Marko Saarelainen, President and CEO of Honkarakenne Oyj, in connection with the half year financial report:
“After the difficult first quarter, the sales trend in Finland has been favourable. Turbulence in the Russian market is continuing and the trend in net sales and profitability has been negative. In Global Markets, the sales trend has been weak due to the scarcity of project sales. The Group’s net sales fell short of the previous year. At the end of the review period, the order book was at a higher level that in the previous year.
Outlays on marketing and collections in Finland started to have a positive impact in the review period now ended. Honkarakenne has benefited from the recovery of the Finnish market.
We have expanded our sales strength and we will continue the development of distribution networks, as well as invest in project sales in all markets.”
NET SALES
The Group’s second quarter net sales in 2016 decreased by 16 % to MEUR 9.9 (MEUR 11.8). In January-June net sales were MEUR 14.5 (MEUR 17.6), down 18 % on the corresponding period of the previous year.

The Group’s order book stood at MEUR 17.4 at the end of June. In the previous year at the same time period it was MEUR 17.3.
TRENDS IN PROFIT AND PROFITABILITY
The adjusted operating loss for the January-June period was MEUR -1.9 (MEUR -0.5), the operating loss was MEUR -2.1 (MEUR -1.0) and the result before taxes was MEUR -2.5 (MEUR -1.4). Adjustment items include MEUR 0.2 in costs related to the efficiency-boosting programme kicked off in May (adjustment items were MEUR 0.5 over the same period of the previous year).
The development of the operating result was negatively impacted by the year-on-year decline in net sales.
FINANCING AND INVESTMENTS
The financial position of the Group remained satisfactory during the repot period. The equity ratio stood at 31 % (31 %) and net financial liabilities at MEUR 4.9 (MEUR 8.8). MEUR 1.2 (MEUR 2.2) of the financial liabilities carries a 30 % equity ratio covenant term. Group liquid assets totalled MEUR 0.4 (MEUR 0.9). The Group also has a MEUR 7.8 (MEUR 7.8) bank overdraft facility, MEUR 1.1 of which had been drawn on at the end of the report period (MEUR 4.4). Gearing stood at 86 % (110 %).
The Group’s capital expenditure on fixed assets totalled MEUR 0.1 (MEUR 0.0).
In April Honkarakenne sold the Alajärvi factory property, inclusive of movables, to the City of Alajärvi at a price of MEUR 0.95. The Alajärvi factory property was categorised under non-current assets held for sale, and the transaction has no earnings impact on the result for 2016.
PRODUCTS AND MARKETING
In Finland & Baltics, sales development was positive. High quality, design, healthiness and a low carbon footprint are strong selling points for Honkarakenne. At this year’s housing fair in Seinäjoki, which is currently ongoing, Honkarakenne’s showcase house and the collection created around it were designed by SAFA Anssi Lassila, who has won a Finlandia Prize in architecture.
In Russia & CIS, the uncertainty surrounding the Russian economic situation is evident in Honkarakenne’s result for the first half of the year. Based on the first months of the year, 2016 will be a difficult year in Russian market. To bolster net sales, Honkarakenne will focus on expanding its product range and large-scale projects.
In Global Markets, the company is seeking sales growth in Central Europe, Asia and other international projects. International sales network and support functions are the primary development focuses.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
In the January–June period, the Group's R&D expenditure totalled MEUR 0.2 (MEUR 0.2), representing 1.1 % of net sales (1.0 %). The Group did not capitalise any development expenditure during the report period.
PERSONNEL
During the first half of the year, the Group employed a total of 109 (110) employees on average in terms of person-years. The Group had an average of 138 (143) employees during the first half of the year, representing a year-on-year decrease of 5.
In November 2015, the Group conducted negotiations under the act on co-operation within undertakings that resulted in temporary lay-offs of maximum 90 days for all clerical and managerial employees in Finland until the end of May 2016. In August–September 2015, the Group also conducted negotiations under the act on co-operation within undertakings that resulted in temporary lay-offs of maximum 90 days for all production employees in Finland until the end of May 2016.
In May-June, the Group conducted negotiations under the act on co-operation within undertakings and as a result Honkarakenne can lay-off clerical and managerial employees temporarily maximum 90 days and blue-collar workers will work under reduced working hours. The lay-off plan is effective until 31 March 2017 for white-collars and until 31 May 2017 for blue-collar workers.
CHANGE IN MANAGEMENT
Honkarakenne’s CFO Mikko Jaskari announced that he will transfer into another company’s employ. Mikko Jaskari’s employment relationship ended after the review period on 31 July 2016. Erja Heiskanen, Honkarakenne’s Vice President – Operations, left the company at the end of June due to the organisational reform carried out as part of the efficiency-boosting programme.
LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
In the second quarter of 2013, the Board of Directors decided on a long-term share-based incentive plan for members of the Executive Group. The performance period of the new plan began on 1 January 2013 and will end on 31 December 2016. The potential reward for the performance period is based on the cumulative earnings per share (EPS) for 2013 - 2016 and on the average return on capital employed (ROCE) for 2013 - 2016. Any rewards for the performance period 2013 - 2016 will be paid partly as B shares and partly in cash in 2017. The rewards to be paid on the basis of the performance period will correspond to a total maximum of about 340,000 B shares, including the amount to be paid in cash.
At the end of 2015, payouts from the share scheme were assessed as zero for the entire performance period 2013- 2016, and any amounts previously recognised for the scheme were cancelled.
HONKARAKENNE OYJ’S 2016 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING, BOARD OF DIRECTORS, AND AUDITORS
The Annual General Meeting of Honkarakenne Oyj was held at the company’s headquarters in Tuusula on 15 April 2016. The AGM approved the parent company's and the consolidated Financial Statements, and discharged the members of the Board of Directors and the CEO from liability for 2015. The AGM decided not to pay a dividend for the 2015 financial year.
Kati Rauhaniemi, Anita Saarelainen, Jukka Saarelainen, Mauri Saarelainen and Arto Tiitinen were re-elected to the company's Board of Directors. Rainer Häggblom was elected as a new member. At the Board's constituent meeting, Arto Tiitinen was elected Chairman of the Board and Mauri Saarelainen was elected as Deputy Chairman. At the same meeting, the Board decided to establish a Nomination and Remuneration Committee. The following directors were elected as members of the committee: Arto Tiitinen (as Chairman of the Committee), Anita Saarelainen and Mauri Saarelainen.
PricewaterhouseCoopers Oy, member of the Finnish Institute of Authorised Public Accountants, was re-appointed as auditor of the company, with Maria Grönroos, APA, as chief auditor.
OWN SHARES AND AUTHORISATIONS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Honkarakenne has not acquired its own shares during the report period. At the end of the report period, the Group held 364,385 of its Honkarakenne B shares with a total purchase price of EUR 1,381,750.23. These shares represent 6.99 % of the company's all shares and 3.34 % of all votes. The purchase cost has been deducted from shareholders' equity in the consolidated financial statements.
On 15 April 2016, the AGM decided that the Board of Directors will be authorised to acquire a maximum of 400,000 of the company’s own B shares with assets included in the company’s unrestricted equity. In addition, the AGM authorised the Board to decide on a rights issue or bonus issue and on granting special rights to shares referred to in Section 1 of Chapter 10 of the Limited Liability Companies Act in one or more instalments. By virtue of the authorisation, the Board may issue a maximum total of 1,500,000 new shares and/or relinquish old B shares held by the company, including those shares that can be issued by virtue of special rights. Both authorisations will remain in force until the next Annual General Meeting, however expiring at the latest on June 30, 2017.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Honkarakenne Oyj follows the Finnish Corporate Governance Code for listed companies issued by the Finnish Securities Market Association. The company’s website, www.honka.com, provides more information on the corporate governance systems.
FORTHCOMING RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Russia is one of Honkarakenne’s major business territories. The sanctions connected to the Ukrainian crisis, the trend in the price of oil and strong exchange rate fluctuations currently cause instability in the Russian market. This might have major impacts on Honkarakenne’s operations.
It is currently more difficult to acquire funding from the financial markets. Some of the company’s loans carry a 30% equity ratio covenant term. At the end of the second quarter, the equity ratio stood at 31% (31). If the company’s sales do not develop sufficiently well, it is possible that the terms of the covenant will be broken during the second half of the year. The company has launched negotiations on new financing with banks and other potential financiers.
The assessment of amounts in the balance sheet is based on current assessments by the management. If these assessments are changed, this may result in changes to the company’s result.
Deferred tax assets include MEUR 1.6 in tax losses carried forward. In Honkarakenne’s opinion, these deferred tax assets can be utilised by using the company’s estimated taxable income, which is based on Honkarakenne’s business plans including the current efficiency-boosting programme. If earnings do not develop as expected in the long term, it is possible that the tax assets might not be utilised in time and must be impaired. No new deferred tax assets were recognised in the balance sheet for the first and second quarters of 2016.
REPORTING
This report contains statements that relate to the future, and these statements are based on hypotheses that the company's management hold currently as well as on the decisions and plans that are currently in place. Although the management believes that the hypotheses relating to the future are well-founded, there is no guarantee that the said hypotheses will prove to be correct.
This half year financial report has been drafted in accordance with IAS 34. The principles adhered to in preparing the annual financial statements also apply to this half year financial report. The half year financial report should be read together with the annual financial statements for 2015. The new revised standards or interpretations effective as of 1 January 2016 have no bearing on the figures presented for the report period. The figures have not been examined by the auditor.
As from this half year financial report, Honkarakenne complies with the Guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures (APM) issued by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA). An APM is a financial measure of performance other than a financial measure defined or specified in IFRS. For this reason, the term “adjusted” is used instead of “without non-recurring items”.
THE OUTLOOK FOR 2016
Honkarakenne reiterates its view that the net sales and adjusted result before taxes for 2016 will be lower than in the previous year.

Such transactions include significant reorganisation expenses, impairment losses or reversals thereof, and capital gains and losses on assets.
Honka Management Oy, which is owned by the senior management of Honkarakenne Oyj and was established in 2010, is included in the consolidated financial statements due to the terms and conditions of the shareholder agreement concluded between it and Honkarakenne Oyj.
