Rejlers - A Great Place to Work

January-March

  • Turnover amounted to SEK 276.8 million (198.7)
  • Sales growth amounted to 39 percent of which 17 percent organic
  • Operating profit was SEK 27.6 million (11.5)
  • Operating margin amounted to 10.0 per cent (5.8)
  • Profit after tax was SEK 18.0 million (8.0)
  • Earnings per share were SEK 1.59 (0.74)

Statement from Managing Director and CEO Peter Rejler

Business was better than expected in the first quarter of the year: we increased both our capacity utilization and orders received. We managed to come third in the "Great place to work, the best place to work in Sweden 2011" competition, beaten only by Microsoft and Accenture.

The prospects for all Rejlers' areas look good going forward. Our Industry segment, which has the most potential to improve, has found that customers are prepared to invest once more. The number of requests for quotations is increasing steadily, although from a relatively low level. Other customer groups are showing a major need to invest, with continuing sales as a result. We have extended our business geographically in recent times, by moving into Russia and Norway and opening a couple of new offices in Sweden. This guarantees more stability, through more markets being available for all Rejlers' competences. The challenge where our market share is growing will be to recruit the right competences and make good acquisitions. The first three months of the year indicate growth will remain good, as will opportunities for new acquisitions.

In April, we acquired the remaining 45 percent of Lausamo Oy in the construction and property market, which has around 50 staff, including 10 in Moscow, so we now own all shares in the company. In the face of stiff competition, Rejlers has signed design and construction contracts with Neste Jacobs Oy. In Sweden, Rejlers has signed master agreements with the Swedish Transport Administration (Trafikverket), making us the main supplier in project management, project managers and project engineers in Stockholm, Gävle and Malmö.

Rejlers is focusing on recruiting new staff and will continue to make strategic acquisitions. Our vision is unchanged: more than 2015 staff and more than SEK 2015 million by 2015. We expect the 2011 results to be better than 2010.

Turnover and profits

Turnover in the first quarter was SEK 276.8 million (198.7) and the operating profit was SEK 27.6 million (11.5). Of the sales growth of 39 percent is 17 percent attributable to organic growth. The operating margin amounted to 10.0 percent (5.8). The number of working days during the first quarter was 62 (61). Debiting ratio was 76 percent (73).

The profit after net financial items amounted to 25.3 MSEK (11.4) and the profit after tax was 18.0 MSEK (8.0). Financial income amounted to SEK 0.4 million (0.2), and financial expenses amounted to SEK -2.7 million (- 0.3).

In Finland, the turnover in Swedish Krona has been affected negatively due to the weakening of the Euro. Our turnover was up 34 percent in the first quarter of 2011 stated in euros, compared with the same period in 2010. Compared with the same period in 2010, we have acquired the Råbe companies, Per Schönbeck Elprojekt, APAS Energiteknikk and Lausamo.

Transactions with related parties took place under market conditions and they have not affected the earnings of the group significantly.

Significant events during the first quarter and since the end of the period

Rejlers was voted number three in large organisations to work for this year, beaten only by Microsoft and Accenture. This was the first time the company was involved in the competition held by the Great Place to Work Institute, which has built up knowledge of what makes a good place to work over many years.

Rejlers subsidiary Rejlers Oy in Finland has in April acquired the remaining 45 percent of Insinööritoimisto Lausamo Oy, and now owns all shares in the company. Lausamo was founded in 1984 and offers consultancy services to construction and property customers in electricity, automation and telecommunications. Lausamo has offices in Vantaa and has a good reputation and market position in the Helsinki area, and also in other parts of Finland. Lausamo is also involved in Russia via its subsidiary LLC Lausamo Project, with offices in Moscow. Lausamo has around 50 staff in all, and sales of around € 3.7 m p.a.

Rejlers has signed contracts with Neste Jacobs Oy for design and construction in mechanical engineering for electrical, instrumentation, automation and process control and telecommunications. These contracts cover the period 2011-2012, and are a major step in Rejlers' long-term relations with the company. As a designated Neste Jacobs supplier, Rejlers believes our orders will continue to grow well in the coming years.

The electoral committee proposes to the Annual General Meeting that Anders Jonsson be elected as member of the Board and other Board members be re-elected.

Rejlers Sweden

Our Swedish operating segment comprises group companies Rejlers Ingenjörer AB, Rejlers Energitjänster AB, ComIT Rejlers AB, Rejlers Drift och Underhåll AB and Estonian company OÜ and Norwegian companies Rejlers AS and APAS Energiteknikk AS. Rejlers Sweden provides consultancy services in the fields of electrical engineering, energy, mechanical engineering, automation, electronics, IT and telecommunications, primarily to four customer groups: Infrastructure, Industry, Energy, and Construction and property. Rejlers also offers energy metering services to utility companies, electricity trading companies and property companies. Rejlers Sweden had 824 (630) employees at the year end.

The market

The market for consultancy services amongst Rejlers' customer groups continues to improve, with demand increasing and order books good. We are recruiting staff for all customer groups, but are restricted by a lack of experienced consultants in the market. Our debiting ratio and incoming orders are increasing, but price pressures are still evident.

Our industrial customers are becoming increasingly active, including workshops and mining. As the economy improves, this is reflected clearly in ever more enquiries and orders. We believe orders from our industrial customers will continue to increase in the first half of 2011.

In Energy, orders and capacity utilisation remain high. Rejlers consultancy services are much in demand in wind power and for regional and local network designers. Vattenfall, one of Rejlers' largest energy customers, hired ten consultants recently. Rejlers has also won an extended contract for Svenska Kraftnät.

Demand in the nuclear energy market remains strong. The natural disaster in Japan probably means new build projects will be deferred, focusing on making existing nuclear power stations safer instead. During this quarter, Rejlers has won new contracts at Forsmark, Oskarshamn and Ringhals. Rejlers coordinates its resources in nuclear energy in Sweden and Finland so we can take on larger contracts.

Rejlers Energitjänster has won many new contracts in wind power in 'green' electricity and green electricity certificates. Investing heavily in new wind farms is expected to generate new orders in the coming years. Interest in metering services is increasing as one way of saving energy. Rejlers Energitjänster offers services in both gathering and analysing such data.

Rejlers consultants are extremely busy in Infrastructure, and growth is expected to remain healthy. Major investments are planned in the next few years, including in rail traffic, and in the government's spring budget, Trafikverket was given a further SEK 800 million to upgrade the rail network. Rejlers signed a master agreement with Trafikverket this quarter.

In Telecoms, major expansion projects are underway including 4G mobile and Fiber to the home in fixed networks. Rejlers continues to win contracts in project management, network planning and design etc. Customers we worked for during the period included Telia Sonera, Telenor and Trafikverket.

Investment in construction and property is expected to remain high in the next few years, in plant construction, housing, hospitals, sports facilities and commercial development. Rejlers has continued to win many orders for work in city regions for both public and private construction, which is what our business in the Construction and property customer group focuses on.

Rejlers AS in Norway, which is part of our Swedish operating segment, won a major contract for Nødnett recently, and has now established a telecommmunications group. We put resources into marketing and establishing the group in the Norwegian telecommmunications market this quarter. APAS Energiteknikk, which we acquired at the end of 2010/early 2011, continues its business in analysing and consultancy in using energy etc. and complements Rejlers' activities in Energy services.

Examples of assignments during the first quarter and after the end of period

  • Rejlers has signed a master agreement with Trafikverket. Rejlers will be Trafikverket's main contractor as project manager, design manager and design engineers in Stockholm, Gävle and Malmö and number two supplier of these competences in Gothenburg.
  • Rejlers won orders for a number of new wind energy projects at the start of the year, covering inspecting wind farms for our customers Rabbalshede Kraft and Arise Windpower and design work for Statkraft/SCA, where our consultants are designing an internal collection network for the wind farm at Mörttjärnsberget. At Skaraborg, we have also won a contract to conduct a natural impact assessment of wind energy connections for Skara Energi.
  • Dematek has engaged Rejlers to make control calculations of the components used in an opening roof on the Stockholmsarena.
  • New contracts in nuclear energy include new cooling water reserve runoffs at Forsmark, cooling backup diesel power units at Oskarshamn and improving the containment vessel integrity at Ringhals.
  • BAE Systems Hägglunds AB of Örnsköldsvik has outsourced all its tool handling to Rejlers. This partnership runs until 2013 in the first instance, and covers everything from developing new production and maintenance tools for document care for existing ones. It also includes buying in and producing hardware.

Rejlers FinlandU

Our business in Finland is operated by our group companies Rejlers Finland Oy, Rejlers Oy, Elmil Oy, Rejlers Projektit Oy and Insinööritoimisto Lausamo Oy. Rejlers is involved at 14 locations in Finland and in Moscow. Rejlers Finland provides consultancy services in the fields of electrical engineering, automation, mechanical engineering, heating, ventilation and sanitation, energy, environmental technology and architecture, as well as turnkey deliveries mainly to major industrial customers, but also to Rejlers' other customer groups: Infrastructure, Construction and property and Energy. The number of employees at the end of the year was 351 (307), of which 9 (55) were temporarily laid off.

The market

The Finnish economy continued to improve in the first quarter, and this upward trend is expected to continue: many forecasters are saying GDP will increase by 4 percent in 2011. Increasing investment and capacity utilisation are increasing demand for technical consultancy services. Layoffs at our Finnish companies are down significantly in all customer groups.

Order levels from our industrial customers are good, and many of them are experiencing high levels of demand. Rejlers has taken staff who were laid off in mechanical engineering back again and recruited new staff. Rejlers also won many new contracts from the shipbuilding industry during the quarter.

Business in the Energy customer group is mainly with customers in the electricity, bioenergy and oil markets. The energy area is considered to have good prospects, and investment levels remain high. This year, Rejlers has signed a new contract with Neste Jacobs Oy for design and construction services in mechanical engineering and involving electrical, instrumentation, automation and process control and telecoms technology. This contract is a strategically important step in Rejlers' long-term relations with the company. Rejlers has also won new projects in automatic meter reading (AMR).

Orders for major infrastructural projects are flowing in well, especially for environmental and rail projects. The company is also setting up a new business for consultancy services for road projects.

Demand for consultancy services in Construction and property is good, with orders and recruitment required up. Our Construction and property business has expanded considerably through acquiring Lausamo. Rejlers has today around 50 Construction and property staff in the Helsinki area. Lausamo also works in Moscow, including with Western European companies in the Moscow area.

Examples of contracts in the first quarter and since the end of the period

  • Rejlers Oy has had an order from Koja Marine Ltd., a market leader in HVAC and marine solutions for today's cruise ships. Rejlers' contract covers managing HVAC systems for Viking Lines' new cruise liners, which are fitted with natural gas-fired engines.
  • In the first quarter, LLC Lausamo, the business Rejlers acquired in Moscow recently, conducted its design of a major logistics and distribution centre for Stockmann in the Moscow region.
  • LLC Lausamo Project has won an order to design a new food industry plant of 13,000 m2 in the Moscow region. This contract covers architecture, construction and the design of HVAC and electrical systems.

Significant risks and uncertainties

All enterprise is associated with a certain level of risk-taking. Rejlers' primary business risks consist of reduced demand for consultancy services, difficulties in recruitment and retention of competent personnel, loss of personnel in connection with acquisitions, risks associated with fixed price assignments and credit risks.

Rejlers' strategy is to have customers in various industries and to work actively to transfer resources following changes in demand, in order to even-out fluctuations in demand. Employees are a key asset and Rejlers therefore places significant emphasis on good workplaces, ongoing training and health in order to retain existing staff and as a means of achieving our growth targets. Acquisitions create added value for both the purchasing and acquired companies, which helps limit the risk of losing employees. Rejlers, for the most part, has financially strong customers and the credit risk is considered to be low. The majority of sales and borrowing takes place in local currency, which ultimately results in a very low currency risk. Fixed price assignments comprise a small part of the turnover but nonetheless constitute a risk. Rejlers therefore has a system for monitoring and following up on such assignments in order to minimise the risk of depreciation.

The parent company, to a minor extent, pursues activities in which the risks are mainly limited to currency and liquidity risks.
