Sterling devaluation has hit Bong hard since we were not able to pass on price increases to our customers at the same pace as the increasing cost.

Production and sales

Market and industry

During the third quarter of 2016, FEPE statistics shows that the European envelope market volume have decreased by approximately 4% compared to the same period previous year. Bong's decline in sales is currently higher than the market decline, and Bong is working to change this trend.

The restructuring process and consolidation of the industry will continue, but at a slower pace than the market decline. Large overcapacity will remain.

While the envelope market continues to decline the light packaging market, where Bong is present, is still growing and is a large and fragmented market. Bong has invested in paper carrier bag machines, which will start producing in Nybro, Sweden during the second half of 2016. Bong sees large opportunities for these products within the retail segment due to the EUlegislation that will ban usage of plastic bags in Europe within a few years. This ban has already been implemented in a number of European countries.

The political uncertainty regarding UK and their exit from EU has affected Bong as well as the entire European market negatively.

Sales and profit

January – September 2016

Consolidated sales for the period reached SEK 1,556 million (1,732. Exchange rate fluctuations had a negative impact on sales of SEK -39 million compared with 2015. The main reason for the drop in sales is the continued downturn in the envelope market, which resulted in both lower volumes and pricing pressures which had a negative impact on Bong's gross earnings.

Despite lower sales, operating profit equaled last year SEK -6 million (-6), due to the new lower cost structure after the restructuring programs.

Net financial items for the period, excluding non-recurring items, amounted to SEK -31 million (-39). Non-recurring items, related to the refinancing transaction, amounted to SEK 430 million.

Earnings before tax were SEK 393 million (-45) and reported earnings after tax were SEK 298 million (-51).

Bong's total light packaging sales amounted to SEK 275 million (283). Currency fluctuations had a negative impact on light packaging sales of SEK -7 million compared with the corresponding period in 2015.

Sales and profit

July – September 2016

Consolidated sales for the third quarter reached SEK 489 million (560). Exchange rate fluctuations had a negative impact on sales of SEK -10 million compared with 2015. The main reasons for the drop in sales is the continued downturn in the envelope market and that Bong has lost some market shares., The lower volumes on the market has resulted in pricing pressure

which has had a negative impact on Bong's gross earnings. The decreasing sales and the disadvantageous product mix was not fully compensated by the reduced costs, despite substantial cost reductions. Non recurring costs reduced the result by SEK -7 million. The operating profit was SEK -10 (3).

Net financial items for the period, excluding non-recurring items, amounted to SEK -12 million (-12).

Earnings before tax were SEK -22 million (-9) and reported earnings after tax were SEK -25 million (-12).

Bong's total light packaging sales amounted to SEK 94 million (95). Currency fluctuations had a negative impact on light packaging sales of SEK -2 million compared with the corresponding period in 2015.

Cash flow and investments

The cash flow after investing activities improved to SEK 4 million (-80). The cash flow from operating activities including decreased working capital had a negative impact of SEK -12 million (-78). Restructuring programs had negative impact of SEK -22 million (-54). No other non-recurring items has affected the liquidity in the period (-30).

Investments, primarily in machines for production of paper carrier bags, had a negative impact amounting to SEK -17 million (-20). Only minor asset sales of SEK 3 million (61) were made in the period.

Furthermore, the final payment for acquiring the former banks claims had a negative effect on the cash flow in the second quarter with SEK -15 million.

Financial position

Cash and cash equivalents at 30 September 2016 amounted to SEK 58 million (SEK 64 million at 31 December 2015, net of the escrow account amounting to SEK 180 million). The Group had unutilized credit facilities of SEK 5 million on the same date. Total available cash and cash equivalents thus amounted to SEK 63 million (92 million at 31 December 2015, net of the escrow account amounting to SEK 180 million). Consolidated equity at the end of September 2016 was SEK 698 million (SEK 317 million at 31 December 2015). Translation of the net asset value of foreign subsidiaries to Swedish krona and changes in the fair value of pension debt and derivative instruments increased consolidated equity by SEK 20 million. The interest bearing net loan debt decreased during the period by SEK -490 million to SEK 347 million (SEK 837 million at 31 December 2015).

Employees

The average number of employees during the period was 1,570 (1,781). The Group had 1,527 (1,691) employees at the end of September 2016. Bong has intensively worked on improving productivity and adjusting staff to meet current demand and the reduction is the result of the implemented restructuring measures.

Parent Company

The Parent Company's business extends to management of operating subsidiaries and certain Group management functions. Sales were SEK 0.7 million (0.7) and earnings before tax for the period were SEK 248 million (-4). Non-recurring items, related to the refinancing transaction, amounted to SEK 229 million.

Auditor's report

Introduction

We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of Bong AB (publ). as of 30 September 2016 and the nine-month period then ended. The board of directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, Review of Interim Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing, ISA, and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Group, and with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Parent Company.
