MARKET OUTLOOK
Cencorp is in transition from a company manufacturing only production automation applications and special components into a company that develops and provides Cleantech applications. The company’s objective is to achieve a strong market position as provider, using laser and automation technology, of high-quality photovoltaic modules that are locally produced in different market. The necessary transition phase provided by the company’s strategy is going on and proceeding according to the plans.
On 29 January 2013 Cencorp and Sunweb Solar Energy Holding BV (Sunweb Solar) completed a transaction in which Cencorp acquired Sunweb Solar's photovoltaic module business and related pilot production line, the Sunweb trademark as well as the patents and other intellectual property rights relating to the business.
Cencorp’s goal is to manufacture and implement a photovoltaic module production line, based on Cencorp's own layout, in Finland. The location of Cencorp’s photovoltaic module factory will probably be either Mikkeli or Salo. The plant is expected to be ready in early 2014 and according to Iikka Savisalo, Cencorp’s CEO, the plant's turnover will exceed 50 million Euros when operating at full capacity. Sales negotiations on the plant's production capacity are run with several foreign operators.
Negotiations with Avery Dennison Corporation (Avery Dennison), a US based company, on acquiring Avery Dennison's Conductive Back Sheet business have not yet been completed.
Cencorp has announced that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding on delivering Conductive Back Sheets (CBS) to one of the leading Chinese photovoltaic module manufacturers. The value of the Memorandum of Understanding is expected to be at its minimum ca. EUR 20 million over the next three years. Based on the latest written estimate given by the customer mass production of CBS components will commence in the first half of the year 2013. The Memorandum of Understanding is non-binding. However, in regard to the Memorandum of Understanding on delivering CBS to the Chinese photovoltaic module manufacturer, the estimated minimum value of EUR 20 million for the next three years will probably stay non-binding even though the actual Memorandum of Understanding turns into a binding supply contract. In this business sector customers do not give binding order estimations.
In the company’s strategy Cencorp has emphasized its growth being based on new Cleantech solutions and applications for new energies, in particular. Cencorp’s Cleantech strategy, if realized, will remarkably change the company’s cost structure and the targets set for the near future. As Cencorp is now in a strong transition phase, following the new strategy, Cencorp cannot assess how the change in company’s business focus will impact the company, due to which Cencorp has decided not to give any financial guidance for the time being, as stated in the release of 21 August 2012. As the transition phase is still continuing Cencorp does not give any financial guidance either in 2013.
Cencorp’s future outlook will be highly dependent on the company’s ability to reach the targeted market position in the global photovoltaic module market as well as on the company’s long-term and short-term financing. Cencorp’s goal is to reach strong market position as provider of locally produced high-quality photovoltaic modules. Risks are handled in more detail in the item Risk management, risks and uncertainties of this financial statement release.
LONG-TERM OBJECTIVES FOR MANAGING DIRECTOR
On 21 August 2012 Cencorp’s Board of Directors published its long-term financial and other objectives for Managing Director as follows:
- Thorough but fast transition from a company manufacturing only production automation applications and special components into a company that develops and provides Cleantech applications with a strong market position as provider, using laser and automation technology, of locally in different market areas produced, high-quality photovoltaic modules.
- Cencorp’s goal is to increase its shareholder value with growth and profitability. Cencorp aims for growth in Cleantech business where the company has good possibilities to achieve a strong global position and faster growth.
- Laser and Automation Applications segment has its main focus on the life cycle management of systems and equipments with growth expectations for service business.
- In the long run Cencorp is aiming for remarkable growth in its net sales with net sales target of more than EUR 200 million for 2016, provided the company has sufficient capital with growth coming mainly from Cleantech operations, especially from solar photovoltaic and fuel cell applications.
The long-term objectives set for the Managing Director involve also risks and the long-term objectives should not be considered as the company’s financial guidance. Even though the objectives are based on market knowledge and technical surveys, the risks are significant and it is not certain if the Managing Director reaches all or part of the targets set for him.
MANAGING DIRECTOR IIKKA SAVISALO’S REVIEW
In the last quarter of the fiscal year 2012 demand for Cencorp products was low. However, at the end of the fiscal year the markets seemed to start picking up. As a result of the statutory negotiations, run in the second quarter, the organization became leaner enabling it better to adjust its operations for lower demand. Extra savings were generated by outsourcing the production of almost all products in the area of Cencorp’s Laser and Automation Applications. The outsourcing project, that took almost two years, was successful creating base for improving profitability. Major investments in the Cleantech business and particularly in the development of next generation photovoltaic modules, related components and production automation started showing concrete results at the end of the year.
The company’s own capital and financing position was strengthened in December 2012 as the convertible bond of EUR 1.5 million was fully subscribed. Additionally, a decision of The Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation – Tekes to give a loan of about EUR 3 million for Cencorp’s Cleantech business had a positive impact in company’s financing position.
Cencorp is focusing on taking advantage of the technology transition stage going on in the global solar energy business and bringing new products and solutions using the latest photovoltaic technology in the further growing market. As the first solar photovoltaic product, Cencorp introduces next generation Conductive Back Sheet, used in photovoltaic modules, in the market. Further to this Cencorp has announced on 5 November 2012 that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with a major Chinese photovoltaic module manufacturer on delivering Conductive Back Sheets. Deliveries and relating cash flow is expected to start during the first half of 2013.
Cencorp utilizes its production automation knowhow of 30 years, in addition to its CBS technology. With the support of Sunweb Solar’s technology and market knowledge that Cencorp acquired at the end of January 2013 Cencorp has designed a fully automated production line to manufacture next generation CBS solar modules in an extremely competitive way. Automation process can be very well adapted to production of next generation solar modules. Fully automated production line designed by Cencorp enables profitable module production regardless of labor costs, close to final installation. Europe continues to be the leading market area for photovoltaic modules and Cencorp views there will be also European buyers for its production lines.
Cencorp is seeking to become a market leader in the field of CBS photovoltaic production technology. The company has started building its first full size photovoltaic module pilot production line for the company’s own use. The production line will be presented to the customers that are interested in automated solar module production. The module factory's final location will be either Mikkeli or Salo. In 2013 Cencorp will launch a collection of photovoltaic modules with advanced and modern design. The intention is to manufacture modules also at potential licensees’ plants worldwide, in addition to Cencorp’s own plant. The company estimates the first commercial photovoltaic module deliveries to start at the year-end of 2013. Cencorp also expects to sign its first contract on delivering module production line in the course of 2013.
OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
Cencorp mainly operates in industries applying electronics and Cleantech technology. Its main geographical market areas are Europe, North America, South America and Asia. Cencorp’s key customers for laser and automation applications operate globally and require local service. The global electronics industry, including the manufacture of mobile phones, is mostly concentrated in Asia, the domestic market area for the special components manufactured by Cencorp.
Special Components
In the near future the focus of Cencorp’s Special Components business will be in component manufacturing for next generation solar modules. The investment at the Beijing plant to enable mass production of large roll-to-roll Conductive Back Sheets is almost completed. Cencorp is confident that its Beijing plant will be one of the world’s most competitive plants of its kind. Cencorp’s Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on delivering CBS components to one of the leading solar module manufacturer is one proof of this. The MOU was announced on 5 November 2012. Cencorp has also started negotiations with several other leading solar module manufacturers. According to external experts' estimations the demand for CBS components will grow very fast in the next five years. Cencorp views the company will get a remarkable market share in the photovoltaic market provided it has sufficient capital to increase required capacity.
Even though Cencorp’s growth expectations lie mainly on photovoltaic module components, the company also provides tens of millions of NFC, RFID, WIFI and other flexible circuits used in mobile devices. Cencorp believes it has become the leading manufacturer of NFC (Near Field Communication) antennas. Cencorp estimates that as NFC antennas become more commonly used in mobile phone, Cencorp’s own antenna production will also grow.
Laser and Automation Applications
Demand for automation equipment that started to slow down in the second quarter, continued declining also in the third quarter, due to which Cencorp’s result turned negative despite leaner organization and lower cost structure. In order to decrease the influence of strong cycles relating to demand for automation applications, business development is gradually being focused more and more towards life cycle management. The demand for life cycle management services continued to be at reasonable level also throughout the last quarter. Cencorp’s operations in North America made a profitable full-year EBITA. The company believes that the market outlook for life cycle management services continue to be positive particularly in the North American market.
Demand for automation applications started recovering slowly at the end of the third quarter and positive trend continued throughout the fourth quarter. Even our customers were more active than before, Cencorp did not manage to get any major new orders in the field of electronics automation industry by the end of the year. According to Cencorp’s experience customers postponed orders because of general uncertain economic situation. However, value of the company’s order book is estimated to increase into acceptable level in the near future. An order of EUR 0.6 million for odd-form automation solutions, Cencorp received from a European customer, supports also this assumption. Cencorp’s laser and automation applications have been updated and are now competitive and the company finds no obstacle for growing demand, at least in terms of product portfolio.
Besides the traditional depaneling, laser materials processing and odd-form assembly Cencorp has started designing equipment used in photovoltaic module production. The company believes that demand for automated module production lines will very soon start growing fast due to the technological shift. Cencorp estimates that its automation applications designed for solar module production, will generate positive cash flow already in the fiscal year 2013.
FINANCING
Cash flow from business operations before investments in January – December was EUR -0.5 million (EUR -1.9 million). Trade receivables at the end of the reporting period were EUR 2.0 million (EUR 6.4 million). Net financial items amounted to EUR -0.8 million (EUR -0.6 million).
At the end of December, the equity ratio was 25.2 per cent (51.2 %) and equity per share was EUR 0.01 (EUR 0.05). At the end of the reporting period, the Group’s liquid assets totaled EUR 0.6 million (EUR 0.3 million) unused export credit limits, bank guarantee limits and factoring loans amounted to EUR 1.7 million (EUR 1.1 million). Sharp drop in the equity ratio originates, among other things, from write-off of ca. EUR 5.7 million relating to the closing of the Guangzhou plant.
As previously announced, Cencorp’s financing position has been tight and it involves risks. The loan arrangement of about EUR 3 million made with Tekes in December 2012 and the EUR 1.5 million convertible bond subscribed in December 2012 have positive effects in Cencorp's financing position. However, the Cencorp’s ongoing transition into a company that develops and provides Cleantech applications requires major investments. According to estimates available, the company's financing position continues to be tight until the transition phase has been completed successfully.
Cencorp has commenced preparing a share issue. The objective of the share issue is to finance establishing of photovoltaic module business plan. Cencorp will inform later on the terms and schedule of the share issue. The company is also negotiating different kind of financing arrangements with other investors in order to realize its business plan.
Cencorp agreed with its financers on amendment of the financial agreements and announced on 3 December 2012 that:
- Sampo Pankki Oyj’s financial facility agreement totaling EUR 4 million was continued until the end of June 2013;
- the maturity date of a convertible bond of some EUR 1.2 million from Savcor Group Oy was extended until the end of June 2013; and
- the maturity date of a loan of EUR one million from Savcor Invest BV (former AC Invest BV), a daughter company of Savcor Group Oy, was extended until the end of June 2013.
According to estimates available, the company’s financing position will continue to be tight. According to the opinion of Cencorp management the working capital of the company is not sufficient to complete the ongoing investment plan, based on the company’s strategy, for next twelve (12) months. From the company’s point of view, one of the most important risks is sufficiency of working capital. Cencorp has loans which will be due in following twelve (12) months. Cencorp’s operational conditions will be highly dependent on whether Cencorp manages to rearrange the loans. Therefore the company has, in addition to the above-mentioned measures, started negotiations with its main financiers and owners on measures to strengthen the financing position until the company’s cash flow is expected to return to positive. By these actions Cencorp believes to secure sufficiency of working capital for next twelve (12) months.With these actions Cencorp believes that the company has secured sufficient working capital for the next twelve months and will be able to complete its strategic investments.

The loan period is ten years.
Among other things, the Tekes funding decision is subject to capital investments, amounting totally to EUR 3 million at the minimum, to be made in Cencorp during the period from 20 September 2012 to 30 June 2013. Half of the required investments was already secured on 3 December 2012 as Savcor Group Oy and SCI Invest Oy, a company under the control of Iikka Savisalo, the CEO of Cencorp, subscribed totally 1.5 million Euros of Cencorp's convertible bond which is a capital loan.
RISK MANAGEMENT, RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Cencorp’s Board of Directors is responsible for the control of the company’s accounts and finances. The Board is responsible for internal control, while the President and CEO handles the practical arrangement and monitors the efficiency of internal control. Business management and control are taken care of using a Group-wide reporting and forecasting system.
The purpose of risk management is to ensure that any significant business risks are identified and monitored appropriately. The company’s business and financial risks are managed centrally by the Group’s financial department, and reports on risks are presented to the Board of Directors as necessary.
Due to the small size of the company and its business operations, Cencorp does not have an internal auditing organization or an audit committee.
The sufficiency of the company’s financing and working capital involve risks that are handled in more detail in the item Financing of this financial statement release. Realization of a share issue, which the company announced on 21 August 2012, involves risks. It is not secured that the company will be able to collect capital to finance the establishing of photovoltaic module business plan. If the share issue doesn’t materialize as planned, there is a risk that the establishment of Cencorp’s Cleantech strategy will be postponed or even fail, partly or totally.
As it is difficult to make forecasts in an industry that is dependent on economic cycles, the biggest business risks are related to fluctuations in the demand for products and to the adjustment of operations to meet demand.
In terms of profitability, the most essential risks are related to the achievement of a sufficient invoicing volume in both business segments and the success achieved with the programs underway at Cencorp to improve profitability, such as improvements in productivity and business flexibility through outsourcing production.
In terms of operations, the biggest risks are related to outsourcing in-house equipment production to contract manufacturers, in particular to whether the production chain efficiency targets are achieved as planned.
Cencorp's transition from a company manufacturing only production automation applications and special components into a company that develops and provides Cleantech applications with a strong market position as provider, using laser and automation technology, of locally in different market areas produced, high-quality photovoltaic modules, involves risks. Even though Cencorp's strategy and objectives are based on market knowledge and technical surveys,the risks are significant and it is not certain if the company reaches all or part of the targets set for it. Cencorp's future outlook will be highly dependent on the company's ability to reach the targeted market position in the global photovoltaic module market as well as on the company's long-term financing. Cencorp's goal is to reach strong market position as provider of locally produced high-quality photovoltaic modules.
The execution of the non-binding Memorandum of Understanding signed with Avery Dennison involves risks. The final terms of the transaction are still under negotiations and realization of the acquisition is not yet certain. Additionally, the transaction is still subject to several issues such as due diligence and especially to Cencorp’s short and long-term financing required to run the business being acquired. Thus, Cencorp is not yet able to estimate possible realization, effective date neither acquisition’s influence in Cencorp nor risks relating to the transaction. Cencorp will announce further information on the matter as soon as the negotiations have been finished.
The execution of the non-binding Memorandum of Understanding signed with a major Chinese photovoltaic module manufacturer involves risks. The final terms of an agreement are still under negotiations, thus execution of the agreement is not yet guaranteed. Additionally, the agreement is subject to Cencorp's short-term and long-term financing which is still under negotiation. Thus, Cencorp is not yet able to estimate the agreement's possible execution, effective date neither the agreement's impact in Cencorp nor the final risks relating to it. However, in regard to the Memorandum of Understanding on delivering CBS to the Chinese photovoltaic module manufacturer, the estimated minimum value of EUR 20 million for the next three years will probably stay non-binding even though the actual Memorandum of Understanding turns into a binding supply contract. In this business customers do not give binding order estimations.
The long-term objectives set for the Managing Director involves also risks and the long-term objective should not be considered as the company’s financial guidance. Even though the objectives are based on market knowledge and technical surveys, the risks are significant and it is not certain if the Managing Director reaches all or part of the targets set for him.
The Tekes loan arrangement involves risks. Among other things, the Tekes funding decision is subject to capital investments, amounting totally to 3 million Euros at the minimum, to be made in Cencorp during the period from 20 September 2012 to 30 June 2013. Half of the required investments was already secured on 3 December 2012 as Savcor Group Oy and SCI Invest Oy, a company under the control of Iikka Savisalo, the CEO of Cencorp, subscribed totally 1.5 million Euros of Cencorp's convertible bond which is a capital loan.
Other risks connected to Cencorp have been presented in more detail in the Annual Report for 2011.
