The market situation

Investments in the minerals industry made a strong comeback in the second quarter of 2010, where a number of contracts within gold, copper, coal and phosphate became effective.

So far, the propensity to invest has not been significantly affected by higher mine taxes in Australia, unrest in the eurozone or increasing concern over the growth in China. The list of potential sales opportunities in Minerals remains long, and the company is engaged in substantive negotiations with a number of customers. It is expected that the minerals industry's investments will develop positively over the coming years, albeit with quarterly fluctuations in the order intake.

In 2010, the global market for new contracted cement kiln capacity (exclusive of China) is still expected to be around 50m tonnes per year (2009: 45m tonnes per year), based on local demand for new capacity in particular in India, Indonesia, South America and Africa.

Developments in the order intake and order backlog

System solutions in Minerals and Operation and Maintenance contracts (O&M) in Cement significantly increase the order intake

The total order intake amounted to DKK 12,716m in the first half of 2010, representing an 127% increase on the same period last year (first half of 2009: DKK 5,611m). The significant increase is due to the low comparative basis in the first half of 2009 and to the fact that the demand for system solutions for the minerals industry has made a strong return in the second quarter of 2010 as well as to the growing interest in operation and maintenance contracts in Cement.

The order backlog totalled DKK 26,621m at the end of the first half of 2010 (end of 2009: DKK 21,194m). The order backlog has increased by 26% since the turn of the year, of which 6% is due to changed foreign exchange rates.

The second quarter of 2010 saw positive developments in orders which have been put on hold as a result of the financial crisis. Orders on hold have thus to date decreased approximately DKK 1bn to approximately DKK 1.5bn (end of the first quarter of 2010: approximately DKK 2.5bn) which is primarily due to the fact that customers' financing arrangements have in some cases fallen into place.

Particularly the order intake in Customer Services developed positively in the first half of 2010 and accounted for 42% of the total order intake in Cement and Minerals. This is mainly due to the signing of four operation and maintenance contracts (O&M) in Cement in the first half of 2010. The growing interest in signing O&M contracts is highly attributable to the documented results achieved from contracts signed in previous years. In the second quarter, for the first time, a contract for the provision of equipment for a full-scale cement plant and an operation and maintenance contract were concurrently signed with the same customer. The customer is the Tunisian-owned Carthage Cement.

Income statement developments

Lower revenue, but higher contribution ratio

In the first half of 2010, revenue amounted to DKK 9,413m, representing a 13% decrease on the same period last year (first half of 2009: DKK 10,766m). The lower revenue is, as expected, a consequence of the lower order backlog at the beginning of the year plus deferred revenue.

Revenue in Cement declined 20% on the same period the year before, whilst declining 6% in Minerals and increasing 13% in Cembrit. Overall, the foreign exchange effect of translating into DKK has had a 4% positive impact on revenue compared to the first half of 2009.

The gross profit amounted to DKK 2,392m in the first half of 2010 (first half of 2009: DKK 2,481m), representing a contribution ratio of 25.4% (first half of 2009: 23.0%). The higher contribution ratio compared to last year mainly reflects improved order processing and completion of projects and changes in product mix.

The first half of 2010 saw total investments in research and development of DKK 110m (first half of 2009: DKK 197m), representing 1.2% of the revenue (first half of 2009: 1.8%). In addition, project financed development is taking place in cooperation with customers. The decrease compared to the previous year is due to deferment of research and development costs.

Sales, distribution and administrative costs, etc. in the first half of 2010 amounted to DKK 1,345m (first half of 2009: DKK 1,276m) representing 14.3% of the revenue (first half of 2009: 11.9%). Adjusted for exchange rates and acquisitions, sales, distribution and administrative costs are on a par with last year. Higher sales and order activity have resulted in higher sales and distribution costs right now, but will not generate revenue and earnings until at a later stage since delivery times extend up to 2 years.

In the second quarter Excel Foundry & Machine, Inc. and FLSmidth-Excel, LLC reached a settlement in a dispute over IP rights with Metso Minerals Inc. The companies deny any wrongdoing, but have decided to reach a settlement at a value of USD 25m. The major part of the settlement was charged to the 2009 financial statements under sales, distribution and administrative costs in Minerals and the balance of the settlement amount and the costs of the settlement were charged to the second quarter of 2010.

Earnings before special non-recurring items, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) amounted to DKK 1,047m (first half of 2009: DKK 1,205m), corresponding to an EBITDA ratio of 11.1% (first half of 2009: 11.2%).

Total depreciation, amortisation and write-downs amounted to DKK 210m in the first half of 2010 (first half of 2009: DKK 186m).

Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) amounted to DKK 837m in the first half of 2010 (first half of 2009: DKK 1,022m) which represents an EBIT ratio of 8.9% (first half of 2009: 9.5%). The lower EBIT ratio is notably attributable to lower revenue and hence lower operational gearing. In the second quarter alone, the EBIT ratio was 9.7% which is on a par with last year (second quarter of 2009: 9.8%).

The total effect of purchase price allocations regarding GL&V Process (including depreciation, amortisation, write-downs and special non-recurring items) amounted to DKK -44m in the first half of 2010 (first half of 2009: DKK -49m). Adjusted for these purchase price allocations, the EBIT ratio was 9.4% in the first half of 2010 (first half of 2009: 9.9%).

Net financial costs amounted to DKK 127m in the first half of 2010 (first half of 2009: DKK 34m). The increase compared to the previous year is mainly due to unrealised foreign exchange rate adjustments.

Earnings before tax (EBT) amounted to DKK 710m (first half of 2009: DKK 988m), corresponding to an EBT ratio of 7.5% (first half of 2009: 9.2%).

Tax for the period amounted to DKK 213m (first half of 2009: DKK 73m, including income recognition of a DKK 230m tax asset due to the successful outcome of a tax dispute). The effective tax rate in the first half was 30% (first half of 2009: 30% exclusive of recognised tax asset).

The profit for the period amounted to DKK 491m (first half of 2009: DKK 904m), corresponding to earnings per share (diluted) of DKK 9.3 (first half of 2009: DKK 17.3).

Balance sheet developments

The balance sheet total amounted to DKK 23,126m at the end of the first half of 2010 (end of 2009: DKK 21,902m). The consolidated equity at the end of the first half of 2010 amounted to DKK 7,541m (end of 2009: DKK 6,627m) corresponding to an equity ratio of 33% (end of 2009: 30%). In the first half of 2010, the return on equity (on an annual basis) amounted to 14% (first half of 2009: 33%).

Working capital

The working capital amounted to DKK 159m at the end of the first half of 2010, representing a DKK 138m increase since the turn of the year (end of 2009: DKK 21m). The increase is primarily attributable to changed foreign exchange rates.

Positive cash flow from operating activities

Cash flow from operating activities amounted to DKK 736m in the first half of 2010 (first half of 2009: DKK 608m). Cash flow is as previously mentioned negatively impacted by a USD 25m settlement amount and an increase in the working capital. Cash flow from investing activities amounted to DKK -163m (first half of 2009: DKK -219m).

For the year as a whole, total investments exclusive of acquisitions are now expected to amount to DKK 600m as against the previous projection of DKK 400m due to investments in regional service centres and spare parts inventories and expansion of the production facilities in India and China.

Cash flow from operating and investing activities totalled DKK 573m in the first half of 2010, including DKK 587m from continuing activities and DKK -14m from discontinued activities (first half of 2009: DKK 389m including DKK 361m from continuing activities and DKK 28m from discontinued activities).

Segment information

Cement

The total order intake in Cement amounted to DKK 6,180m in the first half of 2010, up 133% on the same period last year (first half of 2009: DKK 2,655m).

The order intake in Customer Services amounted to DKK 3,751m in the first half of 2010, which is 207% higher than in the same period last year (first half of 2009: DKK 1,220m). This development primarily reflects the awarding of three five-year operation and maintenance contracts in Angola, Tunisia and Egypt. In addition, a major upgrading contract in Uruguay was received in the second quarter.

The order backlog has increased 19% since the turn of the year and amounted to DKK 15,006m at the end of the first half of 2010 (end of 2009: DKK 12,568m).

Total revenue in Cement amounted to DKK 4,800m in the first half of 2010, which is 20% lower than the same period last year (first half of 2009: DKK 6,031m), reflecting as expected a lower order backlog at the beginning of the year and deferred revenue.

The revenue in Customer Services amounted to DKK 1,419m in the first half of 2010, representing a 6% decrease on the same period last year (first half of 2009: DKK 1,516m).

The EBIT result in the first half of 2010 amounted to DKK 502m (first half of 2009: DKK 679m). The first half of 2010 saw an EBIT ratio of 10.5% (first half of 2009: 11.3%), which is primarily due to lower revenue and hence lower operational gearing. In the second quarter alone, the EBIT ratio was 11.2% which is on a par with last year (second quarter of 2009: 11.3%).

Overall, the foreign exchange effect of translating into DKK has had a 1% positive impact on revenue in Cement compared to the first half of 2009.

Minerals

The total order intake in Minerals in the first half of 2010 was DKK 6,579m (first half of 2009: DKK 3,017m), which represents an 118% increase compared to the same period last year.

In Customer Services, the order intake in the first half of 2010 amounted to DKK 1,622m, representing an 51% increase on the same period last year (first half of 2009: DKK 1,077m).

The order backlog amounted to DKK 11,688m at the end of the first half of 2010, corresponding to an 34% increase since the turn of the year (end of 2009: DKK 8,712m). During the first half of 2010, major Minerals orders were received in North and South America, the Middle East, India and Russia. The orders mainly include process solutions for the extraction and handling of gold, copper, phosphate and coal.

The total revenue in Minerals amounted to DKK 4,019m in the first half of 2010, representing a 6% decrease on the same period last year (first half 2009 DKK 4,298m). The decline in revenue compared to the same period last year reflects, as expected, the lower order backlog at the beginning of the year.

The revenue in Customer Services amounted to DKK 1,437m in the first half of 2010, representing an 15% increase on the same period last year (first half 2009: DKK 1,251m), which fulfils our objective and illustrates the general increase in activity in the minerals industry.

The EBIT result amounted to DKK 345m in the first half of 2010 (first half 2009: DKK 358m), corresponding to an EBIT ratio of 8.6% (first half of 2009: 8.3%). The EBIT ratio increased due to improved order processing and changes in product mix, which has resulted in a higher contribution ratio. Meanwhile, sales, distribution and administrative costs increased due to the developments in foreign exchange rates, higher sales activity and charging of the balance of the settlement of IP dispute amount mentioned previously.

Net of purchase price allocations, the EBIT ratio increased to 9.7% from 9.5% in the same period the year before. In the second quarter alone, the EBIT ratio exclusive of purchase price allocations was 10.1% (second quarter of 2009: 9.0%).

Overall, the foreign exchange effect of translating into DKK has had a 8% positive impact on revenue in Minerals compared to the first half of 2009.

Cembrit

In the first half of 2010, Cembrit achieved a revenue of DKK 630m which is 13% higher than last year (first half of 2009: DKK 560m.). In the second quarter, sales and demand saw positive market trends. The EBIT result amounted to DKK 7m in the first half of 2010 (first half of 2009: DKK -11m) corresponding to an EBIT ratio of 1.1% (first half of 2009: -2.0%). In the second quarter alone, the EBIT ratio was 6.1% (second quarter of 2009: 2.2%).

Overall, the foreign exchange effect of translating into DKK has had a 3% positive impact on revenue in Cembrit compared to the first half of 2009.

Prospects for 2010

  • • The expectations for the cement market in 2010 continue to be around 50m tonnes per year new contracted cement kiln capacity worldwide (exclusive of China) (2009: 45m tonnes per year)
  • • FLSmidth & Co. upgrades its expectations for consolidated revenue in 2010 to DKK 20-21bn (previous expectation DKK 19-20bn) and maintains the expectation for the EBIT ratio in 2010 at 8-9%
  • • The prospects of the individual business areas in 2010 are as follows:
Revenue EBIT ratio
Cement DKK 9.5-10bn (previously DKK 9-10bn) approx. 9%
Minerals DKK 9-9.5bn (previously DKK 8-9bn) approx. 9%
Cembrit DKK approx. 1.2bn (unchanged) approx 2%
  • • The effect of purchase price allocations regarding GL&V Process is expected to amount to approximately DKK -100m in 2010 in the form of amortisation of intangible assets
  • • In 2010, the effective tax rate is expected to be around 30%
  • • Cash flow from investing activities (exclusive of acquisitions) is expected to be around DKK -600m in 2010 (previous expectation DKK -400m). The rising level of investment is due to the decision to invest in regional service centres and spare parts inventories and expansion of the production facilities in India and China.

Long-term growth and earnings prospects

In the long term, it is still expected that particularly urbanisation and industrialisation in developing countries will generate increasing demand for cement and minerals.

Earnings from Minerals and Customer Services in both Cement and Minerals are expected in the coming years to account for a larger share of the Group's total earnings, which will reduce the effect of cyclical market fluctuations in Cement. Against this background, the Group expects its consolidated EBIT ratio to be 10-12% in periods of high activity and 8-9% in periods of low activity. Adjusted for purchase price allocations regarding GL&V Process the consolidated EBIT ratio was 10.6% in 2008, 10.2% in 2009 and 9.4% in the first half of 2010. The effect of purchase price allocations regarding GL&V Process is expected, in future, to be approximately DKK -100m per year. Moving forward, the annual investments (exclusive of acquisitions) are expected to be DKK 300-400m. The long-term sustainable level for addition of new global cement kiln capacity (exclusive of China) is expected to be 60-75m tonnes per year on average.

Capital structure and dividend

It is the FLSmidth Group's aim at all times to have a suitable capital structure in relation to the underlying operating results so that it is always possible to have the necessary and sufficient credit and guarantee facilities to support the commercial operations. The aim is to have an equity ratio of at least 30%. At the end of the first half of 2010, the equity ratio amounted to 33% (end of 2009: 30%).

At the end of the first half of 2010, the Group had net interestbearing receivables of DKK 1,390m (end of 2009: DKK 1,085m). The Group wishes to maintain capital resources to finance future growth and to strengthen the market position through the acquisition of, notably, complementary technologies and services.

On 22 April 2010, ordinary dividend of DKK 5 per share was distributed, representing a total amount of DKK 266m. In addition, an extraordinary dividend of DKK 2 per share was distributed in August 2009. It is FLSmidth's dividend policy to continue to pay out DKK 7 per share every year.

Treasury shares

FLSmidth & Co. A/S's holding of treasury shares at the end of the first half of 2010 totalled 564,692 shares representing 1.1% of the share capital (end of 2009: 628,602 shares) .

Incentive plan

New share option plan (Plan 2010)

The Board of Directors has today decided to allocate 170,700 share options to the management and key staff (58 persons) of which the management will receive 29,700 options. The exercise price is 400 and the exercise period will be 2013-2015. Based on a volatility of 36.76% for the previous year, the Black-Scholes value amounts to DKK 22m and will affect the year's profit by DKK 2m. For further details, see the guidelines adopted at the General Meeting on 17 April 2008.

Other share option plans

At the end of the first half of 2010, there were a total of 581,204 unexercised share options under the Group's incentive plan and the fair value of these was DKK 89m. The fair value is calculated by means of a Black-Scholes model based on a current share price of 396.5, and a volatility of 37.44%. The effect of the incentive plan on earnings amounted to DKK 10m in the first half of 2010 (first half of 2009: DKK 10m). Please see the Annual Report for 2009 for further information.

1. Income statement classified by function

It is Group policy to prepare the income statement based on an adapted classification of the costs by function in order to show the Earnings before nonrecurring items, depreciation, amortisation and write-downs (EBITDA). Depreciation, amortisation and write-downs of tangible and intangible assets are therefore separated from the individual functions and presented on separate lines.

The income statement classified by function including allocation of depreciation, amortisation and write-downs appears from the following:

• Continuing activities per share DKK 4.8 8.1 9.4 17.5
• Continuing activities, diluted, per share DKK 4.8 8.1 9.4 17.5

Non-diluted earnings per share regarding discontinued activities amount to DKK 0.1. The effect of purchase price allocations regarding GL&V Process before tax amounts to DKK 44m in the first half of 2010. After tax, this amounts to DKK 31m and the effect on EPS per share is consequently DKK 0.6.

3. Development in contingent assets and liabilities

Contingent liabilities at 30 June 2010 amounted to DKK 7.4bn (31 December 2009 DKK 7.0bn), which includes performance bonds and payment guarantees at DKK 7.0bn (31 December 2009 DKK 6.8bn).

6. Accounting policies and Management estimates and assessments

Accounting policies

The Interim Report of the Group for the first half of 2010 is presented in accordance with IAS 34 "Presentation of financial statements" as approved by the EU and additional Danish disclosure requirements regarding interim reporting by listed companies as fixed by NASDAQ OMX Copenhagen ("OMX"). Apart from the below amendments, the accounting policies are unchanged from those adopted in the 2009 Annual Report. Reference is made to note 37 page 88 in the 2009 Annual Report for further details.

With effect from 1 January 2010, the Group has adopted the changes to IFRS 2 "Share-based payment", the changes to IFRS 3 "Business combinations", the changes to IAS 27 "Consolidated and separate financial statements" and parts of "Improvements to IFRSs April 2009". Apart from the adoption of IFRS 3 "Business combinations" the adoption of the new and changed standards and interpretations has not affected recognition and measurement.

The changed IFRS 3 "Business combinations" means that costs of purchase and changes to contingent purchase considerations on acquisitions must be recognised direct in the income statement. Hitherto, it has been Group accounting policy to include costs of purchase in the cost of the business acquired, whereas contingent considerations were included in the cost of the business combination if the adjustment was likely to take place and it could be measured reliably. Subsequent adjustments to the contingent consideration were made in the cost of the business combination. In agreement with the provisions for coming into force the changed standard has been adopted with forward effect for business combinations where the date of acquisition is 1 January 2010 or later. In the first half of 2010, the Group has not made any business combinations, and the change has therefore had no impact on the financial statements for the first half of 2010.

Estimates and assessments by Management

When preparing the Interim Report in accordance with the Group's accounting policies, it is necessary that the Management makes estimates and lays down assumptions that affect the recognised assets and liabilities, including the disclosures made regarding contingent assets and liabilities.

Management bases their estimates on historical experience and other assumptions considered relevant at the time in question. These estimates and assumptions form the basis of the recognised carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the derived effects on the income statement. The actual results may deviate.

Reference is made to note 1 page 67 in the 2009 Annual Report for further details regarding the items for which estimates and assessments by Management are primarily applicable when presenting the consolidated financial statements.
