  • On 20 January 2014, Bilia concluded an agreement with Toyota Sweden Holding AB on the acquisition of a property company and Toyota's operation in Malmö, Trelleborg and Lund. The date of possession was 1 March 2014. The purchase consideration totalled SEK 77 M, of which the dealership operation accounted for SEK 43 M and the property company SEK 34 M. An interest-bearing loan in the property company of SEK 27 M was settled when Bilia took possession, which means that the Bilia Group's capital employed and net debt increased by SEK 104 M as an effect of the acquisition.

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

Third quarter 2014

Demand for cars and service was on a level with the second quarter of 2014. Demand for cars was slightly better than for the same quarter last year, while demand for service was on a level with last vear.

Net turnover amounted to SEK 4,531 M (4,155). For comparable operations and adjusted for exchange rate changes, net turnover increased by about SEK 270 M or 7 per cent. The increase is mainly attributable to car sales.

Operating profit amounted to SEK 132 M (76). If items affecting comparability are excluded, the profit was SEK 119 M (96). The improvement is entirely attributable to the Car Business, which reported a profit that was SEK 12 M better than last year. The Service Business reported a profit that was SEK 10 M better than last year. Underlying Group overheads increased by about 2 per cent compared with last year. Overheads amounted to 12.8 per cent in relation to net turnover, which was 0.4 percentage point lower compared with last year. In view of the earnings level during the quarter, provision was made for employee bonuses of SEK 5 M (6).

Net financial items amounted to SEK-5 M (-3). The negative trend compared with last year is mainly attributable to the fact that the pension liability in Sweden carries interest that is charged to net financial items at a rate of 5.8 per cent (4.1).

Tax for the period amounted to SEK-22 M (-19). The tax corresponds to a tax rate of 21 per cent (29) if the tax-free portion of the earnings of the associated companies and the gain from property sales are excluded.

Net profit for the period was SEK 105 M (54) and earnings per share SEK 4.15 (2.15). Exchange rate changes affected the profit marginally.

Total assets increased by SEK 185 M during the quarter, amounting to SEK 6,459 M. The increase was attributable to cash and cash equivalents, which increased by SEK 522 M. Stocks of cars were at a very low level at the end of the quarter and are expected to increase during the fourth quarter of 2014.

Equity increased by SEK 65 M, amounting to SEK 1,805 M. Equity has been charged with a revaluation of defined-benefit pension plans by SEK 48 M. The revaluation of the pension liability is recognised under "Other comprehensive income/loss". The equity/assets ratio amounted to 28 per cent (28).

Acquisition of non-current assets amounted to SEK 28 M (15). Replacement investments represented SEK 6 M (2), expansion investments SEK 11 M (8), environmental investments SEK 1 M (1) and investments in new construction and additions to properties SEK 8 M (2), while finance leases amounted to SEK 2 M (2).

Operating cash flow amounted to SEK 597 M (29). After acquisitions and disposals of operations and change in interest-bearing receivables, cash flow amounted to SEK 605 M (54). Property sales increased cash flow by SEK 72 M. Net debt decreased by SEK 562 M during the quarter, amounting to SEK 9 M.

Liquidity remains good, and at the end of September a positive bank balance of SEK 590 M was reported. The combined credit limit with Nordea and DNB amounts to SEK 900 M.

The number of employees declined by 27 during the quarter to 3,505 persons.

• Strong earnings in Sweden

• Higher order backlog

During the quarter, the market for new cars increased by 10 per cent in Sweden, decreased by 1 per cent in Norway and was unchanged in Denmark.

The Group reported an operating profit, excluding items affecting comparability, of SEK 119 M (96) and an operating margin of 2.6 per cent (2.3) during the third quarter. The Service Business reported a profit that was SEK 10 M better, while the Car Business reported a profit that was SEK 12 M better, compared with last year. The order backlog increased by 748 cars during the quarter to 7,644 cars.

The operation in Sweden reported an operating profit of SEK 108 M (86), with an operating margin of 3.5 per cent (3.1). The Car Business reported a profit that was SEK 14 M better than last year. The improvement is mainly attributable to higher sales of both new and used cars and to a slightly higher gross profit margin. The Service Business reported a profit that was SEK 7 M better than last year. The improvement is mainly attributable to higher turnover.

Operating profit in Bilia's Norwegian operation amounted to SEK 21 M (21) and the operating margin to 1.7 per cent (1.8). The Service Business reported a profit that was SEK 1 M higher than last year, while the Car Business reported a profit that was SEK 1 M lower. Earnings from sales of new cars declined by SEK 2 M, while earnings from sales of used cars increased by SEK 1 M. The stock of used cars was on a good level.

The Danish operation reported an operating loss of SEK 4 M (loss: 5). The improvement compared with last vear is attributable to the Service Business, Lower turnover in the Service Business was offset by lower costs. Competition from other dealers in the Copenhagen area who represent the same brands as Bilia continues to increase, squeezing gross profit margins and earnings in both the Car and Service Businesses.

Acquisition of operation 2014

Toyota's dealership operation in Malmö, Trelleborg and Lund

On 1 March 2014, Bilia acquired Toyota's dealership operation in Malmö, Trelleborg and Lund. The business generates an annual turnover of about SEK 350 M a year, with an average operating margin of 1.1 per cent. The purchase consideration amounted to SEK 43 M. The entire purchase consideration was paid in cash. There is no contingent purchase consideration.

Through the acquisition Bilia can enlarge its offer with the Toyota brand, belonging to one of the world's most successful automakers. It is further hoped that the acquisition will create opportunities for Bilia to grow with Toyota in the countries where Bilia does business.

The acquisition is expected to give rise to synergies valued at about SEK 3 M per year, with full effect from 2015. The business has 77 employees and will continue to be operated from the present-day facilities.

There are no external transaction costs or acquisition-related expenses attributable to the acquisition.

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.
  • Reduced demand for service and repairs.
  • Increased competition in the markets where Bilia is active.
  • The ability of suppliers to offer competitive products.
  • Automotive suppliers become insolvent or terminate retailer agreements with Bilia.
  • 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 2013 Annual Report.

Review report

To the Board of Directors of Bilia AB (publ), Corp. ID no. 556112-5690

Introduction

We have reviewed the interim financial information in summary (the interim report) for Bilia AB (publ) as per 30 September 2014 and the nine-month period that ended on this date. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion regarding this interim financial information based on our review.

Aim and scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information 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 has a different aim and is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Standards on Auditing in Sweden, RS and other generally accepted auditing practices. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain a level of assurance that would make us aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Therefore, the conclusion expressed based on a review does not give the same level of assurance as a conclusion expressed based on an audit.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim financial information has not, in all material respects, been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Reports Act with regard to the Group and in accordance with the Annual Reports Act with regard to the Parent Company.

Fair value of financial instruments

The carrying amount of financial instruments corresponds to the fair value, with the exception of debenture loans. The fair value of debenture loans amounts to SEK 28 M.

Fair value is determined on the basis of the following three levels:

  • Level 1: according to prices quoted on an active market for the same instrument.
  • Level 2: based on directly or indirectly observable market inputs other than those included in level 1.
  • Level 3: according to inputs not based on observable market data.

Currency derivatives that belong to financial assets and liabilities, valuation level 2, have per year-end been valuated to fair value. The value of the currency derivatives is not material and does not constitute an significant item. Fair value measurement has reduced earnings by SEK 0 M.

Calculation of fair value

The fair value of currency derivatives is determined on the basis of market rates. If such rates are not available, the fair value is calculated by discounting the difference between the contracted forward rate and the forward rate that can be obtained on the balance sheet date for the remaining contract period.
