Marko Saarelainen, President and CEO of Honkarakenne Oyj, in connection with the financial statement release:

“In the last quarter, sales in Finland declined, but sales in Russia saw a year-on-year increase. In addition, the sales trend was positive in Global Markets in the last months of the year. On the whole, net sales in the fourth quarter grew compared with the previous year, and at the end of the review period the order book was also at a higher level than in 2015.

In the last quarter, Honkarakenne continued to make outlays on renewal and training its dealer network: new dealers came on board and we organised product and marketing training for dealers in Europe and Russia.

For both the Finnish and export markets, Honkarakenne unveiled healthy care and school concepts which take the special requirements of public construction into consideration. Healthy House development continued. At the end of 2016, VTT granted Honkarakenne the right to give a Healthy House certificate to a larger delivery package that also includes construction partly done by the customer.

Compared to 2015, the full-year adjusted operating result was negatively impacted by decline in net sales while efficiency-boosting measures had a positive effect. The adjusted result before taxes was also positively impacted by lower financial expenses compared to the previous year.”

FINANCING AND INVESTMENTS

The financial position of the Group was satisfactory at the end of the report period. The equity ratio stood at 41 % (37 %) and net financial liabilities at MEUR 5.0 (MEUR 6.5). In December 2016 the company and its financiers negotiated new financing resolutions for year 2017. Some of the new financing resolutions include covenants relating to EBITDA. MEUR 2.5 of financial liabilities carries EBITDA covenant terms and MEUR 1.3 (MEUR 1.9) of them carried already before 30 per cent equity ratio covenant term.

As part of Honkarakenne’s financial arrangements Honkarakenne’s main owner Saarelainen Oy granted in November Honkarakenne an unsecured junior loan amounting MEUR 0.3. The junior loan is subordinated to bank loans.

PRODUCTS AND MARKETING

In Finland & Baltics, the company made outlays on regional marketing, with more house exhibitions and events at sales offices, and regional sales campaigns were carried out. During the last quarter, the company renewed brand strategy. In the last quarter of the year sales in Finland declined, but detached house sales figures remained good.

In Russia & CIS, the trend in sales was positive in the last months of the year. During the fourth quarter, the company organised product training for the staff of its Russian importer. Although sales in Russia improved towards the end of 2016, cumulative full-year net sales were down 15% on the previous year. It is expected that the Russian market situation will remain difficult.

In Global Markets, the company continued to develop its dealer network and the reorganisation of its sales. For instance, the European functions will be reorganised. Performance in German-speaking Europe and in international projects fell significantly short of the previous year in terms of both sales and net sales.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Research and development focused especially on solutions for healthy public construction and modern architecture. For both the Finnish and export markets, Honkarakenne unveiled healthy care and school concepts which take the special requirements of public construction into consideration.

Honkarakenne Oyj’s earlier ownership of the shares in Honka Management Oy was 47 %.

Sistema Finance S.A. announced on 3 November 2016 that it will make a voluntary public tender offer in cash to purchase all of the issued Series A shares and Series B shares in Honkarakenne Oyj (Series B shares on Nasdaq Helsinki Ltd. HONBS).

Sistema Finance S.A. announced that it would not complete the tender offer in accordance with its terms and conditions, as it was contingent on the acquisition of at least 67 per cent or more of the Series A and Shares B shares in Honka.

When calculating the adjusted operating result and the adjusted result before taxes costs related to the Sistema Finance S.A.’s voluntary public tender offer has been included in adjustment items due to their exceptional character.

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

In the second quarter of 2013, the Board of Directors decided on a long-term share-based incentive plan for members of the Executive Group. The performance period of the new plan began on 1 January 2013 and will end on 31 December 2016. The potential reward for the performance period is based on the cumulative earnings per share (EPS) for 2013 - 2016 and on the average return on capital employed (ROCE) for 2013 - 2016. Any rewards for the performance period 2013 - 2016 will be paid partly as B shares and partly in cash in 2017. The rewards to be paid on the basis of the performance period will correspond to a total maximum of about 340,000 B shares, including the amount to be paid in cash.

The performance period of the share-based incentive plan concluded at the end of 2016 and no rewards will be paid under the plan; the payouts had already been assessed as zero a year ago.

On 31 May 2010, the Board of Directors of Honkarakenne Oyj decided on an Executive Group bonus scheme, with the aim of enabling significant long-term management shareholdings in the company. To this end Honka Management Oy acquired a total of 286,250 B shares in Honkarakenne Oyj in 2010-2011. In December 2016 Honka Management Oy’s shareholders agreed by consensus to dissolve the scheme, with Honkarakenne Oyj acquiring all Honka Management Oy’s shares by purchase from executives involved in the scheme at a unit price of €1. Honkarakenne Oyj’s earlier ownership of the shares in Honka Management Oy was 47 %.

At the end of the report period, the Group held 364,385 of its Honkarakenne B shares with a total purchase price of EUR 1,381,750.23. These shares represent 6.99 % of the company's all shares and 3.34 % of all votes. The purchase cost has been deducted from shareholders' equity in the consolidated financial statements.

On 15 April 2016, the AGM decided that the Board of Directors will be authorised to acquire a maximum of 400,000 of the company’s own B shares with assets included in the company’s unrestricted equity.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Honkarakenne Oyj follows the Limited Liability Companies Act and the Finnish Corporate Governance Code 2015 (effective from 1 Jan 2016) for listed companies issued by the Finnish Securities Market Association. The company’s website, www.honka.com, provides more information on the corporate governance systems.

FORTHCOMING RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Russia is one of Honkarakenne’s major business territories. The sanctions connected to the Ukrainian crisis and strong exchange rate fluctuations currently cause instability in the Russian market. This might have major impacts on Honkarakenne’s operations.

In December 2016 the company and its financiers negotiated new financing resolutions for year 2017. Some of the new financing resolutions include covenants relating to EBITDA. MEUR 2.5 of financial liabilities carries EBITDA covenant terms and MEUR 1.3 (MEUR 1.9) of them carried already before 30 per cent equity ratio covenant term. If the company's sales do not develop well enough, it is possible that the terms of the covenants will be broken during the next year.

The assessment of amounts in the balance sheet is based on current assessment by the management. If these assessments are changed, this may result in changes to the Group's result.

In the financial statements, the deferred tax assets in the balance sheet include an item of MEUR 1.5 related to unused tax losses, of which MEUR 0.5 will expire in 2019 and MEUR 0.7 in 2021-2025. In Honkarakenne’s opinion, these deferred tax assets recognised in the balance sheet can be utilised by using the company’s estimated taxable income, which is based on Honkarakenne’s business plans, including the current efficiency-boosting programme. If earnings do not develop as expected in the long term, it is possible that the tax assets might not be utilised in time and must be impaired. The company did not recognise new deferred tax assets in the balance sheet in 2016.

REPORTING

This report contains statements that relate to the future, and these statements are based on hypotheses that the company's management hold currently as well as 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 financial statement release has been drafted in accordance with IAS 34. The principles adhered to in preparing the annual financial statements 2015 also apply to this financial statement release but new and amended IFRS standards and interpretations effective in 2016 have been applied. Amended standards and interpretations effective from the beginning of year 2016 have no bearing on the figures presented for the report period.

As from half year financial report, 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. For this reason, the term “adjusted” is used instead of previous term “without non-recurring items”. As adjustment items, the company classifies significant business transactions that are considered to affect comparisons between different reporting periods. Such transactions include significant reorganisation expenses, impairment losses or reversals thereof, and capital gains and losses on assets or other significant income or costs of unusual business operations. When calculating the adjusted operating result and the adjusted result before taxes costs related to the Sistema Finance S.A.’s voluntary public tender offer has been included in adjustment items due to their exceptional character.

The figures have not been examined by the auditor.
