Very high profitability and solid financial position

Nolato’s report for the second quarter of 2015, which is published today, posts
the company’s strongest ever individual quarter.

• Sales rose by 33% to SEK 1,280 million (965)
• Operating profit (EBITA) increased to SEK 167 million (100)
• Strong EBITA margin of 13.0% (10.4)
• Profit after tax was SEK 125 million (81)
• Earnings per share were SEK 4.75 (3.08)
• Cash flow after investments was SEK -52 million (33)

“It’s very encouraging that our strategic work, which is focussing on
innovation, quality and productivity, is generating results. We are constantly
making market position gains and are becoming an increasingly important partner
for many of our customers,” said Nolato President and CEO Hans Porat.

Nolato Medical’s sales were SEK 365 million (343) and its EBITA was SEK 47
million (46). The EBITA margin was 12.9% (13.4).
“Packaging volumes remained low in Eastern Europe, while price adjustments
resulting from lower raw material prices had a negative impact on sales,” noted
Hans Porat. “Other segments were stable. Our development operations experienced
high project activity and healthy capacity utilisation, which is enabling future
growth.”

Nolato Telecom’s sales rose to SEK 584 million (344). EBITA increased to SEK 101
million (30) and the EBITA margin rose to a very strong 17.3% (8.7).
“Several of our customers’ mobile phone models have been successful on the
consumer market, which generated the significant growth in the quarter. High
volumes and a favourable product mix with a low proportion of materials, in
combination with high efficiency and capacity utilisation, explains the very
strong margin,” said Hans Porat.

Nolato Industrial’s sales rose to SEK 332 million (279) and its EBITA to SEK 34
million (30). The EBITA margin was 10.2% (10.8).
“It’s pleasing that volumes in the automotive segment have continued to
increase, and our growing market share in this business area is having a
positive effect,” noted Hans Porat.

Cash flow was affected by higher working capital needs resulting from the
increased activity and positive development of sales. Cash flow after
investments amounted to SEK -52 million (33).

Nolato is showing very high profitability, with return on capital employed of
31.6% (24.1) over the last twelve months. At the end of the quarter, net debt
stood at SEK 101 million (37), with an equity/assets ratio of 49% (51).
