Investments in growth and reduced fixed costs in Europe on Gunnebo’s agenda for 2013


“We see continued good possibilities to invest in growth on markets outside
Europe also under 2013,” says Gunnebo’s President and CEO Per Borgvall. “We will
continue to expand our geographical presence, both through establishment of own
sales companies but also through acquisitions. During 2012 we have also invested
in increased efficiency in our service business, an investment with great
potential to deliver future growth.”

Other priorities for Gunnebo in 2013 is to continue to focus on activities
strengthening the gross margin, take further actions to reduce fixed costs in
Europe and continue to develop the SafePay-business. Furthermore, Gunnebo will
continue to focus on the integration of Hamilton Safe, acquired in 2012, as well
as starting to release synergies from the acquisition.

“Also, the cost structure in Europe is still too high, despite a number of
successfully implemented measures in 2011 and 2012. This is something we will
take further actions to correct in 2013”.

In summary: Gunnebo’s key priorities for 2013

  · Growth
  · Gross Margin improvements
  · Fixed cost savings in Europe
  · SafePay
  · Hamilton Safe (acquired in 2012)
