Market Outlook

  • Vacon considers that there are still uncertainties relating to general growth prospects in the economy, and these may affect demand for AC drives in Europe and possibly globally as well.
  • However, Vacon expects demand for products to control electric motors to remain at a good level in the second half of 2012.
  • Vacon estimates that the order intake of products for wind power generation will improve slightly in the second half of 2012 but the share of renewable energy of Vacon's revenues will stay clearly below its level of 2011 (13 % of revenues in 2011).

Risks and uncertainties in the near future

  • One of Vacon’s solar energy customers is still arranging financing to pay a substantial overdue debt. Vacon reversed EUR 2.7 million of the provision it had made for the trade receivable after it managed to obtain EUR 1.4 million of the receivable during the first quarter of 2012 and EUR 1.2 million in the second quarter. The company is continuing to take steps to safeguard and obtain the outstanding amount of the receivable, but is still retaining part of the provision in case of a credit loss.

  • The court proceedings relating to the customs procedures followed by Vacon’s subsidiary in China continue in the higher court, since two of the parties appealed against the ruling given by the lower court in December 2011. It is possible that the sentence imposed on Vacon may also change in the higher court, so some uncertainty still remains in this matter. Vacon made a provision in December 2011 against the current court proceedings.

  • The parent company has tax proceedings in progress relating to a tax inspection of its transfer pricing in 2006 – 2008.
