Tulikivi Oyj - Company Announcement
Interim report 1-6/2010
Tulikivi Corporation Interim report
12 August 2010 at 11.40 a.m.
Interim report 1-6/2010
- The Tulikivi Group's second-quarter net sales were EUR 14.7
million (EUR 13.0 million, 4-6/2009), the operating profit was EUR
0.5 (-0.7) million and the result before taxes was EUR 0.2 (-0.9)
million.
- The Group's net sales during the report period were EUR 25.4
million (EUR 24.0 million, 1-6/2009), the operating profit was EUR
-1.3 (-3.4) million and the result before taxes was EUR -1.7 (-
3.9) million.
- Earnings per share amounted to EUR -0.04 (-0.08) in the report

- Cash flow from operating activities was EUR -2.1 (-1.4) million.
- Order books at the end of the period were at EUR 6.7 (6.5)
million.
- With the company's recovering sales and improved cost
efficiency, the full-year net sales are expected to be up from the
previous year and the result for the year is expected to be in the
black.
Managing Director's comments:
“With new building recovering in the second quarter, demand has
improved significantly in Finland and the neighbouring regions.
Demand for lining stone products also increased. In Central
Europe, consumers' reluctance to make major investment decisions
is having an impact on the sales of fireplaces.
“The Group's net sales will grow in the autumn as a result of
normal seasonal variation and the recovery in the construction
sector both in Finland and neighbouring regions, and sales will
also be boosted by new products launched during the first half of
the year. Furthermore, higher energy taxation in Finland will
motivate consumers to invest in saving energy. The company's
centralisation and productivity improvement programme will
continue to improve profitability in the latter half of the year.”
Segment reporting
The Group's operating segments are the Fireplaces Business and the
Natural Stone Products Business. The Fireplaces Business includes
soapstone and ceramic fireplaces sold under the Tulikivi and
Kermansavi brands and their accessories, and utility ceramics and
fireplace lining stones. The Natural Stone Products Business
includes interior decoration stone products for households and
stone deliveries to construction sites. Expenses not allocated to
a segment are included under ‘Other items', which also includes
financial expenses and taxes. Expenses not allocated to a segment
include expenses of the Group administration and expenses
pertaining to financial administration. The segment reporting has
been adjusted by allocating to the operating segments the data and
personnel administration expenses, which were previously included
in expenses not allocated to a segment. The comparison data has
been changed accordingly.

52.2 (50.5) per cent, of total net sales. Exports amounted to EUR
12.1 (11.9) million in net sales. The principal export countries
were France, Sweden and Germany. Export growth was held back by
the uncertainty affecting consumer decisions in the principal
markets.
The Group's operating profit was EUR -1.3 (-3.4) million. In
accordance with the Group's segment reporting, the operating
profit for the Fireplaces Business was EUR -0.3 (-2.4) million and

13.0 million, 4-6/2009) and profit before taxes was EUR 0.2 (-0.9)

in the period and came to EUR 9.4 million (EUR 8.9 million on 30

consolidated net financial expenses were EUR 0.5 (0.6) million.
The equity ratio was 35.8 per cent (39.6 per cent on 30 June
2009). The ratio of interest-bearing net debt to equity, or
gearing, was 84.4 (79.3) per cent. The current ratio was 1.8
(1.6). Equity per share was EUR 0.58 (0.62).
The Group has a solid financial position. At the end of the report
period, the Group's cash assets were EUR 8.4 (4.9) million and
unused credit limits amounted to EUR 1.0 (4.0) million.
The Group's investments in production, quarrying and development
were EUR 1.2 (0.9) million in the report period. Research and
development costs were EUR 0.9 (0.7) million, i.e. 3.6 (2.7) per
cent of net sales. EUR 0.2 (0.2) million of this was capitalised
in the balance sheet.
Product development focused on productisation of the Tulikivi
Green products and an interior design fireplace collection and
other new products. These products will complement and expand the
uses of fireplaces in household heating. Other large development
projects include development of the Group's processes and up-
dating of the enterprise resource planning system.
Personnel
The Group employed an average of 374 (393) people during the
report period. Salaries and bonuses during the report period
totalled EUR 7.8 (8.3) million.
The Tulikivi Group has an incentive plan that includes a share-
based incentive plan for the Managing Director and key personnel
and an incentive pay scheme for all personnel.
The share-based plan, introduced in 2008, comprises three earning
periods, which are the calendar years 2008, 2009 and 2010. The
bonus is determined on the basis of the Group's result after
financial items and the cash flow from operating activities after
investments. A maximum total of about 360 000 Series A shares and
a cash payment corresponding to the value of the shares can be
paid as rewards on the basis of the entire share-based incentive
plan. The maximum share reward for 2010 is 218 750 A shares and a
cash payment corresponding to the value of the shares. The
Managing Director's share of the share reward is a maximum of 50
000 shares.
The incentive pay scheme is based on the Group's result and on the
improvement in productivity, and the Managing Director and key
personnel also have personal targets in addition to this.
Annual General Meeting
Tulikivi Corporation's Annual General Meeting, held on 14 April
2010, resolved to pay a dividend of EUR 0.0250 on Series A shares
and EUR 0.0233 on Series K shares. The dividend payout date was 26
April 2010. The other decisions of the general meeting can be
found in the separate release published in the date of the
meeting.
Transfer of the funds of the share premium account to the reserve
for invested unrestricted equity
The decision of the Annual General Meeting taken on 14 April 2010
to transfer the funds of the share premium account to the reserve
for invested unrestricted equity has been entered in the Trade
Register and was announced on 6 May 2010. The due date for debtors
is 19 August 2010.
As decided by the Annual General Meeting, the share premium
account (part of the equity) on the company's balance sheet as of
31 December 2009 will be reduced by EUR 7 334 116.06, by
transferring all the funds in the share premium account on the
balance sheet as of 31 December 2009 to the reserve for invested
unrestricted equity.
Treasury shares
The company did not purchase or assign any of its own shares
during the report period. At the end of the period, the total
number of Tulikivi shares held by company was 124 200 Series A
shares, which corresponds to 0.3 per cent of the company's share
capital and 0.1 per cent of all voting rights.
Risks and uncertainties
The Group's near-term risks are mainly associated with the
increased uncertainty among consumers and the effect of this on
consumers' building and fireplace projects.
The risks and the means of preventing and controlling them are
presented in more detail in section 38 of the notes to the
financial statements in the 2009 Annual Report.
Future outlook
The increase in private house building in Finland will improve the
demand for Tulikivi products. Exports of lining stone products
will continue at a good level. In Central Europe the demand for
fireplaces varies by country but is expected to remain lower than
before as a whole. New products will improve the company's net
sales during the second half of the year.
With the company's recovering sales and improved cost efficiency,
the full-year consolidated net sales are expected to be up from
the previous year and the 2010 result before taxes is expected to
be positive.
The order books at the end of the report period amounted to EUR
6.7 million (EUR 6.5 million on 30 June 2009 and EUR 4.8 million
on 31 December 2009).
Strategy
The revised strategy put in place in the Group at the beginning of
the report period covers all key operating and financial targets
to the end of 2015. Under the strategy, the company's organic
growth target is an annual growth of over 10 per cent, and the
target for profit before taxes is 10 per cent of net sales over
the next five years. The target for return on equity is to exceed
20 per cent. Corporate acquisitions in support of the strategy are
also possible.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIALS STATEMENTS
This financial statement release has been prepared in accordance
with the IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting standard.
In preparing of this interim report, Tulikivi has applied same
accounting policies as in the 2009 financial statements, with the
exception of the following new/amended standards that the group
has adopted as from January 1, 2010:
- Revised IFRS 3 Business combinations (effective as of 1 July
2009). The revised standard includes several significant changes.
- Amendments to IAS 27 Consolidated and separate financial
statements (effective as of 1 July 2009). The amended standard
affects accounting for step acquisitions and divestments.
- Amendment to IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and
Measurement - Eligible hedged items (effective as of 1 July 2009)
- IFRIC 17 Distributions of Non-cash Assets to Owners (effective
as of 1 July 2009)
- IFRIC 18 Transfers of assets from customers (effective as of 1
July 2009)
- Improvements to IFRSs (April 2009, mainly effective as of 1
January 2010).
- Amendments to IFRS 2 Share-based Payment - Intra-group cash-
settled share-based payment transaction (effective as of 1 January
2010).
The Group's view is that the adoption of the standards and
interpretations mentioned above will not have any significant
effect on the financial statements of 2010 reporting period. The
adaptation of the revised IFRS 3 would affect the financial
statements of Tulikivi Group in 2010, should a transaction during
the financial period meet the definition of a business
combination.
The key performance ratios and share ratios are calculated using
the same methods as for the consolidated financial statements for
2009. The calculations rules can be found in the 2009 annual
report, page 76.
