4President’s ReviewBertelLangenskiöld<strong>Fiskars</strong> is strongand flexibleThe current structure of the companysupports profitable operations both inthe currently prevailing and the varyingfuture conditions.<strong>Fiskars</strong> <strong>Corporation</strong>’s cash flow continued to be strong during<strong>2002</strong>, strengthening the corporate balance sheet andimproving the equity ratio. The measures introduced earlierto adapt operations to the market situation, and focusingon improvement of profitability and cash flow have beensuccessful choices under prevailing circumstances. Today<strong>Fiskars</strong> has a strong balance sheet; its equity ratio exceeds50 per cent, and the amount of interest-bearing liabilitieshas decreased to 65 per cent of equity. The strong balancesheet gives the company more operating room and betterpossibilities for growth through acquisitions.<strong>Fiskars</strong>’ sales in the United States remained largelyunchanged from the previous year, although closer focus onprofitability also meant streamlining the product portfolio.In this challenging business environment where the indus-


PRESIDENT’ S REVIEW5trial production levels remained low and consumer confidence,which is critical for economy, declined, <strong>Fiskars</strong>’ businessactivities developed satisfactorily. The value of theUS dollar began sliding in late spring and by the year-end itwas nearly 20 per cent weaker than in the early part of theyear. This is eroding American consumers’ buying powerbut will in the long run improve <strong>Fiskars</strong>’ competitiveness,because a significant part of its production is in the UnitedStates. In <strong>2002</strong>, however, the impact of the weaker dollarrate was mainly seen as a decrease in euro denominatednet sales.The European markets were stable and sales volumeslargely remained on the level of previous years. It appearsthat the retail sector is rapidly consolidating, and the purchaseorganizations of international retail chains enteringthe European market operate in an increasingly centralizedway. This means higher requirements on suppliers especiallywith regard to shipping volumes and on-time delivery.I believe that our long expertise as a reliable supplier toleading retail organizations will ensure our good competitiveposition when facing these challenges.During the year, <strong>Fiskars</strong> Brands, Inc. focused on its coreoperations and development of its infrastructure. The introductionof an extensive resource planning system, whichwill ensure the control and follow-up of the future growthand profitability, continues in the US operations. Marketingand customer service received special attention. An extensivebranding study, with consumer focus groups in severalmarkets, was conducted in order to better understand customersand their expectations on <strong>Fiskars</strong> and its products.The information from this study will be utilized in <strong>Fiskars</strong>Brands’ strategic planning.The efficiency improvement measures have continued.In the USA production has been consolidated and productrationalization is well under way. In Europe focus has mainlybeen on the UK and Germany. The factory at Bridgend,Wales, was closed down, and in Germany operations wereconsolidated. The discontinued product lines have beenreplaced by other <strong>Fiskars</strong> products or partly by products fromAsian sub-suppliers.For Inha Works, the year was satisfactory. The demandfor boats saw a moderate growth, and particularly thebiggest Buster models were enthusiastically received in themarketplace. Hinge sales remained unchanged from the previousyear, in spite of the recession in the building sector.Growing export activity and <strong>Fiskars</strong> patent-protected hingemodels strengthen our position as the leading hinge supplierto the Nordic market.<strong>Fiskars</strong> real estate assets were managed according tosuccessful long-term plans. Construction of a small hotelin <strong>Fiskars</strong> Village started in the fall in order to increasethe round-the-year utilization of the facilities availablein the area.Like in previous years, <strong>Fiskars</strong>’ long-term investmentsmainly consist of the holding in Wärtsilä <strong>Corporation</strong>, aswell as of placements in several international investmentfunds. These investments continued to yield good returns.Corporate governance has been a current topic throughoutthe world in <strong>2002</strong>. <strong>Fiskars</strong> as a Group and <strong>Fiskars</strong> Brandshave since long followed the today generally recommendedprinciples of good governance.Although at this writing, the future outlook is veryuncertain I am confident that <strong>Fiskars</strong> today is a strongand flexible company, capable of responding to the futurechallenges even in highly varying operating conditions.I wish to thank our customers, cooperation partners,personnel and shareholders for the past year.Helsinki, February 2003

The principal markets are Finland, otherNordic countries and Eastern Europe.The production enhancements and investments implementedduring the previous year were taken into use in<strong>2002</strong>.

Sales picked uptowards the end of the year in all markets and reached ahigher volume than the year before. Growth was relativelystrongest in Russia and Germany.The Buster range includes seven basic models that providesolutions for leisure boating and professional applications.The new Magnum Buster, introduced in 2001, gainedwide popularity and its sales exceeded all expectations.Inha Works continues its energetic product development andquality improvement program, consolidating the position ofBuster boats as the European market leader.Recession in the domestic construction industry prevailed,and sales of hinges remained flat on the previousyear.

18<strong>Report</strong> by the Board of DirectorsBoth in the United States and Europe the market situationwas strained in the consumer products sector. Corporate netsales declined by 5% from the previous year and totaledEUR 725 million (762).

Income from investments increased to EUR 59 million(51). Result after financial items was EUR 72 million (36).Profit for the year was EUR 50 million (23) and earningsper share amounted to EUR 0.90 (0.41).The Board of Directors proposes an increase of dividendto EUR 0.70 (0.31) per share of series A and EUR 0.68(0.29) per share of series K. Thus the dividend distributionwould be EUR 38.4 million (16.8).OPERATIONS<strong>Fiskars</strong> Brands Inc.Net sales from consumer products, which is the <strong>Corporation</strong>’soverwhelmingly largest industrial operation, decreased by5% to EUR 693 million (731). Dollar denominated salesremained unchanged.Most of the sales of consumer products, i.e. 68% of totalnet sales, were generated in North America; Europe accountedfor 29% of the total figure.In North America, dollar denominated sales of school,office and craft products sold mainly under the FISKARSbrand increased by nearly 6%, which was a good result inthe prevailing difficult market conditions.The sales trend of leisure products, which mainly consistedof Gerber branded products, was also positive while theheterogeneous development of garden products continued.Sales of FISKARS branded hand tools grew as much as 8%supported by innovative new products and it is noteworthythat the production volume in Billnäs plant in Finland grewwith 20%. However, the garden sector’s total sales growthremained negative due to continued weak demand forvolume products such as flower pots, rubber mats, outdoorfurniture and plastics products.In the European marketplace, sales of consumer productsincreased over the previous year to EUR 214 million (206).<strong>Fiskars</strong> retained its strong position in the Nordic countriesand increased its market share. Sales in the CentralEuropean euro area and UK remained unchanged from theprevious year despite of the particularly difficult marketsituation. Growth in new areas such as Poland and Russiaexceeded 10%; however, for the time being, they representa small share of the total market.The non-recurring costs of programs aimed at improvingprofitability remained high at EUR 20 million (34). The biggestcost items relate to restructuring measures taken in theUK and Germany, where operations were closed and activitieswere focused on the strongest <strong>Fiskars</strong> Brands products.Amortization of goodwill increased to EUR 14 million (11);the figure includes an extraordinary write-down of EUR 3.2million in connection with the above-mentioned restructuringmeasures. <strong>Fiskars</strong> Brands’ operating profit was EUR 27million (11).Inha WorksInha Works’ net sales grew by 7% to EUR 23 million (22),mainly thanks to boat sales that increased both in Finlandand export markets. Especially the renewed Buster Magnumgained great popularity.

26General Accounting PrinciplesThe financial statements have been prepared in accordance withregulations in force in Finland. These regulations are in conformitywith the directives of the European Community.The financial information is presented in euro.The preparation of financial statements in conformity with regulationsin force and generally accepted accounting principles requiresmanagement to make estimates and assumptions that affect the valuationof assets and liabilities and reported amounts of revenuesand expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.Scope of the Consolidated Financial Statements The consolidatedfinancial statements include the accounts of all companies where<strong>Fiskars</strong> directly or indirectly holds more than 50% of the votes.Acquired or established subsidiaries and investments in participatinginterests are included in the consolidated financial statements fromthe date of acquisition or establishment to the date of divestment.Intercompany transactions, dividends, receivables and liabilitiesas well as unrealized intercompany profits have been eliminated.The purchase method of accounting is used in elimination ofintercompany shareholdings. Tax liability on the acquired company’suntaxed reserves is included in deferred tax liabilities. The remainderis included in shareholders’ equity. Where appropriate, the excess ofacquisition cost over the value of acquired net assets is allocated tovarious balance sheet items. The residual is accounted for as goodwilland amortized over ten to twenty years. The amortization periodis dependent on estimates concerning the useful economic life ofacquired brands.Investments in participating interests (20%–50% of votes, morethan 20% of shares) are included in the financial statements byapplying the equity method of accounting. A proportional share ofnet income is included in financial items. Goodwill is amortized andany unrealized internal profit is eliminated. In the balance sheet theinvestment is valued at cost adjusted for the corporation’s share ofnet assets accumulated after the date of acquisition.Investments in other companies are stated in the balance sheetat cost or at net realizable value.Transactions in foreign currencies Foreign currency denominatedincome statements are translated into euro at the average exchangerate for the financial period. Balance sheets are translated at theend of period exchange rate. Consequently, net income according tothe income statement will differ from net income according to thebalance sheet. The difference is included in retained earnings.Currency translation adjustments on foreign subsidiaries’ openingretained earnings are included in consolidated retained earnings.Currency translation adjustments on other reserves are included inconsolidated other reserves. Transactions in foreign currencies arerecorded at the rates of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction.Unsettled balances in foreign currencies are translated at therates prevailing on the balance sheet date, except for advance paymentsreceived or paid which are translated at the exchange rateson the payment date. Open hedging instruments pertaining to foreigncurrency items are valued at the market value, including interestcomponents. Both realized and unrealized exchange gains andlosses have been included in the financial items in the incomestatement.Net sales Net sales is defined as invoiced amount less indirecttaxes, rebates and exchange rate adjustments on foreign currencydenominated sales.Research and development costs Research and development costsare expensed when incurred.Retirement benefit plans In the consolidated accounts the retirementbenefit plans have been accounted for in accordance with IAS.The retirement plans for the Finnish companies’ employees arefunded through payments to independent insurance companies.A small part of already retired employees receives their benefitsfrom a trustee-administered fund. Any change in the deficit in thetrustee-administered fund is included in net income of the parentcompany. The net deficit of the fund, which is almost fully covered,is taken up as a liability in the balance sheet.Extraordinary income and expense Income and expense of significantsize and not a part of continuing operations, e.g. sale or discontinuationof a separate line of business, are taken up as extraordinaryitems, net of tax.Fixed assets and other long-term investments Fixed assets arestated at cost less accumulated depreciation according to plan.Certain land holdings have been revalued.Revaluations are based on market values. If the market values fallbelow book value, the revaluation is reversed correspondingly.Fixed assets are depreciated and amortized over their expecteduseful lives. Typically, the following expected useful lives areapplied:• goodwill10–20 years• other long-term expense3–10 years• buildings25–40 years• vehicles4 years• machinery and equipment3–10 yearsRevaluation amounts of land and water holdings are not depreciated.Gains and losses on disposal of fixed assets are included in operatingprofit.Inventories and financial assets Inventories are stated at thelower of cost or net realizable value. Cost includes both direct andindirect costs. Cost is determined on a first-in-first-out (FIFO) basis.Net realizable value is the amount that can be realized from the saleof the asset less any related sales cost.Leasing Operating leases are expensed. Objects leased under financiallease agreements are recorded as assets, and the correspondingliability is recorded as debt.Provisions Provisions consist of reserves for future costs to whichthe corporation has committed itself or of losses that are deemedprobable and do not generate a corresponding income.Appropriations Appropriations in the parent company balance sheetconsist of untaxed reserves and depreciation in excess of plan. Inthe consolidated balance sheet appropriations are taken up as equityand deferred tax liability. The change in appropriations is split intonet income and increase or decrease in deferred tax cost.Income taxes Income taxes consist of the aggregate current taxexpense in the group companies, prior year taxes and deferred taxes.Taxes related to extraordinary items are shown in connection withthese items.Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the current taxrate or, if a future tax rate has been announced, at that announcedtax rate. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized in full whereasdeferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent it is consideredprobable that the tax asset will realize future tax savings.Dividends The dividend proposed by the Board of Directors has notbeen included as liability in the financial statements.
