Aruandekvartali konsolideeritud müügitulu oli 11,8 (2015 I kv: 10,9) miljonit eurot. Aruandekvartali müügitulu kasvas võrreldava perioodi suhtes 7% ehk 0,8 miljonit eurot. 89% müügituludest saadi Tootmise segmendist ning Kinnisvara ja Muud tegevusalad andsid kokku 11% konsolideeritud müügimahust. Elektriseadmete müük andis 94% (2015 I kv: 91%) Tootmise segmendi müügitulust ning 84% (2015 I kv: 81%) kogu Kontserni müügitulust. Elektriseadmete müük kasvas 11% ehk 935 tuhat eurot. Renditulu suurenemine 8% ehk 38 tuhat eurot võrreldava perioodi suhtes oli tingitud eelkõige Allika Tööstuspargis tootmishoone valmimisega 2015. aasta juunis.

Kontserni suurim turg - Soome - on kasvanud aastaga 20% ehk 1 235 tuhat eurot. Aruandekvartalis müüdi 63% Kontserni toodetest ja teenustest (2015 I kv: 56%) Soome turule ning enamus Kontserni ettevõtteid on suutnud oma müügimahtusid Soome turule kasvatada. Kontserni juhtkonna 2016. aasta prognooside kohaselt suureneb Soome turu osakaal veelgi.

Aastaga on tõusnud müük Rootsi turule 160% ehk 487 tuhat eurot. Kuigi Rootsi ettevõtte Harju Elekter AB tegevus on peatatud on AS Harju Elekter Elektrotehnika teinud eesmärgipärast tööd Rootsi turul müügimahtude kasvatamiseks.

Kontsern müüs aruandekvartalis Eesti turule 26% (2015 I kv: 28%) oma toodetest ja teenustest.

Äritegevuse kulud kasvasid aruandeperioodil 4%. Müüdud toodete ja teenuste kulu suurenes 5% 9 688 tuhande euroni. Turustuskulud kasvasid aruandekvartalis 39 tuhande euro võrra 723 tuhande euroni, turustuskulude määr moodustas müügitulust 6,1 % (2015 I kv: 6,2%). Üldhalduskulud olid võrreldava perioodi näitajast 79 tuhat eurot väiksemad. Üldhalduskulude määr moodustas müügitulust 8,1%, kahanedes 1,3 protsendipunkti võrra.

2015. aasta teises pooles alanud tootmise optimeerimine Kontserni Eesti ettevõtetes on toonud kaasa töötajate arvu vähendamise.  2016. aasta I  kvartalis töötas Kontsernis keskmiselt 453 inimest, mis oli keskmiselt 14 töötajat vähem kui võrreldaval perioodil. Aruandekvartalis maksti töötajatele palkade ja tasudena välja 2 374 (2015 I kv: 2 388) tuhat eurot. Keskmine töötasu kuus Kontserni töötaja kohta oli 1 747 (2015 I kv: 1 705) eurot. Tööjõukulud kahanesid 4,5% 2 950 tuhande euroni ning tööjõukulude määr müügitulust 28%lt 2015. aasta I kvartalis 25%ni aruandekvartalis.

Aruandekvartali kasumid ja kasumimarginaalid on võrreldava perioodi suhtes paranenud. Esimese kvartali konsolideeritud brutokasum oli 2 069 (2015 I kv: 1 698) tuhat eurot. Aruandekvartali brutokasumi marginaaliks kujunes 17,6% (2015 I kv: 15,5%).

Kontserni esimese kvartali ärikasum oli 390 (2015 I kv: 29) tuhat eurot ja ärikasum enne kulumit 780 (2015 I kv: 388) tuhat eurot. Aruandekvartali ärirentaabluseks kujunes 3,3% (2015 I kv: 0,3%) ja ärirentaabluseks enne kulumit 6,6% (2015 I kv 3,5%).

Aruandekvartali konsolideeritud puhaskasum oli 311 (2015 I kv: 10) tuhat eurot, millest emaettevõtte omanike osa moodustas 324 (2015 I kv: 16) tuhat eurot. Puhaskasum aktsia kohta oli I  kvartalis 0,02 eurot.

Kontsern investeeris 3 kuuga põhivarasse kokku 49 tuhat eurot, 2015 I kvartalis 1,04 miljonit eurot. Suuremad investeeringud on Kontsernil plaanis teha 2016. aasta teisel poolel.

Juhatus teeb korralisele üldkoosolekule ettepaneku maksta 2015. aasta eest dividendideks 0,05 (2014:0,15) eurot aktsia kohta, kokku 877 (2015: 2 610) tuhat eurot. Juhatus toetab ka nõukogu ettepanekuid põhikirja muutmiseks ning aktsiakapitali vähendamist summani 11,2 miljonit eurot, millega kaasneb täiendav väljamakse aktsionäridele 0,07 eurot aktsia kohta.

Aprillis sõlmiti eelleping mehaaniliste ja elektromehaaniliste seadmete ja komponentide tootjaga Stera Technologies Oy neile tootmishoonete ehitamiseks ja hilisemaks rentimiseks Kontsernile kuuluvas Allika Tööstuspargis.

The sale of electrical equipment was up by 11% or 935,000 euros.

The Finnish market, which is the Group’s largest, has grown by 20% or 1,235,000 euros year-on-year. In the reporting quarter, 63% of the Group’s products and services were sold on the Finnish market (Q1 2015: 56%). Most of the Group’s enterprises have managed to grow their sales volumes on the Finnish market.

Sales to the Swedish market have grown by 160% or 487,000 euros year-on-year. While the operations of the Swedish company Harju Elekter AB have been suspended, AS Harju Elekter Elektrotehnika has been working towards increasing its sales volumes on the Swedish markets.

During the reporting quarter 26% (Q1 2015: 28%) of the Group’s products and services were sold on the Estonian market.

In the reporting quarter, the operating expenses increased by 4%. The cost of sales increased by 5% up to 9,688,000 euros.

The optimisation of production, which started in the second half of 2015 in the Group’s Estonian enterprises, involved staff reductions. In Q1 2016, the average 453 people worked in the Group ? on the average by 14 persons less than in the reference period; employee wages and salaries totalled 2,374,000 (Q1 2015: 2,388,000) euros.

Post-balance events

The outcome of restructuring is significant economy in terms of manufacturing as well as labour costs. The merger of factories will be realised over the course of 2016.

The general meeting of shareholders of PKC Group Oyj, held on 4 April 2016, decided to pay dividends amounting to 0.70 euros per share. Dividends were transferred to the bank accounts of shareholders on 15 April 2016. AS Harju Elekter owns 1,094,641 of PKC Group Oyj shares. The dividend income of 766,000 euros is reflected in the profit and cash flow from investment activity for Q2 of 2016. The 15% income tax on dividends, withheld in Finland, accounted for 115,000 euros. The cash flow from investment activity (PKC Group dividends) accounted for 651,000 euros.

The Management Board of AS Harju Elekter called an annual general meeting of shareholders on 28 April 2016. The Board will propose to the AGM to pay a dividend of 0.05 (2014: 0.15) euros per share for the year 2015, totalling 877 (2014: 2,610) thousand euros. The Management Board also supports the Supervisory Board’s proposals to amend the articles of association and the reduction of share capital to 11.2 million euros, involving an additional disbursement of 0.07 euro per share to the shareholders.

In April, a preliminary contract was concluded with Stera Technologies Oy, manufacturer of mechanical and electromechanical assemblies, for the construction and subsequent rental of production facilities in Allika Industrial Park, which belongs to the Group. The total size of the production facilities is 8400 m2 and they will be delivered to the lessee in two stages, in April 2017 and October 2018.
