5 The Board s Review Operations during the financial year Hartela Group completed its 69th year of operations in 2011. The Group s turnover grew significantly and the Group s equity ratio continued to strengthen. The Group companies building, electrical and mechanical contracting remained focused on established operating areas in the Helsinki Metropolitan Area and the Lahti, Porvoo, Turku, Rauma, Tampere and Oulu regions. As before, foreign operations were conducted through subsidiaries in Russia. The Group s outstanding work decreased but still remained at a good level. Operating profit declined due to individual economically unsuccessful projects and the fact that significant on-going developer-driven projects will only be entered in the profit and loss account this and the following year as they are sold. Housing construction was subject to growth in 2011 at Hartela. It was a record year in the sales of apartments, and the total sales value of apartments was more than EUR 90 million. Also a record number of rental apartments was completed. Despite the increase in cost levels, the profitability of housing construction stayed good. The number of completed apartments on sale decreased to the lowest level in years. Office and commercial premises under construction were at a high level, but fewer construction projects were commenced, forecasting a lower production rate in 2012. The building contracting market remained very competitive and its share of outstanding work was reduced significantly. The Building Services subsidiaries were focused on Southern and Southwest Finland and the Tampere region. The market continues to be very tight in building services, but the result was still reasonable despite the increased volume. Turnover and financial performance The parent company financial statements and the consolidated financial statements have been drawn up on the percentage-ofcompletion principle; construction projects are thus entered in the profit and loss account on the basis of their degree of completion. The consolidated turnover was EUR 403 million (293 million in 2010). The Group s profitability decreased. Its operating profit was 1.5% (4.7%) and equity ratio was 47.4% (45.8%). Besides the parent company, Rakennusosakeyhtiö Hartela, the key subsidiaries turnover was as follows: Hartela Oy, EUR 150 million; Hartela Kiinteistömarkkinointi Oy, EUR 52 million; Hartela Kiinteistömyynti Oy, EUR 39 million; Hartela-Forum Oy, EUR 26 million; and the Hartela Building Services subgroup, EUR 46 million. The Group s financial position remained very good, and the Group s net cash flow showed a surplus of EUR 11 million. Production and order books In the year under review, the volume of domestic production completed by Rakennusosakeyhtiö Hartela, Hartela Oy and Hartela-Forum Oy amounted to 0.638 million m 3, of which 48% was housing, 52% commercial and industrial construction and 0% public construction. A total of 1,045 residential homes were completed. At the end of the financial year, approximately 1,400 apartments were under construction. A total of 37 completed homes remained unsold at the end of the year. At year-end, the volume of orders not yet invoiced stood at EUR 306 million. Administrative bodies Maarit Hartela-Varkki chaired the Board of Directors of the parent company, with Heikki Hartela, Hanna Kuusniemi and Lasse Johansson as regular Board members. Lasse Johansson was the Group s Managing Director. The auditors were Authorised Public Accountants KPMG Oy Ab, with Mikko Haavisto, APA, as auditor-in-charge. Outlook for the current financial period We estimate the turnover of 2012 to be approximately EUR 350 million. We expect profitability to grow clearly. In summer 2011, Hartela started restructuring the Group with the purpose of enabling growth both organically and through acquisitions. The restructuring centralises all financial operations, capital management and the development function of the Group in such a way that all Group companies have centralised access to services. Hartela s strong financial standing and long-term project development allow the Group to maintain its planned developerdriven projects regardless of the economic cycle, thereby also safeguarding the position of our staff in the future. We would like to extend a warm thank you to our customers and partners for the confidence they have shown in our activities, and to the entire Group staff for their outstanding contribution to building our common future.

11 Building operations The building cycle turned in Finland in summer 2011, shifting the growth that continued through the previous winter into a slight decline. The rising of cost levels that started already in 2010 and capacity issues caused problems for the entire building industry. The effects of the rising cost levels were emphasised in subcontracting with a cost increase exceeding the indices. The number of commenced construction projects was reduced in the autumn with the new culmination of the global financial market crisis. On the other hand, as expectations on the interest level turned to a decline again, the market-financed housing market remained relatively active also in the autumn. Apartment sales were very active at Hartela in spring 2011, with a steep decrease at the beginning of the autumn, then continuing steadily at the lower level for the remainder of the year. This meant that new constructions could be commenced as planned. The development in apartment sales at the beginning of 2012 follows a more stable trend, and we will also be commencing almost the normal number of new projects this year. Cost management in housing production was quite successful, mainly because in the case of housing production, construction timetables can be determined before starting construction, taking the economic cycle and capacity into account better than in the construction of office and commercial premises. The maximum number of apartments under construction was 1,700 all around Finland, and even at the end of the year, the number was 1,400. Almost all of them were based on our plot assets and plans. An unusually low number of completed market-financed homes remained for sale at the end of the year, only 37. The sales rates of sites under construction were also good. Hartela had more than the usual number of office and commercial premises under construction in various parts of Finland. The number of new sites commenced in the autumn was significantly lower than usual, however, as the threat of economic recession grew in Finland. The management of costs and especially planning were not successful in all of our office and commercial premises projects, leading to a significant drop in profitability. The most relevant goal for the customers i.e. the timely commissioning of buildings was, however, successfully ensured. Investor interest towards good sites remained solid last year, and all locations intended for sale were sold to final investors as planned. The outlook for new office and business premises is poorer than before 2012 with the exception of trade premises. The market of competitive tender contracting was tight last year in all municipalities where we operate, and the number of locations was markedly reduced. Public administration savings are likely to mean that the number of new projects this year will decrease rather than increase, and we are not expecting a better market situation for these projects. The total construction volume at Hartela will decrease slightly in 2012. We do, however, expect an improved profitability as the last year s decrease in profitability was mainly caused by individual projects. The number of projects available to constructors from public officials will decrease because of economic goals, especially in the field of new construction. The outlook in housing construction is still the most positive one, as no general excess supply or decrease of demand is in sight in the market. Despite the recovery of other forms of investment, investor interest in both commercial and housing locations seems to remain steady even in this economic cycle. There also seem to be no marked changes in the profitability requirements of investors, meaning that a lack of interest from final investors should not prevent commencing good projects. For several years already, Hartela s construction operations have been based on our plots and the housing and commercial construction projects developed based on them, as well as a cost-efficient implementation. Our established presence in the nationally most important regions for construction and our own permanent staff allow us to continue along these lines regardless of the economic cycle. 2 We are implementing the refurbishment of the old Art Factory and an extensive new construction project consisting of office and business premises, parking garages and housing in the Porvoo Art Factory area.
12 3 4 3 The Logomo Hall, also used as the main stage of the European Capital of Culture year 2011, is part of phase 1 of the project. When completed, Logomo will be used as a centre for creative arts in Turku, offering premises for both office use and events. 4 Haarla s 61-apartment service home in Hirvensalo, Turku, is another example of our extensive service home production all over Finland. 5 5 K-Citymarket Länsikeskus in Turku underwent an extensive refurbishment and a small extension. Turun Valo ja Voima, part of Hartela Building Services, was responsible for electrical contracting. The store stayed open throughout the project. 6 The Liminka library represents elegant and functional contemporary architecture. 6

24 Building Services Housing construction increased in the year under review, and the development of building services follows this demand. New construction and renovation of existing buildings are at equal volumes. At the beginning of the year, the number of building permits for housing production as well as office and business premises also increased. However, the number of building permits declined steeply towards the end of the year. The turnover of Hartela Building Services Group increased by 21% compared with the previous year. Growth was achieved in the domestic market, while the Russian operations that had been successful in the previous year came to a standstill. The price level remained very tight in the domestic market, especially because of the strong attempts at growth by the biggest operators in the field, which unsettled the balance of supply and demand. Also the whole-year arbitration proceedings of Saipu Oy with regard to an extensive Russian project had a negative influence on the development of operations, turnover and profitability. This especially tied up clerical employee resources in exports. No decision on the proceedings has been received at this time. The result before extraordinary items and taxes of the Building Services Group, in which Saipu Oy, HT-Sähköpalvelu Oy and Turun Valo ja Voima Oy are responsible for operations, was 2.6% of turnover. Of the locations completed in the year under review, the main stage of Turku s European Capital of Culture year, Logomo, received a great deal of positive attention. Phase 1 and 2 operations of the renovation were implemented as an overall delivery by Hartela, also including the planning and implementation of building services. We were responsible for the renovation of the AC systems in the refurbishment of the Sunni and Kiseleff houses in Helsinki s Empire centre into a modern shopping centre. In the construction of Tallink s new head office, we were responsible for the implementation of electrical systems. In the Vihola shopping centre at Nokia, constructed by Hartela for Tokmanni, we took care of all building services. In the Luhta Center logistics centre in Lahti, we implemented the HVAC and sprinkler systems, and in the construction of the Karisma hypermarket, we took care of electrical installations. The amount of housing production was high in the year under review, especially in Turku. Our volume of orders at the end of the year was one third higher than in the previous year. Although we started fewer new sites at the end of 2011, we expect an increase in the turnover. There is need for construction, but the uncertainty of the economy slows down the decision-making required for starting projects. The focal point is likely to continue to shift from new construction to renovations. At the end of the year, the most significant on-going project was the HVAC installations in the refurbishment of HUS Meilahti Hospital s patient building. The AC installations for phase 2 of building G3 (T building) of the Turku University Central Hospital in Turku, on the other hand, are already completed. The third hospital project under construction is the renovation and extension of the Malmi Hospital in Helsinki, where we take care of heating and water installations. The construction of the Jätkäsaari district in Helsinki has commenced. Hartela was among the first constructors in the area, implementing the already completed Tallink head office and currently building a large store, storage and office building for Verkkokauppa.com, where Building Services are responsible for electrical building services. The Itella logistics centre being built in Pennala is a mega-class project in terms of volume. We implement all building services in the project. In the renovations of Citymarket Länsikeskus in Turku and in the Myyrmanni Shopping Centre in Vantaa, we install electrical systems in a demanding project as the stores remain open. In the Swing Plus C office building in Espoo, we are responsible for the HVAC contract, and in the construction of the A and C blocks (Ruokakesko) of the Veturi Shopping Centre in Kuusankoski, we take care of heating and water installations. We are also currently working on a large number of building services implementations in housing projects. In the year under review, there were a total of 282 people employed by Hartela Building Services Group. 1 2 The new lighting of the Hämeenkoski school is the part most visible to users of the renovated electrical systems installed by HT-Sähköpalvelu in this location. In Bulevardi 16, the decorative ceiling paintings were restored to their past century glory in the Diakoniasali hall of this valuable building owned by the churches of Helsinki. Saipu completed the heating and water installations in the project.
