Saxlund - Turnaround Company from Sweden?

Saxlund’s subsidiary IMUS AB has signed another contract with Fortum Sverige AB. The contract has a value of approximately 14 MSEK including options. The work will commence in August 2024 and be completed in May 2025.

IMUS signs an agreement with Fortum AB. Fortum has operations in more than 40 countries and is the 3rd largest producer of carbon-free electricity in Europe. Fortum’s facility in Höljes is undergoing a renovation of its dam gates, and the hydraulics will be replaced with wire hoists as part of Fortum’s environmental work.

  • “It is gratifying that Fortum shows continued confidence by placing a new technically advanced order with IMUS. We will perform similar work to what we did for Fortum’s facility in Bergvik during 2023. In connection with this, we plan to hire and expand IMUS with a service point along the Ljusnan river. I see good potential in hydropower, and 2024 will be an exciting time for IMUS,” says Fredrik Nordling, CEO of Saxlund Group AB.

Announcement from today:

Saxlund International Holding AB has received a contract award decision from Finspångs Tekniska Verk AB, via Sinfra’s framework agreement for small-scale heat production, for a site-built plant. The plant consists of one 5 MW pellet boiler with the possibility of expanding with an additional 5 MW pellet boiler. The contract value amounts to approximately 47 MSEK including options. The agreement will be signed in 10 days at the earliest.

  • Saxlund has received an order within the framework agreement with Sinfra for the delivery of a site-built bioenergy plant to Finspångs Tekniska Verk. The delivery includes a boiler house and two complete pellet boilers with ESP filters. Work will take place during 2024 with heat delivery starting the coming heating season. In the case of two boilers, work on the second boiler will take place during 2025. This is the single largest order value in the last ten years for Saxlund. We are pleased to receive this award from Finspångs Tekniska Verk and we thank them for their trust, says Fredrik Nordling, CEO of Saxlund Group AB.

Nice to see that the company is still getting orders and that the Sinfra framework agreement continues to generate new contracts. The company’s largest order in ten years, even if it includes an additional option, but we trust that the customer will utilize the full agreement :wink:

So the wait continues for this one. It is starting to look like the expansion into hydropower through acquisition has paid off: “In the water sector, we continued working at a fast pace and have added another order for 2024 and 2025 to an already well-filled order backlog. Inquiries and offers are constantly coming in from new and existing customers. We are working intensively to further increase our capacity to meet the increased and continuously growing demand.” Otherwise, the report described the order backlog as satisfactory.

According to the release, project business margins have improved, but the aftermarket side is lagging. Apparently, those involve longer contracts, and they haven’t been able to raise prices yet.

Revenue is on a growth path, which is good. Hopefully, they can get the bottom line pumped back to positive again.

Well then, the question mark has been added back to the title. It’s starting to look like a turnaround company, but in which year and in which direction?

Share issue at a price of SEK 0.01 per share
Subscription rights in an 11:1 ratio for owners at the end of August.
Dilution over 90%

Summary of the Rights Issue

  • One (1) existing share in the Company entitles to eleven (11) subscription rights. One (1) subscription right entitles you to subscribe for one (1) share. This means that the Rights Issue comprises a maximum of 7,051,657,085 new shares.
  • The subscription price in the rights issue is SEK 0.01 per share.
  • Through the Rights Issue, a maximum of approximately SEK 70.5 million can be added to Saxlund before deductions for costs attributable to the Rights Issue, which are estimated to amount to approximately SEK 6.7 million, of which approximately SEK 5.3 million is warranty compensation.
  • Mats Gabrielsson, Mind Finance AB (“Mind Finance”) and BO Intressenter AB (“BO Intressenter”), which together hold approximately 24.1 percent of the total number of shares and votes in Saxlund, have undertaken to subscribe their respective pro rata shares in the Rights Issue, corresponding to a total of approximately SEK 17.0 million. In addition, BO Intressenter, subject to the approval of the extraordinary general meeting, has entered into a guarantee commitment of approximately SEK 48.6 million, corresponding to approximately 68.9 percent of the rights issue. The rights issue is thus covered to approximately 93.0 percent by subscription obligations and guarantee commitments. The subscription obligations and the guarantee commitment are further conditional on the extraordinary general meeting approving the rights issue in accordance with the conditions of the Swedish Stock Exchange Board to grant an exemption from the obligation to bid as described under " Exemption from the obligation to bid " below.
  • The subscription period runs from and including September 2, 2024 to and including September 16, 2024, or the later date decided by the board.
  • Subscription rights that are not exercised during the subscription period become invalid and lose their value. Trading in subscription rights is planned to take place on the Nasdaq First North Growth Market from and including September 2, 2024 to and including September 11, 2024. Trading in BTA (paid subscribed shares) is planned to take place on the Nasdaq First North Growth Market during the period from and including the 5 September 2024 through September 27, 2024.
  • The rights issue means a maximum dilution of approximately 91.7 percent.
  • The rights issue is conditional on the approval of an extraordinary general meeting which is intended to be held on 26 August 2024. As it is not possible to issue new shares at a subscription price below the quota value, which currently amounts to approximately SEK 0.15 per share, the board intends to propose to the general meeting to also decide on measures to lower the quota value of the Company’s shares to a value corresponding to the subscription price in the Rights Issue. The measures that the board intends to propose for lowering the quota value require a change in the articles of association. The rights issue is further conditional on the extraordinary general meeting’s approval of BO Intressenter’s guarantee commitment and approval of the credit agreement (for more information, see the sections " Extra general meeting, board change and conditions for the implementation of the rights issue " and " Credit agreement and statement regarding working capital "). Notice of the extraordinary general meeting will be published through a separate press release.

Not exactly a great result, which was of course to be expected after such a rights issue announcement.
And no significant new orders during the reporting period.
However, there is a positive trend in Germany, and the debts will be cleared with the proceeds from the issue.

EGM on August 26th, where the rights issue will be decided. Until then, existing shares entitle you to subscribe for new ones at a 1:11 ratio.
Expect some potential messiness after that in the pricing of both old and new shares as well as the subscription rights :grin:

Comment from CEO Fredrik Nordling

Saxlund continues to operate in a challenging business climate, but now we finally see signs of improvement in the market. During the first half of the year, we achieved a turnover that exceeded the corresponding period of the previous year. Turnover amounted to SEK 149.1 million, compared to SEK 142.4 million the year before. The increase can be attributed to both project activities and the aftermarket, where we saw slightly better growth in the German market during the last quarter.

Germany’s sluggish economy has affected us over the past three quarters, and the uncertain market situation has resulted in fewer inquiries and deferred decisions. We now see a positive development in our German operations with a healthy pipeline in project operations and increased demand in the aftermarket during the last quarter. In Sweden, inquiries within bioenergy remain at a low level, which has led us to adapt our organization to meet lower capacity utilization.

We have not taken any major orders during the quarter, which has resulted in our order book being at a lower level, similar to autumn 2023.

EBITDA for the first half of the year amounted to -6.5 MSEK, compared to -6.2 MSEK in the same period last year. The decline in results is mainly due to lower margins within project operations. This is partly offset by a better result in the aftermarket, where Germany started the year weakly but recovered in the second quarter.

We continue to focus on profitability by measuring and streamlining our processes. Several improvements have already been implemented, making us more efficient in our work. However, the market situation has prevented these effects from being fully reflected in the current figures. We are continuously adapting the organization to prevailing conditions to ensure that we can soon show positive results. The effects of the capacity adjustments we implemented will, as previously mentioned, begin to show in the fall and fully in the spring of 2025.

Our work in hydropower continues at a high pace, and we have intensified our recruitment efforts to increase capacity and fill the order book. Demand in this area remains strong and the results satisfactory.

The board has decided on a rights issue of approximately SEK 70.5 million, guaranteed to approximately SEK 65.5 million. The proceeds will be used primarily to repay the loans taken out to finance project activities, which have incurred extensive losses. The remaining funds are estimated to amount to approximately SEK 10 million and will be used as working capital. This capital injection will strengthen our balance sheet, which may enable further business going forward.

Dilutions first to the floor and then naturally a reverse split at a ratio of 1:1000

Aggregation of shares
In order to achieve an appropriate number of shares for the company, the board proposes that the general meeting decide on a consolidation of the company’s shares, whereby the number of shares in the company is reduced by combining one thousand (1,000) shares into one (1) share (consolidation 1:1 000). Through the merger, the number of shares in the company will decrease from 7,199,059,735 to 7,199,059.

The board must be authorized to determine the record date for the merger (to fall after the decision has been registered with the Swedish Companies Registration Office) and take the other measures required for the implementation of the merger.

The shareholder BO Intressenter AB has undertaken to contribute shares free of charge to shareholders whose number of shares is not evenly divisible by 1,000. BO Intressenter AB has also undertaken to round its remaining shareholding in the Company down to the nearest number which is evenly divisible by 1,000 .

In connection with determining the record date for the merger, the board shall publish the decision on the determination of the record date as well as more detailed information about the procedure for the merger.

Yeah, we went far below the anti-price :thinking:

Saxlund’s subsidiary IMUS AB signs a contract worth approximately SEK 10 million

Saxlund’s subsidiary IMUS AB has recently entered into an agreement with Fortum Sverige AB, worth approximately SEK 10 million. The work will begin in 2026 and span three years.

The new agreement with Fortum concerns a renovation of the sluice gates in Svarthålsforsen. The work also includes replacing the hydraulics with winches. Fortum operates in more than 40 countries and is the third largest producer of carbon dioxide-free electricity in Europe. This project is part of their investment in the environment.

  • It is gratifying that Fortum chooses to place a new technically advanced order with IMUS. We will carry out work similar to what we previously carried out for Fortum’s facilities in Bergvik and Höljes. We now have a solid platform in the hydropower area that we look forward to building on. IMUS is doing fantastic work and is becoming an increasingly central part of Saxlund, which I follow with great interest, says Fredrik Nordling, CEO of Saxlund Group AB

An order for Saxlund, following up on a previous one. Interesting to see how things progress after the share issue :thinking:

Option ordered by Finspångs Tekniska Verk AB at a value of approximately SEK 14 million

Saxlund International Holding AB signed an agreement in 2024, within the framework agreement with Sinfra, with Finspångs Tekniska Verk AB. The agreement concerned a new heating plant where the contract value amounted to 48 MSEK including options. Saxlund has now received an order for the option that was included in the agreement. The option concerns a 5 MW boiler and the value amounts to 14 MSEK. The work will continue during 2025.

-During 2024, we have worked on a new heating plant for Finspångs Tekniska Verk. The project has proceeded smoothly and it is really nice that we have increased trust from the customer. We thank you for the continued trust and look forward to continuing this project together with Finspång in 2025, says Fredrik Nordling, CEO of Saxlund Group AB.

Comment from CEO Fredrik Nordling

For the fourth quarter, Saxlund reported sales of SEK 78.6 million, an increase of 17 percent compared to the same period last year. There has been strong sales in all markets, particularly in project operations.

The EBITDA result for the quarter amounted to -1.8 MSEK, which is an improvement compared to the previous year of approximately 11.2 MSEK. The last quarter is normally a weak quarter for our business and it is pleasing that we are making such a strong improvement. The quarter is also affected by a one-off effect of 2.0 MSEK in the UK which relates to a period before 2024. Without this effect, we show a positive EBITDA result for the quarter. It is of course unfortunate that we need to make this adjustment in the UK, but we have control over the situation and are implementing measures to avoid similar adjustments in the future.

When we sum up the year, I see that despite the changes we have implemented in recent years, we have a tough start. Then there is a clear turnaround during the summer, and we deliver a strong third quarter – in fact, the strongest in five years.

Some of the highlights during the year include Germany delivering a strong year despite a challenging market climate in the domestic market. We signed a major agreement with the world’s largest furniture manufacturer. We have delivered well in hydropower in the Swedish market, where we have worked with both new and old customers over the past two years. This, combined with the high quality of what we have delivered to our customers, has meant that hydropower is a strong contributor to our margin improvement.

In previous quarters, I have announced that we have a weaker order book than we have had historically. The order book has improved somewhat during the quarter but remains at a lower level than desirable. Our pipeline is strong and I expect that we will strengthen the order book from current levels going forward.

Our focus is to grow our aftermarket, which has happened by four percent. The margin has increased by a full five percent within the segment when we compare between years. This is a contributing factor to the improved result.

Personnel costs have increased more this year compared to previous years, which is due to the contractual wage increases that have been high during the year. Despite inflation and rent increases, we have reduced OPEX during the year by approximately five percent. We continue to work purposefully to streamline and maintain tight cost control.

The necessary share issue that Saxlund carried out during the third quarter has meant that the group is free of long-term liabilities other than leasing. This results in reduced financing costs and a better environment for doing sound business.

During the quarter, we have carried out a reverse split, which means that we have merged shares and significantly changed the number of shares and the share price. The decision was made to facilitate trading of the share.

Our previous focus on profitability and efficiency will continue in 2025. We have two good quarters behind us and I look forward to seeing the impact of that focus in the coming quarters. After that, the plan is to gradually intensify our focus on growth again.

A new order after a long time, this time from Germany.

Either it’s just quiet otherwise, or work is being sought with better margins as per discussions. This just means orders are coming in quite rarely then :grimacing:

Subsidiary in Germany signs contract worth approximately SEK 16 million

Saxlund International GmbH has signed an agreement worth approximately SEK 16 million with the German company Doosan Lentjes GmbH for the delivery of sludge handling equipment to a power plant in Ghent, Belgium.

Doosan Lentjes focuses on environmental technology for efficient resource use in a sustainable circular economy. With its own processes for combustion, steam generation and flue gas cleaning, they deliver tailor-made plants for the treatment of thermal waste and sewage sludge.

Saxlund will supply its robust feed units, foreign object separators, conveyor screws and the reliable feed system for the boiler. All of the aforementioned equipment is designed and supplied by Saxlund and enables the customer to operate a boiler with alternative fuel.

From two receiving hoppers, the mechanically dried sludge will be transported to Saxlund’s drum separators. The separators will sort out foreign objects to protect the disc dryers and other equipment. After thermal drying, the sludge will be transported by screws to Saxlund’s boiler feed system.

We are pleased to announce that we have completed a significant sale through our German subsidiary and are now strengthening our order book. I would like to thank our dedicated team who have worked hard to deliver value and quality. We appreciate the trust that has been shown in us, says Fredrik Nordling, CEO of Saxlund Group AB

Comment from CEO Fredrik

For the second quarter, we report sales of SEK 58.7 (73.2) million. The decrease of SEK 14.5 was largely expected. Despite lower sales, we deliver improved results, with an EBITDA of SEK 1.8 (-1.9) million.

The result varies between the different quarters, but we can now state that we have accumulated a positive EBIT result over a rolling twelve months. This is an important milestone that reflects the extensive changes we have implemented over the past two years
