Matti Hyytiäinen, President and CEO of Etteplan Oyj, comments on the interim
report:
“During the period under review, the technical design market was extremely
challenging. Demand for our services was on a significantly lower level than
usually due to delays in our customers' investment projects and exceptionally
low demand in some customer industries. With fast actions we reduced design
personnel with temporary lay-offs in Finland and permanent lay-offs in Sweden as
well as cut down other operation costs. Due to these actions we achieved a
positive operating profit.”
Accounting principles
The interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 (Interim
Financial Reporting) and the preparation and accounting policies presented in
the 2008 annual financial statements, but not all requirements of the IAS 34
standard for interim financial reporting have been followed in the accounting.
Business review January-March 2009
In January-March, Etteplan's design assignments continued to be influenced by
the decline in customers' order books. The total volume of assignments declined
during the review period.
Demand for technical design and product information services remained on a
satisfactory level in energy and power transmission sector and in the aerospace
and defence equipment industries. Demand for design services of material
handling equipment remained good. During the review period, demand for plant
engineering design services continued to decline, but decline ceased towards the
end of the review period. Demand for design services among equipment
manufacturers in the forest industry and in automotive industry remained on low
level during the whole period under review. The Group's design capacity was
underutilized during the review period.
Etteplan continued the operation adjustments and saving measures that were
started during the last quarter of 2008 and during the review period, to respond
to the market situation. On top of the implemented and ongoing personnel
reductions, the adjustments included cutting down external services and
operation costs in the whole Group during the review period.
During the period under review, actions to reduce personnel continued in Sweden.
Most of the reductions were due to the decreased number of assignments in
automotive industry. During the last quarter of year 2008, a decision was taken
to reduce the number of personnel by 100 employees. These reductions will take
place during the first half of year 2009.
In January-March, personnel negotiations to reduce the personnel continued in
Finland. During the last quarter of year 2008, the decision was taken to reduce
the number of personnel by 90 employees. During the period under review, new
decisions have been taken to reduce further 90 employees in Finland. The new
personnel reductions have mostly been in form of temporary lay-offs and will
take place during the first half of year 2009.
Revenue
Etteplan's revenue in the first quarter of the year amounted to EUR 33.7 million
(1-3/2008: EUR 40.7 million). Decline in revenue was attributable to the
decrease in our customers' order books and to the weakened Swedish krona. At
comparable exchange rates the revenue for January-March 2009 period was EUR 36.5
million.
Result
The operating profit was EUR 0.2 million (1-3/2008: EUR 3.7 million), or 0.7%
(9.2%) of the revenue. The decline was due to weakened demand of design
services.
Profit for the period before taxes was EUR 0.04 million (1-3/2008: EUR 3.6
million). Taxes amounted to EUR -0.05 million (EUR 1.0 million). Taxes have been
periodized in line with the result for the review period.
Profit for the period was EUR 0.09 million (1-3/2008: EUR 2.6 million). Earnings
per share were EUR 0.00 (EUR 0.13). Equity per share was EUR 1.29 (EUR 1.39).
The return on investment was 2.6% (33.0%).
Financial position and cash flow
Total assets on March 31, 2009, were EUR 79.6 million (December 31, 2008: EUR
78.9 million). Goodwill on the balance sheet was EUR 33.1 million (December 31,
2008: EUR 33.2 million). The Group's cash and cash equivalents stood at EUR 2.3
million (December 31, 2008: EUR 1.9 million). The Group's interest-bearing
liabilities amounted to EUR 23.7 million (December 31, 2008: EUR 16.6 million)
at period end. The equity ratio was 32.1% (December 31, 2008: 34.2%). The cash
flow after investments totalled EUR -6.6 million (1-3/2008: EUR -8.2 million).
Capital expenditures
The Group's gross investments came to EUR 0.2 million (1-3/2008: EUR 8.1
million). During the comparison period in year 2008 the investments consisted
mainly of company acquisitions.
Personnel
The number of the Group's personnel averaged 2,144 (1-3/2008: 2,220) during the
review period and was 2,107 (March 31, 2008: 2,239) at period end. The number of
personnel at the end of the period includes temporarily laid-off employees and
permanently laid-off employees whose obligation to work continues. The number of
employees decreased mainly due to personnel reductions in Sweden. Outside
Finland, the Group employed 1,051 people (March 31, 2008: 1,170) at the end of
the period.
Major events after the review period
After the period under review, Etteplan has commenced reorganising its business
in Sweden. The aim of the reorganisation is to capitalize on the growth
opportunities in the market by setting up new business units to serve Etteplan's
customers globally. A new Transportation business unit focuses on energy
efficiency, emission control and advanced material solutions for aerospace
industry, train, vehicle and material handling sectors. Typical applications are
aeroengines, hybrid and electric cars, on- and off-road vehicles and trains.
As a part of reorganisation Etteplan established a new business unit which
strengthens its design offering for nuclear power plants and nuclear power plant
equipment manufacturers. Etteplan has a long experience in serving nuclear power
plant customers in plant engineering.
Incentive plan for key personnel
The Etteplan Oyj Board of Directors decided on a share-based incentive plan for
key personnel in March 2008. The plan includes three earnings periods: calendar
years 2008, 2009 and 2010. The plan had a target group of 37 people in 2008. The
remuneration paid from the plan corresponds to the value of about 720,000
Etteplan Oyj shares at maximum. The remuneration earned in 2008 will be paid on
April 30, 2009.
Estimate of operating risks and uncertainty factors
Etteplan's financial results are exposed to number of strategic, operational and
financial risks. A detailed risk analysis can be found in Etteplan's annual
report 2008.
External risks
During the period under review, economic development on the whole and
unpredictable changes in customers' order books continued to be a significant
risk. The customer related risks will continue to pose an increased risk for
Etteplan's operations.
Internal risks
Internally Etteplan does not foresee changes in its risk position compared to
previously stated.
The official impairment testing is done on yearly basis in the last quarter of
the year. Etteplan Group´s most significant goodwill are related to the Swedish
operations. Due to the reorganization in Sweden, the current impairment test
shows no reason for goodwill write-down.

Shares
The Etteplan Oyj share (ETT1V) is quoted in the Nordic NASDAQ OMX's Small Cap
market capitalization group in the “Industrials” sector.
The company's share capital on March 31, 2009, was EUR 5,000,000.00, and the
number of shares outstanding was 20,179,414. The company has one series of
shares. All shares confer an equal right to a dividend and the company's funds.
The company held 509,585 of its own shares on March 31, 2009. During the period
under review, the company acquired 10,409 of its own shares and did not dispose
any company-held shares.
Outlook
Based on the development of January-March 2009, Etteplan Oyj expects its
full-year revenue to be under EUR 130 million. The operating profit for year
2009 is expected to decline substantially but to be positive. Potential
acquisitions in 2009 are not included in the estimate.
The weak market situation is still apparent among the forest industry equipment
manufacturers and in the car industry where the number of assignments is on low
level. Our customers' investment projects continue to be delayed in plant
engineering sector. In the energy and power transmission sector and aerospace
and defence equipment industry the demand for technical design and product
information is estimated to continue at a satisfactory level.
