Gunnebo Year-End Release 2013

Comments by Gunnebo’s President and CEO Per Borgvall:

A strong quarter

"Order intake and net sales both developed stably during the fourth quarter of
2013. The order intake in Region Asia-Pacific continued its positive trend with
organic growth of 26%. Region Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) showed a
pleasing organic growth of order intake by 6%. The increase was primarily
generated on EMEA’s growth markets outside of Europe. Federal budget cuts in the
US and a slowdown in the Brazilian economy had a negative impact on the
quarter’s order intake in Region Americas.

For the year as a whole, the Group’s net sales outside of Europe accounted for
40% of total net sales, which is an increase of 4% on last year, despite weaker
currency rates on a number of growth markets. This confirms that efforts to move
the emphasis of the Group’s business from Europe to the world’s growth markets
are proceeding in the right direction.

The Group’s organisation evolved during the quarter. This has resulted in a
stronger region-based organisation which will lead to greater customer focus,
improved market presence and an even sharper focus on growth markets. The fourth
quarter of 2013 is the first quarter in which Gunnebo’s reporting is based on
our three sales regions: EMEA, Asia-Pacific and Americas.

Operating profit for the fourth quarter was MSEK 103, which equates to an
operating margin of 7%. Efforts to reduce the Group’s cost base in Europe have
continued and the quarter has been burdened with restructuring costs totalling
MSEK 30. Excluding these costs, the operating margin totalled 9%.

A number of new products were launched during the quarter. For example, a brand
new product series has been developed in entrance security which has been very
well received around the globe.

We confidently look forward to a 2014 where the Group’s main priorities will be
continued expansion in growth markets, reduced costs in Europe, improved gross
margins and to further strengthen our cash flow."
