Glaston Interim Report 1 January - 30 September 2009
-Orders received in January-September totalled EUR 100.3 (185.9) million. Orders
received in the third quarter totalled EUR 33.0 (49.1) million.
-Glaston's order book on 30 September 2009 was EUR 40.9 (84.4) million.
- Consolidated net sales in January-September were EUR 115.9 (201.5) million.
- The operating result in January-September was a loss of EUR 26.9 (6.5 profit)
million, representing -23.2 (+3.2)% of net sales.
- The operating result, excluding non-recurring items, was a loss of EUR 22.6
(6.5 profit) million.
- Return on capital employed (ROCE) was -18.8 (+6.2)%.
- Earnings per share in January-September were EUR -0.34 (+0.04).
-Due to aweak order book in 2009, exceptionally low demand and necessary
adjustment measures, Glaston still expects 2009 net sales to fall short of the
2008 level
and the operating result for the full year to be clearly loss-making.
President & CEO Arto Metsänen:
“The weakening of Glaston's markets appears to have stopped. No immediate
improvement of the markets is evident, however, and no significant rise in the
demand for glass processing machines is expected in the near future.
During the third quarter, signs of recovery have been perceptible in a
number of markets, but positive development is not yet evident as orders
received.
Glaston's third quarter, as expected, was loss-making. The weak financial
performance was due to the sharp fall in sales. Operational adjustment and
cost-cutting measures will be robustly continued during the final quarter of the
year.”
New segment information
On 22 April 2009, Glaston announced that it was changing its organisation, and
the reporting segments are now Machines, Services and Software Solutions.
The Pre-processing and Heat Treatment segments have been combined to form the
Machines segment. At the same time, maintenance and service business was
separated from machine operations into its own Services segment.
The Machines segment comprises tempering, bending and laminating machines sold
under the Tamglass and Uniglass brands, glass pre-processing machines sold under
the Bavelloni brand, and tool manufacturing. The Services segment consists of
glass processing machine maintenance and service activity, sales of spare parts
and tools, and the operation of the glass processing factory in Akaa, Finland,
on behalf of a partner. The Software Solutions segment includes enterprise
resource planning systems for the glass industry, sold under the Albat+Wirsam
brand.
The geographical segments reported quarterly are, from the second quarter,
Europe, MEAI (Middle East, Africa, India, Pakistan and Bangladesh), Asia and
America.
Markets
The weak market situation continued during the third quarter with demand
remaining at an exceptionally low level. Given the continued market uncertainty,
the emphasis of machine sales was on individual machines and there was no
demand for extensive One-Stop-Partner projects.
At the end of the second quarter, the first signs of market recovery appeared in
Asia, particularly in China. The cautiously positive development continued in
the area during the third quarter.
Machines
Demand for glass processing machines remained weak, and particularly in Europe
the activity level was very modest due to the holiday period. Demand in South
America, however, again continued to be very good.
At the end of second quarter, cautious signs of a market recovery were
perceptible. In the Chinese market, demand has been growing slightly due to
local economic stimulus programmes. This modest growth in demand was not
evident, however, in new orders during the third quarter.
Transfer of technology to China continued in the review period. Due to the
closure of a factory located in the USA, the transfer to Finland and China of
tempering machine production that previously took place in the USA proceeded
according to plan.
The Machines business area's January-September net sales totalled EUR 63.1
(124.6) million.
Services
The market situation for Services was again weak, with overall demand remaining
clearly below the previous year's level. A cautious market recovery was
perceptible in China, however, towards the end of the second quarter, and during
June demand also picked up slightly in Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, the UK
and Central Europe.
Demand for spare parts showed slight indications of recovery during the third
quarter but remained clearly below the 2008 level. Demand for upgrades again
continued at a good level, and demand is also expected to remain good during the
final quarter of the year. In the third quarter, a number of large upgrade
orders were received from Central Europe as well as from South and North
America. These upgrades were automation and convection technology upgrades.
Compared with the previous year, the volume of invoiced maintenance work grew.
The number of service contracts is rising despite the difficult market
situation, and also new comprehensive Glaston Care Plus service contracts were
signed in the review period.
Weak demand for tools continued during the third quarter. As part of the Group's
segment reform and to promote sales of tools, sales and distribution of tools
were transferred during the third quarter from the Machines business area to the
Services business area.
Since the second quarter, operations at the Akaa glass processing factory have
been reported as part of the Services segment. In September, Tamglass Glass
Processing announced that it was temporarily laying off the whole of its
personnel working in Akaa, a total of 16 people. The lay-offs will begin in late
October/early November and are valid until further notice.
The Services' business area's January-September net sales totalled EUR 37.1
(56.8) million.
Software Solutions
The Software Solutions' market has stabilised during the second and third
quarters, although demand remains clearly below the level in the corresponding
period of 2008.
The market situation in Central Europe has continued to be stable, and slight
signs of recovery are perceptible in the Chinese market. Demand in the United
States has continued to be weak.
A higher degree of automation as well as systems integration have been the
product development priorities of the Software Solutions segment for a couple of
years now. The product innovations of the early part of the year, the Panorama
and AWFactory line control systems, were in pilot use during the third quarter
with a number of Central European customers, and the actual launch of the
products will take place during the final quarter of the year.
The Software Solutions business area's January-September net sales totalled EUR
17.6 (21.5) million.
One-Stop-Partner
Demand for extensive One-Stop-Partner projects fell away during the final
quarter of 2008 and demand has continued to be weak during 2009.
The market for comprehensive solutions relating to solar energy still exists,
but as the global recession continues customers have postponed their investment
decisions. Glaston's position in this customer segment is strong, and solutions
based on the company's Photovoltaic (PV) and Concentrated Solar Power (CSP)
technologies have been of particular interest to customers.
The order intake for One-Stop-Partner deliveries was EUR 2.0 (20.5) million in
January-September. The unit's earnings are included in Glaston's reported
segments.
Orders received
Glaston's orders received in January-September totalled EUR 100.3 (185.9)
million. Of orders received, the Machines segment accounted for 61%, Services
32% and Software Solutions 8%. Orders received in the third quarter totalled EUR
33.0 (49.1) million.
Order book
Glaston's order book on 30 September 2009 was EUR 40.9 (84.4) million. Of the
order book, the Machines business area accounted for EUR 36.7 million, Services
for EUR 1.6 million and Software Solutions for EUR 3.5 million.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net sales and result
Continued low demand affected the development of net sales. January-September
net sales totalled EUR 115.9 (201.5) million. The Machines business area's net
sales in January-September were EUR 63.1 (124.6) million, Services' net sales
EUR 37.1 (56.8) million and Software Solutions' net sales EUR 17.6 (21.5)
million.
Third-quarter net sales were EUR 31.5 (65.8) million and distributed across the
business areas as follows: Machines EUR 14.7 (38.2) million, Services EUR 11.6
(20.2) million and Software Solutions EUR 5.8 (7.8) million.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The operating result in January-September was a loss of EUR 22.6 (6.5 profit)
million, representing -19.5 (+3.2)% of net sales. The result includes EUR 4.3
million of non-recurring costs relating to operational efficiency measures,
which were recognised in the second quarter. Of the January-September operating
loss, excluding non-recurring items, the Machines business area accounted for
EUR -14.6 (+4.7) million, the Services business area for EUR -2.1 (+3.9) million
and Software Solutions for EUR +0.6 (+3.6) million.
The strong decline in sales weakened the profitability of the Machines business
area, because the substantial cost-cutting and adjustment measures were
insufficient to balance sharply falling turnover. Operational adjustment will be
robustly continued during the final quarter of the year.
The third quarter operating loss, excluding non-recurring items, was EUR -7.4
(+1.1) million, of which the Machines business area accounted for EUR -4.9
(-0.4) million, the Services business area for EUR -0.1 (+2.0) million and
Software Solutions for EUR 0.5 (1.4) million. The Services business area's
result is burdened by the strongly negative operating result of Tamglass Glass
Processing, EUR -3.3 million.

The result for the financial period was EUR -26.8 (3.1) million. Return on
capital employed was -18.8 (+6.2)% and earnings per share were EUR -0.34
(+0.04). Earnings per share in July-September were EUR -0.11 (-0.01).
Efficiency programme
To improve profitability and adjust operations to the market situation,
efficiency measures were initiated throughout the Group in September 2008, and
these measures were continued during the third quarter.
The restructuring of Machines business proceeded during the third quarter, with
the focus being on completing the integration process and further improving
profitability. Developing the global production structure, enhancing purchasing
activity and streamlining the product portfolio have been the operational
priorities.
In the third quarter, Glaston initiated a programme to develop spare parts and
tool operations as well as logistics. Inventories in Mexico and Greensboro were
transferred to Cinnaminson in the USA. In the Services business, cost-cutting
and operational adjustment measures continued. The unit manufacturing upgrade
products in Orivesi, Finland, was closed in July.
The Group's substantial temporary lay-offs in Finland and Italy continued during
the third quarter, as did cuts in working hours in Germany and the USA.
As a result of the efficiency and adjustment measures, the number of Glaston
employees at the end of the period under review had fallen by around 300
compared with the end of 2008. In addition, temporary subcontracted workers were
reduced by nearly 60.
The cost savings planned in the efficiency measures total nearly EUR 20 million
and related non-recurring costs are EUR 4.3 million for 2009. The savings will
be implemented mainly during 2009. Cost savings in the period under review
(excluding material expenses) totalled EUR 18.5 million compared with the
corresponding period the previous year (in the third quarter 7.9 million).
Financing
The Group's financial position remained reasonable, even though net debt grew in
the third quarter compared with the end of the second quarter. In addition to
dividends paid during the review period, the Group's financial position was
affected mainly by changes in working capital and cash flow from operating
activities as well as by a convertible bond issue (EUR 23.8 million). Thanks to
special measures, working capital has been reduced (EUR +20.5 million), but cash
flow from operating activities, excluding the change in working capital, was
negative (EUR -25.1 million) in the review period. Cash flow from investing
activities was EUR -6.7 (-10.3) million. Cash flow from financing activities in
January-September was EUR +18.9 (+27.9) million, including dividends paid in the
review period of EUR 3.9 (7.8) million.
The equity ratio on 30 September 2009 was 40.4 (48.5)%.
The Group's liquid funds on 30 September 2009 totalled EUR 19.2 (15.7) million.
Interest-bearing net debt totalled EUR 67.6 (43.9) million and net gearing was
70.3 (32.3)%. To ensure liquidity, the Group has a EUR 65 million committed
revolving credit facility. At the end of September, EUR 27.7 million of the
facility was in use.
Capital expenditure, depreciation and amortisation
Glaston's gross capital expenditure totalled EUR 7.4 (13.6) million. The most
significant capital expenditure was related to a joint venture founded in
connection with the sale of the glass processing operations as well as to the
global ERP project.
During the review period, depreciation and amortisation of property, plant and
equipment and intangible assets totalled EUR 6.3 (6.3) million. Of impairment of
assets recognised during the review period, EUR 1.2 (0.3) million, most was
directed at tangible assets.
Group structural changes
As part of an efficiency programme initiated last year, operations of Uniglass
Engineering Oy were transferred to Glaston's factory in Tampere, Finland.
Operations at the Uniglass factory in Ylöjärvi, Finland, ended on 31 March 2009.
Glaston's subsidiary Tamglass Glass Processing Ltd. sold its insulation and
architectural glass processing operations to INTERPANE Glass Oy in March.
INTERPANE Glass Oy is a Glaston joint venture company. As of 1 April 2009, glass
processing operations consist only of solar reflector production at Akaa,
Finland.
Glaston's two companies in Mexico were merged in the second quarter, Glaston UK
Ltd and Albat+Wirsam Software Ltd in the UK at the beginning of the third
quarter, and Albat+ Wirsam Software AG and Cantor Software GmbH in Germany at
the beginning of September.
The Pre-processing and Heat Treatment business areas were merged in April to
form the Machines business area. To boost sales of tools and ensure synergy
benefits in spare parts sales and deliveries, tool sales were transferred during
the third quarter from the Machines business area to the Services segment, with
tool manufacturing and development remaining in the Machines business area.
Personnel
Henrik Reims was appointed Senior Vice President Sales and Marketing as of
1 April 2009, Topi Saarenhovi Senior Vice President of the Machines business
area as of 22 April 2009 and Manne Tiensuu as Glaston's Senior Vice President,
Human Resources as of 15 May 2009. Arto Metsänen, M.Sc.(Eng.), was appointed on
5 August 2009 as the company's new President & CEO, and he started work in his

employees. Of the Group's employees, 21% worked in Finland and 50% elsewhere in
Europe, 1% in the MEAI area, 14% in Asia and 14% in the Americas. The average
number of employees was 1,392 (1,507).

Authorisations given by the Annual General Meeting
The 2009 Annual General Meeting of Glaston Corporation authorised the Board of
Directors to decide on the acquisition of the company's own shares up to a
maximum of 7,000,000 shares. The authorisation is valid for 18 months from the
decision of the Annual General Meeting.
The Annual General Meeting also authorised the Board of Directors to decide on
the issue of new shares and/or the conveyance of the own shares held by the
company such that, in exception to the pre-emptive subscription right of
shareholders, a maximum of 7,800,000 new shares can be issued and a maximum of
7,800,000 own shares held by the company can be conveyed, but such that the
total number of shares to be issued and/or conveyed does not exceed 7,800,000.
The latter authorisation is not, however, valid on the date of this report.
Decisions of the Extraordinary Meeting of Shareholders
The Extraordinary Meeting
of Shareholders of Glaston Corporation, held on 8 June 2009, authorised the
Board of Directors to decide of the issuing of shares and the issuing of special
rights granting entitlement to shares, referred to in Chapter 10 Section 1 of
the Companies Act.
The number of shares to be issued under the authorisation may not exceed a total
of 25,000,000 shares. If all shares that may be issued under the authorisation
were issued, the number of shares issued would correspond to approximately 24%
of all the shares in the company.
The Board of Directors shall decide on the conditions of the issuing of shares
and of special rights granting entitlement to shares. The authorisation concerns
both the issuing of new shares as well as the conveyance of treasury shares. The
issuing of shares and of special rights granting entitlement to shares may be
carried out in exception to shareholders' pre-emptive rights.
The authorisation is effective until the next Annual General Meeting, however no
longer than 30 June 2010, and it cancels the authorisation to decide on the
issuing of shares given by the Annual General Meeting on 17 March 2009.
Convertible bond
On 16 June 2009, the Board of Directors decided, based on the authorisation
granted by the Extraordinary Meeting of Shareholders, to issue a convertible
bond up to a maximum principal of EUR 30,000,000, divided into negotiable
promissory notes of nominal value EUR 50,000.The bond was issued in exception to
the shareholders' pre-emptive subscription rights to investors selected by the
Board of Directors. The bond was subscribed to a total of EUR 23,750,000 and the
Board of Directors approved the subscriptions on 17 June 2009. The bond
strengthens the company's financial position, optimises the capital structure
and facilitates investments. The terms and conditions of the convertible bond
were presented in a stock exchange release dated 16 June 2009. On 28 September
2009 a total of 475 subscribed promissory notes were accepted for public trading
on the NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd.
Uncertainties and risks in the near future
Glaston's uncertainties and risks in the near future are to a large extent
linked to the development of the world economy. A significant proportion of the
uncertainties are beyond the control of the company management.
Due to the global financial crisis, Glaston's markets have changed and demand
for glass processing machines remains weak. The economic downturn has adversely
affected customers' investment opportunities, in which case orders may be
postponed and those already confirmed may be cancelled. The impact has been
particularly strong in One-Stop-Partner orders. Customers' financial situation
also impacts on the collection of receivables and on credit losses.
Risks relating to raw materials have decreased. Raw material prices have
levelled off and subcontracting capacity problems have nearly disappeared.
If the international financial crisis is extended and the recovery of the sector
delayed, it is possible that Glaston's recoverable amounts will, despite the
savings arising from efficiency measures, be insufficient to cover the carrying
amounts of assets, particularly goodwill. If this happens, it will be necessary
to recognise an impairment of assets, which when implemented will weaken the
result and shareholders' equity.
A more detailed review of Glaston's risks has been presented in the 2008
financial statements.
Outlook
The quiet market will continue to impact strongly on Glaston's business,
and adjustment of operations to the market situation will continue. The
cornerstones of Glaston's business remain the architectural glass segment and
the solar energy market.
The first signs of market recovery were perceptible at the end of the first half
of the year and cautious positive development in certain market areas continued
in the third quarter. Nevertheless, no clear improvement of the markets is
evident and demand for glass processing machines in the latter part of the year
will remain on a low level.
Due to a weak order book in 2009, exceptionally low demand and necessary
adjustment measures, Glaston still expects 2009 net sales to fall short of the
2008 level and the operating result for the full year to be clearly loss-making.

and end of the reporting period)
Return on equity, % (ROE)= Profit / loss for the reporting period x 100 /
Equity (Equity attributable to owners of the parent + non-controlling interest)
(average of 1 January and end of the reporting period)
Per share data
Earnings per share (EPS) = Net result attributable to owners of the parent /

Equity attributable to owners of the parent per share = Equity attributable to
owners of the parent at end of the period / Adjusted number of shares at end of
the period
Average trading price = Shares traded (EUR) / Shares traded (volume)
Price per earnings per share (P/E) = Share price at end of the period /
Earnings per share (EPS)
Price per equity per share = Share price at period end / Equity attributable to
owners of the parent per share

ACCOUNTING POLICIES
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as approved by the
European Union. They do not include all of the information required
for full annual financial statements.
The accounting principles applied in these condensed interim
consolidated financial statements are the same as in the previous financial
statements, with the exception of the following
new or revised or amended standards and interpretations, which have
been applied from 1 January, 2009:
- IAS 23 (revised) Borrowing Costs
- IFRS 8 Operating Segments
- IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programs
- Amendments to IFRS 2 Share-based Payments: Vesting Conditions and
Cancellations
- Amendments to IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation and IAS 1
Presentation of Financial Statements - Puttable Financial Instruments and
Obligations Arising on Liquidation
- IFRIC 15 Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate
- Amendment to IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement -
Eligible Hedged Items
- Amendments to IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting
Standards and IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements - Cost of
an Investment in a Subsidiary, Jointly Controlled Entity or Associate.
- Amendments to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures - Improving
Disclosures about Financial Instruments
- Amendments to IFRIC 9 and IAS 39: Embedded Derivatives
In addition, Glaston applies the annual Improvements to IFRSs issued in May
2008.
Applying revised IAS 23 Borrowing Costs changed Glaston's accounting principles
from 1 January 2009. From that date on the borrowing costs that are directly
attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying
asset are capitalized to the acquisition cost of the asset. The capitalization
will apply mainly to property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.

DIVESTMENTS
Glaston's subsidiary Tamglass Glass Processing Ltd. sold in March its
insulated and architectural glass processing operations to INTERPANE Glass Oy.
INTERPANE Glass Oy began its operations on 1 April, 2009. The divested
operations had net sales of approximately EUR 14 million in 2008 and 93
employees at the end of March. The personnel were transferred to INTERPANE Glass
Oy.
The transaction was an asset deal, consisting of, among others, tangible assets
and inventory. The deal was financed mainly through vendor financing given by
Glaston. Glaston has also invested EUR 2.0 million in the equity of INTERPANE
Glass Oy. In addition, Glaston is committed to invest additional EUR 0.5 million
in INTERPANE's equity. Also the other party of the transaction is committed to
make additional investments in INTERPANE's equity.
INTERPANE Glass Oy is a company owned jointly by Georg F. Hesselbach through his
company A A A Glass & Design Finland Oy, and a subsidiary of Glaston
Corporation. The shareholders of INTERPANE Glass Oy have entered into a
shareholders' agreement which incorporates put and call options enabling the
shareholders to rearrange their ownership shares in the company in the future.
The transaction has no material effect on Glaston's result.
INTERPANE Glass Oy is a joint venture of Glaston, and it is consolidated in
Glaston's consolidated financial statements using the equity method.
Glaston continues its production of solar reflectors in Akaa, Finland.
CHANGES IN JOINT VENTURES
The Chinese company Sanhe AAA Tools Co. was consolidated in 2008 as a joint
venture using the equity method and not as a subsidiary despite of the 70 per
cent ownership of Glaston, because Glaston was not considered to have control of
the company. From 1 January, 2009, Sanhe AAA Tools Co. has been consolidated as
a subsidiary as Glaston has gained control of the company.
INTERPANE Glass Oy became a joint venture of Glaston on 31 March, 2009.

A customer of the US subsidiary Glaston USA, Inc. had made a claim of
approximately USD 22 million due to a sale of a machine in 2004. The arbitration
proceeding initiated by the customer against the US subsidiary Glaston USA, Inc.
was concluded in April. Majority of the customer's claim were denied. The matter
has no material effect on Glaston's 2009 result, because it was included in 2008
result as a non-recurring item, but the compensation paid by Glaston has
affected Glaston's cash flow.
The Group recognized a tax refund of approximately EUR 2 million in 2006 after
having received an affirmative decision according to which the expenses arising
from the management incentive scheme of the Group are deductible in taxation.
The tax authorities of the Tax Office for Major Corporations appealed against
the decision to the Administrative Court of Helsinki. Administrative Court of
Helsinki decided the case on Glaston's favour in January 2009. The decision is
final, since no appeal was made.
Glaston Group has international operations and can be a defendant or plaintiff
in a number of legal proceedings incidental to those operations. The Group does
not expect the outcome of any unmentioned legal proceedings currently pending,
either individually or in the aggregate, to have material adverse effect upon
the Group's consolidated financial position or results of operations.
