AS HARJU ELEKTER FINANCIAL RESULTS 2005-11-02
FINANCIAL RESULTS, 1-9/2005
The economic results of the Harju Elekter group for the 9 months of 2005 are
good and in line with the estimates. The Estonian companies of the group have
again grown rapidly; the progress of the subsidiaries outside Estonia has been
more stable. The group as a whole achieved a remarkable growth of both sales
income (+13,9%) and EBIT (+19,2%). The rapid economic growth and market demand
favor the group’s further development. The share price of PKC Group on the
Helsinki Stock Exchange rose in Q3, having grown by nearly one-fifth since the
beginning of the year.

The consolidated sales income for the 9 months of 2005 increased by 14%
compared to the same period of the previous year, to MEEK 358,9 (MEUR 22,9).
Of this, 66% was attributable to the sales of electrical equipment, having
increased by 16% compared to the same period of the previous year, to MEEK
236,8 (MEUR 15,13); the sales of sheet metal products and services increased
by 8% to MEEK 21,4 (MEUR 1,37) and the sales of telecommunication products
increased by 9% to MEEK 16,1 (MEUR 1,03). In summary, the sales of industrial
products accounted for 76% while intermediate commercial transactions and
services formed 24% of the consolidated sales income.
Sales to the Estonian market accounted for 53%, increasing by 28% to MEEK
190,7 (MEUR 12,2). The biggest export markets were still Finland Republic
(turnover MEEK 124,3 or MEUR 7,9) and Lithuania (turnover MEEK 34,9 or MEUR
2,2).65% of the sales revenue of the group was contributed by Estonian
enterprises (an increase in turnover growth by 15% year-on-year), 25% by
Finland (turnover growth 5%), and 10% Lithuania (turnover growth 3%).
The group’s consolidated net sales for Q3 were MEEK 129,7 or MEUR 8,3 (Q3
2004: MEEK 126,0 or MEUR 8,1). The quarter’s results are largely influenced by
the period in which a large-scale order or project is finalised.
The consolidated operating expenses for 9M totaled MEEK 43,1 (MEUR 2,8),
having increased by MEEK 7,6 (MEUR 0,5), and the Q3 operating expenses were
MEEK 14,7 (MEUR 0,9), having increased by MEEK 2,6 (MEUR 0,2), that is 22%.
The increase in operating expenses is due to the price rise of outsourced
services, on the one hand. On the other hand, the group’s development and
gradual increase in the volume of sales orders over the years has caused a
need for new jobs and boosted product development expenses. The number of
employees in the group increased by 35, of them 14 was hired to the sales and
development departments.
The total operating profit of the consolidation group AS Harju Elekter was
MEEK 28,6 or MEUR 1,9, increasing by 19% compared to the same period last
year and EBIT to net sales 8% (9M 2004: 7,6%).
The group’s EBIT to net sales for Q3 was 9,8%, which was 1,8 percentage points
higher than the average for nine months, although as a result of the more
rapid growth of operating expenses than sales income, EBIT for Q3 decreased by
MEEK 1,3 (TEUR 86) to MEEK 12,7 (TEUR 814).
The group’s consolidated net income for Q3 was MEEK 61,4 or MEUR 3,9 (Q3 2004:
MEEK 14,9 or MEUR 1,0). Net income was substantially influenced by the change
in the market price of the share of PKC Group Oyj, which is included in the
balance sheet. Its share price rose by EUR 1,70 (EEK 26,60) in Q3 and
financial income from revaluation of the shares amounted to MEEK 48,7 or MEUR
3,1 (the loss for Q3 2004 was MEEK -2,1 or MEUR -0,14). The total financial
income from share price fluctuations for 9M was MEEK 52,2 or MEUR 3,3 (9M
2004: MEEK 48,8 or MEUR 3,1). PKC Group paid an extraordinarily large dividend
(MEEK 24,3; MEUR 1,5), while in 2005, they paid in a total of MEEK 5,8, i.e.
MEUR 0,37 only. The income tax expenditure totaled MEEK 3,2, i.e. TEUR 202 as
reported for the 9M 2005 report in the income statement (9M 2004: TEEK 49,
i.e. TEUR 3).
The consolidated net profit for 9M was MEEK 82,2 or MEUR 5,3 (9M 2004: MEEK
94,8 or MEUR 6,1).EPS was EEK 4,89 or EUR 0,31 (9M 2004: EEK 5,64 or EUR 0,36)*
and net profit margin 22,9% (9M 2004: 30,1%).
During the accounting period, the Group invested in tangible and intangible
assets a total of MEEK 31,2 or MEUR 2,0 (9M 2004: MEEK 24,5 or MEUR 1,6). A
total of MEEK 22,4 (MEUR 1,4) were invested in real estate in the 9M 2005;
MEEK 3,9 (MEUR 0,25) was invested in plant and equipment, and MEEK 2,6 (MEUR
0,17) in the acquisition of land.
The company purchased, on the conditions of a financial lease, a sheet metal
center with an acquisition cost of MEEK 1,29 (TEUR 83). The debt is repayable
within four years.
In the first 9 months the group repaid long-term bank loans in the total
amount of MEEK 5,7 (MEUR 0,36) and made capital lease payments in the total
amount of MEEK 1,7 (MEUR 0,11).
