Componenta’s liquidity situation has remained satisfactory. At the end of June, cash in bank and hand was MEUR 14.7. Unused, committed credit facilities at the end of June were EUR 23.0 million. In addition, the Group has a EUR 150 million commercial paper programme, from which the company had no debt at the end of the review period.

The Group’s interest-bearing net debt, excluding the outstanding capital notes of EUR 27.9 million, stood at EUR 206.9 (221.3) million. The company’s net debt as a proportion of shareholders’ equity, including the capital notes in the shareholders’ equity, was 192.4% (232.9%).

Componenta’s net cash flow from operations during the review period was EUR 15.6 (10.5) million, and of this the change in net working capital was EUR 10.9 (22.2) million. Componenta is making more efficient use of capital with a programme to sell its trade receivables. Under this arrangement, some of the trade receivables are sold without any right of recourse. By the end of June the company had sold trade receivables totalling EUR 57.6 (27.2) million. Mainly because of selling of trade receivables, only moderate changes in the net working capital are expected regardless the significantly increasing sales.

At the end of the review period the Group’s equity ratio was 18.2% (13.3%). The Group’s shareholders’ equity on 30 June 2010, including the capital notes in shareholders’ equity, as a proportion of the balance sheet total was 24.5% (24.1%).

Investments

Investments in production facilities in the review period were EUR 3.4 (7.1) million, of which finance lease investments accounted for EUR 0.0 (1.7) million. The cash flow from investments was EUR -5.5 (-6.8) million, which includes the cash flow from the Group’s investments in tangible and intangible assets, the cash flow from shares sold and purchased, and from tangible assets sold.

Componenta has clearly limited the number of investments in production facilities due to current low utilization rate of capacity. Investments in production facilities in 2010 are expected to halve from the previous year.

Performance of operations

Componenta’s reporting structure was changed on 1 February 2010 when the Group organized its divisions into country-based operations. The figures for the first half of the year 2010 have been reported in accordance with the new structure, and all figures for comparison for country-based operations for 2009 have been adjusted to bring them in line with this reporting structure.

Turkey operations

The operations in Turkey comprise the iron foundry and machine shop in Orhangazi and the aluminium foundry and production unit for aluminium wheels in Manisa.

Net sales in the review period rose 76% and were EUR 93.7 (53.3) million, and the operating profit was EUR 6.5 million, corresponding to 6.9% of net sales (EUR -0.0 million, -0.1%). The good improvement in volumes especially in the construction and mining machinery and automotive industries boosted the operating profit in the review period. However, the operating profit was hurt by the rapid increase in raw material prices (EUR 3.1 million) and exchange rate losses (EUR 1.1 million).

Net sales in the second quarter were EUR 53.1 (28.4) million and operating profit EUR 3.3 million, corresponding to 6.2% of net sales (EUR 0.4 million, 1.3%). Increases in raw material prices and exchange rate losses weakened the operating profit by EUR 2.8 million.

Finland operations

The operations in Finland consist of the iron foundries in Iisalmi, Karkkila, Pietarsaari and Pori and the machine shops in Lempäälä and Pietarsaari. The operations also include the production unit for pistons in Pietarsaari.

Net sales in the review period were EUR 47.9 (48.6) million, and the operating profit was EUR 0.1 million, corresponding to 0.2% of net sales (EUR -0.7 million, -1.4%). The operating profit for the review period improved due to cost adaptation measures that were implemented during the second half of 2009 and rapidly increased production volumes especially in the heavy trucks industry. However, the operating profit was burdened by the rapid increase in raw material prices (MEUR 1.8).

Net sales in the second quarter were EUR 27.0 (19.5) million and operating profit EUR 0.7 million, corresponding to 2.5% of net sales (EUR -1.2 million, -6.1%). Increases in raw material prices affected the result by EUR -1.3 million.

The order book for the operations in Finland at the end of June was EUR 15.8 (10.4) million.

Holland operations

The operations in the Netherlands comprise the iron foundries in Heerlen and Weert, the machine shop operations in Weert and the pattern shop in Tegelen.

Net sales for the Holland operations were EUR 42.1 (39.7) million, and the operating profit was EUR 0.0 million, corresponding to 0.0% of net sales (EUR -6.8 million, -17.2%). The improvement in the operating profit for the review period from the previous year was particularly due to cost adaptation measures implemented earlier and increased production volumes. However, the operating profit was affected by MEUR -1.5 due to a rapid increase in raw material prices.

Second quarter net sales were EUR 23.4 (15.8) million and operating profit EUR 0.2 million, corresponding to 0.7% of net sales (EUR -2.7 million, -16.9%). Increases in raw material prices affected the result by EUR -1.1 million.

Sweden operations

The operations in Sweden comprise the Frammestad machine shop and the Wirsbo forge.

The operating loss for the operations in Sweden in the review period decreased from previous year due to reductions in operative costs and markedly higher production volumes especially in the heavy trucks industry. The operating profit was burdened by the exceptional peaks in energy prices during the first quarter.

Net sales in the second quarter were EUR 21.3 (9.5) million and operating profit was EUR 0.0 million, corresponding to 0.2% of net sales (EUR -1.7 million, -17.6%).

Lawsuits

On 9 June 2010 Componenta B.V. received a writ of summons of Wärtsilä Finland Oy in which Wärtsilä Finland Oy claims that Componenta B.V. shall pay compensations to Wärtsilä Finland Oy amounting to EUR 8.5 million due to certain defects discovered in components delivered to Wärtsilä Finland Oy by Componenta B.V. in 2008. Componenta B.V. considers the claims of Wärtsilä Finland Oy to be unfounded and Componenta B.V. will deny the claims.

Risks and business uncertainties

The most significant risks for Componenta are risks related to the business environment (competition and price risk, commodity and environmental risks), operational risks (customer and supplier risks, productivity, production and process risks, labour market disruptions, contract and product liability risks, personnel risks, and data security risks) as well as financial risks (financing and liquidity risk, currency, interest rate and credit risks).

In order to manage the Group's business operations it is essential to secure the availability of certain raw materials, such as recycled metal and pig iron, and energy, at competitive prices. The cost risk relating to raw materials is mainly managed with price agreements, and under these agreements the prices of products are adjusted in line with the changes in raw material prices. Increases in prices for raw materials may tie up more funds in working capital than estimated.

The financial risks relating to Componenta's business operations are managed in accordance with the treasury policy approved by the Board of Directors. The objective is to protect the Group against unfavourable changes in the finance markets and to secure the Group's financial performance and financial position.

Prospects

Componenta's prospects for 2010 are based on general external economic indicators, delivery forecasts given by customers, and on Componenta's order intake and order book.

The demand outlook in all of the Group's customer industries have further improved compared to the beginning of the year 2010. Customers' production volumes have improved also due to the fact that their inventory levels have normalized.

The demand for components of construction and mining industry has developed well during the first half of the year. This development is expected to continue in the second half of 2010 due to recent rise in raw material prices and economic recovery.

The demand for agricultural machinery has started to increase during the first half of the year especially in emerging markets.

Componenta's deliveries for the heavy trucks industry have significantly increased from the previous year. Volumes have increased due to normalized customer inventory levels and the good demand in the emerging markets. The good development is expected to continue during the second half of the year.

The number of passenger cars registered in Europe in January - June stayed at the same level as in the previous year. The registrations in 2010 are expected to remain below the level of 2009. Due to the increase in export of Turkish automotive industry and the good volume development in the demand for aluminium wheels, Componenta's deliveries to the automotive industry are expected to increase in the last part of 2010.

The demand in the wind power industry turned positive during the second quarter of the year. The demand is expected to continue good in the second half of 2010.

The demand in the machine building industry is expected to recover gradually during 2010.

Componenta's order book at the end of the second quarter in 2010 was 62% higher than at the same time in the previous year.

Exceptionally fast increases in raw material prices that took place during the first half of 2010 affected the result negatively by EUR 6.6 million. Those raw material prices however started to decrease at the end of the second quarter and are therefore expected to improve the Group's third quarter result.

Componenta Group's net sales in 2010 are expected to increase significantly and the result after financial items is expected to improve clearly from the previous year. The Group's cash flow from operations is expected to remain positive. Regardless the significantly increasing sales, only moderate changes in the net working capital are expected.

Interim report tables

Componenta has applied the same accounting principles in this interim report as in the financial statements for 2009. In addition, it has applied the revised standards IFRS 3 and IAS 27 as from 1 January 2010. Applying the revised standards has not affected the Group's reported result or its financial position. The financial statement tables in this unaudited interim report have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 accounting principles.

Calculation of key financial ratios

Return on equity -% (ROE) = $\frac{\text{Profit after financial items} - \text{income taxes} \times 100}{\text{Shareholders' equity without preferred capital notes} + \text{minority interest (quarterly average)}}$

Return on investment -% (ROI) = $\frac{\text{Profit after financial items} + \text{interest and other financial expenses} \times 100}{\text{Shareholders' equity} + \text{interest bearing liabilities (quarterly average)}}$

Equity ratio, % = $\frac{\text{Shareholders' equity, preferred capital notes excluded} + \text{minority interest} \times 100}{\text{Balance sheet total} - \text{advances received}}$

Earnings per share, EUR (EPS) = $\frac{\text{Profit after financial items} - \text{income taxes +/- minority interest}}{\text{Average number of shares during the financial period}}$

Earnings per share with dilution, EUR = As above, the number of shares has been increased with the warrants outstanding. When calculating the dilution effect of warrants, the number of shares has been adjusted with the number of own shares which the company could have acquired, if it would have used the funds generated from the warrants to buy back of own shares at market price (= average trading price). After tax interest expense of the convertible loan has been added to the profit of the period. Number of shares that can be subscribed by the loan, has been added to the number of total shares.

Cash flow per share, EUR = $\frac{\text{Net cash flow from operating activities}}{\text{Average number of shares during the financial period}}$

Equity per share, EUR = $\frac{\text{Shareholders' equity, preferred capital notes excluded}}{\text{Number of shares at period end}}$

Net interest bearing debt = Interest bearing liabilities + preferred capital notes - cash and bank accounts

Net gearing, % = $\frac{\text{Net interest bearing liabilities} \times 100}{\text{Shareholders' equity, preferred capital notes excluded} + \text{minority interest}}$
