Continued margin improvement

Ferronordic Machine’s CEO Lars Corneliusson comments:

The market for new construction equipment in Russia was close to flat in Q3 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. The Company, however, managed to increase EBITDA from EUR 3.9m to EUR 5.4m and gross margin from 14.2% to 16.9% compared to the same period in 2012.

In Q3 2013 revenue amounted to EUR 70.5m, a 12.2% decrease compared to the same period in 2012 (4.7% in ruble terms). We are pleased by the strong performance in service revenue which was up by 40% compared to the same period in 2012. Parts sales, however, only increased by 2% compared to Q3 2012 (10% in local currency) partly due to high sales of spare parts under warranty campaigns in 2012.

In the Q3 2013, despite lower revenue, gross profit increased from EUR 11.4m to EUR 11.9m. EBITDA in Q3 2013 was EUR 5.4m, a 38% increase compared to the same period of 2012 when EBITDA amounted to EUR 3.9m. Our net debt position by the end of the third quarter of 2013 amounted to EUR 56.5m and our net debt/EBITDA ratio was 3.2x.

Unrealized FX losses again negatively affected net results for the period. In the third quarter of 2013 unrealized FX losses amounted to EUR 2.1m. Excluding the effect of unrealized FX losses, the Company’s net results increased by EUR 1.3m in Q3 2013 compared to the same period 2012.

In the first nine month of the year, Ferronordic Machines generated revenue of EUR 207.6m, which was at a similar level as the same period of 2012 when revenue amounted to EUR 207.9m. However, in local currency revenue increased by 4.6%. Revenue from parts and services increased from EUR 44.1m to EUR 46.8m. Revenue from service isolated increased by 43% while revenue from parts sales increased by 2%.

Due to more efficient pricing structure of machines and parts we managed to increase our gross profit margin to 16.8% as compared to 14.4% in the same period of 2012. In money terms gross profit increased significantly from EUR 29.9m to EUR 34.9m. EBITDA in the first nine months of 2013 was EUR 12.9m, a 46% increase compared to the same period of 2012 when EBITDA amounted to EUR 8.8m. Unrealized FX losses negatively affected the net result by EUR 3.8m.

At the end of September 2013 we operated 75 sales and/or service locations as compared to 63 locations at the end of September 2012. We continued to establish a firm foothold in Siberia and Far East, two regions which have traditionally been weak for the Volvo CE business. We expect to see further growth in these two regions in 2013 and 2014. At the end of the third quarter of 2013 we had 710 employees as compared to 621 employees at the end of the same period in 2012 –service personnel comprise the majority of the increase.

In October we successfully raised SEK 500m through a preference share issuance. We are very pleased with the strong demand in our preference share, both from new investors as well as from existing bondholders. This signals a substantial interest and confidence in our business and a comfort in the way Ferronordic Machines has performed in Russia since the start of operations in 2010. With the capital from the preference share issue and with new investors on board, we will continue to execute our growth strategy.

We are encouraged by our profitability in the third quarter of 2013 and are cautiously optimistic about the prospect for 2014.
