Interim / Quarterly Report
Open in ViewerOpens in native device viewer
During the period we could see a mixed picture of the HMS markets with a relatively good North American market continuing its positive development to new record levels. We noticed a slow down on the European market during the period. The Japanese market is still irregular. Together the market is still cautious with uncertain conditions and we expect our customers will remain cautious until market conditions are more stable. Due to this situation and the strength of the Swedish currency HMS is now in a period of weaker growth.
HMS shows stability in reported figures and its financial position. With a focus on cost control we can now report at operating margin at 20 %, which is in line with our long term goal for profitability. This in combination with a continued in flow of design-wins allows us to continue with our long term strategic plan. The development of new technical platforms in the area of Safety and our new embedded platform continues according to plan.
During the period HMS signed an important blanket agreement within Telecom applications for our Remote Management solution. This product is now close to a market break through and we expect to see exciting market opportunities in this area in the future.
Our market is still difficult to predict in the near future, which means that we will continue to balance our long term growth strategy with a cautious approach to our expansion of costs.
Staffan Dahlström CEO for HMS Networks AB

The global market for HMS products is expected to remain weak. The market for the HMS product offering and the exchange rate development are still unpredictable but the HMS overall goals are unchanged: A long term average growth of 20 % per year and an operating margin above 20 %.

Growth strategy - HMS's main focus is on organic growth. Expansion on existing markets will be through improved and extended product ranges, new technology, high level of service and new sales channels. A certain degree of growth can be through the selective acquisition of businesses that will be a valuable complement to the company's organic growth strategy.
Development strategy - The Company's core expertise is made up of an extensive understanding of industrial network communication.
Product strategy - HMS markets three product lines, which to a certain degree are based on a common technical platform:
q Anybus Embedded - Embedded network interface cards
q Anybus Gateways - Communication translators between different networks
q Netbiter Remote Management - Remote monitoring and controlling of industrial devices
Production strategy - HMS maintains an in-house low-volume production of Anybus products in Halmstad. Volume production takes place in close partnership with subcontractors in Europe and Asia in order to achieve flexible costs and to make use of economies of scale.
Marketing strategy - The Anybus network interface cards are marketed and sold to players in industrial and infrastructure automation and Anybus Gateways to system integrators, machine manufacturers and end-users in industrial and infra-structure automation. Netbiter products are marketed and sold to a wide range of customers, from device manufacturers to owners of installations in need of remote management.
Sales strategy - Sales take place via the company's sales offices on defined key markets in 10 countries. Sales on the company's other markets, in some 50 countries, takes place via agents/ distributors.
HMS has designed its business models to fit each market and product line. For the Embedded market, most business is via framework agreements (i.e. design-wins). The sales cycle is relatively long and the design phase is performed in close cooperation with the customer. After that, there is steady revenue over a long period of time. For Gateways and Remote Management, the business model is more traditional, with a short business cycle and manufacturing based on customer orders.
This report has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and IAS 34, for Interim Reporting. Amendments to existing standards, new interpretations and new standards that came into effect as of January 1, 2012 did not affect the Groups reporting as of September 30, 2012.

We have reviewed this report for the period 1 January 2012 to 30 September 2012 for HMS Networks AB (publ). The board of directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report 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.
We conducted our review in accordance with the Swedish Standard on Review Engagements SÖG 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.
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.
