the quarter and full-year

In its 2006/2007 year-end report, IT and medical technology company Sectra
reported its best sales and order bookings ever. The Group's order bookings rose
11.6% to SEK 684.7 million (613.7), while its net sales rose 19.2% to SEK 672.5
million (564.4). Profit after net financial items amounted to SEK 70.2 million
(80.7), corresponding to a profit margin of 10.4% (14.3).

Sectra's net sales for the fourth quarter rose 18.5% to SEK 204.8 million
(172.8). Profit after net financial items amounted to SEK 23.4 million (35.2),
corresponding to a profit margin of 11.4% (20.4). Order bookings amounted to SEK
166.9 million (189.6).

“We have strengthened our position in key markets. Due to increased direct sales
and a growing volume of support contracts in the medical systems business area,
we report top levels for order bookings and net sales for the fiscal year,” says
Jan-Olof Brüer, Group CEO and President of Sectra AB. 

Sectra's strongest expansion during the year took place in Scandinavia and in
the US. Revenues from markets outside Sweden rose 17.6% to SEK 431.3 million
(366.9), and net sales from international sales accounted for 64.1% of the
Group's net sales. 

“We have grown in both expansive and mature markets. Despite major costs for the
expansion of our international organization, we report a profit margin of 10
percent, implying that we have also met our profit target this year,” Jan-Olof
Brüer adds.

In the secure communications business area, Sectra achieved an earnings
turnaround during the year, ending with a profit. Sectra has invested in recent
years in development of third-generation Tiger products, Tiger XS. During the
quarter, the Council of the European Union approved Tiger XS, making Sectra the
first to provide an EU-approved crypto product for mobile communications.

“After the development efforts and efficiency enhancements implemented in secure
communications systems during the past year, we are now primed to increase our
market shares in the European markets,” says Jan-Olof Brüer.
