NET SALES AND OPERATING PROFIT DECLINED - ORDER BOOK AT
PRE-PANDEMIC LEVEL
Net sales for the first half of 2023 declined by 37% to EUR 23.0
million (H1 2022: 36.7). Operating profit excluding items affecting
comparability deteriorated by EUR -1.9 million to EUR 0.3 million
(EUR 2.2 million). The result for the review period was negative.
At the end of the review period, the order book stood at EUR 28.0
million.
January-June 2023
- Honkarakenne Group’s
net sales in January–June amounted to EUR 23.0 million (H1 2022:
36.7). Net sales declined by 24% from the corresponding period of
the previous year.
- Operating profit was
slightly negative and amounted to EUR -0.0 million (2.2). Adjusted
operating profit was EUR 0.3 million (2.2). The adjusted operating
profit includes costs of EUR 0.4 recorded as a result of change
negotiations.
- Profit before taxes
was EUR -0.4 million (1.7) and adjusted profit before taxes was EUR
-0.1 million (1.7). The profit for the review period is weakened by
the unfavourable exchange rate development of the Japanese yen
recorded in financial expenses.
- Earnings per share
was EUR -0.07 (0.23).
- The Group's
financial position is strong, with an equity ratio of 59.3% (55.7%)
and net financial liabilities of EUR -6.8 million (-14.5).
Honkarakenne’s guidance for 2023 remains unchanged from the
guidance updated in the beginning of June. According to
Honkarakenne's view, the Group's net sales in 2023 will fall from
the previous year and amount to EUR 47-52 million. The Group's
operating profit will decrease and remain between EUR -0.5 and +0.8
million.
The Group's order book totalled EUR 28.0 million (51.3). The
order book for the review period remained at the levels of the
comparison periods of 2019 and 2020.

Honkarakenne Oyj's CEO Marko Saarelainen commented on the
half-year report as follows:
The first half of the year was challenging due to the market
environment. The Group's net sales and operating profit fell
significantly compared to the same period last year and sales were
very weak in the early part of the year. The commercial pick-up
started partly in late spring and order intake was at the level of
the years before the pandemic in 2019 and 2020.
Production volumes at the Karstula plant decreased
significantly, which led to an increase in unit prices in terms of
production costs. The decrease in raw material purchase prices was
not sufficient to cover the cost of the fall in production
volumes.
The Group continued the redundancy and adjustment measures
started in the previous year. In addition, new change negotiations
were launched in the parent company in May and concluded in June
before the end of the review period. The decisions taken after the
end of the negotiations resulted in 22 redundancies in the office
and production staff in Finland.
Alongside the adjustment measures, the focus continued to be on
promoting and implementing development projects in line with the
strategy. The company implemented a business reorganisation based
on the Customer experience for profitable growth transformation
programme, resulting in improved customer satisfaction and
profitability from new projects, especially for the business in
Finland.
As an investment in the Japanese export market, a new office and
showroom for the Japanese subsidiary was opened in Tokyo in June.
In addition, the subsidiary's organisation was strengthened with
architectural expertise and the business focused on B2B sales.
At the Karstula plant, improvements were made to the area's
logistical solutions, which contribute to occupational safety and
operational efficiency in the area. In addition, replacement
investments in production machinery were started for the glue
applicator and planer machine. At the end of the review period, the
Group decided to launch the “Customer 360 project”, in connection
with which a new customer management and project tracking system
will be introduced next year
This year marked the 20th anniversary of the development of
Honka's non-settling Fusion log. During these years, the properties
of non-settling Fusion logs and various solid log building
solutions have been systematically researched and developed. As a
result of this work, a solid log terraced house concept suitable
for founding contractors was launched in early winter. The product
is particularly in demand among housing developers who are
investing in environmentally friendly, responsible, low-carbon, and
energy-efficient construction solutions.
The current outlook for a more favourable development of sales
is still very uncertain. With housing production in Finland at a
virtual standstill, a rapid market recovery is uncertain.
The project portfolio in the Finnish project business is
stronger than in the consumer business and demand has been growing
favourably. There are also positive project openings in the export
business, but for example the main markets of the subsidiaries have
remained very depressed.
In addition to the Finnish market, Honkarakenne will continue to
focus on increasing exports in its selected export regions.
Additional reinforcements are sought in the export market through
importers and partners. The Group is engaged in several
export-driven development projects to strengthen profitability and
process efficiency, while improving customer and employee
experience."
NET SALES
Honkarakenne Group’s net sales for the first half of 2023
decreased by 37% to EUR 23.0 million (36.7).
Honkarakenne presents its net sales data divided in two

ORDER BOOK
The Group's order book was 45% lower than in the comparison year
and amounted to EUR 28.0 million (51.3). It was at a similar level
at the end of June in 2019 and 2020. The order book decreased by
3.5% from EUR 29.0 million at the end of December last year.
Order book refers to orders with a delivery date within the next
24 months. Some orders may have a financing or building permit
condition
TRENDS IN PROFIT AND PROFITABILITY
Adjusted operating profit for the review period was EUR 0.3
million (2.2). The operating profit stood at EUR -0.0 million (2.2)
and profit before taxes at EUR -0.4 million (1.7). Adjustments for
the period include costs of EUR 0.4 million for decisions taken
following the change negotiations that ended in June. The costs of
downsizing and reorganisation arise from redundancy pay and other
costs related to staff and change protection services.
The development of the operating profit was negatively affected
by significantly lower net sales than in the previous year and
higher unit costs due to reduced production volumes, which could
not be fully offset by lower raw material costs. Due to the
promotion of ongoing strategic projects, it was not possible to
fully adjust staff costs in all areas. The early part of the year
saw the reorganisation of the business and the promotion,
implementation, and documentation of projects to increase sales and
profitability. These investments will have a positive impact on
customer satisfaction and improved profitability for projects.
The operating profit for the comparison period includes the last
deliveries of projects in the order and delivery phase to the
Russian importer before the EU export sanctions entered into force.
After customs sanctions came into force, Honkarakenne suspended all
deliveries to Russia. Sales were discontinued right away at the
beginning of March.
FINANCING AND INVESTMENT
At the end of the review period, Honkarakenne's financial
position was good and the Group's equity ratio was 59.3% (55.7%).
Net gearing ratio was -41.5% (-86.8%). The Group's net financial
liabilities amounted to EUR -6.8 million (-14.5), so the Group's
liquid assets exceeded its financial liabilities. The Group’s
liquid assets totalled EUR 10.5 million (17.6). The Group also has
a EUR 3.0 million (3.0) overdraft facility, which has not been used
in the review period or the comparison period.
The Group's gross investments amounted to EUR 0.6 million (0.2),
excluding right-of-use assets in accordance with the IFRS 16
standard. Investments during the review period are mainly related
to the replacement of the log line and gluer at the Karstula mill
and the further development of the ERP system project.
PRODUCTS AND MARKET AREAS
In Finland, net sales were 44% lower than in
the same period last year at EUR 14.9 million (26.4). Sales
remained at pre-pandemic levels. Persistently high inflation and
rising interest rates, together with general economic uncertainty,
have significantly dampened the housing market. On the consumer
business side, demand for detached houses was significantly weaker
than for holiday homes.
The early part of the year was very quiet in terms of project
construction sales. Net sales increased from May onwards, after
which the net sales reached a level higher than in the comparison
period. Care facility project deliveries were carried out, e.g., to
Haukiputaa, Järvenpää, Vaasa and Aura. In recent years, the project
construction business has delivered nearly 100 school, day-care and
nursing home solutions across Finland. In care facility
construction, demand and the project portfolio have developed
favourably in the early part of the year.
In January, Honkarakenne and its founding contractor partners
won the contract to build a new block of log apartment buildings
and a new area of terraced houses in Järvenpää's Anni-täti
residential area. The new terraced house concept launched by Honga
has led to a significant increase in interest and demand among
housing developers. Overall, the project construction portfolio has
developed well. The business outlook for the rest of the year and
the coming year is better than the general housing market
situation. There is still uncertainty in the market as to when
projects will start, and delays may occur if general market
recovery is prolonged. This naturally affects the timing of the
expected net sales accumulation.
In exports, net sales were 22% lower than in
the corresponding period of the previous year at EUR 8.1 million
(10.3). Net sales for the comparison period included the last
project deliveries to Russia that were in the order and production
process. Similar to demand in Finland, demand for exports was weak
in the early part of the year. Net sales were largely made up of
larger sales in the export project business, with a few larger
resort area reception buildings delivered. In addition to these,
Honka Haiku, a model house for holiday homes to be sold in another
area, was delivered.
In the export project business, final-stage commercial
negotiations for the delivery of a new holiday resort area were
underway with a new client. After the end of the review period, a
supply agreement was signed for the rest of the year and the early
part of next year.
In June, the opening of the new office and showroom of the
subsidiary Honka Japan was held in Tokyo, with customer meetings
and sales and training days for dealers.
STRATEGY 2022–2024
The aim of the strategy, which will be in force until the end of
2024, is to strengthen Honkarakenne Oyj’s position as Finland’s
largest exporter of wooden buildings. With the export-driven
strategy, the company seeks to increase net sales with a focus on
profitability during the strategy period. The profitability
objectives are based on process efficiency, while significantly
enhancing the customer and employee experience.
Honkarakenne Group's vision is to become the leader in
environmentally friendly and healthy housing in our chosen market
areas. The Group’s mission is to improve the quality of people’s
lives and housing.
Honkarakenne’s strategic objectives for the 2022–2024 period
are:
- Increasing exports by focusing on and allocating resources to
selected markets
- Increased profitability through further enhancing the customer
and employee experience
- A responsible leader focused on health and the future.
To implement the strategy, the company has several ongoing
preparatory and development projects in various stages in its key
operations to support the progress of the strategy. Due to the
changed market situation, investments have been focused on
increasing sales and projects that improve profitability. At the
beginning of the year, the Customer experience for profitable
growth transformation programme was implemented to reorganise the
business to ensure a better customer experience and a more
profitable business. In addition, a process of strategic work to
develop and clarify activities in the different export focus
markets, market intelligence updates, and identification and search
processes for partners and importers are ongoing.
Honkarakenne states that it does not consider long-term targets
as market guidance for any particular year of the strategy
period.
SUSTAINABILITY
Sustainability is a key part of Honkarakenne’s strategy.
Honkarakenne Group is continuously developing its production,
services and selection to enable healthier, more ecological and
better-quality living. Group focuses on building the future and
choices are guided by human and natural vitality. Honkarakenne’s
sustainability programme, `We are building the future’, is based on
the changes we have identified in our operating environment, our
ethical principles, recognised expectations of our staff and other
stakeholders, and understanding the customer in our markets.
Responsible purchasing and eco-friendly production are at the core
of our business, and we are constantly developing the health and
safety of our houses.
As part of Honkarakenne's sustainability programme, the parent
company uses 100% electricity produced with renewable energy and
certified with a guarantee of origin with carbon dioxide emissions
of 0 g/kWh at all its own sites.
SEASONAL NATURE OF OUR BUSINESS
Honkarakenne operates in a business that is seasonal by nature.
Especially in Finland, construction mostly takes place during
summer, so there are more deliveries in summer and autumn than
during the winter. Considering the existing market and demand
conditions, the company aims to even out this seasonality
especially with export activities. During the review period, the
company's market situation was challenging in all its areas.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
The Group's R&D costs in January-June were EUR 0.3 million
(0.2), which was 1.2% (0.4 %) of net sales. Research and
development activities focused on product solutions for export
markets and continued to focus on log structures suitable for
larger public buildings in particular. Honkarakenne's log product
project for public and large buildings is part of a wood
construction programme partly funded by the Ministry of the
Environment. The aim of the project and programme is to increase
the use of wood in construction to promote climate targets. Wood
construction is part of sustainable use of forests. The Group has
not capitalised development costs during the review period.
PERSONNEL
The Group’s average number of personnel, measured in
person-years, totalled 184 persons (182) during the first half of
the year. The increase from the comparison period was 2 people. The
Group’s average number of personnel, measured by employment
relationships, was 189 (188) during the first half of the year.
In February, the Board of Directors of the Group's parent
company decided, in accordance with the rules of the personnel fund
established in December, to reward all personnel by a separate
decision based on the results for the financial year 2022. The
bonuses were paid to the persons covered by the staff fund after
the Annual General Meeting in April.
In the change negotiations that ended in late 2022, it was
agreed that the employer will be entitled to a maximum of 90 days
of temporary layoffs and working time arrangements for all staff
during 2023. Temporary layoffs were implemented during the review
period.
Low demand and a prolonged period of weak market prospects led
to the initiation of new change negotiations in May 2023. The
change negotiations ended in June and as a result, the parent
company decided to dismiss 9 employees and 13 clerical employees at
the end of the review period. In addition, the parent company is
authorised to lay off its staff during 2023 and 2024 if the
economic or production situation so requires.
As a result of the decisions and measures taken, personnel
expenses and other expenses totalling EUR 0.4 million were recorded
in the result for the period. According to the Group's definition,
reorganisation costs are adjustment items that do not affect the
Group's adjusted result.

During the review period Honkarakenne's Executive Board
consisted of Marko Saarelainen, CEO; Juha-Matti Hanhikoski, Vice
President, Production; Eino Hekali, Vice President, Product; Maarit
Jylhä, CFO; Petri Perttula Business Vice President, Operations
Finland; and Maarit Taskinen, Vice President, Operations

FLAGGING NOTIFICATIONS

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
In 2023, Honkarakenne Oyj complies Finnish Corporate Governance
Code for listed companies issued by the Securities Market
Association in 2020. For more information about corporate
governance, go to www.honka.fi.
SHORT-TERM RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The main risks and uncertainties of Honkarakenne relate to
negative changes in the operating environment of the company and
its customers, increased costs of raw materials and components,
their availability and the functioning of the overall supply
chains. If demand falls sharply in the operating environment and
costs remain high, it may have significant effects on the company’s
earnings development.
The economic uncertainty in the Group’s operating environment is
negatively reflected in business and consumer confidence. The
short-term economic risks continue to be increased by high
inflation and the continued rise in interest rates during the
financial period.
The uncertainty of the military aggression initiated by Russia
and all its effects on business are difficult to assess.
Replacing the lost order book in the Russian market area with
other export markets may be prolonged or uncertain in the current
global market situation. If the war is prolonged or expands it can
have a considerable negative effect on the Group’s business,
financial position and operating profit.
The valuation of items in the balance sheet is based on the
management’s current estimates. Any changes to these estimates may
affect the company’s financial performance.
EVENTS AFTER THE REVIEW PERIOD
The merger plan of Honkarakenne Oyj's subsidiary Honka
Management Oy with the parent company has been registered with the
Trade Register of the Finnish Patent and Registration Office at the
end of July 2023. The reasons for the merger are to reorganise the
group structure, reduce unnecessary administration, improve
operational efficiency, and save costs.
As of the end of July, the parent company has signed a contract
for the delivery of the resort project in the framework of its
export business, with the first holiday homes to be delivered in
the last quarter of the year and the next planned deliveries to
take place from spring-winter 2024 onwards. The order book for the
review period does not include the delivery of the resort project
in question.
REPORTING
This report contains statements that relate to the future, and
these statements are based on hypotheses that the company's
management hold currently, and on the decisions and plans that are
currently in place. Although the management believes that the
hypotheses relating to the future are well-founded, there is no
guarantee that the said hypotheses will prove to be correct.
This half-year report has been prepared in accordance with IAS
34. The half-year report should be read together with the 2022
financial statements. The accounting policies used in preparing the
half-year report are the same as in the financial statements for
2022, with the exception of standards and interpretations that have
come into force on 1 January 2023 or thereafter. The new standards
or interpretations effective as of 1 January 2023 did not have a
material impact on the figures presented for the review period.
The half-year report has not been audited and the figures are
unaudited.
Figures in brackets refer to the corresponding period one year
earlier, unless otherwise stated.
Honkarakenne complies with the Guidelines on Alternative
Performance Measures (APM) issued by the European Securities and
Markets Authority (ESMA). An APM is a financial measure of
performance other than a financial measure defined or specified in
IFRS. The company classifies significant business transactions that
are considered to affect comparisons between different reporting
periods as adjustment items. Such transactions include significant
reorganisation expenses, significant impairment losses or reversals
thereof, significant capital gains and losses on assets, and other
significant non-customary income or expenses.
OUTLOOK FOR 2023 (published on 1 June 2023)
Honkarakenne’s guidance for 2023 remains unchanged from the
guidance updated in the beginning of June. According to
Honkarakenne's view, the Group's net sales in 2023 will fall from
the previous year and amount to EUR 47-52 million. The Group's
operating profit will decrease and remain between EUR -0.5 and +0.8
million.
BASIS FOR THE OUTLOOK
The company's view of 2023 development is based on the existing
order book, orders received during spring and summer, a view of
continuing challenges in the operating environment, and weak market
recovery. The company's order intake for the rest of the year from
the home market and especially export countries has accumulated
significantly slower than in previous years.

NOTES TO THE
REPORT
Accounting policies
This half-year report bulletin has been prepared in accordance
with IAS 34. The half-year report bulletin should be read together
with the 2022 financial statements. The accounting policies used in
preparing the financial statements are the same as in the financial
statements for 2022, with the exception of standards and
interpretations that have come into force on 1 January 2023 or
thereafter. The impact of the new standards and interpretations is
described later in the section “New standards and
interpretations”.
The half-year report bulletin has not been audited and the
figures are unaudited.
The figures presented in the bulletin are rounded, so the sum of
individual figures may differ from the amount shown.
Figures in brackets refer to the corresponding period one year
earlier, unless otherwise stated.
New standards and interpretations
The new standards or interpretations effective as of 1 January
2023 did not have a material impact on the figures presented for
the review period.
Alternative Performance Measures
Honkarakenne complies with the Guidelines on Alternative
Performance Measures (APM) issued by the European Securities and
Markets Authority (ESMA). An APM is a financial measure of
performance other than a financial measure defined or specified in
IFRS. The company classifies significant business transactions that
are considered to affect comparisons between different reporting
periods as adjustment items. Such transactions include significant
reorganisation expenses, significant impairment losses or reversals
thereof, significant capital gains and losses on assets, and other
significant non-customary income or expenses.
In Honkarakenne’s view, Alternative Performance Measures provide
significant additional information to management, investors,
securities analysts and other parties on Honkarakenne’s operational
result, financial position and cash flows, and are frequently used
by analysts, investors and other parties. Return on equity, equity
ratio, net financial liabilities and gearing are presented as
supplementary key figures, as in the company’s view they are useful
indicators for assessing Honkarakenne’s ability to acquire
financing and pay its debts. In addition, gross investments and
R&D expenditure provide additional information on needs related
to Honkarakenne’s operational cash flow.
Segments
Honkarakenne has two geographical operating segments that are
combined into one segment for reporting purposes. Geographically,
sales are divided as follows: Finland and Exports. As management’s
internal reporting complies with IFRS reporting, separate
reconciliations are not presented.
