President & CEO Arto Metsänen:
“Glaston's overall market developed according to our expectations in the first
quarter of the year. Due to our worldwide operations, fluctuations in different
markets balanced each other out.
First-quarter net sales were EUR 35.5 million, representing 4% growth compared
with the corresponding period in the previous year. The operating result
excluding non-recurring items improved from the previous year and was a loss of
EUR 0.6 million. Due to a lighter cost structure and a comprehensive,
up-to-date product range, we have all the prerequisites for profitable growth.
In recent years, Glaston has implemented an extensive efficiency programme. The
final stage of this involved the Software Solutions segment, where measures
were launched in autumn 2011. These were to a large extent completed during the
review period and were focused particularly on product development and the
sales organisation. The sales organisation was streamlined and centralised. The
strong investment in product development will continue during this year.”
Glaston's outlook for 2012 unchanged
Glaston expects that 2012 net sales will be at least at the 2011 level and that
the operating result excluding non-recurring items will be positive.
Markets
In the first quarter of the 2012, Glaston's market developed according to
expectations. In South America and in Asia, market growth levelled off as
competition intensified. In North America, a gradual recovery of the market was
perceptible. In the EMEA area, the market in Southern Europe remained subdued,
while elsewhere demand was on a satisfactory level.
Machines
During the first quarter, the Machines segment's market in Asia and South
America levelled off. At the end of the review period, cautious signs of a
recovery of the market were perceptible in North America, and demand for
pre-processing machines in particular developed positively. In the EMEA area,
demand was on a satisfactory level.
The Machines segment's investments in product development continued, and during
the first quarter the Glaston Tamglass RC350™ and CCS1000™ flat tempering
machines were launched onto the Asian market. The customer benefits of the
RC350™ machines are high yield and capability in the tempering of all Low-E
coatings as well as energy efficiency and ease-of-use. The CCS1000™ tempering
line is a second-generation double-chamber tempering line, whose advantages are
nearly double capacity and excellent end-product quality. The CCS1000™ offers a
number of technology upgrades for earlier double-chamber models, for example
the Vortex™ convection heating system and the iControL™ control system as well
as technology improvements in the preheating and cooling sections.
In the review period, a number of deals were concluded for Glaston Tamglass
FC500™ machines. The product has been very well received on the market.
Evidence of this is provided by one European customer, to whom a third Tamglass
FC500™ machine within a year was sold in the first quarter of 2012. The Glaston
Tamglass RC200™ machine, launched simultaneously with the FC500™, adds to the
success of the new flat tempering machines. RC200™ machines have now been sold
on every continent and the product has achieved a strong market position. Sales
of the new Bavelloni ExtraEdge™ double edging machine grew in the review period
and significant orders were received from Saudi Arabia and Italy. The worldwide
launch of the Glaston Bavelloni Hyon™ edging machine was completed during the
review period.
During the first quarter, a goodwill impairment loss of EUR 3.0 million was
recognised as a non-recurring item in the Machines segment's Pre-processing
operating segment.
The Machines segment's January-March net sales totalled EUR 21.9 (20.1) million
and the operating result excluding non-recurring items was a loss of EUR 0.9
(1.9 loss) million.
Services
In the first quarter of the year, the Services segment's market developed
positively in North America, Europe and the Middle East. Customers were
particularly interested in upgrade products equipped with advanced convection
and control systems.
The Vortex Pro™ convection system, which improves production line capacity and
glass quality, continued to be popular in the North American market.
Glasswerks, one of North America's leading architectural glass manufacturers,
decided to modernise four of its tempering furnaces with the Vortex Pro™
convection heating system.
Continuous product development is fundamental to the Services segment's
operations. A number of upgrade products were brought to the market at the
beginning of the year. The CCS™ pre-heating chamber upgrade product for high
capacity, quality and energy efficient glass processing was launched at the
China Glass Fair. The pre-heating chamber can be added to all Glaston Tamglass
HTF Super™, ProE™ and GHF Convection™ tempering machine models. Glaston also
presented at the fair a completely new method, HS Extension, for improving the
quality of thick, heat-strengthened glass. The HS Extension upgrade is availabe
for all Glaston Tamglass ProE™, CCS™ and GHF Convection™ tempering machine
models.
In January-March, the Services segment's net sales totalled EUR 8.5 (8.3)
million. The operating result excluding non-recurring items was a profit of EUR
1.7 (1.5) million.
Software Solutions
The uncertain economic outlook in Europe was reflected in the Software
Solutions segment's first-quarter operations as a weakening of customers'
willingness to invest. Customers' demand was directed at production planning
systems, technical software systems and optimisation systems. Sales of
maintenance contracts developed according to expectations.
The extensive operational development programme initiated in autumn 2011 was
completed at the beginning of the year. The measures were directed primarily at
the sales organisation and product development. In Europe, the sales and
service structure was streamlined and operations were concentrated on three
countries: Germany, France and Sweden. In the early part of the year,
maintenance achieved an even better performance level in the handling of urgent
customer cases.
In the review period, the segment increased its investment in the development
of new products, software tools and software architecture.
The Software Solutions segment's January-March net sales totalled EUR 5.4 (6.0)
million and the operating result excluding non-recurring items was a profit of
EUR 0.2 (1.0) million.
Orders received
Glaston's orders received during the first quarter totalled EUR 32.8 (38.1)
million. Of orders received, the Machines segment accounted for 63%, the
Services segment 23% and the Software Solutions segment 14%.
Order book
Glaston's order book on 31 March 2012 was EUR 36.7 (44.3) million. Of the order
book, the Machines segment accounted for EUR 34.2 million, the Services segment
EUR 1.1 million and the Software Solutions segment EUR 1.5 million.

Non-recurring items totalling EUR 3.3 million were recognised in the first
quarter and they consisted of the recognition of a EUR 3.0 million impairment
loss in the Machines segment's Pre-processing operating segment as well as
restructuring costs arising from the closure of offices.
Glaston's net financial expenses were EUR -1.5 (-6.3) million. The previous
year's financial expenses were elevated by, among other things, expenses
arising from the conversion of the convertible bond.
The result for the review period was a loss of EUR 5.3 (8.1 loss) million and
earnings per share were EUR -0.05 (-0.09). The January-March return on capital
employed (ROCE) was -13.7 (-3.4)%.
Adjustment measures
In the review period, production capacity in Italy was adjusted to correspond
with demand through temporary lay-offs of personnel.
An operational development programme initiated in the Software Solutions
segment in autumn 2011 continued during the first quarter. A centralisation
programme in the European sales and service organisation was completed and, in
future, operations will be centralised at service locations in Germany, France
and Sweden.
Financial position, cash flow and financing
At the end of the first quarter, the consolidated asset total was EUR 177.7
(198.1) million. The equity attributable to owners of the parent was EUR 47.2
(57.8) million, i.e. EUR 0.45 (0.55) per share. The equity ratio on 31 March
2012 was 29.0 (32.0)%. Net gearing was 112.3 (94.7)%
Return on equity in January-March was -42.5 (-66.3)%.
Cash flow from operating activities, before the change in working capital, was
EUR 1.4 (-5.7) million in the review period. The change in working capital was
EUR -2.8 (1.0) million. Cash flow from investments was EUR -1.8 (-1.1) million.
Cash flow from financing activities in January-March was EUR -2.3 (11.8)
million.
The Group's loan agreements contain covenant terms and other commitments that
are linked to consolidated key figures. The covenants in use are interest
cover, net debt/EBITDA, cash and gross capital expenditure. During the review
period, Glaston renegotiated some of the loan covenants with lenders.
Capital expenditure, depreciation and amortisation
Glaston's gross capital expenditure totalled EUR 1.8 (1.2) million. In the
review period, there were no significant individual investments; the biggest
investments were capitalisations of product development expenditure.
In the first quarter, depreciation and amortisation on property, plant and
equipment, and on intangible assets totalled EUR 2.0 (1.9) million. The 2012
impairment loss recognition, EUR 3.0 million, consists of an impairment loss on
goodwill. In the comparison period, impairment losses on tangible and
intangible assets totalled EUR 0.0 million.
Personnel
On 31 March 2012, Glaston had a total of 844 (900) employees. Of the Group's
employees, 18% worked in Finland and 40% elsewhere in the EMEA area, 27% in
Asia and 16% in the Americas. In review period, the average number of employees
was 858 (920).
Shares and share price
Glaston Corporation's paid and registered share capital on 31 March 2012 was
EUR 12.7 million and the number of issued and registered shares totalled
105,588,636. The company has one series of share. At the end of March, the
company held 788,582 of the company's own shares (treasury shares),
corresponding to 0.75% of the total number of issued and registered shares and
votes. The counter book value of treasury shares is EUR 94,819.
Every share that the company does not hold itself entitles its owner to one
vote at the Annual General Meeting. The share has no nominal value. The counter
book value of each registered share is EUR 0.12.
During the first quarter of the year, a total of around 6.0 million of the
company's shares were traded, i.e. around 5.8% of the average number of shares.
The lowest price paid for a share was EUR 0.44 and the highest price EUR 0.74.
The volume weighted average price of shares traded during January-March was EUR
0.57. The closing price on 31 March 2012 was EUR 0.59.
On 31 March 2012, the market capitalisation of the company's shares, treasury
shares excluded, was EUR 61.8 (98.1) million. The equity per share attributable
to owners of the parent was EUR 0.45 (0.55).
The 2011 Annual General Meeting authorised the Board of Directors to decide on
a share issue, including the right to issue new shares and/or convey treasury
shares. The share issue authorisation covers a maximum of 20,000,000 shares and
is valid until the end of the 2013 Annual General Meeting. The authorisation
includes the right to decide on a share issue without payment. The Board of
Directors also has the right to issue and/or convey shares in derogation of the
pre-emptive subscription right of shareholders. At the end of the review
period, the Board of Directors still had in respect of this authorisation the
authority to issue 16,907,499 shares. The Board of Directors has no other
authorisations.
Decisions of the Annual General Meeting
Glaston Corporation's Annual General Meeting was held in Helsinki on 27 March
2012. The Annual General Meeting adopted the financial statements and
consolidated financial statements for the period 1 January - 31 December 2011.
In accordance with the proposal of the Board of Directors, the Annual General
Meeting resolved that no dividend be distributed for the financial year ending
31 December 2011.
The Annual General Meeting discharged the members of Board of Directors and the
President & CEO from liability for the financial year 1 January - 31 December
2011.
The number of the members of the Board of Directors was resolved to be six. The
Annual General Meeting decided to re-elect Claus von Bonsdorff, Teuvo Salminen,
Christer Sumelius, Pekka Vauramo and Andreas Tallberg as members of the Board
of Directors for the following term ending at the closing of the next Annual
General Meeting, and to elect Anu Hämäläinen, M.Sc.(Econ.), as a new member of
the Board of Directors.
The Annual General Meeting resolved that the annual remuneration payable to
members of the Board of Directors shall remain unchanged. The Chairman of the
Board shall be paid EUR 40,000, the Deputy Chairman EUR 30,000 and the other
members of the Board EUR 20,000.
The Annual General Meeting elected as auditor Public Accountants Ernst & Young
Oy, with Harri Pärssinen, APA, as the responsible auditor.
The Annual General Meeting resolved in accordance with the proposal of the
Board of Directors to amend Articles 10 and 11 of the Articles of Association.
Article 10 was amended so that General Meetings of Shareholders shall be held
in the place where the company is domiciled or in Espoo. In addition, a mention
was added to the article whereby the Chairman of the General Meeting shall have
the right to determine the method of voting in the event of a matter being
resolved by a vote at a General Meeting. Article 11 was amended so that the
notice to a General Meeting of Shareholders shall be published on the company's
website. In addition, the Board of Directors may decide on the publishing of
the notice to a General Meeting in a newspaper.
Organising meeting of the Board of Directors
At its organising meeting on 27 March 2012, Glaston's Board of Directors
elected Andreas Tallberg to continue as the Chairman of the Board and Christer
Sumelius to continue as the Deputy Chairman of the Board.
Events after the review period
On 25 April 2012, Glaston published a stock exchange release on the recognition
of a EUR 3.0 million impairment loss on goodwill in the Machines segment's
Pre-processing operating segment. The impairment loss was recognised in the
first quarter result as a non-recurring item. At the same time, the company
revised its outlook with respect to the operating result, such that the
operating result excluding non-recurring items is expected to be positive.
Earlier Glaston forecasted that the operating result was expected to be
positive.
Uncertainties and risks in the near future
Slower economic growth may still lead to the postponement of orders and changes
in machine delivery schedules. The uncertain market outlook will also affect
customers' investment opportunities.
The underlying nature of the sector is expected to remain unchanged, so
development in the coming years is expected to be positive. If the recovery of
the sector is delayed or slows, this will have a negative effect on Glaston's
result. The shift of the geographical focus of business activity to areas of
higher economic growth will, however, dampen the economic effects of a possibly
slower recovery in Western Europe and North America, despite a levelling off of
the Asian and South American markets.
Due to market uncertainty, it is possible that Glaston's recoverable amounts
will be insufficient to cover the carrying amounts of assets, particularly
goodwill. If this happens, it will be necessary to recognise an impairment
loss, which, when implemented, will weaken the result and equity.
Outlook
Glaston's market will remain challenging in 2012. Economic uncertainty will
continue to impact customers' investment decisions.
Growth in the Asian and South American markets is expected to level off.
Cautious signs of recovery are evident in the North American market. In the
EMEA area, the Southern European market will continue to be challenging, while
a slight pick-up in demand is perceptible in Central, Northern and Eastern
Europe.
The cornerstones of Glaston's operations remain the architectural glass segment
and the solar energy market. The architectural segment creates the foundation
for the company's future growth. In the longer term, prospects for the solar
energy segment are good. The automotive industry also offers good growth
opportunities.
We will purposefully continue our investment in those areas which do not
require significant investments from our customers, namely maintenance services
and tools. We expect the good development of the service market to be sustained
in 2012.
Glaston expects that 2012 net sales will be at least at the 2011 level and that
the operating result excluding non-recurring items will be positive.
