DevelOpMeNtS iN H1 2012
During the first half of 2012, Hartmann continued its work to strength-en the organisation and build a solid platform for growth during the 2013-2015strategyperiod.Developmentswereinlinewithplansdur-ing the first half of 2012, which was characterised by growth in North AmericaandchallengingmarketconditionsinEurope.
the european business was marked by intensified price competition and higher raw material and transport costs; a trend that had a negative impactonHartmann’sprofitability.WhileHartmannsuccessfullylifteditssales,demandintheEuropeanmarketsfellbelowexpectations,andproduction planning thus resulted in a temporary decline in produc-tionefficiencyduringthefirstpartofQ22012.
As part of the work to strengthen 'Competitive edge' in the european business and build a more efficient organisation, Hartmann stepped up its cross-functional collaboration duringQ2 2012.Hartmann imple-mented new procedures for Sales & Operations planning in the euro-pean business with a view to improving overall production planning andoptimisingtheutilisationofproductionfacilities.Thechangeshavealready been effected and have resulted in improved collaboration across the sales and production organisation through more effective communicationandimprovedcoordination.
Hartmann works continuously to achieve other synergies from the centralisationofspecialistfunctionsattheheadoffice.Basedonthis,forexample,anumberofcross-functionalinitiativeshavebeenimple-mented in order to optimise the transport process and reduce freight costs by establishing a stronger, joint basis for choosing collaborative partners in the field.Moreover, the centralisation of the purchasingfunction will lead to future savings through joint purchase agreements madeacrosstheEuropeanproductionsites.
the challenging market conditions in europe were offset by strong developments in North America. Hartmann continued to progress,succeeding in its efforts to enhance capacity utilisation and increase profitability for the North American business through increased sales of high-value packaging and continued optimisation of production and productportfolio.
Statement oF compreHenSive incomerevenueHartmann’sconsolidatedrevenuewasDKK769millionforH12012(2011:DKK727million).RevenueforQ22012wasDKK358million(2011:DKK352million).
EuropeHartmann’s european business reported revenue for H1 2012 of DKK 639million(2011:DKK622million)andDKK295millionforQ22012(2011:DKK300million).
the revenue growth witnessed in the first half of the year was mainly attributable to increased sales of moulded-fibre packaging in europe andahigherlevelofactivityatHartmannTechnology.Theintensifiedprice competition in Hartmann’s european markets had a negative impact on revenue, and a temporary fall in the supply of eggs due to stricter eu requirements concerning the conditions of laying hens in conventional cages had a minor adverse effect; primarily, however, in theUKmarket.
the increase in sales of moulded-fibre packaging was driven by posi-tivedevelopments inthesouthernandcentralEuropeanmarkets. Inaddition, Hartmann’s sales during the prior-year period were lower as a result of german and Dutch consumers having responded to the dis-coverythatdioxin-contaminatedvegetablefathadbeenusedasfeedforpoultryandotheranimals.
North Americain the North American business area, revenue for H1 2012 came to DKK130million(2011:DKK104million)andDKK63millionforQ22012(2011:DKK52million).
Sales rose during the first half of the year as a result of targeted sales efforts, and Hartmann successfully increased the proportion of high-value products relative to the prior-year period. The positive trendcontributed to revenue growth and a higher average selling price in NorthAmerica.

operating profitHartmannreportedoperatingprofitofDKK62millionforH12012(2011: DKK 57 million), corresponding to a profit margin of 8.1%(2011:7.8%).OperatingprofitforQ22012wasDKK17million(2011:DKK21million),correspondingtoaprofitmarginof4.7%(2011:6.1%).
EuropeHartmannreportedoperatingprofitofDKK45millionforH12012(2011: DKK 65 million), corresponding to a profit margin of 7.0%(2011:10.4%).OperatingprofitforQ22012wasDKK9million(2011:DKK26million),correspondingtoaprofitmarginof2.9%(2011:8.6%).
Operating profit was negatively affected by intensified price competi-tion in Hartmann’s european markets and the resulting decline in the average selling price (negative effect ofDKK15million) andhigherrawmaterialandtransportcosts(negativeeffectofDKK14million).Moreover, the temporary reduction in production efficiency in europe affectedoperatingprofitforH12012(negativeeffectofDKK7mil-lion). Overheads grew as a result of the planned strengthening ofHartmann’s organisation and competencies (negative effect of DKK 10million).
the increase in revenue for H1 2012 and an increase in the proportion ofhigh-valuepackagingcontributedpositively(DKK12million)toop-erating profit, partially offsetting the trend in the average selling price andoverheads.TheincreaseinthelevelofactivityatHartmannTech-nologyalsohadapositiveimpactonoperatingprofit(DKK8million).
North Americathe North American business continued its strong performance, reportingoperatingprofitofDKK31million(2011:DKK8million)andaprofitmarginof23.5%(2011:7.2%)forH12012.OperatingprofitforQ22012wasDKK15million(2011:DKK4million),correspondingtoaprofitmarginof23.5%(2011:6.8%).
A marked improvement in capacity utilisation combined with higher revenue and a higher average selling price contributed positively (DKK 14million)tooperatingprofitgrowthinNorthAmerica.Furthermore,generally reduced prices of recycled paper, investments in technology to optimise raw material consumption and reduce production com-plexitycontributedtothestrongH1performance.
