Report for the first quarter of 2008
First quarter
- Net turnover amounted to SEK 3,798 M (3,309).
- Operating loss amounted to SEK 10 M (profit: 41).
- Net loss amounted to SEK 15 M (profit: 31) and loss per share to SEK 0.75 (EPS: 1.45).
- Cash flow after net investments amounted to SEK 54 M (-108).
In a comment on the first quarter, Bilia's Managing Director Jan Pettersson says:
"The combination of excessively large used car stocks and falling prices had a very negative effect on earnings, as did a weak service market in Denmark. Stocks have declined and are approaching normal levels. An ambitious action programme has been launched in Denmark including closure of several facilities and staff reductions. Conditions for the Group are better during the second quarter."

Notable events during 2008
- Bilia sold a property in Västerås to Aspholmen Fastigheter AB. The capital gain after tax was SEK 6 M, which is included in the final accounts for the first quarter of 2008. Total assets declined by SEK 50 M.
- Bilia concluded an agreement with Bilforum Holding AS on the acquisition of all shares in Bilforum AS and Bilforum Finans AS, which represent Volvo, Renault and Land Rover in the Stavanger area. Bilforum is a member of the Bilia Group as from 1 January 2008.
- On 20 February, Bilia's subsidiary Säfveån won a longstanding dispute in the District Court of Gothenburg. Säfveån was awarded compensation for litigation costs amounting to SEK 14 M. The opposite party, Pacta, appealed the judgement on 11 March to the Court of Appeal for Western Sweden.
- Bilia concluded an agreement on the sale of properties in Sweden to a subsidiary of Corem Property Group. The price of the properties was SEK 380 M and the capital gain after tax is estimated at about SEK 60 M. Corem will take possession of the properties on 7 May 2008.
- Bilia has acquired the real estate company A/S Selandia Ejendomsselskab, which owns real estate holdings in Copenhagen at which Bilia runs operations. At the same time, an agreement has been reached to divest one piece of this real estate, Lyngby, to take effect on 1 August 2008. The book value of these real estate holdings is approximately SEK 300 M, of which the property in Lyngby accounts for around SEK 30 M. The sale of the real estate in Lyngby is expected to result in a profit before tax of approximately SEK 10 M. The sales process relating to the remainder of the real estate is in progress.
First quarter 2008
Demand for cars was at a lower level compared with the same period last year. Demand for service in Sweden and Norway was at the same level as last year, while it decreased in Denmark.
Net turnover amounted to SEK 3,798 M (3,309). Adjusted for exchange rate changes and comparable operations, net turnover decreased by SEK 79 M or 2 per cent. The decrease is mainly attributable to lower sales of cars and service in Denmark.
Operating loss amounted to SEK 10 M (profit: 41). Items affecting comparability reduced the loss by SEK 1 M (profit reduction: 2). The poorer result compared with last year is mainly attributable to lower margins in used cars sales, lower demand for service in Denmark and fewer work days in the quarter due to the fact that Easter fell in March.
Items affecting comparability (see table on page 3) amounted to a net of SEK 1 M during the quarter (-2) and consist of a gain of SEK 6 M (-) from the sale of a property in Västerås, SEK 1 M (1) in costs for disputes and SEK 4 M (-) in severance cost for the former Managing Director in Norway.
Net financial items amounted to SEK -17 M (1). This includes a profit share of SEK 5 M (5) from the indirect shareholding in Volvofinans. The decrease is due to higher net debt and a higher interest rate level during the quarter compared with last year.
Tax amounted to SEK +11 M (-10) corresponding to +41 per cent (24). The result includes non-taxable income amounting to SEK 11 M.
Net loss amounted to SEK 15 M (profit: 31) and loss per share to SEK 0.75 (EPS: 1.45). Exchange rate changes only affected the profit marginally.
Total assets decreased during the quarter by SEK 603 M to SEK 6,440 M. The decrease is mainly attributable to fewer new and used cars in stock and lower trade receivables.
Equity decreased during the quarter by SEK 18 M, amounting to SEK 1,489 M at the end of the quarter. The equity/assets ratio amounted to 23 per cent (31).
Investments and disposals amounted to SEK -6 M (-87). Replacement investments represented SEK 12 M (4), expansion investments SEK 13 M (5), environmental investments SEK 1 M
(1) and investments in new construction and additions to properties SEK 4 M (2). Net investments in leased vehicles and finance leases amounted to SEK -36 M (-99).
Cash flow after net investments amounted to SEK 54 M (-108). Net debt decreased by SEK 198 M during the quarter to SEK 1,024 M.
The number of employees amounted to 3,918 (3,443).

• Lower margin on used cars
• Action plan in Denmark
The market for new cars decreased during the quarter in Sweden by 10 per cent, in Norway by 11 per cent and in Denmark by 1 per cent.
Net turnover during the quarter amounted to SEK 3,794 M (3,309). Adjusted for exchange rate changes and comparable operations, net turnover decreased by SEK 83 M or 3 per cent. The decrease is primarily attributable to Denmark.
Operating profit for Cars amounted to SEK 3 M (60). The Car Business reported a loss of SEK 42 M, which was SEK 27 M worse than the first quarter of last year. A lower margin in used car sales and value adjustments of used cars in stock at the end of the quarter affected earnings adversely. Earnings in the Service Business totalled SEK 45 M (75). The decrease is mainly attributable to lower demand for service in Denmark and the fact that Easter fell during the quarter as opposed to the second quarter in 2007.
The operation in Sweden reported an operating profit of SEK 28 M (49). The difference compared with last year is mainly attributable to the used car business. An effort was made during the quarter to reduce the stocks of used cars, which, together with considerably lower demand for petrol-powered cars in particular, has affected the margin negatively. The stocks of used cars, which were at too high a level at year-end, were reduced during the quarter by about 720 cars but are still not at a satisfactory level.
The operating loss in Bilia's Norwegian operation amounted to SEK 6 M (profit: 13). A lower margin in car sales and higher costs had a negative impact on earnings in the Car Business. Earnings in the Service Business did not reach up to last year's good level but were at an acceptable level, considering that Easter fell during the quarter. The business has been reorganised into four regions with separate regional managements with full profit responsibility and common support according to the same model as in Sweden. Sten Forsberg, former head of Din Bil in Sweden, has been hired as the new manager in Norway and will assume his post on 1 June 2008.
The Danish operation reported an operating loss of SEK 19 M (loss: 2). Demand for service declined dramatically during the quarter, which greatly affected earnings. Demand has increased slightly during April, but service appointment times are still short. The previous plan for changes in the facility structure has been expanded and will also be implemented at a more rapid pace. Today's eleven facilities in Copenhagen will be reduced to seven, of which three will only offer service. The workforce will be reduced by more than 10 per cent. The whole action plan is expected to boost annual earnings by about SEK 40 M, with full effect as from 2010. The estimated cost of the above changes is about SEK 20 M and will be reported during the second quarter of 2008.

Cars - divided into Service and Car Businesses
1) Service includes workshop services, spare parts, accessories and petrol in the car operation. The Car Business includes sales of new and used cars
and customer financing. 2) Net turnover does not include eliminations for internal sales.
3) Starting with the report for the first six months of 2007, the contribution has been replaced by an estimated operating profit/loss for the Service Business and the Car Business. Joint costs and acquisition costs have been divided between the Service Business and Car Business. All comparative figures have been adjusted.
• Lower demand
• Lower margins in the Car Business
The Service Business's sales for comparable operations declined during the quarter by about 7 per cent. Denmark declined by 10 per cent, Sweden by 6 per cent and Norway by 5 per cent. Operating profit decreased by SEK 30 M due mainly to lower demand for service in Denmark and to the fact that Easter fell during the quarter. Measures are being adopted in Denmark to adjust the cost level to the lower demand for service.
The Car Business's deliveries of new cars declined by 12 per cent during the quarter for comparable operations. The order backlog increased by about 350 cars from the start of the year due to the fact that order bookings were slightly higher compared with deliveries during the quarter. Car turnover decreased by 1 per cent for comparable operations. The operating loss deteriorated during the quarter by SEK 27 M to SEK 42 M, and the operating margin decreased by 0.9 percentage point to -1.5 per cent. The difference is attributable to a lower margin in sales of new and above all used cars and higher relative costs. The trend of deteriorating operating earnings in the Car Business was the same in all of Bilia's markets, even though the impact was greatest in Sweden and Norway.
Stocks of new and used cars have declined during the quarter and are at a satisfactory level overall. Stocks of used cars declined during the quarter, but the level is still too high.
Discontinued operation, Properties
During the fourth quarter 2007 Bilia's Board of Directors decided to begin a sales process of the real estate in Sweden and Denmark. As of 2008 the real estates are accounted as Discontinued operation.

Parent Company
Bilia AB is responsible for the Group's management, strategic planning, financing, public relations and business development. Furthermore, Bilia AB conducts training and IT activities, mainly for companies in the Group.
The Parent Company's operating loss amounted to SEK 14 M (loss: 17).
Annual General Meeting in April
The dividend was set at SEK 8.00 per share. The Board of Directors was authorised to buy back the company's own shares, provided that the holding never exceeds 10 per cent of the total number of shares in the company.
Risks and uncertainties
As a result of its operations, the Bilia Group is exposed to both operating risks and financial risks. The operating risks include:
- The market for new cars which has been fairly stable during the past few years, while historically it has exhibited sharp fluctuations.
- Change in the demand for cars can affect the value of stock in hand and repurchase values. During the first quarter of 2008, the decrease in the demand for petrol-powered cars in Sweden resulted in value adjustments of used cars in stock.
- Increased competition in the markets where Bilia is active.
- The ability of suppliers to offer competitive products.
- Legal disputes. At present the Group is involved in legal proceedings relating to illegal price collusion and the Parent Company's right to deduct certain costs when calculating income tax and VAT. Bilia won the dispute in the District Court of Gothenburg regarding claims for damages relating to previous business operations. The opposite party has appealed to the Court of Appeal.
- Regulatory decisions that lead to changes in taxes and charges on the products Bilia sells can influence both demand for and the valuation of
Göteborg, 6 May 2008
Bilia AB (publ) Board of Directors cars in stock and cars sold with guaranteed residual values.
The financial risks include liquidity risks, interest rate risks, credit risks and currency risks.
• The recent turbulence on financial markets has resulted in an increase in the cost of risk, which can affect the Bilia Group's borrowing cost.
Bilia works continuously with risk identification and risk assessment. For further information about the risks that affect the Group, please refer to the 2007 Annual Report.
Accounting principles
This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The same accounting principles and calculation methods are applied as in the most recent annual report.
An interpretation from IFRIC, IFRIC 11, will be applied from financial year 2008. The interpretation will not have any effect on Bilia's Consolidated Income Statement, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow Statement or equity.

The Parent Company complies with the Swedish Annual Reports Act and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 2:1 Accounting for Legal Entities. Under RFR 2.1, the Parent Company shall, in preparing the annual accounts for the legal entity, apply all IFRSs and statements approved by the EU whenever this is possible within the framework of the Annual Reports Act and the Act on Safeguarding of Pension Obligations, while taking account of the relationship between accounting and taxation.
