GROUP'S NET SALES AND RESULT PERFORMANCE
In January-March 2014 the net sales totalled EUR 19.8 million (EUR 22.7
million) and EBITDA was EUR 0.29 million (EUR 0.41 million) being 1.5
percentages (1.8 %) of net sales. The operating profit (EBIT) amounted to EUR
0.03 (EUR 0.12 million) being 0.2 percentages (0.5 %) of net sales. Employee
benefit expenses amounted to EUR 4.3 million (EUR 4.8 million). Other operating
expenses amounted to EUR 2.4 million (EUR 2.9 million). Employee benefit and
other operating expenses were affected by the cost-saving program performed in
the end of 2013. The cost-saving program is expected to achieve annual savings
of 2.0 million which are estimated to impact the result mainly in 2014. The
general economic situation remained difficult which impacted the demand in the
market. The Group continues to review its expense structure and optimise its
operations to improve the profitability of its businesses.
Wulff Group's CEO Heikki Vienola: “The market situation has remained difficult
in the beginning of 2014. The cost-saving program performed in the end of
2013 had an expected effect in the first quarter. We are developing
cost-efficient electronic order services which enable us to serve our clients
in a modern and cost-efficient way. Wulff Entre's establishment in the Swedish
market has come off according to plan and I see great opportunities in growth
there in the future.”
In January-March the financial income and expenses totalled (net) EUR -0.08
million (EUR -0.06 million) including interest expenses of EUR 0.05 million
(EUR 0.05 million) and mainly currency-related other financial items (net) EUR
-0.03 million (EUR -0.02 million).
In January-March the result before taxes was EUR 0.05 million negative (EUR
0.06 million positive) and the net profit after taxes was EUR 0.04 million
negative (EUR 0.05 million positive). Earnings per share (EPS) was EUR 0.00
(EUR 0.00).
Return on investment (ROI) was -0.01 percentages (0.4 %) and return on equity
(ROE) was -0.3 percentage (0.3 %).
CONTRACT CUSTOMERS DIVISION
The Contract Customers Division is the customer's comprehensive partner in the
field of office supplies, IT supplies, business and promotional gifts as well
as international fair services. In January-March the division's net sales
totalled EUR 16.7 million (EUR 19.5 million) and operating profit was EUR 0.2
(EUR 0.5 million).
The general economic situation and the decrease in the products' demand have
led to the decrease in net sales. Due to the cost-saving program performed in
the end of 2013 operating profit decreased only by EUR 0.3 million despite of
the significant drop in the net sales. Traditionally the Contract Customers
Division's result is affected by the cycles of the business and promotional
gift market: the majority of the products are delivered and the majority of the
annual profit is generated in the second and the last quarter of the year.
International fair services are significant part of Wulff's business. Wulff
Entre's investments in sales and its development have resulted in both stronger
customer relationships and an increase in clientele in Finland but also in
Russia, Germany and Sweden. In the first quarter Wulff Entre succeeded in
winning new customers and improving its net sales and profit.
In 2014 Wulff Entre exports Finnish companies' know-how to more than 30
countries. Wulff Entre is the market leader in its field in Finland and there
has been a solid trust in Wulff Entre's ability to find the right international
venues for over 90 years.
DIRECT SALES DIVISION
The Direct Sales Division aims to improve its customers' daily operations with
innovative products as well as the industry's most professional personal and
local service. In January-March the division's net sales totalled EUR 3.0
million (EUR 3.3 million) and operating profit was EUR -0.09 (EUR -0.09
million).
The Division's profitability is improved by concentrating on profitable product
and service fields and by optimising the operations' efficiency. Wulff invests
strongly in the development of the product and service range and aims to
increase the synergy of the purchasing operations by group wide competitive
bidding and cooperation. The most significant product of the new product range
is the LED lighting. The LED lighting is both environmentally friendly and
economical. At its best an investment made today pays back within a year and
cost-savings in the energy consumption can be benefitted from for years.
Successful recruiting affects especially the performance of Direct Sales. New
sales personnel are being actively recruited by, for example, campaigning in
the social media and co-operating with the employment agencies. Wulff's own
introduction and training programmes ensure that every sales person gets both a
comprehensive starting training and further education on how to improve one's
own know-how. Wulff is constantly prepared to employ new sales persons in
Finland and in Scandinavia. Wulff's sales growth is fuelled most importantly by
the talented sales personnel.
FINANCING, INVESTMENTS AND FINANCIAL POSITION
In January-March the cash flow from operating activities was EUR -1.6 million
(EUR -1.9 million). In this industry it is typical that the result and cash
flow are generated in the last quarter.
For its fixed asset investments the Group paid a net of EUR 0.3 million (EUR
0.4 million) in January-March. The Group paid EUR 0.06 million for the
acquisition of non-controlling interests in S Supplies Holding AB to the
subsidiary's key personnel. The Group raised loans of net EUR 1.7 million in
January March 2014 (EUR 1.2 million, net).

-1.0 million). The Group's bank and cash funds totalled EUR 1.7 million in the
beginning of the year and EUR 1.4 million in the end of the reporting period.
In the end of March 2014 the Group's equity-to-assets ratio was 39.2
percentages (December 31, 2013:
38.3 %). Equity attributable to the equity holders of the parent company
increased to EUR 1.83 per share (December 31, 2013: EUR 1.80).

(124) persons were employed in Sweden, Norway, Denmark or Estonia.
The majority, approximately 60 percentages, of the Group's personnel works in
sales operations and approximately 40 percentages of the employees work in
sales support, logistics and administration. The personnel consists
approximately half-and-half of men and women.
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES IN THE NEAR FUTURE
The demand for office supplies is still affected by the organizations'
personnel lay-offs and cost-saving initiatives made during the economic
downturn. The general uncertainty may still continue which will affect the
ordering behaviour of some corporate clients.
Although the business gifts are seen increasingly as a part of the corporate
communications as a whole and they are utilized also in the off-season, some
cost savings may be sought after by decreasing the investments in the brand
promotion. The ongoing economic uncertainties impact especially the demand for
business and promotional gifts. During the uncertain economic periods, the
corporations may also minimize attending fairs.
Half of the Group's net sales come from other than euro-currency countries.
Fluctuation of the currencies affect the Group's net result, however the effect
of the fluctuation is expected to be moderate.
EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD
No significant events have occurred after the end of the reporting period.
MARKET SITUATION AND FUTURE OUTLOOK
Wulff is the most significant Nordic player in its industry. Wulff's mission is
to help its corporate customers to succeed in their own business by providing
them with leading-edge products and services in a way best suitable to them.
The markets have been consolidating in the past few years and the Nordic
markets are expected to consolidate in the future as well. Wulff is prepared to
carry out new strategic acquisitions.
Despite the challenging situation operating results is believed to improve in
2014 due to cost savings. Typically in the industry, the annual profit is made
in the last quarter of the year.
The group continues to improve the efficiency of its operations along with the
continuous renewal in order to increase the Group's profitability and to reach
its long-term financial targets. The cost-saving program performed in the end
of 2013 had an expected impact to the first quarter, and it is expected to gain
annual savings of EUR 2.0 million mainly in 2014.
The Group focuses strongly on sales activities, the development of its sales
operations and new solutions offered to customers. Examples of new products and
services, which have already received good customer feedback, are LED lights
and lighting solutions as well as acoustic panels improving work environment,
personnel well-being and ecological objectives.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FUNANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PREPARATION
This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim
Financial Reporting. The accounting principles used in the preparation of this
report are consistent with those described in the 2013 IFRS Consolidated
Financial Statements, with the exception of the changes to the IFRS standards
effective and adopted as of 1 January 2014. The changes are described in the
2013 IFRS Consolidated Financial Statements. The changes do not have a
significant effect on the interim report.
The IFRS principles require the management to make estimates and assumptions
when preparing financial statements. Although these estimates and assumptions
are based on the management's best knowledge of today, the final outcome may
differ from the estimated values presented in the financial statements.
All figures are presented as thousands of euros and have been rounded to the
nearest thousand euros.
Part of the Group's loan agreements include covenants, according to which the
equity ratio shall be 35 percentages at minimum and the interest-bearing
debt/EBITDA ratio shall be 3.5 at maximum in the end of each financial year. On
December 31, 2013 the covenant debt/EBITDA ratio was breached due to the
negative result. The Group management negotiated the breach with the banks
during the end of 2013 with the result that the banks collected a one-time fee.
Interest-bearing liabilities are classified as long-term or short-term based on
repayment schedule.
The Group has no knowledge of any significant events after the end of the
financial period that would have had a material impact on this report in any
other way that has been already discussed in the review by the Board of
Directors.
