LASSILA & TIKANOJA PLC: FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1 JANUARY – 31 DECEMBER 2015
"The economic recession and challenging market situation slowed down the development of our business throughout the year. Nevertheless, our net sales increased, primarily due to strategically targeted acquisitions. Operating profit excluding non-recurring items decreased slightly from the previous year, mainly due to the weak development of the Facility Services division's result. The development of the Facility Services division's profitability has been substantially below our expectations, and we will continue to implement measures to improve the efficiency of its operations. Our other divisions achieved a good result in 2015, considering the market situation. In addition, our cash flow from operating activities was strong. Economic growth in Finland is expected to remain slow in 2016. In the prevailing economic climate, our focus remains on strengthening our market position and ensuring profitability and cash flow through the development of our business operations and by targeted business acquisitions".
Lassila & Tikanoja's net sales for the final quarter increased by 1.8% year-on-year, to EUR 165.2 million (EUR 162.3 million). Operating profit was EUR 9.7 million (EUR 14.0 million). Operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 11.3 million (EUR 13.2 million), representing 6.8% (8.1%) of net sales. Earnings per share were EUR 0.18 (EUR 0.21).
In the final quarter, net sales grew particularly in Facility Services due to acquisitions. Net sales also grew slightly in Industrial Services. In Environmental Services and Renewable Energy Sources, however, net sales decreased due to lower service demand and the lower prices of secondary raw materials.
The decline in the Group's operating profit excluding non-recurring items was mainly attributable to the weaker result of the Environmental Services division, which was due to the lower volumes of recyclable materials as well as the lower market prices of secondary raw materials. Operating profit excluding nonrecurring items also decreased in other divisions.
The final quarter's operating profit was reduced by restructuring costs of EUR 1.6 million, primarily in Facility Services.
Lassila & Tikanoja's net sales for 2015 increased by 1.0% year-on-year, to EUR 646.3 million (EUR 639.7 million). Operating profit was EUR 49.9 million (EUR 48.5 million). Operating profit excluding nonrecurring items was EUR 52.5 million (EUR 53.8 million), representing 8.1% (8.4%) of net sales. Earnings per share were EUR 0.98 (EUR 0.47).
Net sales grew in Facility Services and Environmental Services, primarily due to acquisitions. The net sales of Industrial Services and Renewable Energy Sources decreased due to lower service demand. Operating profit excluding non-recurring items decreased from the previous year, primarily due to the weak development of the Facility Services division's result. Operating profit excluding non-recurring items also decreased in Industrial Services.

* Breakdown is presented below the division reviews.
** Proposal by the Board of Directors
The division's net sales for the final quarter decreased by 0.9% to EUR 64.2 million (EUR 64.8 million). Operating profit was EUR 7.4 million (EUR 10.8 million) and operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 7.6 million (EUR 9.0 million).
The factors contributing to the division's decreased net sales were the lower demand and price of services produced for municipal waste management companies. The demand for waste management and recycling services also declined in Russia. In the environmental products business, net sales decreased due to the discontinuation of certain products.
The Environmental Services division's operating profit excluding non-recurring items decreased due to the lower volume of recyclable materials at recycling plants and the decreased market prices of secondary raw materials.
The Environmental Services division's net sales for 2015 amounted to EUR 256.5 million (EUR 254.5 million), showing an increase of 0.8%. Operating profit was EUR 35.8 million (EUR 37.3 million) and operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 36.1 million (EUR 35.9 million).
The division's full-year net sales increased primarily due to acquisitions. Net sales decreased in Russia due to lower demand and the depreciation of the rouble. In the environmental products business, net sales decreased due to the discontinuation of certain products.
The division's operating profit excluding non-recurring items was slightly better than in the comparison period. The profitability of the recycling business improved early in the year but, towards the end of the review period, operating profit was decreased by the lower volume of recyclable materials at recycling plants and the decreased market prices of secondary raw materials. The division's profitability was also weighed down by additional maintenance shutdowns in the second quarter at the recycling plants in Turku and Kerava, which resulted in lower waste processing volumes at the two plants.
The division's net sales for the final quarter increased by 0.2% to EUR 20.3 million (EUR 20.3 million). Operating profit was EUR 1.8 million (EUR 1.6 million) and operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 1.8 million (EUR 2.1 million).
The demand for process cleaning services was very strong in the final quarter, which supported the net sales of the division as a whole. Demand also grew year-on-year in sewer maintenance services.
The demand for hazardous waste services and the price of waste oil remained at a low level, which had a negative impact on net sales and operating profit. Profitability also declined in environmental construction. In sewer maintenance, the operating result improved significantly due to previously implemented adaptation measures. Profitability improved in process cleaning due to strong demand.
The Industrial Services division's net sales for 2015 amounted to EUR 77.0 million (EUR 77.8 million), showing a decrease of 1.0%. Operating profit was EUR 6.8 million (EUR 6.5 million) and operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 6.8 million (EUR 7.1 million).
The division's net sales were weighed down by the low demand for hazardous waste management in the second half of the year. In sewer maintenance, net sales decreased due to the closure of unprofitable units. The demand for process cleaning services remained strong almost throughout the year, and net sales also grew in environmental construction.
The division's operating profit excluding non-recurring items was reduced by the low demand for hazardous waste management and the low price of waste oil. The operating result of the sewer maintenance business improved significantly due to adaptation measures implemented earlier in the year. Profitability also improved in process cleaning due to strong demand.
The division's net sales for the final quarter increased by 4.3% to EUR 71.7 million (EUR 68.8 million). Operating profit was EUR 1.0 million (EUR 1.7 million). Operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 2.5 million (EUR 2.6 million).
The technical systems maintenance business saw continued strong growth supported by organic sales growth and acquisitions made earlier in the year. The operating profit of technical systems maintenance nevertheless showed a loss, which had a negative impact on the division's operating profit.
Service demand grew in cleaning and property maintenance. The net sales of the renovation business (previously referred to as damage repair services) continued to decline as a result of the low number of damage incidents and the implementation of adaptation measures.
The profitability of property maintenance improved significantly year-on-year, and the operating loss of the renovation business was reduced due to restructuring measures. The division's operating profit was reduced by the loss recorded by the maintenance of technical systems business as well as the weaker profitability of cleaning services.
The final quarter's operating profit was reduced by restructuring costs of EUR 1.5 million.
The Facility Services division's net sales for 2015 grew by 3.0% to EUR 282.9 million (EUR 274.7 million). Operating profit was EUR 8.1 million (EUR 10.6 million). Operating profit excluding nonrecurring items was EUR 10.5 million (EUR 11.7 million).
Demand improved from the comparison period in the property maintenance and cleaning businesses, but the net sales of cleaning services in Sweden declined. The technical systems maintenance business saw strong growth throughout the year, supported by organic sales growth and acquisitions. The operating profit of technical systems maintenance nevertheless showed a loss. Profitability also declined in the cleaning business, with the result negatively affected by start-up costs related to several major customer relationships as well as the weaker profitability of the cleaning business in Sweden. Profitability improved significantly in property maintenance.
In the renovation business, demand declined throughout the year. The Group closed down unprofitable business locations in the first half of the year, which affected the entire division's net sales and operating profit. The adaptation measures significantly reduced the operating loss excluding non-recurring items.
Final quarter net sales of Renewable Energy Sources (L&T Biowatti) were down by 1.8% to EUR 11.7 million (EUR 12.0 million). Operating profit was EUR 0.3 million (EUR 1.0 million) and operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 0.3 million (EUR 0.6 million).
The division's net sales declined due to the low demand for biofuels and lower electricity prices. Operating profit was negatively affected by impairment recognised on the inventory of raw material in the final quarter.
The net sales of Renewable Energy Sources (L&T Biowatti) in 2015 declined by 10.9% to EUR 39.4 million (EUR 44.2 million). Operating profit was EUR 2.1 million (EUR 1.6 million) and operating profit excluding non-recurring items was EUR 2.1 million (EUR 1.4 million).
The division's net sales declined mainly due to the low demand for biofuels, which resulted from the short heating season. Net sales were also decreased by the continued refocusing of business operations on selected geographic areas in line with strategy. Profitability improved significantly due to efficiency improvement measures and the good energy content of fuels.

Cash flow from operating activities increased to EUR 89.8 million (EUR 79.6 million) due to the release of working capital. A total of EUR 9.5 million in working capital was released (EUR 2.2 million released).
At the end of the period, interest-bearing liabilities amounted to EUR 95.8 million (EUR 96.0 million).
Net interest-bearing liabilities amounted to EUR 41.8 million (EUR 52.0 million), showing a decrease of EUR 6.3 million from the previous quarter and a decrease of EUR 10.2 million from the comparison period.
Net financial expenses in 2015 amounted to EUR 2.2 million (EUR 21.9 million). Net financial expenses were 0.3% (3.4%) of net sales. The amount of net financial expenses in the comparison period was primarily due to the EUR 16.7 million payment made under the L&T Recoil Oy guarantee commitment and exchange rate fluctuations that affected the Group's internal loans denominated in foreign currencies.
The average interest rate on long-term loans (with interest rate hedging) was 1.5% (1.7%). Long-term loans totalling EUR 34.9 million will mature in 2016.
The equity ratio was 46.5% (46.3%) and the gearing rate was 19.8 (25.2). Liquid assets at the end of the period amounted to EUR 54.0 million (EUR 44.0 million).
Of the EUR 100 million commercial paper programme, EUR 0 (EUR 0) was in use at the end of the period. A committed limit totalling EUR 30.0 million was not in use, as was the case in the comparison period.
The Annual General Meeting held on 18 March 2015 resolved that a dividend of EUR 0.75 per share be paid on the basis of the balance sheet that was adopted for the financial year 2014. The dividend, totalling EUR 29.0 million, was paid to shareholders on 27 March 2015.

According to the financial statements, Lassila & Tikanoja plc's unrestricted equity amounts to EUR 97,547,601.44, with the operating profit for the period representing EUR 51,410,401.98. There were no substantial changes in the financial standing of the company after the end of the period, and the solvency test referred to in Chapter 13, Section 2 of the Companies Act does not affect the amount of distributable assets.
The Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting that a dividend of EUR 0.85 per share be paid for the financial year 2015.

No dividend shall be paid on shares held by the company on the record date of 21 March 2016.
