TAPANI KIISKI, PRESIDENT AND CEO: UNCERTAINTY SURROUNDING THE IMPROVEMENT OF DEMAND

Our net sales saw growth in the second quarter and were almost back to their pre-recession level, and our operating result rose into the black. The loss we posted for the entire first part of 2011 was only half of last year’s figure. Profitability in the second quarter was still somewhat weakened by drawn-out project implementation. Delays in achieving production capacity for mill-scale deliveries and any additional costs that might be incurred from them are major risks in the project business.

The trend in the demand for wood products has remained favorable in the past few months, except in North America, where construction is still at a very low ebb. Thanks to the brighter market situation, the wood products industry has stepped up its utilization rates and is more willing to invest. The rise in capacity utilization in the wood products industry has been most clearly evident in the demand for our technology services. During the first half of the year, the wood products industry announced investment plans targeting to build new capacity in South America.

In our view, uncertainty about the development of the financial markets, the threat of a new recession, and the search for suitable financing solutions have caused the wood products industry to deliberate longer on investment decisions, especially in Europe and Russia. Our projects that are currently under negotiation now once again involve greater uncertainty in terms of implementation and scheduling. In spite of this, we expect to see a positive trend in our order intake in the next few months, paving the way for better profitability and a positive full-year result for 2011.


SECOND QUARTER OF 2011

Order intake and order book

Order intake during the second quarter totaled EUR 9 million (MEUR 9). Technology services accounted for EUR 4 million (MEUR 5) of the new orders. Order intake remained low because many of the projects that had been expected to get the go-ahead in the second quarter were pushed back due to uncertainties concerning market trends and financing.

The most significant new orders were for the delivery of an automated veneer patching line and peeling line to Russia.

The order book declined by EUR 13 million during the past quarter, amounting to EUR 35 million (MEUR 28) at the end of the reporting period.

Net sales

Second-quarter net sales amounted to EUR 23.1 million (MEUR 19.5). The brighter market prospects of the company’s customer industries increased demand, which contributed to net sales growth.

Technology services accounted for 26 percent of total net sales (24%).

Result and profitability

The operating result for the second quarter was EUR 0.8 million positive (MEUR 0.1 positive), representing 4 percent (1%) of net sales. The second-quarter result was EUR 0.5 million positive (MEUR 0.1 negative) and earnings per share were EUR 0.13 (EUR -0.03).

 

RAUTE CORPORATION – INTERIM REPORT JANUARY 1 – JUNE 30, 2011


BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT

Market situation in customer industries

Raute’s customers in the veneer, plywood, and LVL (Laminated Veneer Lumber) industries are engaged in the manufacturing of wood products used in investment commodities and are thus highly dependent on cyclical fluctuations in construction, housing-related consumption, international trade, and transportation.

During the reporting period, the market situation in Raute’s customer industries continued to improve gradually, with the exception of North America. Outside North America, most plywood and LVL manufacturers are operating at either good or normal utilization rates. However, in North America, the housing market and construction have once again headed downward, and market demand for wood products remained very muted.

Demand for wood products technology and technology services

During the reporting period, demand for wood products technology and technology services was at a normal level in view of the market situation in the customer industries. Demand focused on smaller projects and especially on modernizations, as is typical now that the market is recovering.

Numerous larger projects – both individual production lines and complete mills – have been under prolonged negotiation and planning in many market areas. Customers will decide to go ahead with these projects only once they are confident that the market has recovered permanently.


ORDER INTAKE AND ORDER BOOK

Raute’s business consists of providing project deliveries and technology services to the wood products industry. Project deliveries encompass complete mills, production lines, and individual machines and equipment. Technology services include maintenance, spare parts services, modernization, consulting, training, and reconditioned machinery.

Order intake during the reporting period totaled EUR 39 million (MEUR 34). 59 percent of the new orders came from Russia (9%), 25 percent from Europe (22%), 7 percent from South America (3%), 7 percent from North America (15%), and 2 percent from Asia-Pacific (51%).

The most significant new order was received in January for the delivery of plywood mill machinery valued at more than EUR 12 million to Russia. The low order intake from Asia and South America during the reporting period can be explained by customers’ scheduling of their projects.

Technology services accounted for EUR 11 million (MEUR 8) of the order intake.

During the reporting period, the order book grew by EUR 2 million, amounting to EUR 35 million (MEUR 28) at its end.


COMPETITIVE POSITION

Raute’s competitive position is good. Raute’s solutions help customers in securing their delivery and service capabilities. In such investments, the supplier’s end-to-end expertise and extensive, wide-ranging technology offering play a key role. The competitive edge provided by Raute is also a major draw when customers select their cooperation partners. Furthermore, Raute’s strong financial position enhances its credibility and improves its competitive position in the implementation of long-term investment projects.


NET SALES

Net sales for the reporting period, EUR 37.8 million (MEUR 30.0), were up 26 percent year-on-year. Demand increased in step with the brighter market prospects of the company’s customer industries, contributing to net sales growth.

Of the total net sales for the reporting period, Russia accounted for 33 percent (49%), Asia-Pacific for 25 percent (19%), North America for 10 percent (15%), Europe for 26 percent (13%), and South America for 6 percent (4%). 

Net sales of technology services grew by 39 percent and accounted for 33 percent of total net sales (30%).


RESULT AND PROFITABILITY

The operating result was EUR 0.6 million negative (MEUR 1.3 negative), representing -2 percent of net sales (-4%).

The company posted a loss for the reporting period due to additional costs incurred from the drawn-out implementation of some projects that were in the installation phase.

The result before taxes for the reporting period was EUR 0.8 million negative (MEUR 1.3 negative) and the result was EUR 0.7 million negative (MEUR 1.1 negative). Earnings per share (undiluted) were EUR -0.19 (EUR -0.27).


CASH FLOW AND BALANCE SHEET

The Group’s financial position is good. At the end of the reporting period, gearing was -36 percent (-75%) and the equity ratio was 50 percent (45%). Other fluctuations in balance sheet 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 project business.

The Group’s cash and cash equivalents, including financial assets recognized at fair value through profit or loss, amounted to EUR 19.1 million (MEUR 32.8) at the end of the reporting period. Operating cash flow was EUR -0.8 million (MEUR +6.9). Cash flow from investment activities was EUR -0.6 million (MEUR -0.5). Cash flow from financing activities was EUR -3.3 million (MEUR -1.1), including dividends of EUR 1.2 million (MEUR 0.0).

At the end of the reporting period, interest-bearing liabilities amounted to EUR 11.1 million (MEUR 16.5), of which EUR 3.3 million (MEUR 4.4) were current interest-bearing liabilities.

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 company also has unused bilateral credit facilities totaling EUR 10 million with two different Nordic banks.

Other holders of series K shares have the right to redeem the share under the terms specified in Article 4 of the Articles of Association.

Raute Corporation’s series A shares are listed on NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd. The trading code is RUTAV. Raute Corporation has signed a market making agreement with Nordea Bank Finland Plc in compliance with the Liquidity Providing (LP) requirements issued by NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd.

The company’s market capitalization at the end of the reporting period was EUR 39.3 million (MEUR 29.5), with series K shares valued at the closing price of the series A shares on June 30, 2011, which was EUR 9.81 (EUR 7.37).

The Annual General Meeting held on April 13, 2011 authorized the company’s Board of Directors to decide on the buyback of Raute Corporation series A shares with distributable funds and on a directed share issue. The maximum number of shares to be repurchased and issued is 400,000. The Board of Directors did not exercise the authorization during the reporting period.

The company did not hold any treasury shares during the reporting period.


STOCK OPTION SCHEME 2010

The Annual General Meeting held on March 31, 2010 resolved to issue a maximum of 240,000 stock options. 

In accordance with the authorization granted by the Annual General Meeting, the Board of Directors issued a total of 75,000 stock options marked with the symbol 2010 B to key employees of the Group on May 31, 2011.

No flagging notifications were given to the company during the reporting period.


CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Raute Corporation complies with the Finnish Corporate Governance Code for listed companies issued by the Securities Market Association on June 15, 2010. Raute deviates from Recommendation 22 on appointing members to the Appointments Committee in that one member to the Committee is elected from outside the Board of Directors, as per the company’s Administrative Instructions, from among the representatives of major shareholders who have significant voting rights. In the Board’s view, it has a good reason to deviate from the recommendation due to the company’s ownership structure; when selecting Board members, the company can thus meet the expectations of its major shareholders early in the preparation phase. The main points of Raute Corporation’s corporate governance principles are presented on the company’s Internet site at www.raute.com.

Raute Corporation’s Corporate Governance Statement 2010 has been drawn up separately from the Board of Directors’ report and is published on the company’s Internet site.


ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2011

Raute Corporation’s Annual General Meeting was held on April 13, 2011. The Annual General Meeting confirmed the 2010 financial statements, granted discharge from liability to those accountable, and decided to distribute a dividend of EUR 0.30 per share.

The Annual General Meeting elected the Board of Directors for the term of office ending at the next Annual General Meeting in 2012. Mr. Erkki Pehu-Lehtonen, M.Sc. (Eng.), was elected as Chairman of the Board, Ms. Sinikka Mustakallio, Researcher, as Vice Chair, and Mr. Risto Hautamäki, M.Sc. (Eng.), Mr. Ilpo Helander, M.Sc. (Eng.), Mr. Mika Mustakallio, M.Sc. (Econ.), and Mr. Pekka Suominen, M.Sc. (Econ.) as members of the Board.

The Annual General Meeting elected authorized public accounting company PricewaterhouseCoopers Oy as auditors with Mr. Janne Rajalahti (Authorized Public Accountant) as the principal auditor.

The Annual General Meeting decided that the Chairman of the Board will be paid remuneration of EUR 40,000 and the Vice Chair of the Board and Board members EUR 20,000 for the term of office, and that the Board members will be reimbursed for their travel expenses as set out in the company’s travel policy. Compensation will be paid to the company’s auditors on the basis of reasonable invoices.

A stock exchange release detailing the decisions of the Annual General Meeting was published on April 13, 2011.    


DIVIDENDS FOR THE 2010 FINANCIAL YEAR

BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND BOARD COMMITTEES

Based on the evaluation of independence, Mr. Erkki Pehu-Lehtonen (Chairman) and Mr. Risto Hautamäki, Mr. Ilpo Helander, Mr. Mika Mustakallio, and Mr. Pekka Suominen (members) are independent of the company. Ms. Sinikka Mustakallio (Vice Chair), who chaired Raute’s Supervisory Board from 1996 to 1998 and has acted as a member of the Board since 1998, is dependent on the company.

Raute Corporation’s Board of Directors has an Appointments Committee and a Working Committee. The Appointments Committee is chaired by Mr. Erkki Pehu-Lehtonen and its members are Ms. Sinikka Mustakallio and Mr. Ville Korhonen, who was elected by the major shareholders from amongst their number. The Working Committee is chaired by Mr. Erkki Pehu-Lehtonen and its members are Ms. Sinikka Mustakallio and Mr. Risto Hautamäki. The Audit Committee’s tasks are handled by the Board of Directors.


BUSINESS RISKS

Risks in the near term continue to be driven by the global economic situation and uncertainty concerning its development. Threats related to the indebtedness of certain European countries and the United States have led to mounting nervousness about the trends in the global economy and financial markets. During the reporting period, there have been no essential changes in the business risks described in the 2010 Board of Directors’ report and financial statements. The most significant risks for Raute in the near term are related to the development of net sales and profitability.


OUTLOOK FOR 2011

Raute’s business operations are characterized by the sensitivity of investment demand to cyclical fluctuations in the global economy and the financial markets.

The outlook for the world economy and financial markets and their permanent recovery from the financial crisis remains fraught with uncertainty despite favorable development in many markets. The market situation for Raute’s customer industries is expected to remain somewhat uncertain. Demand for wood products has not yet permanently recovered to its pre-recession level. That said, concerns about the continuation and strength of recovery have increased in recent months due to the threats posed by the indebtedness of several European countries and the United States.

Demand for investments and services in the wood products industry is not expected to see a permanent recovery to its pre-recession level in the near future. However, upgrade investments in the plywood industry to ensure quality and maintain market shares will probably continue to increase. Production line and mill-scale investment projects are being planned in several market areas. Their implementation and timing will depend on how financing is arranged for customer projects in some market areas and whether the market situation for wood products continues to develop favorably.

Thanks to its strong financial and market position and the development measures it has carried out, Raute is well poised to respond to growing demand once the markets recover. The implemented adaptation measures have led to a lighter cost structure and business is now more profitable than before, even in a difficult market situation.

Raute’s profit outlook for 2011 remains unchanged. As a result of the order book and projects under negotiation, net sales for 2011 will increase from the previous year. The operating result is expected to be positive.
