STOCKMANN plc INTERIM REPORT 1 JANUARY - 30 JUNE 2009
STOCKMANN'S SALES AND EARNINGS IN THE FIRST SIX MONTHS MEET EXPECTATIONS
The Stockmann Group's second-quarter sales were down by 11 per cent, falling to EUR 519.7 million (EUR 583.9 million). Second-quarter operating profit was EUR 28.6 million (EUR 31.4 million). Sales for January-June declined by 12.7 per cent to EUR 944.5 million (EUR 1 081.5 million). The drop in sales was a result of the general state of the economy, the considerable weakening of certain currencies and the high figures for the first half of 2008 used for comparison, which also included sales from the Smolenskaya department store that ceased operating in May 2008. The Group's operating profit for January-June declined to EUR 6.6 million (EUR 28.8 million). The previous year's operating profit included a non- recurring capital gain of EUR 3.7 million and a provision of EUR 14 million for the closure of the Smolenskaya department store. Net financial expenses fell as expected, to a total of EUR 10.0 million (EUR 24.6 million). The Group's result for the period January-June was EUR -1.8 million (EUR 3.6 million). Earnings per share were EUR -0.03 (EUR 0.06).

SALES AND RESULT
The Stockmann Group's January-June sales were down by 12.7 per cent, to EUR 944.5 million (EUR 1 081.5 million). The significant drop in sales was a result of the transformed state of the economy, the considerable weakening of the Swedish krona, the Norwegian krone and the Russian rouble, and the high figures for the first half of 2008 used for comparison, which also included sales from the Smolenskaya department store that ceased operating in May 2008.
January-June sales in Finland were down by 9.5 per cent to EUR 523.4 million. The Group's sales abroad totalled EUR 421.1 million, a decline of 16.3 per cent. Without the change in currency exchange rates the Group's sales abroad would have decreased by 5 per cent. Sales abroad accounted for 44.6 per cent (46.5 per cent) of the Group's sales.
Gains on the sale of shares generated EUR 0.3 million in other operating income during January-June(EUR 3.7 million). The second-quarter result for 2008 was burdened by a provision of EUR 14 million due to the closure of the Smolenskaya department store.
The Group's gross operating margin decreased by EUR 57.6 million, to EUR 365.6 million. The relative gross margin was 46.7 per cent (47.2 per cent). Lindex's relative gross margin improved, whereas that of the Department Store Division, Hobby Hall and Seppälä decreased. The Group's stock level fell by EUR 15 million to EUR 216.6 million. Operating costs decreased by EUR 34.1 million and depreciation by EUR 4.7 million. The company succeeded in meeting its original cost-savings target for the whole year, amounting to EUR 28 million, during the first six months. Efficiency measures aimed at achieving cost-savings will be continued.
Consolidated operating profit for the report period amounted to EUR 6.6 million, a year-on-year decline of EUR 22.3 million.
Net financial expenses decreased by EUR 14.6 million, to EUR 10.0 million (EUR 24.6 million).
Profit before taxes for the period was EUR -3.4 million, or EUR 7.7 million less than a year earlier. Taxes for January-June totalled EUR 1.6 million, which includes an estimated tax accrual ofEUR 0.7 million recorded in the period. The tax effect on earnings was EUR 2.3 million less than a year earlier.
Second-quarter profit was up, amounting to EUR 22.0 million (EUR 15.2 million).
Earnings per share for January-June were EUR -0.03 (EUR 0.06) and, diluted for options, EUR -0.03 (EUR 0.06). Equity per share was EUR 10.54 (EUR 10.73).
SALES AND EARNINGS TREND BY BUSINESS SEGMENT
Department Store Division
The Department Store Division's sales were down by 15.6 per cent to EUR 491.5 million. Sales in Finland fell by 11.7 per cent. International sales decreased by 24.8 per cent, and their share of the division's sales was 26.4 per cent (29.6 per cent). In addition to the transformed state of the economy, the decline in the Department Store Division's sales was a result of the considerable weakening of the Russian rouble and the very high figures for the first half of 2008 used for comparison, which included sales from the Smolenskaya department store that ceased operating in May 2008 and the vigorous sales growth in the Baltic department stores during the first half of 2008. The rouble-denominated same-store sales by the department stores in Russia were on a par with the previous year's figures. The relative gross margin for January-June 2009 declined. The Department Store Division's operating profit was down by EUR 10.9 million, to EUR -5.3 million (EUR 5.6 million).
Second-quarter sales were down by 12.9 per cent to EUR 267.0 million. Operating profit amounted to EUR 9.2 million, compared with EUR 4.1 million in the same period a year earlier. The figure for 2008 included EUR 14 million in expenses for the closure of the Smolenskaya department store.
Lindex
Lindex's sales in January-June were EUR 292.2 million, down by 9.3 per cent on the same period the previous year (EUR 322.1 million). Sales in Finland grew by 0.9 per cent, but in other countries sales declined by 10.6 per cent. The decrease in sales can be attributed to the considerable weakening of the Swedish krona and the Norwegian krone. Calculated in local currencies, Lindex's sales grew by 2 per cent. The relative gross margin improved. Lindex's operating profit for January-June was EUR 19.9 million (EUR 22.6 million). Lindex was able to increase its market share in all the main markets.
Second-quarter sales were down by 7.7 per cent to EUR 169.6 million. Calculated in local currencies, Lindex's sales grew by 3 per cent. Operating profit decreased, amounting to EUR 19.7 million, compared with EUR 23.8 million in the same period a year earlier. The weakening of the Swedish krona against the euro reduced second-quarter operating profit by an estimated EUR 3.3 million.
Hobby Hall
Hobby Hall's sales in January-June decreased by 13.1 per cent to EUR 83.2 million (EUR 95.8 million). Sales declined by 7.5 per cent in Finland and 37.6 per cent abroad, and Hobby Hall's relative gross margin also fell. Sales decreased significantly especially in Estonia and Latvia. Hobby Hall's operating result decreased to EUR -2.6 (EUR -1.4 million). Hobby Hall has decided to withdraw from the unprofitable Baltic market by the end of August.
In the second quarter, Hobby Hall's sales were down by 16.9 per cent to EUR 40.2 million. The operating result amounted to EUR -0.8 million, compared with EUR 0.7 million in the same period a year earlier.
Seppälä
Seppälä's sales in January-June were down by 4.2 per cent on the same period the previous year, totalling EUR 77.5 million (EUR 80.9 million). Sales in Finland fell by 2.1 per cent. Sales abroad were down by 8.4 per cent and accounted for 31.8 per cent (33.3 per cent) of Seppälä's total sales. Measured in roubles, sales in Russia grew by 20 per cent, while sales in the Baltic countries decreased substantially due to the economic downturn. The large discounts given on products in the Baltic countries decreased Seppälä's relative gross margin. Fixed costs and depreciation increased due to the company's rapid expansion. Seppälä's operating profit decreased by EUR 4.2 million, to EUR 0.2 million (EUR 4.5 million).
In the second quarter, Seppälä's sales were down by 5.2 per cent to EUR 42.9 million. Operating profit amounted to EUR 3.0 million, compared with EUR 5.1 million in the same period a year earlier.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURE
Capital expenditure during January-June totalled EUR 74.4 million (EUR 76.5 million).
Department Store Division
On 13 February 2009, Stockmann opened a new department store in leased premises in the Metropolis shopping centre near Moscow city centre. Stockmann's capital expenditure on the new department store, which has a total area of about 8 000 square metres, is EUR 14.2 million, of which EUR 2.8 million was employed during the report period. The department store's operations have started well.
A major enlargement and transformation project is under way at the department store in the centre of Helsinki. The project involves expanding the department store's commercial premises by about 10 000 square metres by converting existing premises to commercial use and by building new retail space. In addition to this, the project has involved construction of new goods handling, servicing and customer parking areas. After the enlargement, the Helsinki department store will have a total of about 50 000 square metres of retail space. The estimated costs of the enlargement part of the project are about EUR 250 million, in addition to which significant repair and renovation work has been and will be carried out in the old property in the course of the project. The new premises are being opened in stages. In March 2009, new restaurant areas were opened on the 8th floor of the department store, as well as the Beauty World on the 7th floor and new underground goods handling areas. The new car park was opened in May and additional retail space will be opened later in 2009. The project is expected to be completed in phases up to the end of 2010. During the first six months of 2009, the project required an investment of about EUR 26.2 million.
In 2006, Stockmann purchased a commercial plot of approximately 10 000 square metres on Nevsky Prospect, St Petersburg's high street. The plot is located next to the Vosstaniya Square metro station and in the immediate vicinity of the Moscow railway station. Stockmann's Nevsky Centre shopping centre is being built on this plot and will have about 100 000 square metres of gross floor space, of which about 50 000 square metres will be for stores and offices. A Stockmann department store with about 20 000 square metres of retail space has been planned for the shopping centre, along with other retail stores, office premises and an underground car park. The total investment is estimated at about EUR 185 million. The construction work for the project is under way, with the building expected to be completed during the summer of 2010 and commercial operations to start by the end of 2010. The leasing of premises to external operators is proceeding as planned. During the first six months of 2009, the project required an investment of about EUR 23.4 million.
A new Stockmann Beauty store was opened in Finland during January-June. In Russia, two Bestseller stores were closed.
The Department Store Division's capital expenditure totalled EUR 60.2 million.
Lindex
During January-June, Lindex opened three stores each in Finland, Sweden and Russia, two stores in Lithuania and one each in Latvia and the Czech Republic. One store in Finland was closed.
The company's franchising partner opened two new Lindex stores in Saudi Arabia.
Lindex's capital expenditure totalled EUR 10.4 million.
Hobby Hall
Hobby Hall's redesigned online store was opened in July.
Hobby Hall's capital expenditure totalled EUR 1.0 million.
Seppälä
During January-June, Seppälä opened two stores each in Finland, Russia and Latvia and one each in Lithuania and Ukraine. Two stores in Finland and one in Russia were closed. Three stores in Finland were moved to new premises.
Seppälä's capital expenditure totalled EUR 2.7 million.
Other capital expenditure
The Group's other capital expenditure came to EUR 0.1 million.
NEW PROJECTS
Department Store Division
The Department Store Division has preliminary agreements for the opening of department stores in leased premises that are being or will be built in the Russian city of Ekaterinburg and in north Moscow. The preliminary agreement concerning the Ekaterinburg department store has been modified so that, initially, chain stores of the Stockmann Group will be opened in the leased premises, with the objective of opening a full-scale department store there, as stated in the original plans, in 2011. Owing to the economic downturn, the implementation and timetable of the project for a department store in north Moscow are being reassessed. The preliminary agreement for opening a department store in Vilnius, the Lithuanian capital, has been cancelled.
Lindex
Lindex is pressing on with its expansion, expecting to open about 15 new stores during the latter part of the year. Slovakia will become the newest market area for Lindex and the entire Stockmann Group, with Lindex launching two stores there in the autumn. The number of franchising stores in the Middle East is set to increase by around six.
Modernization of the Finnish stores was started in 2009.
Hobby Hall
Hobby Hall will cease its operations in the Baltic countries in stages by the end of August. The discontinuation of the unprofitable Baltic operations comes as a part of the ongoing measures to revitalise Hobby Hall's financial situation. Hobby Hall has decided to close its Hämeentie store in Helsinki by the end of the year. Integration with the Department Store Division is proceeding according to plan, the objective being that Hobby Hall will be an integral part of the Department Store Division as from the start of 2010.
Seppälä
Seppälä plans to open around 5 new stores by the end of 2009.
SHARES AND SHARE CAPITAL
The company's market capitalization at the end of June was EUR 935.6 million (EUR 1 511.4 million). At the end of 2008 the corresponding figure was EUR 611.6 million.
During January-June, the Stockmann shares outperformed both the OMX Helsinki index and the OMX Helsinki Cap index. At the end of June, the stock exchange price of the Series A shares was EUR 15.22, compared with EUR 10.10 at the end of 2008, and the Series B shares were selling at EUR 15.12, as against EUR 9.77 at the end of 2008.
In 2007, the Annual General Meeting authorized the Board of Directors to decide on the transfer, in one or more lots, of the Series B shares held by the company; the authorization was valid for a period of five years. On 3 June 2009, Stockmann sold the 336 528 Series B shares in its possession in public trading arranged by NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd to investors procured by a securities broker, as part of the aforementioned programme to release capital. Following this transaction, the company no longer holds any Stockmann shares. Stockmann's Board of Directors has no valid authorization to purchase Stockmann shares.
On 30 June 2009, the number of Stockmann Series A shares totalled 26 582 049 and Series B shares 35 121 287.
PERSONNEL
The personnel planning carried out at the start of the year was continued throughout the period January-June, with the available working hours being optimized to correspond to customer flows. The Group's average number of personnel fell by 967, to a total of 14 670. Stockmann's average number of employees, calculated as full-time equivalents, decreased by 755, to 11 056.
The Group's personnel expenses amounted to EUR 162.2 million, compared with EUR 175.3 million a year earlier. Personnel expenses accounted for higher proportion of revenue, at 20.7 per cent (19.5 per cent).
At the end of June 2009, Stockmann had 7 899 employees working abroad. The corresponding figure a year earlier was 8 313 employees. The proportion of employees working abroad was 55 per cent (53 per cent) of the total personnel.
RISK FACTORS
No change has occurred in the risk factors since the publication on 13 February 2009 of the review presented in the Board Report on Operations. Particular risks in the short term concern the impact of the economic downturn on consumer shopping habits in Stockmann's market areas, and the legal proceedings that are still in progress.
AB Lindex (publ) has claimed through legal proceedings to be eligible to deduct in Swedish taxation the losses of approximately EUR 70 million incurred by Lindex Group's German subsidiary. Gothenburg's Administrative Court of Appeal overturned the favourable decisions that AB Lindex had received in the County Administrative Court, and as a consequence AB Lindex was obliged to refund to the tax authorities approximately EUR 23.8 million in taxes and interest. The taxes that were refunded had no effect on the profit of the Stockmann Group, because Stockmann recorded the refunded amount of tax and interest as a reduction in Lindex's equity in the acquisition cost calculation. AB Lindex appealed against the decision of the Administrative Court of Appeal to the Supreme Administrative Court of Sweden, which, in summer 2009, decided not to review the case. Further measures of the company in this case depend on the result of the legal process described below concerning the elimination of double taxation between AB Lindex and Lindex GmbH.
AB Lindex (publ) and its German subsidiary, Lindex GmbH, have requested the German and Swedish competent authorities to eliminate the double taxation arising from intra-Group transactions in the fiscal years 1997- 2004 on the basis of the Tax Treaty between Germany and Sweden and the EC Arbitration Convention. The double taxation results from the presumptive income tax payable by Lindex GmbH, which meant that a total of EUR 94 million was added to the taxable income of Lindex GmbH. Depending on the decision of the authorities, AB Lindex may receive a partial or full refund of the taxes paid on the said amount of income, i.e. approximately EUR 26 million. The tax effect of the claim has not been recorded in the income statement.
In 2008, Stockmann initiated legal proceedings against the lessors of the Smolenskaya department store in the International Commercial Arbitration Court (ICAC) in Moscow, claiming damages of about USD 75 million due to the unlawful closure of the department store. In its decision on 14 April 2009, the court of arbitration ruled in favour of Stockmann, though reducing the amount of damages awarded to about USD 7 million, and ordered the lessors to reimburse Stockmann for the legal expenses incurred. The Stockmann Group has not recorded this damages compensation sum in the income statement. In order for the ruling to be enforced, it has to be confirmed by a Russian court of general jurisdiction. In July 2009, the lessors filed a claim with the court of first instance in Moscow, demanding that the court overturn the decision of the International Commercial Arbitration Court.
OUTLOOK FOR THE REMAINDER OF 2009
The economic downturn has swept rapidly and powerfully through the global economy. Consumer demand has weakened in all of Stockmann's market areas, and it remains difficult to forecast the future trend in consumer demand. However, there have been some positive signs in consumer confidence in the Nordic market.
It is clear that the economies in all of Stockmann's market areas will post negative growth in 2009, especially those of the Baltic countries. In Russia, the trend in the economy is to a large extent dependent on the price of energy.
In the third quarter of 2009, sales figures will be below those of a year earlier, because of the continuing weak economy and consumer uncertainty. The decline in sales is expected to slow down in year-on-year terms, because of the already weakened comparison figures for the last six months of 2008. Third-quarter operating profit is expected to be lower than a year earlier. According to current estimates it is possible that in the fourth quarter the Group will come close to reaching the previous year's sales figures and operating profit. Sales and operating profit for the whole year will be lower than in 2008.
Stockmann will continue the measures initiated earlier for adapting to the lower level of demand. Financial expenses will be distinctly lower than in 2008. The objective is a positive cash flow after net capital expenditure.
