Fredrik Zöögling, CEO and President of ProfilGruppen, comments:
"The coming decrease in demand that our customers signaled in the end of the first quarter made us take powerful measures quickly. The decrease turned out not to be as substantial as assessed and we have been able to run operations on a higher activity level than we thought, which is gratifying. Despite support for short-term layoffs and other measures we have not been able to adjust the costs to the decrease in turnover and the operating profit in the second quarter of the year is barely a profit. The activity level at many of our customers has been high also in the second quarter and several important framework agreements have been prolonged, which creates confidence."


Comments and actions due to covid-19
In March several of our customers closed their facilities which caused the demand to reduce significantly. Successively more and more customers have been affected by the change in demand, lack of material and other effects due to the spread of covid-19.
In April and May the turnover of ProfilGruppen decreased heavily to then recover pretty well in June. What the demand will be like after summer is hard to know and also how long this disruption will be.
ProfilGruppen has until now been gratefully spared from infection and has had short-term sick leave at normal levels.
In order to counteract the stress on both liquidity and profit that has occurred actions have been taken. Short-term layoffs was introduced already on the 23rd of March as the assessment was that demand was to decrease heavily during the second quarter. The decrease turned out not to be as heavy as assessed. The lay-offs during the second quarter have been on an average level of 20 percent, with a gradual increase of the working hours during the period.
Other actions that have been taken are for instance that no dividend will be paid for the financial year 2019, instead the liquidity will be kept within the company. We have terminated temporary employments and decreased costs where it is possible. We monitor our customer and their ability to pay closely and adjust our inventory levels to current needs.
There is a massive uncertainty regarding the future development of the situation, we follow the development carefully and take actions continuously.
Our amibition to adapt capacity and costs to the new acivitity level will not harm our delivery capacity. The customers that want deliveries will be able to rely on us the same way as always. We will also be prepared to rapidly increase the capacity when the market turns.
Turnover and result in the second quarter
The turnover for the Group in the second quarter of 2020 amounted to MSEK 316.8 (441.4), a decrease of about 28 percent compared to the same period previous year. The decrease is partly affected by a higher price for raw material.
The delivery volumes have decreased about 21 percent to 6,600 tonnes (8,400) of aluminium extrusions
The share of exports amounted to 41 percent (41) of delivered volume, and 49 percent (44) of the turnover.
During the second quarter the Group manufactured 6,350 tonnes (8,100) of aluminium extrusions.
The operating profit for the second quarter of the year amounted to MSEK 1.4 (28.5). This is equivalent to an operating margin of 0.4 percent (6.5).
The result has, compared to the same period last year, been affected negatively by lower production and delivery volumes and increased depreciations. Expected support for short-term layoffs have reduced personnel costs and affected the result positively by MSEK 10.9 (0.0) during the quarter. The support are reported as other operating revenue and requires a positive final decision from Tillväxtverket. The result has also been affected positively by MSEK 1.6 (0.0) from support actions regarding sick pay and payroll taxes.
Start-up costs, regarding a new production facility, of MSEK 2.0 (0.0) has affected the result.

Earnings per share totalled SEK 0.54 (no dilution), which has been affected by a revaulation of loans in euro, which has caused an unrealized currency effect during the quarter.
Turnover and result during the first six monts of the year
The operating profit for the first half of the year amounted to MSEK 717.9 (884.7), an decrease of about 19 per cent compared to previous year.
The delivery volume has decreased about 13 percent to 14,500 (16,650) aluminium profiles.
The share of exports amounted to 43 percent (43) of volume, and 50 per cent (46) of turnover.
During the first six months of the year the Group produced approximately 14,575 tonnes (16,850) of aluminium extrusions.
The operating profit amounted to MSEK 27.4 (64.1) during the first six months of the year. The ongoing pandemic has affected the result through a heavy decrease in turnover, mainly in the second quarter. Its negative effects on the result have been counteracted by some support actions, which has been commented under "Turnover and result in the second quarter". The result in the first quarter was affected at a limited extent by the affects due to the pandemic. Start up costs related to the new production facility affected the result by about MSEK 4.0.
The operating margin amounted to 3.8 percent (7.2). The profit before tax amounted to MSEK 20.4 (56.7).
The profit before tax amounted to MSEK 5.9 (24.1). Earnings per share (no dilution) totalled SEK 1.80 (5.66)
Investments during the first half year
Investments during the first six months of the year amounted to MSEK 46.2 (101.9), excluding changes in right of use assets.
A big investment in new production capacity for extrusion of aluminium profiles in Åseda is ongoing since last year and at the start of the year, the investment amounts to approximately MSEK 270.0. The project has affected the investments during the period by MSEK 32.0 (67.8). About MSEK 20 of the total investment remains before the project is closed.
Financing and liquidity
Cash flow from current operations amounted to MSEK 44.1 (-56.2) and after investments to MSEK -5.7 (-161.9). Exkluding the ongoing investment in new production capacity was the cash flow after other investments MSEK 82.3 (-21.6).
The liquidity reserve as of 30 June 2020 amounted to MSEK 176.6 (141.6). The current assets exceed the non-interestbearing liabilities with over MSEK 200. Our accounts receivables are to a large extent insured. In totalt this is giving us a strong fincial endurance for the time being.
The balance sheet total as of the end of the period was MSEK 1,108.6 (1,062.0).
Net debt as of 30 June 2020 amounted to MSEK 313.6 (332.2) and net debt/EBITDA to 2,2 (2,0). ProfilGruppen's target for net debt/EBITDA is < 2,0.
The net debt exckluding the investment in new production capacity is MSEK 20.9 which is equivalent to a net debt/EBITDA of 0.1 times.




Personnel
The average number of employees in the Group during the period was 458 (463). The number employees as of 30 June 2020 totalled 452 (468). During the second quarter of the year has ProfilGruppen introduced short-term layoffs in a extent of about 20 per cent of working time in average, with a gradual increase of working hours during the period.
CFO Ulrika Bergmo Sköld left the company July 7, and will be replaced by Niklas Danielsson at August 24. Meanwhile, Ulrika Svensson is acting CFO.
Significant risks and uncertain factors
A pandemic has affected the world during 2020 and is still ongoing. Its spread and effects hasn't been able to been predicted. ProfilGruppen is affected in several ways and there is a huge uncertainty about the future effects.
Otherwise, the company's risks and risk management have not significantly changed since publishing the 2019 Annual Report.
Outlook for 2020
There is a massive uncertainty of how and to what extent the ongoing pandemic will affect our customers, suppliers and us during the coming quarters. The take over of the new production facility has been somewhat delayed due to disruptions caused by the pandemic. The depreciations during the second quarter will be about MSEK 8 higher than in the first six months related to the project.
The result of 2020 for ProfilGruppen will be substantially lower than the result of 2019 and we will not be able to reach our financial targets.
Outlooks for 2020 published on April 9, 2020:
In the current situation there is a massive uncertainty regarding the market development in 2020. We do not know how the ongoing spread of covid-19 will affect our customers, suppliers and us. We can, however, come to the conclusion that the result of 2020 will be substantially lower than the result of 2019 and that we will not be able to reach our financial targets.
Calendar
Interim reports for the third quarter of 2020 will be provided at October 20, 2020, 14:00.
