    Rapala VMC Corporation Stock Exchange ReleaseJanuary 27, 2021 at 13:00 p.m. RAPALA VMC CORPORATION STRENGTHENS ITS ROD AND REEL BUSINESS BY ACQUIRING OKUMA BRAND AND ASSOCIATED PROPERTY RIGHTS FROM OKUMA FISHING TACKLE CO. LTD IN EUROPE AND RUSSIA AND CONCLUDES SUPPLY AGREEMENT FOR THE AREA Rapala VMC Corporation (“Rapala VMC“) and Okuma Fishing Tackle Co Ltd (“Okuma”) have agreed that Okuma will transfer to Rapala VMC its European and Russian trademarks and associated intangible assets against a consideration of 8 million USD. Simultaneously Rapala VMC and Okuma have agreed to conclude a supply agreement to buy Okuma branded reels and rods from Okuma. Rapala will commence with the sales of Okuma products to some extent in selected European countries in 2021, but the large scale European wide and Russian launch of Okuma brand will occur in 2022. Through combination of Okuma’s innovation and manufacturing capabilities with Rapala VMC’s strong marketing, customer knowledge and distribution power a solid platform for future growth in Europe and Russia will be created. This combination has no effect on Okuma’s operations or business outside Europe and Russia. Okuma, known worldwide for its high-quality rods and reels, is a Taiwan based company established some 30 years ago by Mr. Charles Chang. The company has manufacturing facilities and R&D centers in Taiwan and China. Okuma has fully owned distribution companies in USA and Japan. Okuma has won Best in Category awards at many recent industry’s ICAST and EFTTEX show’s and is generally recognized as one of the top players in the global rod and reel business. Okuma’s current sales in Europe and Russia through distributors at wholesale value in Europe and Russia exceeds slightly 10 million EUR. Okuma’s product range is very suitable for the European and Russian fishing styles and Okuma will become the flagship brand in Rapala VMC’s current European rod & reel product portfolio. Together with the 13 Fishing brand and other Rapala VMC’s Group brands this impressive product offering will be a winning platform in the region. Furthermore, Rapala VMC will make very strong marketing investments to support the Okuma brand in its growth journey. “Rapala VMC is widely regarded as the strongest distribution company in our industry having the widest and strongest customer base in Europe. Where Okuma excels in new product innovation and manufacturing, Rapala VMC excels in brand building, marketing, operations and customer service. I am confident that Rapala VMC will take very good care of Okuma brand and Okuma’s current customers in the in region. Being able to join Rapala VMC in Europe and in Russia will allow Okuma to concentrate into its core manufacturing and innovation strengths. This marriage will accelerate the growth of Okuma branded business and it will increase the awareness and strength of Okuma brand among consumers worldwide“, says Charles Chang, Chairman and Founder of Okuma Fishing Tackle Co.Ltd. “This is a dream deal for both Okuma and Rapala VMC. Charles Chang and his team have done an excellent job to build the Okuma brand and product portfolio to a highly commercial Rod & Reel offering being able to fight for market share in the largest Rod & Reel categories in Europe. Our sales teams are getting geared up to present in 2022 all European fishing tackle shops the impressive Okuma product range, which will allow retailers to earn a solid product margin and for consumers to learn more about the Okuma brand backed up by significantly increased marketing investments. Our new PD&I center for Rods & Reels in Taiwan, Taichung, headed up by Enrico Ravenni will work closely together with Charles Chang’s PD team to scale up the Okuma product range in rods and combos. We see significant opportunities for growth for Okuma in reels, rods and combo’s in Europe”, says Nicolas Warchalowski, President and CEO of Rapala VMC Corporation. Rapala VMC will initiate negotiations with Shimano Europe BV to end the distribution of Shimano branded products and joint ownership of Rapala VMC distribution companies situated in Russia, Kazakhstan, Czech, Belarus, Hungary, Romania and Croatia.

  • Lumber Buyers ‘Pay Up or Run Out’ Amid U.S. Homebuilding Surge

    (Bloomberg) -- With U.S. lumber prices at fresh record highs, construction companies and wood wholesalers are buying just enough to get by, threatening to make price swings even bigger.Lumber futures in Chicago reached a record $855.10 per 1,000 board feet on Tuesday, having surged more than 30% since Jan. 12. This price surge during what is typically a winter lull has surprised the industry, raising homebuilding costs and forcing many buyers to purchase only their immediate needs. That may filter through to housing prices, while also boosting earnings at lumber companies such as Weyerhaeuser Co. and West Fraser Timber Co.“Everyone knows that current prices are stupid but the choice is either pay up or run out,” Vince Bulic, president of Vancouver-area Yaletown Lumber Industries Ltd., said in a Jan. 22 note. “Comfortable prices do not seem to be on the near-term horizon.”Record-low borrowing rates and an exodus from major cities triggered a homebuilding spree, with U.S. home construction starts in December reaching the fastest pace since 2006, while lockdowns also spurred demand for home renovations. At the same time, mills couldn’t ramp up fast enough to keep available supplies from drawing down.Prices on the physical market have largely tracked the rallies in futures prices, with some time lag, signaling higher prices are yet to come for buyers.U.S. lumber wholesaler and distributor Sherwood Lumber Co., which was founded in 1954, experienced one of its busiest Decembers in terms of volume sold and this activity has continued into January. Not only are buyers facing higher prices from mills, but their delivery times have doubled, said Kyle Little, Sherwood’s chief operating officer.“For the vast majority, it’s very nerve-wracking,” Little said. “They’re trying to discover prices in a highly unstable environment because of accelerated demand.”As a result, “the majority have taken an apathetic approach” and are buying less than usual, with many carrying just 30 days worth of inventory as prices move wildly and speculation proves difficult, Little said. “It continues to feed this fire. We’re on this unfortunate treadmill cycle.”More SupplyWhile some fear there may not be enough lumber for upcoming spring needs, analysts see signs the market stress will ease as the year goes on. Between 2019 and 2022, roughly 4.8 billion board feet of new capacity is scheduled to come on line in the U.S. South, which is ready to fill demand, said Joe Sanderson, managing director of natural resources at Domain Timber Advisors, LLC in Georgia.“A lot of mills have expanded hours, increased capacity and are doing additional upgrades,” he said in an email. “Additionally, a lot of Canadian sawmills are moving to the south and that capacity is coming online already and should be in a good position to take advantage of the reduced Canadian harvest.”Lumber prices are expected to “downshift gradually by year-end” said Omar Abdelrahman, economist for TD Economics, in a note on Tuesday. “Unusual gains in lumber markets are expected to ease as supply continues to respond to the attractive price environment.”For more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2021 Bloomberg L.P.

  • There’s a Bond Vigilante Stalking the Treasuries Market in Asia

    (Bloomberg) -- A Treasuries bear has bulldozed its way through the normally sedate Asian options market.Over the past six sessions, a large trade known as a risk-reversal has been established, buying bearish put options on 10-year Treasuries and selling bullish calls. The bets total 50,000 contracts, a notional value of $5 billion, and stand to profit from a rise in benchmark yields to about the 1.37% level.The strategy can tolerate a drop in yields to near 0.85% level, but a decline below that exposes the investor to losses of over $4 million per basis point. The 10-year yield hovered near 1.04% Wednesday.As the Asian trading session for Treasuries and their various derivatives is typically quiet, the bets stand out as they were executed in blocks, which are less common. This suggests the same investor is likely behind the strategy, and could well be a holder of Treasuries in the region that is looking to hedge a position.The benchmark yield has pared its post-U.S. election surge in recent days, falling to 1.03% Monday from a high of 1.19% on Jan. 12. But the possibility of a Biden administration fiscal-relief package remains, and there is still enthusiasm in the so-called reflation trade that drove yields back above the key 1% level earlier this month.See here for how the Treasury risk reversal was built up to 50,000The bearish wager is at odds with other recent prints in the market. One stand out trade was a sale of options expiring in February, in a wager that yields will remain in a tight range until then.Here is a list of some of the trades in the risk-reversal strategy:(Updates yield level)For more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2021 Bloomberg L.P.
