Interim Report January-June 2010
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Summary
First half-year
Net turnover decreased by 12% and amounted to SKr 552.2 million (625.4).
The operating result was a loss of SKr 57.2 million (loss 32.6). The
deterioration in the result is largely related to the Romanian business. Geveko
normally reports a loss for the first half of the year for seasonal reasons.
The consolidated result after tax was a loss of SKr 48.4 million (loss 31.0).
The loss per share was SKr 2.85 (loss 2.80).
Second quarter
Net turnover declined by 19% and amounted to SKr 414.1 million (510.2).
The operating result was a profit of SKr 37.3 million (74.9).
The consolidated result after tax was a profit of SKr 26.9 million (55.1).
Important events during the seccond quarter
Rights issue
The SKr 164 million (gross) rights issue carried out during the spring was fully
subscribed, which was announced in a press release. The number of shares in
issue was thereby increased in May 2010 by a total of 12,658,599 to a total of
16,878,132. The issue has strengthened Geveko's financial position and improved
its flexibility, which will make the company better placed to seize new business
opportunities.
New MD and CEO
Stefan Tilk, M.Sc. in Engineering Physics from Chalmers Institute of Technology,
who is currently head of Region Africa & Middle East within Volvo Trucks, has
been appointed MD and CEO of AB Geveko. He will take up his appointment on 1
September 2010.
New CFO
Göran Eklund, currently CFO within Lear Corporation Sweden AB, has been
appointed Chief Financial Officer in the Geveko Group. He will take up his
position on 16 August 2010.
Significant events after the end of the reporting period
As one aspect of the implementation of a new factory structure, whereby the
number of production units is to be halved, the factory property in Moss,
Norway, has been sold for a small capital gain. The transaction will be taken
into the interim report for the third quarter.
Forecast for full year
Given that the road-marking market in Europe as a whole is expected to remain
weak in 2010 it is estimated that Geveko's turnover will be lower than it was in
2009, when it amounted to SKr 1,435 million. An operating loss is expected to be
incurred, albeit a smaller one than last year's when it amounted to SKr 40
million.
