SERVICE POINT SOLUTIONS RELEASES FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR YEAR 2010 and PROJECTIONS FOR 2011

Just a quick highlight:

Sales of Service Point Solutions’ US Division

FY 2009 - 19,201 mil Euro

FY 2010 - 16,428 mil Euro

= 14.5% off

Sales for all of Service Point Solutions (the entire company)

FY 2009 - 213,788 mil Euro

FY 2010 - 202,746 mil Euro

= 5.2% off

I will likely make comments about SP’s results, after I’ve studied them. But, I will do that in a later post, not in this one.

Okay, let’s get on with the rest of this post …..

I could have used another lesson in Spanish before I sat down tonight to research the information I found on Service Point Solutions’ web-site and on the web-site of the Bolsa (Spanish) Stock Exchange. (MK, where are you when I really need you!)

Buenas tardes, senors, senoras and senoritas. Hola! Como Estas?

Okay, pardon my late-at-night humor.

This evening, I found the most recent financial reports for Service Point Solutions, along with other information as well. These reports will show you how Service Point’s business performed in 2010. In addition, I found a file that shows the information that was apparently presented at a Meeting of Shareholders that took place last week. And, I found another file that provides SPS Management’s guidance for 2011. And, I found yet another file that, I think, contains information about a public offering of additional SPS shares. I hope your Spanish language skills are better than mine.

Unfortunately, I could not find, on SP’s web-site, any English language versions of these reports and documents. I would imagine that SPS will, at some point, post English language versions of these reports and documents on its web-site. Until they do that, you’ll have to live with the Spanish language versions. I hope you either read Spanish or know someone who’s fluent in Spanish who can help you!

Below, you will find several reports/documents mentioned. You will first see the Spanish language name of the document or report. Followed by the name of the report in English, after I ran the Spanish through “Google Translate”.

1. INFORME FINANCIERO SEMESTRAL CORRESPONDIENTE AL AÑO

which Google Translate translated to….

1. SEMI-ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR

For some reason, I can’t provide you a click-on link to this report, but here’s how you get to it:

Step 1 – go to http://www.servicepoint.net/SPSG/bolsa.html

Step 2 – on the right side of that web-page, click on CNMV Information

Step 3 – on the right side of that web-page, click on “Informacion financia intermedia

Step 4 - at the top of the list (in blue) on that web-page, click on 25/02/2011

Step 5 - on the left side of that page, click on “Informe semestral

If you think it was difficult for you to get to that damn file, think of what I had to go through to find it and then explain how to get there! I.E. Don’t complain!

I think these last two documents have something to do with an additional offering of Service Point shares. Service Point recently issued a Press Release to announce that it had completed a restructuring and extension of its debt-financing. But, I also recall hearing that Service Point was going to sell additional stock in order to raise cash for acquisitions. Service Point Solutions recently announced that it was going to acquire Holmbergs, a Swedish company. Even prior to that announcement, SPS said that it was looking at additional acquisitions.

Finally, I received an e-mail, dated Feb 28, 2011, from SPS’ media relations people (I’ve signed up, so I automatically receive these e-mails.) This one looks like an announcement of projections for 2011 (Sales and EBITDA) and an announcement that the acquisition of Holmbergs was completed.

Here’s the Spanish language version of the e-mail:

28 de Febrero 2011

Service Point proyecta obtener ingresos entre €216m y €220m y un EBITDA entre €18m y €20m en 2011

La integración de Holmbergs en Suecia que se completara dentro del marco de su ampliación de capital de €14.5m permitirá incrementar en €15m los ingresos y en €2m de EBITDA sus objetivos en 2011 por lo que contempla obtener ventas por encima de €230m y un EBITDA consolidado entre los €20m-€22m en 2011.

Las claves para la consecución de dichos objetivos son: (i) La reactivación del entorno y actividad económica en los países donde actúa y sus clientes, (ii) los resultados obtenidos al plan de restructuración de las operaciones que permiten mantener costes planos durante los próximos 3 años y (iii) su especialización y captura de clientes en los sectores financiero, educación y publishing y en actividades on-line donde ocupa posiciones de liderazgo.
