CEO's comment
FOCUS ON SALES GROWTH
A highly prioritized area is to continue to increase customer numbers. Over the last few years, we've extended our already solid customer base with a relatively high number of new customers. Most of these are SMEs that we've provided industrialization services for (services sales, prototypes and pilot batches). We now have an even better understanding of which customer relations have the potential to grow and carry on into serial production and higher volumes.
We're also working hard to develop existing customer relations, and it's pleasing that we've extended and deepened our collaboration with many existing customers in the first six months of the year.
We're continuing to experience significant interest in our plant in China. In the second quarter, we decided to invest in a new cutting-edge surface-mount assembly line in order to significantly boost our production capacity in China.
Based on our strategic agenda, we continued working methodically to reinforce our customer offering as a manufacturing and logistics partner for electronics production, from design to after-sales. The goal is to increase our market share and ensure profitable growth for NOTE's business. We're focusing particularly on developing the process relating to new product introductions (NPI) and maintaining good quality and delivery precision. We recently improved our ability to assist our customers with advanced advice relating to components and materials selection—a promising initiative that that we and several of our customers are already benefitting from. All these areas are crucial to our customers' total cost and our competitiveness.
Our Nearsourcing business model is strong, and tailored for the high mix/low volume market segment. It's based on developing business at our Nearsourcing Centres in Sweden, Norway, Finland and the UK in close collaboration with customers. Usually, we conduct labour-intensive volume production at our Industrial Plants in Estonia and China.
PROGRESS JANUARY-JUNE
After a protracted period of fading volumes, we achieved sales growth in the final quarter of last year. Coupled with sales growth of 7% in the first half of this year, I consider this a sign of strength despite the relatively modest European business cycle.
At the end of the period, NOTE's order book, which consists of a combination of fixed orders and
customer forecasts, supported a continued volume growth compared to the previous year.
Last year, we reported that we'd secured a promising project with a Swedish customer in the communications segment. In this project we anticipate that larger-scale manufacture can commence in the second half-year.
We have a good track record in terms of the flexibility of our cost base during periods of contracting volumes. Despite higher sales and production volumes in the first half-year, and challenging conditions for utilisation at several of our units, we kept the cost increase to 3%. This meant that operating profit improved to SEK 13.3 (3.9) million, corresponding to an operating margin of 2.8% (0.9%). In the second quarter, operating profit improved to SEK 7.5 (3.6) million and operating margin to 3.0% (1.5%).
NOTE's business places high demands on efficient utilisation of working capital. This means that we're working actively to continuously develop logistics solutions, reduce lead times and deepen our collaborations with strategic suppliers. We continued to make advances in several of these areas, which enhances our competitiveness and contributes to continued financial stability. Despite the growth, cash flow after investments for the first six months of the year was SEK 14.9 (-6.0) million. We have a solid balance sheet—the equity to assets ratio was just over 42% at the end of the period.
For some time now, we've considered that we've achieved sector leadership in terms of delivery precision and quality. We work methodically to make continuous improvements, and overall, the services we offer our customers are strong and competitive.
FUTURE
We've now achieved sales growth for three consecutive quarters and foresee good prospects for expanding our business. At the same time, we approach coming market trends and our customers' plans for the future with great humility.
We will work hard to maintain and develop the working methods and attitudes we've introduced in order to win new business, continue the streamlining process and ensure successful working capital utilisation.

Sales and results of operations
SALES, JANUARY-JUNE
Demand remained relatively weak on several European markets in the first half of the year. In Sweden, demand was lower, primarily from customers with project-oriented business. On several others of NOTE's domestic markets demand was stronger. Finland and the UK in particular experienced rising demand. Progress in Norway was more stable.
NOTE endeavours to secure long-term customer relations and partnerships. For some time, extensive work has been done in order to extend the customer base to increase sales and capacity utilisation in the group's units. As a result of these market initiatives, NOTE has recently entered into a relatively high number of new customer relations.
The start-up of new customer partnerships is usually relatively time- and resource-intensive. Following a period of fading sales, NOTE returned sales growth of just over 6% in the fourth quarter last year. Positive progress continued in the period. Sales in the first half-year were SEK 480.4 (450.9) million, up by 7%. Sales were according to plan. Growth was the result of new product sales to existing customers and increased volumes from relatively new customers feeding through.
Direct sales from Industrial Plants in Estonia and China continued to grow. These sales, mainly to customers in Europe, continued to perform positively, representing 27% (20%) of total sales. To some extent, the increase was an effect of transfer of customer responsibilities to Industrial Plants.
NOTE sells to a large customer base, essentially active in the engineering and communication industries in the Nordics and UK. Mainly as a result of the larger customer base, mostly SMEs, NOTE's 15 largest customers in sales terms represented 56% (58%) of the group's sales. As in the previous year, no single customer (group) represented more than some 8% of total sales.
At the end of the period, the group's order book, which consists of a combination of fixed orders and customer forecasts, supported sustained positive volume growth compared to the previous year.
As for last year, the situation on the global market for electronic components remained relatively stable. However, the trend towards longer lead times continued for some categories of electronics components.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, JANUARY-JUNE
As part of NOTE's ambition to create the right conditions for further sales growth and increased capacity utilisation, NOTE is conducting methodical improvement work at all its units. This work is conducted locally at each unit and through a number of group-wide projects. The focus is on measures that improve delivery precision and quality, as well as rationalisations in terms of costs and working capital.
In the first half-year, manufacturing and sales volumes grew by 7%. The cost increase was limited to 3%, mainly as a result of continued rationalisations. As a result of the stable cost trend in combination with higher volumes, gross margin increased by 1.9 percentage points to 10.1% (8.2%).
Mainly as a result of increased measures intended to strengthen the sales organisation, sales and administration overheads increased by 5%, and were 7.3% (7.4%) of sales.
Other operating expenses/income, primarily consisting of revaluations of foreign currency assets and liabilities, were SEK 0.0 (0.2) million
Primarily due to increased volumes, operating profit improved by SEK 9.4 million to SEK 13.3 (3.9) million, corresponding to an operating margin of 2.8% (0.9%).
Net financial income/expense improved to SEK -2.4 (-2.6) million. Profit after financial items was SEK 10.9 (1.3) million, corresponding to a profit margin of 2.3% (0.3%).
Profit after tax was SEK 8.8 (0.9) million, correspondding to SEK 0.31 (0.03) per share. The tax expense for the period corresponded to 19% (31%) of profit before tax.
SALES AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, APRIL-JUNE
Sales continued to grow in the second quarter, and increased by 5% to SEK 247.6 (236.1) million. Market conditions remained relatively weak in several industrial sectors in Europe. This meant that the continued growth was substantially due to sales of new product generations to established customers and increased volumes to relatively new customer relations. Compared to the first quarter of the year, normally somewhat weaker in seasonal terms, sales increased by 6% (10%). Sales from Industrial Plants in Estonia and China continued to make positive progress, and contributed 27% (22%) of sales in the second quarter.
Higher manufacturing and sales volumes, coupled with stable costs, contributed to an increase in gross margin of 1.6 percentage points to 10.5% (8.9%).
A sustained focus on sales and marketing meant that sales and administration overheads grew by 8% compared to the corresponding quarter in the previous year. Expenses were 7.3% (7.0%) of sales in the second quarter.
Other operating expenses/income, primarily consisting of revaluations of foreign currency assets and liabilities, were SEK -0.4 (-0.7) million.
The operating profit for the period was SEK 7.5 (3.6) million, corresponding to an operating margin of 3.0% (1.5%).
Profit after financial items was SEK 7.1 (2.6) million.
PROVISION FOR BAD DEBT 2012-2013
In the third quarter 2013, NOTE made a final provision for bad debt for one of its customers. The provision corresponds to the total risk exposure that applied to the customer and totalled SEK 21.0 million, of which SEK 8.4 million was charged to operating profit in 2013. Limited sales and recovery of previously written-off inventories occurred in the first half-year of 2014.
ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
The Annual General Meeting in April adopted the Nomination Committee's proposal to re-elect Kjell-Åke Andersson, Bruce Grant, Stefan Johansson and Henry Klotz, and to elect Daniel Nyhrén and Kristian Teär as Board members for the period until the following AGM. Kristian Teär was elected as Chairman of the Board. A resolution was also reached to authorise the Board of Directors to acquire and transfer treasury shares.

Financial position, cash flow and investments
CASH FLOW
Competing successfully in the high mix/low volume market segment sets high standards on flexible production, good supply of materials and effective logistics solutions. Accordingly, NOTE faces a major challenge in continuously improving its working methods and internal processes in these segments. This challenge is especially apparent in rapid cyclical demand upturns and downturns, and relates mainly to the complexity of materials supply and changing leadtimes of electronic components.
Although some extension to lead-times for electronic components became apparent, as in the previous year, the global market for electronic components was fairly stable, and with good access to components. This benefitted NOTE's materials planning and logistics. Against this, the final market for several of NOTE's customers remained poor, translating into continued caution by several customers in terms of placing longer orders and forecasts. Overall, this meant fairly inconsistent utilisation of the group's production units with shorter batches and re-planning of materials sourcing and production as a result.
The sustained sales growth coupled with challenging market conditions for many customers meant that stocks increased by 7% in the quarter and by 10% compared to the end of the first half-year 2013.
Sales in the second quarter increased by 5%. However, at the end of the period accounts receivable—trade were approximately 1% down on the corresponding period of the previous year. Accordingly, the number of days of credit was significantly lower compared to the corresponding period last year.
Accounts payable—trade, which mainly relate to sourced electronic components and other production materials, were up 15% on the corresponding period last year. NOTE's initiative to concentrate sourcing on fewer, quality-assured suppliers contributed to a significant increase in efficiency in utilisation of working capital. The number of days of credit to suppliers was significantly higher compared to the end of the first six months last year.
Cash flow (after investments) was stronger than planned in the first quarter. For the first six months, cash flow was SEK 14.9 (-6.0) million, corresponding to SEK 0.52 (-0.21) per share.
EQUITY TO ASSETS RATIO
According to NOTE's externally communicated financial target, the equity to assets ratio should not fall below 30%. The equity to assets ratio at the end of the period was 42.3% (43.2%).
LIQUIDITY
NOTE is maintaining a sharp focus on measures to further improve the group's liquidity and cash flow.
The group's available cash and cash equivalents, including unutilised overdraft facilities, were SEK 115.8 (99.3) million at the end of the period.
Pledged accounts receivable—trade were some SEK 110 (132) million.
INVESTMENTS
Capital expenditure on property, plant and equipment amounted to SEK 6.5 (7.5) million in the period, corresponding to 1.4% (1.7%) of sales. Depreciation and amortization according to plan were SEK 3.9 (5.7) million.
Investments were mainly in rationalisation and quality improvement projects. In order to significantly boost capacity in electronics manufacturing at NOTE's Industrial Plant in China, a decision was made to invest in a new cutting-edge surface-mount assembly line in the second half-year.
Parent company
Parent company NOTE AB (publ) is primarily focused on the management, co-ordination and development of the group. In the period, revenue was SEK 18.7 (19.4) million, and mainly related to intra-group services. The profit after tax was SEK 1.9 (0.4) million. Net financial income/expense for the first quarter included dividend from a subsidiary of SEK 3.6 (0.0) million.
Significant operational risks
NOTE is a northern European manufacturing and logistics leader in electronics production. NOTE has especially strong market positioning in the high mix/low volume market segment, i.e. for products in short to medium-sized batches that require high technology competence and flexibility. NOTE produces PCBAs, sub-assemblies and box build products. NOTE's offering covers the complete product life-cycle, from design to after-sales.
NOTE's focus on Nearsourcing, targeting increased sales growth in combination with reduced overheads and investment costs in high-cost countries, is a way of reducing the risks of operations.
TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES
As in the previous year, transactions with related parties were at a negligible level.
For a more detailed review of the group's operational and financial risks, refer to the Risks section on page 14, the Report of the Directors on pages 34-35 and Note 23 Financial risks and finance policy on page 51, of NOTE's Annual Report for 2013.
NOTE's operations place fairly high demands on working capital funding. Accordingly, NOTE has a sharp focus on managing liquidity risk.
Certification
This Interim Report gives a true and fair view of the parent company's and group's operations, financial position and results of operations, and reviews the significant risks and uncertainty factors facing the parent company and group companies.
