  • Sales in the quarter were SEK 176.6 (176.3) million. In local currencies sales decreased by 2 per cent.
  • The operating profit for the quarter amounted to SEK –19.4 (–1.2) million. Items affecting comparability reduced earnings by SEK –1.9 (–5.0) million. The deterioration is mainly due to weak capacity utilization in the German consulting operations and to no new sales of the THOR technology being made.
  • Free cash flow for the quarter was SEK –38.9 (–29.2) million.

*Refers to total operations

Unless otherwise stated, the information for 2016 in text and figures refers to operations excluding Waste Treatment, which was sold in 2016.

Sales

Sales in the quarter were unchanged at SEK 176.6 (176.3) million. Sales for the half year increased to SEK 356.2 (347.9) million. In local currencies the decrease was 2 per cent for the quarter, while for the half year there was a 1 per cent increase. Sales in the Consultancy Services business area decreased, while sales in Fuel and Materials Technology and Studsvik Scandpower were on a level with the previous year.

Profit

Operating profit for the quarter decreased to SEK –19.4 (–1.2) million and during the half year to SEK –21.4 (9.5) million. Items affecting comparability referring to staff cutbacks in the consulting operations and in administration reduced earnings in the second quarter by SEK –1.9 (–5.0) million and in the half year by SEK –6.1 (–5.0) million. Adjusted for items affecting comparability, the operating margin for the second quarter deteriorated to –9.9 (2.1) per cent and for the half year to –4.3 (4.2) per cent. The deterioration is mainly due to weak capacity utilization in the German consulting operations and to the fact that no new sales of the THOR technology were made in the first half year. Net financial income for the quarter was SEK –7.8 (–1.7) million and SEK –15.2 (–10.4) million for the half year. Profit after tax was SEK –24.0 (1.7) million for the quarter and SEK –32.5 (7.6) million for the half year.

Fuel and Materials Technology

Sales decreased somewhat in the second quarter to SEK 52.2 (54.1) million. During the year sales increased to SEK 104.7 (97.6) million. In local currencies the decrease was 4 per cent for the quarter, while for the half year there was a 7 per cent increase.

The operating profit for the second quarter amounted to SEK 4.9 (10.9) million and SEK 10.7 (18.9) million for the half year. The operating margin for the quarter was 9.4 (20.1) per cent and for the half year 10.2 (19.4) per cent. The operating margin for the quarter is negatively impacted by higher selling expenses, deferment of a major contract and operational disruptions when aligning new equipment. The order book for the second half year is good and production is again running normally.

Consultancy Services

Sales in the second quarter decreased to SEK 98.8 (105.6) million and in the half year to SEK 202.2 (215.2) million. In local currencies the decrease was 9 per cent for the quarter and 8 per cent for the half year.

The operating profit for the second quarter amounted to SEK –11.6 (–0.5) million and SEK –10.0 (11.7) million for the half year. Items affecting comparability referring to staff cutbacks in Germany reduced the second quarter profit by SEK 1.1 (3.7) million and the half year profit by SEK 2.5 (3.7) million. Adjusted for these, the operating margin for the second quarter was –10.6 (3.0) per cent and –3.7 (7.2) per cent for the half year. Low capacity utilization in Industrial Services (Germany) and weak profitability in Waste Management (Sweden) led to a deterioration in earnings for the second quarter. The first quarter of 2016 includes royalties of SEK 18.6 million related to THOR. Adjusted for this, earnings for the first half year in the underlying operations decreased by SEK 3 million, mainly driven by a weak second quarter for operations in Germany.

Measures to improve profitability in Waste Management are being taken, while alternative strategies for operations in Germany are being evaluated. There continues to be great interest in Studsvik's waste treatment technologies and associated engineering services. A number of interesting projects are currently being discussed.

Studsvik Scandpower

Sales in the second quarter were unchanged at SEK 17.1 (17.1) million and in the half year SEK 36.8 (35.1) million. In local currencies there was a decrease of 3 per cent for the quarter. For the half year sales in local currencies increased by 1 per cent.

The operating profit for the quarter improved to SEK –3.5 (–5.2) million and SEK –7.1 (–7.9) million for the half year.

The process of obtaining export licenses from the American authorities for software ordered for China is continuing, but it is still not clear when the American authorities may grant them.

Demand for software is good but the sales process generally takes longer than before.

Investments

Investments for the continuing operations in the second quarter were SEK 7.3 (2.8) million and in the first half year SEK 12.4 (7.0) million. The investments mainly refer to equipment for testing and infrastructure for the Studsvik facility.

Cash flow

Cash flow from operating activities in the second quarter was SEK –36.4 (–31.2) million and SEK –38.0 (–29.5) million for the half year. The free cash flow amounted to SEK –38.9 (–29.2) million for the second quarter and for the half year to SEK –43.1 (–31.3) million.

Financial position and liquidity

Cash and cash equivalents for the total operations at the close of the quarter were SEK 140.8 (123.2) million. Net interestbearing debt was SEK 58.3 (174.3) million, which means that the net debt/equity ratio was 18.9 (65.0) per cent. At the close of 2016 the net debt/equity ratio was 0.8 per cent.

Personnel

The average number of employees as at 30 June was 654 (707). The decrease refers to fewer employees in the consulting operations in Germany and England. At the start of the year the number of employees was 687.

Transactions with related parties

During the quarter a dividend of SEK 4.8 (4.0) 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 quarter amounted to SEK 4.9 (4.2) million and to SEK 10.1 (8.9) million in the half year. The operating profit for the quarter amounted to SEK –5.6 (–4.7) million and SEK –10.1 (–11.0) million for the half year. Loss after financial items in the quarter was SEK –11.2 (–3.2) million and for the half year SEK –19.6 (–15.2) million.

Cash and cash equivalents including current investments amounted to SEK 32.1 (24.7) million and interest-bearing liabilities to SEK 200 (300) million. The final settlement with EDF for the sale of the Waste Treatment business area is expected to be completed by the end of the year.

Risks and uncertainties

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

The half-yearly report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act.

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 Studsvik AB as at June 30 2017 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.

Focus 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 International Standards on Auditing (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 interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act for the Group and, for the Parent Company, with the Annual Accounts Act.
