Saab reduces outlook for 2008

Saab reduces outlook for 2008

Different factors have had and continue to have an adverse impact on Saab,
mainly through delays in order intake for major international projects and
uncertainties in respect of Swedish defence material spending. Delays in ongoing
major commercial aircraft projects have led to a revised, lower production plan
in Saab's aerostructures business. Also, market development for the technology
business in South Africa is weaker than anticipated.

The factors above, together with continued high marketing expenses for Gripen
due to the strong market interest, have led Saab to reduce its outlook for 2008.


•	New outlook for organic sales growth: 3-4 percent growth compared to as
earlier stated 5 percent  
•	New outlook for operating margin: 8-9 percent compared to as earlier stated 10
percent 

The outlook excludes non-recurring items.

The world-economy remains unstable and continues to have an impact on the total
risk level for Saab.

solutions ranging from military defence to civil security. Saab has operations
and employees on all continents and constantly develops, adopts and improves new
