INTERIM REPORT OF NORDIC ALUMINIUM PLC Jan 1 - September 30, 2010
Net sales of Nordic Aluminium were EUR 53.12 million (EUR 48.48 million year
2009). Earnings per share were EUR 1.90 (EUR 0.78). The operating profit for the
period was EUR 12.29 million (EUR 5.07 million) and the net profit was EUR 9.17
million (EUR 3.75 million).
Net sales and profitability
The net sales of Nordic Aluminium accounted for EUR 53.12 million (EUR 48.48
million). Profitability improved considerably because the operating profit more
than doubled from EUR 5.07 million to EUR 12.29 million. In accordance with the
new model of activity the Company has increased its core business turnover
during the period. The Company's core business includes electro technical
products, as well as highly refined aluminium component manufacturing.
International operations and export accounted for EUR 25.92 million (EUR 21.35
million), which is 49 per cent of the net sales (44 per cent).
The order backlog EUR 3.19 million is lower than in the previous year (EUR 4.29
million) due to the new model of activity and shorter delivery times.
Profits
The operating profit of Nordic Aluminium amounted to EUR 12.29 million (EUR 5.07
million). Earnings per share for the period were EUR 1.90 (EUR 0.78).
Third quarter in a nutshell
Net sales of Nordic Aluminium during July-September 2010 were EUR 16.40 million
(EUR 15.25 million, July-September 2009). Earnings per share were EUR 0.57 (EUR
0.28). The operating profit for the period was EUR 3.82 million (EUR 1.85
million).
Seasonality of sales and profit
Seasonal fluctuations are not significant in general. The concentration of
holidays to July 2010 did not have a notable effect on sales and profits.
Investments
The gross capital expenditures for the period were EUR 0.95 million (EUR 6.00
million).
Personnel
During the first nine months of 2010 the average number of employees in the
Nordic Aluminium Group was 156 (228). At the end of the period the number of
employees was 162 (182).
Risks
Main business risks are related to the uncertainty in the development of the
world economy and its influence on market demand.
Shares
The shares of Nordic Aluminium Plc are traded at the Helsinki Exchanges. The
trading identifier is NOA1V and the ISIN code is FI0009006415. During the first
nine months of the year 2010 a number of 312,464 shares were traded with EUR
6.08 million. The share quotation ranged between EUR 14.94 and EUR 27.82. The
number of shares was 4,836,882 which remained unchanged during the reporting
period. The market value of the company's shares stood at EUR 130.6 million (EUR
72.4 million) at the end of September.
Dividend from the financial year 2009 was EUR 1.30 per share, amounting to EUR
6,287,946.60.
Ownership
There were no significant changes in the ownership during the period (1-9/2010).
Outlook
Demand for the company's products has revived as a result of improved market
views, and as the company sees it the demand will stay at the same level to the
end of the year. The company will continue to comply with the new model of
activity, thus concentrate on manufacturing highly refined aluminium components.
The Board will carefully monitor the productivity development in order to ensure
that the company's profitability and competitiveness will remain at a high
level.
We still believe that the current year net sales will grow moderately compared
to 2009, and that the level of operating income will grow substantially from the
previous year. The company's cash flow will also improve significantly, despite
the payment of high dividends.
The above mentioned predictions are based on the company's management's best
view of the company's condition and market outlook.
