VIEWS ON 2012
For 2012 we expect a higher sales turnover and better result than the 2011 outcome.
Managing Director's comments
2012 started more or less as I expected. I am still optimistic, even if it is a diffi cult year to assess, and I am still worried about the development in Europe, especially in Southern Europe. If you take a closer look at the fi rst quarter, the USA has been doing somewhat better than expected and promo sales in the Nordic countries are somewhat lower than expected. Otherwise, the development is more or less according to plan. It is essential to our full-year result that we have a descent second and fourth quarter.
Otherwise, I am very pleased with our organisation in all markets and it is very comforting to have broad and stable management teams in place, especially in Asia and the USA, but of course also in Europe.
Th us, to sum it up, I am rather pleased with how the year has started and I am quite optimistic for the full year, even if we, as I have mentioned, are facing a very imponderable situation, not least in Europe.
Torsten Jansson
Summary of the quarter
SUMMARY OF THE REVIEW PERIOD JANUARY-MARCH
Sales were 5% higher than last year during the first quarter. That includes our acquired units, which contributed by SEK 64 million (7%). Within our operating segments, Corporate Promo has decreased by 7%, which is related to weaker markets in, primarily, Nordic countries and Southern Europe. Sports & Leisure has had a positive development, which is mainly related to good growth in Central Europe and the USA. However, the Swedish market and the mild winter have led to additional sales from stock not reaching up to last year's levels. Gifts & Home Furnishings sales are unchanged, with Sagaform performing well while Orrefors Kosta Boda had a decrease in its export markets.
Within our sales channels – promo and retail – we have seen a decrease in promo, but an increase in retail. The increase is mainly related to the regions Central Europe and the USA.
Gross profit margin was lower than last year, mainly due to our mix of clients and countries.
The Group's costs have increased compared to last year, which is mainly related to acquired units. Excluding acquisitions, costs have decreased due to cutbacks.
Result after tax amounted to SEK -8.2 million (SEK 5.7 million). The lower result is mainly due to the seasonal loss of SEK -7.2 million that our acquired units contributed, but also to a lower gross profit margin.
Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 45.0 million (SEK -142.6 million) and the improvement is primarily attributable to lower purchasing and better payment terms. Stock amounted to SEK 1,993 million as of 31 March, of which SEK 134 million refer to acquired units. Net debt amounted to SEK 1,727 million (SEK 1,528 million) and the debt-to-equity ratio to 83.8% (81.1%). The increases are related to last year's acquisitions, which amounted to SEK 258 million.
JANUARY–MARCH
Sales
Sales increased by SEK 47 million and amounted to SEK 975 million (SEK 928 million). Acquired units contributed by SEK 64 million or 7%.
The Corporate Promo operating segment decreased by 7% and sales decreased mainly in the Nordic countries and Southern Europe. Sports & Leisure increased its sales turnover by 20%, which mainly is related to the acquired units. Excluding acquisitions, sales increased by 3% where Central Europe and the USA have had good growth while Sweden has decreased. Gifts & Home Furnishings sales turnover was on par with last year. Sagaform has performed well, while Orrefors Kosta Boda sales decreased in its export markets.
Swedish sales dropped by 10% and the decrease occurred in both sales channels. Sales decreased by 3% in the other Nordic countries, but the Danish market, however, showed signs of growth. Sales increased by 1% in Central Europe and decreased by 11% in Southern Europe, which is mainly due to deteriorating market conditions. The USA increased by 43%, which is attributable to acquired units, but also a solid performance by Cutter & Buck.
Gross profit
Gross profit margin amounted 45.5% (46.8%). The decrease is mainly related to a mix of clients and countries.
Other operating income and other operating expenses
Other operating income decreased by SEK 4.1 million to SEK 8.5 million (SEK 12.6 million). Other operating income is mainly attributable to operating exchange gains and results should be compared to the line "Other operating expenses" in which primarily the company's foreign exchange losses are reported. Other operating expenses decreased by SEK 4.1 million to SEK -3.8 million (SEK -7.9 million). The net of above items amounted to SEK 4.7 million (SEK 4.7 million).
Expenses and depreciation
External expenses increased by SEK 5.7 million to SEK -247.2 million (SEK -241.5 million). Acquired units affected by SEK -20.1 million and other units have made cutbacks.
Personnel costs amounted to SEK -186.3 million, which is SEK 18.1 million higher than last year (SEK -168.2 million). The higher costs are mainly due to acquired units, which affected by SEK -14.9 million.
Depreciations amounted to SEK -11.9 million (SEK -11.1 million).
The operating margin decreased and amounted to 0.3% (1.9%), which is mainly due to lower gross profit as well as the acquired units' seasonal lower margins.
Net financial items and taxes
Net financial items amounted to SEK -14.0 million (SEK -9.9 million). The increase is due to higher net debt and higher interest rates. The higher net debt is primarily related to last year's acquisitions. It is the Group's policy to have short fixed-interest agreements resulting in quick effects on the Group's net interest as the short-term interest rate changes.
Taxes for the period relate to deferred tax assets and amounted to SEK 3.2 million (SEK -2.1 million). The tax rate amounted 28.1% (-26.9%).
Result for the period
Result after tax amounted to SEK -8.2 million (SEK 5.7 million) and earnings per share amounted to SEK -0.13 (SEK 0.08). Acquired units affected by SEK -7.2 million and the lower gross profit margin had a negative effect.
REPORTING OF OPERATING SEGMENTS
New Wave Group divides its operations into three segments, Corporate Promo, Sports & Leisure and Gifts & Home Furnishings. The Group monitors the segments' and brands' sales as well as profit (EBITDA). The operating segments are based on the Group's operational management.
Corporate Promo
Sales decreased by SEK 28 million in the period and amounted to SEK 383 million (SEK 411 million). The decrease is due to a decreased promo market, mainly in the Nordic countries and Southern Europe. Profit (EBITDA) decreased to SEK 12.9 million (SEK 24.6 million). The decrease is mainly due to lower sales.
Sports & Leisure
Sales increased by 20% in the period and amounted to SEK 465 million (SEK 389 million). The result (EBITDA) amounted to SEK 27.9 million, which was SEK 8.5 million lower than last year (SEK 36.4 million). The higher turnover is mainly due to acquired units, which contributed by SEK 64 million. The Group's American operation has had a positive sales development, while the segment's Swedish additional sales from stock have been negatively affected by the mild winter and have not reached up to last year's sales. The profit decrease is related to the acquired units, which affected negatively by SEK -8.4 million. The acquired units' loss is seasonal.
Gifts & Home Furnishings
Sales decreased by 1% in the period and amounted to SEK 127 million (SEK 128 million). The result (EBITDA) amounted to SEK -26.3 million, which was SEK 5.9 million better than last year (SEK -32.2 million). The segment has a sales increase related to Sagaform, but a decrease in Orrefors Kosta Boda's export markets. The improvement is related to Sagaform's increase and to cutbacks at Orrefors Kosta Boda.
GEOGRAPHICAL ALLOCATION
A table showing the turnover in the regions Sweden, Other Nordic countries, Central Europe, Southern Europe, the USA and Other countries can be found on page 14.
Swedish sales dropped by 10% in the January–March period and the decrease occurred in both sales channels. The other Nordic countries decreased due to lower sales in Finland and Norway. In Europe, primarily the Netherlands and Belgium are showing growth, while the other countries have decreased compared to last year. The U.S. operation increased sales by 43% with acquired units affecting by 26%. The sales increase is mainly related to the retail sales channel.
CAPITAL TIED UP
Capital tied up in goods has increased by SEK 306 million, of which acquired units have contributed by SEK 134 million. The increase is planned, as historically our inventories have been too low in some segments and periods. We have therefore not been able to achieve a satisfactory level of service to our clients. Inventory turnover rate amounted to 1.1 (1.2).
| 2012-03 | 2011-03 | |
|---|---|---|
| Raw materials | 65.4 | 75.8 |
| Work in progress | 18.1 | 15.9 |
| Goods in transit | 73.3 | 94.5 |
| Merchandise on stock | 1 836.0 | 1 500.7 |
| Total | 1 992.8 | 1 686.9 |
Obsolescence as of 31 March 2012 amounted to SEK 76 million (SEK 64 million) and is 4.2% (4.2%) of merchandise on stock.
Accounts receivable amounted to SEK 720 million (SEK 719 million) of which acquired units affected by SEK 40 million. Excluding acquisitions, accounts receivable decreased, which is related to improved payment terms. However, capital tied up in accounts receivable has been affected by the economic turbulence, mainly in Greece, which has meant that the Group has negotiated with clients and agents in countries deemed to be especially affected by these concerns and heightened risk.
INVESTMENTS, FINANCING AND LIQUIDITY
Th e Group's cash fl ow from operating activities improved by SEK 187.6 million and amounted to SEK 45.0 million (SEK -142.6 million). It is mainly the lower purchases and improved payment terms that have improved cash fl ow compared to last year. Th e Group's cash net investments decreased and amounted to SEK -10.8 million (SEK -27.1 million).
Net debt increased by SEK 199 million to SEK 1,727 million (SEK 1,528 million) compared to the same period last year, which is related to last year's acquisition of AHEAD and Paris Glove. Th e acquisitions amounted to a total of SEK 258 million. Th e acquisitions also caused the net debt to equity ratio and working capital to increase and they amounted to 83.8% (81.1%) and 77.7% (76.8%) respectively.
Th e equity ratio improved by 0.2 percentages and amounted to 44.2% (44.0%).
Th e Group's credit agreement has a credit limit of SEK 2,372 million where the main agreement amounts to SEK 2,200 million and is valid until 15 September 2013. Th e main agreement means that commitments (covenants) must be fulfi lled in order to maintain the agreement. Th e interest rate is based on each respective currency's base rate and a fi xed margin.
Based on the current forecast, it is the management's assessment that the Group will meet these covenants with suffi cient margin. It is the Group's policy to have short fi xed-interest agreements resulting in quick eff ects on the Group's net interest as the short-term interest rate changes.
PERSONNEL AND ORGANISATION
As of 31 March 2012 the number of employees amounted to 2,440 (2,181) persons, of which 49% were women and 51% were men. Out of the total number of employees, 664 (554) work in production. Th e production contained within the New Wave Group is attributable to AHEAD (embroidery), Cutter & Buck (embroidery), Dahetra, Orrefors Kosta Boda, Paris Glove, Seger and Toppoint. Acquired units aff ected with 360 employees, of which 147 work in production.

VIEWS ON 2012
For 2012 we expect a higher sales turnover and better result than the 2011 outcome.
THE PARENT COMPANY
Total income January–March amounted to SEK 35.4 million (SEK 42.3 million). Result before tax amounted to SEK -8.7 million (SEK 0.8 million). Net borrowing amounted to SEK 1,724 million (SEK 1,531 million), of which SEK 1,449 million (SEK 1,442 million) refer to fi nancing of subsidiaries. Net investments amounted to SEK -0.8 million (SEK -15.0 million). Th e balance sheet total amounted to SEK 3,340 million (SEK 3,425 million) and equity, including 73.7% of untaxed reserves, to SEK 1,090 million (SEK 1,379 million). Th e result has been negatively aff ected by SEK 10.4 million regarding impairment of fi xed assets. Th is is attributable to capital contribution in subsidiaries regarding previous years' losses. Th ese assets are not considered to add further value to the subsidiaries and have thus burdened the result.
RISKS AND RISK CONTROL
New Wave Group's international operations mean that it is continuously exposed to diff erent fi nancial risks. Th ese risks are currency, borrowings and interest rate risks, as well as liquidity and credit risks. In order to minimise the aff ect these risks may have on its result, the Group has drawn up a fi nancial policy. For a more detailed description of how the Group handles risks, please refer to the Annual Report 2011, www.nwg.se.
It is the Group's policy to have short fi xed-interest agreements resulting in quick eff ects on the Group's net interest as the short-term interest rate changes.
