Scanfil - Quarterly report
SCANFIL PLC'C INTERIM REPORT 1 JANUARY - 31 MARCH 2007
SCANFIL PLC'C INTERIM REPORT 1 JANUARY - 31 MARCH 2007
- Turnover for the first quarter of 2007 totalled EUR 52,2 million
(60,1 in the corresponding period 2006)
- Operating profit was EUR 3,6 (- 3,4) million, which is 6,8 (-5,7) % of
turnover. Operating profit includes EUR 0.7 million of capital gains from the
sale of fixed assets.
- Profit for the review period was EUR 3,1 (- 4,5) million
- Earnings per share were EUR 0,05 (- 0,08)
DEVELOPMENT OF OPERATIONS
The situation in the market for telecommunications network products remained
unchanged from the last quarter of the previous year. Industry restructurings
and very aggressive price competition from lower-cost countries also affected
demand in the first quarter. Demand for telecommunications network products was
at a lower level than in the corresponding period last year.
Demand from industrial electronics customers developed positively during the
review period, and production volumes increased year-on-year. The impact of
emerging markets is also more and more evident in the production of industrial
electronics products, as customers are moving production to growing markets.
Due to market changes, Scanfil's Asian operations have continued to grow. During
the period, the Chinese plants' sales, including deliveries to the Group's other
plants, accounted for 34% of the Group's total sales (approx. 32% in 2006 and
25% in the corresponding period last year). Nearly half of the employees, 49%,
are working in the Chinese subsidiaries.
In Europe, the 5,800 square metre expansion of the Hungarian plant's production
facilities was opened for production during the review period. With an agreement
signed on 20 March 2007, Scanfil plc's Belgian subsidiary Scanfil N.V. sold its
Belgian plant property at a price that was EUR 0.6 million higher than the
balance sheet value.
During the review period, Scanfil carried out employer-employee negotiations in
Finland regarding the Äänekoski and Oulu plants, and the salaried employees of
the Sievi units and Group administration. As a result of the negotiations, the
production of the Äänekoski and Oulu plants will be transferred to the Group's
other plants and Group administration operations will be adjusted to correspond
to the new market situation. The aim of these measures is to improve and
maintain Scanfil's profitability, cost-efficiency and competitiveness in the
rapidly changing contract manufacturing market.
On 26 January 2007, Scanfil plc's Board of Directors appointed Mr Harri Takanen
(38), MSc (Eng), as the company's new President. He will take up his new duties
on 15 May 2007.
FINANCIAL DEVELOPMENT
As predicted, the Group's turnover for January-March fell compared with the
previous year, amounting to EUR 52.2 (60.1) million, down 13% year-on-year.
Distribution of turnover based on the location of customers was as follows:
Finland 41 (44) %, rest of Europe 28 (30) %, Asia 29 (24) %, USA 1 (2) % and the
others 1 (0) %.
In spite of a difficult and challenging market situation, the company was able
to keep profitability at a satisfactory level through cost-efficient operations.
Operating profit was EUR 3,6 (-3,4) million, representing 6,8 (-5,7)% of
turnover. Earnings for the review period amounted to EUR 3,1 (-4,5) million.
Earnings per share were EUR 0,05 (-0,08) and return on investment was 11,3
(-9,5)%.
EUR 0.7 million of capital gains from the sale of fixed assets were recognised
as income in the first quarter.
Owing to the structure of the company's operations, the effects of change in
exchange rates on the result were minimal. As growth shifts to the Asian
operations, the impact of fluctuations in the dollar exchange rate on company's
operations may increase.
FINANCING AND CAPITAL EXPENDITURE
The Group enjoys a strong financial position. Liabilities amounted to EUR 47,7
(75,7) million, EUR 40,2 (57,8) million of which were non-interest-bearing and
EUR 7,5 (17,9) million interest-bearing.
Liquid cash assets totalled EUR 36,5 (52,0) million. The equity ration was 73,3
(61,3)% and gearing -22,2 (-28,6)%.
Cash flow from operating activities totalled EUR 1.6 (15.1) million, and the
change in working capital was EUR -1.9 (10.0) million. The dividends approved by
the Annual General Meeting on 12 April 2007, EUR 5.9 million, will be recognised
in the second quarter. In the previous year, the dividends of EUR 6.0 million
were recognised on 31 March 2006 under short-term liabilities.
Gross investments in fixed assets totalled EUR 0,6 (1,2) million, which is 1,2
(2,0)% of turnover. Depreciations were EUR 2,0 (2,3) million.
DECISIONS BY THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS' AUTHORISATION
Scanfil plc's Annual General Meeting, held on 12 April 2007, adopted the
financial statements for 2006 and discharged the Board of Directors and the
President from liability.
According to Board of Directors' proposal The Annual General Meeting decided to
distribute dividend of EUR 0,10 per share or a total of EUR 5,871,582.10. The
record date for the payment of dividend was 17 April 2007 and the date of
payment of the dividend was 24 April 2007.
The meeting resolved that the Board of Directors consists of five members.
Asa-Matti Lyyytinen, Jorma J. Takanen, Reijo Pöllä, Jarkko Takanen and Tuomo
Lähdesmäki were re-elected as members of the Board of Directors. In it's
meeting, held after the General Meeting, the Board of Directors elected Jorma J.
Takanen as the Chairman of the Board of Directors and Asa-Matti Lyytinen as Vice
Chairman of the Board of Directors.
The Annual General Meeting authorised the Board of Directors to decide on the
purchase of the company's own shares using funds available for the distribution
of profit and on the disposal of own shares in accordance with the Board of
Directors' proposal.
The Board of Directors has no existing share issue authorisations or
authorisations to issue convertible bonds with warrants.
OWN SHARES
On 31 March 2007, the company owned a total of 1,998,449 of its own shares, the
counter-book value of which totalled EUR 499,612 and which represented 3.3% of
the company's share capital and votes.
During the review period, the company disposed of 1,551 of its own shares in
conjunction with the share-based profit-sharing scheme of the Group's Management
Team.
SHARE TRADING AND SHARE PERFORMANCE
The highest trading price during the review period was EUR 2.49 and the lowest
EUR 2.13, the closing price for the period standing at EUR 2.23. A total of
2,620,548 shares were traded during the period, corresponding to 4.3% of the
total number of shares. The market value of the shares on 31 March 2007 was EUR
135,4 million.
PERSONNEL
Scanfil Group's personnel averaged 2,117 (2,199) employees during the review
period and the company employed 2,113 (2,127) employees at the end of the review
period, of whom 1,509 (1,408) were employed in the company's foreign plants.
EVENTS AFTER THE REVIEW PERIOD
After the review period, the company has entered into a preliminary agreement to
sell the Äänekoski plant property.
FUTURE PROSPECTS
Market demand for telecommunications networks and the related services is
expected to grow only slightly in the ongoing year. Tough price competition,
market changes and the replacement of current high-volume products with new,
more inexpensive telecommunications network products that have a simpler
structure will gain strength in 2007, which is why turnover from this product
group is predicted to fall this year.
Demand from industrial electronics customers is expected to develop positively
during the year.
Based on available forecasts, Scanfil plc's sales for 2007 are expected to fall
short of the 2006 level. Profitability for the full year is estimated to be at a
satisfactory level.
Scanfil plc's primary goals for 2007 are improving and maintaining profitability
as well as developing operations, taking account of changes in the market and
changing customer needs. In addition to actions directed at profitability, the
company's good financial standing provides an opportunity to actively seek
various means and arrangements that will put Scanfil's operations back on a
growth track.
OPERATIONAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Uncertainty in the market will continue and predictability is extremely poor.
Due to product changes and industry restructurings, the production of certain
high-volume products will end during the ongoing year, and there is, as yet, no
certainty of the production of substitute products.
