Viisnurk FINANCIAL RESULTS 08/30/2004
FINANCIAL RESULTS, 6 MONTHS 2004
The net sales of Viisnurk AS for the six months of 2004 were 195 MEEK
(12.5 MEUR) and the net profit 0.6 MEEK (36 thousand euros). In the same
period last year, the net sales of the company totalled 188.6 MEEK (12.1
MEUR) and the net profit 3.2 MEEK (0.2 MEUR). Compared to the same period
last year, the turnover of the company has increased by 3.4%. In Q2 of the
accounting period the company suffered a loss of 0.7 MEEK (0.04 MEUR) with
the net sales of 89.6 MEEK (5.7 MEUR).
The volume of total assets of Viisnurk as of 30.06.2004 was 257.6 MEEK
(16.5 MEUR), which was 8.3% less than at the beginning of the year.
Compared to the beginning of the year the obligations of the company have
decreased by 24 MEEK (1.5 MEUR). Viisnurk’s debt to equity ratio was 71%
at the end of H1 (73.6% at the beginning of the year).
Divisional Review
The net sales of the Furniture Division of Viisnurk AS for the six months
were 88.8 MEEK (5.7 MEUR) and its economic activity resulted in 2.4 MEEK
(0.16 MEUR) profit. The net sales of the Furniture Division for the six
months in 2003 were 84 MEEK (5.4 MEUR) and the profit 9.3 MEEK (0.59
MEUR).
The product portfolio of the Furniture Division continued to be reformed
in Q2, at the end of which the production of unprofitable product lines
would be terminated and new product lines would be prepared for
presentation in Barntrup, Germany on the largest furniture fair for
specialist in September this year. In addition to launching new products,
it is planned to complete the take-over of the activities of sales
organisation Skano AG, which operates in Switzerland, and the client
servicing direct from Pärnu.
The aim of product portfolio optimisation, development of own products and
the use of new sales channels is to create preconditions for maintaining
the sales and production volumes, increasing the profitability of the
factory and growing profits for the following periods.
The economic activities of the Sports Goods Division in H1 resulted in the
net sales of 24.4 MEEK (1.6 MEUR) and the loss of 5.2 MEEK (0.33 MEUR). In
the same period last year, the turnover of the division was 22.2 MEEK (1.4
MEUR) and the loss 3.8 MEEK (0.24 MEUR).
On 31 May the supervisory and management boards of Viisnurk passed the
decision to gradually close down the Sports Goods Division. As of 30
August 2004, the production of hockey sticks and activities of
intermediate trade are finished and 51 employees are dismissed. The
closure of entire division will take place at the end of October after
fulfilling the contracts concluded for the current year. During Q2, the
division worked with maximum capacity, the stability of production
improved considerably and the results were better than planned. This has
created good possibilities for due fulfilment of all client obligations,
and for minimising the division’s loss for the period leading to the
closing. Negotiations on the sale of the division are also ongoing.
The net sales of the Building Material Division for the six months were 49
MEEK (3.1 MEUR) and the profit 9.1 MEEK (0.58 MEUR). In the same period
last year, the turnover of the division was 50 MEEK (3.2 MEUR) and the
profit 12.1 MEEK (0.77 MEUR). The H1 results of the Building Material
Division were influenced by the collective holiday in June and therefore
the results of the economic activity for the six month are not adequately
comparable to the same period the year before. On previous occasions the
collective holiday, which has traditionally had an unprofitable effect on
the results of the Building Material Division, has been taken out in July.
The market situation of the division continuous to be favourable and the
results of the division as a whole are considerably better than planned.
We have currently received offers for the Building Material Division from
potential buyers and negotiations on the offer terms and conditions are
ongoing.
The economic activity of the Wood Division of Viisnurk AS, which was
closed down on 16 April, resulted in the loss of 2.4 MEEK (0.15 MEUR) for
the six months’ period. Owing to the closing down costs, the loss in Q2
totalled 2.6 MEEK. The loss of the Wood Division for the first six months
last year, when it was in production for the whole period, was 6.5 MEEK
(0.42 MEUR). The selling process of the division has currently reached its
final phase; we are negotiating the sales-purchase agreement with the
buyer.
For the six months period, the company has earned the business profit of
4.4 MEEK (0.28 MEUR) from the sale of assets not related to production (in
Q2, 1.3 MEEK/0.08 MEUR).
