Harju Elekter FINANCIAL RESULTS 05/07/2004
FINANCIAL RESULTS, Q1 2004
The consolidated net sales of Harju Elekter Group for Q1 2004 amounted to 85,7
MEEK or 5,5 MEUR (Q1 2003: 70,8 MEEK or 4,53 MEUR). The net profit of the
Group was 54,6 MEEK or 3,5 MEUR (Q1 2003: 7,6 MEEK or 489 TEUR) and EPS 10,12
EEK or 0,65 EUR (Q1 2003: 1,42 EEK or 0,09 EUR).
The Chairman of the Management Board Andres Allikmäe admits that focus on the
principal activity of the group — the production of electrical equipment and
materials — has brought success. The results of the parent company are
delightful. Although the results of the subsidiaries and affiliated companies
were influenced by price increases of raw materials in the world markets, to
some extent also by seasonality and the US dollar exchange rate, the
increasingly active cooperation, balanced production resources and integrated
product development among the companies of the group allow us to look into the
future optimistically.
Revenues, expenses and profit
The sales revenue of the consolidation group AS Harju Elekter comprised MEEK
85,7 (MEUR 5,5) in the Q1 2004, increasing by 21% in comparison with the same
period of the previous year. Of the sales revenue, 76% accounted for the sales
of industrial products and 24% for intermediate sales and sales of services.
At the same time, the sales of products in the first quarter increased by 19%
in comparison with the same period in 2003, and the sales of services and
intermediate sales altogether increased by 30%, including trade and
intermediate sales by 27%.
Of the sales revenue of the consolidation group AS Harju Elekter, 54% is
ascribed to the sales to Estonia and 46% to the sales to foreign markets. The
sales to the Estonian market went up by 29%, mainly on account of the
increased sales of the parent company AS Harju Elekter. The sales of products
to foreign markets went up by 13%. Attention should be paid to the fact that
the data of the first quarter of 2004 include also the consolidated sales
revenues of the Lithuanian subsidiary Rifas, which explains the boosted sales
volume in the Lithuanian market. The Republic of Finland, with its share of
34% in turnover, continued to be the largest target country of export.
In the parent company, the turnover grew by 27%, the total profit by 31% and
the operating profit by 65%. The turnover of the subsidiaries remained lower
than expected in the first quarter. This was caused by a smaller number of
orders than predicted for the products of industrial sector and automated
equipment in Finland and by lower turnover due to seasonality of sales from
the Lithuanian subsidiaries.
The total profit of the consolidation group AS Harju Elekter was MEEK 14,1
(MEUR 0,9), being 2,6% higher than in the previous year. The financial results
of the group were influenced by an almost double increase in the prices of
copper and aluminum and by a moderate increase in the prices of sheet steel in
the world market. The US dollar exchange rate (USD 1 ‹ EEK 13 during the
entire first quarter) influenced above all the results of the
telecommunications sector.
The general administrative expenses were MEEK 6.9 (EUR 438 000) and the
marketing expenses MEEK 4,4 (EUR 281 000), growing by 27% and 18%,
respectively. The rapid growth of expenses in comparison with the first
quarter of the previous year was caused by the fact that the indicators of
2004 also include the expenses of the Lithuanian subsidiary Rifas. If the
effect of marketing and general administrative costs of Rifas were eliminated,
the expenses would remain at the level of the previous year.
Depreciation of the fixed assets of the consolidation group in the Q1 2004 was
MEEK 2,9 (EUR 187 000) or 34% more than in the same period of the previous
year. Depreciation grew by 16% on account of the depreciation of fixed assets
calculated by UAB Rifas. The rapid growth in depreciation was triggered by the
investments made in 2003 in expanding the rental and production premises and
enhancing the capacities.
Financial operations yielded a total profit of MEEK 51,2 (MEUR 3,5), which is
seven times more than in the same period of the previous year. The major
source of financial income was the share of PKC Group Oyj. The recalculation
of the value of shares as a fair value generated financial income of MEEK 31,6
or MEUR 2,0. PKC Group Oyj paid dividends in the amount of MEEK 19,4 or MEUR
1,2 for 2003, which was over four times more than in the previous year.
The net profit of the consolidation group was MEEK 54,6 or MEUR 3,5 in the Q1
2004, increasing by 7,8 times in comparison with the Q1 of the previous year.
Investments and capital employed
During the investment period, the Group invested in tangible assets a total of
15,3 MEEK or 0,98 MEUR (Q1 2003: 8,6 MEEK or 0,55 MEUR), of which in
technology was 9,3 MEEK or 0,59 MEUR (Q1 2003: 2,0 MEEK or 127 TEUR) and
construction and renovation work of buildings and plant was 4,2 MEEK or 0,27
MEUR (Q1 2003: 6,4 MEEK or 409 TEUR).
