"Nedermans product, service and smaller solution sales, also named core business, had a solid performance during the quarter within both the EMEA and the Americas with an organic growth in incoming orders of 10.5% and 17.3% respectively. Total incoming orders in the quarter increased by SEK 98m, corresponding to an organic growth of 9.1%. Incoming orders for the full year totalled 2,992.3m (3,171.8), which organically is a decrease of 6.7%.
The European market is deemed 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. The uncertain situation in the region is expected though to continue for several quarters to come.
Our greatest challenge continues to be the uncertainty around sale of major projects in the USA and China. Demand in the USA has been affected by the downturn in industrial production in the last twelve months. In China, we see lower economic activity which limits the number of major investments and the economic development in the country is difficult to assess at the moment. Yet in the long-term, Nederman foresees future business opportunities in China due to increased environmental awareness.
In the APAC region, we completed the final measures relating to cost and structural adjustments in Thailand and Australia. The market situation in Thailand continues to be difficult, but in Australia our measures have had a very positive effect on profitability in this market.
The Group's operating profit in the quarter was satisfactory. Cash flow from operating activities was improved for the full year."
Sven Kristensson, CEO
Incoming orders in the quarter increased by 17.3% at the same time as adjusted operating profit fell to SEK 42.7m (45.3) due to lower invoicing volume. Sales for the full year totalled 1,307.1m (1,379.6). The reason for the fall is fewer major projects in 2016.
The US market continues to be characterised by great uncertainty although some positive undertones can be discerned. This uncertainty, which is expected to continue for some time, together with lower activity within the mining and energy sector, has led to weak demand for large systems throughout 2016. The US industrial segment with the strongest development during the year has been the wood products industry. The Brazilian economy is still weak, but the authorities' stricter requirements for compliance with the country's environmental laws have had a positive effect on demand for Nederman's products and solutions.
The US market continues to be characterised by long-drawnout decision making processes, which has had a large negative effect on Nederman's sales of large systems. During the quarter, the number of potential projects has been low and the overall outlook for system sales in the coming quarters continues to be weak. The housing market continues to perform well in the US, which had a positive effect on Nederman's sales to the wood products industry. Nederman's core business with products and services had a solid performance during the quarter.
Canada had a good performance in the quarter and shows a positive trend for the full year. The positive development is driven, among other factors, by an agreement with a national distributor in the welding segment, which has resulted in a positive effect on core business.
Brazil has been characterised for a long time by low economic activity. Despite this, Nederman has had a relatively good deIncoming orders in the quarter: SEK 359.7m (286.8)

EMEA's strong close to Q3 continued into Q4 with double-digit growth in incoming orders. The strong close to the year also gave organic growth for the year as a whole. Growth during the quarter has been achieved thanks to continued strong development of core business, and also to a good level of system sales. There was continued improvement in profitability for the whole year.
There are no clear signs of economic recovery within the EMEA region. Industrial investment remains at a low level, but the impression is 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 are having a strong negative impact on sales in this part of the EMEA region.
The market in the UK and in Ireland saw strong growth in Q4 with good sales figures for system solutions and a positive development for core business.
In Germany, incoming orders developed positively in Q4 with a solid development for core business.
The Nordic countries saw double-digit growth in the quarter driven by a strong performance in the Danish market.
In the Benelux countries, Belgium posted a strong Q4 while the development in the Dutch market was weaker.
Southern Europe, and especially France and Spain, also experienced a positive development in the quarter.
The Turkish market saw weak development in the quarter. The Polish and Czech markets were also weak during the quarter.
Incoming orders in the quarter: SEK 395.5m (354.6)
Strong growth in incoming orders in the quarter (10.5%) resulted in organic growth for the full year (0.6%).
Incoming orders amounted to SEK 395.5m during the quarter. Organically, this corresponds to an increase of 10.5% compared with the corresponding quarter of 2015.
Incoming orders for the 2016 full year totalled SEK 1,439.4m. Organically, this corresponds to an increase of 0.6% compared with 2015.
Net sales during the quarter totalled to SEK 374.1m. Organically, this corresponds to a decrease of 8.9% compared with the corresponding quarter of 2015.
Net sales for the 2016 full year totalled 1,420.6m. Organically, this corresponds to a decrease of 2.5% compared with 2015.

Nederman is currently carrying out a realignment of its business activities in Asia. In China, developments are characterised by continued uncertainty and low investments while there is cautious optimism in several other Asian countries. Incoming orders in the quarter for the operating segment as a whole totalled SEK 75.3m (90.8).
There are good opportunities within the APAC region although some industrial segments are characterised by weak demand and prolonged decision-making processes. This applies not least to the commodity-intensive countries. In China, the new environmental legislation which came into force on 1 January 2016 entails a greater focus on environmental issues, in particular in regard to pollutant emissions and industries at risk of dust explosion hazards. However, there is inertia before the new legislation will lead to actual investments. India continues to show good growth, particularly within the manufacturing industry which is posting double digit growth.
In China, the market remained cautious with slower expansion of industrial production in the quarter, which resulted in lower order intake and sales.
South-east Asia had a weak fourth quarter. Above all it was the development in Thailand that burdened the region with continued weak demand.
India reported weaker growth during Q4 but experienced a positive trend in 2016 as a whole. The positive development is driven, among other factors, by the general high growth experienced by the country's manufacturing industries.
In Australia, greater economic confidence can now be seen for the first time in several years. Nederman implemented measures to streamline operations in Australia earlier in 2016, which continued to have a positive impact on profitability in Q4. Incoming orders in the quarter: SEK 75.3m (90.8)

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 2015 amounted to SEK 3.2 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 13.6 percent, which is significantly higher than the goal of 8-10 percent. During the period, the adjusted operating margin
varied between 6.4 and 8.5 percent and in 2015 amounted to 8.2 per cent. The average dividend during the period was 48 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. Product sales make up around 39 percent of group turnover.
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. Solution sales account for around 44 percent of turnover.
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. Service and aftermarket makes up around 17 percent of turnover.

*) 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 2015 Annual Report.
The acquisition analysis of the 2015 acquisition of National Conveyors Company Inc. (NCC) has been adjusted by SEK 5.2 million 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
Adjusted EBITDA margin Net debt Net debt/equity ratio Return on equity
Return on working capital Net debt/Adjusted EBITDA Interest Cover Ratio Organic growth
