2016-08-17 09:00:01 CEST 2016-08-17 09:00:01 CEST REGULATED INFORMATION Plc Uutechnic Group Oyj - Half Year financial reportUUTECHNIC GROUP’S HALF YEAR FINANCIAL REPORT FOR 1 JANUARY – 30 JUNE 2016Helsinki, Finland, 2016-08-17 09:00 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PLC UUTECHNIC GROUP OYJ HALF YEAR FINANCIAL REPORT AUGUST 17, 2016 at 10:00 am UUTECHNIC GROUP’S HALF YEAR FINANCIAL REPORT FOR 1 JANUARY – 30 JUNE 2016 TURNOVER AND OPERATING PROFIT IMPROVED – ALL UNITS RECORDED A POSITIVE RESULT Uutechnic Group’s turnover for 1 January – 30 June 2016 was EUR 16.9 million (1.7 million), and its operating profit was EUR 1.06 million (0.38 million). The Group’s order book stood at EUR 19.5 million on 30 June 2016. The comparable order book for 2015 was EUR 14.5 million. The business arrangement carried out in the Group in 2015 was recognised as a reverse acquisition in the Group’s IFRS financial statements. For this reason, the comparison figures for the previous financial year presented in the half year financial report on 30 June 2016 are figures concerning Uutechnic Oy before the demerger. The consolidated figures for 2015 presented in the half year financial report are not comparable to the Group’s previous reporting. As applicable, the combined figures for Uutechnic Oy, Japrotek Oy Ab, Stelzer Rührtechnik Int and AP-Tela Oy – the Group units engaged in business operations – are presented as comparable figures for 2015. Any figures for 2015 with no mention of comparability are figures for Uutechnic Oy. KEY EVENTS IN 1 JANUARY – 30 JUNE 2016 Martti Heikkilä, CEO of Uutechnic Group says that a new group of companies created through a merger in October 2015 was well-received in the market. Our customers have shown that they trust our Group’s ability to deliver high-quality process equipment, agitators, complex tanks and columns, as well as combinations of these, to the process industry. Our thick-walled, welded and machined steel pipes, as well as our rolls for the paper, energy and crane industries, have found their customers. Our order book developed favourably during the first half of the year, and all of our subsidiaries recorded a positive result over that period of time. The efficiency programmes that had been started within the Group, aiming at total savings of EUR 1.5 million per year compared to 2015, progressed as planned during the review period and continue to be implemented. The Group is also continuing to review and streamline its companies’ processes. The business environment has remained challenging globally. The competitive situation is intensifying in the standard tank and agitator markets. However, with regard to complex process industry projects, customers trust experience and strong expertise. In a challenging business environment, our cost-efficiency continues to be a key factor in terms of profitable and competitive business operations. Of the industries that are important for Uutechnic Group, investments in the paper and pulp industry continue to create opportunities for new orders, whereas investments in the mining and mineral processing industries are at a low level. Replacement investments are about to be carried out in the chemical, fertiliser, food and pharmaceutical industries. However, as an agile operator, Uutechnic Group is well-positioned for profitable business operations even in a challenging market situation. NEW ORDERS AND ORDER BOOK During the review period, the Group’s subsidiaries received significant new orders. At the end of the period, the order book stood at a good level, totaling EUR 19.5 million. The comparable order book for 2015 was EUR 14.5 million. TURNOVER The Group’s turnover for the review period was EUR 16.9 million. Its comparable turnover for 2015 was EUR 13.9 million. Finland represented 45% of the Group’s turnover, including indirect exports. The rest of Europe constituted 45%, Asia constituted 9% and North America constituted 1% of its turnover. RESULT AND PROFITABILITY The Group’s operating result for the review period was EUR 1.06 million (0.38 million) and the result of the review period was EUR 0.70 million (0.85 million). The Group’s earnings per share were EUR 0.01. All of its business units recorded a positive result for the review period. This was partly due to the fact that the efficiency programmes that were started during the fiscal period progressed as planned. CASH FLOW AND BALANCE SHEET The Group’s cash flow from operations for the review period was EUR 0.74 million (0.80 million), and its cash flow from investing activities was EUR -0.70 million (0,00 million). Most of the investments were investments in fixed assets related to AP-Tela Oy and Japrotek Oy Ab. At the end of the review period, the Group’s interest-bearing liabilities stood at EUR 5.3 million, of which EUR 2 million was attributable to subordinated loans from owners. The consolidated balance sheet stood at EUR 25.8 million (7.1 million). The Group’s equity ratio was 58.2% (91.9%). CHANGE IN GROUP STRUCTURE In its financial statements for 2015, the Group announced the planned merger of Steva Oy with Uutechnic Oy. The merger was implemented on 30 June 2016. The Group has also decided to centralise its agitator production in Finland in Uusikaupunki. With regard to this, a stock exchange release was issued on 21 June 2016. SUBSIDIARIES AP-Tela Oy’s order book remained at a good level during the review period. In January, the company secured the largest order in its history. The order was placed by Valmet and included the design and manufacture of 27 massive drying cylinders. The order will be delivered in the fourth quarter of 2016. With regard to operational development at AP-Tela, special attention will be paid to production lead times. AP-Tela’s turnover increased during the first half of the year, and its operating result was positive. Japrotek Oy Ab had a challenging first half of 2016 due to a low order book. Towards the summer, its order book improved considerably. Japrotek Oy Ab received significant orders, including orders from Kemapco for the fertiliser industry in Jordan, a client producing tall oil in Sweden and a Finnish equipment manufacturer for the nuclear power industry, as well as an order for a turnkey delivery of a crystallisation plant for the Joutseno plant of Kemira. The company has deliveries booked until 2018. Its turnover increased year-on-year. The company started an efficiency programme in early 2016, and it was implemented as planned during the review period. The company’s operations were clearly loss-making in 2015 but turned positive during the first half of 2016. Stelzer Rührtechnik Int GmbH faced intensified competition in its traditional areas of operation, and its challenges in the first half of 2016 also included unevenly distributed agitator deliveries. However, the company was able to cut costs in response to the slow beginning of the year. Its turnover increased, and its operating result was positive. Uutechnic Oy had a good first half of the year, with its turnover growing despite the lack of major projects. Its profitability remained at a very good level. RESEARCH AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT Research and product development expenses are recognised as an annual cost. The Group’s research and development operations are customer-oriented and mainly focus on the development of customers’ production results and processes. PERSONNEL On 30 June 2016, Uutechnic Group had 189 employees, of whom 77 were professional and managerial employees and 112 were production employees. At the beginning of the period, the Group had 179 employees. The increase is due to an increase in the number of production employees. BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND CEO On 28 April 2016, the Annual General Meeting re-elected Sami Alatalo and Jouko Peräaho as Board members and elected Hannu Kottonen and Kristiina Lagerstedt as new Board members. The new members are independent of the company and its major shareholders. Jouko Peräaho continues to serve as Chair of the Board, with Sami Alatalo as Vice Chair. Martti Heikkilä has served as the CEO of the company since 1 December 2015. Ismo Haaparanta was appointed as Deputy CEO of the Group as of 18 January 2016. He is responsible for the Group’s business development and HR.

The Finnish Corporate Governance Code 2015 was issued by the Securities Market Association on 1 October 2015. SIGNIFICANT RISKS AND UNCERTAINTY FACTORS AND THEIR MANAGEMENT The demand for Uutechnic Group’s products is dependent on trends and developments in the global economy and the Group’s customer industries, thereby posing a general external risk to its operations. The Group seeks to mitigate the risks arising from changes in demand by targeting its sales operations in line with current trends in various market areas and customer industries. According to the Board of Directors of the Group’s parent company, other significant risks and uncertainty factors to which the Group is exposed are related to at least the following aspects: The profitable business operations of the Group’s previously loss-making units require the continuous improvement of their competitive ability and the achievement of sufficient business volumes, as well as the continued successful integration of operational development into operations. Part of the Group’s business operations consist of major or large project deliveries. Extensive and complicated projects involve the risk that the future costs and any other risks related to the delivery cannot be estimated sufficiently accurately in the bidding phase. In such cases, the result of the project may prove weaker than expected. Unfavourable changes in the financial markets may have an effect on the availability of financing for customers’ investments, the Group’s result and the availability of equity and debt financing at competitive terms. The Group seeks to protect itself against risks using all measures that can reasonably be implemented. Such measures include measures aiming for the improvement of profitability and productivity, training for employees, guidelines and instructions, insurance policies, critical examination of the terms and conditions of commercial agreements and continuous, systematic monitoring of operations. OUTLOOK In 2016, the main goal is to improve performance ability in all of the Group’s units and harmonise its corporate culture and operating methods. Due to the Group’s efficiency programmes and the favourable development of its order book, its turnover in 2016 is expected to be over EUR 35 million. All of its units are expected to record positive results, and the Group’s operating result is expected to be EUR 2.2 to 2.4 million. EVENTS AFTER THE END OF THE REVIEW PERIOD On August 16, 2016 the company announced that unlike previously announced Plc Uutechnic Group Oyj will publish the Half year financial report from 1.1. - 30.6.2016 on August 17, 2016. ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES This half year financial report was prepared in accordance with the IAS 34 standard. It does not include all of the notes or other information to be presented with financial statements. For this reason, the half year financial report should be read together with the financial statements for 2015. The half year financial report was prepared in line with the accounting principles presented in the financial statements for 2015. The information included in this half year financial report has not been audited. The figures are presented in thousands of euros (EUR 1,000), unless otherwise mentioned. The business arrangement carried out in the Group in 2015 was recognised as a reverse acquisition in the Group’s IFRS financial statements. For this reason, the comparison figures for the previous financial year presented in the half year financial report on 30 June 2016 are figures concerning Uutechnic Oy.
