CEO's comments
"In the last quarterly report we called attention to increased uncertainty regarding the market development for the coming fall. Since that time, we have witnessed a dramatic, to say the least, turn of events on the financial markets which will have consequences for the real economy. As early as during the summer, stagnation or zero growth was noticed on a couple of important European markets.
For Duni's part, we can note weak growth during the third quarter of 0.7%. The deviation from the first six months of the year is, however, mainly attributable to the Retail and Tissue business areas. Sales in our main business area, Professional, have performed
satisfactory with growth of 3.8% compared with a strong third quarter last year.
A weaker market was noticed in the UK, where the exchange rate also has a negative impact, as well as in Southern Europe and Denmark. Important markets such as Germany, Benelux and the rest of the Nordic region show continued good development. In addition, we continue to grow in Eastern Europe, primarily in Russia.
With respect to Retail, we have had a difficult market situation in the UK. Moreover, the sales development in the Nordic region has been weak. Despite weaker
Duni is a leading supplier of attractive and convenient products for table setting and takeaway. The Duni brand is sold in more than 40 markets and enjoys a number one position in Central and Northern Europe. Duni has some 2,000 employees in 17 countries, headquarters in Malmö and production units in Sweden, Germany and Poland. Duni is listed on OMX Nordic Exchange Stockholm under the ticker name "DUNI". ISIN code is SE 0000616716.
sales, profitability continues to improve slightly thanks to an improved customer and product mix.
Within Tissue, we have also had a somewhat softer sales trend. Deliveries during the quarter have to some extent been affected by a recently initiated transition to a new generation of products within hygiene.
It is important to point out that the underlying result this quarter shows continued improvement. Due to the fact that Duni does not apply so-called hedge accounting, we had
Net sales increased by 3.3%
Net sales showed growth of SEK 94 m to SEK 2,954 m (2,860) for the period 1 January – 30 September 2008 compared with the same period last year. The somewhat lower growth is attributable to sales during the third quarter; however we see continued good demand for Duni's products within Professional.
With unchanged exchange rates since last year, net sales would be SEK 25 m lower for the period.
Net sales for the period 1 July – 30 September 2008 rose by SEK 7 m to SEK 973 m (966). With unchanged exchange rates since last year, net sales would be SEK 11 m lower.
Improved earnings
Operating income (EBIT) increased by 4.8% to SEK 260 m (248) for the period 1 January – 30 September 2008. The gross margin reached 26.5% (25.2 %). The improved gross margin has compensated for somewhat higher indirect costs and, above all, the other operating costs. In addition to price increases and a more profitable product mix, this period also benefitted from an advantageous business area mix where Professional represents an increased share of the sales. The operating margin for the Group increased from 8.7% to 8.8%.
With unchanged exchange rates since last year, the operating income would be SEK 7 m lower for the period. An unrealized valuation effect of electricity- and currency derivatives affect the operating income with SEK -9 m (2).
Income after financial items amounted to SEK 212 m (96). The income after tax amounted to SEK 155 m (41).
Operating income (EBIT) decreased to SEK 83 m (97) for the period 1 July – 30 September 2008. Other operating costs include a bookkeeping loss (SEK -18 m) at the close of the quarter when our forward contracts were revalued at current market rates.
The sales for the important Christmas season are off to a good start in September.
The financial crisis has now clearly reached Europe. In light of this, more focus has been placed on the cost side and we have initiated measures to cut costs, however with the goal of maintaining our selling power", says Fredrik von Oelreich, CEO, Duni.
an unrealized valuation effect of electricity and currency derivatives of SEK -18 m (3) for the period. Excluding this effect, operating income would have amounted to SEK 101 m (94). With unchanged exchange rates since last year, the operating income would be SEK 2 m lower, excluding above mentioned valuation effect. The gross margin amounted to 26.5% (25.9%). The operating margin dropped from 10.0% to 8.5%.
The income after financial items amounted to SEK 72 m (65). The income after tax amounted to SEK 53 m (38).
Reporting of business areas
Duni's operations are divided into three business areas.
The Professional business area (sales to hotels, restaurants and catering companies) accounted for 68% of Duni's net sales for the period 1 January – 30 September 2008.
The Retail business area (primarily focused on retail trade) accounted for 18% of net sales during the period.
The Tissue business area (airlaid and tissuebased material for tabletop products and hygiene applications) accounted for 14% of sales to external customers during the period.
The Professional and Retail business areas have, to a large extent, a common product range. Design and packaging solutions are, however, adapted to suit the different sales channels. Production and support functions are shared to a large degree by the business areas. Duni has chosen to report the results for the business areas on an EBIT level, after common costs, including the valuation effects of derivatives, have been allocated to each respective business area.
Professional business area
Net sales increased by 5.1% to SEK 2,018 m (1,920) for the period 1 January – 30 September. Sales in Germany and Benelux continue to develop well while the slowdown in Spain due to the economy has entailed reduced sales on that market. In addition, the weak pound impact UK sales.
Operating income increased to SEK 239 m (229). The operating margin was 11.8% (11.9%). The improvement in income is a result of a more profitable product mix in combination with price increases.
Net sales for the period 1 July – 30 September increased by 3.8% to SEK 684 m (659). Operating income dropped to SEK 82 m (91) with an operating margin of 12.0% (13.8%). Operating income includes an allocated negative unrealized valuation effect of derivatives of SEK -12.5 m (2.1) for the period.
Retail business area
Net sales decreased by SEK 17 m to SEK 515 m (532) for the period 1 January – 30 September 2008. Operating income improved somewhat to SEK -11 m (-16). The operating margin was -2.1% (-3.0%). Profitability in Retail continues to gradually improve in part due to a reduction in unprofitable contracts but also due to a better product mix.
Net income for the period of 1 July – 30 September amounted to SEK 158 m (173). Operating income dropped from SEK -6 m to -7 and the operating margin amounted to -4.4% (-3.5%). Operating income includes an allocated negative unrealized valuation effect of derivatives of SEK -3.3 m (0.5) for the period.
Tissue business area
Net sales increased by 3.2% to SEK 421 m (408) for the period 1 January – 30 September 2008.
Operating income dropped to SEK 32 m (35). Continued increasing energy prices are the primary reason for the somewhat weaker result. The operating margin amounted to 7.6% (8.6%).
Net sales for the period 1 July – 30 September were SEK 131 m (134). Operating income was SEK 8 m (12) and the operating margin amounted to 6.1% (9.0%). Operating income includes an allocated negative unrealized valuation effect of derivates of SEK -2.7 m (0.4) for the period.
Cash flow
The Group's operating cash flow amounted to SEK -21 m (48) for the period 1 January –
30 September. Commencing 31 December, capital tied up in stock increased by SEK 119 m to SEK 619 m (500). Accounts receivable increased by SEK 154 m to SEK 700 m (546), primarily as a result of terminated factoring agreements in Germany. Lower interest costs had a positive impact on cash flow. An important part of Duni's operating income is normally generated during the fourth quarter, which is expected to result in a stronger cash flow during that period.
Cash flow, including investment operations, amounted to SEK -102 m (1 168). The same period during the preceding year includes cash flow from divestment of the deSter business area in the amount of SEK 1,209 m. Duni's net investments for continuing operations amounted to SEK 83 m (76). Write-offs and write-downs for the period amounted to SEK 73 m (65).
The Group's interest-bearing net debt as of 30 September was SEK 1,311 m compared with SEK 1,085 m as of 31 December 2007. This increase pertains, largely, to terminated factoring agreements on the German market of SEK 97 m. During the year, a dividend in the amount of SEK 85 m was paid to shareholders. In order to avoid additional tax charges, SEK 42 m of the total provision of SEK 61 m was prepaid to the tax authorities in Germany in August.
Financial net
The financial net for the period amounted to SEK -48 m (-152). External interest expenses are lower than last year thanks to a lower indebtedness and better financing terms. The financial net for the period 1 July – 30 September also benefited from an unrealized currency exchange gain of SEK 6 m from among others translation of cash balances in foreign currency.
In conjunction with the divestment of the deSter business area in March 2007, a refinancing was carried out and thus last year's first quarter costs include SEK 31 m in conjunction with premature redemption of the loans.
Taxes
The total reported tax costs amounted to SEK 57 m (55). On 1 January 2008, the corporate tax rate in Germany was reduced, which contributed to lower tax rates for Duni. During the period, deferred tax claims related to carried-forward losses were reduced by SEK 27 m.
The Swedish Government has presented a proposal for a reduction of the corporate tax rate from 28.0% to 26.3%. A reduction of the tax rate to 26.3% would entail a write-down of tax claims in Duni AB by MSEK 21 as of 31 December 2008.
The differences in the tax burden between quarters are primarily due to adjustments in respect of preceding periods as well as allocations to reserves of SEK 1.5 m for the tax audit in Germany. In addition, fluctuations between the quarters can arise due to differences in non-deductible costs and non-taxable income.
Earnings per share
The period's earnings per share for continuing operations before and after dilution were SEK 3.30 (0.87).
Personnel
On 30 September 2008 there were 1,980 (1,985) employees. 886 of the employees were engaged in production. Duni's production units are located in Bramsche in Germany, Poznan in Poland, and Bengtsfors in Sweden.
Acquisitions
No acquisitions were carried out during the period.
New establishment
No new establishments were carried out during the period.
Risk factors for Duni
A number of risk factors may affect Duni's operations in terms of both operational and financial risks. Operational risks are normally handled by each operating unit and financial risks by the treasury department.
Operational risks
Duni is currently exposed to risks which are directly connected to the ongoing business operations. Managing the impact of fluctuations in the prices of raw materials constitutes an important factor for maintaining profitability. The development of attractive collections, in particular the Christmas collection, is fundamental for Duni achieving strong sales and earnings growth. A weakened economy in Europe could lead to fewer restaurant visits, less retail consumption and increased price competition, which may affect volumes and gross margins.
Financial risks
The financial risks are primarily risks directly related to exchange rates, interest rates and credit risks. Risk management within Duni is regulated by a finance policy approved by the Duni Board of Directors. The risks for the Group are in all essential respects also related to the parent company. Duni's management of financial risks is described in greater detail in the Annual Report as per 31 December 2007.
With regard to Duni's long-term financing, it has since last year been secured in an agreement valid through to 2012.
Contingent liabilities have increased from SEK 11 m to SEK 16 m since the beginning of the year.
Transactions with related parties
"Related parties" means Duni Holding AB. No transactions with related parties took place during the third quarter of 2008.
Changes in ownership structure
During the third quarter of 2008, EQT divested its holding (17%) in Duni AB. Lannebo Fonder has increased its holding to 7.7%.
Events since 30 September
No significant events have occurred after the balance sheet date.

Outlook for 2008
In light of the deep global problems on the financial markets, the economy is now weakening in Europe. Duni assumes that this will also have consequences for the demand of Duni's products, even though historically, the sensitiveness to the economic cycle has proven to be relatively limited.
During 2008, Duni has been exposed to rising costs for raw materials, primarily pulp, energy and transportation. These cost increases have primarily been passed on to the market through price adjustments.
In that general economic indicators appear to be weakening, the focus will be moved increasingly to productivity and cost efficiency.
The parent company
Net sales for the period 1 January - 30 September 2008 amounted to SEK 911 m (904). Income after financial items amounted to SEK 198 m (-205). External interest expenses have decreased since last year thanks to lower indebtedness and improved financing terms.
Net debt amounted to SEK 684 m, of which a net claim of SEK 608 m is attributable to subsidiaries. Other claims have increased due to increased loans to subsidiaries. Net investments amounted to SEK 15 m (20).
Group structure and reporting
During 2006 and at the beginning of 2007, Duni completed the work of concentrating its operations to its core business, in principle corresponding to the former Duni Europe. The American businesses, Duni Corporation and Duni Supply Corporation, were sold in August 2006 and the sale of the flight catering business was completed in March 2007, when Duni AB sold the shares in deSter Holdings B.V. In order to facilitate a relevant comparison between the years, only the new Group structure is reported in full and designated in this report as "continuing operations".

Review Report
We have reviewed the interim report for the period 1 January 2008 – 30 September 2008 for Duni AB. The Board of Directors and CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim Report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with the Swedish Standard on Review Engagements SÖG 2410, Review of Interim Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily addressed to persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Standards on Auditing in Sweden, RS, and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying Interim Report is not, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Group, and with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Parent Company.
