Financial Development

1) A 2:1 bonus issue was carried out in May. The comparison figures in the table above have been adjusted for the new number of shares.

Q3CEO's message

In a market characterised by tepid global growth and weak development of industrial production, demand continues to vary between product segments, countries and companies. In this challenging market situation, Indutrade has grown during the year both through acquisitions and organically.

Third quarter

Following a succession of quarters with strong growth figures, growth was slightly weaker during the third quarter of 2016.

During the quarter we completed an investment in a new manufacturing plant for valves in the energy segment. Our operation in the Netherlands is our largest unit in the energy sector and has expanded considerably in recent years. The new plant creates conditions for continued development of our valve programme. The market for valves used in power generation in the energy segment remains strong, and our orderbook is at a favourable level. During the third quarter of 2015 a number of very large project orders were completed and delivered. No corresponding deliveries were made during the third quarter of this year, which is reflected in both invoicing and earnings. In addition, order intake, which varies widely between months and quarters, was lower than in the corresponding period a year ago.

The month-on-month variation in order intake and invoicing was unusually large during the third quarter, where a very weak month of July was not fully compensated by the subsequent improvement that took place in August and September. We believe one reason for this variation and the weak results for July can be traced to the uncertainty created by Brexit, and the UK as a market also showed weak performance during the quarter.

Finland has been a market without growth for many years, but we are now seeing signs of higher demand. Aside from Ireland, with strong growth, our operations in Denmark also continue to develop very positively, both organically and through acquisitions.

For most product segments, demand was largely unchanged compared with the immediately preceding quarter.

To adapt the organisation to the weak market situation in the marine segment, restructuring is being conducted of the businesses that are directly affected.

Acquisitions

Achieving growth through acquisitions is a central part of the Indutrade model, and the pace of acquisition is high. During the year a total of ten acquisitions have been carried out, of which four during the third quarter. Annual sales for these ten acquired companies together amount to a billion kronor. The following companies were acquired during the third quarter: KA Olsson & Gems (Sweden), which is a technology sales company; Vacuum Engineering (UK), which makes equipment for leak detection; Crysberg (Denmark), which develops and makes electronic control systems, mainly for irrigation systems; and Alphr Technology (UK), which makes equipment for automated assembly and control of products in production lines.

Activity remains high in the acquisition market, and we see that Indutrade's business model is attracting many business owners who are considering selling their business.

Outlook

Indutrade's business model remains firm, and we believe that through continued acquisitions of well managed and profitable companies – together with unrelenting work on developing existing companies – we have good prospects for profitable growth also in a market characterised by weak international development.

Johnny Alvarsson, President and CEO

Order intake

Order intake during the third quarter totalled SEK 3,082 million (2,901), an increase of 6%. For comparable units, order intake decreased by 2%, while acquired growth was 9%. Currency movements had a negative effect on order intake of 1%.

During the year we have noted greater uncertainty in the market, which has also led to greater variation in order intake for the Group's companies from month to month and between segments and countries.

The demand situation during the third quarter deteriorated slightly compared with the second quarter. In July, order intake as well as invoicing were considerably lower than in the corresponding, strong month of July a year earlier. Demand strengthened again in the later part of the quarter, but not by enough to compensate for the drop in July.

In Europe, daily sales have been at a continued good level at the same time that our companies have noted weaker order intake related to industrial investments and major projects. The previous, positive trend in order intake in Sweden has levelled out somewhat, at the same time that Denmark continues to perform well. Companies in Finland are reporting an increase in activity from a previously low level. In Norway, demand was stable compared with the immediately preceding quarters. Our companies in Ireland and Benelux are showing good

growth, at the same time that the business situation in Switzerland continues to be challenging. Order intake continued to decrease during the quarter for the companies in the UK, even though the situation stabilised during the later part of the quarter.

For other countries and markets, the trend was unchanged compared with the preceding quarter.

Order intake for valves for power generation in the energy segment was considerably lower than in the third quarter of 2015.

Order intake during the period January–September amounted to SEK 9,570 million (8,853), an increase of 8%. The increase for comparable units was 2%, with acquisitions contributing 8% and currency movements having a negative effect of 2%.

Net sales

Net Sales

Net sales rose 5% during the third quarter to SEK 3,176 million (3,036). For comparable units, net sales decreased by 3%, while acquisitions contributed 8%. Currency movements had a marginal effect on net sales.

Net sales during the period January–September rose 9% to SEK 9,456 million (8,662). The increase for comparable units was 3%, with acquisitions contributing 8% and currency movements having a negative effect on net sales of 2%.

Q3 Earnings

Operating profit before amortisation of intangible assets attributable to acquisitions (EBITA) amounted to SEK 377 million (387) for the third quarter, a decrease of 3%. For comparable units EBITA decreased by 10%, with acquisitions contributing 9% and currency movements having a negative effect of 2%. The EBITA margin decreased to 11.9% (12.7%).

The gross margin for the Group as a whole increased compared with the corresponding quarter a year ago, to 33.2% (33.1%). For the period January–September the gross margin was 33.7% (33.8%).

As in the preceding quarter, earnings performance for the business areas was mixed. The contribution from completed acquisitions was not enough to fully compensate for the drop in earnings noted by all of the business areas in July. In addition, owing to lower deliveries of valves for power generation, together with measures coupled to the challenging situation in the marine segment, earnings and the EBITA margin did not reach the same levels as in the third quarter of 2015.

Net financial items for the third quarter amounted to SEK -20 million (-34). Tax on profit for the period was SEK -63 million (-63), corresponding to a tax charge of 21% (21%). Profit for the period decreased by 1% to SEK

239 million (242). Earnings per share before dilution decreased by 1% to SEK 1.99 (2.02).

Operating profit before amortisation of intangible assets attributable to acquisitions (EBITA) amounted to SEK 1,093 million (1,029) for the period January– September, an increase of 6%. For comparable units, EBITA decreased marginally, while acquisitions contributed 8% and currency movements had a negative effect of 2%. The EBITA margin decreased to 11.6% (11.9%).

Net financial items amounted to SEK -61 million (-78). Tax on profit for the period was SEK -189 million (-172), corresponding to a tax charge of 22% (21%). Profit for the period rose 8% to SEK 687 million (636). Earnings per share before dilution increased by 8% to SEK 5.73 (5.30).

Return

The return on operating capital was 21% (22%), and the return on equity was 25% (26%).

EBITA margin

Key ratios per share were re-calculated after the 2:1 bonus issue was carried out.

Engineering & Equipment

Engineering & Equipment's operations involve sales of components as well as customisation, combinations and installations of products from various suppliers. Business is conducted mainly in Finland.

2016 2015 2016 2015 2015/16 2015
SEK million Jul-Sep Jul-Sep Change Jan-Sep Jan-Sep Change Moving 12 mos Jan-Dec
Net sales 389 373 4% 1,122 1,090 3% 1,498 1,466
EBITA 42 41 2% 95 96 -1% 124 125
EBITA margin, % 10.8 11.0 8.5 8.8 8.3 8.5

Net sales rose 4% during the quarter, to SEK 389 million (373). The increase for comparable units was 3%, while currency movements had a positive effect of 1%.

The market situation for industry in Finland remains challenging, although a slight improvement has been noted in recent months. In addition, a positive trend in industrial production, together with an increase in activity in the construction sector, has generated an increase in order intake for most companies in the business area. Work in recent years on strengthening the market and customer focus, together with completed cost adaptation, has created good conditions for future, profitable growth once demand picks up again in Finland.

Net sales exceeded order intake by 6% during the quarter.

EBITA for the quarter increased by 2% to SEK 42 million (41), corresponding to an EBITA margin of 10.8% (11.0%). For comparable units, EBITA rose 2%, while currency movements had a marginal impact.

Flow Technology

Flow Technology offers components and systems for controlling, measuring, monitoring and regulating flows. The business area includes companies that specialise in various areas of industrial flow technology.

EBITA margin, % 6.6 9.5 7.9 9.7 8.4 9.7

Net sales decreased by 3% during the quarter, to SEK 531 million (545). For comparable units, sales decreased by 2%, and currency movements had a negative effect of 1%.

The companies in the business area are experiencing greater uncertainty in the market. Following a very weak month of July, an improved demand situation was noted at the close of the quarter, where segments like pulp & paper, water/wastewater and construction showed positive development. The weak performance in the nuclear power, marine and offshore segments continued during the third quarter.

Net sales exceeded order intake by 3% during the quarter.

EBITA for the quarter decreased by 33% to SEK 35 million (52), and the EBITA margin was 6.6% (9.5%). For comparable units, EBITA decreased by 32%, and currency movements had a negative effect of 1%.

In an effort to adapt the organisation to the prevailing level of low activity in the marine segment, a restructuring of operations is being conducted in the companies that are directly affected. Costs for this, together with a changed mix, are the main reason for the weak earnings during the quarter.

Fluids & Mechanical Solutions

Fluids & Mechanical Solutions offers hydraulic and mechanical components to industries in the Nordic and Baltic countries. Key product areas are filters, hydraulics, tools & transmission, industrial springs, valves, water and wastewater fittings, steel profiles, compressors, product labelling and construction plastics.

Net sales rose 22% during the quarter, to SEK 385 million (316). For comparable units, net sales decreased by 3% and acquisitions contributed 24%, while currency movements had a positive effect of 1%.

Like the other business areas, order intake and invoicing were considerably lower in July compared to the corresponding month previous year, but recovered gradually during the quarter.

Order intake was level with net sales during the quarter.

EBITA for the quarter rose 12% to SEK 48 million (43), and the EBITA margin was 12.5% (13.6%). For comparable units, EBITA decreased by 11% and acquisitions contributed 22%, while currency movements had a positive effect of 1%.

Net sales rose 7% during the quarter, to SEK 596 million (557). The increase for comparable units was 1%, while acquisitions contributed 6%. Currency movements had a marginal effect.

Demand has varied considerably between the business area's companies for some time. Greater activity in segments such as construction and infrastructure has countered continued weak performance in the steel, mining, and offshore industries. Demand from customers

in engineering has also been slightly lower.

Net sales exceeded order intake by 4% during the quarter. EBITA for the quarter decreased by 7% to SEK 67

million (72), corresponding to an EBITA margin of 11.2% (12.9%). For comparable units, EBITA decreased by 13%, acquisitions made a positive contribution of 5%, while currency movements had a positive effect of 1%.

Measurement & Sensor Technology

Measurement & Sensor Technology offers design solutions, measurement instruments, measurement systems and sensors for various industries. All of the business area's companies have proprietary products based on advanced technological solutions and own development, design and manufacturing.

Net sales rose 30% during the quarter, to SEK 295 million (227). The increase for comparable units was 6% and acquisitions contributed 24%, while currency movements had a marginal effect.

The business area includes companies with own manufacturing and proprietary products, and has a relatively high share of project-related business, and as a result, order intake and invoicing vary between months and quarters.

Order intake and invoicing for most of the business area's companies have improved gradually following a

weak start to the year. Companies with sales to the USA, in particular, have performed strongly.

Order intake exceeded net sales during the quarter by 4%.

EBITA rose 21% during the quarter, to SEK 51 million (42), and the EBITA margin was 17.3% (18.5%). The increase for comparable units was 1%, acquisitions made a positive contribution of 20%, and currency movements had a marginal effect.

Net sales decreased by 4% during the quarter, to SEK 990 million (1,030). For comparable units, net sales decreased by 9%, while acquisitions contributed 8% and currency movements had a negative effect of 3%.

The monthly and quarterly variation in order intake and invoicing remains large for the companies in the business area.

Order intake and invoicing related to valves for power generation in the energy segment were considerably lower than during the third quarter of 2015, which also resulted in a significant negative effect on earnings. For the companies in Benelux and Ireland, demand moved in a positive direction, which countered weaker order intake and invoicing for the companies in the UK. For the business area's companies in Switzerland, the market situation remains challenging, even though earnings have improved compared with the situation a year ago.

Net sales exceeded order intake by 4% during the quarter.

EBITA decreased by 8% during the quarter to SEK 142 million (154), and the EBITA margin was 14.3% (15.0%). EBITA for comparable units decreased by 14%, while acquisitions made a positive contribution of 9%. Currency movements had a negative effect on EBITA of 3%.

Risks and uncertainties

The Indutrade Group conducts business in 27 countries on four continents, through some 200 companies. This diversification, together with a large number of customers in various industries and a large number of suppliers, mitigates the business and financial risks. Apart from the risks and uncertainties described in Indutrade's 2015 Annual Report, no significant risks or uncertainties are judged to have emerged or been eliminated. Since the Parent Company is responsible for the Group's financing, it is exposed to financing risk.

No transactions took place during the period between Indutrade and related parties that have significantly affected the Company's financial position or result of operations.

A

Auditor's review report on interim financial information in summary (interim report), prepared in accordance with IAS 34 and Ch. 9 of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act

Introduction

We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of Indutrade AB (publ.) Corporate Identity Number 556017-9367 as of 30 September 2016 and the nine-month period then ended. The board of directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, Review of Interim Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical

uditor's review report Q3 and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing, ISA, and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Group, and with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Parent Company.

1) Mainly trade accounts receivable

Agencies, customer relations, licences, etc. will be amortised over a period of 10–20 years, while trademarks are assumed to have indefinite useful life. Trademarks are included at a value of SEK 16 million.

Indutrade normally uses an acquisition structure entailing a base level of consideration plus a contingent earn-out payment. Initially, the contingent earn-out payment is valued at the present value of the likely outcome, which for the acquisitions made during the year to date amount to SEK 70 million. These contingent earnout payments fall due for payment within four years and can amount to a maximum of SEK 72 million. If the conditions are not met, the outcome can be in the range of SEK 0–72 million.

Transaction costs for the acquisitions carried out during the period totalled SEK 6 million (5) and are included in Other income and expenses in the income statement. Contingent earn-out payments have been restated in the amount of SEK 21 million (2). Income recognised as a result of this restatement is reported under Other income and expenses in the amount of SEK 20 million (2) and Net financial items in the amount of SEK 1 million (–).

The purchase price allocation calculations for Trelawny Group and Fergin Sverige AB, which were acquired in July and September 2015, respectively, have now been finalised. No significant adjustments have been made to the calculations. For other acquisitions, the purchase price allocation calculations are preliminary. Indutrade regards the calculations as preliminary during the time that uncertainty exists with respect to, for example, the outcome of guarantees in the acquisition agreements concerning inventories and trade accounts receivable.

Acquisitions after the end of the reporting period

No acquisitions have been carried out after the end of the reporting period.

Fair value

The table below shows financial instruments at fair value, based on the classification of the fair value hierarchy. The various levels are defined as follows:

    1. Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities [level 1]
    1. Other observable data for assets and liabilities than quoted prices included in level 1, either directly (i.e., through price listings) or indirectly (i.e., stemming from price listings) [level 2]
    1. Data for the assets or liabilities that is not based on observable market data (i.e., non-observable market data) [level 3]

Derivative instruments consist of currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps. No transfers were made between levels 2 and 3 during the period. Assets in level 3 consist for the most part of holdings of shares and participations in unlisted companies. Fair value is considered to be equal to cost. Contingent earn-out payments have been discounted to present value using an interest rate that is judged to be in line with the market rate at the time of acquisition. Adjustments are not made on a regular basis for changes in the market interest rate, since the effects of these are judged to be negligible. Essentially all long- and short-term loans carry variable interest rates, which is why fair value is equal to the carrying amount. For the Group's other financial assets and liabilities, such as trade accounts receivable, cash and cash equivalents, and trade accounts payable, fair value is estimated to be equal to the carrying amount.

Alternative Performance Measures

In this interim report Indutrade presents Alternative Performance Measures (APMs) that complement the key financial ratios defined in IFRS. The company believes that these APMs provide valuable information to investors and the company's management, as they contribute to assessment of the company's performance, trends, ability to repay debt and invest in new business opportunities, and they reflect the Group acquisition-intensive business model.

Since not all companies calculate their financial key ratios in the same way, they are not always comparable. They should therefore not be regarded as a substitute for the key ratios defined in IFRS. Following are definitions of Indutrade's key ratios, of which most are APMs.

Earnings per share before dilution

Net profit for the period attributable to owners of the parent divided by the average number of shares outstanding. Definition according to IFRS.

Earnings per share after dilution

Net profit for the period attributable to owners of the parent divided by the average number of shares outstanding after dilution.

EBITA

Operating profit before amortisation of intangible noncurrent assets arising in connection with company acquisitions (Earnings Before Interest, Tax and Amortisation). EBITA is the principal measure of the Group's earnings.

EBITA margin

EBITA divided by net sales.

EBITDA

Operating profit before depreciation and amortisation (Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation).

Equity per share
