Ville Taipale, CEO:

"The high inflation and increased interest rates that started last year impacted negatively also in the fourth quarter this year. Economic development in the Nordic countries was modest in 2023, which was also reflected as cautiosness in Martela's customers' purchasing decisions. However, the impact of the challenging market situation on Martela's business was clearly more moderate than in the first half of the year. Our net sales decreased slightly in the fourth quarter to EUR 26.4 million, which was 2.8% lower than in the same period last year. This achievement can be described as good in a difficult market situation. Our net sales in January-December totalled EUR 94.4 million, which was 11.5% lower than in the last year.

The Group's new orders decreased slightly in the fourth quarter compared to the corresponding period of the previous year. In the fourth quarter, orders increased in "Others" and decreased in Finland, in Sweden and in Norway.

Our comparable operating result increased clearly in the fourth quarter compared to the same period last year and was EUR 1.5 million (0.2). The strengthening of comparable operating result was mainly due to improved productivity and operational efficiency, which allowed us to compensate for the small decrease in net sales. Comparable operating result for January-December was EUR -2.4 million (1.0). The result for the full year period was burdened particularly by the low level of net sales in the first half of the year. In addition, profitability in the first half of the year has been burdened by investments in development projects, that support long-term growth.

We have reacted to the challenging market situation by adjusting our cost level during the second half of the year. The efficiency improvements have mainly been implemented through temporary lay-off procedures and other cost-saving as well as productivity improvement measures. It is unclear how long the uncertainty in the market will continue, and we must be able to adjust our cost level to the prevailing conditions also in the future. Therefore, on January 3, 2024, the we announced plans to streamline and to reorganize our operations to mitigate the adverse effects of the market situation and adjust our cost structure to the prevailing circumstances. The reorganisation also aims to improve the service experience of Martela's customers.

Major changes are underway in the ways of working and thus in working environments, which are increasing demand for Martela's products and services. The pandemic accelerated and permanently changed the meaning of the office. Companies are looking for more attractive and diverse working environments, while more and more attention is paid to home office furnishings and ergonomics.

We will continue to lead the way, in collaboration with our customers, in creating the best and more flexible work environments that improve employee experience, efficiency, innovation and lower total cost of ownership.

We respond to our customers' increased demand for flexibility with our "Workplace as a Service concept", which we have continued to develop actively. Interest in the service model has been encouraging and we expect the service model to have a positive impact on the development of our business.

The second half of the year, and especially the Q4 results, clearly showed that with our updated strategy, we are on the right track. This strengthens our position and creates confidence in Martela's future in the current market situation. The entire personnel is committed to the determined implementation of the strategy, and it is a good to continue from the current situation."

Market situation

Economic development in the Nordic countries was modest in 2023, which was also reflected as cautiosness in Martela's customers' purchasing decisions. Market conditions are expected to remain uncertain in 2024 due to inflation and interest rate developments, and the resulting caution. On the other hand, the upward pressure on prices caused by the war in Ukraine and challenges in the availability of raw materials have eased.

However, market uncertainty and simultaneous changes in the way of working is likely to create demand for Martela's change services. Premises will be modified to meet the needs of multi-location hybrid work and investments will be made in their attractiveness.

SHORT-TERM RISKS

The market situation continues to be negatively affected by uncertainty about the development of inflation and interest rates. Due to the project-based nature of the sector, forecasting short-term development is challenging in normal circumstances. This challenge is further accentuated by the increased economic uncertainty.
