CONTINUED GROWTH - CLEARLY IMPROVED PROFITABILITY AND CASH FLOW
Salcomp Plc Stock Exchange Release 3 May, 2007 at 08:20 Finnish time
Salcomp Plc Interim Report January 1 - March 31, 2007
CONTINUED GROWTH - CLEARLY IMPROVED PROFITABILITY AND CASH FLOW
-The January-March net sales increased by 15% to EUR 62.3 million.
-Number of chargers sold grew by 15% to 55.6 million pieces.
-Salcomp's market share in mobile phone chargers, about 22%, increased slightly.
-Operating profit grew by 26% to EUR 5.1 million.
-Earnings per share, excluding the calculative tax item, were EUR 0.11.
-The cash flow from business operations reached EUR 10.4 million.
-Outlook for the rest of the year remains unchanged: The 2007 net sales are
expected to grow somewhat faster than the average growth of the mobile phone
charger market. It is estimated that both the operating profit and the earnings
per share will clearly increase from the previous year.
Markku Hangasjärvi, President and CEO:
”During the first quarter of 2007, our business operations saw a favourable
trend. Both the net sales and the number of chargers sold increased by 15%
compared with the corresponding period last year. With the exchange rates of the
previous year, the increase in net sales would have been 23%. Profitability and
cash flow also saw a favourable trend due to growth and continued cost
management.
According to the estimates by the market research companies, about 252 million
mobile phones were sold in the first quarter of 2007, which is some 12% more
than on the same period last year. This means that our market share in the
mobile phone chargers grew slightly compared with the first quarter in 2006 and
was approximately 22%.
Construction work for the charger production plant to be completed in India is
progressing as planned with production to start in June. The plant will increase
and balance our global production and give us a clear competitive edge in the
rapidly-expanding mobile phone charger markets of India and its neighbouring
areas.
The mobile phone market is expected to grow during 2007 by approximately 10%,
i.e. in terms of number of units, reaching approximately 1.1 billion mobile
phones and, therefore, mobile phone chargers. This means an added demand of
approximately 100 million mobile phone chargers compared with last year. Market
growth forms a good basis from which to continue increasing our net sales and,
therefore, a favourable profitability trend in 2007.”
Net Sales and Result
Salcomp's net sales increased by 15% in January-March to EUR 62.3 million (EUR
53.9 million in 1-3/2006). The number of chargers sold was 55.6 million (48.2
million). The market share in mobile phone chargers grew slightly compared with
the first quarter of 2006 and was approximately 22%.
The Group's operating profit in the first quarter amounted to EUR 5.1 million
(EUR 4.1 million). The operating profit percentage was 8.2% (7.5%). In addition
to increased net sales, an increase in productivity and continued cost
management also contributed to improved profitability.
The Group's net financial expenses were EUR 0.8 million (EUR 1.1 million).
Financial expenses for the period were reduced by the lesser amount of debt.
Taxes for the period totalled EUR 0.9 million (EUR 1.0 million). They include a
calculative item of EUR 0.7 million, resulting from the parent company's
tax-deductible goodwill amortization.
Salcomp's net result totalled EUR 3.4 million (EUR 1.9 million) Earnings per
share, excluding the calculative tax item, amounted to EUR 0.11 (EUR 0.08).
Earnings per share were EUR 0.09 (EUR 0.06).
R&D and Capital Expenditure
In January-March, the Group's R&D expenditure was EUR 0.9 million (EUR 1.2
million), or 1.5% of net sales (2.2 %). R&D focused on developing new products
for key customers and on improving the product cost structure.
Capital expenditure in January-March amounted to EUR 3.6 million (EUR 1.3
million). Capital expenditure mainly involved the construction of the plant in
India, which has progressed as planned, now having reached the machinery set-up
stage. Production will begin in June.
Financing
During the first quarter, the cash flow from business operations was EUR 10.4
million (EUR 7.4 million in the negative) due to positive result development and
reduced working capital. The factors contributing to the reduction in sales
receivables, and, therefore, working capital, included a sales program for sales
receivables, since assets released from the program, EUR 5.6 million, were used
to repay interest-bearing loans.
The Group's equity ratio at the end of March was 31.3% (30.5 %) and gearing was
68.3% (99.7%). Interest-bearing net debt totalled EUR 36.9 million (EUR 47.7
million) at the end of the period.
AGM decisions
The Annual General Meeting of Salcomp Plc was held in Helsinki on March 29,
2007. The 2006 Financial Statements were approved at the AGM and the members of
the Board and the President and CEO were discharged from liability.
In accordance with the Board's proposal, the AGM decided to pay dividend of EUR
0.06 per share. The dividend was paid out on April 12, 2007.
The AGM decided to leave the composition of the Board of Directors unchanged.
Thus, the Members of the Board of Directors until the conclusion of the 2008
Annual General Meeting are Kari Vuorialho as its Chairman, Jorma Terentjeff as
Vice-Chairman, as well as Panu Halonen, Timo Leinilä, Petri Myllyneva and
Andreas Tallberg. The AGM decided that the remuneration for the Board of
Directors would also remain unchanged.
The Authorized Public Accountants KPMG Oy Ab will continue as the Company
auditor.
Based on the Board of Directors' proposal, a decision was made to amend the
Articles of Association to better comply with the new Companies Act, valid from
September 1, 2006.
The AGM authorized the Board of Directors to decide on offering a maximum of
8,000,000 new shares for subscription. The authorization is valid until 30 June
2008. The authorization has not yet been acted upon.
The AGM decided, in accordance with the Board's proposal, to reduce the share
premium account on the Parent Company's balance sheet on 31 December 2006 by
transferring the total amount of the share premium account, EUR 23,690,992.21,
into the Company's invested free equity fund. The registration of the decision
requires the implementation of publication proceedings according to Chapter 14
of the Companies Act.
The Board proposal of granting stock options to the company's key personnel was
approved. The stock options will give the right to subscribe for up to 2,047,500
shares of the company. The Company's Board of Directors is yet to decide on the
granting of the stock options.
Personnel
The Group employed 7,786 (6,997) people at the end of March: approximately 6,600
people in China and approximately 1,100 people in Brazil. The increase in the
number of personnel was mostly due to increased production volumes.
Shares and Shareholders
Salcomp's share price fluctuated between EUR 2.63 and EUR 3.40. The closing
price at the end of March was EUR 3.16. Share trading amounted to EUR 13.7
million and consisted of 4.5 million shares. According to the book-entry system,
Salcomp had 977 shareholders at the end of the period. Foreign ownership was
62.9% of the shares.
Outlook for the rest of 2007
According to the estimates published by Salcomp's main customers and to the
various market research companies, the mobile phone market is expected to
increase during 2007 by approximately 10%, compared with 2006. Measured by the
number of units, this means approximately 1.1 billion mobile phones, and,
therefore chargers, to be sold during the current year.
The estimated increase in the mobile phone charger market, and the strong market
position of Salcomp, form a good basis to achieve further increases in net
sales. In line with the previous outlook, the 2007 net sales are expected to
grow somewhat faster than the average growth of the mobile phone charger market.
In line with the previous outlook, it is estimated that both the operating
profit and the earnings per share will clearly increase from the previous year.
