Valmet’s Financial Statements Review 2019| 1 Guidance for 2020 Valmet estimates that net sales in 2020 will increase in comparison with 2019 (EUR 3,547 million) and Comparable EBITA in 2020 will increase in comparison with 2019 (EUR 316 million). Short-term outlook General economic outlook Global growth is projected to rise from an estimated 2.9 percent in 2019 to 3.3 percent in 2020 and 3.4 percent for 2021. Market sentiment has been boosted by tentative signs that manufacturing activity and global trade are bottoming out, a broad-based shift toward accommodative monetary policy, intermittent favorable news on US-China trade negotiations, and diminished fears of a no-deal Brexit. Downside risks, however, remain prominent, including rising geopolitical tensions, notably between the United States and Iran, intensifying social unrest, further worsening of relations between the United States and its trading partners, and deepening economic frictions between other countries. A materialization of these risks could lead to rapidly deteriorating sentiment, causing global growth to fall below the projected baseline. (International Monetary Fund, January 2020) Short-term market outlook Valmet reiterates the good short-term market outlook for services, automation, pulp, and board and paper, and the satisfactory short-term market outlook for energy, and tissue. President and CEO Pasi Laine: Orders received increased and profitability improved in 2019 “In 2019, our orders received increased 7 percent to EUR 4.0 billion. Orders received in the stable business, i.e. the Services and Automation business lines, increased by 10 percent and accounted for 46 percent of total orders. Service orders were supported by the acquisitions of GL&V and J&L, which were finalized during the second quarter. The orders received in Automation increased as well. In the capital business, orders received increased in Pulp and Energy, and remained at last year’s high level in the Paper business line. Valmet’s net sales increased 7 percent in 2019. Net sales increased in the stable business and remained at previous year’s level in the capital business. Comparable EBITA increased 23 percent to EUR 316 million, representing 8.9 percent of net sales. This means that we have been able to improve our profitability six years in a row and every year since the demerger at the end of 2013. Valmet is starting the year 2020 as a strong, continuously developing company. Our orders received, net sales and Comparable EBITA were at a record high level at the end of 2019. Valmet’s technology is world leading, our brand is strong and a professional and highly engaged team of more than 13,000 Valmeteers serves our customers around the world. With the solid order backlog and improved profitability level, we can move into 2020 with confidence.” Valmet’s Financial Statements Review 2019| 2 Key figures1 EUR million Q4/2019 Q4/2018 Change 2019 2018 Change Orders received 1,009 1,026 -2% 3,986 3,722 7% Order backlog2 3,333 2,829 18% 3,333 2,829 18% Net sales 1,103 984 12% 3,547 3,325 7% Comparable earnings before interest, taxes and 118 113 4% 316 257 23% amortization (Comparable EBITA) % of net sales 10.7% 11.5% 8.9% 7.7% Earnings before interest, taxes and amortization 119 110 8% 315 241 31% (EBITA) % of net sales 10.8% 11.2% 8.9% 7.2% Operating profit (EBIT) 110 102 7% 281 211 33% % of net sales 9.9% 10.4% 7.9% 6.4% Profit before taxes 105 100 6% 269 205 32% Profit for the period 81 74 10% 202 152 33% Earnings per share, EUR 0.54 0.49 10% 1.35 1.01 33% Earnings per share, diluted, EUR 0.54 0.49 10% 1.35 1.01 33% Equity per share, EUR2 6.95 6.31 10% 6.95 6.31 10% Cash flow provided by operating activities 182 143 28% 295 284 4% Cash flow after investments 161 119 35% 58 208 -72% Return on equity (ROE) (annualized) 20% 16% Return on capital employed (ROCE) before 23% 19% taxes (annualized) Equity to assets ratio2 41% 43% Gearing2 -9% -23% Valmet implemented IFRS 16 – Leases as of January 1, 2019 by applying the simplified transition method and therefore 2018 figures are not restated. 1 The calculation of key figures is presented on page 46. 2 At the end of period.

  • Leveraged Buyouts, and Mergers & Acquisitions
    Chepakovich valuation model 1 Chepakovich valuation model The Chepakovich valuation model uses the discounted cash flow valuation approach. It was first developed by Alexander Chepakovich in 2000 and perfected in subsequent years. The model was originally designed for valuation of “growth stocks” (ordinary/common shares of companies experiencing high revenue growth rates) and is successfully applied to valuation of high-tech companies, even those that do not generate profit yet. At the same time, it is a general valuation model and can also be applied to no-growth or negative growth companies. In a limiting case, when there is no growth in revenues, the model yields similar (but not the same) valuation result as a regular discounted cash flow to equity model. The key distinguishing feature of the Chepakovich valuation model is separate forecasting of fixed (or quasi-fixed) and variable expenses for the valuated company. The model assumes that fixed expenses will only change at the rate of inflation or other predetermined rate of escalation, while variable expenses are set to be a fixed percentage of revenues (subject to efficiency improvement/degradation in the future – when this can be foreseen). This feature makes possible valuation of start-ups and other high-growth companies on a Example of future financial performance of a currently loss-making but fast-growing fundamental basis, i.e. with company determination of their intrinsic values. Such companies initially have high fixed costs (relative to revenues) and small or negative net income. However, high rate of revenue growth insures that gross profit (defined here as revenues minus variable expenses) will grow rapidly in proportion to fixed expenses.

  • Chapter 1 Introduction
    CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the study Merger and Acquisitions have been increasingly becoming a perfect economic strategy to pace up with the fast-growing economy worldwide. In this space where industrialists and CEOs of concerned companies are interested in profits and expansions, those employed in their companies suffer loss, particularly regarding their own rights to employment. This chapter provides insights as to how increasing competition, strategies for expansion and profit making has led the corporate world to favour Merger and Acquisitions as the most preferable way. 1.2 Increasing competition amongst industries and globalization Every organization today must reinvent itself in order to survive. For this, it might introduce new products in the market, enter into new markets or bring about certain other changes that would ensure its presence in it. No matter, companies keep on trying to gain monopoly of their product in the market. At the same time, it also caters to the profits and loss incurred due to many new entries.3 For instance, the booming rise of Patanjali Ayurveda products endorsed by Baba Ramdev has shaken the Indian markets. Patanjali has a huge range of products ranging from toothpaste, beauty care, body care, sanitation, cereals, to many other household items. Along with that, its criteria of promoting ‗Indian-ness‘ through his products has brought his sales to striking heights. It has been introducing more and more products into the market providing a hard time for others to survive. Patanjali has brought to light the herbal and nature based products. Companies like Emami, Hindustan Unilever Limited, Dabur and Himalaya have been re-inventing their products with a promise of ―herbal age‖4 coming up.

To provide structure and deliver insights Divorce into such a process, we apply the metaphor of a divorce process and use insights from a case study—namely, the Metaphor demerger between Ford Motor Company and Volvo Cars Corporation. Our findings suggest that a demerger process of previously merged/acquired firms can be divided into six phases: disillusionment, erosion, detach- ment, physical separation, mourning, and second adolescence/hard work. The motives for the initial merger or acquisition and the degree of integration are possible factors argued to play a major role in the identified phases during the demerger. 1.
