Matti Hyytiäinen, President and CEO of Etteplan Oyj, comments on the interim
report:
”The improvement of market situation continued in the third quarter of the year
as the demand for design services improved in nearly all our customer
industries.
Our revenue improved considerably compared to last year's third quarter. The
improved market situation and our strengthened market position impacted the
growth of our revenue.
Demand for design services is cyclical and typically for our branch demand slows
down seasonally in the third quarter of the year. The decrease in capacity
utilization rate caused by the slow down of demand and the timing of the holiday
season to the third quarter affect our operating profit. Taking these into
account I am reasonably satisfied with the development of our operating profit.
During the third quarter of the year we attained significant new clientele both
in Finland and Sweden as well as improved our position as partner in demanding
product development projects for equipment manufacturers for medical technology
clientele.
Our units in China continued to grow steadily and I am satisfied with offshoring
operating model becoming established among our customers.”
Accounting principles
The interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 (Interim
Financial Reporting) and the preparation and accounting policies presented in
the 2009 annual financial statements, but not all requirements of the IAS 34
standard for interim financial reporting have been followed in the accounting.
REVIEW FOR JULY-SEPTEMBER 2010
Business review for July-September
The improvement of demand for design services that commenced in the early part
of the year continued in the third quarter of the year. In Sweden during the
third quarter, demand for design services that had stabilized during the second
quarter of the year, turned to growth comparable to the beginning of the year.
In Finland, growth in demand was steady.
The variation in demand between customer industries stabilized in the third
quarter of the year. Design services' demand in energy and power transmission
industry, medical technology and automotive industry remained on a good level
that has continued through the year. Demand for design services among equipment
manufacturers for forest and mining industry continued to increase in the third
quarter. In aerospace and defence equipment industry where the demand had been
on low level during the first half of the year, demand for design services
recovered during the review period.
In Finland, personnel reductions, implemented as temporary lay offs, continued
to decrease and were under 50 employees at the end of the period. In Sweden,
recruitment that commenced during the second quarter continued. The slow
availability of new manpower restricted the organic growth in Sweden during the
review period.
Etteplan Oyj and the Swedish company Intertek Semko AB as well as Intertek
Commercial and Electrical Division China signed cooperation agreements during
the review period that apply to businesses in Finland, Sweden and China. The aim
of the cooperation is to provide a service portfolio that supports customers'
operations on new markets effectively. Global machine and equipment
manufacturers broaden their operations by entering new markets with new product
launches and production transfers closer to new markets. New market entries
require design of products and production and equipment manufacturing according
to country's authority regulations and standards. Design needs to be based on
up-to-date and accurate information of authority regulations and standards that
often change quickly. Intertek can provide this information to Etteplan's
customer projects enabling high quality and time saving in technical design work
and product information management.
Etteplan increased its ownership in Etteplan Vataple Technology Centre Ltd.
(EVTC), located in Kunshan, China, from 40% to 70% on July 1, 2010. Etteplan
used its option right to buy the majority of the share capital of the company
according to the contract that came into force on April 8, 2008.
Cooperation between Etteplan and Sjöland & Thyselius Holding AB that was signed
in the end of second quarter of the year, developed favourably during the review
period.
During the review period new customer projects commenced among others with
Glaston Oyj and Technip Offshore Finland Oy. Etteplan provides product
development services to Glaston and design services for Olkiluoto 3 nuclear
power plant to Technip Offshore Finland.
Financial development for July-September
Etteplan's revenue for continuing operations in July-September 2010 increased
and was EUR 23.1 million (7-9/2009: EUR 18.3 million). Design services' improved
demand situation and enhanced market share in 2009 affected the improved
revenue. Etteplan's business is cyclical and third quarter's revenue is lower
compared to other quarters of the year due to holiday season.
Operating profit for continuing operations was EUR 1.2 million (7-9/2009: EUR
-1.7 million). Operating profit includes EUR 0.5 million non-recurring item
relating to the re-evaluation of ownership in Etteplan Vataple Technology Centre
(EVTC). According to IFRS principles acquiring the majority of a company,
requires the company to re-evaluate the previously held ownership to fair value
and book the difference of value in income statement. Improved demand for design
services as well as adjustment and cost saving measures affected the improvement
of operating profit.
REVIEW FOR JANUARY-SEPTEMBER 2010
Business review for January-September
The uneven development of demand for design services that occurred during the
first half of the year, stabilized during the third quarter of the year. The
demand was on a good level in Etteplan's all central customer industries during
the third quarter, as the aerospace and defence equipment industry's demand
recovered. Despite the recovery of market situation the demand is still on low
level compared to the peak years.
In Finland, the recovery of demand for design services commenced slower than in
Sweden in the early part of the year, but demand continued improve steadily
during the whole review period. In Sweden, the market situation's recovery's
impact to demand for design services was quick in the first quarter of the year
and stabilized during the second quarter of the year. The demand recovered to
new increase in the third quarter.
Etteplan steadily renewed framework agreements with its established customers
during the whole review period.
Company started to renew its legal structure in Finland from April 1, 2010 and
the concentration of business operations to Etteplan Design Center Oy was
completed on July 1, 2010. In Sweden, business operations will be concentrated
to four legal companies in phases by the beginning of year 2011. Group
administration units continue their operations in the parent company Etteplan
Oyj. Change in legal structure does not impact the content of financial
reporting in 2010. Legal structure change will have an impact on parent
company's balance sheet. Parent company's balance sheet will be presented in
company's annual report 2010.

at its meeting of November 9, 2010.
Basis for preparation
The interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 (Interim
Financial Reporting) and the preparation and accounting policies presented in
the 2009 annual financial statements, but not all requirements of the IAS 34
standard for interim financial reporting have been followed in the accounting.
Monetary figures in the interim report are presented in thousands of euros. All
figures in the tables have been rounded up or down, due to which the sums of
figures may deviate from the sum totals presented.
In interim report the accounting principles used were the same as for the 2009
annual financial statements. The annual financial statements are available at
http://etteplan.smartpage.fi/en/annualreport09/ and the accounting policy is
detailed on pages 26-30 of the annual report 2009. Formulas for the key figures
are detailed on page 45 of the annual report 2009.
Income taxes
The taxes listed in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income have been
calculated with the tax rate appropriate for the projected full-year result. The
estimated average effective tax rate for the year has been set separately for
each relevant country. The effective tax rate used in the interim report is
26.9%.
Risks
Etteplan´s financial results are exposed to number of strategic, operational and
financial risks.
Etteplan Group's most significant goodwill is related to the Swedish operations.
