Alfa Laval AB (publ) Interim report April 1 - June 30, 2015

“Net sales and result reached record levels for a second quarter. Compared to
the corresponding periods last year they increased with 21 and 35 percent
respectively to 10.2 and 1.8 billion SEK. The operating margin also reached a
very good level of 17.9 percent. Through strong cash flows, the net debt to
EBITDA is already below 2. The order intake was 9.1 billion, which corresponds
to a sequential downturn of 3 percent, adjusted for the revaluation of the order
backlog that due to large currency movements impacted the first quarter.

Despite a weak demand from customers within oil and gas, the Process Technology
division only  reported a decline in order intake of slightly more than 2
percent. We believe that we can see a stabilization of the demand within oil and
gas on the current level. For the other capital sales segments the development
was stable to positive. Service showed growth, also for oil and gas.

The Marine & Diesel division showed a sequential downturn, mainly explained by
Marine & Offshore Pumping Systems. The segment was impacted by lower contracting
at the yards and by fewer offshore orders being booked in the quarter. Marine &
Diesel Equipment showed an upturn, driven by a positive demand development for
installation of ballast water systems in existing ships.

Within the Equipment division the order intake increased sequentially, driven by
a positive development for all segments. Industrial Equipment did particularly
well, benefitting from a seasonally stronger demand as well as from a large
district heating order from China.”
