2016-10-26 08:00:03 CEST 2016-10-26 08:00:03 CEST SÄÄNNELTY TIETO Raute - Interim report (Q1 and Q3)Raute Corporation - Interim report January 1 - September 30, 2016Lahti, Finland, 2016-10-26 08:00 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RAUTE CORPORATION INTERIM REPORT OCTOBER 26, 2016 AT 9:00 a.m. RAUTE CORPORATION – INTERIM REPORT JANUARY 1 - SEPTEMBER 30, 2016 - The Group’s net sales, EUR 77.1 million (MEUR 87.8), declined 12 percent on the comparison period. The order intake was EUR 120 million (MEUR 129). - Operating profit was EUR 4.3 million (MEUR 5.3). The result before taxes was EUR 3.9 million (MEUR 5.3). - Earnings per share (undiluted) were EUR 0.74 (EUR 1.07). - Third-quarter net sales amounted to EUR 23.4 million and the operating result was EUR 1.4 million. Three major new orders raised the order intake volume by quarter to a record-high level of EUR 92 million. The order book at the end of the reporting period increased to a record-high EUR 102 million. - The outlook for financial performance remains unchanged. Raute’s net sales and operating profit for 2016 are expected to remain at the same level as in 2015. TAPANI KIISKI, PRESIDENT AND CEO: FOUR NEW CAPACITY-GENERATING MILL PROJECTS STARTED UP - RECORD-HIGH ORDER BOOK Our net sales and operating profit continued to develop in line with our expectations also in the third quarter, with no surprises. The net sales and operating profit corresponded with our low order book at the beginning of the quarter and the long period of low order intake preceding the reporting period. In July and August, we managed to secure orders for production machinery for four new capacity-generating projects, within three separate orders: a veneer production line to Äänikoski, Finland and an LVL production line to Lohja, Finland for Metsä Group, LVL production lines for Steico in Czarna Woda, Poland and birch plywood production lines for Vjatskiy Fanernyi Kombinat in the Kirov region of Russia. We negotiated these deals for months, sometimes more than a year, before receiving the orders. The starting up of four large project deliveries almost simultaneously and later than we expected will provide us with a chance to prove ourselves. I have confidence in the flexibility of our delivery capability due to our solid track record in this from the two previous years. The new orders did not impact the net sales for the past quarter. Receiving these orders shows that our competitiveness is at its best precisely in these types of major projects. The market situation of our customers has, according to our assessment, remained relatively unchanged. Utilization rates are good and the prices of plywood and LVL products are mostly at a normal level, making profitability moderate at the very minimum. Many of our customers are still reporting short order books. This causes investment decisions concerning individual machine lines and modernizations to be slow. On the other hand, demand for our technology services is active. This long-standing situation is turning into the new normal. We were able to plan the timing of the major orders in our workload so that we will maintain our ability to serve all our customers despite the unprecedented order book. Our order book already forms a strong outlook for next year. At the same time, it provides us with an opportunity to improve our operations and competitiveness with a view to periods in which there are no major mill projects on the markets. Although we will definitely be rushed off our feet, I am convinced that we will be able to catch up during the remainder of this year and reach, in line with our expectations, the net sales and operating profit which are at the previous year's level. To achieve this, we will need the input and success of each and every Raute employee and partner. THIRD QUARTER OF 2016 Order intake and order book The total value of the order intake in the third quarter was EUR 92 million (MEUR 14), a record-high. At the end of July, orders worth altogether some EUR 25 million for an LVL production line and machinery and equipment for a birch veneer production line came from Finland. The installation and commissioning of the LVL line will begin in the first quarter of 2017. The installation and commissioning of the birch veneer production line will begin in the final quarter of 2017. At the end of August, an order valued at around EUR 17.5 million for machinery and equipment for manufacturing LVL arrived from Poland. The deliveries are scheduled for the first half of 2017 and LVL production is expected to be in full swing half-way through 2018. An order worth EUR 32 million for the machinery and equipment for a birch plywood mill in the Kirov region of Russia entered into force in late August. The delivery of machinery will begin in the second quarter of 2017. Three large orders include four new capacity-generating projects, worth altogether approximately EUR 69 million. Also the total value of other project delivery orders, EUR 12 million, was better than in the past few quarters. Technology services accounted for EUR 11 million (MEUR 11) of the order intake. The order book at the end of the period amounted to EUR 102 million (MEUR 83), a record-high figure. The order book grew by EUR 70 million in the third quarter. Net sales Third-quarter net sales amounted to EUR 23.4 million (MEUR 31.4). The low net sales corresponded to the low order book at the beginning of the quarter and the progressing of the deliveries planned for the period. Technology services accounted for a high 49 percent of the Group’s total net sales (32%), due to the low number of project deliveries. Result and profitability Operating profit was EUR 1.4 million positive (MEUR 1.9 positive) and accounted for 5.8 percent (6.1%) of net sales. The result was EUR 0.9 million positive (MEUR 1.5 positive), and earnings per share (undiluted) were EUR +0.22 (EUR +0.36). Profitability corresponded to the actual net sales. RAUTE CORPORATION – INTERIM REPORT JANUARY 1 – SEPTEMBER 30, 2016 BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT Market situation in customer industries Raute’s customers in the plywood and LVL (Laminated Veneer Lumber) industries are engaged in the manufacturing of wood products used in investment projects and are thus highly affected by fluctuations in construction, housing-related consumption, international trade, and transportation. The situation in the global economy and the financial markets in the first three quarters of 2016 did not change considerably with respect to Raute or Raute’s customer base. Europe’s economy has continued to strengthen slightly. Russia’s economy is still weak. Over the summer, there were signs that the situation is stabilizing and taking a turn for the better. China’s measures to strengthen its economy have still not materialized as increased investments among Raute’s customers. The domestic markets of major South American countries are weak. In part due to weaker currencies, Chilean and Brazilian plywood manufacturers have increased their exports to Europe and North America, which will tighten competition in these markets. Construction activity has remained at a low level in all market areas, including North America, where the economy in general continues its positive growth. The construction cycle is starting to look up, but slowly. Due to the market situation described above, Raute’s customers’ order books have remained short, which has not made for an attractive environment for implementing investments. Demand for wood products technology and technology services The demand for Raute’s technology and services was conflicting during the period under review. Invitations to tender for projects and even active negotiations were relatively high in number. Several major mill projects that were long in the negotiation phase were ordered during the third quarter. Despite the brisk demand for individual machine line projects and modernizations, relatively few projects have started up. Demand and order volumes for spare parts and services remained at a good level. ORDER INTAKE AND ORDER BOOK Raute serves the wood products industry with a full-service concept based on service that encompasses the entire life cycle of the delivered equipment. Raute’s business consists of project deliveries and technology services. Project deliveries encompass projects from individual machine or production line deliveries to deliveries of all the machines and equipment belonging to a mill’s production process. Additionally, Raute’s full-service concept includes comprehensive technology services ranging from spare parts deliveries to regular maintenance and equipment modernizations, as well as consulting, training and reconditioned machinery. The order intake amounted to EUR 120 million (MEUR 129) during the reporting period. Of new orders, 53 percent came from Europe (73%), 35 percent from Russia (8%), 7 percent from North America (12%), 3 percent from Asia-Pacific (4%) and 2 percent from South America (3%). The third quarter accounted for EUR 92 million of the order intake. The order intake in project deliveries amounted to EUR 91 million (MEUR 98). Three large orders entered into force in the third quarter, worth altogether EUR 69 million, including a total of four new capacity-generating projects. Three of the projects will be built in Europe and one in Russia. Order intake in technology services amounted to EUR 29 million (MEUR 31), 4 percent down from the comparison period, due to the low number of investment-type modernization orders. The order intake for spare parts and maintenance services grew on the comparison period. The order book grew during the third quarter by EUR 70 million, amounting to a record-high EUR 102 million at the end of the period (MEUR 83). COMPETITIVE POSITION Raute’s competitive position has remained unchanged and is good. Raute’s solutions help customers in securing their delivery and service capabilities throughout the life cycle of the production process or its part. In such investments, the supplier’s overall expertise and extensive and diverse technology offering play a key role. The competitive edge provided by Raute plays a major role when customers select their cooperation partners. Raute’s strong financial position and long-term dedication to serving selected customer industries also enhance its credibility and improve its competitive position as a company that carries out long-term investment projects. NET SALES Net sales for the reporting period, EUR 77.1 million (MEUR 87.8), fell 12 percent on the comparison period. The lower volume of orders than in the comparison year and the resulting decline in the order book in the early part of the year impacted the decline in net sales. Of the total net sales for the reporting period, Europe accounted for 60 percent (65%), North America for 16 percent (12%), Russia for 16 percent (10%), Asia-Pacific for 5 percent (5%), and South America for 4 percent (8%). Net sales for technology services amounted to EUR 30.0 million (MEUR 31.7) in the reporting period and their share of total net sales was 39 per cent (36%). Net sales for technology services decreased 6 percent over the comparison period due to the low number of new modernization orders. RESULT AND PROFITABILITY Operating profit for the reporting period was EUR 4.3 million positive (MEUR 5.3 positive) and accounted for 5.5 percent of net sales (6.1%). Profitability reflected the level of net sales. Other operating income for the reporting period includes project-business-related insurance compensation of EUR 0.9 million received in the first quarter. The result before taxes for the reporting period was EUR 3.9 million positive (MEUR 5.3 positive). The result for the reporting period was EUR 3.1 million positive (MEUR 4.3 positive). Earnings per share (undiluted) were EUR 0.74 (EUR 1.07). CASH FLOW AND BALANCE SHEET The Group’s financial position remained good. At the end of the reporting period, gearing was -50 percent (-40%) and the equity ratio 62 percent (58%). Fluctuations in balance sheet working capital items and the key figures based on them are due to differences in the timing of customer payments and the cost accumulation from project deliveries, which is typical of the project business. The Group’s cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR 19.1 million (MEUR 13.4) at the end of the reporting period. Operating cash flow was EUR 15.4 million positive (MEUR 12.2 positive). Cash flow from investment activities was EUR 2.4 million negative (MEUR 0.9 negative). Cash flow from financing activities was EUR 0.4 million negative (MEUR 2.3 negative), including dividend payments of EUR 3.3 million, EUR 0.5 million in share issues and EUR 2.3 million in the increase of short-term loans. Interest-bearing liabilities amounted to EUR 3.9 million (MEUR 2.5) at the end of the reporting period. The parent company Raute Corporation has a EUR 10 million commercial paper program, which allows the company to issue commercial papers maturing in less than one year. The parent company Raute Corporation is prepared for future working capital needs and has long-term credit facility agreements with three Nordic banks totaling EUR 23.0 million. The main covenants for the credit facility are an equity ratio of >30% and gearing of <100%. Of the credit facility, EUR 20.9 million remained unused at the end of the reporting period. EVENTS DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD Raute Corporation published stock exchange releases on the following events: January 18, 2016 Advance information on Raute Group’s 2015 net sales and operating profit March 31, 2016 Decisions of Raute’s Annual General Meeting June 3, 2016 Notification pursuant to the Finnish Securities Markets Act, Chapter 9, Section 5 (flagging notification) July 20, 2016 Raute received orders worth EUR 25 million to Finland August 22, 2016 Raute received an order of over EUR 17 million to Poland August 24, 2016 Raute received orders worth almost EUR 32 million to Russia September 28, 2016 Issue of new shares of Raute Corporation without consideration to the company itself. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS AND CAPITAL EXPENDITURE Raute is a leading technology supplier for the plywood and LVL industries and focuses strongly on the development of increasingly efficient, productive and environmentally friendly manufacturing technology and supporting measurement and machine vision applications. Opportunities provided by digitalization are also an essential part of R&D activities. Research and development costs in the reporting period amounted to EUR 2.0 million (MEUR 1.7), representing 2.6 percent of net sales (2.0%). Capital expenditure during the period amounted to EUR 2.4 million (MEUR 0.9) and accounted for 3.1 percent (1.0%) of net sales. The clearly higher level of both research and development costs and investments than in the comparison period results from the timing of projects and the use of resources during the low order book in the spring. PERSONNEL During the reporting period, the Group’s headcount fell by 9 people, numbering 637 (642) at the end of the reporting period. Group companies outside Finland accounted for 29 percent (32%) of employees. Converted to full-time employees (“effective headcount”), the average number of employees was 632 (608) during the reporting period. The increase in the number of employees took place mainly at the Nastola unit where capacity has been raised in order to meet the loading situation.

Net sales The main part of the net sales is comprised of project deliveries and modernizations in technology services, which are treated as long-term projects. The rest of the net sales is comprised of technology services provided to the wood products industry such as spare parts and maintenance services as well as services provided to the development of customers' business. Project deliveries and modernizations related to technology services include both product and service sales, making it impossible to give a reliable presentation of the breakdown of the Group's net sales into purely product and service sales. Large delivery projects can temporarily increase the shares of various customers of the Group’s net sales to more than ten percent. At the end of the period, the Group had two customers (2), whose customized share of the Group's net sales temporarily exceeded ten percent. The sales share of the customers was 29 percent. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.1.–30.9. 1.1.–30.9. 1.1.–31.12.
