Baltika FINANCIAL RESULTS 07/24/2002
BALTIKA'S RESULTS FOR 6M 2002
NOTES ON CONSOLIDATED ECONOMIC RESULTS OF AS BALTIKA FOR THE
FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 2002
The unaudited consolidated net sales of Baltika in the first
six months of 2002 were EEK 232.6m (EUR 14.8m) and the net
profit was EEK 9.6m (EUR 0.61m). Compared to the same period
of 2001, the net sales increased by 25.8% (EEK 47.5m; EUR
3.4m) and the net profit by 8.5% (EEK 0.8m; EUR 0.05m). The
net sales within the first six months of 2001 were EEK
184.1m and the net profit was EEK 8.8m. The net sales of the
2nd quarter were EEK 107.3m - an increase of 43.4% (EEK
32.5m) compared with the 2nd quarter of the previous year.
The net profit of the 2nd quarter was EEK 1.6m, which was by
19.8% less (EEK 0.4m) than in the previous year.
The share of Baltika's own shops (brand and factory shops)
in the retail sales of the Baltika Group increased to 49%,
constituting EEK 112.5m (EUR 7.19m). The wholesales
comprised EEK 90.25m (EUR 5.77m) and the sales of
subcontracted products were EEK 26.13m (EUR 1.67m). Compared
to the same period of the previous year, the sales of our
own products and goods increased by 48% up to EEK 204.5m
(EUR 13.07m), while the sales of subcontracted products
downsized by 42%. The changes are related to the activities
arising from the strategy of the company. As of the end of
June, Baltika Group had operable retail space in seven
countries with a total area of 7714m2, of which the sales
space of own shops accounted for 5484m2 (a total of 40
shops). Simultaneously with the opening of new shops,
preparations were underway to implement a new retail concept
of BG and to introduce a new retail brand.
The sales efficiency has also increased in line with the
increment of new retail outlets (sales/m2). Average sales
per m2 have increased by 29% compared to the six months of
the previous year.
Significant changes have occurred in the cost structure of
Baltika Group, attributable to the increment of new stores;
lease and labour costs have increased the most. Also, in
2002 higher than usual costs can be explained by the
development and implementation of a new retail concept by
September this year. The operating costs and labour costs of
the company increased, compared to the same period of the
previous year, by 43% and 23%, respectively. The increase
in the sales of Baltika's own products has also increased
the percentage of goods and material related costs in the
structure of costs.
The consolidated balance sheet total of Baltika was EEK
351.3m (EUR 22.5m) as of the end of June; the growth
compared to the beginning of the year was EEK 53.9m (EUR
3.4m), i.e. +18%. The inventories of goods, semi-finished
goods and basic materials increased, compared to the
beginning of the year, by EEK 35.3m (EUR 2.3m) up to EEK
166.4m (EUR 10.6m). Such an increase is mainly attributable
to the increment of retail premises and to the ongoing
preparations for the autumn season.
During the six months, investments into noncurrent physical
assets amounted to EEK 29m (EUR 1.9m).
Towards the end of May, a 75% subsidiary, SIA Baltika
Latvija, was founded in Latvia. Its share capital is 131,200
LVL and it will start operations with three stores in
August.
The following methods of financing have been used: overdraft
facilities, proceeds from the issue of bonds, a new bank
loan for the completion of the Ahtme sewing factory and the
sale and lease-back of equipment.
