Sales

Sales increased in the second quarter to SEK 234.8 (217.0) million. Sales for the half year were SEK 435.9 (436.6) million. In local currencies the increase was 2 per cent for the quarter while for the half year there was a decrease of 6 per cent. The Consultancy Services and Fuel and Materials Technology business areas report strong sales growth in the first half year, but is offset by the negative trend in the Waste Treatment business area.

Profit

The operating profit increased in the second quarter to SEK 11.4 (0.1) million and in the half year to SEK 6.4 (5.4) million. Items affecting comparability impacted second quarter earnings by SEK 0 (-1.2) million and the half-yearly earnings by SEK 0 (0.2) million. Adjusted for these the operating margin for the second quarter was 4.9 (0.1) per cent and 1.5 (1.2) per cent for the half year.

Net financial income in the second quarter was SEK -4.4 (–4.1) million and SEK -6.3 (–10.7) million for the half year. The Group's tax for the second quarter was SEK -1.3 (–1.5) million and for the half year SEK -0.1 (1.4) million. For the second quarter, earnings after tax improved to SEK 5.7 (–5.5) million and for the half year were SEK 0.0 (–3.9) million.

Consultancy Services

Sales in the second quarter increased by 9.7 per cent to SEK 106.2 (96.8) million and in the half year by 4.6 per cent to SEK 201.1 (192.3) million. In local currencies the increase was 4 per cent for the quarter while for the half year there was a decrease of 2 per cent.

The operating profit for the second quarter amounted to SEK 4.2 (3.0) million and SEK 6.8 (12.1) million for the half year. The deterioration for the half year is attributable to weak demand for consulting services in ventilation in the UK. Items affecting comparability impacted earnings for the half year by SEK 0 (3.6) million. Adjusted for these, the operating margin for the half year was 3.3 (4.4) per cent.

Fuel and materials technology

Sales increased in the second quarter by 25.6 per cent to SEK 64.2 (51.1) million and in the half year by 16.3 per cent to SEK 119.6 (102.8) million. In local currencies the increase was 15 per cent for the quarter and 9 per cent for the half year. Sales and profitability in materials technology, software and related services continue to be good and we are seeing great interest from China.

The operating profit for the second quarter amounted to SEK 6.0 (1.4) million and SEK 9.3 (0.6) million for the half year. The operating margin for the half year was 7.8 (0.6) per cent.

Waste Treatment

Sales decreased in the second quarter by 4.8 per cent to 57.6 (60.5) million and in the half year by 19.6 per cent to SEK102.3 (127.3) million. In local currencies the decrease was 10 per cent for the quarter and 23 per cent for the half year. Sales and earnings were exceptionally high in 2014 as a consequence of the major Berkeley project that ran for most of 2014. The first half year of 2015 is also negatively affected by continued weak demand for treatment of material in the Swedish facility. Productivity in the UK operations improved.

The order book for processing metal and materials for incineration continues to be thin.

The operating profit for the second quarter increased to SEK 10.6 (2.0) million and for the half year decreased to SEK 7.4 (11.2) million. The operating margin for the half year was 7.2 (8.8) per cent.

Investments

Investments in the second quarter were SEK 7.6 (5.5) million and in the first half year SEK 15.6 (9.9) million.

Cash flow

Cash flow from operating activities after working capital changes in the second quarter was SEK –35.4 (–21.1) million and SEK –34.6 (–35.1) million for the half year. The negative cash flow is explained by relatively major work being carried out during the first half year which had been paid in advance in previous years. Furthermore, payments have been made for staff redundancies for which the costs were recorded last year. Cash flow after investments in the second quarter amounted to SEK –45.9 (–26.6) million and for the half year to SEK –51.5 (–45.0) million.

Financial position and liquidity

Cash and cash equivalents, including current investments, amounted to SEK 81.0 (101.7) million. Interest-bearing liabilities at the end of the quarter were SEK 229.5 (207.4) million. Net interest-bearing debt was SEK 148.5 (105.8) million, which means that the net debt/equity ratio was 49.2 (38.3) per cent. The bond loan matures in March 2016 and has therefore been classified as current in the balance sheet. At the close of 2014 the net debt/equity ratio was 36.1 per cent.

Personnel

The average number of employees in the half year was 821 (910). The decrease refers to the Waste Treatment and Consultancy Services business areas as well as the functions at the head office and Shared Service.

Transactions with related parties

During the quarter a dividend of SEK 7.0 (5.1) million was received from UK Nuclear Waste Management Ltd.

Parent company

Operations in the parent company consist of coordination of the Group. Parent company sales in the second quarter amounted to SEK 2.6 (2.9) million and in the first half year to SEK 5.6 (6.4) million. The operating profit for the second quarter amounted to SEK -8.0 (-9.9) million and SEK -16.9 (-21.9) million for the half year. Items affecting comparability impacted second quarter earnings by SEK 0 (-1.4) million and the half-yearly earnings by SEK 0 (-3.0) million. Loss after financial items in the second quarter was SEK –8.3 million (-11.1) and for the half year SEK -17.5 (-26.4) million.

Cash and cash equivalents, including current investments, amounted to SEK 24.1 (31.7) million and interest-bearing debt to SEK 200.0 (200.0) million.

Risks and uncertainties

An overall analysis of the Group's risks and how they are dealt with is given in the Annual Report for 2014, which is available on the company's website. Apart from these risks, no further significant risks are estimated to have arisen.

Accounting policies

The consolidated accounts for the Studsvik Group have been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act, the Swedish Financial Reporting Board recommendation RFR 1, Supplementary accounting rules for groups, IAS 34, International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and interpretations by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) as adopted by the EU. There is a description of these accounting policies in the Annual Report. The consolidated accounts have been prepared in accordance with the historical cost method except as regards financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value through profit or loss.

The interim report for the parent company was prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board recommendation RFR 2, Accounting for legal entities.

The interim report provides a fair review of the Group's and the Parent Company's operations, financial position and performance and describes significant risks and uncertainties faced by the Parent Company and the companies that are part of the Group.

Report of the auditors concerning review of condensed interim financial information (interim report) prepared in accordance with IAS 34 and Chapter 9 of the Annual Accounts Act

Introduction

We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) for the Studsvik AB Group as at June 30 2015 and the six-month period then ended. The Board of Directors and the President are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim financial report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

Emphasis and scope of the review

We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410 "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review has a different focus and is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with ISA and other generally accepted auditing standards. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain a level of assurance that would make us aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Therefore, the conclusion that is expressed on the basis of a review does not give the same level of assurance as a conclusion based on an audit.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim report does not, in all material respects, accord with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act and, for the parent company, with the Annual Accounts Act.
