The Martela Group expects to post year-on-year revenue growth for 2012, and an operating result at or above the previous year's level.

Market

The uncertainties affecting the global economy have not yet had a significantly discernible impact on the demand for office furniture in the Nordic countries. The demand in fact increased in Finland, Sweden and Poland during the year. In Denmark, however, demand is still weak.

Statistics on office construction are available for the first three quarters of 2011, and according to these, 2 per cent more office space was built in Finland in terms of square metres in January - September 2011 than in the previous year. In the same period significantly more building permits (+36%) were granted and there were significantly more new office building starts (+21%) than in the corresponding nine-month period a year earlier.

Consolidated revenue and profit

Consolidated revenue for the fourth quarter was EUR 39.0 million (34.0), an increase of 14.5 per cent on the previous year. Consolidated revenue for the financial year rose to EUR 130.7 million (108.4), a growth of 20.6 per cent. The revenue increase was particularly strong in Finland and Poland, while Sweden and Norway also achieved good growth. Increased demand contributed to the growth, as did also successful sales efforts in those countries.

Other factors boosting revenue included the Martela Outlet sales channel acquired and launched in June 2010, and the Danish importer acquired in November 2010. Like-for-like revenue growth without the acquisitions was 11.4 per cent in the fourth quarter and 16.2 per cent for the financial year.

During the fourth quarter, operating profit improved to EUR 1.9 million (1.0). The operating profit for the full financial year improved substantially, amounting to EUR 2.6 million (1.3). During the year, the Group invested in service development and opened a number of Martela Outlet sales points in Finland. There are currently Martela Outlets in Helsinki, Joensuu, Oulu, Riihimäki, Tampere and Turku, all in Finland.

In Russia, new premises were opened in Moscow, joining the existing sales company operating in St. Petersburg. Due to this expenditure, the improvement in the consolidated operating result did not match the improvement in revenue.

Profit before taxes was EUR 1.9 million (1.1), and profit after taxes was EUR 1.6 million (0.6).

Segment reporting

The segments presented in the financial statements comply with the company's segment division. The comparison year's figures have also been rendered in the same way. The business segments are based on the Group's internal organisational structure and internal financial reporting.

Sales between segments are reported as part of the segments' revenue. The segment results presented are their operating results, because tax items and financial items are not allocated by segment. The Group's assets and liabilities are not allocated or monitored by segment in the internal financial reporting. The revenue and operating result are as recorded in the consolidated financial statements.

Business Unit Finland is responsible for sales and marketing, service production and product manufacturing in Finland. Martela has an extensive sales and service network covering the whole of Finland, with a total of 28 sales centres. The Business Unit's logistics centre is in Nummela.

Business Unit Sweden & Norway is responsible for sales in Sweden and Norway, handled through about 70 dealers. In addition, the Business Unit has its own sales and showroom facilities at three locations: Stockholm and Bodafors in Sweden and Oslo in Norway. The Business Unit's logistics centre and order handling are also located in Bodafors.

Business Unit Poland is responsible for the sales and distribution of Martela products in Poland and eastern Central Europe. In Poland, sales are organised through our own sales network, and in Hungary we have our own subsidiary and a sales centre. The company has altogether seven sales centres in Poland. The Business Unit's principal export countries are Ukraine, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, in each of which sales are handled by established dealers. Business Unit Poland is based in Warsaw, where it has its logistics centre and administration.

Korhonen was included in the figures for 'Other segments' in 2010 and until the end of January 2011, but subsequently has not been included in segment reporting, due to changes in the Group structure. The item 'Others' includes non-allocated Group functions and non-recurring sales gains and losses.

Financial position

The Group's financial position is strong. At the end of the financial year, interest-bearing liabilities were EUR 11.1 million (5.9), and net liabilities were EUR -0.8 million (-4.4). The gearing ratio was -2.6 per cent (-14.1) and the equity-to-assets ratio was 44.7 per cent (55.6). Net financial expenses were EUR 0.4 million (0.2).

The cash flow from operating activities for the year was EUR 1.2 million (-0.1).

The balance sheet total at the end of the year was EUR 69.7 million (56.7).

Capital expenditure

The Group's gross capital expenditure for the financial year was EUR 6.8 million (4.7), and this was mainly on the acquisition of Muuttopalvelu Grundell Oy and Grundell Henkilöstöpalvelut Oy, and the ERP project and production replacements.

Personnel

The Group employed an average of 637 (601) persons, a year-on-year increase of 6.0 per cent.

Product development, products and communications

In the product portfolio, the focus was on developing the workstation range. The aim, in particular, was to improve the competitiveness of the range of desks, screens, storage units and task chairs. A highlight among the new designs in 2011 was the mesh-backed JamesH task chair, the latest member in the James product family designed by Iiro Viljanen, Martela's in-house designer. Combining modern design with simple elegance, the JamesH generated interest among customers and designers alike. Another significant new product was the Kuru all-purpose chair by designer Antti Kotilainen. The Kuru complements Martela's chair range with its high-quality finishing and was an immediate success with customers at its launch at the Stockholm Furniture Fair.

Responsibility

In 2011, Martela paid considerable attention to responsibility issues, and in August it published its first corporate responsibility report in compliance with the GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) guidelines. The corporate policies adopted as a result of the responsibility project can be found together with Martela's Code of Conduct on the company's website. Responsibility plays an important role in the Group, and the GRI reporting indicators and measures taken on the basis of these indicators are monitored systematically in the company.

Martela applies the ISO 9001:2000 standard in its operations and the ISO 14001:2004 standard in its environmental management. The aim of the company's environmental management programmes is to reduce the adverse environmental impact of Martela's products throughout their life cycle, and to increase re-use and recycling. Martela has paid particular attention to the recycling and potential re-use of discarded furniture by offering recycling services to customers.

Group structure

On 17 January 2011, Artek Oy Ab and Martela Corporation signed an agreement to establish a joint enterprise. The new company then acquired the business of Martela's subsidiary P.O. Korhonen on 1 February 2011. The joint enterprise will focus on the manufacture of products marketed and sold by Martela and Artek. Martela has a 51 per cent stake in the new company, while Artek's holding is 49 per cent. Under the shareholding agreement, Martela does not have control of the company as defined in IAS 27. The new company, named P.O. Korhonen, will operate as a contract manufacturer specialising in the production of form-pressed wooden furniture. Regarding the figures for the new company, Martela's consolidated income statement will only include Martela's share of the joint enterprise's profit or loss on the basis of Martela's holding, and this is reported in the consolidated income statement under 'share of result in associated undertakings'.

Under a deal signed on 31 December 2011, Martela Corporation acquired 100% of the share capital of Muuttopalvelu Grundell Oy and Grundell Henkilöstöpalvelut Oy. The acquisition of Grundell, which is a removals company and provider of interior planning services, allows Martela to expand the services it offers and gives customers one-stop access to a wider selection of interior planning services and products. Muuttopalvelu Grundell Oy, established in 1961, is one of the largest providers of removals and interior planning services in Finland. Following the acquisition, Grundell will continue as a separate company under the Grundell name within the Martela Group.

No other changes took place in the Group structure in 2011.

Shares

Martela has two share series (K shares and A shares), with each K share entitling its holder to 20 votes at a General Meeting and each A share entitling its holder to one vote. Private owners of K shares have a valid shareholder agreement that restricts the sale of K shares to other than existing holders of K shares. The total number of K shares is 604,800 and A shares 3,550,800.

During the financial year, 681,344 (1,182,411) of the company's A shares, or 19.2 per cent (33.3) of all A shares, were traded on NASDAQ OMX Helsinki.

The value of trading turnover was EUR 5.0 million (8.4), and the share price was EUR 7.77 at the beginning of the year and EUR 5.79 at the close of the year. During the financial year, the share price was EUR 8.56 at its highest and EUR 5.03 at its lowest. At the end of December, equity per share was EUR 7.60 (7.74).

Treasury shares

Martela did not purchase any of its own shares in 2011. On 31 December 2011, Martela owned a total of 67,700 Martela A shares, purchased at an average price of EUR 10.65. Martela's holding of treasury shares amounts to 1.6 per cent of all shares and 0.4 per cent of all votes.

Share acquisition for the share-based incentive scheme and management of the scheme have been outsourced to an external service provider. These shares have been entered under equity in the consolidated financial statements for 31 December 2011. A total of 38,647 shares under the incentive scheme were still undistributed at the close of the year.

2011 Annual General Meeting

The Annual General Meeting of Martela Corporation was held on Tuesday 15 March 2011. The meeting approved the financial statements for 2010 and discharged the members of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director from liability. The AGM decided, in accordance with the Board of Directors' proposal, to distribute a dividend of EUR 0.45 per share. The dividends were paid on 25 March 2011.

The number of members on the Board of Directors was confirmed as seven, and Heikki Ala-Ilkka, Tapio Hakakari, Jori Keckman, Heikki Martela, Pekka Martela, Pinja Metsäranta and Jaakko Palsanen were reelected. KPMG Oy Ab, Authorised Public Accountants, was appointed again as the company's auditor.

The AGM also approved the Board of Directors' proposals, detailed in the meeting notice, to authorise the Board to acquire and/or dispose of Martela shares.

The new Board of Directors convened after the Annual General Meeting and elected Heikki Ala-Ilkka as Chairman and Pekka Martela as Vice Chairman.

Corporate governance

Martela Corporation is a Finnish limited liability company whose decision-making and administration are governed by Finnish legislation, especially the Finnish Limited Liability Companies Act, and other regulations concerning public listed companies and the Martela Corporation Articles of Association.

The company complies with the NASDAQ OMX guidelines for insiders and the Corporate Governance Code 2010 for Finnish listed companies published by the Finnish Securities Market Association.

The company has published a report on its corporate governance in accordance with the Corporate Governance Code.

Events after the end of the financial year

No significant reportable events have taken place since the financial year, and operations have continued according to plan.

Short-term risks

The greatest risk to profit performance is related to the continuation of general economic uncertainty and the consequent effects on the overall demand for office furniture.

Outlook for 2012

The Martela Group expects to post year-on-year revenue growth for 2012, and an operating result at or above the previous year's level.

Proposal of the Board of Directors for distribution of profit

The Board of Directors will propose to the AGM that a dividend of EUR 0.45 (2010: EUR 0.45) per share be distributed for 2011. The company's liquidity is good and it is the Board's opinion that the proposed distribution of profit will not endanger the company's solvency.

Annual General Meeting

Martela Corporation's AGM will be held on 14 March 2012 at 3 p.m. in Martela House, Helsinki. The notice of Annual General Meeting will be published in a separate stock exchange release.

ACQUISITIONS

Martela Corporation acquired the removals company and interior planning services provider Muuttopalvelu Grundell Oy and Grundell Henkilöstöpalvelut Oy in a transaction dated 31 December 2011. The acquisition allows Martela to expand the services it offers and gives customers one-stop access to a wider selection of interior planning services and products. Grundell is one of the largest providers of removals and interior planning services in Finland. Following the acquisition, Grundell will continue as a separate company under the Grundell name within the Martela Group.

The Grundell acquisition increased goodwill by EUR 883,000. The acquired business and the increased goodwill are expected to be of benefit to business operations in that combining service operations will improve the quality of service processes and the efficiency of service logistics. With a simpler service chain it will be possible to implement more comprehensive product and service solutions.

Martela agreed to pay earn-out to the sellers of Grundell. This payment is partly based on achieving certain future financial goals. The sellers have agreed to work for the Martela Group until the earn-out has been paid. Therefore the additional payment of a maximum of EUR 1.7 million will be entered as personnel expenses during the earn-out period.

The expenses of EUR 125,000 associated with the acquisition are recognised under other operating expenses.

As the acquisition took place on 31 December 2011, any revenue or profit following that date are not included in the consolidated income statement.

If the acquisition had been made at the beginning of the 2011 financial year, the consolidated revenue would have been EUR 6.8 million higher and the consolidated profit EUR 0.5 million higher.
