MAGNUS ROSÉN, RAMIRENT CEO:
“The second quarter 2010 was the first quarter with growth in net sales since
the third quarter 2008. Market activity is picking up, and balance between
supply and demand has improved in most of our product groups. In certain product
groups we are even experiencing a shortage of equipment. On the back of a
recovering demand, we are also taking actions to return to healthier price
levels.
While we expect activity to be at a higher level in the second half of 2010,
there are still uncertainties in the overall economy. Therefore, we maintain our
near-term priorities on safeguarding profitability and cash flow as well as on
price discipline.
In the second quarter, we made new inroads in widening our customer base with
industrial customers through an outsourcing and cooperation agreement signed
with Havator for access equipment in the Nordic countries, Russia and the
Baltics. We also expanded our network in the Czech Republic.
With our strong financial position, we are well positioned to take part in the
market consolidation and will continue to monitor the market for interesting
opportunities. We believe in a continued interest from customers to outsource
their own machinery fleets in favour of our progressive equipment rental
solutions.”
RAMIRENT JANUARY - JUNE 2010
MARKET REVIEW
Demand in most product groups improved due to positive market development within
residential construction and in various industrial sectors. However, activity in
non-residential construction continued at a fairly sluggish pace.
Geographically, demand for rental equipment in the Nordic countries, Russia and
Ukraine picked up. The business climate improved in Poland during the second
quarter, although market activity was affected by the floods. In Slovakia, the
Czech Republic and Hungary construction activity continued on a low level. Small
signs of recovery were seen in the Baltic countries, although at a very low
level.
NET SALES
Ramirent Group January - June 2010 net sales decreased 2.6% to EUR 240.3 (246.8)
million due to exceptionally low market activity in the beginning of the year.
At comparable exchange rates, the Group's net sales decreased 8.7%. Net sales
decreased especially in Denmark, Europe East and Europe Central compared to the
corresponding period the previous year.
Second-quarter net sales increased 3.3% to EUR 128.7 (124.6) million compared to
the corresponding period the previous year. Net sales by segment were as

BUSINESS EXPANSION AND ACQUISITIONS
On 18 May 2010, Ramirent announced the acquisition of Havator Group's access
platform operation (excluding truck-mounted access equipment) and the signing of
a five-year rental and cooperation agreement with Havator in Finland, Sweden and
Norway. The co-operation agreement strengthens Ramirent's position especially
within the industrial sector and in large investment projects.
On 29 June 2010, Ramirent announced the acquisition of the machinery and
equipment rental business of the Czech construction machinery company NTC
Stavební Tecnika spol. s r.o. (“NTC”). The acquisition expands Ramirent's
existing network in the Czech Republic with three new outlets, certified by the
ISO 9001:2009 quality control system, in Hradec Králove, Pardubice and Ceska
Skalice. The seven employees of the rental operation continue their employment
at Ramirent. The acquired operations are consolidated as of 1 July 2010.
DEVELOPMENT BY OPERATING SEGMENT
Finland
Finland January - June 2010 net sales increased 2.6% to EUR 64.2 (62.6) million.
EBIT was EUR 3.8 (5.8) million, representing a margin of 5.9% (9.2%).
Second-quarter net sales increased 6.6% to EUR 36.1 (33.8) million with an
EBIT-margin of 11.1% (14.4%). Demand improved for most product groups due to
higher construction activity. The activity was high due to maintenance breaks in
industrial plants while it decreased in the shipyards. The price pressure
increased in certain product groups, while there was an upward trend in prices
in other product groups due to lack of equipment. EBIT weakened primarily due to
the harmonisation of depreciation rules in effect from the last quarter of 2009.
During the period, Havator outsourced its access platform operation (excluding
truck-mounted equipment) to Ramirent and signed a five-year rental and
cooperation agreement with Ramirent.
Sweden
Sweden January - June 2010 net sales decreased 0.6% to EUR 64.2 (64.7) million
or 10.4% at comparable exchange rates. EBIT was EUR 7.6 (12.2) million,
representing a margin of 11.8% (18.8%). Second-quarter net sales increased 6.9%
to EUR 34.9 (32.6) million but decreased 4.2% at comparable exchange rates. The
second-quarter EBIT-margin was 14.4% (21.1%). Net sales decreased due to reduced
market activity especially in the beginning of the year. Activity in the capital
city area was high. An upwards trend in pricing was noticeable due to lack of
equipment in certain product groups. EBIT was burdened by costs for opening new
outlets.
Norway
Norway January - June 2010 net sales increased 3.0% to EUR 55.7 (54.1) million
but decreased 7.2% at comparable exchange rates. EBIT was EUR 0.6 (5.9) million,
representing a margin of 1.0% (10.9%). Second-quarter net sales increased 8.8%
to EUR 27.4 (25.2) million or decreased 2.6% at comparable exchange rates. The
second-quarter EBIT-margin was 3.7% (13.4%). Net sales was supported in the
second quarter by overall improving market conditions. EBIT was still burdened
by stiff price competition in certain product groups as well as costs for
reorganising product centres. In the second quarter, the Bautas brand name,
under which Ramirent has operated in Norway, was changed to Ramirent.
Denmark
Denmark January - June 2010 net sales decreased 25.2% to EUR 17.1 (22.9)
million. EBIT was EUR -1.3 (0.4) million, representing a margin of -7.6% (1.5%).
Second-quarter net sales decreased 22.6% to EUR 9.0 (11.6) million. Net sales
decreased due to continued weak market conditions. Persistent and intense price
competition affected both sales and EBIT negatively.
Europe East (Russia, the Baltic States and Ukraine)
Europe East January - June 2010 net sales decreased 20.0% to EUR 17.0 (21.3)
million or 22.4% at comparable exchange rates. EBIT was EUR -4.0 (-6.6) million,
representing a margin of -23.4% (-31.1%). Second-quarter net sales decreased
20.3% to EUR 9.5 (12.0) million or 24.1% at comparable exchange rates. The
second-quarter EBIT-margin was -16.5% (-27.4%). Small signs of recovery were
seen in the Baltic countries, although at a very low level. Activity increased
in Russia and Ukraine as construction activity has picked up. EBIT improved
considerably compared to last year but is still burdened by continuously lower
sales and price levels.
Europe Central (Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia)
Europe Central January - June 2010 net sales decreased 8.1% to EUR 28.0 (30.4)
million or 13.6% at comparable exchange rates. EBIT was EUR -2.3 (2.3) million,
representing a margin of -8.4% (7.5%). Second quarter net sales decreased 2.9%
to EUR 15.9 (16.3) million or 7.1% at comparable exchange rates. The
second-quarter EBIT-margin was 1.9% (9.5%). Net sales decreased throughout all
Europe Central countries due to lower construction activity. The business
climate improved in Poland at the end of the period, although market activity
was impacted by floods. EBIT was burdened by the decline in sales and intense
price competition in most product groups.

APPOINTMENT IN GROUP MANAGEMENT
Dino Leistenschneider (39) M.Sc. (Eng.) has been appointed Director, Group
Sourcing of Ramirent Plc and a member of the Ramirent Group Management Team as
of 1 September 2010. His responsibilities will include managing all non-fleet
sourcing operations and supporting Fleet Management in equipment-sourcing
efforts.
Dino Leistenschneider joins Ramirent from the position as Project Leader in
business development at Skanska Industrial Production Nordics. Before that he
worked in various purchasing-related positions at Skanska AB and Maxit Group AB.
STRATEGY AND FINANCIAL TARGETS
The aim of the Ramirent Group's strategy is to generate a healthy return to
shareholders under financial stability. Ramirent's strategy 2010 and beyond is
focused on three major objectives: Sustainable top-line growth through
strengthening the offering, widening the customer portfolio as well as growing
through outsourcing cases and selected acquisitions; Operational excellence
through developing a one-company structure, “the Rami platform”; and Reducing
the risk level through a balanced business portfolio.
The Group's long-term financial targets over a business cycle are: earnings per
share growth of at least 15 percent p.a., a return on invested capital of at
least 18 percent p.a. and a gearing target of less than 120 percent at the end
of each financial year. Ramirent's policy with respect to the ordinary dividend
is to distribute at least 40 percent of annual earnings per share to
shareholders.
ESSENTIAL RISKS AFFECTING RAMIRENT'S OPERATIONS
Ramirent is subject to various business risks. Certain risk factors are deemed
to be of material importance to the future development of Ramirent. Risks are
evaluated in relation to achievement of the Company's financial and strategic
targets. Overall, Ramirent expects that its risk exposure has increased due to
the turmoil in the financial markets and the economic cycle of the construction
markets.
The main risks affecting Ramirent's business operations, its profitability and
financial position are those connected with the economic cycles of the
construction industry and increased competition in the rental sector in its
operating countries. The main risks are described in the annual report 2009.
EVENTS AFTER THE END OF THE QUARTER
A new incentive programme for Ramirent managers
On 10 August 2010, the Board of Directors of Ramirent Plc approved a new
share-based incentive programme for managers in the Group. The new programme is
a Performance Share Programme targeted at approximately 50 managers, including
the Group Management team, for the earnings period 2010—2012.
The potential reward from the programme for the earning period 2010—2012 will be
based on the Group's Total Shareholder Return (TSR), on the Group's average
Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) and on the Group's cumulative Earnings per
Share (EPS).
The potential reward from the earning period 2010—2012 will be paid partly in
Company shares and partly in cash during 2013. The cash payment is intended to
cover the personal taxes and tax-related costs arising from the reward. The
maximum reward to be paid on the basis of the earning period 2010—2012 will
correspond to the value of up to 390,000 Ramirent Plc shares (including also the
portion to be paid in cash).
The participants must hold the shares received on the basis of the new incentive
programme as long as the value of the shares held by the participant in total is
below his or her six-month gross salary.
Repurchase of own shares
On 10 August 2010, the Board of Directors of Ramirent Plc decided to repurchase
up to 390,000 shares of the Company, based on the authorisation granted by the
AGM 2010. The repurchase will not commence until one week after the publication
of the decision.
The shares will be repurchased in deviation from the proportion to the holdings
of the shareholders with funds in the Company's non-restricted equity through
public trading on NASDAQ OMX Helsinki Ltd at the market price of the time of the
repurchase. The shares will be acquired to be used as part of the company's
incentive programme, consideration in possible acquisitions or in other
arrangements that are part of the company´s business, to finance investments or
to be retained, otherwise conveyed or cancelled by the Company.
MARKET OUTLOOK 2010
New residential construction is expected to expand in the second half of 2010,
in particular in the Nordic countries. In Central and Eastern Europe, the market
is expected to stabilise towards the end of the year. The infrastructure and
renovation construction market is expected to develop favourably while demand
for commercial construction remains weak. The improved balance between supply
and demand in certain product groups indicates a healthier price level going
forward.
RAMIRENT OUTLOOK 2010
We reiterate our full-year 2010 outlook. Due to the restructuring actions and
the adjustment of fixed costs, the profit before taxes is expected to improve in
2010, and cash flow to be positive.
