Chief Executive’s comments Net sales in the fourth quarter were 1% lower than last year, and explained by a weaker market in Finland and Russia. This sales decline was counterbalanced by a stronger development in the Swedish and American markets during the last quarter of 2013. The operating profit excluding depreciation and non-recurring items (adjusted EBITDA) amounted to 63 MSEK or 10.4% and this was 47 MSEK better than the same period 2012 (pro forma adjusted for gain on “bargain purchase” and transactions costs), despite a lower turnover 2013. The improved operating profit was mainly related to higher margins and lower costs than fourth quarter 2012.

The group’s total net sales during Q4-13 were lower than the same period last year (pro forma) due to a weaker development in Finland and Russia. However, this sales decline was compensated by an improved sales performance in the regions Nordics, Americas and Other markets.

Fixed costs have also been lower in the fourth quarter 2013 compared with the year before. Focus on profitable business in combination with improved product mix and realised synergies supported the improved operating profit for the group. Operating profit excluding depreciation and non-recurring items (adjusted EBITDA) was 47 MSEK higher than Q4-12 (pro forma adjusted for ”bargain purchase” and transaction costs) and amounted to 63 MSEK or 10.4% compared with 16 MSEK or 2.6% for the same period last year.

During the year, there has been a high focus on reducing net working capital. After an increase by 67 MSEK during the first three quarters, lower account receivables and higher account payables supported the net working capital reduction of 108 MSEK in the fourth quarter. The inventory has increased in 2013 due to safety stock of finished goods for the factory shutdown in Finland and the transfer of veneer floor production to Poland.

The parquet production in Kuopio, Finland, has been closed according to plan in October 2013, and the expected synergies linked to the shutdown have been verified in Q4. The parquet production in Tuupovaara has been scaled down and do currently focus on specific design products. All other parquet production in Finland has been transferred to the production sites in Sweden and Russia.

To summarize full-year 2013, a year with high focus on the integration process between Kährs and Karelia-Upofloor which has been performed according to plan. Net sales have declined by 6% during the year and this is partly explained by negative currency impact, but mainly due to weaker market development in Finland and Russia. During the second half of 2013, we have seen a positive development in especially Sweden and the US. The group’s gross margin was 34.7% in 2013 compared with 33.6% in 2012 (pro forma) and our operating profit excluding depreciation and non-recurring items (adjusted EBITDA) has improved to 227 MSEK or 9.3%.

Financial highlights and key ratios In Kährs Holding AB’s consolidated financials, Karelia-Upofloor Oy is included since December 3, 2012, when 100% of the shares were acquired. In immediate connection with this acquisition, the owner of Kährs Group, Nanna II S.C.A., contributed 100% of the shares in Oak Norge AS. The contribution appeared on December 3, 2012 and Oak Norge AS is also included in the financial statements of Kährs Holding AB group from that date. Fourth quarter and full-year 2013 in brief

Comparative figures below are pro forma and show fourth quarter and full-year as if Kährs, Karelia-Upofloor and Oak Norge had been consolidated since 1 January 2012. It should be noted that the comparison figures below for 2012 have been affected positively with 249 MSEK from gain on “bargain purchase”1 and negatively by 19 MSEK from transaction costs in connection with the above mentioned acquisition.

Net sales amounted to 607 MSEK (615), a reduction of 8 MSEK or 1% compared with last year. For full-year 2013, net sales was 2,437 MSEK (2,605), a decrease of 6% of which 2.5% was related to currency impact.

The operating profit excluding depreciation and non-recurring items (Adj. EBITDA) in Q4 amounted to 63 MSEK (246) or 10.4% (40.0). The adjusted EBITDA for full-year 2013 was 227 MSEK (406) or 9.3% (15.6). Adjusted for gain on ”bargain purchase” and transaction costs for the Karelia-Upofloor acquisition, the 2012 adjusted EBITDA reached 176 MSEK or 6.8%. This means that the 2013 adjusted EBITDA of 227 MSEK was 29% higher than in 2012.

The operating result before non-recurring items (adjusted EBIT) in the fourth quarter was 47 MSEK (219) or 7.7% (35.6). Adjusted EBIT for full-year 2013 was 130 MSEK (290) or 5.3% (11.1).

The profit for the period amounted to -36 MSEK (141) during Q4-13 and -39 MSEK (194) in FY2013. The reason for this negative deviation in 2013 was non-recurring items of -72 MSEK mainly related to factory shutdown in Finland and also the above mentioned “bargain purchase” and transaction costs.

The shutdown of the parquet production in Finland during second half of 2013 has developed according to plan and the expected annual synergies have been verified during the fourth quarter.

The company has in December 2013 done a 130 MSEK partial repayment on shareholder loans.

1 In the PPA regarding the shares in Karelia-Upofloor the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed exceeded the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration transferred, usually referred to as bargain purchase. According to IFRS principles, the excess, 249 MSEK, was recognized as other operating income in the 2012 IFRS financial statements.

Net sales

Net sales for the group amounted to 607 MSEK (615) in the fourth quarter, a reduction of 8 MSEK or 1%. The main reason for this decline is explained by the sales development in Finland and Russia and also negative currency impact.

Net Sales by region

The sales regions had a continued mixed development during the fourth quarter with Americas as the strongest region with 28% growth, followed by Other markets at 25% and Nordics at 7%. The positive development in the key markets in the Nordic region was driven by a favorable market situation but also due to taken market shares from competitors.

Central Europe delivered net sales 2% lower than the fourth quarter last year, while region Finland/Baltics and Russia/CIS showed a declining sales development during the quarter at -19% and -18% respectively, mainly due to the weaker market situation in the project business.

Also for the full-year 2013, Americas was the strongest growing region for Kährs with a sales growth of 13%, followed by a positive development in Sweden where the group is clearly taking market shares from competitors in most market segments. Within the group’s key markets, Russia and Finland had the weakest development during the year due to a passive project market.

Operating result (adjusted EBITDA and EBIT)

The operating result excluding depreciation and non-recurring items (adjusted EBITDA) amounted to 63 MSEK (246) or 10.4% (40.0) in the fourth quarter. Adjusted EBITDA for 2013 was 227 MSEK (406) or 9.3% (15.6). Operating result (EBIT) during Q4-13 was -7 MSEK (213) and for the full-year 2013 EBIT amounted to 58 MSEK (274).

The negative EBIT development in 2013 compared to last year is explained by -72 MSEK in non-recurring items. In addition, EBIT for 2012 has been affected positively by 249 MSEK from gain on bargain purchase and negatively by 19 MSEK for transaction costs.

Adjusted for all items above, the adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter 2012 was 16 MSEK or 2.6% to be compared with 63 MSEK or 10.4% during the same period 2013. The corresponding adjustments on full-year 2012 results in an adjusted EBITDA of 176 MSEK or 6.8% to be compared with 2013 at 227 MSEK or 9.3%, i.e. an improvement in 2013 with 51 MSEK.

Notes Note 1, Accounting policies This interim report is prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and IAS34, Interim Financial Reporting. For information regarding the accounting policies applied, see the Provisional IFRS Consolidated Financial Statements for fiscal year 2012.

The preparation of the financial reports in accordance with IFRS requires management to make judgments and estimates, as well as assumptions, which affect the application of the accounting principles and the carrying amounts in the income statement and balance sheet. Estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and a number of factors that under current circumstances seem reasonable. The results of these estimates and assumptions are then used to determine the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that otherwise are not clearly indicated by other sources. Actual outcomes may deviate from these estimates and judgments.

Note 5, Change of accounting principles – transition to IFRS The Group is a first time adopter of IFRS. In accordance with IFRS 1, the opening statement of financial position as at the transition date, 1 January 2012, has been prepared. The main differences in the IFRS opening statement of financial position between the previously applied Swedish accounting principles and IFRS is the identification and accounting of finance leases and financial derivative instruments. As a consequence of the business combination with Karelia Upofloor Group and the contribution by the shareholders of the Oak Norge Group, additional differences between the previously applied Swedish accounting principles and IFRS are affecting the financial statements. In the table below reconciliation is shown for the conversion effects on the Group´s equity and net profit/loss after tax between Swedish accounting principles and IFRS.
