Lassila & Tikanoja plc: Interim Report 1 January-30 September 2012


Helsinki, Finland, 2012-10-23 07:00 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 


Net sales for the third quarter EUR 161.2 million (EUR 163.5 million);
operating profit EUR 19.6 million (EUR 18.2 million); operating profit
excluding non-recurring items EUR 19.7 million (EUR 18.2 million); earnings per
share EUR 0.40 (EUR 0.32) 
Net sales for January-September EUR 502.2 million (EUR 485.1 million);
operating profit EUR 38.7 million (EUR 33.5 million); operating profit
excluding non-recurring items EUR 36.9 million (EUR 34.7 million); earnings per
share EUR 0.71 (EUR 0.62) 
Group's full-year net sales in 2012 are expected to remain at the 2011 level.
Operating profit, excluding non-recurring items, is expected to remain at the
2011 level or improve slightly. 

CEO PEKKA OJANPÄÄ:

”Our performance in the third quarter was more or less in line with our
expectations. Operating profit excluding non-recurring items picked up from the
comparison period despite the economic uncertainty, which, to some extent,
reflected on demand for services required by the industry. Cleaning and Office
Support Services performed particularly well. Our key priority at this time is
to implement the strategy announced in September, as well as key projects
designed to improve our profitability.” 


GROUP NET SALES AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

Third quarter
Lassila & Tikanoja's net sales for the third quarter decreased by 1.4% to EUR
161.2 million (EUR 163.5 million). Operating profit was EUR 19.6 million (EUR
18.2 million), representing 12.2% (11.1%) of net sales, and operating profit
excluding non-recurring items was EUR 19.7 million (EUR 18.2 million). Earnings
per share were EUR 0.40 (EUR 0.32). 

Net sales declined slightly from the comparison period, as a result of the
divestment of L&T's holding in the joint venture L&T Recoil and postponed
shutdown-related work in process cleaning services. Meanwhile, demand for
wood-based fuels improved from the comparison period. 

Following the divestment of holdings in the loss-making L&T Recoil, the
Environmental Services division was able to improve its profitability, which in
turn boosted the quarter's financial performance.  Successful sales of
commissioned assignments in Cleaning and Office Support Services also
contributed to our performance improvement. In addition, Renewable Energy
Sources was able to reduce its losses compared to the comparison period. 

January-September
Lassila & Tikanoja's net sales for January-September amounted to EUR 502.2
million (EUR 485.1 million); an 
increase of 3.5%. Operating profit was EUR 38.7 million (EUR 33.5 million),
representing 7.7% (6.9%) of net 
sales, and operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 36.9 million
(EUR 34.7 million). Earnings per 
share were EUR 0.71 (EUR 0.62).

Net sales grew in January-September, primarily thanks to the increase in demand
for Environmental Services and wood-based fuels seen in the first half. 

The overall performance improvement from the comparison period could be largely
attributed to the volume increase in Environmental Services, the divestment of
holdings in the loss-making joint venture L&T Recoil at the end of June and the
decrease in losses recorded by Renewable Energy Sources. Profitability in
January-September was eroded by the non-recurring compensation of EUR 0.7
million paid in the second quarter, in accordance with the collective labour
agreement and the increase in subcontracting and labour costs in Property
Maintenance. 

A non-recurring capital gain of EUR 4.2 million was recorded in the second
quarter, from the sale of holdings in L&T Recoil Oy, and non-recurring costs
totalling EUR 2.2 million from the rearrangement and efficiency enhancement
measures taken in Environmental Services, Property Maintenance and in the
Swedish business. The efficiency enhancement measures are expected to generate
annual savings of at least EUR 4.0 million. The measures are proceeding as
planned.

* Breakdown of operating profit excluding non-recurring items is presented
below the division reviews. 


NET SALES AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE BY DIVISION
Environmental Services

Third quarter
The division's net sales for the third quarter were down by 3.0% to EUR 83.3
million (EUR 85.9 million). Operating profit totalled EUR 12.8 million (EUR
12.3 million) and operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 12.8
million (EUR 12.3 million). 

The division's net sales fell slightly from the comparison period following the
divestment of holdings in L&T Recoil in June. Some shutdown-related work in
process cleaning services was postponed to October, which also taxed net sales.
Waste management and recycling service volumes and the prices of secondary raw
materials remained at a healthy level during the quarter. In waste management,
prices of services were revised at the beginning of the period, to match higher
production costs. 

The division's profitability improvement from the comparison period could be
attributed to the L&T Recoil divestment at the end of June. 

Net sales and operating profit from international operations declined slightly
from the comparison period. 

January-September
The Environmental Services division's net sales for January-September amounted
to EUR 248.4 million (EUR 241.9 million), showing an increase of 2.7%.
Operating profit totalled EUR 30.4 million (EUR 25.7 million) and 
operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 27.1 million (EUR 25.7
million). 

Waste management services and the healthy demand for industrial services were
the key drivers of net sales growth in January-September. Towards the end of
the period, shutdown-related work in process cleaning in particular were again
affected by postponements. Waste volumes and the prices of secondary raw
materials (fibres, plastics, metals) remained robust throughout the period. 

The division's profitability rose following the sale of L&T Recoil, which,
together with production efficiency boosting measures, pushed operating profit
up. Performance was taxed by the increase seen in the first half in fuel and
repair costs, as well as weaker profitability in international operations. 

At the end of the second quarter, L&T sold its 50 percent holding in the joint
venture L&T Recoil to the co-owner, EcoStream Oy. The sale price consisted of a
EUR 10 million cash contribution and a slightly lower than 20 percent interest
in EcoStream. A non-recurring capital gain of EUR 4.2 million on the
arrangement was recorded for the second quarter. At the same time, a
non-recurring cost of EUR 2.0 million was recorded in financial expenses,
consisting of interest receivable from subordinated loans granted to the joint
venture. 

Cleaning and Office Support Services

Third quarter
The division's net sales for the third quarter totalled EUR 41.3 million (EUR
41.5 million), showing a decrease of 0.5%. Operating profit totalled EUR 4.5
million (EUR 3.7 million) and operating profit excluding non-recurring items
was EUR 4.5 million (EUR 3.7 million). 

Net sales in domestic operations remained at almost the previous year's level.
Despite price competition, the division was able to raise its profitability
year-on-year thanks to successful sales of commissioned assignments and fixed
cost management. 

Net sales from international operations remained unchanged, while the financial
result improved slightly thanks to higher profitability in Swedish operations. 

January-September
The January-September net sales of Cleaning and Office Support Services
increased by 3.5% to EUR 121.3 million (EUR 117.2 million). Operating profit
totalled EUR 5.6 million (EUR 6.2 million) and operating profit excluding
non-recurring items was EUR 6.7 million (EUR 6.4 million). 

The division's year-on-year net sales grew slightly as a result of acquisitions
made in the spring 2011. Demand for commissioned assignments was healthy
throughout the period. 

The division's operating profit rose from the comparison period, thanks to a
good performance in commissioned assignments. In the first half, profitability
was adversely affected by the loss-making operations in Sweden and higher
labour costs, which were not fully set off by service price hikes. 
The non-recurring cost of EUR 1.0 million recorded in the second quarter for
the reorganisation of the Swedish operations eroded the division's operating
profit. 

Property Maintenance

Third quarter
The division's net sales for the third quarter were up by 0.1% to EUR 31.4
million (EUR 31.3 million). Operating profit totalled EUR 3.3 million (EUR 3.6
million) and operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 3.3 million
(EUR 3.6 million). 

A strong workload in maintenance services for technical systems raised net
sales to the comparison period's level. 

The division's operating profit decreased slightly from the comparison period,
since the commissioned assignments in damage repair services were less in size.
Meanwhile, the profitability of property maintenance and maintenance services
for technical systems improved, thanks to production efficiency enhancement
measures. 

In damage repair services, new co-operation agreements were signed with
insurance companies during the quarter, which will strengthen L&T's market
position in the future and provide a steadier workload. 

January-September
The division's net sales for January-September were up by 2.2% to EUR 103.4
million (EUR 101.1 million). Operating profit totalled EUR 4.8 million (EUR 6.3
million) and operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 4.9 million
(EUR 6.3 million). 

Expansion of the damage repair service network and the increase in workload
contributed to the year-on-year increase in the division's net sales. 

Increasingly tight price competition in property maintenance and the rise in
subcontracting and overtime costs in the first half eroded the division's
operating profit. 

Renewable Energy Sources

Third quarter
Third quarter net sales of Renewable Energy Sources (L&T Biowatti) were up by
10.6% to EUR 8.0 million 
(EUR 7.2 million). The division recorded an operating loss of EUR 0.4 million
(a loss of EUR 1.1 million), and 
an operating loss excluding non-recurring items of EUR 0.4 million (a loss of
EUR 1.1 million). 

Volume growth boosted net sales, even though the warm and rainy weather in the
early autumn dampened demand and taxed the energy content of forest processed
chips. Problems in peat production will raise the competitiveness of wood-based
fuels in the coming heating season. Smaller depreciation helped curtail the
division's operating loss. 


January-September
January-September net sales of Renewable Energy Sources (L&T Biowatti) were up
by 14.7% to EUR 37.7 million (EUR 32.8 million). Operating loss amounted to EUR
0.3 million (a loss of EUR 3.1 million), and operating loss excluding
non-recurring items was EUR 0.2 million (a loss of EUR 2.7 million). 

Net sales increased from the comparison period thanks to successful new
sales.Profitability also improved thanks to smaller depreciation and a trimmer
cost structure. Chips' weak energy content had a negative impact on first-half
results.

FINANCING

Cash flows from operating activities amounted to EUR 49.7 million (EUR 45.2
million). EUR 6.4 million was tied up in the working capital (EUR 9.4 million
tied up). 

At the end of the period, interest-bearing liabilities amounted to EUR 114.0
million (EUR 153.6 million). L&T Recoil accounted for EUR 18.6 million of the
interest-bearing liabilities in the comparison period. Net interest-bearing
liabilities amounted to EUR 102.3 million, showing a decrease of EUR 24.9
million from the beginning of the year and EUR 39.4 million from the comparison
period. 
Net finance costs amounted to EUR 4.9 million (EUR 3.5 million) in
January-September. This increase could be attributed to the non-recurring cost
recognition of EUR 2.0 million on interest receivable from subordinated loans
given to L&T Recoil Oy in the second quarter. Net finance costs were 1.0%
(0.7%) of net sales. 

The average interest rate on long-term loans (with interest-rate hedging) was
2.4% (3.1%). Long-term loans totalling EUR 7.2 million will mature during the
rest of the year.

NEAR-TERM UNCERTAINTIES

Economic uncertainty may cause radical changes in the Environmental Services
division's secondary raw material markets and in industrial customer
relationships. 

Uncertainties associated with government subsidies for renewable fuels and with
their continuity could affect demand for the Renewable Energy Sources
division's services. 

More detailed information on L&T's risks and risk management is available in
the Annual Report for 2011, in the report of the Board of Directors, and in the
consolidated financial statements. 


OUTLOOK FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR

Despite the economic uncertainty, the outlook for Environmental Services is, by
and large, stable, but any changes in demand for industrial services may
complicate operational adjustments. 

The outlook for Cleaning and Office Support Services and for Property
Maintenance is stable. 

Demand for Renewable Energy Sources' (L&T Biowatti) wood-based fuels will pick
up from the comparison period, and with a more effective cost structure in
place, operating profit will improve. 

Group's full-year net sales in 2012 are expected to remain at the 2011 level.
Operating profit, excluding non-recurring items, is expected to remain at the
2011 level or improve slightly.

Acquisitions by Property Maintenance
- 1 January 2012, the property maintenance operations of IK Kiinteistöpalvelu
Oy. 
- 1 February 2012, the business of Jyvässeudun Talonmiehet Oy and
Kiinteistöhuolto Markku Hyttinen Oy. 

Acquisitions by Environmental Services
- 1 May 2012, the waste management business of Sita Finland Oy in Oulu.

The figures for these acquired businesses are stated in aggregate, because none
of them is of material importance when considered separately. Fair values have
been determined as of the time the acquisition was realised. No business
operations have been divested as a consequence of any acquisition. All
acquisitions have been paid for in cash. With share acquisitions, L&T was able
to gain 100% of the voting rights. The conditional consideration is tied to the
transfer of the customer contracts to Lassila & Tikanoja plc, and the estimates
of the fair values of considerations were determined on the basis of
probability-weighted final acquisition price. The estimates for the conditional
consideration have not changed between the time of acquisition and the balance
sheet date. Trade and other receivables have been recorded at fair value at the
time of acquisition. Individual acquisition prices have not been itemised
because none of them is of material importance when considered separately.
Profit for the period includes changes allocated to acquisition prices
amounting to EUR 150 thousand. 

By net sales, the largest acquisition was the business of Jyvässeudun
Talonmiehet Oy (EUR 858 thousand). 

It is not possible to itemise the effects of the acquired businesses on the
consolidated net sales and profit for the period, because L&T integrates its
acquisitions into the current business operations as quickly as possible to
gain synergy benefits. 

The accounting policy concerning business combinations is presented in Annual
Report under Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements and under Summary
on significant accounting policies.
