Net sales
Net sales for the fi rst quarter amounted to SEK 277.0 million (320.0). The fall in sales is mainly attributable to the facility in Erwin, USA. The Erwin operations were by and large out of action from mid-2008 and were only resumed towards the end of the fi rst quarter. In the UK too, sales were lower than the previous year due to low capacity utilization in Decommissioning. Sales increased in the other three segments by 15 per cent in local currency.
Profi t
The operating loss for the fi rst quarter amounted to SEK –21.2 million (–7.0). The loss is entirely attributable to the USA and is mainly an effect of the Erwin facility being out of operation for most of the quarter. Compared with the previous year the earnings of the Erwin facility fell by about SEK 29 million. Profi t for the quarter was charged with a non-recurring item in the form of a write-off of a disputed receivable in the American logistics operations amounting to SEK 10.2 million. In the corresponding period last year restructuring costs in the American operations amounting to SEK 12.7 million were taken. Foreign exchange effects had a negative impact of SEK –8.3 million (1.4) on the operating profi t for the fi rst quarter.
Sweden
Net sales increased in the fi rst quarter by 34 per cent to SEK 41.2 million (30.7). The operating profi t improved to SEK 6.7 million (0.9).
Operations showed a positive trend. The incineration facility ran at full capacity and the order book is strong. Capacity utilization was good at the facility for treatment and melting of metallic material as well as the production line for treatment of large components. The amount of metallic material processed in terms of weight was about 35 per cent higher than in the previous year and market activity continued to be good. In April three steam generators were delivered from Ringhals nuclear power plant for processing.
United Kingdom
Net sales for the fi rst quarter fell to SEK 26.7 million (40.5). The operating profi t was SEK 0.1 million (2.9).
The trend was positive in Waste Treatment, with a clear improvement in earnings over the previous year. The facility for treatment of metallic material in Workington will be completed in the second quarter. Processing of radioactive material is expected to start early in the third quarter after regulatory approval of the facility.
Performance for Decommissioning was negative due to low capacity utilization after premature termination of a large project at Sellafi eld in late 2008. Several procurements are under way and the order book has recovered somewhat, but at the close of the quarter was still at a low level.
Germany
Net sales rose in the fi rst quarter to SEK 96.8 million (77.4), which corresponds to an increase of 7 per cent in local currency. The operating profi t was SEK 4.9 million (4.7). The lower margin compared with the previous year is due to a higher proportion of services in the fi rst quarter of 2009.
Capacity utilization was good in the consulting operations and in service and maintenance. The annual refueling and maintenance outages at power-generating reactors started in February and are expected to continue to a varying extent until October.
The extent of the maintenance outages is expected to be at the same level as in 2008. Demand for consulting services remains high.
Several projects of varying size are under way in Decommissioning. During the quarter Studsvik signed a four-year contract worth EUR 7.2 million with Belgonucleaire to act as specialist and adviser on decommissioning of their fuel factory in Dessel, Belgium. The newly started consulting operations in France had around 20 employees at the end of the fi rst quarter and reported a slightly positive result.
USA
Net sales for the fi rst quarter fell to SEK 37.8 million (103.4). The operating loss was SEK –33.7 million (–13.4).
The falling sales and loss are mainly attributable to the Erwin facility. The facility resumed operations at the end of the quarter after being out of action in effect since the mid-2008. To date Studsvik has signed contracts with four power companies under the new model devised for the facility. Negotiations are under way with several potential customers.
The new business model means that Studsvik will treat medium level waste at the Erwin facility as before, and thereafter take responsibility for storage and fi nal disposal of the waste through cooperation with Waste Control Specialists (WCS).
The Memphis-based waste operations reported a minor loss in the fi rst quarter, which is a considerable improvement on the previous year. The market was unchanged and some customers were keeping down costs and expenditure in the short term, which resulted in a low order book level. The effi ciency improvements effected in Memphis in 2008 have resulted in more robust operations that are profi table at considerably lower volumes than before.
Performance in the logistics business improved compared with the previous year, but despite this the operations reported a minor loss. The write-off of a disputed receivable of USD 1.2 million (SEK 10.2 million) is charged to the profi t for the quarter. An agreement was reached that R&R Trucking will take over the operations and guarantee Studsvik access to qualifi ed transport services. The transfer is planned for May 1.
Global Services
Net sales rose in the fi rst quarter to SEK 64.0 million (47.2), which corresponds to an increase of 9 per cent in local currencies. The operating profi t increased to SEK 9.3 million (4.3).
The materials technology operations continued to develop well, with higher sales and operating profi t than the previous year. The order books provide the basis for continued high capacity utilization in 2009 and the volume of tenders is high. The pure consulting operations performed well and there were several new recruitments. Demand for consultants with advanced nuclear engineering skills is high.
Software for fuel optimization substantially improved its perform ance compared with the previous year thanks to a Japanese order for the Gardel core monitoring system.
Divestment of SVAFO
The subsidiary SVAFO was transferred on April 1 to the Swedish nuclear power producers. SVAFO is a non-commercial company whose task is to take care of historic radioactive waste, mainly from government research activities. The transfer is at book value. The company's sales in 2008 amounted to SEK 72.6 million. When the necessary licenses have been obtained the shutdown R2 reactor will also be transferred from Studsvik to SVAFO.
Investments
The Group's investment in the fi rst quarter amounted to SEK 25.6 million (20.7). The new processing plant in the United Kingdom accounts for SEK 22.6 million of this.
Cash fl ow
Cash fl ow from operating activities before working capital changes in the fi rst quarter was SEK 0.4 million (4.0). Working capital increased by SEK 6.8 million (22.2)
Cash fl ow from operating activities after investments was SEK –32.0 million (–38.9).
Financial position and liquidity
Cash and cash equivalents, including current investments, amounted to SEK 108.7 million (130.8) at the close of the quarter.
Equity amounted to SEK 615.3 million (535.6) and the equityassets ratio was 39.7 per cent (42.3).
Interest-bearing liabilities amounted to SEK 401.0 million (295.8). The Group's total borrowing was conducted entirely in foreign currencies through investments and business acquisitions in the USA, Germany and the UK. An exchange rate effect arises on translation of Swedish kronor, which in the fi rst quarter increased liabilities by SEK 86.1 million.
Personnel
The average number of employees was 1,112 (1,158).
Parent company
Parent company operations comprise the co-ordination of tasks for the Group and assets mainly consist of shares in subsidiaries. Net sales for the parent company in the fi rst quarter amounted to SEK 2.7 million (2.6). The operating loss was SEK –8.4 (–6.4). Profi t after fi nancial items was SEK 12.8 million (–6.2). The fi gure includes dividend from the German subsidiary of SEK 22.0 million (0).
The parent company's investments amounted to SEK 0 million (0.1). Cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 96.2 million (71.6) and interest-bearing liabilities to SEK 235.6 million (142.0).
Risks and uncertainties
Studsvik operates in an international, competitive market and is thereby exposed to both business and fi nancial risks and uncertainties.
The business uncertainties include the fact that Studsvik and Studsvik's customers handle radioactive material and waste, which requires legal or regulatory licensing. Licensing is required for production facilities but also for individual activities, such as transport and transfer of material. This means that the operations of Studsvik and Studsvik's customers are exposed to delays in these licensing processes, which may result in shifts in delivery and production plans.
Issues concerning nuclear technology may be subject to various expressions of opinion and debate. In such a context it cannot be ruled out that opinion may emerge on matters that directly or indirectly restrict Studsvik's scope of business action. Studsvik works consistently to maintain a high level of public confi dence. Its approach to the world around is characterized by dialogue and the principle of the greatest possible transparency.
Financial risks and uncertainties mainly include fl uctuations in exchange rates and interest rates, and the company's ability to uphold key ratios (covenants) that regulate borrowing. The fi nancial risks also include counterparty risk, i.e. that the Group can be exposed to losses due to counterparty insolvency.
The responsibility for assessing risk lies with the respective subsidiary, but is examined and followed up at Group level. An overall analysis of the Group's risks and how they are dealt with is given in the Annual Report for 2008, which is also available on the company's website.
Apart from these risks, no further signifi cant risks are estimated to have arisen.
Outlook
Modernization and increasing output of nuclear power plants is taking place in several of the countries where Studsvik operates. Decommissioning of nuclear facilities is expected to continue at least at the present rate in 2009. Demand for the services of the type Studsvik offers, including waste treatment, materials testing and consulting services is strong.
Studsvik's operations are only marginally affected by fl uctuations in the economic cycle. With the exception of parts of the US operations, the fi nancial unrest has not affected Studsvik's operations.
Accounting policies
This interim report was prepared in accordance with IAS 34, IAS 1 and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board recommendation RFR 2.1.
