CEO JOUKO PERÄAHO
The first half of the year has gone reasonably well. At least so far, the corona pandemic has not significantly hampered our operations. Production has remained clean of the Covid-19 and remote working has gone well. However, travel restrictions have hampered the planned acquisition of new customers. Preparation against pandemic continues.
Order intake and order backlog have strengthened since the turn of the year and the end of March. The workload has been better distributed towards summer. The implementation of the new integrated information system project has begun and will continue throughout the rest of the year. It can already be said that the impact of the information system investment on our operations will be very large. The brand reform has been implemented and new websites have been introduced. The updating of the home pages continues with new language versions as well as e.g. with flow picture animations of mixers.
The Annual General Meeting was postponed from the original time and place and was held in Uusikaupunki June 30. the Annual General Meeting approved the first dividend proposal after the 2015 corporate reorganizations.

REMARKABLE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTY FACTORS AND THEIR MANAGEMENT
The demand for UTG’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 in 2015 and the goodwill generated by them 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.
- From the point of view of international business, foreign, trade and foreign exchange policies, related international agreements and protectionist measures, customs duties, taxes or parafiscal charges in different countries may change the competitive situation in some markets. Recently, political risks have increased, and it is possible that competition in some existing or new markets will become more difficult.
- Epidemics, pandemics, extreme weather events or other disasters have become more common. It is possible that, quickly, for the reasons mentioned above, directly or indirectly, operations in some countries or continents will become more difficult.
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, contingency plans, 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 2019. The half year financial report was prepared in line with the accounting principles presented in the financial statements for 2019. The information in the half-year report is unaudited.
In 2020, all of the Group’s operations are part of continuing operations, and the figures reported for 2020 are only figures for continuing operations. In the comparison figures of the income statement, the result of AP-Tela Oy, which was sold on June 3, 2019, is shown on one line in discontinued operations.
In connection with the preparation of the financial statements on 31 December 2019, an error was found in the figures reported in the half-year report on 30 June 2019 in the allocation of deferred taxes to discontinued operations. Too little deferred tax liability of EUR 294 thousand had been allocated to discontinued operations. The result of discontinued operations after the correction on 30 June 2019 improved by EUR 294 thousand to EUR -30 thousand. The positive effect of the adjustment on the Group’s equity and result for the financial year on 30 June 2019 was EUR 294 thousand, respectively. The correction also affected the key figures. The Group’s revised half-year report was published in its entirety as an appendix to the financial statements bulletin on February 25, 2020.
