Notable events during 2015

Second quarter

  • During the month of June, Bilia reached an agreement to acquire Kaiser Bil AB, a Lexus dealer. The business is run from four facilities in Stockholm and Malmö and accounts for about 45 per cent of Lexus's total sales in Sweden. The date of possession will be 1 October 2015. The Kaiser Group's turnover in 2014 amounted to SEK 260 M and operating profit was SEK 9 M. The Kaiser Group's capital employed, plus agreed-on surplus values, amounts to about SEK 100 M.
  • Bilia concluded agreements on the sale of the operation in Denmark with several different buyers. At the end of the second quarter the buyers had taken possession of the operation in four of the facilities. The date of possession of the remaining operation in Nærum is 1 August 2015. The total cost of selling the Danish operation is estimated at about SEK 101 M after tax.
  • Bilia accepted an offer from Alecta to redeem the Swedish pension liability for ITP 2 as per 1 May 2015. As a result of the deal, the profit for the period was improved during the second quarter by SEK 154 M (operating profit SEK +197 M and tax SEK -43 M). The deal also had a net effect on other comprehensive income of SEK +21 M. The total effect on comprehensive income for the period was an increase of SEK 175 M, while net debt decreased by about SEK 180 M.
  • The 2015 Annual General Meeting passed a resolution to divide the company's outstanding shares so that each existing share is split into 2 new shares. The record date for the stock split was 28 May 2015. Due to the stock split, the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share has been adjusted retroactively for the reported periods.

First quarter

  • Bilia's Board of Directors decided in March that the operation in Denmark was to be sold or shut down.
  • In January, Bilia concluded an agreement to acquire all the shares in Toyota Hell Bil AS and Toyota Horten Tønsberg AS. The business is run from seven rented facilities and is concentrated to Trondheim and Tønsberg outside Oslo. Annual turnover is about SEK 1.0 bn, and for the past 4 years the business has reported an operating profit of about SEK 25 M. The official date of possession was 2 March 2015.

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

The decision to sell or shut down Bilia's Danish operation is being handled in the accounts as from 2015 as a discontinued operation. The operation's operating profit and an estimated loss on disposal are recognised as an item in the Income Statement under "Discontinued operation". The Group's comparison figures have been adjusted, whereby Bilia's Danish operation has been adjusted from all line items and only net profit/loss from the operation has been recognised on the line "Profit/loss from discontinued operation, net after tax".

Second quarter 2015

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

Net turnover amounted to SEK 5,381 M (4,819). For comparable operations and adjusted for exchange rate changes, net turnover increased by about SEK 370 M or 8 per cent. The increase is attributable to sales of both cars and service.

Operating profit amounted to SEK 384 M (126). If items affecting comparability are excluded, the profit was SEK 187 M (126). The improvement is mainly attributable to the Service Business and sales of used cars. Underlying Group overheads increased by about 4 per cent compared with last year. Overheads amounted to 12.4 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 (5).

Net financial items amounted to SEK-1 M (-4). The improvement compared with last year is mainly attributable to lower net debt during the quarter.

Tax for the period amounted to SEK-87 M (-23), which is equivalent to a tax rate of 23 per cent.

Net profit for the period for continuing operations amounted to SEK 296 M (99) and earnings per share to SEK 5.85 (1.95). Exchange rate changes affected the profit marginally.

Profit from discontinued operation, net after tax, amounted to SEK 1 M (loss: 12). The profit stems partly from the operation's earnings during the quarter and partly from adjustment of the provision that was estimated in the first-quarter accounts. Agreements have been reached with four different buyers on sale of the operations in all five facilities. The date of possession for the operations in four of the facilities was 1 June 2015, while the date of possession for the remaining facility will be 1 August 2015.

Profit for the period was SEK 297 M (87) and earnings per share SEK 5.90 (1.70). Exchange rate changes reduced the profit by SEK 1 M.

Total assets decreased by SEK 351 M, amounting to SEK 6,970 M. The decrease is mainly attributable to cash and cash equivalents.

Equity increased by SEK 5 M, amounting to SEK 1,765 M. Dividends of SEK 302 M were paid to the shareholders. The equity/assets ratio amounted to 25 per cent (28).

Acquisition of non-current assets amounted to SEK 38 M (33). Replacement investments represented SEK 12 M (10), expansion investments SEK 8 M (12), environmental investments SEK 2 M (0) and investments in new construction and additions to properties SEK 16 M (6), while finance leases amounted to SEK 0 M (5).

Operating cash flow amounted to SEK 198 M (118). After acquisitions and disposals of operations and change in interest-bearing receivables, cash flow amounted to SEK 204 M (104). Net debt decreased by SEK 17 M during the quarter, amounting to SEK 75 M. Net debt was reduced by SEK 302 M by the dividend payment and increased by about SEK 180 M by redemption of the pension liability.

Liquidity remains good, and at the end of June a debt to the banks of SEK 306 M was reported. The combined credit limit with Nordea and DNB amounts to SEK 900 M.

The number of employees declined by 115 during the quarter to 3,591 persons. The change is attributable to Denmark, where the number of employees decreased by 147 during the quarter.

First six months 2015

Net turnover amounted to SEK 10,096 M (9,110). For comparable operations and adjusted for exchange rate changes, net turnover increased by about SEK 690 M or 8 per cent. The increase is attributable to sales of both cars and service.

Operating profit amounted to SEK 541 M (227). If items affecting comparability are excluded. the profit was SEK 340 M (227). The improvement is attributable to both the Car and Service Businesses. Underlying Group overheads increased by about 4 per cent compared with last year. Overheads amounted to 12.7 per cent in relation to net turnover, which was 0.3 percentage point lower compared with last year. In view of the earnings level during the first six months, provision was made for employee bonuses of SEK 13 M (9).

Net financial items amounted to SEK -4 M (-9). The improvement compared with last year is mainly attributable to lower net debt.

Tax for the period amounted to SEK-116 M (-37), which is equivalent to a tax rate of 22 per cent.

Net profit for the period for continuing operations amounted to SEK 421 M (181) and earnings per share to SEK 8.35 (3.60). Exchange rate changes affected the profit marginally.

Loss from discontinued operation, net after tax, amounted to SEK 101 M (loss: 20). The loss stems partly from the operation's loss during the first six months and partly from an estimated loss on disposal. Most of the operation has been disposed of, but the estimated loss on disposal may be adjusted during the second half of 2015.

Profit for the period was SEK 320 M (161) and earnings per share SEK 6.35 (3.20). Exchange rate changes reduced the profit by SEK 7 M.

Acquisition of non-current assets amounted to SEK 76 M (125). Replacement investments represented SEK 24 M (26), expansion investments SEK 12 M (22), environmental investments SEK 3 M (0) and investments in new construction and additions to properties SEK 35 M (71), while finance leases amounted to SEK 2 M (6).

Operating cash flow amounted to SEK 319 M (142). After acquisitions and disposals of operations and change in interest-bearing receivables, cash flow amounted to SEK 178 M (103). Net debt increased by SEK 145 M during the first six months, amounting to SEK 75 M.

The Service Business reported a profit that was SEK 27 M better, and the Car Business reported a profit that was SEK 29 M better, compared with last year.

Sales of used cars developed very positively and the profit improved by SEK 19 M, due to higher turnover, a higher gross profit margin and lower relative costs. Deliveries of new cars increased by only 1 per cent, due mainly to the fact that Bilia's deliveries of Volvo cars were at a very high level during the second quarter of last year. The Service Business reported a profit that was SEK 10 M better than last year. The improvement is mainly attributable to higher turnover.

The operating profit in Bilia's Norwegian operation amounted to SEK 54 M (32) and the operating margin to 3.3 per cent (2.5). The improvement is mainly attributable to the Service Business, which reported a profit that was SEK 17 M better than last year. The implementation of the Personal Service Technician concept, which was introduced in 2012, has developed positively with both higher customer satisfaction and improved earnings. The operating margin improved during the quarter, amounting to 9.6 per cent, due mainly to higher turnover and lower relative costs. The Car Business reported a profit that was SEK 5 M better than last year. The improvement is attributable to used cars sales, which reported strong earnings during the quarter, due mainly to increased turnover and a higher gross profit margin. Stocks of used cars remained unchanged during the quarter and are at a good level. The integration of the Toyota operation, which is included in the Group as from March 2015, developed very positively during the second 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 quaranteed 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 2014 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. New IFRS's that became effective during the year have not had any significant effect on the Group's or the Parent Company's financial reports.

Non-current assets (or disposal groups) are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than from continuing use. An asset (or disposal group) is classified as held for sale if it is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets (or disposal groups) and its sale must be highly probable. These assets (or disposal groups) are recognised on a separate line as current assets or current liabilities in the Statement of Financial Position. On initial classification as held for sale, non-current assets (and disposal groups) are recognised at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. A discontinued operation is a component of the Group's business that represents a separate business segment or major line of business within a geographical area of operations or a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale. Classification as a discontinued operation occurs upon disposal or, if earlier, when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale.

Profit or loss after tax from a discontinued operation is reported on a separate line in the Statement of Income and Other Comprehensive Income. When an operation is classified as discontinued, the presentation of the Consolidated Statement of Income and Other Comprehensive Income for the comparative year is changed so that the discontinued operation is recognised as if it had been discontinued at the start of the comparative year. The presentation of the Statement of Financial Position for the current and preceding year is not changed in a corresponding manner.

Events after the end of the report period

No significant events have occurred after the end of the report period.

Audit

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

Next report

The interim report for the third quarter of 2015 will be published on 23 October 2015.

This interim 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.

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.
