quarter of this year and the same quarter last year. Operations in Sweden and Norway developed favourably and Norway reported the best quarterly earnings in history. The Service Business continued to develop very positively and reported better earnings than last year. The Car Business reported earnings on a level with last year. The order backlog of new cars declined but is still high compared with last year, and the Group's financial position is strong.

Fourth quarter 2013

Demand for cars and service was slightly better compared with both the third quarter of this year and the same quarter last year.

Net turnover amounted to SEK 4,878 M (4,534). For comparable operations and adjusted for exchange rate changes, net turnover increased by about SEK 445 M or 10 per cent. The increase is attributable to sales of both cars and service.

Operating profit amounted to SEK 157 M (112). If items affecting comparability are excluded, the profit was SEK 159 M (139). The improvement is mainly attributable to the Service Business, which reported a profit that was SEK 20 M better than last year. The Car Business reported earnings on a level with last year. Underlying Group overheads increased by 5 per cent compared with last year. Overheads amounted to 12.9 per cent in relation to net turnover, which was 0.7 percentage point lower compared with last year. In view of the earnings level during the quarter, provision was made for employee bonuses of SEK 6 M (7).

Net financial items amounted to SEK -2 M (-4).

Tax for the period amounted to SEK -27 M (-32). No tax asset has been recognised on this quarter's and last year's deficits in Denmark.

Profit for the period was SEK 128 M (76) and earnings per share SEK 5.15 (3.10). Exchange rate changes reduced the profit by SEK 2 M.

Total assets increased by SEK 311 M to SEK 6,095 M. The increase is mainly attributable to higher trade receivables and more new and used cars in stock.

Equity increased by SEK 226 M, amounting to SEK 1,823 M. The equity/assets ratio amounted to 30 per cent (27).

Acquisition of non-current assets amounted to SEK 35 M (50). Replacement investments represented SEK 10 M (13), expansion investments SEK 16 M (16), environmental investments SEK 1 M (2) and investments in new construction and additions to properties SEK 7 M (18), while finance leases amounted to SEK 1 M (1).

Operating cash flow amounted to SEK -174 M (-20). After acquisition of operations and change in interest-bearing receivables, cash flow amounted to SEK -162 M (22). The negative cash flow is attributable to increased capital tied up in car stocks and trade receivables. Net debt increased by SEK 48 M during the quarter, amounting to SEK 409 M.

Liquidity remains good, and at the end of December a positive bank balance of SEK 49 M was reported. The combined credit limit with Nordea and DNB amounts to SEK 900 M. In December, the company's credit agreements with the banks were extended until November 2016.

The number of employees increased by 31 during the quarter and amounts to 3,401 persons.

Full year 2013

Demand for cars was on a level with last year, while demand for service was slightly lower.

Net turnover amounted to SEK 17,656 M (17,662). For comparable operations and adjusted for exchange rate changes, net turnover increased by about SEK 125 M or 1 per cent.

Operating profit amounted to SEK 368 M (270). If items affecting comparability are excluded, the profit was SEK 395 M (331). The improvement is attributable to the Service Business, which reported much better earnings due mainly to higher turnover and slightly lower costs. The Car Business reported lower earnings due to higher relative costs in sales of new cars. Underlying Group overheads increased by 1 per cent compared with last year. In view of the earnings level during the year, provision was made for employee bonuses of SEK 16 M (12).

Net financial items amounted to SEK -1 M (-17). The improvement is attributable to higher earnings from associated companies, SEK 35 M (19). A change in the income tax rate in Sweden to 22 per cent accounts for about SEK 14 M of the improvement in earnings from associated companies.

Tax for the year amounted to SEK -77 M (-97). No tax asset has been recognised on this quarter's and last year's deficits in Denmark. Last year's tax was affected by the fact that the tax asset attributable to unutilised loss carryforwards was written down to SEK 0.

Net profit for the year was SEK 290 M (156) and earnings per share SEK 11.70 (6.30). Exchange rate changes reduced the profit by SEK 4 M.

Total assets increased by SEK 253 M to SEK 6,095 M. The increase is mainly attributable to more new cars in stock and to cash and cash equivalents.

Equity increased by SEK 237 M, amounting to SEK 1,823 M. Dividends were paid to shareholders in the amount of SEK 148 M.

Bilia's financial goals were met, according to the following. Operating margin 2.1 per cent (goal 2.2), return on capital employed 17.7 per cent (goal 14.0) and return on equity 17.0 per cent (goal 15.0).

  • Strong earnings in Norway
  • Higher order backlog

The market for new cars increased during the quarter by 11 per cent in Denmark and 8 per cent in Norway, while it remained unchanged in Sweden.

The Group reported an operating profit, excluding items affecting comparability, of SEK 159 M (139) during the quarter and an operating margin of 3.2 per cent (3.0). The earnings improvement is mainly attributable to higher turnover in the Service Business. The Car Business reported a profit that was SEK 2 M lower than last year. The order backlog declined during the quarter by 920 cars to 6,023 cars, but the order backlog is 1,140 cars higher compared with last year.

The operation in Sweden reported an operating profit of SEK 125 M (131), with an operating margin of 4.0 per cent (4.5). The Service Business developed very positively and reported earnings that were SEK 16 M better compared with last year. The improvement is attributable to higher sales and lower relative costs. The Car Business reported a profit that was SEK 24 M lower than last year. The decrease is mainly attributable to lower gross profit margin and higher relative costs in new car sales.

Operating profit in Bilia's Norwegian operation amounted to SEK 52 M (28) and the operating margin to 3.6 per cent (2.1). This was the best quarterly profit ever reported in the history of the company. The Car Business reported a profit that was SEK 20 M better than last year's. The improvement is mainly attributable to higher turnover and lower relative costs in new car sales. In addition to the order backlog of 1,245 cars, orders have been received for 300 BMW i3 electric cars, which are being handled according to a new sales model where Bilia is the agent for BMW and receives a sales commission at the time of delivery. Earnings in the Service Business improved by SEK 4 M, mainly due to an increase in underlying turnover by 7 per cent.

The Danish operation reported an operating loss of SEK 5 M (loss: 8). Earnings in the Service Business were slightly better than last year. Turnover declined by 12 per cent, while costs declined by 13 per cent. The Car Business also reported slightly better earnings than last year, mainly due to a higher gross profit margin in sales of new cars. Altogether, overheads in the Danish operation decreased by SEK 4 M or 7 per cent compared with last year.

Adjusted turnover 8.0 7.2 -12.5 6.5 4.8 3.7 -14.5 3.0

The trend has been positive in the Service Business, and the year finished with very strong growth. Slightly improved demand, together with a focus on older cars, service agreements, add-on sales and more deliveries of new cars explain the increase in Sweden and Norway. The decline in turnover in Denmark is attributable to extensive structural measures carried out during 2012, when three of eight facilities were closed. The quarter contained the same number of working days in all countries as last year.

The Car Business's deliveries of new cars increased during the quarter for comparable operations by 11 per cent and deliveries of used cars by 8 per cent. Orders received for new cars increased by 8 per cent compared with last year. Earnings from sales of new cars were on a level with last year. Turnover was higher, while the gross profit margin was at a lower level than last year. More deliveries of new cars during the quarter resulted in more traded-in used cars and thereby higher stocks. Activities have been compared for the purpose of reducing stocks, which resulted in a loss being reported for sales of used cars during the quarter.

Stocks of used cars increased despite all efforts during the quarter, but are at acceptable levels, except in Norway. The turnover rate for used cars remained at a high level, however, amounted to 9.4 times per year.

The Fuel Business is concentrated to Sweden, and earnings amounted so SEK 7 M (4). The improvement is attributable to a higher gross profit margin.

All values in the above graphs pertain to isolated quarters.

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 2012 Annual Report.

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, with the following exceptions.

The revised IAS 19 Employee benefits applies as from 1 January 2013. As a result of the change, the corridor method is no longer applied. Actuarial gains and losses are recognised in Other comprehensive income with cumulative effect in equity. Return on plan assets is based on the discount rate used to calculate the pension liability and is included in the net profit for the year. The difference between real and calculated return on plan assets is recognised in other comprehensive income. This change entailed a change in accounting policy for Bilia. Changes in accounting policies are applied retrospectively, which means that the 2012 figures have been recalculated in the report for the first quarter of 2013.

Interest-bearing liabilities for the full year 2012 have increased by SEK 175 M, and the effect on equity of previously unrecognised actuarial losses, after special payroll tax and deferred tax have been taken into account, amounts to SEK 167 M, consisting of a reduction in the opening value as of 1 January 2012 by SEK 177 M and a positive earnings effect of SEK 10 M.

Events after the balance sheet date

On 20 January 2014, Bilia concluded an agreement with Toyota Sweden Holding AB to acquire Toyota's operation in Malmö, Trelleborg and Lund. The date of possession will be 1 March 2014.

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 29 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 fair value is marginal, as the currency derivatives do not represent a significant item. The valuation has affected the result 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.
