Tulikivi's operating result continued to improve in the second quarter. This is the fifth consecutive quarter of year-on-year improvement. We also succeeded in improving profitability despite the warm weather in spring in our principal markets, which reduced customers' interest in fireplaces.
In Central Europe, the new Karelia and Pielinen collections have substantially increased dealers' and consumers' interest towards Tulikivi products. This has enabled us to open new dealer locations and reactivate old ones. Thanks to these collections, the sales outlook has improved on the previous year.
The products in the collections are based on modern Scandinavian design and feature a new soapstone surface finish technique. The Pielinen products are compact and easy to install. They are particularly well suited for the Central European market, as well as markets where there is no expertise in installing heat-retaining fireplaces.
In Russia, net sales in euros was lower in the first half than in 2017 mainly due to the weakening of the rouble against the euro.
In Finland, fireplace sales increased in the second quarter. Thanks to updated collections, changes to distribution channels and closer cooperation with the home-building industry, business has developed favourably despite a challenging market. These measures are expected to increase domestic sales in the second half of the year.
In the second quarter the company's order flow was EUR 7.1 (7.6) million. Order intake for fireplaces and saunas increased in Finland. The reduction in order intake especially concerned heater cladding but fireplace exports and orders of interior stone products also declined slightly.
Tulikivi's order books at the end of the review period amounted to EUR 3.4 (4.0) million.
In addition to efficiency measures, the focus of demand on the new Karelia collection has improved profitability. Due to improved profitability, decreased fixed costs and lower depreciation, the company's operating result for the review period improved by EUR 0.4 million compared with the previous year.
The new fireplace collections have been very well received in Finland and abroad. In Finland, the significantly improved consumer confidence is expected to increase small house construction. We are continuing our efforts to enhance sales efficiency to increase renovation sales.
Due to seasonal fluctuation in fireplace sales, the first half of the year is weaker than the second, in terms of both net sales and operating profit.
The highly successful development work on the Karelia and Pielinen collections provides an opportunity to increase net sales and profitability in 2018 in both Finland and exports.
The recovery of low-rise housing construction and renovation projects, and the improvement in consumer confidence compared with 2016, have energised demand for construction in Finland. Low-rise housing construction has begun to increase in the EU, which will boost the performance
of the fireplace market in the near future. In Russia, demand for Tulikivi products is growing but dependent on the exchange rate of the rouble.

Net sales in Finland increased in the review period and were EUR 5.9 (6.4) million, or 44.1% (46.9%) of total net sales. In Finland, fireplace sales increased in the second quarter.

These measures are expected to increase domestic sales in the second half of the year.
Net sales in export markets were EUR 7.5 (7.3) million in the review period, or 55.9% (53.1%) of total net sales. The principal export countries were Germany, Russia, France, Sweden and Denmark.

Net cash flow from operating activities was EUR 0.5 (0.6) million in the second quarter and EUR 0.7 (0.7) million in the review period. Working capital decreased by EUR 0.4 (0.9) million during the review period. Working capital totalled EUR 1.7 (2.7) million at the end of the review period.
Loan repayments totalled EUR 0.3 (0.4) million in the review period. Interest-bearing debt was EUR 15.4 (16.0) million at the end of the review period and net financial expenses were EUR 0.4 (0.4) million in the review period. The equity ratio at the end of the review period was 28.8% (30.5%). The ratio of interest-bearing net debt to equity, or gearing, was 141.4% (135.7%). The current ratio was 0.5 (1.0). Equity per share was EUR 0.18 (0.19). At the end of the reporting period, the Group's cash and other liquid assets came to EUR 0.5 (0.6) million.
The financing agreement includes covenants concerning EBITDA, the equity ratio and the ratio of debt to EBITDA. All long-term financial liabilities have been classified as short-term financial liabilities in accordance with the IFRS standard in the 31 December 2017 financial statements because in the company management's opinion, the company would not have met its covenants concerning EBITDA and the ratio of net debt to EBITDA at 30 June 2018 according to the original financing agreement. The company gained release from its covenants and agreed with its financing providers on 29 June 2018 on new covenant limits and other terms for 2018. The company's management estimates that the company will fulfil the new 2018 covenants if the current sales growth forecast is realised. The company has already agreed with its financing providers that it will start negotiations on a new repayment programme and its terms no later than 1 September 2018. If agreement is not reached on the new repayment programme and its terms by 31 December 2018, the loans will fall due on 30 June 2019.
The Group's investments totalled EUR 0.7 (1.0) million during the review period. In February 2018, the company presented the new products of the Karelia fireplace collection at the Verona international trade fair for wood-burning stoves and fireplaces. The new Saramo models with wide, horizontal doors, and the Senso fireplace control unit attracted considerable interest. The control unit makes it easier to use the fireplace and reduces emissions. The new models meet the strictest European emission standards.
Research and development expenditure was EUR 0.5 (0.6) million, or 3.5% (4.3%) of net sales. EUR 0.2 (0.2) million of this was capitalised on the balance sheet.
On 20 April 2017, Tulikivi announced its decision to study opportunities to exploit the talc reserves in the Suomussalmi deposit. Tulikivi's soapstone reserves in Suomussalmi have talc reserves that are believed to be suitable for talc production. On 13 June 2017, Tulikivi announced that according to analyses conducted by the Geological Survey of Finland, the talc grades of the deposit correspond to previous talc projects carried out in Finland in terms of talc content, yield and brightness. Based on the new test results and the drilling tests that were carried out for the purpose of soapstone production, Tulikivi estimates that there are approximately 20 million tonnes of talc ore in Suomussalmi. On 24 August 2017, Tulikivi announced that during summer 2017, it had explored potential partners' interest in exploiting the Suomussalmi talc deposit on the basis of the Geological Survey of Finland's analysis and the earlier drilling tests.
In September 2017, based on the feedback received, Tulikivi's Board of Directors launched preparations for the sale of the talc deposit. As part of this process, the company ordered an official ore study of part of the Haaponen deposit in Suomussalmi from the Geological Survey of Finland that meets the international JORC code. The initial stage of the study will cover a roughly six-million-tonne portion of the talc deposit. The purpose of the study is to verify the concentration capacity of the deposit for the purposes of talc production. Other studies will also be conducted concerning talc quarrying and concentration. The project has been granted EUR 0.1 million in EU structural funding. The goal is to complete these studies by the end of August 2018. Evaluation of the success or financial impact of sales is premature.
The Group employed an average of 189 (205) people during the review period. Salaries and bonuses during the period totalled EUR 4.2 (4.4) million. The number of personnel will be adjusted
through lay-offs in accordance with the level of demand. Apart from temporary lay-offs, no members of the office staff are currently laid off. The Tulikivi Group has an incentive pay scheme for all employees. The company also has a stock option scheme for the management that was launched in 2013.
Tulikivi Corporation's Annual General Meeting, held on 19 April 2018, resolved not to distribute a dividend on the 2017 financial year. Jaakko Aspara, Markku Rönkkö, Paula Salastie, Reijo Svanborg, Jyrki Tähtinen and Heikki Vauhkonen were elected as members of the Board of Directors. The Board elected Jyrki Tähtinen as its Chairman. The auditor appointed was KPMG Oy Ab, Authorised Public Accountants, with Kirsi Jantunen, APA, as principal auditor.
In response to the company's equity falling below 50% of its share capital, the Annual General Meeting decided on restructuring measures. In accordance with the Board of Directors' proposal, the Annual General Meeting decided that the Board shall continue the measures it has already initiated and investigate other measures to restructure the company when the parent company's equity is below 50% of its share capital.
The Annual General Meeting authorised the Board of Directors to decide on issuing new shares and on the transfer of Tulikivi Corporation shares held by the company in accordance with the proposals of the Board. Tulikivi can issue new shares or transfer treasury shares as follows: a maximum of 15,656,622 Series A shares and a maximum of 2,304,750 Series K shares.
The authorisation includes the right to decide on a directed rights issue, deviating from the shareholders' right of pre-emption, provided that there is compelling financial reason for the company. The authorisation also includes the right to decide on a bonus issue to the company itself, where the number of shares issued to the company is no more than one tenth of the total number of the company's shares.
The authorisation also includes the right to issue special rights referred to in Chapter 10, section 1 of the Limited Liability Companies Act, which would give entitlement to Tulikivi shares against payment or by setting off the receivable. The authorisation includes the right to pay the company's share rewards. The Board is authorised to decide on other matters concerning share issues. The authorisation is valid until the 2019 Annual General Meeting.
The company did not purchase or assign any treasury shares during the reporting period. At the end of the period, the total number of Tulikivi shares held by the company was 124,200 Series A shares, corresponding to 0.2 per cent of the company's share capital and 0.1 per cent of all voting rights.
The Group's most significant risk is the decline in net sales in the principal market areas. A potential halt in the restarted growth in new construction and renovation projects would affect the demand for Tulikivi products in Finland. The slower-than-predicted recovery of the markets in Central Europe and the uncertain economic situation in Russia also have an impact on the demand for fireplaces.
Improving the Group's financing position and securing the continuation of financing require an improvement in profitability. If the company's business operations and result do not develop as planned, the repayment of its debts may create a greater burden on the company's cash flow than anticipated. A further risk is that the company will not succeed in negotiating a sufficient repayment programme and terms with the financing providers.
With regard to the company's foreign currency risk, the most significant currencies are the Russian rouble and the US dollar. About 90 per cent of the company's cash flow is in euros, which means the company's exposure to foreign currency risks is very low. A weakening of currencies may have an adverse effect on the sales margin.
The risks have been described in greater detail on page 82 of the 2017 annual report.
Net sales are expected to increase in 2018, and the operating profit is expected to be positive.

Notes to the financial statements
The information presented in the half year report has not been audited.
This half year report release has been prepared in accordance with the IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting standard. The company has applied the IFRS 9 (Financial Instruments) and IFRS 15 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers) standards as of 1 January 2018. The company has chosen cumulative effect as its IFRS 15 approach, which means that the accumulated effect is recognised on 1 January 2018, the initial date of applying the standard. The changes to standards do not have a material impact on the company's net sales or operating profit. Otherwise Tulikivi has applied the same IFRS accounting principles in this interim report release as in the previous consolidated financial statements. The key figures presented in the half year report have been calculated using the same formulas as the 2017 financial statements. As there are no non-recurring expenses in this or the preceding review period, no figures based on non-recurring expenses are presented. The formulas can be found on page 86 of the Annual Report 2017.

The fair value of derivatives is the gain or loss for closing the contract based on market rates at the half year report's balance sheet date. Derivatives contracts belong to level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Available-for-sale financial assets are investments in unlisted shares. They are valued at acquisition cost because their fair value cannot be reliably determined.
