AS Klementi FINANCIAL RESULTS 30.11.2005
KLEMENTI´S FINANCIAL RESULTS,9 MONTHS 2005
AS Klementi is a company operating in Estonia in the field of
design, manufacturing, retail sales and wholesale of apparel.
The company has been registered and operates in Tallinn. The
head office of the company is located at Akadeemia tee 33,
Tallinn.
The clearance of spring and summer collections in July and
August and the warm September had a significant impact on the
performance results of the Company for the third quarter, as a
result of which the sales of outdoor clothes fell short of
plans.
The consolidated net sales of the AS Klementi group for the
first nine months of 2005 amounted to EEK 89.4 million (€5.7
million) and the net loss was EEK 8.3 million (€0.5 million).
Sales for the same period in the previous year amounted to EEK
108.0 million (€6.9 million) and the net loss was EEK 5.9
million (€0.4 million). Sales decreased over the first nine
months of 2005 by 14.6% compared to the previous year.
Apparel sales made up 76% of total sales during the first 9
months of the year 2005 (81% in the first nine months of 2004).
The percentage of subcontracted production in the sales
structure made up 21.8% (17.3% in the same period of the year
2004). Compared to the same period of the previous year, export
sales decreased by EEK 14.9 million (€0.9 million) in the first
9 months of the year 2005. The reason for the decline in net
sales for the nine months lies in a decrease of wholesale to
Sweden and Norway.
As of 30 September 2005, 417 employees worked for the Group
(460 employees as of 30 September 2004).
Retail trade
Starting from 2005, AS Klementi is focusing more on the
development of retail trade. In autumn 2004 AS Klementi started
the reorganisation of its retail trade into a retail chain
operating under the PTA trademark. During the nine months under
review, two PTA stores were opened in Latvia: one in the Sola
Centre in Daugavpils and one in the Mols Centre in Riga. The
selling space in Tartu was moved into the Tartu Kaubamaja
Department Store, which had been opened just recently, and the
factory outlet operating in Stockholm was closed at the end of
June.
Compared to the same period of the previous year, retail sales
have increased by 4% over the first 9 months of the year 2005.
Compared to the first nine months of 2004, the relative share
of retail sales has grown by 16% over the first 9 months of the
year 2005.
At the same time the efficiency of sales (sales/m2) has grown
by nearly 12%. As of the end of the third quarter of 2005,
Klementi was using 2646 square metres of sales area (2689
square metres in 2004).
In the fourth quarter of 2005, Klementi is focusing primarily
on the continuous improvement of the efficiency of sales areas.
To that end, the Company has sought to reconcile the assortment
of its products with customer expectations and commenced the
development of a new loyal customer programme.
Wholesale
As a result of inappropriate positioning of apparel marketed
under the PTA trademark at the time of designing collections
for autumn 2003 and spring 2004, wholesale to Scandinavian
countries declined in 2005. By now, AS Klementi has adjusted
the positioning of the PTA trademark and supplemented its
collections. Being based on the presales for the year 2006, the
Company is expecting a substantial increase in wholesale, incl.
export sales.
Profit
Operating profit for the first 9 months of the year 2005 before
depreciation of fixed assets amounted to EEK 1.7 million (€0.1
million), representing a decrease by EEK 2.3 million (€0.1
million) when compared to the same period of the previous year.
The net loss for the third quarter amounted to EEK 2.7 million
(€0.2 million) – an increase by EEK 1.4 million (€0.1 million)
when compared to the same period in 2004.
Balance Sheet and ratios
The consolidated Balance Sheet total of AS Klementi was EEK
97.3 million (€6.2 million) as of 30 September 2005. The
Balance Sheet total has decreased by EEK 8.5 million (€0.5
million) since the beginning of the year.
As of the end of September, inventories amounted to EEK 23.8
million (€1.5 million) and had decreased by EEK 4.4 million
(€0.3 million) since the beginning of the year. The decrease in
inventories occurred mainly among the inventories of finished
goods.
Trade receivables are on the same level as of the end of the
year 2004. Considering the wholesale of goods on credit in the
third quarter as well as the decreased wholesale volumes, trade
receivables can be deemed to be on an anticipated level when
compared to the situation at the end of the third quarter of
2004. Accounts payable have decreased by EEK 0.8 million (€0.05
million) as of the end of the third quarter of 2005.
Total debts amounted to EEK 70.2 million (€4.5 million) as of
the end of the accounting period and have increased by EEK 0.8
million (€0.05 million) since the beginning of the year. Debts
to the amount of EEK 19.8 million (€1.3 million) were repaid
during the first 9 months of the year 2005. Debts increased as
a result of a loan of working capital raised for the purpose of
financing the autumn collection of 2005. The loan will be due
in the fourth quarter. When compared to the end of the third
quarter of 2004, debts have decreased by EEK 8.8 million (€0.6
million) by the end of September.

consolidated data of the AS Klementi group for the first 9
months of the year 2005 are as follows:
