CEO’s comments

”The Group continued to advance its positions in 2014, especially in the USA and
China. EMEA continued to be affected by a weak commitment to investments.

Q4 ended with good invoicing primarily in APAC and the Americas. Incoming orders
during the quarter developed negatively overall compared with the same period
last year, related mainly to the exceptionally strong final quarter of 2013 in
the Americas. The other two operating segments progressed positively, which
meant that EMEA also reported growth in incoming orders in Q4, despite
cancellation of a larger order for Ukraine.

The Group’s profitability developed well during Q4 and the adjusted operating
margin was 10.2%, mainly due to good volumes and the effects of the efficiency
improvements within EMEA.

The Group’s cash flow was strong in the second half of the year, bolstered by
better profitability and a reduction in operating capital.
