Interim report July - September 2013


"Continuing stable performance"

“Trelleborg has once again reported a favorable quarter. The underlying
operating profit grew strongly and the corresponding margin was the highest to
date for a single quarter. Organic sales rose 5 percent year-on-year. The
majority of geographic markets displayed positive organic growth and most of
Trelleborg’s market segments performed favorably.

“Our continuous improvement efforts, combined with the strong market positions
we command, have created a strong and stable base upon which we can generate
value. The increased sales volumes in the quarter yielded high margins, from
both an historical and seasonal perspective. During the quarter, we completed a
technology acquisition that strengthens our offering in the growing offshore
natural gas market. The pace of innovation remains high in the Group.

“Trelleborg recorded an unusually positive third quarter, which deviated to a
certain extent from the seasonal variations normally experienced. This was
partially attributable to favorable project deliveries that were non-recurring
in nature. For the fourth quarter, our collective assessment is that demand will
once again follow historical seasonal variations, albeit from higher levels in
relation to past years. As before, market outlooks remain uncertain. We are
monitoring economic developments closely and have a continued high level of
preparedness to address fluctuating market conditions,” says Peter Nilsson,
President and CEO.
