SEGMENT-BASED REPORTING

The Face (Telecom) corporate transaction was completed on 30 November 2010, and Cencorp’s reporting structure was altered as of 1 December 2010. The Face (Telecom) business result and balance sheet were consolidated in Cencorp’s consolidated figures starting on 1 December 2010, and Cencorp’s reporting has been based on two business segments since 2010. The business segments are Laser and Automation Applications, and Special Components. The Laser and Automation Applications segment comprises Cencorp’s former business and the Special Components segment the business acquired through the Face transaction.

 

PRESIDENT AND CEO MATS ERIKSSON

“A good market situation and our own sales efforts increased Cencorp Group’s net sales substantially during the first quarter of the year. We managed to increase the sales of laser and automation applications. Our net sales were also increased by the integration of the Face business into Cencorp.

 

The impacts of the earthquake and subsequent tsunami in Japan on the electronics industry have delayed some of our component deliveries, but these events have had no significant impact on our operations so far. Studies to find replacement components are underway. 

 

Despite the increase in net sales, our profitability weakened clearly. Particularly in the Special Components segment, net sales development and operating profit were weakened by the dependence on a few major customer projects with unfavorable sales development. In addition to that, the Chinese New Year and the piling up of stocks at the turn of the year substantially slowed down demand for Cencorp’s components in Asia, particularly in the mobile phone sector. Demand declined faster than expected especially for components in the high-end price category. As a result of the rapid decline in sales volumes, we were not able to reduce our fixed costs to correspond to our previous volumes, which further weighed down our profitability.

 

The poor profitability of the Special Components segment is unacceptable, and we are currently increasing the efficiency of its operations and mapping out focus areas for the segment to identify the product groups with the best growth and profitability prospects.

 

The operating result of the Laser and Automation Applications segment remained at last year’s level. In this segment, delivery times for projects are long, at about 3–6 months, and the contracts signed at the beginning of the year for new, better margin deliveries are expected to significantly improve the segment’s profitability during the remainder of the year. Due to the segment’s seasonal nature, the profitability of Special Components is also expected to improve as the year goes on. Demand for special components was already at its normal level at the end of the first quarter.”

 

FINANCIAL DEVELOPMENT IN JANUARY–MARCH 2011

 

Operating environment

Cencorp operates in industries applying electronics and energy technology. Its main geographical market areas are Europe, North America, South America and Asia. The global electronics industry, including the manufacture of mobile phones, is mostly concentrated in Asia, the domestic market area for the special components manufactured by Cencorp.

 

Demand for laser and automation applications continued to increase during the first quarter of the year, and the increase is expected to continue as the rallying economy results in investments being started up. Rising labor costs, especially in China, are also contributing to the increasing need for production process automation and thus demand for automation products. Cencorp views the energy industry, and renewable energy applications in particular, as a new interesting market.

 

Demand for special components remained normal, even though the seasonal character of the business generally slows down demand during the first quarter of the year. The outlook is also bright for special components, as markets develop in line with the general economic situation, and with the telecommunications industry in particular. The growth outlook for other markets important for Cencorp, such as RFID transmitters and receivers and flexible circuits, is also positive.

 

Net sales and result

Net sales increased by 200 percent to EUR 5.7 million (EUR 1.9 million). The increase in net sales was due to the integration of the Face (Telecom) business into Cencorp and growing demand for laser automation and other automation equipment.

 

The operating result was EUR -2.3 million (EUR -0.9 million). The Group’s operating result was particularly weighed down by the poor profitability of the Special Components segment. The operating result of the Laser and Automation Applications segment remained at last year’s level.

 

The Group’s result before taxes amounted to EUR -3.0 million (EUR -0.8 million). The result for the reporting period was EUR -3.0 million (EUR -0.8 million).

 

Earnings per share were EUR -0.01 (EUR -0.01) and diluted earnings per share EUR -0.01 (EUR -0.01).

 

Significant orders received during the reporting period

In January, Cencorp announced that it had signed an agreement on the delivery of a production line to a European company operating in the electronics industry. The value of the deal is approximately EUR 0.6 million. In March, Cencorp announced that it had signed an agreement on the delivery of another production line to the same company. The value of this deal is also approximately EUR 0.6 million.

 

In February, Cencorp announced that it had signed an agreement on the delivery of odd-form assembly machinery to a European company operating in the electronics industry. The value of the deal is over EUR 1.7 million and the machinery will be delivered during the spring and early summer.

 

Financing

Cash flow from business operations before investments was EUR 1.5 million (EUR
-0.6 million). Trade receivables at the end of the reporting period were EUR 5.8 million (EUR 2.0 million). Net financial items amounted to EUR 0.7 (EUR 0.1 million of net financial income).

 

The equity ratio at the end of March stood at 54.1 (18.3) percent.

Equity per share was EUR 0.06 (EUR 0.01). At the end of the reporting period, the Group’s liquid assets totaled EUR 3.3 (0.2) million, and unused export credit limits and factoring loans amounted to EUR 1.5 million.

 

The rapid increase in net sales will tighten the working capital situation in the second quarter. According to the Board’s view, improved operative cash flow will remedy the situation during the remainder of the year.

 

In the share issue organized in March 2011, Cencorp’s biggest shareholder Savcor Group converted all of its liabilities maturing during the next 12 months into shares in the Company. Cencorp’s Board of Directors expects its financing resources to be sufficient to meet the financing needs during the next 12 months.

 

Product development

The Group’s product development expenses in January–March amounted to EUR 0.5 (0.2) million or 8.0 (12.4) percent of net sales.

 

Investments

Investments in January–March amounted to EUR 0.5 (0.1) million. The largest investments were EUR 0.2 million in machinery and equipment and EUR 0.1 million in development costs.

 

Segment information

Laser and Automation Applications

The Laser and Automation Applications segment’s net sales increased by 75 percent to EUR 3.4 million (EUR 1.9 million) during the first quarter of the year. The increase in net sales was due to the growing demand for laser automation and other automation equipment as a result of the upswing in the economic cycle as well as the boosting of our own sales efforts and the significant strengthening of the sales organization. The segment accounted for 58 percent of the Group’s net sales. 

 

The operating result of the Laser and Automation Applications segment in the first quarter of the year was EUR -0.9 (-0.9) million. Due to the project nature of the business, most of the new deals made at the end of the last year and in the beginning of this year will only be recognized as revenues in the subsequent quarters, which is expected to significantly improve the segment’s profitability.

 

Special Components

The Face (Telecom) business result and balance sheet have been consolidated in Cencorp’s consolidated figures starting on 1 December 2010. Net sales of the Special Components segment in the first quarter of the year were EUR 2.4 million. The segment accounted for 42 percent of the Group’s net sales. The operating result totaled EUR -1.4 million.

 

Net sales development and profitability were weakened by, among other things, the dependence on a few major customer projects with unfavorable sales development. In addition, sales in this segment are focused on Asia, where the Chinese New Year and the piling up of stocks at the turn of the year slowed down demand more than expected, particularly for components in the high-end price category. Fixed costs could not be adapted to the rapid decline in demand at the Chinese plants, which further weakened profitability.

 

Due to the seasonal nature of the business, the first quarter of the year is usually the quietest period in the sales of Cencorp’s special components. Demand picked up at the end of the quarter and the same development is expected to continue as the year goes on. Other measures have also been implemented to improve the efficiency of the operations and the profitability of the Special Components segment. These include, among other things, mapping out growing and profitable product groups, cutting fixed costs and further optimizing production between plants.

 

PERSONNEL

During January–March, the Group employed an average of 354 (77) people, 63 of whom worked in Finland, 279 in China and 12 in other countries. During the reporting period, salaries and fees totaled EUR 1.7 (1.0) million.

 

Päivi Lehtovaara was appointed the Group’s CFO and Management Team member as of 1 March 2011. The former CFO Iikka Savisalo continues as a member of Cencorp’s Board of Directors. Simo Hietaniemi, Vice President, Project Business, will leave the Company on 31 July 2011. Hietaniemi resigned from Cencorp’s Management Team, effective 1 February 2011. The recruitment process for a new person is underway.

RISK MANAGEMENT, RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Cencorp’s Board of Directors is responsible for the appropriate control of the Company’s accounts and finances. The Board is responsible for internal control, while the President and CEO handles the practical arrangement and monitors the efficiency of internal control. Business management and control are taken care of using a Group-wide reporting and forecasting system.

 

The purpose of risk management is to ensure that any significant business risks are identified and monitored appropriately. The Company’s business and financial risks are managed centrally by the Group’s financial department, and reports on risks are presented to the Board of Directors as necessary.

 

Due to the small size of the company and the limited scope of its business operations, Cencorp does not have an internal auditing organization or an audit committee.

 

As it is difficult to make forecasts in an industry that is dependent on economic cycles, the biggest risks are related to fluctuations in the demand for products and to the adjustment of operations to meet demand.

 

In terms of profitability, the most essential risks are related to the achievement of a sufficient invoicing volume in both business segments and the success achieved with the programs underway at Cencorp to improve profitability, such as improvements in productivity and business flexibility through outsourcing production.

 

In terms of operations, the biggest risks are related to outsourcing in-house equipment production to contract manufacturers, in particular to whether the production chain efficiency targets are achieved as planned.

 

The Company’s financing and sufficiency of working capital involve risks which have been dealt with point concerning financing in this interim report.

 

Other risks connected to Cencorp have been presented in more detail in the Annual Report for 2010 and in the base prospectus and its securities notes published on 25 October 2010.

 

OUTLOOK FOR 2011

Cencorp maintains its market prospects unchanged as follows: Cencorp expects net sales for 2011 to amount to approximately EUR 35–39 million, provided that no essential change takes place in the current economic landscape. The 12-month result from operations is expected to improve from 2010. 

 

Cencorp’s order book at the end of March stood at around EUR 7.4 (1.5) million and at around EUR 6.5 million on the publishing date of this interim report.

 

Cencorp’s goal is to grow through acquisitions and mergers based on strategic choices, new products and new customer relationships, and by licensing products and technologies to complement the company’s own offering.

 

Alongside the electronics industry, Cencorp will actively target new emerging markets, such as energy production and energy supply applications for mobile equipment. In these selected areas, the company seeks a leading position as a supplier of special technology in the long term.
