Bong is one of the leading providers of envelope products in Europe that also offers solutions for distribution and packaging of information, advertising materials and lightweight goods. Important growth areas in the Group are packaging within retail and e-commerce and the envelope market within Eastern Europe. The Group has annual sales of approximately SEK 2.2 billion and about 1,300 employees in 14 countries. Bong has strong market positions in most of the important markets in Europe and the Group sees interesting possibilities for continued development. Bong is a public limited company and its shares are listed on Nasdaq Stockholm (Small Cap).

Health and safety of our employees, customers and business partners have highest priority for us in this difficult situation. We have taken early action and measures to protect them while ensuring business continuity under these unprecedented conditions, says Bong's CEO Kai Steigleder.
Bong's performance in the envelope segment in the first quarter of 2020 is already impacted by the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. Until End of February the envelope segment was largely unaffected from Covid-19 and developed in line with the general market trend for envelopes.
Since Mid-March however the overall trend in terms of sales and earnings has clearly been negative because of the state mandated shutdown in most countries. Bong was confronted with very varying situations in the different countries.
Bong's Light packaging development is also impacted by the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. Nevertheless the positive trend continued during 2020 with an overall currency adjusted sales increase of 7,5% in the first quarter.
Especially the positive development of Paper Carrier Bags continued and sales has increased at a currency adjusted rate of 57%. The expected positive trend in Retail Gift Bags did not continue as a result of Covid-19 while other paper products such as All Board were developing at a good rate due to higher demand in e-commerce packaging.
The increasing need for e-commerce packaging will continue in 2020. We expect increased sales in this segment in 2020 with our new e-commerce packaging range, which is tailored to the needs of internet retailers and consumers.
The Group's currency-adjusted sales decreased by 14% compared with previous year also due to the Covid-19 effect. Bong's gross margin has slightly improved compared to last year. Operating profit decreased to SEK 5 million (15). The operating profit in Q1 2020 was affected negatively by restructuring cost of SEK 2 million (0) and an impairment of Goodwill of SEK 4 million (0) related to the closure of the envelope production in Estonia.
Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 18 million (44). Adjusted net debt/adjusted EBITDA according to Bong's Bond loan amounts to 1.66, note 10.
The move of envelope production in Estonia to our production sites in Sweden, Poland and Germany will be finalized according to plan in Q2 2020.
Across all business units and functions, Bong is responding to the crisis triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic with specific measures. Nevertheless it is currently not possible to predict with sufficient reliability over what period and to what extent Bong will face further impacts in 2020.
Bong assumes responsibility for its 1,300 employees and their families. In order to secure jobs and the company's economic sustainability we are evaluating all possible options and take appropriate measures. This includes short-time work and other possibilities provided by governments in the different countries.
The past weeks have demonstrated that together we can and will succeed during this difficult time. I am particularly thanking all our hard working employees in production as well as in other departments who are ensuring our vital infrastructure and serve our customers.
Chief Executive Officer

January – March 2020
Consolidated sales for the period reached SEK 518 million (571). Exchange rate fluctuations had a positive impact on sales of SEK 12 million (20) compared with 2019.
Operating profit decreased to SEK 5 million (15). The Group's gross margin has stabilized and is on the same level as previous year. During the period operating profit was affected positively by a realized capital gain of SEK 3 million (1) attributable to the sale of machines. Operating profit was also affected negatively by restructuring costs of 2 MSEK and write-down of goodwill of SEK 4 million attributable to the closure of operations in Estonia. Exchange rate fluctuations for the period had a positive impact on operating profit of SEK 0.1 million (1).
Net financial items for the period amounted to SEK -8 million (-11).
Earnings before tax amounted to SEK -3 million (5) and reported earnings after tax were SEK -7 million (2).
Bong's total light packaging sales amounted to SEK 116 million (106). Currency fluctuations had a positive impact on light packaging sales of SEK 3 million (4) compared with the corresponding period in 2019.
The cash flow after investing activities decreased to SEK 14 million (42) compared to previous year. Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital amounted to SEK 8 million (23). Working capital had a positive impact on the cash flow of SEK 10 million (21).
Restructuring programs had negative impact on the cash flow of SEK -6 million (-3). Net investments in the period had a negative impact amounting to SEK -4 million (-2).
Net investments include, for instance, machines for production of light packaging products which will be installed during the second quarter and then be transferred to leasing and have a positive impact on the cash flow of approximately SEK 5 million. Repurchase of bonds was made during the first quarter to the nominal value of SEK 10 million which had a negative impact on the cash flow of SEK 9 million.
Cash and cash equivalents at 31 March 2020 amounted to SEK 94 million (SEK 101 million at 31 December 2019, including the escrow account of SEK 0 million). The Group had unutilized credit facilities of SEK 13 million on the same date. Total available cash and cash equivalents thus amounted to SEK 107 million (SEK 115 million at 31 December 2019). Consolidated equity at
the end of March 2020 was SEK 558 million (SEK 529 million at 31 December 2019).
Translation of the net asset value of foreign subsidiaries to Swedish Krona and changes in the fair value of pension debt and derivative instruments increased consolidated equity by SEK 36 million. The interest bearing net loan debt amounted to SEK 490 million, whereof pension debt amounts to SEK 235 million and IFRS 16 leasing contracts amount to SEK 152 million (SEK 506 million at 31 December 2019, whereof pension debt amounts to SEK 239 million).
The average number of employees during the period was 1,259 (1,377). The Group had 1,260 (1,376) employees at the end of March 2020. Bong has intensively worked on improving productivity and adjusting staff to meet current demand and the reduction is the result of the implemented restructuring measures.
The Parent Company's business extends to management of operating subsidiaries and certain Group management functions. Sales were SEK 0.9 million (0.8) and earnings before tax for the period were SEK -2 million (-3).
A number of different measures have been taken at Bong to mitigate the short and long term effects of the corona virus, with health and safety for employees and customers as the highest priority. We follow the development carefully and adjust our measures according to local authorities' advice and regulations, while we strive to mitigate any disruptions to the Group's operations. Bong estimates that the risk of negative financial impact from the end of March has increased. During April the development in terms of sales and earnings especially in our operations in UK and France has been drastically negative caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. Bong will monitor the development to assess any effects on the valuation of goodwill or on non-financial assets or financial assets. It is currently not possible to predict with sufficient reliability over what period and to what extent Bong will face further impacts in 2020 and upcoming years including write-offs due to impairments of assets and goodwill.
Business risks for the Bong Group are primarily related to market development and various types of financial risks. There has not been any change to significant risks and uncertain positions since Bong's annual report for 2019 was released except for the Covid-19 pandemic. For further information, please refer to Bong's annual report and website bong.com.
This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Application was consistent with the accounting principles outlined in the 2019 annual report and the interim report should be read along with those principles.
