TAPANI KIISKI, PRESIDENT AND CEO: A MAJOR NEW ORDER CAME INTO FORCE IN JULY
In the second quarter, our net sales and operating profit continued to develop as predicted. They corresponded with our order book and order intake. We have every reason to be satisfied with the implementation of projects. There were no surprises.
The economic situation and demand continued at the same level as in previous quarters. According to my assessment, demand has remained relatively good among our customers. A clear indication of this is the level of activity in our spare parts sales. The exceptional market situation that I already presented in our Q1 report has, however, continued. Many of our customers are actively planning even major investments. The level of activity with regard to quotations and negotiations is exceptionally high. Despite this, very few new investment projects are being started up. The volume of order intake was a clear disappointment to us, also in the second quarter.
Our order book fell by the end of the second quarter to a level low enough to cause some concern. The situation has now changed, as expected, during July due to the major new orders that we have received.
The UK’s likely departure from the EU, based on the Brexit referendum result, will probably not have a direct impact on Raute’s business. Raute’s solutions do not have any major customer industries in the UK. The country does, however, have a large wood construction market, on the European scale, and thus the slowing down of the economy may have an impact on customers operating elsewhere. I do not, however, believe in major long-term effects either.
Our current order book and projects which are on the final straight of negotiations will enable us to reach last year’s level both in terms of net sales and operating profit, as estimated earlier. The strengthening of the order book was, however, delayed to the very last minute, which means that the rest of the year will be extremely uneven with regard to both net sales and the accumulation of operating profit. Nevertheless, I believe that our delivery ability, proven in earlier years, will be up to achieving the required final sprint and the result we predicted. This will call for successful work from both us and our partners.
SECOND QUARTER OF 2016
Order intake and order book
The order intake in the second quarter, EUR 16 million (MEUR 31), was at an extremely low level. Technology services accounted for EUR 9 million (MEUR 9) of the order intake.
The order book declined during the second quarter, amounting to EUR 32 million at the end of the period (MEUR 100).
Net sales
Second-quarter net sales amounted to EUR 27.3 million (MEUR 31.8). Technology services accounted for 37 percent of the Group’s total net sales (37%).
Result and profitability
Operating profit in the second quarter was EUR 1.5 million positive (MEUR 2.2 positive) and accounted for 6 percent (7%) of net sales. The result was EUR 1.2 million positive (MEUR 1.7 positive), and earnings per share were EUR +0.29 (EUR +0.43).
RAUTE CORPORATION – INTERIM REPORT JANUARY 1 – JUNE 30, 2016
BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT
Market situation in customer industries
Raute’s customers in the plywood and LVL (Laminated Veneer Lumber) industries are engaged in the manufacturing of wood products used in investment projects and are thus highly affected by fluctuations in construction, housing-related consumption, international trade, and transportation.
The situation in the global economy and the financial markets in the early months of 2016 did not change considerably with respect to Raute or Raute’s customer base.
Europe’s economy has continued to strengthen slightly. Russia’s economy continues to be weak although the first signs of stabilization and improvement have been detected. China’s measures to strengthen its economy have still not materialized as increased investments among Raute’s customers. The domestic markets of major South American countries were weak. In part due to weaker currencies, Chilean and Brazilian plywood manufacturers have increased their exports to Europe and North America, which will tighten competition in these markets.
Construction activity has remained at a low level in all market areas, including North America, where the economy in general continues its positive growth and construction shows signs of steady recovery. Due to the market situation described above, Raute’s customers’ order books have remained short, which has not made for an attractive environment for implementing investments.
Demand for wood products technology and technology services
The demand for Raute’s technology and services was conflicting during the period under review. Invitations to tender for projects and even active negotiations were relatively high in number, but very few of these translated into decisions and orders. Negotiations for several mill-scale projects continued actively and have led to the starting up of projects soon after the end of the reporting period. Demand for spare parts and services remained at a good level.
ORDER INTAKE AND ORDER BOOK
Raute serves the wood products industry with a full-service concept based on service that encompasses the entire life cycle of the delivered equipment. Raute’s business consists of project deliveries and technology services. Project deliveries encompass projects from individual machine or production line deliveries to deliveries of all the machines and equipment belonging to a mill’s production process. Additionally, Raute’s full-service concept includes comprehensive technology services ranging from spare parts deliveries to regular maintenance and equipment modernizations, as well as consulting, training and reconditioned machinery.
The order intake during the reporting period, EUR 28 million (MEUR 115), was extremely low. Of the new orders, 39 percent came from Europe (77%), 21 percent from North America (10%), 29 percent from Russia (6%), 7 percent from South America (3%) and 4 percent from Asia-Pacific (4%). The second quarter accounted for EUR 16 million of the order intake.
Order intake in technology services amounted to EUR 19 million (MEUR 19), 1 percent down from the comparison period, due to the low number of investment-type modernization orders.
The order book weakened during the second quarter by EUR 12 million, amounting to EUR 32 million at the end of the period (MEUR 100). The order book at the end of the reporting period was at a low level due to the low order intake. At the comparison date June 30, 2015, the order book was at a record high level due to the high order intake volume in the corresponding period in 2015.
COMPETITIVE POSITION
Raute’s competitive position has remained unchanged and is good. Raute’s solutions help customers in securing their delivery and service capabilities throughout the life cycle of the production process or its part. In such investments, the supplier’s overall expertise and extensive and diverse technology offering play a key role. The competitive edge provided by Raute plays a major role when customers select their cooperation partners. Raute’s strong financial position and long-term dedication to serving selected customer industries also enhance its credibility and improve its competitive position as a company that carries out long-term investment projects.
NET SALES
Net sales for the reporting period, EUR 53.7 million (MEUR 56.4), fell 5 percent on the comparison period.
Of the total net sales for the reporting period, Europe accounted for 63 percent (63%), North America for 15 percent (12%), Russia for 15 percent (10%), Asia-Pacific for 5 percent (5%), and South America for 3 percent (10%).
Technology services accounted for 35 percent (39%) and EUR 19 million (MEUR 22) of the Group’s total net sales during the period. Net sales for technology services decreased 14 percent over the comparison period due to the low number of new modernization orders.
RESULT AND PROFITABILITY
Operating profit for the reporting period was EUR 2.9 million positive (MEUR 3.4 positive) and accounted for 5 percent of net sales (6%). Other operating income for the reporting period includes project-business-related insurance compensation of EUR 0.9 million received in the first quarter.
The result before taxes for the reporting period was EUR 2.8 million positive (MEUR 3.5 positive). The result for the reporting period was EUR 2.1 million positive (MEUR 2.8 positive). Earnings per share (undiluted) were EUR 0.51 (EUR 0.70).
CASH FLOW AND BALANCE SHEET
The Group’s financial position remained good. At the end of the reporting period, gearing was 17 percent (-46%) and the equity ratio 59 percent (56%). Fluctuations in balance sheet working capital items and the key figures based on them are due to differences in the timing of customer payments and the cost accumulation from project deliveries, which is typical of the project business.
The Group’s cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR 1.6 million (MEUR 13.8) at the end of the reporting period. Operating cash flow was EUR 5.4 million negative (MEUR 12.8 positive). Cash flow from investment activities was EUR 1.6 million negative (MEUR 0.7 negative). Cash flow from financing activities was EUR 2.1 million positive (MEUR 2.8 negative), including dividend payments of EUR 3.3 million and debt repayments of EUR 0.6 million. A total of EUR 5.6 million in short-term loans was drawn down to finance working capital items.
Interest-bearing liabilities amounted to EUR 6.4 million (MEUR 2.2) at the end of the reporting period.
The parent company Raute Corporation has a EUR 10 million commercial paper program, which allows the company to issue commercial papers maturing in less than one year.
The parent company Raute Corporation is prepared for future working capital needs and has long-term credit facility agreements with three Nordic banks totaling EUR 23.0 million. The main covenants for the credit facility are an equity ratio of >30% and gearing of <100%. Of the credit facilities, EUR 18 million remained unused at the end of the reporting period.
EVENTS DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD
Raute Corporation published stock exchange releases on the following events:
January 18, 2016 Advance information on Raute Group’s 2015 net sales and operating profit
March 31, 2016 Decisions of Raute’s Annual General Meeting
June 3, 2016 Notification pursuant to the Finnish Securities Markets Act, Chapter 9, Section 5 (flagging notification)
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS AND CAPITAL EXPENDITURE
Raute is a leading technology supplier for the plywood and LVL industries and focuses strongly on the development of increasingly efficient, productive and environmentally friendly manufacturing technology and supporting measurement and machine vision applications. Opportunities provided by digitalization are also an essential part of R&D activities.
Research and development costs in the reporting period amounted to EUR 1.6 million (MEUR 1.0), representing 2.9 percent of net sales (1.8%).
Capital expenditure during the period came to EUR 1.7 million (MEUR 0.5) and accounted for 3.1 percent (0.9%) of net sales.
The clearly higher level of both research and development costs and investments results from the timing of projects and the use of resources during a falling order book. The difference compared to the previous year will level out during the second half of the year.
PERSONNEL
During the reporting period, the Group’s personnel grew by 4 people, numbering 650 (640) at the end of the reporting period. Group companies outside Finland accounted for 29 percent (31%) of employees.

BUSINESS RISKS
Risks in the near term continue to be driven by the uncertainty relating to the global economic situation and the development of the financial markets, as well as by international political instability. During the reporting period, there were no essential changes in the business risks described in the 2015 Board of Directors’ Report and Financial Statements.
The most significant risks for Raute in the near term are related to major mill-scale projects, which are in the implementation phase, in accordance with the schedule determined in contract terms, and the development of the order intake.
OUTLOOK FOR 2016
Based on the existing order book and the prevailing market situation, Raute’s net sales and operating profit for 2016 are expected to remain at the same level as in 2015.
