The Stockmann Group's profit on ordinary operations improved by 52 per cent in the second quarter. First-half sales were up 4.4 per cent to EUR 858.5 million (EUR 822.5 million in 2004). Seppälä more than doubled its first-half operating profit to EUR 9.8 million. Hobby Hall and the Department Store Division likewise reported improved operating profits.

The corresponding figure a year earlier, EUR 22.7 million, included EUR 2.3 million of other operating income. The return on capital employed was 16.0 per cent. The earnings estimate for 2005 is unchanged.
IFRS reporting
Stockmann adopted International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) on January 1, 2005. The comparative information used in this Interim Report is the 2004 figures according to IFRS, which were published at the annual level on February 15, 2005, and at the quarterly level on April 18, 2005. The accounting policies presented in the stock exchange release of April 18, 2005, have been observed in this Interim Report. The Interim Report is unaudited.
Sales and result
Stockmann's consolidated sales in the first half of 2005 were EUR 858.5 million, up EUR 36.0 million and 4.4 per cent on same-period sales. Net turnover was EUR 715.0 million, increasing by EUR 30.2 million and likewise by 4.4 per cent on the same period a year ago. International operations accounted for an increased share of consolidated sales, rising from 12 per cent to 16 per cent.
The Group's gross operating margin grew by EUR 18.0 million to EUR 239.7 million. The relative gross margin improved further and was 33.5 per cent (32.4 per cent). The relative gross margin improved on the comparison period in the Seppälä division and weakened slightly in the other divisions. The growth in the Group's relative gross margin was also attributable to the change in the sales mix: the proportion of low-margin Stockmann Auto's sales within consolidated sales decreased from the comparison period. Operating costs were up EUR 10.7 million. Depreciation increased by EUR 1.4 million. Operating profit on ordinary operations improved by EUR 5.9 million, net financial expenses increased by EUR 0.4 million and consolidated profit on ordinary operations before taxes grew by EUR 5.5 million. The growth in earnings was especially strong in the second quarter, when operating profit on ordinary operations before taxes rose by 52 per cent to EUR 24.2 million (EUR 15.9 million in 2004, excluding other operating income).
There was no other operating income in the report period, as against EUR 2.3 million in the comparison period. Consolidated operating profit increased by EUR 3.6 million on the comparison period, to EUR 26.2 million. Owing to the reduction in liquid assets, net financial expenses increased by EUR 0.4 million from the same period a year earlier and amounted to EUR 0.3 million. Profit before taxes rose by EUR 3.2 million to EUR 25.9 million.
Direct taxes were EUR 6.8 million, an increase of EUR 3.7 million on the previous year. The deferred taxes portion of taxes for the comparison period diminished due to the lowering of Finland's corporate tax rate from 29 per cent to 26 per cent from the beginning of 2004. The lowering of the tax rate reduced the deferred tax liability for the comparison period by EUR 2.6 million.
Net profit for the report period was EUR 19.1 million, compared with EUR 19.6 million a year earlier.
Earnings per share were EUR 0.36 (EUR 0.37) and diluted for options they were EUR 0.35 (EUR 0.36). The above-mentioned change in the deferred tax liability improved earnings per share in January-June 2004 by EUR 0.05. Equity per share was EUR 8.14 (EUR 9.05).
Sales and earnings trend by business segment
The Department Store Division's sales grew by 13 per cent to EUR 466.9 million. Sales in Finland were up 6 per cent. Sales by International Operations were boosted principally by the new department stores that were opened in Moscow in April and December 2004, the new Zara stores as well as by good same-store sales growth in all market areas. The Department Store Division's sales outside Finland grew by 46 per cent and their share of the division's sales rose to 24 per cent (18 per cent). The Department Store Division's operating profit increased by EUR 0.9 million to EUR 15.8 million (EUR 14.9 million). It was burdened by the start-up costs for new department stores and other stores abroad. The division's operating profit in the second quarter was EUR 15.2 million, an increase of EUR 3.7 million on the figure a year earlier.
Stockmann Auto's sales fell by 11 per cent to EUR 218.0 million. The division's operating profit was EUR 1.7 million, down EUR 4.0 million on the comparison period (EUR 5.7 million). Profit on ordinary operations decreased by EUR 1.7 million. Operating profit in the comparison period includes EUR 2.3 million of compensation received from the sale of the VW- Audi dealership in Helsinki's Herttoniemi district, which was booked in the second quarter. A major factor behind the drop in both sales and profit on ordinary operations was the transfer of the VW-Audi dealership in Herttoniemi to the importer as from 1 July 2004. Stockmann Auto's operating profit in the second quarter was EUR 1.5 million, representing an increase in operating profit on ordinary operations of EUR 0.2 million.
Hobby Hall's sales, EUR 103.2 million, were on a par with the comparison period (EUR 103.6 million). Sales in Finland diminished by one per cent owing to the cutback in the store network. Finland's distance retailing grew slightly and online sales continued their strong growth. Hobby Hall's sales in the Baltic countries grew by 3 per cent even though distance sales in Lithuania were wound up during the first part of the year. Hobby Hall's operating result increased by EUR 2.5 million to EUR 0.9 million (a loss of EUR 1.6 million). The division reported a second-quarter operating profit of EUR 0.2 million, an improvement of EUR 1.1 million on the figure a year earlier. Hobby Hall's positive earnings trend was due to the efficient carrying through of the programme aimed at improving cost- effectiveness and the gross margin.
Seppälä's sales increased by 13 per cent on the same period of last year and were EUR 69.9 million. Sales grew buoyantly (52 per cent) abroad, where they were lifted by the stores opened in Estonia, Latvia and Russia in 2004 as well as the good trend in like-for-like sales. In Finland too sales grew strongly, registering growth of 8 per cent. Thanks to higher sales and an improved relative gross margin, Seppälä's operating profit rose by a hefty EUR 5.9 million to EUR 9.8 million (EUR 3.9 million). Seppälä's second-quarter operating profit was EUR 8.4 million, or EUR 4.0 million higher than a year ago.
Financing and invested capital
The amount of liquid assets has been lowered as planned. Liquid assets amounted to EUR 14.4 million at the end of the report period, as against EUR 45.7 million a year earlier and EUR 41.4 million at the end of 2004.
Loan repayments were not made during the report period, nor have new long- term loans been drawn down. Interest-bearing liabilities at the end of June were EUR 99.0 million (EUR 67.9 million), of which EUR 15.1 million consisted of long-term liabilities. Share subscriptions made through the exercise of Loyal Customer share options and the options for the year 2000 added EUR 4.2 million to shareholders' equity. Capital expenditures amounted to EUR 22.1 million. Net working capital totalled EUR 233.6 million and decreased by EUR 3.9 million on the comparison period. The equity ratio was 61.3 per cent (67.6 per cent) in the report period. The equity ratio at the end of 2004 was 62.5 per cent.
The Group's capital employed diminished by EUR 12.1 million from June of the previous year and stood at EUR 533.8 million towards the end of the report period (EUR 535.9 million at the end of 2004). Over the past 12 months ROCE improved in line with higher earnings and the decrease in the amount of capital employed and was 16.0 per cent (14.8 per cent at the end of 2004).
New long-term financial targets
According to the Stockmann Board's estimate, in 2005 the Group will achieve the long-term financial targets that were set in 2001: a 15 per cent return on capital employed and an operating profit margin of at least 5 per cent. Accordingly, in June the Board of Directors confirmed the Group's new financial targets up to 2010. The objective is for the Group's return on capital employed to reach 20 per cent in 2010, with an operating profit margin of at least 8 per cent. The target for Group sales is to outpace the market. The equity ratio target has been set at a level of at least 50 per cent. The dividend policy will remain unchanged, the target being to pay dividends of at least 50 per cent of the profit on ordinary operations, nevertheless taking into account the financing required to grow the business.
Organizational changes
On June 17, 2005, Stockmann's Board of Directors appointed Seppälä Oy's managing director, Heikki Väänänen, B.Sc. (Econ.), as director of the Department Store Division and Group executive vice president, effective 1 November 2005. Heikki Väänänen will also act as the alternate to Group CEO Hannu Penttilä. The Department Store Division's present director, Jukka Hienonen, Stockmann's executive vice president, will resign from Stockmann's employ to become president and CEO of Finnair.
On July 11, 2005, Stockmann's Board of Directors appointed the sales director of Stockmann's Helsinki Department Store, Terhi Okkonen, eMBA, as managing director of Seppälä Oy and a member of the Stockmann Group's Management Committee, effective November 1, 2005.
Capital expenditures
Capital expenditures during the report period totalled EUR 22.1 million (EUR 27.9 million).
The biggest capital expenditure for the Department Store Division in 2005 is the department store that is to be opened in leased premises in the new section of the Jumbo Shopping Centre in Vantaa. The department store will have about 11 000 square metres of retail space and it will be opened in October 2005. Stockmann's share of the cost estimate for the project is about EUR 8 million.
A large-scale project for enlargement and modification works on the department store in the centre of Helsinki has got under way. The town plan change required for it was approved by the Helsinki City Council in June. According to the plan, the department store's commercial premises will be expanded by about 10 000 square metres by converting existing premises to commercial use and by building new retail space. In addition, completely new goods handling and maintenance areas will be built for the department store as well as access passages to the new customer car park. After the enlargement the Helsinki department store will have a total of about 50 000 square metres of retail space. The total cost estimate for the project is approximately EUR 115 million. The works are estimated to be completed phase by phase by the end of 2009.
During the latter part of the year the fourth Zara store in Finland will be opened at the Jumbo Shopping Centre in Vantaa and Stockmann Beauty stores will be opened in Jyväskylä and at the Sello Shopping Centre in Espoo. In early 2006, a Stockmann Beauty store will be opened in the Kamppi shopping mall in Helsinki.
The first Bestseller store operating on the franchising principle was opened in February at the Mega North Shopping Centre in Moscow. A further six new Bestseller stores will be opened in Russia during 2005. Apart from Moscow, Bestseller stores will also be opened in Kazan and St Petersburg. The flagship Zara store in Russia was opened in the heart of Moscow at the beginning of June. Russia's fifth and sixth Zara stores will be opened in Moscow in August.
The Department Store Division's capital expenditures came to EUR 17.3 million.
Stockmann Auto's capital expenditures amounted to EUR 2.5 million, of which an outlay of EUR 1.6 million was made on vehicles included in capital assets. Hobby Hall's capital expenditures amounted to EUR 0.6 million.
Seppälä's capital expenditures came to EUR 0.5 million. Seppälä opened its first store in Lithuania in Vilnius at the beginning of April. Seppälä is aiming to open new stores in Moscow and to expand its operations to St Petersburg during 2005. In addition, Seppälä is moving to expand its operations in both Latvia and Lithuania during 2005.
Other capital expenditures in the report period amounted to EUR 1.2 million.
Current projects
In May 2005 Stockmann made an agreement on building a department store and shopping centre on Nevsky Prospekt in the heart of St Petersburg. The approximately 10 000 square metre plot that will be obtained for this purpose is located beside the Vosstaniya Square underground station and in the immediate vicinity of the Moscow Station.
The shopping centre to be erected will have total floor space of at least 45 000 square metres and in addition to the Stockmann department store, it will also feature other retail shops as well as a modern car park.
The department store and shopping centre investment will have a price tag of about EUR 80-110 million, depending on the final floor space to be built. Stockmann will carry out and finance the construction project either independently or in cooperation with suitable investors. Plans call for opening the department store and shopping centre in 2008.

Personnel strength
During the report period the Stockmann Group had an average payroll of 10 067 employees, or 1 042 more than in the comparison period.

At the end of June 2005 the number of staff working abroad was 3 217 people. At the end of June of last year Stockmann had 2 205 people working abroad. The proportion of the total personnel who were working abroad increased from 23 per cent in the comparison period to 31 per cent.
Full-year outlook
Retail sales excluding the motor trade are estimated to increase by about 3 per cent in Finland in 2005. The volume of new vehicle sales is estimated to remain at the previous year's level. The economies of Russia and the Baltic countries are anticipated to continue growing at a faster rate than the Finnish market. The Stockmann Group's sales in 2005 are expected to come in at about EUR 1.85 billion.
The Group's third-quarter earnings are anticipated to improve on the previous year's figure.
The Department Store Division's full-year operating profit is estimated to improve, Hobby Hall's result to move into the black and Seppälä's operating profit to be markedly higher than in the previous year. Stockmann Auto's operating profit will fall significantly short of the figure reported last year. The Group's earnings estimate for the full year is unchanged. Stockmann's target is to post even better earnings in 2005 than in 2004.
