Pärnu, 2013-08-23 15:15 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
SECOND QUARTER IN SHORT
Consolidated net sales of the second quarter of 2013 was 4.7 mil. euros,
representing a 3% decrease on the second quarter compared to the same period in
2012. At the same time, consolidated EBITDA amounted to 123 thousand euros (364
thousand euros in Q2 2012).
The sales in Skano Pärnu fibreboard factory (incl. Isotex) was 1.7 mil. euros,
decreased as compared to the respective period last year by 5%, the operating
loss of the second quarter was 76 thousand euros compared with the operating
profit 36 thousand euros last year.
The turnover of Skano Püssi fibreboard factory was 889 thousand euros,
representing 25% increase in the second quarter compared to the same period in
2012. Operating loss amounted to 158 thousand euros compared with the operating
loss 203 thousand euros last year. Due to weak demand Püssi factory was
operating at approximately of 70-80% of its capacity in the second quarter of
2013.
Although sales were on the same level compare to the second quarter of 2012 the
down pressure to sales was felt due to weak economic situation in Europe.
Profitability of Fibreboard division was affected by very fragmented production
portfolio where high number of small size orders caused low production
efficiency and high COGS. The priority of the management of the company is
continuously to ensure the sales of the production of both factories in order
to guarantee the maximum production capacity and efforts are taken in this
direction on an on-going basis.
The turnover of Skano furniture factory in Pärnu decreased in the second
quarter by 12% and amounted to 1 831 thousand euros. The operating profit of
the second quarter was 133 thousand euros as in 2012 the operating profit of
the same period was 238 thousand euros. Sales in the second quarter of 2013
decreased in all regions (except for sales to the subsidiary) due to weak
demand of foreign markets. Sales dropped the most in Finland, by 29% compared
to the same period in 2012. The company is seeking new sale's possibilities in
the current markets but going into totally new markets is a substantial
direction for us.
The turnover of Skano furniture retail chain increased 9% as compared to the
same period last year being 619 thousand euros, operating loss was 3 thousand
euros compared with the sales 569 thousand and operating profit 63 thousand
euros in the second quarter of 2012. Current year operating loss contains also
loss from currency exchange rate of hryvnia 14 thousand euros (profit from
currency exchange rate 50 thousand euros in the same period of 2012). Retail
sale increased in Estonia and Lithuania but decreased in Latvia and dropped in
large extent in Ukraine (-38%). The sales of Skano Group AS own furniture still
forms a considerable part of the retail sale and it enables the furniture
factory to operate much more profitably than it would be possible without its
own retail chain.

SKANO FIBREBOARD
The net sales of Skano Fibreboard in the second quarter of 2013 amounted to
2.63 mil. euros and operating loss to 234 thousand euros. In the same period
last year, the turnover of the division totaled to 2.62 mil. euros and the
operating loss from main activities 167 thousand euros. Sales have dropped in
all regions except for Russia, Sweden and Finland due to weak economic
situation in Europe. In spite of deteriorated economic situation company
managed to increase sales in Finland due to a new distribution partner and a
strategic cooperation agreement. The biggest drop in sales in the second
quarter compare to last year took place in Great Britain and Netherlands, 27%
and 59% respectively. Sales in Russia grew most, 35% respectively.
Profitability was affected by a very fragmented production portfolio where high
number of small size orders caused low production efficiency and high COGS.

The net sales of the Pärnu Fibreboard factory and interior board's line
decreased 5% in the second quarter of 2013 compared to the same quarter of 2012
and amounted to 1.7 mil. euros. Due to fragmented production portfolio the
production efficiency was low in the second quarter.
The turnover of Püssi fibreboard factory amounted to 889 thousand euros growing
25% compared to the same quarter in 2012 and operating loss amounted to 158
thousand euros (turnover 709 thousand euros and operating loss 203 thousand
euros in Q2 2012). Output of Püssi Fibreboard factory grew in the second
quarter but the main challenge is still to secure Püssi Fibreboard factory with
sufficient sales volumes. In the second quarter Püssi factory was operated at
70-80% of its capacity.
It is also important to note that due to high fixed costs, the factory must be,
for a profitable outcome, operated at as high capacity as possible, which shall
ensure a lower average cost of the product.

FORECAST AND DEVELOPMENT
SKANO FIBREBOARD. The main production line of Pärnu Fibreboard factory was
operating at full capacity in July 2013 and is expected to be fully utilized in
the third quarter of 2013 according to the management forecast. Production
lines of Isotex interior finishing boards are operated at a normal capacity.
Püssi Fibreboard factory was also operating at full capacity in July 2013 and
according to the management forecast will continue operating at full power
throughout the third quarter except for 3-weeks collective vacation and yearly
planned maintenance repair in the second half of August. According to the
forecast the sales of Skano Fibreboard in the third quarter will exceed the
sales of last year.
In spite of weak demand of foreign markets and economic situation in Europe we
are optimistic about sales growth for H2 2013, mostly from Russia and Finland.
Russia's sales volumes have been growing steadily over the past years and we
expect this to continue in H2 2013. Decrease of our sales in Finland and in
other regions in the first half was mostly caused by deteriorated economic,
which we don't expect to improve during 2013. Despite of stagnation in Finland
we hope due to a new distribution partner and a strategic cooperation agreement
to increase sales in Finland. We also expect this to help our Pärnu and Püssy
factories to reach higher capacity utilization and as a result of this, expect
the whole production process to become more efficient, lead to lower average
production price and higher sales volumes in H2 2013.
SKANO FURNITURE RETAIL SALES. We expect retail sale in the third quarter of
2013 to exceed slightly the sale of last year primarily due to steady growth in
the Baltics.
SKANO FURNITURE FACTORY. In the third quarter of 2013 we expect small decrease
in sales of the furniture factory compared to the same period in 2012 because
of the deteriorated economic situation in the near region and especially in
Finland. For the second half of 2013 we expect small support from sales to new
markets and namely to Great Britain. Additional sales still won't compensate
the sales shortage from Finland. In addition to Great Britain we also seek for
possibilities to enter into other markets of Western Europe.
SKANO GROUP AS. On the 13th of August at the Extraordinary General Meeting,
according to the restructuring plan, increase of share capital of newly
established subsidiaries Skano Furniture Factory OÃ and Skano Fibreboard OÃ by
non-monetary contribution was approved. The object of the non-monetary
contribution is the set of assets of the fibreboard and furniture production
units. Skano Group AS will transfer the production unites of fibreboard and
furniture into separate subsidiaries. The non-monetary contribution shall be
finalised 01.09.2013 by the latest. Starting from September the main
activities, production of fibreboard and furniture, are operated under separate
subsidiaries, in Skano Fibreboard OÃ and Skano Furniture Factoru OÃ
respectively. Skano Group AS will remain as a holding company.
