OUTLOOK
The Group strives to be a globally known and preferred cooperation partner, with a good financial standing, in selected product and market segments. The Group pursues growth organically while considering opportunities for growth through acquisitions. Moreover, the aim is to grow the business by developing and harmonizing the sales and delivery process and expanding into new markets.
Plc Uutechnic Group Plc repeats the previously announced outlook, where it estimates the result for the fiscal year 2019 to be lower than last year.
BUSINESS REPORTING
Uutechnic Group has streamlined its structure with divestments during past one and half years and is now completely focused on mixing technology. Changes in the company structure have significantly improved group’s balance sheet and reduced risks and investments, which are not related to mixing technology. Same time group has invested in mixing business, business processes, business systems and skills. Solid ground for future growth of mixing technology business is almost complete.
First half of the year was challenging for the Group’s continuing operations. Order book and workload were unevenly balanced to factories. Also, the fixed costs were relatively higher for the smaller group organization. Even though the costs of system development were on track, they increased the fixed costs. Therefore, the beginning of the year result was low, decreasing the half year result.
During the spring workload was balanced and orderbook increased. April order intake was record high on continuing operations. During April and June sales and result developed better than in the beginning of the year. At the end of the June the orderbook of the continuing operations was better than in comparison period. Divestment of AP-Tela increases the need for growth, but also opportunities.
International economics is affected by several, quickly changing, political agendas. This forms threats and opportunities for Uutechnic group customer’s investments.

REMARKABLE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTY FACTORS AND THEIR MANAGEMENT
The demand for Uutechnic Group’s products is dependent on trends and developments in the global economy and the Group’s customer industries, which poses a general external risk to its operations. The Group seeks to mitigate the risks arising from changes in demand by targeting its sales operations in line with current trends in various market areas and customer industries.
According to the Board of Directors of the Group’s parent company, other significant risks and uncertainty factors to which the Group is exposed are related to at least the following aspects:
- The Group will continue to implement consolidation processes and pursue identified synergies to improve profitability. It is possible that not all of the identified synergies will be achieved, or that processes will fail.
- The Group aims to grow organically as well as through acquisitions. There is no certainty that the Group will be able to find suitable candidates for acquisition, obtain the financing required for acquisitions or acquire businesses on satisfactory terms.
- The acquisition prices paid in the context of business combinations and the goodwill generated by them also involve risks. The Group’s calculations to test goodwill are based on financial forecasts and assumptions prepared by the management.
- Part of the Group’s business operations consist of major or large project deliveries. Extensive and complicated projects involve the risk that the future costs and any other risks related to the delivery cannot be estimated sufficiently accurately in the bidding phase. In such cases, the result of the project may prove weaker than expected. In contracts for extensive projects, the claims for compensation for delayed delivery or deficient performance may be significant.
- Unfavourable changes in the financial markets may have an effect on the Group’s results and the availability of equity and debt financing on competitive terms. Uncertainty in the international economy may lead to payment delays and an increased risk of credit losses.
- In conjunction with the divestment of the majority of shares in Japrotek Oy Ab, Uutechnic Group’s intra-group receivables and guarantor liabilities became external receivables and liabilities. It is possible that the receivables or guarantor liabilities will result in credit losses or payment obligations over time.
The Group seeks to protect itself against remarkable risks using all measures that can reasonably be implemented. These include, among other things, measures aimed at improving profitability and productivity, training for employees, guidelines and instructions, insurance policies, critical examination of the terms and conditions of commercial agreements and the systematic monitoring and development of operations.

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
This half year financial report was prepared in accordance with the IAS 34 standard. It does not include all of the notes or other information to be presented with financial statements. For this reason, the interim report should be read together with the financial statements for 2018. The half year financial report was prepared in line with the accounting principles presented in the financial statements for 2018. In addition, IFRS 16 standard Leases is adopted from January 1, 2019.
The information included in this half year financial report has not been audited. The figures are presented in thousands of euros (EUR 1,000), unless otherwise mentioned. Reports include the figures from continuing operations excluded the flow of funds statement which includes the figures from the whole group.
AP-Tela Oy has been consolidated into the Group until June 3, 2019 and will be reported in the discontinued operations. The reference periods have been adjusted accordingly. Discontinued operations in reference periods include also Japrotek Oy Ab, sold on August 28, 2018.
IFRS 16 Leases
Uutechnic Group has adopted the standard as of 1 January 2019 using the simplified retrospective approach, and the comparison figures for the year preceding adoption are not adjusted. Following the adoption of the amended standard, the leases of leased business and production premises will be recognised on the balance sheet. Leases that include a right to use the underlying asset are recognised as assets on the lessee’s balance sheet. An asset representing the right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments are recognised on the balance sheet. The lease expense associated with leases is replaced by depreciation of the right-of-use-assets and interest expense for the lease liability.
Leases are recognised on the balance sheet upon the commencement of the lease as an asset corresponding with the current value of the minimum rents and depreciated over the period of the lease. The amount of interest-bearing liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet increases by the discounted amount of the lease liability. In addition, a change in deferred taxes is recognised under income taxes. In accordance with IFRS 16 Leases,the amount of the asset and liability based on right-of-use is calculated by discounting the future contractual minimum rents.
Leases less than 12 months, and leases of low value, are treated as off-balance sheet leases and recognized as an expense in the income statement in accordance with the lease period.
Uutechnic Oy’s office premises in Uusikaupunki are leased from UuCap Oy, where Jouko Peräaho and Timo Lindström, a related party, exercise control.
The Group’s interest-bearing liabilities increased by EUR 1,443.6 thousand due to the adoption of IFRS 16. Depreciation increased by EUR 75.4 thousand and rental expenses decreased by EUR 108.1 thousand. Interest expenses increased by EUR 17.8 thousand. The adoption of the standard had an impact of EUR -15.5 thousand on the result for the period. Comparative year figures have not been restated.
