BE Group’s Annual Report for 2011 published

The Annual Report for BE Group has been published and is available on the
Group’s website, www.begroup.com.

In his Message from the President, Roger Johansson concludes that “the year 2011
commenced with rising demand in all of BE Group’s markets. The positive
development during the first half of the year, weakened after the summer. The
explanation lies in an increased caution among customers due to uncertainty
regarding developments in steel prices and in the economy in general.”

In the outlook for 2012, Roger Johansson, says: “We are well-positioned for
profitable growth through the ventures we have undertaken and the measures we
implemented over the year. Our main priorities during 2012 will be to increase
the yield from made investments and acquisitions, to turn Central Europe into
profitability and to strengthen our positions in the Nordic region.”

The printed Annual Report will be available from the first week of April 2012
and can be ordered via www.begroup.com or by calling +46 40 38 42 00.
