Marko Saarelainen, President and CEO of Honkarakenne Oyj, in connection with the half-year report:
”We succeeded in increasing net sales in all business areas. Net sales were substantially better than in the corresponding period of the previous year. The bulk of net sales growth is generated by Finland and Asia. Finland accounted for 63 per cent of net sales.
In the Finnish market, it is apparent that customers value healthy living and want to buy higher-quality houses that are even more complete upon delivery. At Honkarakenne, this is evident in both sales of detached houses and the higher demand for construction services. In addition, during the first half of the year, we made major new agreements for public and care home construction. Public and care home construction got off to a good start, accounting for the largest share of the growth in the order book. At the end of the review period, the order book was 30 per cent higher than a year earlier.
Operations in Russia were difficult in the first months of the year, but sales picked up slightly during the second quarter. However, we expect that this will be a difficult year in the Russian market. In Global Markets, we were particularly delighted by our performance in Asia, where the sales trend was positive. Project sales also picked up momentum towards the end of the period. Central Europe was a disappointment.
We’ve bolstered our sales resources, continue to develop our distribution networks and are making outlays on project sales in all markets.”

TRENDS IN PROFIT AND PROFITABILITY
The adjusted operating loss for the January-June period was MEUR -0.2 (MEUR -1.9), the operating loss was MEUR -0.1 (MEUR -2.1) and the result before taxes was MEUR -0.1 (MEUR -2.5). Adjustment items include capital gains of MEUR 0.1 from the sale of properties included in fixed assets (adjustment items in the corresponding period of the previous year included expenses of MEUR 0.2).
The development of the operating result was impacted by the year-on-year increace in net sales.
FINANCING AND INVESTMENTS
On 3 March 2017, the Board of Directors of Honkarakenne carried out a directed share issue to reinforce the company’s financial and balance sheet position, based on a share issue authorisation granted by the Annual General Meeting on 15 April 2016. In the directed issue, AKR-Invest Oy subscribed for 1,000,000 new Honkarakenne B shares. The subscription price was EUR 1.50/share, i.e. EUR 1,500,000 in total. The subscription price was paid in full and entered in the company’s invested unrestricted equity fund.
The financial position of the Group remained satisfactory during the report period. The equity ratio stood at 38% (31%) and net financial liabilities at MEUR 4.2 (MEUR 4.9). In December 2016, the company negotiated new financing resolutions for 2017 with its financiers. Some of the new financing resolutions include EBITDA covenants. The EBITDA covenants apply to MEUR 3.6 in financial liabilities, of which MEUR 1.7 (1.2) already carried a 30 per cent equity ratio covenant term. Group liquid assets totalled MEUR 2.5 (MEUR 0.4). The Group also has a MEUR 7.8 (MEUR 7.8) bank overdraft facility, MEUR 2.9 of which had been drawn on at the end of the report period (MEUR 1.1). Gearing stood at 54% (86%). The company has agreed with its financiers that the repayments to be made next year will be negotiated towards the end of 2017.
The Group’s capital expenditure on fixed assets totalled MEUR 0.2 (MEUR 0.1).
PRODUCTS AND MARKETING
In Finland, sales development was positive. Healthy construction, high quality and design are important selling points in Finland. Outlays on public and care home construction started yielding results and Honka gained significant orders and framework agreements in this sector. Demand for construction services has also been on the rise, as customers want to buy houses that are even more complete upon delivery. During the first half of the year, the company prepared for this year’s main sales and marketing event, the Mikkeli Housing Fair. At the housing fair, Honka will present two different houses: Honka Ink is a small, modern and streamlined detached house, while Honka Ankkuri is an architecturally diverse creation that features a tower.
In Russia & CIS, sales got off to a sluggish start in the first months of the year, but picked up slightly in the second quarter. It is forecast that the Russian market will remain difficult until the end of the year. The company seeks to generate net sales in the latter half of the year by focusing on large projects and area development projects. Together with its local importer, Honka will participate in the Astana World’s Fair, which was opened in June.
In Global Markets, the best sales performance was seen in Asia, and deals were also made for international projects. Central Europe was a disappointment. Due to weak volume, functions in this region are being reorganised. Marketing efforts in Global Markets focused on overhauling the website and harnessing social media more effectively. In addition, local marketing campaigns were carried out.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
In the January–June period, the Group's R&D expenditure totalled MEUR 0.1 (MEUR 0.2), representing 0.6% of net sales (1.1%). The Group did not capitalise any development expenditure during the report period.
PERSONNEL
During the first half of the year, the Group employed a total of 111 (109) employees on average in terms of person-years. The Group had an average of 135 (138) employees during the first half of the year.
In summer 2016, the company conducted negotiations under the act on co-operation within undertakings to prepare itself for the cyclical variations typical of its field of business. As a result, it was agreed that the company could lay off clerical and managerial employees for a maximum of 90 days. It was also agreed that blue-collar workers would have shorter workweeks. These arrangements were in force until 31 March 2017 for white-collars and until 31 May 2017 for blue-collar workers.
In June 2017, the company initiated negotiations under the act on co-operation within undertakings to prepare itself for the cyclical variations typical of its field of business with temporary lay-offs of no more than 90 days and/or shortened workweeks.

In the directed issue, AKR-Invest Oy subscribed for 1,000,000 new Honkarakenne B shares. The subscription price was EUR 1.50/share, i.e. EUR 1,500,000 in total.

HONKARAKENNE OYJ’S 2017 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING, BOARD OF DIRECTORS, AND AUDITORS
The Annual General Meeting of Honkarakenne Oyj was held at Järvenpää-talo in Järvenpää on 7 April 2017. The AGM approved the parent company's and the consolidated Financial Statements, and discharged the members of the Board of Directors and the CEO from liability for 2016. The AGM decided not to pay a dividend for the 2016 financial year.
Anita Saarelainen was re-elected to the company's Board of Directors. Timo Kohtamäki, Arimo Ristola and Kyösti Saarimäki were elected as new members. At the Board's constituent meeting, Arimo Ristola was elected Chairman of the Board. At the same meeting, the Board decided not to establish any committees.
PricewaterhouseCoopers Oy, member of the Finnish Institute of Authorised Public Accountants, was re-appointed as auditor of the company, with Maria Grönroos, APA, as chief auditor.
AUTHORISATIONS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
On 7 April 2017, 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. In addition, the AGM authorised the Board to decide on a rights issue or bonus issue and on granting special rights to shares referred to in Section 1 of Chapter 10 of the Limited Liability Companies Act in one or more instalments. By virtue of the authorisation, the Board may issue a maximum total of 1,500,000 new shares and/or relinquish old B shares held by the company, including those shares that can be issued by virtue of special rights. Both authorisations will remain in force until the next Annual General Meeting, however expiring at the latest on June 30, 2018.
OWN SHARES
Honkarakenne has not acquired its own shares during the report period. At the end of the report period, the Group held 364,385 of its Honkarakenne B shares with a total purchase price of EUR 1,381,750.23. At the end of report period these shares represent 5.87% of the company's all shares and 3.05% of all votes. The purchase cost has been deducted from shareholders' equity in the consolidated financial statements.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Honkarakenne Oyj observes the 2015 Corporate Governance Code for listed companies issued by the Finnish Securities Market Association. The company’s website, www.honka.com, provides more information on the corporate governance systems.
FORTHCOMING RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Russia is one of Honkarakenne’s major business territories. The sanctions connected to the Ukrainian crisis and strong exchange rate fluctuations currently cause instability in the Russian market. This might also have significant effects on Honkarakenne’s business.
In December 2016, the company negotiated new financing resolutions for 2017 with its financiers. Some of the new financing resolutions include EBITDA covenants. The EBITDA covenants apply to MEUR 3.6 in financial liabilities, of which MEUR 1.7 (1.2) already carried a 30 per cent equity ratio covenant term. At the end of the first half of the year, the equity ratio was 38% (31% a year earlier). The company has agreed with its financiers that the repayments to be made next year will be negotiated towards the end of 2017.
Deferred tax assets include an item of MEUR 1.4 related to unused tax losses, of which MEUR 0.5 will expire in 2019 and MEUR 0.7 in 2021 - 2025. In Honkarakenne’s view, these deferred tax assets can be utilised by using the company’s estimated taxable income, which is based on Honkarakenne’s business plans. If earnings do not develop as expected in the long term, it is possible that the tax assets might not be utilised in time and must be impaired. New deferred tax assets were not recognised in the balance sheet for the first half of 2017.
The assessment of amounts in the balance sheet is based on current assessments by the management. If these assessments are changed, this may impact on the company’s result.
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 half year financial report has been drafted in accordance with IAS 34. The principles adhered to in preparing the annual financial statements also apply to this half year financial report. The half year financial report should be read together with the annual financial statements for 2016. The new revised standards or interpretations effective as of 1 January 2017 have no bearing on the figures presented for the report period. The figures have not been examined by the auditor.
Share-related data and key figures for the comparative periods have been adjusted for the share issue carried out in March 2017.
As from the 2016 half-year financial report, Honkarakenne started complying with the Guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures (APM) issued by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA). An APM is a financial measure of performance other than a financial measure defined or specified in IFRS. For this reason, the term “adjusted” is used instead of “without non-recurring items”. As adjustment items, the company classifies significant business transactions that are considered to affect comparisons between different reporting periods. Such transactions include significant reorganisation expenses, significant impairment losses or reversals thereof, significant capital gains and losses on assets, and other significant non-customary income or expenses.
EVENTS AFTER THE REVIEW PERIOD
Honkarakenne published on 7 March 2017 a listing prospectus approved by The Financial Supervisory Authority for the shares subscribed on directed share issue carried out on March. These shares were added on 11 July 2017 for trading to the Nasdaq OMX Helsinki Oy’s Stock Exchange’s list, together with the Company’s old B shares under the ticker symbol HONBS.
THE OUTLOOK FOR 2017
Honkarakenne reiterates its view that net sales in 2017 will be higher and the result before taxes will be better than in the previous year.

NOTES TO THE REPORT
Accounting policies
This half year financial report has been drafted in accordance with IAS 34. The principles adhered to in preparing the annual financial statements also apply to this half year financial report. The half year financial report should be read together with the annual financial statements for 2016. The new revised standards or interpretations effective as of 1 January 2017 have no bearing on the figures presented for the report period. The figures have not been examined by the auditor.
Share-related data and key figures for the comparative periods have been adjusted for the share issue carried out in March 2017.
As from the 2016 half-year financial report, Honkarakenne started complying with the Guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures (APM) issued by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA). An APM is a financial measure of performance other than a financial measure defined or specified in IFRS. For this reason, the term “adjusted” is used instead of “without non-recurring items”. As adjustment items, the company classifies significant business transactions that are considered to affect comparisons between different reporting periods. Such transactions include significant reorganisation expenses, significant impairment losses or reversals thereof, significant capital gains and losses on assets, and other significant non-customary income or expenses.
In Honkarakenne’s view, Alternative Performance Measures provide significant additional information to management, investors, securities analysts and other parties on Honkarakenne’s result of operations, financial position and cash flows, and are frequently used by analysts, investors and other parties. Return on equity, equity ratio, net financial liabilities and gearing are presented as supplementary key figures, as in the company’s view they are useful indicators for assessing Honkarakenne’s ability to acquire financing and pay its debts. In addition, gross investments and R&D expenditure provide additional information on needs related to Honkarakenne’s cash flow from operating activities.
Honkarakenne has three geographical operating segments that have been combined into one segment for reporting purposes. Geographically, sales are divided as follows: Finland, Russia & CIS and Global Markets. The internal reporting of the management is in line with IFRS reporting. For this reason, separate reconciliations are not presented.
