Sales

Sales in the quarter in local currencies were 8 per cent higher than the previous year and amounted to SEK 213.5 (202.6) million. For the full year, sales increased in local currencies by 11 per cent to SEK 721.9 (654.0) million. The higher sales for the quarter are mainly attributable to Decommissioning and Radiation Protection Services and Waste Management Technology, while the sales increase compared to the previous year is mainly related to Decommissioning and Radiation Protection Services (German operations) and Fuel and Materials Technology.

Profit

Operating profit for the quarter amounted to SEK 9.8 (20.4) million and SEK 46.0 (–10.4) million for the full year. The full year profit was reduced by effects of the corona pandemic of SEK 8 million and last year by restructuring costs of SEK 14.8 million. Excluding these items, operating profit improved between the years by SEK 50 million. The improvement refers to all business areas. The operating margin, excluding effects in Germany due to the corona pandemic and the previous year's restructuring costs in Waste Management Technology, improved for the full year to 7.5 (0.7) per cent.

Net financial income in the quarter was SEK –2.1 (–6.4) million and SEK –4.7 (–12.4) million for the full year. Profit/loss after tax decreased to SEK 8.8 (11.7) million for the quarter and increased to SEK 35.2 (–28.0) million for the full year.

Cash flow and financing

The free cash flow amounted to SEK 39.7 (7.2) million for the quarter and SEK 64.9 (–38.8) million for the full year. The Group's cash and cash equivalents at the year-end amounted to SEK 75.2 million and the unutilized portion of the overdraft facility was SEK 46.5 million.

Fuel- and Materials Technology

Sales in the fourth quarter increased and amounted to SEK 71.3 (65.2) million. For the full year sales increased to SEK 224.3 (200.1) million. In local currencies this was an increase of 10 and 12 per cent respectively. During the quarter, a contract was signed with the Russian customer TVEL for about SEK 100 million for delivery in 2021 and 2022. In January 2021, a contract was signed with the Institute for Energy Technology (IFE) worth SEK 134 million.

Operating profit for the quarter amounted to SEK 15.6 (7.0) million and SEK 34.0 (25.3) million for the full year. The year's earnings improvement is mainly due to high and even capacity utilization and increased business with China and Russia. The operating margin for the quarter increased to 21.9 (10.7) per cent and for the full year to 15.2 (12.6) per cent.

Waste Management Technology

Sales increased to SEK 27.8 (14.7) million for the quarter and to SEK 65,3 (56,8) million for the full year. In local currencies this was an increase of 98 and 17 per cent respectively. Operating profit for the quarter amounted to SEK –4.5 (–3.8) million and SEK –1.5 (–33.6) million for the full year.

Items affecting comparability of SEK 0.0 (0.0) million are included in earnings for the quarter and of SEK 0.0 (–14.0) million in earnings for the year. The operating margin for the quarter improved to –16.2 (–25.9) per cent. Adjusted for the previous year's items affecting comparability, the operating margin for the full year improved to –2.3 (–34.5) per cent.

Scandpower

Sales decreased during the quarter to SEK 33.9 (61.2) million and to SEK 125.6 (130.1) million for the full year. In local currencies this meant that sales decreased by 41 per cent and for the full year by 2 per cent. Sales growth has been more stable than in the previous year, as several major contracts came in the last quarter. Demand for Scandpower's products and engineering services continues to be good and there is still great interest from China .

The operating profit for the quarter deteriorated to SEK 4.4 (17.2) million but increased for the year to SEK 17.2 (13.0) million. The operating margin decreased in the quarter to 13.0 (28.1) per cent but increased for the full year to 13.7 (10.0) per cent.

Decommissioning and Radiation Protection Services

Sales during the quarter were SEK 76.4 (61.7) million and increased during the year to SEK 293.2 (263.0) million. In local currencies this means an increase of 28 per cent for the quarter and 13 per cent for the year. Demand has been good.

Operating profit for the quarter amounted to SEK 7.3 (4.6) million and SEK 17.4 (–1.0) million for the full year. The improved performance during the year is mainly due to renegotiated customer contracts, a more favorable sales mix and improved capacity utilization. The corona pandemic has not entailed any negative consequences in the quarter, but for the full year the negative effect is SEK 8 million. The operating margin in the quarter increased slightly to 9.6 (7.5) per cent. Excluding the effects of the corona pandemic, the margin for the full year improved to 8.7 (–0.4) per cent.

Investments

Investments decreased to SEK 7.5 (9.4) million in the quarter and were SEK 23.0 (32.7) million for the year. The year's investments are mainly related to current investments and the production line for medical isotopes.

Financial position and liquidity

Net interest-bearing debt has decreased to SEK 24.8 million (82.9). The net debt/equity ratio at the close of the year was 7.9 (27.4) per cent. The equity-assets ratio was 41.2 per cent (37.5).

Personnel

The average number of employees decreased to 516 (552). The decrease is primarily attributable to the German and British operations.

Parent company

Operations in the parent company consist of coordination of the Group. Parent company sales in the quarter were SEK 0.6 (3.6) million and SEK 11.1 (13.9) million for the year. Operating profit for the quarter was SEK –14.0 (–5.7) million and SEK –21.2 (–15.2) million for the year.
