Fourth quarter and Year-end report 2012


“Full-year 2012 was a good 12 months for Trelleborg. In a turbulent economic
climate, we improved our geographic balance and portfolio of operations and
strengthened our positions. During the year, we formed the joint venture
TrelleborgVibracoustic, which is of major strategic significance.

It is a demonstration of our strength that we are able to report satisfactory
sales, operating profit and operating margin, despite the period that were
underpinned by the considerable unrest prevailing in the global economy in the
fourth quarter. In addition, cash flow developed positively as a result of
efficient management of working capital.

We are seeing signs that the market trend is beginning to stabilize, albeit
uncertainty remains. We are carefully monitoring economic developments and have
a solid financial base and continued high readiness to manage a volatile
market,”  says President and CEO Peter Nilsson.
