Report for the first quarter of 2012

First quarter

  • Net turnover amounted to SEK 4,562 M (4,344).
  • Operating profit was SEK 74 M (98).
  • Profit for the period was SEK 49 M (69) and earnings per share SEK 2.00 (2.75).
  • Operating cash flow amounted to SEK 355 M (172).

In a comment on the first quarter, Bilia's Managing Director Per Avander says:

"Demand for new cars decreased as expected, and earnings did not reach last year's level. Demand in the Service Business was weaker than expected, which is partly attributable to the mild winter. We reported strong cash flow, and the trend in Norway continued to be positive. The acquisition of Stenshagen Bil was completed, and the business will be integrated with Bilia's Norwegian operation during the second quarter. We project that demand for new cars and service during the second quarter will be at a lower level than last year."

First quarter 2012

Demand for new cars and service decreased during the quarter and was at a lower level compared with the same period last year.

Net turnover amounted to SEK 4,562 M (4,344). For comparable operations and adjusted for exchange rate changes, net turnover decreased by about SEK 115 M or 3 per cent. The decrease is mainly attributable to lower sales of new cars and service.

Operating profit amounted to SEK 74 M (98). The decrease is mainly attributable to lower demand in the Service Business. Earnings in Denmark declined by SEK 17 M, mainly due to lower demand for service during the quarter. Earnings from sales of both new and used cars were on a level with last year. The acquisition of Stenshagen Bil is included with an operating profit after acquisition costs of SEK 4 M. The underlying costs increased by nearly 1 per cent, and were 0.1 percentage points higher in relation to net turnover than last year.

Net financial items amounted to SEK -3 M (-6). The improvement is mainly attributable to lower net debt and a lower interest rate level. The figure includes a profit share of SEK 5 M (4) from the indirect shareholding in Volvofinans Bank AB.

Tax for the period amounted to SEK -22 M (-23), which is equivalent to a tax rate of 31 per cent (25). The year's high tax rate is attributable to the fact that no tax asset has been recognised on the deficit for the period in Denmark.

Profit for the period amounted to SEK 49 M (69) and earnings per share to SEK 2.00 (2.75). Exchange rate changes affected the profit by SEK 1 M.

Total assets increased during the quarter by SEK 307 M to SEK 5,813 M. The increase is attributable to the acquisition of Stenshagen Bil.

Equity increased during the quarter by SEK 114 M, amounting to SEK 1,927 M. The use of repurchased Bilia shares to pay for the acquisition of Stenshagen Bil increased owner equity by SEK 63 M. The equity/assets ratio amounted to 33 per cent (35).

Investments and disposals amounted to a net of SEK 45 M (16). Replacement investments represented SEK 11 M (8), expansion investments SEK 4 M (5), environmental investments SEK 0 M (0), investments in new construction and additions to properties SEK 29 M (1), and finance leases SEK 1 M (2).

Operating cash flow amounted to SEK 355 M (172). Car stocks and other working capital were reduced by a net of SEK 221 M (24) during the quarter. After acquisitions of operations and net investments, cash flow amounted to SEK 159 M (103). Net debt decreased by SEK 184 M during the quarter, amounting to SEK 139 M.

Liquidity was strengthened during the quarter, and the net balance with the banks at the end of March was SEK 97 M. The combined credit limit with Nordea and DNB amounts to SEK 900 M.

The number of employees increased during the year by 53, amounting to 3,514. Acquisitions of operations have increased the number of employees by 118.

Weak earnings in Denmark

Order backlog increased during the quarter

The market for new cars shrank during the quarter by 3 per cent in Sweden and increased by 3 per cent in Norway, while it remained unchanged in Denmark.

Net turnover amounted to SEK 4,562 M, compared with last year's SEK 4,344 M. For comparable operations and adjusted for exchange rate changes, net turnover decreased by about SEK 115 M or 3 per cent. The decrease is mainly attributable to lower sales of new cars and service.

Cars reported an operating profit of SEK 84 M (109) and an operating margin of 1.8 per cent (2.5). The poorer results are mainly attributable to lower demand in the Service Business. The Car Business reported earnings on a level with last year. The order backlog increased by 811 cars during the quarter, 276 of which were attributable to the acquisition of Stenshagen Bil.

The operation in Sweden reported an operating profit of SEK 61 M (76). The lower profit is mainly attributable to lower deliveries of new cars, lower turnover in the Service Business and extensive training activities in the concept of personal service technicians. The Service Business reported earnings that were SEK 8 M lower compared with last year.

Operating profit in Bilia's Norwegian operation amounted to SEK 37 M (30). The acquisition of Stenshagen Bil is included with an operating profit after acquisition costs of SEK 4 M. The improvement is mainly attributable to a higher gross profit margin on sales of used cars. Demand for service has been at a slightly lower level in Norway as well. The introduction of the concept of personal service technicians, which has been so successful in Sweden, began during the quarter, incurring costs that were charged to earnings in the Service Business. Earnings in the Car Business, not including acquisitions, increased by SEK 10 M, while the earnings decreased by SEK 7 M in the Service Business.

The Danish operation reported an operating loss of SEK 14 M (profit: 3). Demand for service remained at a low level, and turnover declined by 12 per cent. Most of the earnings decrease is attributable to the Service Business. A change in the law governing the system of charges for new cars was made at the end of February, which had a negative impact on sales and gross profit margin in March. The change will probably depress the market during the second quarter as well. Savings and action programmes will be implemented during the second quarter.

Cars - divided into Service, Vehicle and Fuel businesses

Service includes workshop services, spare parts and accessories in the car operation. The Car Business includes sales of new and used cars and customer financing.

1) Net turnover does not include eliminations for internal sales.

Lower demand in the Service Business

Profit in used car business

The Service Business's sales for comparable operations and adjusted for exchange rate changes decreased by about 3 per cent. Sales in Sweden declined by 3 per cent, in Norway by 1 per cent and in Denmark by 12 per cent. The frequency of auto body repairs was at a much lower level compared with last year due to the mild winter. We believe that private persons also postponed service and other repair work during March, which is otherwise a strong month. Operating profit decreased by SEK 23 M, amounting to SEK 62 M. Profit was charged with training costs in the concept of personal service technicians.

The Car Business's deliveries of new cars declined during the quarter for comparable operations by 11 per cent and used cars by 4 per cent. Orders received were at a much lower level than last year, -19 per cent, but higher compared with the quarter's deliveries. The order backlog increased for comparable operations during the quarter by 535 cars. Demand for used cars was better compared with the last quarter and on a level with last year. The gross profit margin was strengthened during the quarter, and the used car business reported a lower profit that was on a level with last year.

Stocks of new unsold cars and used cars decreased during the quarter and are at good levels. The turnover rate for used cars remains at a high level, amounting to nearly 10 times per year.

The Fuel Business is concentrated to Sweden and developed slightly better in volume than the rest of the Swedish market,: -2 per cent compared to the total market: -4 per cent.

Acquisitions of operations 2012

Stenshagen Bil Oslo AS and Stenshagen Bil Kongsvinger AS

On 29 February 2012, Bilia acquired all the shares in Stenshagen Bil Oslo AS and Stenshagen Bil Kongsvinger AS, with financial effect from 1 January 2012. The companies, which are major BMW and Volvo dealers in Norway, have an annual turnover of about SEK 1.0 bn, with an operating margin of about 4 per cent. The number of cars sold annually is around 2,500. The purchase consideration amounted to SEK 237 M, of which SEK 63 M was paid with repurchased Bilia shares (515,000 shares) and the remaining SEK 174 M was paid in cash. There is no contingent purchase consideration.

The business is concentrated to the Oslo area. The acquisitions strengthen the operation in Norway and provide an opportunity to achieve considerable synergies. As a result of the acquisitions, it will be possible to restructure Bilia's operation in Oslo to efficient stand-alone dealerships for both BMW and Volvo.

The goodwill item is mainly attributable to synergies in new car sales to corporate customers and cost savings in purchasing and administration.

Acquisition-related expenses amount to SEK 0.2 M and consist of fees to consultants for due diligence. These expenses have been recognised as "Other operating expenses" in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Parent Company

Bilia AB is responsible for the Group's management, strategic planning, financing, purchasing, public relations and business development. Furthermore, Bilia AB conducts training, real estate and IT activities, mainly for companies in the Group.

The Parent Company's operating loss for the first quarter amounted to SEK 10 M (loss: 11).

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. The economic turbulence in the world may reduce demand 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 2011 Annual Report.

Operating segments

As from 1 January 2012, the Fuel Business has been separated from the Service Business. The purpose of this change is to further clarify how turnover and earnings are divided between service and fuel. Fuel is now reported as a separate segment and is followed up for the Group as a whole, not by country. Fuel was previously included in the Service Business.

The Parent Company and eliminations are reported under segment reconciliation.

Accounting principles

This interim report in summary for the Group has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and applicable provisions of the Annual Accounts Act. The interim report for the Parent Company has been prepared in accordance with Chapter 9 of the Annual Accounts Act, Interim Reports. The same accounting policies and calculation methods have been applied for the Group and the Parent Company as in the most recent annual report. The changes that have entered into force and apply for financial year 2012 have not had any effect on the Consolidated or Parent Company financial statements.

Audit

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

Next report

The interim report for the second quarter of 2012 will be published on 26 July 2012.
