CEO's comments
"During the second quarter of the year, first and foremost our largest business area, Professional, has continued to develop positively with a sales increase of 6.2%. For the Group as a whole, sales increased by 4.2%, primarily driven by an improved mix combined with implemented price increases.
Sales growth was strongest in Southern and Eastern Europe and in Benelux. Continued good development could be noted in Germany for both the Professional and Retail business areas. Also in the Nordic region both business areas reported increased sales and improved profitability, primarily due to a better product mix and price increases. Within the Professional business area, we also benefit
from strong growth within the take-away range, where we have noted continued strong growth figures.
Sales for the Retail and Tissue business areas were relatively unchanged during the second quarter compared with last year. As regards Retail, this is in line with what has been communicated previously, i.e. that profitability is prioritised over increased sales. For Tissue, it concerns a small number of large customers where deliveries can vary somewhat between quarters. In addition, we benefited from some extra volumes to certain destinations at the beginning of the year, with final deliveries having taken place in May.
Overall, there has been strong income growth during the quarter, to the largest extent within the Professional business area. The gross margin continued to strengthen, mainly as a consequence of increased sales of premium products such as Duniletto® and Elegance, and we succeeded in compensating for increased raw materials cost by carrying out our own price increases.
Looking forward, it can be noted that the macro economic trend has taken a more negative direction than was the case earlier in the year. For example, in the UK and Spain there are signs of an economic slowdown;
New 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".
Net sales increased by 4.6%
During the period 1 January – 30 June 2008, net sales were up SEK 87 m compared with the same period of last year, to SEK 1,981 m (1,894). Continuing strong demand for Duni's products, within the Professional and Tissue business areas, as well as implemented price increases, have contributed to the increase in sales.
Exchange rate changes had a positive impact on net sales of 0.8%. Adjusted for exchange rate changes, net sales increased by 3.8% to SEK 1,966 m (1,894).
Net sales for the period 1 April – 30 June 2008 increased by SEK 41 m to SEK 1,012 m (971). Adjusted for exchange rate changes, net sales increased by 3.9% to SEK 1,009 m (971).
Improved income
The improvement in income is largely driven by a strong gross margin. Duni has succeeded in raising prices in order to compensate for increased raw materials costs and to sell a more profitable product mix. The gross margin reached 26.5% (24.9%). Operating income
however, Duni is not so exposed to these markets and is continuing to gain market shares there. The overall picture for Duni shows a generally healthy demand within our market segments, even if the uncertainty regarding the market development during fall has increased due to the general economic outlook. As the market leader and with the effective operating platform put in place we feel well equipped in the event decreased disposable income should lead to a weakening on our markets", says Duni's CEO, Fredrik von Oelreich.
(EBIT) increased to SEK 176 m (151) for the period 1 January– 30 June 2008. The operating margin increased from 8.0% to 8.9%.
Exchange rate changes had a positive impact on operating income of 2.3%. Adjusted for exchange rate changes, operating income increased to SEK 172 m (151).
Income after financial items amounted to SEK 140 m (31). Income after tax amounted to SEK 102 m (3).
Operating income (EBIT) increased to SEK 90 m (73) for the period 1 April – 30 June 2008. The gross margin was 25.7% (24.1%). The operating margin increased from 7.5% to 8.9%. Exchange rate changes had a positive impact on operating income of 1.1%. Adjusted for exchange rate changes, operating income increased to SEK 89 m (73).
Income after financial items amounted to SEK 73 m (60). Income after tax amounted to SEK 57 m (34).
Business area reporting
Duni's operations are divided into three business areas.
The Professional business area (sales to hotels, restaurants and catering companies) accounted for 67% of Duni's net sales during the period 1 January – 30 June 2008.
The Retail business area (primarily focused on sales to the grocery retail trade) accounted for 18% of net sales during the period.
The Tissue business area (airlaid and tissuebased material for table-top product and hygiene applications) accounted for 15% 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 allocation of common costs over the respective business areas.
Professional business area
Net sales for the period 1 January – 30 June increased by 5.7% to SEK 1,333 m (1,261). Germany was one of the markets which performed well during the period. Southern and Eastern Europe continues to grow by doubledigit figures.
Operating income increased to SEK 158 m (139). The operating margin was 11.8% (11.0%). The increase in income is due to a more profitable product mix combined with price increases.
Net sales for the period 1 April – 30 June increased by SEK 41 m to SEK 706 m (665). Operating income increased to SEK 89 m (77), with an operating margin of 12.7% (11.6%).
Retail business area
The phasing out of certain unprofitable private label contracts continues to impact sales. However, there is strong growth to existing and new customers in Germany, where Duni's new category approach is successfully being introduced. Net sales for the period 1 January – 30 June 2008 were almost unchanged at SEK 357 m (359).
Operating income improved somewhat to SEK -4 m (-10). The operating margin was -1.2% (-2.8%). The improvement is due to a more profitable product and customer mix.
Net sales for the period 1 April – 30 June amounted to SEK 164 m (163). Operating income improved from SEK -13 m to -8 and the operating margin was -5.0% (-8.0%).
Tissue business area
Net sales for the period 1 January – 30 June 2008 increased by 6.2% to SEK 291 m (274).
Operating income increased to SEK 23 m (22). The business area benefited from strong volumes, primarily during the first quarter. At the same time, rising energy prices have impacted the result. The operating margin was 7.9% (8.0%).
Net sales for the period 1 April – 30 June were SEK 143 m (143). Operating income was SEK 9 m (9) and the operating margin was 6.2% (6.3%).
Cash flow
The Group's cash flow from operations during the period 1 January – 30 June was SEK 73 m (-86). The positive cash flow trend is a consequence of lower interest expenses, in combination with an improved working capital for the continuing operations. However, most of Duni's operating income is generated during the second half of the year, which is expected to lead to a stronger cash flow during that period. Cash flow including investment activities amounted to SEK 10 m (1,070). The same period last year included a cash flow of SEK 1,209 from the divestment of the deSter business area. Duni's net investments in the continuing operations amounted to SEK 65 m (49).
The Group's net interest-bearing debt as per the end of June is SEK 1,155 m, compared with SEK 1,085 m on 31 December 2007. During the period, dividends were paid to the shareholders totalling SEK 85 m.
Operating capital
Commencing 31 December, capital tied up in inventory increased by SEK 56 m to SEK 556 m (500). Accounts receivable increased by SEK 2 m to SEK 548 m (546). Depreciation and writedowns for the period amounted to SEK 50 m (44).
Due to cheaper financing, during the quarter certain factoring contracts in Germany have been terminated. As a consequence, in the coming quarters there will be an increase in net debt and accounts receivable, with a positive impact on the financial net.
Financial net
The financial net for the period was SEK -36 m (-120). External interest expenses are lower than last year thanks to a reduced indebtedness and improved financing terms. A refinancing was carried out in connection with the divestment of the deSter business area in March 2007, and thus the first quarter of last year also includes a writedown of capitalised transaction costs of SEK 31 m. In addition to external interest expenses, the financial net also includes valuation of financial derivatives.
Taxes
As a consequence of the significant improvement in income, the total reported tax cost was SEK 38 m (28). The variation in the tax burden between the quarters is primarily due to prior period adjustments, as well as provisions
for the ongoing tax audit in Germany. There may also be fluctuations between quarters as a result of differences in non-deductible and tax exempt items.
On 1 January 2008, corporate income tax in Germany was reduced, which contributed to a lower tax cost for Duni. During the period, deferred tax claims relating to loss carryforwards were reduced by SEK 16 m.
Personnel
On 30 June 2008, there were 1,976 (1,967) employees. 898 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 made 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 managed by the respective 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 element for maintaining profitability. The development of attractive collections in particular the Christmas collection is fundamental for Duni achieving strong sales and income growth.
Financial risks
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 Board of Directors. The risks for the Group are in all essential respects also relevant to the parent company. Duni's management of financial risks is described in greater detail in the Annual Report as per 31 December 2007.
No material changes have taken place in contingent liabilities since the end of last year.
Transactions with related parties
'Related parties' means Duni Holding AB. No transactions with related parties took place during the second quarter of 2008.
