Notable events during 2015

  • Bilia's Board of Directors decided in March that the operation in Denmark will be sold or shut down. The background of the decision was that the operation has been reporting a loss for a long time and that the competition from other dealers in the Copenhagen area who sell the same brands has increased in recent years. The cost of selling or shutting down the operation is estimated at about SEK 150 M after tax. The sale or closure will have only a marginal effect on cash flow.
  • 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 operation represents approximately 8 per cent of Toyota's and 24 per cent of Lexus's total new car sales in Norway. The preliminary purchase consideration amounted to SEK 201 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.

First quarter 2015

The decision to sell or shut down Bilia's Danish operation is being handled in the accounts as from the first quarter of 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 profit/loss from the operation has been recognised on the line "Loss from discontinued operation, net after tax".

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

Net turnover amounted to SEK 4,715 M (4,291). For comparable operations and adjusted for exchange rate changes, net turnover increased by about SEK 315 M or 7 per cent. The increase is attributable to sales of both cars and service.

Operating profit amounted to SEK 157 M (101). If items affecting comparability are excluded, the profit was SEK 153 M (101). The improvement is attributable to both the Car and Service Businesses. Underlying Group overheads increased by about 5 per cent compared with last year. Overheads amounted to 13.0 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 quarter, provision was made for employee bonuses of SEK 8 M (4).

Net financial items amounted to SEK-3 M (-5). The improvement compared with last year is mainly attributable to lower net debt during the quarter.

Tax for the period amounted to SEK-29 M (-14). The tax expense for the quarter was reduced by SEK 5 M due to a booked tax asset attributable to value increases on endowment policies. At the same time, operating profit has been charged with SEK 5 M in special payroll tax.

Net profit for the period for continuing operations amounted to SEK 125 M (82) and earnings per share SEK 4.90 (3.25). Exchange rate changes affected the profit marginally.

Loss from discontinued operation, net after tax, amounted to SEK 102 M (loss: 8). The loss consists of the net loss of SEK 4 M from the Danish operation during the first quarter plus an estimated loss on disposal of SEK 98 M. Negotiations are being held with a number of potential purchasers regarding parts of the Danish operation, and we are optimistic that it will be possible to dispose of parts of the operation during the second quarter of 2015.

Profit for the period was SEK 23 M (74) and earnings per share SEK 0.90 (2.95). Exchange rate changes reduced the profit by SEK 6 M.

Total assets increased by SEK 366 M, amounting to SEK 7,321 M. The increase was mainly attributable to the acquisition of the Toyota operation in Norway.

Equity decreased by SEK 89 M, amounting to SEK 1,760 M. Equity has been affected by a revaluation of the pension liability by SEK-118 M. The equity/assets ratio amounted to 24 per cent (31).

Acquisition of non-current assets amounted to SEK 38 M (92). Replacement investments represented SEK 12 M (16), expansion investments SEK 4 M (10), environmental investments SEK 1 M (0) and investments in new construction and additions to properties SEK 19 M (65), while finance leases amounted to SEK 2 M (1).

Operating cash flow amounted to SEK 121 M (24). After acquisitions and disposals of operations and change in interest-bearing receivables, cash flow amounted to SEK-26 M (-1). Net debt increased by SEK 162 M during the quarter, amounting to SEK 92 M. Net debt has increased due to the acquisition of the Toyota operation in Norway by about SEK 215 M and revaluation of the pension liability by SEK 151 M.

Liquidity remains good, and at the end of March a positive bank balance of SEK 497 M was reported. The combined credit limit with Nordea and DNB amounts to SEK 900 M.

The number of employees increased by 185 during the quarter and amounts to 3,706 persons. The increase is mainly attributable to sales and acquisition of operations in Norway.

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 quaranteed 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.

2:1 Stock split

The 2015 Annual General Meeting has 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 is 28 May 2015. Shareholders do not have to take any action to participate in the stock split.

The stock split entails that the exercise price for Bilia's 2009/2016 warrants will be SEK 10. Following the stock split, each warrant will entitle the holder to 2 Bilia shares.

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.

The interim report for the second quarter of 2015 will be published on 23 July 2015.

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 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.
