Comments by Martin Lundstedt, President and CEO:

“Scania’s earnings for the first quarter amounted to SEK 2,257 m. Both vehicle
and service volume increased, which was partly offset by weaker emerging markets
currencies. Total order bookings for trucks during the first quarter were higher
than the beginning of last year. The negative effect on demand in Europe after
pre-buys of Euro 5 vehicles was less than expected and order bookings increased.
The improved economic situation in Europe together with the replacement need
means that the underlying trend in demand is positive. Scania has strengthened
its position in the European market through increased market share and a leading
Euro 6 range, which is confirmed by Euro 6 tests in the trade press. Order
bookings in Latin America remained in line with the previous two quarters. In
Asia, order bookings improved and in Russia, order bookings increased
significantly. Order bookings for buses and coaches rose in Europe, while they
fell in Latin America and Eurasia. In Engines, order bookings were somewhat
better than in the same period of 2013 and Scania has initiated collaboration on
engine deliveries with another major OEM. Scania is continuing its long-term
efforts to boost market share in Services and revenue increased by 7 percent in
local currencies during the first quarter. Financial Services showed a strong
performance and customer payment capacity is good. The trend in demand in early
2014 indicates a continued high level of vehicle and service volume. There are
also good growth opportunities in the longer term and the expansion of annual
technical production capacity towards 120,000 vehicles is continuing. To
strengthen competitiveness, the level of activity related to development
projects remains high, at the same time as Scania is expanding its sales and
service capacity in emerging markets.”
