group held 364,385 of its Honkarakenne B shares with a total purchase price of EUR 1,377,609.57. These shares represent 7.05% of the company's capital stock and 3.35% of all votes. The purchase cost has been deducted from shareholders' equity in the consolidated financial statements.
On 1 April 2011, the AGM decided that the Board of Directors will be authorised to acquire a maximum of 400,000 of the company’s own B shares with assets included in the company’s unrestricted equity.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Honkarakenne Oyj follows the Limited Liability Companies Act and the Finnish Corporate Governance Code, 1 October 2010, for listed companies issued by the Finnish Securities Market Association. The company's website, www.honka.com/investors, provides more information on the corporate governance systems.
FUTURE OUTLOOK
Demand is expected to have potential for growth in all markets. However, general macroeconomic uncertainties, such as the European Union’s stabilisation measures, may affect customers’ willingness to make decisions on large construction projects. Sales numbers still show signs of a prolonged sales process and lack of long-term orders.
At the end of March, the Group’s order book stood at MEUR 19.8, which is a 7% decrease from the MEUR 21.2 of the same time period in the previous year. The order book refers to orders whose delivery date falls within the next 24 months. Some orders may include a financing or building permit condition.
FORTHCOMING RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The Group has been unable to grow at a satisfactory pace in the West market area. In its forecasts, the Group is aiming for growth in all market areas but, particularly in the West market area, achieving this is a definite risk.
The Group’s order book decreased from the previous year. There is a risk that the Group will not be able to accelerate sales according to the goals set.
The Group has one significant concentration of credit risks in sales receivables, concerning the open sales receivables of one importer. No provision for doubtful debt has been made for this. The new sales made with this importer have been paid according to the agreed terms. Deliveries to the importer have continued, and the risks with the open sales receivables have not increased.
REPORTING
This report contains statements that relate to the future, and these statements are based on hypotheses that the company's management hold currently as well as on the decisions and plans that are currently in place. Although the management believes that the hypotheses relating to the future are well-founded, there is no guarantee that the said hypotheses will prove to be correct.
This interim report has been prepared in line with the IFRS principles of bookkeeping and assessment, but it does not meet all of the requirements of standard IAS 34 (Interim Financial Reporting). The figures have not been examined by the auditor.

Honkarakenne holds the views on outlook for 2011 that it has published previously.
The goal for 2011 is to achieve better net sales and a better result than in the previous year. It is the company’s view that there exists potential for growth in all main market areas, and an improvement programme is being run in the Group.
