Interim report Q2, April – June 2013

  · Net sales for the quarter amounted to SEK 1,131m (1,212). Adjusted for
exchange rate differences the decline was 4.1 per cent.
  · Operating profit was SEK 54m (–53).
  · Underlying EBIT was SEK 109m (49). The improvement is mainly driven by
realised synergies and factory restructurings.
  · Items affecting comparability amounted to SEK –51m (–103) and consist of
costs for restructurings.
  · Cash flow from operating activities was SEK –23m (125). Change is mainly due
to a build-up of stocks as part of factory restructurings and the impact of
changed payment terms in Italy.
  · The integration process has been essentially completed from an operational
standpoint.
  · The factory restructurings are proceeding according to plan. As announced
earlier, savings will be fully effective towards the end of 2014.
