Wulff-Yhtiöt Oyj - Interim report (Q1 and Q3)
WULFF-GROUP PLC'S INTERIM REPORT JANUARY 1 - JUNE 30 2009
WULFF-GROUP PLC INTERIM REPORT 11 AUGUST 2009, 9.00 A.M. WULFF-GROUP PLC'S INTERIM REPORT JANUARY 1 - JUNE 30 2009 Wulff-Group's turnover and operating profit declined in comparison with the corresponding figures for the previous year. The Group's turnover in the January to June period dropped 21.0 % and totalled EUR 31.5 million (EUR 39.9 million). The Group generated an operating loss of EUR 0.07 million (EUR 1.23 million profit). The result for the period showed a loss of EUR 0.37 million (EUR 0.16 million profit). Earnings per share (EPS) fell to EUR -0.06 (EUR 0.03). Wulff-Group's turnover for the second quarter declined 28.8 % from the corresponding period of the previous year. Turnover totalled EUR 14.7 million EUR 20.7 million). Operating profit totalled EUR 0.06 million (0.85 million), representing 0.4 % of net sales. Earnings per share were EUR -0.02 (EUR 0.05). TURNOVER AND PROFIT DEVELOPMENT Wulff-Group Plc's turnover decreased by 21.0 % year-on-year, totalling EUR 31.5 million (EUR 39.9 million), The decreased turnover can still be attributed to the weakened demand in both Group divisions due to the general economic situation. Wulff-Group's operating loss was EUR 0.07 million (EUR 1.23 million profit), representing -0.2 % (3.1 %) of turnover. Loss before extraordinary items amounted to EUR -0.17 million (EUR 0.72 million). Net loss after financial expenses and minority interests amounted to EUR -0.37 million (EUR 0.16 million profit). Earnings per share (EPS) were EUR -0.06, down from EUR 0.03 the year before. CEO Heikki Vienola: ”The decline in turnover due to the market slow-down that began in late 2008 continued in the second quarter of 2009. The slow-down of financial activities is clearly reflected in our promotional product business in particular. Economic uncertainties had the expected effect on our sales also in the other product groups. We prepared for the changes in the market situation by implementing measures in line with our cost savings programme planned jointly with our employees. Our key effort in response to the economical challenges is focusing on sales and developing our business. We have solid faith in our strategy and we will comply with it at all times. I believe that braveness pays off, especially in challenging times - we made a major investment in growth in Scandinavia by purchasing Strålfors Supplies AB in July. At the annual level, this acquisition will increase our turnover by approximately 40 percent. Strålfors Supplies AB operates in accordance with the contract customer concept in Sweden, Norway and Denmark. This acquisition made us the biggest Scandinavian player in the field. I believe that the Strålfors Supplies AB acquisition will have a positive effect on our EPS already in 2009.” CONTRACT CUSTOMERS DIVISION The Contract Customer Division operates as a comprehensive partner in the purchasing of office supplies, business and advertising gifts products and fair and event marketing services. The mission of The Contract Customers division is to be most sought-after partner in the business and to offer customers comprehensive solutions for enhancing offices and promoting sales. The division comprises Wulff Oy Ab, KB-tuote Oy, Ibero Liikelahjat Oy and Entre Marketing Oy. The Contract Customers division generated a turnover of EUR 21.3 million for the review period (EUR 28.0 million) and an operating profit of EUR 0.33 million (EUR 0.58). The reference figures are pro forma and include the entire 2008 turnover and operating result of Ibero Liikelahjat Oy that was merged with the Group on October 1, 2008. Jani Puroranta, Executive Vice President and Head of Contract Customers Division: ”The personnel cuts implemented by major companies and groups during the review period had an impact on Wulff Oy's contractual office supply sales. Business gift sales have a cyclic nature and we knew to expect a heavy decline in this product group's sales. Our contract-based solutions bring our customers cost savings because they are flexible and help streamline activities, and therefore I believe that we have a strong market position with our high-quality services and good competitive edge. The acquisition of the office supply provider Strålfors Supplies AB made us the most significant Scandinavian company in our industry. Joining the forces of Wulff Oy and Strålfors Supplies AB puts us in an excellent position to develop a Scandinavian contract customer concept. Our Scandinavian customers will benefit from the new practices in the form of improved services. This co-operation puts us in a good position to land new, major Scandinavian customer accounts. The turnover of Wulff Oy that sells office supplies and computer accessories declined in comparison with the corresponding period of last year. The clear decrease in purchases by major customers affected our turnover. Due to cost savings and personnel cuts, the customer companies have also cut back their office supply purchases. Acquisition of new customers and concept development were key focus areas in the review period. Wulff Oy Ab's turnover accounts for some 35 % of Wulff-Group's consolidated net sales. In the field of selling and marketing business and advertising gifts, KB-tuote Oy continued to expand its contractual customer base according to its goals. The company has made major investments in increasing the activity level of its sales forces and enhancing cost efficiency. The prospects of demand for corporate promotional products have been very challenging in the first quarter of the year, and operations have been adjusted to the market situation through such measures as personnel lay-offs. KB-tuote Oy provides major companies with a promotional product solution whereby the customer can order products designed in line with the company brand through an electronic order system. Thanks to the streamlining measures and cost savings programme implemented in 2008, Entre Marketing Oy made profit in the first quarter of the year. The successfully revamped service concept had a positive effect on business development, and Entre Marketing Oy's operating result for the January - June 2009 period was significantly better than that of last year's corresponding period. However, in light of the general market situation, the latter half of the year is expected to be challenging for fair and event marketing service sales. The implemented changes enable Entre to increasingly focus on its core business and enhance its competitive edge, as outlined in its strategy. Entre's revamped service offering comprises Finnish trade fairs, international trade fairs, marketing events, marketing and communication services and e-services. Ibero Liikelahjat Oy's result remained at a good level despite the challenging situation in the field of corporate promotional product sales. Being a medium-sized company, Ibero Liikelahjat is a flexible and fast company and partner for its customers. Wulff-Group Plc acquired the entire share capital of Ibero Liikelahjat Oy from Progift Oy in October 2008. DIRECT SALES DIVISION The vision of the Direct Sales division is to be the biggest and most profitable direct sales company in the Nordic countries and neighbouring regions. The mission of the Direct Sales division is to make the activities of its customers more flexible with innovative products and the most professional, personal and local service in the field. The division comprises the direct sales companies in Finland, Sweden and Norway. The Direct Sales Division's turnover for the review period was EUR 10.6 million (EUR 14.1 million) with an operating loss of EUR 0.34 million (EUR 0.78 million profit). Veijo Ågerfalk, Executive Vice President and Head of Direct Sales Division: ”The weakened demand pursuant to the downtrend in financial activity has had a negative effect on our sales. However, I believe that we will come out of this recession as winners if we increase our activity level and respond to market developments quickly, for example, by revamping our product offering and activities. Recruitment is a major challenge for us. Direct sales results are generated by skilled salespeople, and we are currently ready to recruit even one hundred new salespeople to Finland and 50 to Scandinavia. We have placed a strong focus on visibility and recruitment marketing in different media. In direct sales, even new salespeople can make the company profits soon after joining the company. The major inputs in superior and induction training, as well as the quality development of the recruitment process that were initiated early this year are still ongoing. Providing our new salespeople with the best possible competence is a contribution to our future success.” Direct Sales revamped its sales activity monitoring and company profitability monitoring practices in the review period. The cost savings programme planned jointly with company employees is expected to bear fruit visible in the third quarter's results. According to the strategy, the clarification and streamlining of management practices that was initiated in the previous quarter will continue, and the reforms have had a positive impact on the operational development of Finnish direct sales companies. The declined demand has also affected the Group's Scandinavian business development. However, Nordisk Profil of Norway has been able to maintain a good level of sales and profits, given the current situation, thanks to the investments in operational expansion and profitability improvement. In Sweden, the biggest challenge is recruiting skilled salespeople. EVENTS IN THE REVIEW PERIOD THE ACQUISITION OF STRÅLFORS SUPPLIES AB In accordance with the trade agreement signed on 1 July 2009, Wulff-Group Plc has today acquired a majority interest in the Nordic company Strålfors Supplies AB. Strålfors Supplies AB will boost Wulff-Group Plc's business in Scandinavia substantially. This acquisition will also make it the biggest Nordic player in the field. The company's pro forma net sales in the accounting period ended on 31 December 2008 totalled SEK 356.9 million (EUR 32.5 million) and its pro forma operating profit was SEK 12.3 million (EUR 1.1 million). Strålfors Supplies AB, which sells office and computer supplies based on the contract customer concept, operates in Sweden, Norway and Denmark. The company has a staff of 43 people and employs 60 people in total. Strålfors Supplies AB will continue to operate as an independent unit at its current facilities and with the current staff. Trond Fikseaunet will continue as the Managing Director. The price of the acquired shares was specified to total SEK 37.2 million (EUR 3.6 million), while the price determined on 2 July 2009 was SEK 40 million. The final sales price is based on the company's balance sheet on 31 July 2009, and the purchase price is not expected to significantly change. The transaction is financed partly with Wulff-Group Plc's liquid assets and partly with long-term debt. Wulff-Group Plc owns 68 % of shares of the Strålfors Supplies AB. FINANCING AND INVESTMENTS Operating cash flow amounted to EUR 0.86 million (EUR 0.94 million). The consolidated balance sheet total at the end of the period amounted to EUR 37.3 million (EUR 39.9 million) and Equity Ratio to 51.8 % (49.1 %). Equity per share amounted to EUR 2.97 (EUR 3.01). The investments in fixed assets entered in the balance sheet amounted to EUR 0.48 million, or 1.5 % (EUR 0.48 million, 1.2%) of net sales in the review period, and mainly involved machinery and equipment. PERSONNEL Wulff-Group Plc had 373 (427) employees at the end of the review period and an average of 393 (447) employees over the period. A total of 75 (82) employees worked in Sweden, Norway and Estonia. TREASURY SHARES During the review period, the Board of Directors used the authorisation to repurchase treasury shares given by the AGM 4 April 2008 and repurchased 17,707 shares. The acquired shares represent 0.3 % of the share capital and votes of Wulff-Group. The shares were purchased through public trading at NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd in a proportion other than that of current shareholder holdings at the market price determined in public trading at the time of purchase. The Group's registered share capital on 30 June 2009 amounted to EUR 2,650,000.00 and the total amount of shares is 6,607,628. Wulff-Group held 27,648 of its own shares on 30 June 2009, which represents 0.4 % of the Group's shares. RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES OF THE NEAR FUTURE The slowdown of economic growth and financial uncertainty that began in late 2008 are also reflected in Wulff-Group Plc's business and will have a negative effect on turnover development. The general economic downtrend will weaken the demand for office supplies. The economical situation may particularly influence the Christmas business gift season. Wulff-Group's business experiences seasonal change, and a significant share of the company's turnover and profit is generated in the fourth quarter. OUTLOOK FOR 2009 The weaker economic situation has also clearly affected the demand for office supplies. Company management believes that the turnover and operating profit will remain below the previous year's levels but nevertheless stay in the black. In the accumulation of the group's full year profit, the last quarter of the year is the most significant. During 2009, the company will continue its profitability enhancement programme and boosting operations. The current economic situation offers an excellent opportunity to increase the headcount in sales.
