2007-10-26 07:30:00 CEST 2007-10-26 07:30:00 CEST REGULATED INFORMATION Talentum Oyj - Quarterly reportTALENTUM'S NET SALES AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE FOR JULY-SEPTEMBER STILL IMPROVING- The 10% growth in net sales by Talentum's publishing operations in July-September increased the entire Group's net sales to growth of 3.8% in spite of the restructuring carried out in the Premedia business area. - The consolidated operating profit in the period under review improved by EUR 2.2 million, the impetus coming from the publishing business and the restructuring of the Premedia business area. - The readership of the Ny Teknik magazine went up by about 8% and it now has 282,000 readers, the number of people visiting the website has doubled to 95,708. TALENTUM'S INTERIM REPORT JANUARY-SEPTEMBER 2007 (IFRS) July-September Talentum's net sales in July-September were EUR 24.2 million (EUR 23.3 million), an increase of 3.8%. The operating profit in July-September was EUR 1.9 million (EUR -0.3 million), which is 7.8% of the net sales (-1.3%) The earnings per share in July-September were EUR 0.02 (EUR -0.01). January-September Talentum's net sales in January-September were EUR 87.7 million (EUR 84.5 million), i.e. an increase of 3.8%. The operating profit in January-September was EUR 7.4 million (EUR 2.7 million), 8.4% of the net sales (3.2%). The operating profit in January-September without non-recurring items was EUR 9.1 million (EUR 3.7 million). The earnings per share in January-September were EUR 0.11 (EUR 0.04). CEO JUHA BLOMSTER ”The structural reorganization and corporate restructuring carried out in Finland have proved successful: the operating profit made a greater improvement than the net sales. Talentum will continue its measures in line with the strategy and focus in the future on developing the core activities i.e. publishing. The operating profit for the whole of 2007 seems to develop as expected. Talentum's net sales continued to improve, even though some of Premedia's business was divested. Most of the growth in Talentum's net sales still came from the good progress made by Publishing in Sweden, where the magazines acquired in the first half of the year, Arbetarskydd and Dagens Media, have made a good start in the Talentum media family and are contributing to the good progress. Publishing achieved moderate advances in Finland and its profitability remained at a good level. Advertiser-customers are still purchasing at a quick tempo and their overall input in advertising fluctuates greatly from month to month. So advertising's development is not to be forecasted very far ahead, but a continuation of the good general economic development may keep the recruitment and advertising market lively. Talentum's magazines and online services have strengthened their position further as recruitment media in both Finland and Sweden.” KEY INDICATORS OF FINANCIAL DEVELOPMENT -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | KEY | 7-9/ | 7-9/ | Chang | 1-9/ | 1-9/ | Change | 1-12/ | | INDICATORS | 2007 | 2006 | e | 2007 | 2006 | % | 2006 | | | | | % | | | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | EUR Million | | | | | | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Net sales | 24.2 | 23.3 | 3.8 | 87.7 | 84.5 | 3.8 | 121.1 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Operating | 1.9 | -0.3 | 727.8 | 7.4 | 2.7 | 176.1 | 4.3 | | profit | | | | | | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | % of net | 7.8 | -1.3 | | 8.4 | 3.2 | | 3.5 | | sales | | | | | | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Operating | 1.9 | -0.3 | 727.8 | 9.1 | 3.7 | 148.0 | 8.7 | | profit | | | | | | | | | without | | | | | | | | | non-recurring | | | | | | | | | items* | | | | | | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | % of net | 7.8 | -1.3 | | 10.4 | 4.3 | | 7.2 | | sales | | | | | | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Total assets | | | | 89.5 | 91.2 | -1.9 | 89.7 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Investments | 0.4 | 0.5 | -21.6 | 5.5 | 4.4 | 25.3 | 5.1 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | % of net | 1.5 | 2.0 | | 6.3 | 5.2 | | 4.2 | | sales | | | | | | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Equity ratio | | | | 32.4 | 35.2 | | 36.1 | | % | | | | | | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Gearing % | | | | 41.2 | 40.9 | | 15.7 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Interest-bear | | | | 29.3 | 29.8 | -1.7 | 25.5 | | ing | | | | | | | | | liabilities | | | | | | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Net | | | | 11.7 | 13.0 | -10.1 | 5.1 | | liabilities | | | | | | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Personnel, | | | | 927 | 1048 | -11.6 | 1064 | | average | | | | | | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Earnings/shar | 0.02 | -0.01 | 386.0 | 0.11 | 0.04 | 193.3 | 0.05 | | e EUR | | | | | | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Cash flow | -0.08 | -0.11 | 30.5 | 0.14 | 0.02 | 472.5 | | | from business | | | | | | | | | operations/sh | | | | | | | | | are EUR | | | | | | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Equity/share | | | | 0.61 | 0.67 | -9.3 | 0.69 | | EUR | | | | | | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Market | | | | 155.0 | 160.3 | -3.3 | 144.9 | | capitalizatio | | | | | | | | | n on closing | | | | | | | | | rate at | | | | | | | | | period end | | | | | | | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *non-recurring items shown in the tables section All key indicators have been calculated from EUR thousands. Consolidated net sales and Group financial performance July-September The consolidated net sales increased in July-September compared with the previous year by 3.8% and were EUR 24.2 million (EUR 23.3 million). Publishing's net sales rose by 10.0% to EUR 15.3 million (EUR 14.0 million). The growth came mainly from Talentum Sweden's publishing operations. Arbetarskydd and Dagens Media accounted for EUR 0.6 million of the growth in the net sales of the publishing operations in Sweden. Premedia's net sales went down by -36.8% as a result of corporate restructuring. The consolidated operating profit in July-September was EUR 1.9 million (EUR -0.3 million) 7.8% of the net sales (-1.3%). Publishing and Premedia improved their financial performances over the previous year. Publishing's operating profit was EUR 1.6 million (EUR 0.7 million). Net financial expenses came to EUR -0.8 million (EUR -0.1 million), including a loss of EUR 0.5 million on the sale of shares in an associated company. The profit before tax was EUR 1.2 million (EUR -0.3 million). Consolidated net sales and Group financial performance January-September The consolidated net sales increased in January-September compared with the previous year by 3.8% and were EUR 87.7 million (EUR 84.5 million). Publishing's net sales were 56.8 million (EUR 51.2 million) i.e. a growth of 10.9%. The publishing operations in Sweden accounted for EUR 4.6 million of the growth in the net sales, EUR 2.2 million of which come from the net sales of magazines acquired this year. The consolidated operating profit without non-recurring items in January-September was EUR 9.1 million (EUR 3.7 million) and 10.4% of the net sales (4.3%). The consolidated operating profit in January-September was EUR 7.4 million (EUR 2.7 million) i.e. 8.4% of the net sales (3.2%). Publishing's operating profit without non-recurring items was EUR 8.5 million (EUR 5.3 million). The non-recurring items are shown in the tables section. OPERATING ENVIRONMENT AND SEASONAL VARIATION The general economic situation still remained relatively good in the third quarter of 2007. In both Finland and Sweden the media market continued to grow. According to TNS Gallup, in Finland the media market grew by more than 5% in January-September and in Sweden, according to Sifo Research International, branded-products marketing by 2%. Job advertising in particular progressed well in both Finland and Sweden. The media and media service market are subject to seasonal fluctuation and business is at its briskest during the final quarter of the year. During the summer holidays magazines and books do not generally come out and for this reason the third quarter is the lowest in terms of sales. OUTLOOK FOR WHOLE OF 2007 Talentum expects the core operations' net sales to increase and the consolidated net sales for the whole year to be at last year's level. The consolidated operating profit in 2007 without non-recurring items will be improved by the sale of the business operations of the loss making Reprostudio & Heku Oy in the first half of the year and the improved cost structure of the publishing business in Finland and administration. The consolidated operating profit for the whole year is expected to be much better than last year's. During the autumn instability in the financial markets has increased. We expect that at least in the short term it will not have an impact on Talentum's business operations. CASH FLOW, FINANCIAL POSITION AND BALANCE SHEET The cash flow from business operations was EUR 6.0 million (EUR 1.0 million) in January-September and EUR -3.5 million (EUR -5.0 million) in July-September. The change in working capital was EUR -3.3 million (EUR -2.4 million) in January-September. Net financial expenses in January-September were EUR -1.1 million (EUR -0.3 million), which was 1.2% of the net sales (0.4%). Net financial expenses include a loss of EUR 0.5 million on the sale of shares in an associated company. The total assets stood at EUR 89.5 million (EUR 91.2 million) on September 30, 2007. Interest-bearing net liabilities were EUR 11.7 million (EUR 13.0 million). The Group's liquid assets, EUR 17.6 million (EUR 16.8 million), have been invested in financial instruments. The consolidated interest-bearing liabilities at the end of the period under review amounted to EUR 29.3 million (EUR 29.8 million). The equity ratio was 32.4% (35.2%) at the end of the period under review. The Group's equity per share was EUR 0.61 (EUR 0.67) at the end of September. INVESTMENT Gross investment in fixed assets in January-September totalled EUR 5.5 million (EUR 4.4 million), i.e. 6.3% (5.2%) of net sales. The effect of corporate acquisitions on investment was EUR 4.0 million (EUR 1.4 million). Other investment comprised mainly normal replacement and maintenance, such as procuring equipment, software and fixtures. PERSONNEL The Group employed an average of 927 persons (1,048 people) in January-September. Of the employees, 34.1% (27.8%) worked abroad. CHANGES IN GROUP STRUCTURE Talentum's Swedish subsidiary Talentum Sweden AB acquired the share capital of Dagens Media Sverige AB on June 12, 2007, from which time the company has been consolidated into the Group accounts. Dagen's Media's net sales total about EUR 2 million at the annual level and the company is operating at a profit. It employed 13 people on the date of the acquisition. The repro business operations of Reprostudio & Heku Oy, which was part of the Premedia business area, were sold on June 13, 2007. The transfer of 45 people was part of the transaction. The net sales of the sold business operations amount to about EUR 5 million at the annual level. Talentum sold the shares of an associated company, Acacom Academic Communications Oy, which publishes customer magazines, through a transaction carried out on September 21, 2007. The created loss of EUR 0.5 million on the sale is included in financial expenses. RISKS TO BUSINESS OPERATIONS IN NEAR FUTURE The biggest risk to the Group's business operations is associated with product and job advertising, which is sensitive to economic trends. About 40% of the consolidated net sales are tied to advertising. We aim to control this market risk by increasing revenue from circulation sales and content sales. BUSINESS AREAS Publishing July-September The third quarter in Talentum's publishing operations is the year's quietest mainly because of the holiday period. Net sales for July-September were EUR 15.3 million (EUR 14.0 million) and the operating profit was EUR 1.6 million (EUR 0.7 million). Publishing grew by 10.0% in the third quarter (33.3%) and its operating profit percentage was 10.6% (5.0%). Talentum's magazine circulation revenue went up by 3.1% in Finland and 21.6% in Sweden. Advertising revenue rose by 0.5% in Finland and 43.4% in Sweden. 13.3 percentage points of the growth in advertising revenue in Sweden is attributable to the acquisition of the magazines Arbertarskydd and Dagens Media. The net sales of book publishing and training remained at the level of the previous year. Book publishing business is strongest on the final quarter of the year. Recruitment advertising was still strong in Talentum's media in both Finland and Sweden. January-September Publishing's net sales for January-September were EUR 56.8 million (EUR 51.2 million) and the operating profit was EUR 8.5 million (EUR 4.3 million), which is 14.9% of the net sales (8.3%). Sweden continues to play a growing role overall, accounting for 33.7% of net sales (28.3%) and 27.7% of the operating profit (7.3%). The net sales of magazine publishing amounted to EUR 48.9 million in January-September (EUR 43.7 million), of which online services accounted for some EUR 3.6 million (EUR 4.2 million). Book publishing's net sales totalled EUR 6.1 million (EUR 5.9 million) and training's net sales EUR 1.6 million (EUR 1.5 million). The circulation revenue of Talentum's magazines went up by 8.5%. Advertising revenue rose by 0.4% in Finland and 34.1% in Sweden. 12.8 percentage points of the growth in advertising revenue in Sweden is attributable to the acquisition of the magazines Arbetarskydd and Dagens Media. In Sweden Ny Teknik increased its readership by about 8% and it now has 282,000 readers (Orvesto Konsument 2007:2). Furthermore, Ny Teknik's online service has increased the number of weekly visitors considerably during this year, and it will probably exceed the 100,000 limit by the end of the year, compared with about 60,000 at the end of 2006. According to the National Readership Survey published in Finland in September (autumn 2006/spring 2007), the readership of printed magazines has fallen. However, Talentum's magazines still fared better than its peer group and, for example, Arvopaperi, bucked the trend by increasing its readership, in this survey by 3,000 readers to 61,000. MikroPC increased its readership by 14,000 to 163,000. Direct marketing July-September Direct Marketing's net sales in July-September were EUR 2.2 million (EUR 1.9 million) and the operating profit EUR 0.3 million (EUR 0.3 million).

January-September Direct Marketing's net sales in January-September rose by 14.8% (14.8%) and were EUR 7.1 million (EUR 6.2 million). The operating profit was EUR 1.0 million (EUR 0.9 million). 6.3 percentage points (4.6 percentage points) of the growth of Direct Marketing's net sales are derived from intra-group business. TV Content Production July-September TV Content Production's net sales for July-September amounted to EUR 5.5 million (EUR 5.0 million) and the operating profit was EUR 0.2 million (EUR 0.2 million). The operating profit percentage was 2.9% (3.2%). Net sales of commercials were EUR 1.5 million (EUR 1.4 million) and the net sales of TV programme production were EUR 3.3 million (EUR 2.6 million).

Premedia July-September The net sales of the Premedia business area fell compared with the corresponding period in the previous year by 36.8%, totalling EUR 2.2 million (EUR 3.5 million). The operating profit was EUR 0.2 million (EUR -0.8 million). Financial performance has improved since the sale of the loss-making repro business operations in June. The business area's sub-areas i.e. prepress production, prepress services for packaging printing and digital material management, have developed as planned. January-September The net sales of the Premedia business area in January-September fell compared with the corresponding period in the previous year by 25.2% (13.2%) to EUR 10.1 million (EUR 13.6 million).

drawn up according to the IFRS recognition and valuation principles. The interim report for January-June is reported in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. In drawing up this interim report for January-September, Talentum has applied the same accounting principles as in the financial statements for 2006, but in such a way that it has introduced from January 1, 2007 the following new/revised standards and interpretations: IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures, IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and IFRIC 10, Interim Financial Reporting and Impairment. The introduction of these has had no effect on Talentum's interim report. RESTRUCTURING COSTS The Talentum Group has carried out measures aimed at improving profitability in the Publishing and Premedia business areas and Group Administration. The restructuring of Publishing and Group Administration was scheduled for the final quarter of 2006. Most of the expenses of EUR 1.6 million applying to them were included under personnel expenses. Non-recurring expenses of EUR 1 million were recorded for unrealized projects in the first and second quarter of 2006. A goodwill impairment of EUR 1.8 million was recorded for the Premedia business area in the final quarter of 2006. Repro business activities were sold in the second quarter of 2007, causing the recording of other expenses of EUR 1.7 million relating to the reorganization of Premedia business operations. It is expected that the 2007 reorganization expenses will increase the Group's effective tax rate. The reorganization expenses are included in the income statement under the following headings: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | 7-9/ | 7-9/ | 1-9/ |
