CEO’s comments

“In Q1 we saw a continued difficult market in Europe. Economic and political
uncertainty means that our customers are delaying and holding back their
investment decisions. Performance in the Americas is underpinned by positive
development, although decision processes for larger investments continue to take
a long time. During the quarter, Asia Pacific reported favourable progress for
incoming orders, and continued good development can be expected.

The decisions we have taken – closure of the factory at Assens, starting up
operations at the new factory in Thailand and the acquisition of EFT, which
reduces our dependence on Europe – are intended to balance the previously
described development and will strengthen Nederman’s position and competitive
edge. We will continue to focus on increasing efficiency, especially in our
European organization”
