STRATEGY IMPLEMENTATION IN Q3
Rapala’s strategic objective is profitable growth, founded on 3 established strenghts: a unique manufacturing and sourcing platform (China and Europe) a leading global distribution network in fishing tackle industry a strong brand portfolio with several leading brands
New Markets
The acquisition of Freetime, an Australian distributor with annual sales of 5 MEUR in July was followed by purchase of the remaining 33% minority stake in Rapala’s Danish distribution company in August
Rapala Eurohold Ltd was established together with the former management of Eurohold Trade Ltd, Mr Karoly Agh Senior and Junior and it acquired the fishing tackle distribution and retail business of Eurohold in the beginning of October. Rapala owns 70% of Rapala Eurohold and Mr Agh Senior and Junior together own 30 %. In 2004, the net sales of Eurohold were some 2 MEUR.
A worldwide exclusive distribution agreement was sign with Kiotech Ltd, effective from the beginning of October, for sport fishing for the pheromone biotechnology branded as Ultrabite. Ultrabite is a pheromone based fish attractant developed by CEFAS governmental laboratories in the UK,
which generates natural and irresistible feeding behavior in fish. In the future, Rapala will launch a wide range of lures and baits containing these pheromones. On a larger
scale, the impact on sales will be seen only in 2007 and onwards.
Slide 9
STRATEGY IMPLEMENTATION IN Q3
New Markets (continue) Opening of new sales companies in China and Thailand progressed and sales offices
in Bangkok and Beijing were opened in October.
New Products The acquisition of lure and other fishing tackle business of Luhr Jensen & Sons, Inc
(USA) was closed in mid-October. Luhr Jensen manufactures a wide range of lures for freshwater and saltwater species. It is one of the five largest lure companies in the USA and the market leader in the Pacific
Northwest and Alaska (USA) and in British Columbia (Canada). The net sales of its lure and fishing tackle business were somewhat below EUR 7 million in the
financial year ended in June 30, 2005. With Rapala and Luhr Jensen combined, the Group is now the world’s largest manufacturer of
metal fishing lures. This deal contributes to the Group’s brand strategy and portfolio while it leverages Rapala’s
unique manufacturing and distribution platforms. The production of Luhr Jensen products will be transferred to the Rapala factories, primarily
Rapala’s factory located in China, during a 12-month transition period. The consideration of the deal comprises of cash and newly issued shares of Rapala. The part of
payment that will be made in shares will take place after one year.
Slide 10
STRATEGY IMPLEMENTATION IN Q3
New Products (continue) The acquisition of Finnish knife manufacturer Marttiini Oy from Lauri Marttiini,
his son Ilkka Marttiini and Ilkka Marttiini’s family members was closed in early November. The deal includes the Finnish knife factory in Rovaniemi, the knife sheaths factory in
Estonia and the 49% share in the Chinese knife joint-venture with Rapala. The net sales for the acquired business was some 6 MEUR in 2004 of which Rapala
has bought more than 40%. This acquisition further strengthens the filleting knife business of the Group and Rapala
is now the market leader worldwide. Rapala will add Marttiini brand to its portfolio of global brands, and Rapala´s own
distribution companies in 25 countries will strengthen the distribution of Marttiini-branded knives.
The consideration of the deal comprises of cash and newly issued shares of Rapala. Ramp-up of the Chinese knife manufacturing join venture (Rapala ownership
100% after the Marttiini deal) proceeds on plan. The launch of Rapala’s new product line for fishing clothing (Rapala ProWear)
proceeds on plan and products are available for 2006 season.
Slide 11
STRATEGY IMPLEMENTATION IN Q3
New Products (continue) The conditional acquisition of 61% of Peltonen Ski Oy
was done to ensure increasing volumes of skis to be distributed through the Group distribution companies in Finland and increasingly also in Norway..
The net sales of Peltonen were some 2 MEUR in 2004 of which some 50% was bought by Rapala, who owns the Peltonen brand since 2002.
Winter-sports, together with hunting, have an important role in the Group distribution business in Nordic countries were the fishing tackle business is very slow in autumn and winter time. This deal has not yet been closed.
These acquisitions and new operations had next to none effect on Q3. They, including Freetime, will have a modest but positive impact on fourth quarter operating profit and they are estimated to increase the Group net sales with some 4 MEUR.
They are expected to increase 2006 net sales in excess of 15 MEUR compared to 2005 and be earnings enhancing.
The total purchase price for all acquisitions announced in 2005 is close to 12 MEUR of which some 7 MEUR will be allocated to fixed assets and some 5 MEUR to inventories. This purchase price represents on an average a EBITDA multiple of 4-5.
Group’s management continues to plan and negotiate new initiatives to implement the Group strategy.
