The billing ratio increased in all segments during the second quarter, compared with both the first quarter and the previous year. However growth was marked by weak development for Rejlers Norway, fewer working days and continuing reorganisation of activities. Profits reduced compared with the corresponding quarter the previous year, but viewed over the first six months the profit position improved somewhat. Profit development in the quarter were considerably affected by SEK 12.1 million in restructuring costs, most of which are related to Rejlers Norway, as well as the quarter's negative calendar effects. During the quarter, we initiated a programme of powerful measures for Rejlers Norway's operations, so as to reduce the cost base and increase efficiency in current projects.
We show a sales increase of about 2 per cent. The growth in the second quarter of the year is a result of having fewer working days and the continuing reorganisation of activities, with less profitable areas being wound up. We see robust growth in Rejlers Finland, where market conditions now look brighter in a number of business areas. Rejlers Embriq increases sales from operating agreements, while growth in Rejlers Sweden was affected by previous years' reorganisation of industrial activities. Development in Rejlers Norway has been weak, as a result of a generally low utilization and a low level of activity in a number of large projects.
Adjusted EBITA fell to SEK 1.7 million (29.2), which is mainly explained by continuing profitability problems for Rejlers Norway, and the calendar effect of having fewer working days during the quarter. In spite of the poorer profit position, it is pleasing that the ongoing reorganisation is resulting in a higher general level of efficiency in activities and that the billing ratio continued to grow in all segments during the quarter. Rejlers Sweden and Rejlers Finland improved operating profit for the first half-year compared to the same period previous year.
At the start of the quarter, Thomas Pettersen assumed responsibility for Rejlers' entire Norwegian operation. Through this change we are creating both business and administrative synergies between the operations of Rejlers Norway and Rejlers Embriq. We have also initiated a powerful programme of measures to reduce the cost base and increase efficiency in current assignments. I am convinced that this will improve profitability at Rejlers Norway in the longer term.
We now have a strong financial position following the new share issue and we are well equipped to continue the reorganisation work. Strategic initiatives including the area of energy are providing us with the right conditions to secure and further strengthen our market position in the Nordic region. The rights issue was completed during the second quarter and brought the company SEK 192.1 million. We have a negative cash flow from operating activities mainly due to losses in Rejlers Norway and the uneven cash flow in Rejler Embriq.
Demand for our services remains good in all segments and we are continuously strengthening our position in the market. We are continuing the transformation into a more efficient organisation and operation with the goal of increasing the operating margin to 8 per cent over time at the same time that we achieve our growth target.
Stockholm, July 2017 Peter Rejler
"We are continuing the transformation into a more efficient organisation and operation with the goal of increasing the operating margin to 8 per cent over time at the same time that we achieve our growth target."
Profit/loss items and cash flow are compared with the corresponding period in the previous year. Balance sheet items pertain to the position at the end of the period and are compared with the immediately preceding accounts.
Net sales totalled SEK 623.0 million (608.2), an increase of 2 per cent compared to the corresponding period the previous year. The growth was affected by fewer working days in the quarter and a continued transformation of the business with the elimination of less profitable areas. Organic growth excluding exchange rate fluctuations was 0 per cent.
As of the first quarter of 2017, Rejlers has used the key performance indicator of adjusted EBITA, which is a measure that Rejlers considers to be relevant for investors who wish to understand profit generation excluding items affecting comparability. Adjusted EBITA decreased to SEK 1.7 million (29.2) corresponding to an adjusted EBITA margin of 0.3 per cent (4.8).
Operating profit/loss amounted to SEK -14.4 million (22.6). The weakening is mainly due to SEK 12.1 million in restructuring costs, continued profitability problems for Rejlers Norway as a result of low efficiency in several major assignments and also due to the negative calendar effect with fewer working days during the quarter. The quarter had three fewer workdays in Sweden and Finland, and four fewer workdays in Norway compared with the previous year. The operating profit/loss of the previous year was affected by items affecting comparability of SEK 12.1 million for the restructuring of the operations in Norway and Sweden.
The quarter's financial income amounted to SEK 0.5 million (3.6) and pertains mainly to currency translations. Financial expenses amounted to SEK 2.4 million (0.8) and are mainly attributable to interest expenses and currency translations.
The tax income for the quarter amounted to SEK 5.8 million (tax cost: 7.0), corresponding to an effective tax rate of -36 per cent (28). The reduced tax expense is mainly attributable to increased deductible costs.
Profit/loss after tax for the period amounted to SEK -10.5 million (18.4). Earnings per share amounted to SEK -0.89 (1.39) both before and after dilution.
During the quarter, the Group generated a cash flow from operating activities of SEK -16.0 million (10.7), mainly due to losses in Rejlers Norway and the uneven cash flow in Rejler Embriq.
Revenue per quarter Revenue rolling 12 months
Net sales totalled SEK 1,253.0 million (1,167.4), an increase of 7 per cent compared to the corresponding period the previous year. This growth is mainly attributable to a strong development in the Rejlers Embriq and Rejlers Finland segments. Organic growth excluding exchange rate fluctuations was 4 per cent.
As of the first quarter of 2017, Rejlers has used the key performance indicator of adjusted EBITA, which is a measure that Rejlers considers to be relevant for investors who wish to understand profit generation excluding items affecting comparability. Adjusted EBITA increased to SEK 34.7 million (32.3) corresponding to an adjusted EBITA margin of 2.8 per cent (2.8).
Operating profit/loss amounted to SEK 15.3 million (16.6). The operating profit/loss of the previous year was affected by items affecting comparability of SEK 12.1 million for the restructuring of the operations in Norway and Sweden.
The quarter's financial income amounted to SEK 1.6 million (4.5) and pertains mainly to currency translations. Financial expenses amounted to SEK 4.8 million (2.3) and are mainly attributable to interest expenses and currency translations.
The tax expense for the interim period amounted to SEK 1.4 million (5.9), corresponding to an effective tax rate of 12 per cent (31). The reduced tax expense is mainly attributable to increased deductible costs.
Profit/loss after tax for the period amounted to SEK 10.7 million (12.9). Earnings per share amounted to SEK 0.71 (0.93) both before and after dilution.
During the period, the Group generated a cash flow from operating activities of SEK -26.2 million (-2.6), largely due to losses in Rejlers Norway and the uneven cash flow in Rejler Embriq.
Consolidated cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period amounted to SEK 79.0 million compared to SEK 64.9 million on 31 March 2017. The change in cash and cash equivalents was affected by amortisation including adjusted overdraft facilities of SEK 114.2 million. The new share issue that was carried out during the period increased funds by SEK 192.1 million.
Interest-bearing liabilities decreased by SEK 114.7 million compared to 31 March 2017 and amounted to SEK 173.7 million at the end of the period. Net liabilities amounted to SEK 115.5 million, compared with SEK 244.2 million as at 31 December 2016.
The ratio of net liabilities to EBITDA amounted to 1.6 at the end of the period compared with 3.3 on 31 December 2016. The equity/assets ratio amounted to 52.2 per cent compared with 40.6 on 31 December 2016.
Equity per share was SEK 40.81 at the end of the period compared to SEK 41.50 as of 31 December 2016. The Group's overdraft facilities of SEK 50.0 million (50.0) are entirely unutilised.

Investments in tangible assets amounted to SEK 3.5 million (5.1) during the period and mainly pertain to servers and other IT equipment while investments in intangible assets, mainly attributable to the development of IT platforms at Rejlers Embriq, amounted to SEK 14.9 million (17.1). Investments in subsidiaries and businesses amounted to SEK 16.1 million (1.2). Depreciation, amortisation and impairment losses amounted to SEK 23.5 million (20.4).
The billing ratio increased to 75.3 per cent (72.7), mainly as a result of higher order volumes in Finland and Sweden.
At the end of the period, there were 2,053 employees (1,980). There were 1,976 full-year employees (1,963). At the end of the period, 3 (19) employees in Finland and 4 (4) in Norway had been laid off.
Net sales for the parent company during the period amounted to SEK 14.0 million (11.2) and the profit/loss before tax amounted to SEK -15.2 million (-4.3).
Rejlers is affected by seasonal variations and calendar effects. The respective quarters are relatively comparable over the years, but are affected by minor calendar effects, such as when in time Easter occurs. Sales are normally higher in the first, second and fourth quarters and lower in the third quarter when the order volume decreases in size due to holidays. Similar seasonal variations occur in all geographic markets.
After three years as the CEO of Rejlers Norge AS, Morten Thorkildsen left the post. Thomas Pettersen, CEO of Rejlers Embriq AS, also took up the position as CEO of Rejlers Norge AS on 21 April.

As a result of the rights issue that was completed during the quarter, the number of shares and votes at Rejlers changed in April 2017. The total number of shares in Rejlers amounts to 18,087,909, of which 1,749,250 are Class A shares and 16,338,659 Class B shares. The number of votes at Rejlers now totals 33,831,159.
Rejlers' competence in energy and previous collaboration with Enercon of Germany have led to the parties now signing an agreement for a number of services involving project planning, project management, construction, electrical safety, legal advice and training. Enercon is now starting work on building a further 77 wind power generators in Markbygden outside Piteå.
Rejlers Norway has signed a long-term framework contract with Oppland County for technical consultancy and electrical project planning in the county's building projects. The framework agreement is for two years, with the option of a further year.
The agreement covers installation, operation and administration of Valo Intranet for Norwegian Church Aid's 500 users in 20 field offices located all over the world. Norwegian Church Aid is one of the largest aid organisations in the Nordic region, annually administering grants and contributions of around NOK 1 billion and with a presence in 31 countries.
Rejlers has been engaged by Sponda Oyj to plan electrical systems for office buildings and car parks in the Helsinki area that are to be renovated. The office complex is 60,000 square metres and renovations will continue for a number of years.
Related party transactions take place on market-based terms.

As a result of the rights issue that Rejlers AB previously provided information on, the number of shares and votes in Rejlers changed in April 2017.

The reorganisation of the Rejlers Sweden operation continues, with initiatives for the digitalisation of our engineering services and in the area of energy, primarily in power supplies, energy efficiency and energy optimisation, as well as sustainable electricity production. The market has generally developed well during the quarter.
Net sales totalled SEK 305.1 million (329.9) in the second quarter, a decrease of 7.5 per cent compared with the same period the previous year. Organic growth amounted to -8 per cent. The lower sales are mainly explained by the restructuring that was done in industrial activities the previous year, when less profitable areas were wound up.
Adjusted EBITA fell to SEK 12.0 million (22.6), corresponding to an adjusted EBITA margin of 3.9 per cent (6.9), the reduction is mainly explained by the quarter's negative calendar effects.
Operating profit/loss for the quarter was SEK 6.4 million (17.8), equivalent to an operating margin of 2.1 per cent (5.4). Profits have been negatively affected by restructuring costs of SEK 4.3 million (3.6).

Rejlers Finland is experiencing better market conditions, with increased public and private building and a stronger industry. The remaining 49 per cent of CMN Service Oy was acquired during the period. Net sales totalled SEK 113.5 million (97.5) in the second quarter, an increase of 16.4 per cent compared with the same period the previous year. This growth is mainly attributable to the acquisition of CMN Service Oy and the generally more favourable market conditions. Organic growth excluding exchange rate fluctuations was 1 per cent.
Adjusted EBITA increased to SEK 5.3 million (3.8) corresponding to an adjusted EBITA margin of 4.7 per cent (3.9).
Operating profit for the quarter was SEK 3.7 million (3.1), equivalent to an operating margin of 3.3 per cent (3.2). The improved profit is mainly attributable to a higher order volume as a result of generally greater demand for our services and the previous year's reorganisation of the industrial operations.
Changes in labour legislation, where the working hours were extended by 0.5 hour per employee per week, have had a positive impact on earnings.
The calendar effect in the second quarter was negative by three days compared with the corresponding period the previous year

Rejlers Norway is suffering from continued profitability problems as a result of low efficiency in several large projects. At the start of the quarter, Thomas Pettersen assumed responsibility for Rejlers' entire Norwegian operation. Through this change we expect both business and administrative synergies between the operations of Rejlers Norway and Rejlers Embriq. Rejlers Norway has also initiated a powerful programme of measures designed to reduce the cost base and improve profitability in the longer term.
Net sales totalled SEK 81.2 million (99.1) in the second quarter, a reduction of 18.1 per cent compared with the same period the previous year. The weakening is mainly explained by a generally low level of utilization and restructuring of operations. Organic growth excluding exchange rate fluctuations was -22.0 per cent.
Adjusted EBITA was SEK -7.4 million (2.9) corresponding to an adjusted EBITA margin of -9.1 per cent (-2.9).
Operating profit/loss for the quarter was still weak and amounted to SEK -15.9 million (2.1), equivalent to an operating margin of -19.6 per cent (2.1). Profit was negatively impacted by SEK 7.8 million in restructuring costs, negative calendar effects and efficiency problems in the ICT/Telecom and railway area.
The calendar effect in the second quarter was negative by four days compared with the corresponding period the previous year

Rejlers Embriq has a strong position in a growing market in the energy sector and offers a complete range of products, IT services and solutions in energy, infrastructure and energy measurement services in all of the Nordic countries.
Net sales totalled SEK 127.8 million (85.9) in the second quarter, an increase of 48.8 per cent compared with the same period the previous year. The main part of sales growth relates to installation and sales of smart electricity meters in the Nettalliansen project. Other growth relates to increased sales from operating agreements. Organic growth excluding exchange rate fluctuations was 44 per cent.
Adjusted EBITA fell to SEK 0.6 million (5.0) corresponding to an adjusted EBITA margin of 0.5 per cent (5.8).
Operating profit for the quarter was SEK 0.6 million (5.0), equivalent to an operating margin of 0.5 per cent (5.8). Operations are developing according to plan. High start-up costs related to the roll-out of smart electricity meters for Nettalliansen provide an initial margin pressure, which is expected to decrease in upcoming years.
Rejlers Embriq was affected by negative calendar effects in both Norway and Sweden.

The acquisition analysis for the acquired operation is preliminary because the assets have not been fully analysed. The goodwill value, which is not tax deductible in business acquisitions (but is tax deductible in net asset acquisitions), includes the technical skills of staff, acquired customer relationships that are not separable and synergies. Otherwise, the fair value of the assets and liabilities at the time of acquisition corresponds to the carrying amount in the acquired companies. There are no uncertain receivables among the acquired assets. Acquisitionrelated costs were expensed as other external expenses when they were incurred.
