UUTECHNIC GROUP’S HALF YEAR FINANCIAL REPORT FOR 1 JANUARY – 30 JUNE 2016


Helsinki, 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.

GOVERNANCE

Plc Uutechnic Group Oyj has complied with the Finnish Corporate Governance Code
2015 since 1 January 2016. 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.

In conjunction with the financing arrangement made in the fiscal year 2015, the 
 loans granted by Mikko Laakkonen and Hannu Laakkonen, totalling EUR 2.0        
 million, were converted into unsecured subordinated loans. These loans are     
 subordinated loans in accordance with chapter 12 of the Limited Liability      
 Companies Act, and their capital repayments and interest payments must meet the
 conditions provided in the Act. The loans will be repaid as a one-off payment  
 on 31 December 2019. However, the company is entitled to pay early. The annual 
 interest rate on the outstanding loan capital is 4%. Of the total loan capital,
 EUR 1 million involves a specific right of exchange. To the extent that loan   
 capital remains unpaid on 31 December 2017, the creditors are entitled to      
 convert EUR 1 million of the capital, in part or in full, into shares in the   
 company at a value of EUR 0.25. This right of exchange is based on the
