• Net sales for the quarter amounted to SEK 1,159m (1,124). Operating profit was
SEK 90m (129).

• Underlying net sales decreased by 3.2 per cent, which was caused by weak
market conditions.

• Items affecting comparability amounted to SEK –31m (–32), and consisted mainly
of costs related to the integration process and costs arising from factory
restructurings.

• Cash flow from operating activities reached SEK 58m (164). The decrease is
primarily due to planned increase of inventories related to factory
restructurings.

• Underlying EBITA amounted to SEK 128m (159). The decrease is primarily due to
lower volumes, increased investment in the market and temporary costs within
manufacturing.
