Comments by the CEO

For the fifth consecutive quarter, we improved our results year-on-year. The Nordic countries delivered according to plan by focusing on operational excellence and good project management and cost control.

As anticipated, net sales continued to decline partly due to the divestments made last year and partly due to lower activity among our customers as a result of COVID-19. Last year's loss of a major service agreement in Sweden, mainly relating to the copper network, also affected the volumes and will continue to do so throughout the year. On the other hand, ramp up of the Telenor frame agreement in Norway is progressing according to plan and the overall order backlog is on a healthy level. The same goes for Finland, which had a strong start to the year.

We have successfully adjusted the organisation to meet the volume changes, which has contributed to the improved profitability. Thanks to good resource and production planning, we managed to keep our costs down despite the harsh winter conditions. Our continuous efforts to build a solid Nordic platform with a stable underlying business also serves as a base for the improved operative EBITA.

Due to seasonality, net working capital and net debt increased in the quarter, but compared to Q1 2020, we see an improvement, particularly in net debt. The return on operative capital employed continued to improve as a result of our transformation journey and focus on the Nordic countries where we have a market-leading position.

COVID-19 had an impact on Eltel in Q1. However, as vaccination programmes in our Nordic markets are progressing, we expect the related project delays and postponements to gradually ease and our customers to pick up the investment pace. We also anticipate our somewhat increased sick leave rates to normalise.

We continue to work on the efficiency improvements in our operations to drive profitability, and we stand by our previously stated financial guidance that we expect our operational EBITA margin for 2021 to improve compared to 2020.

Casimir Lindholm, President & CEO

About Eltel and the Group strategy

Eltel in brief

Eltel is a leading Nordic field service provider for power and telecom networks. Operations are conducted in the Nordic countries, Poland and Germany within country-based organisations that have full responsibility for their financial results. Within power, Eltel provides maintenance of power grids, upgrades and project work to national transmission system operators and distribution network owners. Within communication, Eltel provides similar services to telecom operators and other owners of communication networks.

Eltel's markets are characterised by a high concentration of customers and competitors offering similar products and services. Eltel competes on price and quality. The markets are regulated and typically have predictable and repetitive demand in line with each country's GDP.

Our strategy – Operational Excellence

A decision was taken in 2017 to restructure Eltel in order to focus on areas with a balanced risk level in which it has a leading market position and a high level of expertise, and in which the business model is repetitive and primarily targeted towards build, service and maintenance. In 2019, Eltel took the next step on its transformation journey. A Nordic focus with lower risk and fewer capital-intensive projects will enable us to continue to develop, grow and invest in the company to ensure long-term sustainable value creation for the company and its shareholders.

In parallel, a strategy for existing operations has been developed, with a focus on operating profitability. The strategy, which is being implemented in 2019–2021, aims to raise the operating margin by generating customer focus, improving efficiency, measuring and tracking relevant key performance indicators, and simplifying the daily operations of our technicians. Furthermore, the focus is on improving the competence level within the organisation through various forms of training and recruitment.

This will create the foundation for sustainable growth, profitability and shareholder value.

January–March 2021

Net sales decreased by 23.1% to EUR 182.0 million (236.6). Organic net sales in country segments, adjusted for divested operations and currency effects decreased by 18.7%. Net sales decreased in country segments by EUR 40.8 million and in other business by EUR 15.1 million. Of the decline, EUR 15.0 million came from the divestments of the German communication business and the Swedish business area Aviation & Security. Other reasons for the decrease were harsh winter conditions, postponed and reduced customer investments, in parts due to COVID-19, and the loss of a large service agreement in Sweden, mainly relating to the copper network, which was announced in Q2 2020.

Operative EBITA amounted to EUR -0.7 million (-2.1). Operative EBITA-margin was -0.4% (-0.9). Operative EBITA in country segments was EUR 2.4 million (3.5) and in other business EUR -0.9 million (-2.2). The effect of the divestments of the German communication business and the Swedish business area Aviation & Security was EUR -0.9 million. Good resource and production planning, increased efficiency and better project management are the main reasons for the improved performance.

For further information regarding net sales and operative EBITA development, refer to the respective section on the segments.

EBIT amounted to EUR -0.8 million (-2.2).

Net financial expenses amounted to EUR -1.3 million (-1.9), including EUR 0.4 million (0.5) interest expense impact from the IFRS16 standard.

Taxes amounted to EUR -0.6 million (-0.6). The effective tax rate was -28.5% (-14.1).

Net result for the period was EUR -2.7 million (-4.8). Earnings per share were EUR -0.02 (-0.03).

January–March 2021

Net sales increased by EUR 1.9 million to EUR 60.8 million (58.9), representing an increase of 3.2%. The growth was mainly driven by a strong market position in communication and the agreements awarded during 2020, relating to fibre and 5G. The increase was partly offset by a harsh winter. Volumes in power remained on a high level as increased work related to frame agreements largely offset large project completions.

Power Communication

Operative EBITA increased to EUR 0.7 million (-0.8). The operative EBITA margin was 1.1% (-1.4), which was a result of improved project management and cost control. Net sales growth, improved productivity and good resource planning also had a positive impact. During 2020, Finland noted cost increases and write-downs in certain power projects.

January–March 2021

Net sales decreased by EUR 22.1 million to EUR 41.1 million (63.1), representing a decline of 35.0%. Organic growth, adjusted for currency effects and divestments, was -31.0%. The impact of the divestment of the Aviation & Security business area was EUR -6.9 million. The decrease is furthermore explained by the previously announced loss of a large service agreement, mainly relating to the copper network. A harsh winter with lower fibre activity and slightly higher COVID-19 related absences also impacted net sales.

Operative EBITA decreased to EUR -0.8 million (0.5). The operative EBITA margin was -2.0% (0.7). The comparative period contained a positive one-off item of EUR 0.9 million due to a provision release. Furthermore, the effect of the divestment of the Aviation & Security business area was EUR -0.3 million. Also contributing to the decrease were the lower volumes. However, good production and resource planning, cost control and improved risk management, in both communication and power, partly offset the decrease.

Net sales decreased by EUR 13.0 million to EUR 33.9 million (47.0), representing a decrease of 27.7%. Organic growth, adjusted for currency effects, was -28.5%. The main reasons were harsh winter conditions affecting the fibre production and the ramp up of the renewed Telenor frame agreement. Further impacting net sales were the decrease and delays in customer investments and increased sick leaves due to COVID-19.

Operative EBITA decreased to EUR 1.2 million (2.1). The operative EBITA margin was 3.6% (4.4). The lower net sales impacted the operative result, but improved efficiency, resource planning and a successful rightsizing to meet the lower volumes partly offset the decrease.

Net sales decreased by EUR 7.6 million to EUR 26.2 million (33.7), representing a decrease of 22.4%. Organic growth, adjusted for currency effects, was -22.8%. The decrease was mainly a result of the completion of a large communication project, which generated high volumes in the comparative period, and lower fibre activity compared to an unusually strong 2020. Winter conditions had a minor impact.

Operative EBITA decreased to EUR 1.3 million (1.8). The operative EBITA margin was 5.1% (5.3). Despite the drop in net sales, the margin was kept at a good level as a result of efficiency improvements, cost control and adjustments to the organisation.

January–March 2021

Net sales decreased by EUR 15.1 million to EUR 21.4 million (36.5), representing a decrease of 41.3%. Of the decline, EUR 8.1 million came from the divestment of the German communication business. The remainder came primarily from high voltage project delays and postponements in Poland, due to the Polish market situation and COVID-19. The operational completion of the Reisadalen high voltage project in Norway, and the ongoing ramp-down of Power Transmission International also had an impact.

Operative EBITA increased to EUR -0.9 million (-2.2), mainly thanks to Smart Grids Germany as a result of good project management and a favourable market. The difficulties in high voltage continue and work is ongoing to improve project management and reduce the risk.

1) Includes EUR 20.4 million gain from divestment of the German communication business and business area Aviation & Security in Q2 2020. Condensed consolidated statement of cash flows is presented on page 15.

January–March 2021

Cash flow from operating activities was EUR -17.4 million (-4.7). Main impact comes from change in net working capital which increased by EUR 20.9 million (-6.9) from a very low level at end of 2020. The change reflects normal seasonal pattern and the amount of net working capital at the quarter end was EUR -4.8 million (0.5).

Cash flow has historically displayed a strong seasonal pattern, with weaker cash flow recorded during the period until the end of the third quarter due to higher production activity. Eltel's net working capital level is also impacted by remaining working capital-intensive projects, mainly in high voltage Poland. These projects, and delays in them, result in continued tie up of substantial working capital and are expected to create volatility in the net working capital also going forward.

Net cash flow from investing activities was EUR -0.5 million (-1.2) mainly from net capital expenditure related to replacement investments.

Cash flow from financing activities was EUR 11.7 million (-37.7) including increase in commercial paper programme utilisation of EUR 17.0 million (reduction of 20.5), amortisation of external loans of EUR 0.0 million (10.0) and net impact of payments of lease liabilities.

Eltel has focused on strengthening the balance sheet and lowering net debt level for the past year. The efforts have been successful and net debt, as defined in the financing agreement, has reduced to EUR 89.2 million (133.8).

Financial position, cash and cash equivalents

Equity at the end of the period was EUR 217.9 million (203.4) and total assets were EUR 667.6 million (709.7). The equity ratio was 34.1% (30.0).

At the end of the quarter, available liquidity reserves amounted to EUR 130.3 million (116.6). On the same date, EUR 70.0 million of Eltel's commercial paper programme was utilised (EUR 53.0 million at year-end 2020).

Eltel has financing agreements with its bank group comprising term loans, a revolving credit facility and certain commercial guarantees. Said agreements were extended in December 2020 and are now effective until February 2023. The credit facilities governed by the agreements have covenants pertaining to minimum adjusted EBITDA, minimum liquidity and maximum net debt. With the latest extension, new covenant levels for minimum adjusted EBITDA were agreed for the year 2022, and maximum net debt was set to decrease from EUR 100 million at the end of 2021 to EUR 90 million at the end of 2022. The minimum liquidity covenant level, as well as the other terms and conditions previously agreed between the parties, remain unchanged throughout the extended agreements. The minimum adjusted EBITDA and maximum net debt covenants, as defined in the financing agreements, are excluding IFRS 16 impact. Bilateral account overdrafts with banks are renewed annually.

At the end of the quarter the commercial guarantees issued by the banks and other financial institutions on behalf of the Group amounted to EUR 100.6 million (114.1). The amount of the commercial guarantees issued on behalf of joint ventures and third parties was EUR 0.1 million (6.0).

Risks and uncertainty factors

On 28 June 2018, Eltel received a letter from Nasdaq Stockholm where the exchange stated that it intends to request the Nasdaq Stockholm Disciplinary Committee to decide whether Eltel has breached its obligations in relation to the Nasdaq Stockholm Rulebook for Issuers. The matter relates to alleged deficiencies in Eltel's capacity for providing information to the market during 2016 and 2017. Eltel has responded outlining its reasons for rejecting any breach. Any decision taken by the Disciplinary Committee will be made public.

On 31 October 2014, the Finnish Competition and Consumer Authority (FCCA) proposed the imposition of a fine of EUR 35 million on Eltel in the Finnish Market Court, claiming that Eltel had participated in a competition law violation relating to Eltel's power transmission line construction and planning business in Finland during the period 2004–2011. In the court proceedings Eltel has consistently maintained that it has not violated competition law and requested that the case be dismissed. Following a ruling in Eltel's favour in March 2016 by the Finnish Market Court (where the court dismissed the case as time barred) the case was appealed by FCCA to the Supreme Administrative Court (SAC). SAC, in its turn, decided in 2019 to refer the interpretation of the time bar matter to the European Court of Justice (ECJ) in Luxembourg. The preliminary ruling of the ECJ on the time bar matter, issued in January 2021, confirms Eltel's position throughout the court proceedings. The case is now back before the SAC for final ruling, the timing of which is unknown. More information about the FCCA case is available in the 2020 Annual Report (page 32).

Eltel plays an important role in maintaining critical societal functions in difficult situations, such as the current COVID-19 pandemic. However, there is uncertainty about the future impact and duration of the pandemic and, as such, it is foreseen to have a negative effect on Eltel's business.

There is a risk that the covenants under the existing financing agreement are not met during the transformation period.

For information regarding risks and uncertainties, please refer to Eltel's 2020 Annual Report which was published on 30 March 2021 and is available on Eltel's website at www.eltelgroup.com.

Large agreements announced during Q1 2021

No large agreements were announced during the reporting period.

Large agreements announced after the reporting period

No large agreements were announced after the reporting period.

Financial guidance

Eltel expects the full-year 2021 operative EBITA margin to increase compared to 2020.

Related party transactions

No significant transactions took place between Eltel and related parties during the period.

Seasonality

Eltel's businesses are generally characterised by seasonal patterns and cyclicality of the project business that adds volatility to net sales, EBITA and cash flow. Seasonality is normally driven by a number of factors, including weather conditions, the timing of customer order placements and completion of work phases. The Eltel Group has historically reported higher revenues and operating profit in the second half of the year. Cash flow has historically displayed a strong seasonal pattern, with weaker cash flow recorded during the period until the end of the third quarter due to higher production activity. At the end of the year, as production volumes decrease, cash flow has normally been stronger. For more details, please refer to quarterly key financial figures for the Group on page 17.
