Lassila & Tikanoja - Interim report (Q1 and Q3)

Lassila & Tikanoja plc: Interim report 1 January - 30 June 2012


Helsinki, Finland, 2012-07-24 07:00 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 

Net sales for the second quarter EUR 169.7 million (EUR 162.2 million);
operating profit EUR 14.1 million (EUR 8.9 million); operating profit excluding
non-recurring items EUR 12.1 million (EUR 9.7 million); earnings per share EUR
0.24 (EUR 0.19) 
Net sales for January-June EUR 341.0 million (EUR 321.7 million); operating
profit EUR 19.1 million (EUR 15.3 milion); operating profit excluding
non-recurring items EUR 17.2 million (EUR 16.5 million); earnings per share EUR
0.31 (EUR 0.29) 
Full-year net sales in 2012 are expected to remain at the 2011 level. Operating
profit, excluding non-recurring items, is expected to remain at the 2011 level
or improve slightly. 


CEO PEKKA OJANPÄÄ:
“Our performance in the second quarter was in line with our expectations, and
measures taken to improve profitability began to produce results. 
Environmental Services primarily accounted for the increase in our operating
profit excluding non-recurring items. Completion of the oil re-refinery
business rearrangement will simplify the structure of our business portfolio,
and provide more resources for key business development.  Implementation of key
projects underway to optimise logistics, lower working capital and develop
procurement operations will continue in the second half.” 


GROUP NET SALES AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

Second quarter
Lassila & Tikanoja's net sales for the second quarter increased by 4.6% to EUR
169.7 million (EUR 162.2 million). Operating profit was EUR 14.1 million (EUR
8.9 million), representing 8.3% (5.5%) of net sales, and operating profit
excluding non-recurring items was EUR 12.1 million (EUR 9.7 million). Earnings
per share were EUR 0.24 (EUR 0.19). 

Net sales grew in all divisions apart from Cleaning and Office Support
Services, growth being primarily organic. Demand for waste management and
process cleaning services, and for wood-based fuels in particular, perked up
from the comparison period. 

Profitability in the quarter improved thanks to volume growth in Environmental
Services and good  performance in shutdown-related work in the industry sector.
The joint venture L&T Recoil was also able to improve its profitability, and
Renewable Energy Sources to halve its losses. Non-recurring compensation of EUR
0.7 million paid in accordance with the collective labour agreement taxed the
profitability. 

A non-recurring capital gain of EUR 4.2 million was recorded for the quarter,
from the sale of holdings in the joint venture L&T Recoil Oy, and non-recurring
costs totalling EUR 2.2 million from the rearrangement and efficiency
enhancement measures taken in Environmental Services and in the Swedish
business. 

January-June
Lassila & Tikanoja's net sales for January-June amounted to EUR 341.0 million
(EUR 321.7 million); an 
increase of 6.0%. Operating profit was EUR 19.1 million (EUR 15.3 million),
representing 5.6% (4.8%) of net 
sales, and operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 17.2 million
(EUR 16.5 million). Earnings per 
share were EUR 0.31 (EUR 0.29).

Net sales grew in the first half, thanks to stronger demand for Environmental
Services and wood-based fuels. More than half of the growth seen in the first
half was organic. 

Operating profit excluding non-recurring items improved slightly from the
comparison period; this could be attributed to volume growth in Environmental
Services and smaller fixed costs in Renewable Energy Sources. Performance in
January-June was taxed by the increase seen in the first quarter in fuel and
repair costs in Environmental Services, and in subcontracting and labour costs
in Property Maintenance.

* Breakdown of operating profit excluding non-recurring items is presented
below the division reviews. 


NET SALES AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE BY DIVISION
Environmental Services

Second quarter
The division's net sales for the second quarter were up by 5.5% to EUR 88.1
million (EUR 83.5 million). Operating profit totalled EUR 14.6 million (EUR 9.2
million) and operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 11.2
million (EUR 9.2 million). 

Strong demand for waste management and process cleaning services powered the
division's net sales upwards. In addition, recycling volumes grew and the
prices of secondary raw materials stayed at a healthy level. Growth in the
quarter was primarily organic. 

The division's operating profit improved from the comparison period, thanks to
volume growth in waste management services and a good performance in
shutdown-related work in the industry sector. Volume growth in recycling also
boosted the division's profitability. Joint venture L&T Recoil's profitability
improved as a non-scheduled maintenance shutdown of the kind that had a
negative impact on performance in the comparison period was not required in
this quarter. 

The division's year-on-year net sales from international operations declined
slightly while operating profit remained unchanged. 

At the end of the quarter, L&T sold its 50 percent holding in the joint venture
L&T Recoil to the co-owner, EcoStream Oy. The sale price consisted of a EUR 10
million cash contribution and a slightly lower than 20 percent interest in
EcoStream. A non-recurring capital gain of EUR 4.2 million on the arrangement
was recorded for the quarter. At the same time, a non-recurring cost of EUR 2.0
million was recorded in financial expenses, consisting of interest receivable
from subordinated loans granted to the joint venture. 

As part of the operational enhancement programme announced on 26 April 2012,
the division took actions involving a non-recurring cost of EUR 0.8 million
recorded for the period, including a write-down associated with the closure of
a hazardous waste treatment facility located in Tuusula. 

January-June
The Environmental Services division's net sales for January-June amounted to
EUR 165.1 million (EUR 156.0 
million), showing an increase of 5.9%. Operating profit totalled EUR 17.6
million (EUR 13.4 million) and 
operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 14.2 million (EUR 13.4
million). 

The majority of growth in the division was generated by waste management
services and process cleaning services required by the industry. Demand for
both services perked up after a subdued first quarter. Growth was primarily
organic. 

Profitability in the first quarter was burdened by the increase in fuel and
repair costs and weaker profitability in international operations (Latvia,
Russia). In the second quarter, the volume growth in waste management services
and strong performance in the shutdown-related assignments in the industrial
sector drove profitability up. 

Recycled raw material volumes remained healthy in the first half, as did the
prices of secondary raw materials (fibres, plastics, metals). 


Cleaning and Office Support Services

Second quarter
The division's net sales for the second quarter totalled EUR 40.7 million (EUR
40.8 million), showing a decrease of 0.3%. Operating profit totalled EUR 0.2
million (EUR 1.0 million) and operating profit excluding non-recurring items
was EUR 1.2 million (EUR 1.2 million). 

Net sales from Finnish operations decreased somewhat from the comparison
period, even though sales of commissioned assignments developed as expected. In
the absence of business acquisition and integration costs that taxed the result
in the comparison period, the result for Finnish operations improved. 

Results from international operations remained negative due to loss-making
operations in Sweden. The savings programme launched in Sweden in April will
continue in the second half. 

The non-recurring cost of EUR 1.0 million associated with the reorganisation of
the Swedish operations eroded the division's operating profit. 

January-June
The January-June net sales of Cleaning and Office Support Services increased by
5.7% to EUR 80.0 million 
(EUR 75.6 million). Operating profit totalled EUR 1.1 million (EUR 2.5 million)
and operating profit excluding 
non-recurring items was EUR 2.2 million (EUR 2.7 million).

Acquisitions made in the previous spring contributed to net sales growth from
the comparison period. Demand for commissioned assignments remained at the
previous year's level. 

Swedish operations were in the red, which taxed the division's operating
profit. The result from Finnish operations was slightly better than in the
comparison period, although the increase in service prices did not fully cover
the rise in labour costs. 


Property Maintenance

Second quarter
The division's net sales for the second quarter were up by 2.7% to EUR 31.7
million (EUR 30.9 million). Operating profit totalled EUR 0.8 million (EUR 0.8
million) and operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 0.9 million
(EUR 0.8 million). 

An increase in the damage repair services workload contributed to a slight
increase in the division's net sales from the comparison period. 

The quarter's operating profit remained unchanged, thanks to production
efficiency enhancement measures taken in property maintenance and tighter
subcontracting cost control. 

January-June
The division's net sales for January-June were up by 3.1% to EUR 72.0 million
(EUR 69.8 million). Operating 
profit totalled EUR 1.5 million (EUR 2.7 million) and operating profit
excluding non-recurring items was EUR 1.6 
million (EUR 2.7 million).

Expansion of the damage repair service network and the resulting increase in
workload contributed to the increase in the division's net sales in the first
half. 

Meanwhile, operating profit declined; this could be attributed to tougher price
competition than a year earlier and the increase in subcontracting and overtime
costs seen in the first quarter. 


Renewable Energy Sources

Second quarter
Second quarter net sales of Renewable Energy Sources (L&T Biowatti) were up by
26.0% to EUR 12.1 million 
(EUR 9.6 million). The division recorded an operating loss of EUR 0.7 million
(a loss of EUR 1.3 million), and 
an operating loss excluding non-recurring items of EUR 0.6 million (a loss of
EUR 1.3 million). 

There was a marked improvement in the division's net sales from the comparison
period, due to stronger demand for wood-based fuels. However, the weak energy
content of forest processed chips undermined the division's profitability.
Smaller depreciation and volume growth helped curtail operating loss from the
comparison period. 

January-June
January-June net sales of Renewable Energy Sources (L&T Biowatti) were up by
15.9% to EUR 29.7 million 
(EUR 25.6 million). Operating profit amounted to EUR 0.1 million (a loss of EUR
2.0 million), and operating profit 
excluding non-recurring items was EUR 0.2 million (a loss of EUR 1.6 million).

Net sales increased from the comparison period thanks to successful new sales.
Despite the negative impact of chips' weak energy content on first-half
results, profitability improved thanks to smaller depreciation and a trimmer
cost structure.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



FINANCING

Cash flows from operating activities amounted to EUR 31.6 million (EUR 31.5
million). EUR 2.4 million was released from the working capital (EUR 3.2
million). 

At the end of the period, interest-bearing liabilities amounted to EUR 129.5
million (EUR 154.5 million). Net interest-bearing liabilities amounted to EUR
112.7 million, showing a decrease of EUR 14.5 million from the beginning of the
year and EUR 31.3 million from the comparison period. 

Net finance costs amounted to EUR 4.3 million (EUR 2.2 million) in
January-June. This increase could be attributed to the non-recurring cost
recognition of EUR 2.0 million on interest receivable from subordinated loans
given to L&T Recoil Oy. Net finance costs were 1.3% (0.7%) of net sales. 

The average interest rate on long-term loans (with interest-rate hedging) was
2.5% (3.1%). Long-term loans totalling EUR 10.7 million will mature during the
rest of the year. 

The equity ratio was 43.3% (42.0%) and the gearing rate 53.8 (67.6). Liquid
assets at the end of the period amounted to EUR 16.7 million (EUR 10.5
million). 

Of the EUR 100 million commercial paper programme, EUR 34.0 million (EUR 23.5
million) was in use at the end of the period. A cfommitted limit totalling EUR
30.0 million, was not in use, as was the case in the comparison period.

NEAR-TERM UNCERTAINTIES

Economic uncertainty may cause radical changes in the Environmental Services
division's secondary raw material markets and in industrial customer
relationships. 

Uncertainties associated with government subsidies for renewable fuels and with
their continuity could affect demand for the Renewable Energy Sources
division's services. 

More detailed information on L&T's risks and risk management is available in
the Annual Report for 2011, in the report of the Board of Directors, and in the
consolidated financial statements. 

OUTLOOK FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR

Despite the economic uncertainty, the outlook for Environmental Services is, by
and large, stable, but any changes in demand for industrial services may
complicate operational adjustments. 

The business environment for Cleaning and Office Support Services and Property
Maintenance is expected to remain stable, though price competition will remain
tough. 

Demand for Renewable Energy Sources' (L&T Biowatti) wood-based fuels is
expected to pick up from the comparison period, and the more effective cost
structure should result in profitability improvement. 

Full-year net sales in 2012 are expected to remain at the 2011 level. Operating
profit, excluding non-recurring items, is expected to remain at the 2011 level
or improve slightly.

Acquisitions by Property Maintenance
- 1 January 2012, the property maintenance operations of IK Kiinteistöpalvelu
Oy. 
- 1 February 2012, the business of Jyvässeudun Talonmiehet Oy and
Kiinteistöhuolto Markku Hyttinen Oy. 

Acquisitions by Environmental Services
- 1 May 2012, the waste management business of Sita Finland Oy in Oulu.

The figures for these acquired businesses are stated in aggregate, because none
of them is of material importance when considered separately. Fair values have
been determined as of the time the acquisition was realised. No business
operations have been divested as a consequence of any acquisition. All
acquisitions have been paid for in cash. With share acquisitions, L&T was able
to gain 100% of the voting rights. The conditional consideration is tied to the
transfer of the customer contracts to Lassila & Tikanoja plc, and the estimates
of the fair values of considerations were determined on the basis of
probability-weighted final acquisition price. The estimates for the conditional
consideration have not changed between the time of acquisition and the balance
sheet date. Trade and other receivables have been recorded at fair value at the
time of acquisition. Individual acquisition prices have not been itemised
because none of them is of material importance when considered separately.
Profit for the period includes changes allocated to acquisition prices
amounting to EUR 150 thousand. 

By net sales, the largest acquisition was the business of Jyvässeudun
Talonmiehet Oy (EUR 858 thousand). 

It is not possible to itemise the effects of the acquired businesses on the
consolidated net sales and profit for the period, because L&T integrates its
acquisitions into the current business operations as quickly as possible to
gain synergy benefits. 

The accounting policy concerning business combinations is presented in Annual
Report under Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements and under Summary
on significant accounting policies.
