Report for the first six months of 2010

First six months

  • Net turnover amounted to SEK 7,900 M (6,609).
  • Operating profit was SEK 212 M (23) and the operating margin was 2.7 per cent (0.4).
  • Profit for the period was SEK 153 M (3) and earnings per share was SEK 6.25 (0.10).

Second quarter

  • Net turnover amounted to SEK 4,158 M (3,569).
  • Operating profit was SEK 129 M (39) and the operating margin was 3.1 per cent (1.1).
  • Profit for the period was SEK 94 M (24) and earnings per share was SEK 3.85 (1.15).
  • Cash flow after net investments amounted to SEK -26 M (215).

In a comment on the second quarter, Bilia's Managing Director Jan Pettersson says:

"We once again delivered strong results. Sales of both cars and service increased and the cost level was lower. The market situation improved in Denmark as well now, and the operation finally reported a profit. The acquisition of the BMW dealer in Stockholm will further strengthen Bilia's position from next year. External surveys show that customers are still satisfied with the service they get from Bilia. The trade associations' forecasts point towards a good market situation during the second half of the year as well."

Notable events during 2010

  • During the first half of the year up to and including the 30th of June, 484,633 warrants were exercised to subscribe for new shares, resulting in a new share issue of SEK 10 M. The number of outstanding warrants at 30 June was 681,048.
  • Since 17 October 2008, HQ Bank AB has acted as the market maker for the company's share. Liquidity in the share has been strengthened, so there is no longer a need for a market maker. The agreement with HQ Bank AB expired on 1 July 2010.
  • An agreement was concluded on 9 June for Bilia's acquisition of all the shares in the BMW dealer Bilcentralen i Stockholm AB, plus an option to acquire shares in M6 Fastighets AB, which owns the two properties in which the business is conducted. The date of possession is 3 January 2011 and the agreement is contingent upon the approval of the Swedish Competition Authority. The company's annual turnover is about SEK 600 M, and their average operating margin during the past three years was 4.1 per cent. The acquisition of Bilcentralen will increase the capital employed in the Bilia Group by about SEK 125 M.

Further information on the above events and other press information is available at www.bilia.com.

Best result ever

Profit in Denmark

The market for new cars increased during the quarter in Sweden by 34 per cent, in Norway by 41 per cent and in Denmark by 40 per cent.

Net turnover amounted to SEK 4,158 M, compared with last year's SEK 3,569 M. For comparable operations and adjusted for exchange rate changes, net turnover increased by about SEK 520 M or 15 per cent. The increase is mainly attributable to sales of new cars.

Operating profit for Cars, the best in the company's history, amounted to SEK 139 M (56) and the operating margin to 3.3 per cent (1.6). Earnings in the Vehicle Business improved by SEK 52 M to a profit of SEK 48 M. The improvement is mainly due to higher net turnover in new car sales and a higher gross profit margin in new and used car sales. The profit in the Service Business improved by SEK 31 M to SEK 91 M.

The operation in Sweden reported an operating profit of SEK 103 M (59). The improvement in earnings is mainly attributable to increased turnover and a slightly higher gross profit margin in sales of new and used cars. The Service Business developed well and reported better earnings compared with last year, mainly due to higher net turnover.

Operating profit in Bilia's Norwegian operation amounted to SEK 31 M (7). The improvement in earnings is mainly attributable to the Service Business, which reported higher net turnover and a slightly higher gross profit margin. Sales of new cars increased by all of 52 per cent, which contributed to the earnings improvement. Sales of used cars declined, and turnover and gross profit margin were at a lower level compared with the first quarter, as well as with last year.

The Danish operation reported an operating profit of SEK 5 M (loss: 10). The market situation improved during the quarter. Earnings in the Vehicle Business improved by all of SEK 14 M, mainly due to a higher gross profit margin in sales of new and used cars. Demand for service increased slightly compared to the first quarter this year and turnover and earnings were on a par with last year. Extensive measures have been adopted during the past two years for the purpose of reducing overheads and tied-up capital. Costs were 3.4 percentage points lower in relation to net turnover than last year.

Sweden increased by 8 per cent and Norway by 7 per cent, while Denmark decreased by 1 per cent. Operating profit increased by SEK 31 M to SEK 91 M, and the operating margin increased by 2.1 percentage points to 7.0 per cent.

The Vehicle Business's deliveries of new cars increased during the quarter by 27 per cent for comparable operations. The order backlog was slightly higher than deliveries, resulting in an increase in the order backlog by 168 vehicles during the quarter. Vehicle turnover increased by 19 per cent for comparable operations and adjusted for exchange rate changes. The operating result increased by SEK 52 M to a profit of SEK 48 M. The used car business once again reported a profit, and the gross profit margin was strengthened slightly compared with last year and was on a par with the first quarter of the year.

Stocks of new and used cars are at low levels, even though they increased slightly during the quarter. The turnover rate for used cars remains at a high level and amounted to 11 times per year at the end of the quarter.

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:

  • Development of the market for new cars.
  • Diminished demand for cars can also affect the value of stock in hand and guaranteed residual values.
  • Increased competition in the markets where Bilia is active.
  • The ability of suppliers to offer competitive products.
  • Regulatory decisions that lead to changes in taxes and charges on the products Bilia sells can influence both demand for and the valuation of cars in stock and cars sold with guaranteed residual values.

The financial risks include liquidity risks, interest rate risks, credit risks and currency risks.

Bilia works continuously with risk identification and risk assessment. For further information about the risks that affect the Group, please refer to the 2009 Annual Report.

Accounting principles

Group

This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. A number of amendments and interpretations of standards have entered into force for financial year 2010. These amendments have not had any effect on the Bilia Group's financial reports.

The same accounting principles and calculation methods have thereby been applied as in the most recent annual report.

One of the changes for financial year 2010 is IFRS 3 Business Combinations, which may have an effect on possible new future acquisitions.

Parent Company

The same accounting principles and calculation methods are applied as in the most recent annual report. The Parent Company complies with the Swedish Annual Reports Act and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 2.3 Accounting for Legal Entities. The application of RFR 2.3 means that, in the interim report for the legal entity, the Parent Company applies 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.

Audit

This interim report has not been subjected to special examination by the auditors.

Next report

The interim report for the third quarter of 2010 will be published on 29 October 2010.

This half-year report provides a true and fair summary of the Group's and the Parent Company's activities, financial position and results of operations while describing significant risks and uncertainties faced by the Parent Company and the companies included in the Group.
