Risks and uncertainties in the near future

  • Typical risks to which Vacon's business operations are exposed relate to uncertainty in demand and intensifying competition on price, and to losing customers, to goodwill, the availability of raw material and components, and fluctuations in the values of foreign currencies.
  • The shortage of components that slowed down deliveries in 2010 and at the beginning of 2011 has eased and the availability of the components used by Vacon in its products is at the moment reasonably good.
  • Business related to renewable power generation can cause greater seasonal fluctuations in business volumes than what the company is used to. It has long delivery and payment schedules, which increases the risks relating to customer credit rating and of orders being cancelled.
  • The deadline for the sales of The Switch Engineering Oy shares have been agreed to be extended.
  • The Chinese prosecuting authority is demanding EUR 3,2 million from Vacon as a compensation for unpaid customs duties, and a provision for this was recorded in the result for the final quarter of 2010. The court case began in March 2011.
