Mikael Fryklund, CEO:
Net sales for the third quarter were EUR 8,2 million which is EUR 1,2 million less than a year ago. The decline in sales was effected mainly due to the component shortage and limited cash reserves and due to covid pandemia restrictions. The order book however increased and was EUR 20,5 million at the end of Q3 2021 compared to EUR 11,8 million last year. The order intake for Q3 2021 developed also very well and was EUR 14,5 million compared to EUR 7,3 million in Q3 2020.
The Led Drivers product category's net sales were EUR 2,7 million, an increase of EUR 0,7 million in the third quarter of 2021 and EUR 0,9 million for the first three quarters. The increase of the Led Drivers product category was mainly driven by the increased demand by our Led Driver customers in North America and EMEA.
The decrease in net sales compared to last year came from the Power Supplies and Power Systems product categories. The net sales of the Power Systems product category were EUR 0,7 million for Q3 2021, a decrease of EUR 0,6 million versus Q3 last year and EUR 0,3 million for the first three quarters. The decrease was mainly driven by a weak demand during summer period and partly due to component shortage. The demand for the MHE product family remained stable.
The sales in the Power Supplies product category were EUR 4,8 million for Q3 2021, a decrease of EUR 1,2 million compared to Q3 last year. The year-to-date net sales were EUR 15,4 million with a decrease of EUR 3,4 million compared to last year. The decrease was driven by the component shortage. The order intake for the Power Supplies product category for the first nine months was EUR 26,2 million compared to EUR 21,0 million last year.
Geographically, the sales increased in Q3 in the American market driven by increased sales to Led Drivers customers which was strongly impacted last year by the Covid pandemic, whereas sales in EMEA and APAC were lower, due to the shortage of components. The global market has been recovering, and the order intake was increasing well in the quarter, but due to global shortage of components and the limited cash reserves, the sales has been negatively impacted in the quarter.
Enedo Plc’s groupwide turnaround program and plans to strengthen the liquidity
In order to turn Enedo Plc’s significant losses into a company with long-term sustainable profitability, the company has launched a turnaround program, which includes among others restructuring activities and optimization of the logistics, involving the entire Enedo Group as descibed in the half year report.
The turnaround program is progressing well but has shown to be more challenging than anticipated, both in time and financially. The turnaround program is estimated to cost around EUR 4 million until end of first quarter next year, with the corresponding cash effect.
To financially manage this transition period and implement the turnaround program, the company needs to strengthen the liquidity. Therefore we are now in discussions with various financial institutions on a loan arrangement. The company is confident that the loan arrangement will be completed well before the end of the financial year.
The company is also investigating the possibility to strengthen the equity in order to complete the full turnaround program.
The groupwide turnaround program and the strengthening of the liquidity will furthermore enable Enedo Plc to improve the service levels to our customers, likewise strengthen the relations to our suppliers.
