Sales increased in the second quarter while orders and the profit were lower than the previous year.
In the second quarter the profit continued to be burdened by costs for replacing components in on-site customer installations. The company's warranty reserve is being increased to meet additional costs.
The costs refer to component problems in deliveries from some of Pricer's suppliers which, while they are assessed as resolved, have required significant efforts to replace the labels for a number of customers. A comprehensive quality enhancement programme has been launched, which also includes sub-contractors.
In the second quarter, non-recurring costs of SEK 52.8 million are reported. In addition to the increased warranty reserve for replacement components, the costs include write-downs of stock and development projects. Excluding non-recurring costs, the operating profit was SEK 2.7 million.
We assess that the component problems will not have an impact on Pricer's sales in 2014 as the problems have been identified and are assessed as being resolved. The replacement work is being conducted on a continuous basis with the affected customers. No sales or profit forecast is given for the full-year.
To enable Pricer to resume its growth and return to good profitability, the company's sales and market strategy is currently reviewed and revised as described below.
The company's board of directors are together with management preparing a new strategy which will focus on a more solution-oriented sales model. This roughly means that Pricer's infrastructure in stores is supplemented with software to enable the customers to synchronise pricing in their physical and online stores.
Pricer's shelf labels and – to an increasing extent – the graphic labels, continue to play a central role as they can house a large amount of information in addition to the price. Pricer is working on developing software which, among other things, gives customers a tool for actively managing this price optimisation and other information that the company's solution makes possible. The retail trade can use Pricer's solution to enhance its competiveness and profitability in physical stores and between physical stores and online stores, with a so called omni-channel strategy. This could, for example, also be achieved by creating a communication channel with the consumer via mobile applications. An example is the solution that has been taken for the French retail chain Carrefour. The solution makes it possible for the consumer to navigate in the stores, receive information, special offers and find the right product using their mobile phone.
Pricer's world-leading base of around 100 million installed electronic shelf labels in some 13,000 stores is a strong platform for implementing such a solution-based sales.
As Pricer has made provisions for eliminating negative profit impact from previous deliveries, this is expected to strengthen Pricer's margin. These problems have encumbered the company's development and sales initiatives. As they are now assessed to be resolved, the company can focus fully on developing new solutions and strengthening its sales models for key markets in the second half of the year, which is expected to strengthen growth and profitability from 2015.
As previously announced, Pricer's new CEO, Jonas Vestin will join the company on 14 August. With his international experience of software-based sales, from companies such as Oracle, he will take leadership of Pricer's change management.
The introduction of the new strategy and business model is considered to involve a number of structural changes in the second half of 2014, which are preliminarily expected to cost around SEK 15 million.
The increasingly extensive customer base of Pricer means the dependency on individual customers is reducing and sales are originating from more and more customers.
Net sales in the region were SEK 216.5 M (180.5).
Carrefour, the world's second largest retailer, will use Pricer's latest retail technology for a fully-connected store that significantly improves the customer experience. This will substantially improve the customer experience, for example by enabling them to locate the product that they want using a mobile device.
During the quarter it has been confirmed that France's largest Do-It-Yourself and home improvement chain, Leroy Merlin, will install Pricer's system in all 121 of its stores by the end of 2015. 35 store installations are planned for 2014 and the remainder during 2015. The sales value is estimated at SEK 130 M (USD 20 M).
An important contract has been signed on the Nordic market in the beginning of the year. Pricer's partner in Norway, PSI Systems, has signed a frame agreement with a Norwegian retailer to equip its stores with the Pricer system.
The German home electronics giant Media Markt has in its Dutch retail chain Media Saturn initiated a marketing campaign where they announce that they
use Pricer's solution in order to manage a very active price strategy. The electronics giant compares its prices with its 25 largest competitors daily. Pricer's electronic shelf labels enables Media Markt – Saturn to simultaneously adjust prices in all their stores and web shop without delay.
Net sales in the region were SEK 14.1 M (34.0).
Pilot projects and smaller installations are in progress in a number of retail chains in various sectors in several countries in this important market region.
Net sales in the region were SEK 20.9 M (6.6). Development in the region, particularly relating to Japan but also other markets has improved.
Orders were SEK 127 M (154) in the second quarter, a decrease of 17 percent compared to second quarter 2013. Excluding currency effects, the decrease was 21 percent. The Swedish krona has weakened primarily against the euro as compared to the same period the previous year. Orders for the equivalent quarter in 2013 were positively affected by the large order from Media Markt in the Netherlands. At the end of the quarter, orders were worth SEK 124 M (174).
Net sales were SEK 147.9 M (127.9) during the quarter. The increase in net sales was 16 percent compared to the second quarter of last year. Excluding currency effects, the increase was 11 percent. Net sales were SEK 555 M (487) on an annualized basis, which is an increase of 14 percent.
Gross profit was SEK 36.0 M (40.2) and the gross margin was 24.3 percent (31.4) for the quarter.
Operating expenses were SEK 33.3 M (31.1) during the quarter.
Operating profit was SEK 2.7 M (9.1) during the quarter.
Net profit was SEK 2.0 M (7.7) for the quarter.
Orders for the half year were SEK 260 M (296), a decrease of 12 percent compared to the first half of the previous year. Excluding currency effects, the decrease was 15 percent as the Swedish krona has weakened as compared to the same period the previous year.
Net sales were SEK 251.5 M (221.1) during the first half year. The increase in net sales was 14 percent compared to the first half 2013. Excluding currency effects, the increase was 10 percent. The Swedish krona has weakened which reduces the value of export sales.
Gross profit was SEK 60.0 M (63.9) and the gross margin was 23.9 percent (28.9) for the half year.
Operating expenses were SEK 66.5 M (58.6) during the half year, an increase of 13 percent, mainly explained by higher depreciations and lower degree of capitalization of development projects.
Operating profit was SEK -6.5 M (5.3) during the half year, primarily by the loss in the first quarter.
Net profit was SEK -8.0 M (3.8) for the half year.
Translation differences in other comprehensive income consisted of the positive currency revaluation of net assets in foreign subsidiaries in euro, primarily goodwill.

Pricer's results and financial position are affected by a number of risk factors that must be taken into consideration when assessing the Group, the Parent Company and their future potential. These risks primarily concern developments in the ESL market. Given the customer structure and the large size of the contracts, any delay in installations may have a significant impact on any given quarter. For additional risks, please see the annual report.
There have been no significant transactions involving related parties that could have a material impact on the financial position and earnings of the Group or the Parent Company.
This interim report showing the consolidated accounts has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, and applicable regulations in the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. This interim report for the Parent Company has been prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, Chapter 9, and RFR 2. Accounting principles applied for the consolidated accounts and the Parent Company accounts are consistent with the principles applied in the most recent annual report.
The new or amended IFRS that came into effect on 1 January 2014 have had no material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
The annual general meeting in May 2014 elected a new board of directors to Pricer
It has earlier been indicated that both net sales and operating profit were expected to be better in 2014 than in 2013. As a consequence of the above mentioned non-recurring costs, the reported operating profit will not be better than in 2013. Therefore the company will not provide an outlook, however, it is not ruled out that the earlier reported outlook will be achieved, excluding above mentioned non-recurring costs and provisions.
The interim report for January – September 2014 will be published on 7 November 2014.
The undersigned gives his assurance that the half-year report provides an accurate summary of the parent company's and group's operations, position and profit and describes the significant risks and uncertainty factors that the parent company and the companies in the group are faced with.
