Company description
HLRE Holding Group (commonly known as Vesivek Group) is a leading provider of roof and roof product renovations offered primarily to detached and row houses in Finland and Sweden under the brand name Vesivek. In addition to roof and roof product installations, Vesivek provides underground drain renovations in eight locations in Finland. The Group also develops, manufactures, and sells high quality rainwater systems and roof safety products.
HLRE Holding Group operated in 14 locations in Finland and three locations in Sweden in July 2023 and employs around 800 employees currently on average. The Group has two in-house manufacturing facilities in Finland, steel roofing profile production in Pirkkala and manufacture of rainwater systems and roof safety products in Orimattila.
 
Management Overview of the second quarter
Q2 financial performance in roof and rainwater systems installation and underground drain renovation business in Finland and roof renovation in Sweden was below forecasted. Low sales volumes in general and short order backlog in both Finland and Sweden led to inefficiency in installations and to weaker profitability.
 HLRE Group Ltd and Vesivek Ltd issued a change negotiation initiative on 10th of May 2023. The negotiations concerned all employees of HLRE Group Ltd (excluding payroll personnel) and salaried employees of Vesivek Ltd (joint functions, unit management, sales personnel, profile production and workshop repair unit, excluding B2B sales personnel and site installation managers). Further, Oulu/Tornio, Nurmijärvi/Lohja, Kerava/Orimattila units were excluded. The purpose of the change negotiations was to discuss the adaptation and reorganization of the operations of HLRE Group Ltd. and Vesivek Ltd. to better reflect the economic situation and weakened demand.
Negotiations were concluded at the end of May 2023. The decisions that were made based on the negotiations led to the dismissal of 5 people and the lay-offs of 18 people.
Group decided on May 2023 to close down the Oulu branch office in Tornio.  The effect on personnel reduction was about 10 people from the end of July.
 
Second quarter April 2023 – July 2023
Q2 revenue decreased by 19 % to EUR 26,5 Million (32,8 Million). Low sales volumes and short order backlog in roof installations in both Finland and Sweden and underground drain renovations in Finland led to inefficiency in installations and to weaker profitability. Gross profit was EUR 11,1 million (11,9 Million) in Q22023.
Q2 reported EBITDA was EUR 1,3 Million (1,6 Million) and adjusted EBITDA EUR 1,4 Million (1,9 Million). Reported adjustments totaled to EUR 0,15 Million including one-offs regarding restructuring costs in the businesses in Finland of EUR 0,1 Million and other non-recurring costs of EUR 0,05 Million. Impact of the adjustments to the operating cashflow in Q2 amounted to EUR 0,15 Million (EUR 0,3 Million).
Q2 net cash from operating activities was EUR 0,6 Million (-0,2 Million) mainly resulting from more effective management of working capital.  

First half 2023
H1 revenue decreased by 14% to EUR 52,4 EUR Million (EUR 60,7 Million). H1 gross profit decreased to EUR 20,9 million (EUR 23,2 Million). H1 reported EBITDA decreased to EUR 1,3 Million (3,1 Million) and adjusted EBITDA to EUR 2,3 Million (3,6 Million). Reported adjustments totaled to EUR 1,0 Million including one-offs regarding restructuring costs in the businesses in Finland of EUR 0,7 Million and other non-recurring costs of EUR 0,3 Million. Impact of the adjustments to the operating cashflow in Q2 amounted to EUR 0,75 Million (EUR 0,5 Million).
H1 net cash from operating activities was EUR 2,0 Million (-2,2 Million) thanks to continued effective management of working capital. Also, some sale of own fleet had positive effect on cash situation during the Q2 (0,3 M€).

Risks and uncertainties
The Group’s revenues and operating profit are affected by general economic conditions, which are, in turn, influenced by many factors beyond the Group’s control. The Group currently operates in Finland and Sweden. Currently, the majority of the Group’s operations are located in Finland but growth in both markets, for example, by way of increasing market share and/or expanding the Group’s product and service offering is an important factor in fulfilling the Group’s strategic objectives. Respectively, the Group’s revenue and operating profit are particularly susceptible to general economic conditions and perception of future general economic conditions in the Finnish and Swedish markets.
Uncertainty or adverse trends in general economic conditions could affect the Group’s business and demand for the Group’s products and services through, inter alia, affecting consumer confidence as well as through adverse impacts on the business activities of the Group’s corporate clients purchasing the Group’s rainwater systems and roof safety products. Importantly, the general economic conditions may adversely affect the level and cost of financing available to the Group’s consumer and corporate clients to make investments in renovations and refurbishments. Moreover, increases in the costs of financing and decreases in the level of available financing may adversely affect the Group’s ability to make investments and fulfil its strategic objectives and may have a material adverse effect on the Group’s business, financial position and results. Through its manufacturing operations, the Group is furthermore exposed to the risk of fluctuations in certain commodity prices (such as steel, aluminium and wood) and energy prices (especially through fuel costs for vehicles) and increases in prices due to economic disruptions and changes in general market conditions may have an adverse effect on the Group’s business, financial position and results. All of the factors mentioned above could harm the Group’s operations and the Group cannot predict the ways in which the future economic environment and market conditions may affect the Group’s operations.
In general, the frequency of accidents at construction sites is worth noticing and the Group operates in a business segment subject to extensive laws and regulations regarding the work environment. Despite required health and safety measures and, for example, the use of scaffoldings on its construction sites improving the safety of the personnel, the Group is exposed to the risk of, possibly even fatal, accidents at the workplace especially on its roof renovation sites but also at its manufacturing facilities. In addition to physical injuries, employees of the Group are exposed to risks related to hazardous substances as certain of the Groups renovation sites contain asbestos. Respectively, the Group must also comply with specific environmental regulations with respect to asbestos. Finnish legislation includes particularly stringent requirements for any activities involving asbestos and the safety requirements for such activities. Any failure to comply with the regulations concerning health and safety or asbestos related activities may result in liability for the Group and/or the Group’s permit being revoked. For example, if Group’s permit to handle asbestos would be revoked, the Group would need to stop all business activities relating to handling of asbestos and acquire the work through subcontractors. Moreover, all potential accidents and health impacts have an adverse effect on its personnel’s well-being. The Group as an employer is exposed to the risks related to health and safety issues of its employees possibly resulting in reduced working capacity of employees.
The Group may, in the future, become in breach of financial covenants and other obligations in its financing agreements that constitute grounds for termination or acceleration. A failure by the Group to obtain necessary capital in the future, or obtaining financing on less favourable terms, may have an adverse effect on the Group’s business, financial position and results. The Group issued a three-year senior secured bond in an amount of SEK 300 million (approximately EUR 28-30 million) in February 2021 including EUR 2 million Super Senior RCF maturing 6 months prior to the bond termination date.  A failure by the Group to refinance the bond and the SSRCF, or obtaining financing on substantially less favourable terms, have an adverse effect on the Group’s business, financial position and results.

Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements
1. Reporting entity
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the financial statements of a group of companies comprised of HLRE Holding Oyj (formerly HLRE Holding Oy), a Finnish public limited liability company operating under the laws of Finland with business ID 2611405-7 (hereinafter referred to as “HLRE Holding”, “the Company” or “the parent company”) and its subsidiaries, which are jointly referred to as “HLRE”, “HLRE Group” or “the Group”. The parent company of the Group is domiciled in Pirkkala, and its registered address is Jasperintie 273, FI-33960 Pirkkala, Finland.
HLRE Group (commonly known as Vesivek Group) is a leading provider of roof and roof product renovations offered primarily to detached and row houses in Finland and Sweden under the brand name Vesivek. In addition to roof and roof product installations, Vesivek provides underground drain renovations in eight locations in Finland. The Group also develops, manufactures, and sells high quality rainwater systems and roof safety products.

This condensed interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended 31 January 2023, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information required for a complete set of financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS and accordingly, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group’s financial position and performance since the last annual financial statements. The accounting policies applied are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended 31 January 2023.
The consolidated financial statements are presented as thousands of euros, unless otherwise specified, and the numbers are rounded off to the nearest thousand. Because of this, the sum of individual figures can deviate from the reported total.
This condensed interim report has not been reviewed by the Company’s auditors.
 
3. Seasonality of operations
 
The Group operates in an industry that sees seasonal changes. In a typical year, the second and third quarter together amount major share of the Group’s full-year EBITDA.
Management has reacted to seasonal changes in customer volumes and demand for roof, roof product and underground drain renovations through workforce adjustment and temporary layoffs of installation and white-collar personnel.
 
4. Segment information and revenue
The Board of Directors of HLRE Holding is the Group’s chief operating decision maker, and operating segments have been specified based on the information reviewed by the Board of Directors in order to allocate resources and assess the profitability of business operations. The Board of Directors manages the HLRE Group as a single integrated business aggregate, and therefore HLRE has a single operating and reportable segment.
The revenue of the HLRE Holding Group is primarily generated by roofing, roof product and underground drain renovations for single-family homes and housing companies pursuant to the service concept developed by the Company, as well as project and direct sales of rainwater systems and roof safety products. The entire service chain – product development, manufacturing, sales and installation – is managed in-house by the Group.
The HLRE Holding Group is operating in Finland and Sweden. Small-scale out of total H1 revenue was generated by direct sales of rainwater systems and roof safety products from Vesivek Tuotteet Oy in Finland to Baltic countries and Sweden. No sales to Russia since February 2022. The Swedish turnover was generated by roofing and roof product installations and small-scale by direct sales of rainwater systems and roof safety products:

Use of Alternative Performance Measures
Alternative Performance Measures (APM) are financial measures of historical or future financial  performance,  financial  position,  or  cash  flows,  other  than  financial  measures defined  or specified  in  the  applicable  financial  reporting  framework.  HLRE Group reports  the  financial  measures [Gross profit], [Gross margin] and [Adjusted EBITDA] in its quarterly  reports,  which  are not  financial  measures  as  defined  in  IFRS. The Group believes that the alternative performance measures provide significant additional information on HLRE’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows The APMs  are  used  consistently  over  time  and  accompanied  by  comparatives  for  the previous periods.
Gross profit= Revenues – cost of goods sold
Gross margin (%) = Gross profit in relation to Revenue
EBITDA = Operating profit (EBIT) + Depreciation + Amortization
EBITDA % = EBITDA in relation to Revenue
Adjusted EBITDA = EBITDA – EBITDA Adjustments
Adjusted EBITDA % = (EBITDA – EBITDA Adjustments) / Revenue
Operating profit (EBIT) % = Operating profit in relation to Revenue
EBITDA adjustments = One-offs regarding restructuring costs and other non-recurring costs
