CEO's comments
During the first quarter, operating income improved in all business areas: Professional, Retail and Tissue. Continued healthy demand for Duni's products and previously reported price increases have contributed to the increase in income.
The growth in sales of 5% is to be seen in the context of a quarter with two fewer invoicing days, which entails a slightly higher underlying growth.
Within the Professional business area, our largest market Germany has performed well. Sales growth has remained strong in France and southern Europe as a whole.
As previously indicated, net sales in the Retail business area has declined somewhat. However, operating income increased thanks to an improved customer and product mix. Efforts are continuing to change the offering on the shelves in favor of a higher proportion of premium products.
Demand for Duni's products within the Tissue business area has been very strong during the first quarter. We are growing primarily with respect to sales of airlaid to existing customers.
In addition, the period has been characterized by continued increases in raw materials prices. As previously mentioned, Duni has carried out price increases in order to compensate for these cost increases.
Volatility on the financial market has, if anything increased and the economic research institutes have lowered their growth forecasts for a large number of European countries. However, from Duni's perspective we see no leveling off in demand for our products at present, says Duni's CEO, Fredrik von Oelreich.
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. www.duni.com
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 5%
During the period 1 January – 31 March 2008, net sales grew by SEK 46 m compared to the same period last year, to SEK 969 m (923). Exchange rate fluctuations (translation differences) had a positive impact, 1.2%, on net sales. Net sales adjusted for exchange rate changes increased by 3.8% to SEK 957 m (923).
The growth is to be seen in the context of a quarter with two fewer invoicing days than the same period last year. The increase in net sales is due to increased volumes as well as price increases.
Improved income
The gross margin has strengthened thanks to a more profitable product mix. Raw materials costs have continued to increase but Duni has compensated with price increases. The gross margin was 27.2% (25.7%). Operating income (EBIT) increased to SEK 86 m (78) for the period 1 January – 31 March 2008. The operating margin increased from 8.5% to 8.9%.
Exchange rate fluctuations (translation differences) had a positive impact, 3.4%, on operating income. Operating income adjusted for exchange rate changes increased to SEK 83 m (78).
Income after financial items amounted to SEK 67 m (-29). Income after tax was SEK 45 m (-31).
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 65% of Duni's net sales during the period.
The Retail business area (primarily focused on sales to the consumer market via grocery retail
trade) accounted for 20% of net sales during the period.
The Tissue business area (production of airlaid and tissue-based material for tabletop products 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
The Professional business area continued to demonstrate strong growth, particularly bearing in mind the number of invoicing days. Germany was one of the markets which progressed well during the period. In southern Europe, growth has continued at a high pace. It is particularly pleasing to note a positive trend in Spain after the changes implemented at the end of last year.
Net sales for the period increased by 5.3% to SEK 628 m (596).
Operating income increased to SEK 68 m (63). The operating margin was 10.9% (10.5%). The increase in income is due to premium products, which contribute to a more profitable product mix, combined with price increases.
Retail business area
As previously reported, sales in the Retail business area have been affected by the phasing out of certain unprofitable contracts, in particular within private label on the UK market. However, we can see a good growth on existing as well as on new customers in Germany. Net sales for the period fell by 1.3% to SEK 193 m (196).
Operating income improved somewhat to SEK 4 m (3). The operating margin was 2.0% (1.4%). The improvement is due to a more profitable product and customer mix. In addition price increases have been carried out to compensate for increased raw material prices.
Tissue business area
Net sales for the period increased by 12.7% to SEK 148 m (131).
Operating income increased to SEK 14 m (13). Income was affected by strong sales of airlaid, primarily for hygiene applications but also by increasing raw material prices. The operating margin was 9.6% (9.7%).
Cash flow
The Group's cash flow from operations during the period was SEK -7 m (-120). The main portion of Duni's operating income is generated during the second half of the year leading to a stronger cash flow during that period. Cash flow including investment activities amounted to SEK -37 m (1,060). The same period last year included a cash flow of SEK 1,209 m from the divestment of the deSter business area. Duni's net investments in the continuing operations amounted to SEK 31 m (24).
Operating capital
Commencing 31 December, capital tied up in inventory increased by SEK 56 m to SEK 556 m. Accounts receivable decreased by SEK 26 m to SEK 520 m (546). Depreciation and writedowns for the period amounted to SEK 25 m (21).
Financial net
The financial net for the period was SEK -19 m (-107). External interest expenses were lower than last year thanks to a lower indebtedness and improved financing terms. In connection with the divestment of the deSter business area in March 2007, a refinancing was carried out, and thus the quarter of last year also included a write-off of capitalized 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 22 m. The tax cost for the same period last year was SEK 2 m. Fluctuations in the tax burden between individual quarters are due primarily to permanent tax differences and the effect of foreign tax rates.
During the period, further provisions of SEK 1.5 m were made regarding an ongoing tax audit in Germany, and thus provisions totaling SEK 61 m have been made. On 1 January 2008, corporate income tax in Germany was reduced, which has contributed to a lower tax cost for Duni. During the period, deferred tax asset relating to loss carried forwards were reduced by SEK 9 m.
Personnel
On 31 March 2008, there were 1,994 (1,973) employees. 906 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 establishments
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 operational 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 very important 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.
