"Nederman had a good sales development in the first quarter of the year. Sales grew to SEK 760.6m (724.7). Profitability was also strengthened in the quarter with an operating profit of SEK 48.8m (30.8), corresponding to an operating margin of 6.4 percent (4.3). The positive development of sales was achieved through good growth in the EMEA and APAC, while development in the Americas was considerably weaker. Profitability was boosted, particularly in EMEA and APAC. Incoming orders for the Group as a whole decreased to SEK 731.1m (738.8).
The European market continues to be stable and is characterised by cautious optimism. In the Americas, the market situation continues to be characterised by great uncertainty with prolonged decision-making processes, although there are positive undertones in the USA. In Canada and Mexico, uncertainty has increased about the US administration's intentions, particularly in regard to a possible renegotiation of the NAFTA trade agreement. The uncertain situation in the region is expected to continue for several quarters to come.
Our greatest challenge continues to be the uncertainty around sales of major projects in the USA and China. Demand in the USA has been affected by a downturn in industrial production in 2016. In China, we see lower economic activity, which limits the number of major investments and the economic development in the country continues to be difficult to assess. In the longer-term, however, Nederman sees future business opportunities in China due to increased environmental awareness.
In the Americas, development was generally weak in all markets, while many countries in EMEA saw good growth. With the exception of China, the majority of markets in APAC developed positively in the quarter. Growth was particularly marked in India and Australia. In Australia, the business climate has improved recently with rising optimism for the future.
Overall, the first quarter of the year was a good quarter for Nederman with good growth in both sales and earnings."
Americas reported a weak performance during the first quarter of the year. Incoming orders decreased organically by 19.2 percent to SEK 275.2m (312.6). Sales decreased organically by 11.2 percent to SEK 316.9m (330.0). Despite the weak sales trend, profitability in the quarter strengthened with an adjusted operating profit of SEK 34.9m (34.4), corresponding to an adjusted operating margin of 11.0 percent (10.4).
The US market is characterised by an extended period of declining industrial production and investments. Despite continued uncertainty regarding trade and environmental policies some positive undertones can be discerned in the market. This uncertainty, which is expected to continue for a while, has led to postponements in demand for large systems. Possible changes to the NAFTA agreement between the United States, Canada and Mexico have had a delaying impact on a number of projects.
The Brazilian economy remains weak and many investment decisions are being deferred. In the long-term, it is thought that the authorities' stricter requirements for compliance with the country's environmental laws will have a positive effect on demand for Nederman's products and solutions, but this quarter saw weak demand, particularly from the metals industry. Other market segments were slightly stronger.
The US market continues to be characterised by prolonged decision-making processes for major projects, which has had a significant negative effect on Nederman's sales of larger systems. The aftermarket showed considerable strength, possibly as a consequence of the low willingness to invest. If the Trump administration succeeds in its ambitions to gain political support for its large infrastructure program and a business-friendly tax reform, this should stimulate investment in the long term and provide an incentive for increased production.
Strong development of the service segment in the USA. Fewer major projects. Increased uncertainty in Canada and Mexico.
The market was weak in Canada too, partly as a result of the great uncertainty about how decisions of the new US administration will affect Canadian exports to the USA.
Brazil and Mexico also experienced a weak performance in the quarter. Brazil continues to be characterised by low economic activity and the Mexican economy has been hit hard by the more protectionist US policy.
Incoming orders amounted to SEK 275.2m during the quarter. Organically, this corresponds to a decrease of 19.2% compared with the first quarter of 2016.
Net sales during the quarter amounted to SEK 316.9m. Organically, this corresponds to a decrease of 11.2% compared with the first quarter of 2016.

EMEA had a positive performance during the first quarter of the year. Incoming orders grew organically by 3.7 percent to SEK 349.8m (335.0), while sales increased organically by 11.0 percent to SEK 361.2m (322.5). Profitability was also strengthened in the quarter with an adjusted operating profit of SEK 37.6m (23.7), corresponding to an adjusted operating margin of 10.4 percent (7.3). EMEA's investment in digital sales channels developed well in the quarter and generated growth in incoming orders.
There are no clear signs of economic recovery within the EMEA. Industrial investment remains at a low level, but the impression is still that some recovery is starting to take place. The long-term effects of the UK's decision to leave the EU are difficult to assess, and the political situation in Turkey and the conflict in Syria continue to have a strong negative impact on sales in this part of EMEA.
A number of countries posted a positive performance in the quarter. The Benelux countries showed good growth, driven primarily by developments in the Netherlands. Southern Europe also performed well, partly thanks to double-digit growth in Spain where two medium-sized orders from the aerospace industry were booked in the quarter. The development in France was slightly weaker than in the corresponding quarter in 2016.
The Nordic countries posted a positive performance after strong development in Norway and good sales in core business in Denmark. Core business also saw good performances in countries such as Poland and the Czech Republic, and in several of the operating segment's distributor markets.
The UK booked a large order for an aluminium smelter, which, together with the continued growth of the core business, led to double-digit growth in the quarter.
In Germany, orders fell in comparison with the first quarter of 2016 as the number of medium-sized orders was lower than
Positive development in several markets. Good growth within the service business. Digital sales channels are becoming increasingly important.
in the corresponding period in 2016. A large order for recovery of special metals was booked in the quarter.
The sales service segment continued to grow during the first quarter of 2017, compared with both the previous quarter and compared to Q1, 2016.
Incoming orders amounted to SEK 349.8m during the quarter. Organically, this corresponds to an increase of 3.7% compared with the first quarter of 2016.
Net sales during the quarter amounted to SEK 361.2m. Organically, this corresponds to an increase of 11.0% compared with the first quarter of 2016.

APAC had a positive performance during the first quarter of the year. Incoming orders grew organically by 11.2 percent to SEK 106.1m (91.2), while sales increased organically by 9.1 percent to 82.5m (72.2). Profitability strengthened in the quarter with an adjusted operating profit of SEK -6.7m (-13.2), corresponding to an adjusted operating margin of -8.1 percent (-18.3). The goal for 2017 is that APAC will show a positive full-year result.
There are good opportunities within the APAC although some industrial segments are currently characterised by weak demand and prolonged decision-making processes. This applies not least to the commodity-intensive countries. In China, the new environmental legislation and other governmental initiatives mean a greater focus on environmental issues. It will in particular be a focus on pollutant emissions and industries at risk of combustible explosion hazards. However, there is inertia before the new legislation will lead to actual investments. India and Australia continue to show good growth.
The positive development in the quarter is the result of good growth in orders in most of the region's markets. In Australia, the positive trend from the previous quarter continued and the Australian market is characterised by a generally improved business climate, which over time is expected to increase sales opportunities for large and medium-sized projects. Incoming orders also developed well in the Indian market, which again showed strength after a weaker fourth quarter in 2016.
Southeast Asia posted a slight improvement in orders, as a result, among other factors, of the more stable than expected political situation in Thailand.
Positive trend in India. Continued weak development in China. Positive signs in Australia.
There are signs that China will develop positively in 2017, but the market during the first quarter of 2017 continued to be cautious with a slower expansion of industrial production, resulting in a decrease in incoming orders.
Incoming orders amounted to SEK 106.1m during the quarter. Organically, this corresponds to an increase of 11.2% compared with the first quarter of 2016.
Net sales during the quarter amounted to SEK 82.5m. Organically, this corresponds to an increase of 9.1% compared with the first quarter of 2016.

The situation in Europe is stable with a positive development of Nedermans product, service and smaller solution sales, also named core business. In the US, we also see a continued stable development of sales of the core business, while uncertainty surrounding major projects is expected to continue for
some time. In China, economic activity is lower than before, which limits the number of major investments and the economic development in the country is difficult to assess at the moment.
Incoming orders during the quarter amounted to SEK 731.1m (738.8). Organically, this corresponds to a decrease of 4.8% compared with the corresponding quarter of 2016.

Adjusted operating margin was 6.4% (4.3).
Profit before tax increased to SEK 45.1m (28.4).

Nederman's expertise and turnkey solutions within industrial air filtration protect people, machinery and the environment from the harmful effects of industrial processes. In this way Nederman helps to create safe work spaces, efficient production and significant environmental benefits. This interplay between health, environment and efficiency comes together to form the concept of eco-efficiency.
Eco-efficiency means that we contribute to both economic efficiency and long-term sustainable production. In terms of economy, it is about high production efficiency and product quality, machinery that has a long life and minimised environmental costs. From an environmental perspective it is about benefits from reduced emissions, more efficient use of materials and recycling, and lower energy consumption.
Nederman's customers are found in industries such as metal, wood and composite processing, food processing, pharmaceutical production, waste management, agriculture, textile industry, chemical industry, process industry, power generation and the automotive aftermarket.
Nederman has a strong global presence in regard to both sales and manufacturing. Sales are conducted through its own sales companies and distributors in over 50 countries. The main focus of sales is in Europe and North America, but Nederman is also active in a number of markets in Asia and South America. Manufacturing is carried out on five continents. Turnover in 2016 amounted to SEK 3.1 billion.
Nederman's aim is to achieve a sales growth of 8-10 percent over a business cycle and that an operating margin of at least reach 10 percent shall be achieved. To achieve these goals, Nederman is focusing on four priority areas:
During the last five years, sales growth has averaged 9.4 percent, which is within the goal of 8-10 percent. During the period, the adjusted operating margin varied between 6.4 and 8.5 percent and in 2016 amounted to 8.1 percent. The average dividend during the period was 46 percent of net profit.
Nederman's sales model is divided into three segments in order to deliver solutions to customers' challenges as effectively as possible.
Product sales Nederman has a wide range of standard products that solve common problems related to smoke, gas, dust, materials recycling, the working environment and efficient production.
Solutions Nederman's solutions are designed to solve more complex tasks and specific customer problems. Business activities include careful preliminary study of the customer's business operations and needs, planning and system design, installation, commissioning and training.
Service and aftermarket Service is an integral part of Nederman's offering and a focus area for growth. By offering qualified service with good availability, Nederman helps to ensure continuous operation without expensive interruptions to customers' production.

*) The Group holds financial instruments in the form of currency futures that are recorded at fair value in the balance sheet. The fair value of currency futures is determined by discounting the difference between the contracted forward rate and the forward rate that can be subscribed on the closing date for the remaining contracted period. Discounting is made using market rates. The fair value for all contracts has been determined from directly or indirectly observable market data, i.e. level 2 according to IFRS 7. For other financial instruments, the fair value and the book value are materially consistent. For further information, refer to note 24 in the 2016 Annual Report.
The acquisition analysis of the 2015 acquisition of National Conveyors Company Inc. (NCC) has been adjusted by SEK 5.2m primarily due to the adjustment of the purchase price after the final calculation of net working capital. The adjustment has reduced goodwill by the same amount.
In addition to information on our reported IFRS results, we provide certain information on an underlying business performance basis. We believe that our underlying business performance measures provide meaningful supplemental information to both management, investors and other stakeholders. These underlying business performance measures should not be viewed in isolation or as substitutes to the equivalent IFRS measures, but should be used in conjunction with the most directly comparable IFRS measures in the reported results. This is a consistent application compared to previous periods. The following underlying business measures are used:
Adjusted operating profit Adjusted operating margin EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA
