Quarter 4, 2015 – Strong finish in net sales
*) adjusted for currency effects and acquisitions
"In 2015 the Group further strengthened its position in the Americas operating segment through organic growth of 13%. Above all it was the important USA market that developed well. In the EMEA operating segment for the first time since 2011 we saw organic growth, which for the full year reached 3%. The completed programme of efficiency improvements contributed to strong profitability within the EMEA segment. The APAC operating segment was affected by weaker demand in 2015 and incoming orders in the region fell over the year by around 14%.
The final quarter of 2015 ended with good levels of invoicing in the Americas and EMEA, while APAC fell back compared to the corresponding period in 2014. Incoming orders in the quarter declined slightly compared with the same quarter last year, which is related to lower volumes in all operating segments.
The Group's profitability developed strongly in 2015. The adjusted operating profit for the full year was SEK 263.1m (200.7), which meant an operating margin of 8.2% (7.1). Earnings per share climbed by around 60% to reach SEK 13.07 (8.05) for the full year.

For the first time since 2011 we have seen growth in incoming orders on a full-year basis in EMEA. Together with the efficiency improvements that were completed in 2015 this has meant a strong development in profitability in the operating segment.
The efficiency improvement measures announced in Q1 2014 were implemented as planned and have now been concluded. In connection with the conclusion of this programme, additional areas for improvement have emerged in the sales and support structure, as we announced in our Q3 report.
Structural growth in the quarter and the effects on the figures for the full year are related to the acquisition of Filtac AB as of 1 September 2015. We expect that this unit will contribute to growth in the operating segment going forward.
The Nordic region reported positive development again in the fourth quarter with strong incoming orders and invoicing compared with the corresponding period last year. The positive development was the result of good sales in base business in all three countries, Sweden, Norway and Denmark.
Incoming orders in the Benelux region continued their positive development. In Belgium, incoming orders fell back slightly, which was compensated by stronger development in the Netherlands, which shows signs of some recovery.
Both incoming orders and invoicing progressed well during the quarter in The Czech Republic and Slovakia. Growth is primarily dependent on good demand from suppliers to the major automotive manufacturers in the region.
In the UK and Ireland, which had positive development in the first half of 2015, both incoming orders and invoicing were weaker than the same period last year. No larger projects were booked during the quarter.
Base business progressed positively in Germany during the quarter, but the lack of large projects meant that incoming orders in the period in total were weaker than the corresponding quarter in 2014. Invoicing volumes progressed positively during the quarter.
Incoming orders in Southern Europe during Q4 were down on the same period last year due to the fact that Spain could not repeat the very strong level of incoming orders reported in the corresponding quarter of 2014.

Incoming orders for the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 354.6m, which is a decrease of 2.2 per cent adjusted for currency effects and acquisitions, compared to the same period last year.
Incoming orders for the whole year increased by 3.3 per cent adjusted for currency effects and acquisitions, compared to the previous year.
Net sales for the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 406.5m, which is an increase of 1.7 per cent adjusted for currency effects and acquisitions, compared to the same period last year.
Net sales for the whole year decreased by 1.1 per cent adjusted for currency effects and acquisitions, compared to the previous year.
The Asia Pacific (APAC) operating segment saw lacklustre development in Q4, mainly due to weak demand in China and parts of South East Asia.
The market in China was cautious, with slow growth in industrial production during the quarter, which resulted in reduced incoming orders and sales. New environmental legislation that came into force on 1 January 2016 is expected to increase demand from heavy industry. This is an area where Nederman already has a good position as a supplier to smelters and foundries. During 2015 a successful effort was made to enter the market for flue gas condensation equipment at district heating plants and the market for coal handling in the steel industry.
The Indian market developed well in Q4. This development is the result of Nederman's competitive strength based on increasing the amount of locally purchased components and local assembly added to a generally stronger economy in the country. Improved competitiveness has given Nederman access to new customer segments while growth continues in the company's traditional segments.
Development in South East Asia was mixed during the quarter. Very strong progress was made in Indonesia with advances in positions made among local companies and through foreign investors. In Thailand and Malaysia the market was much weaker due to significant uncertainty in the local economies.
In Australia the market continues to be affected by low demand in the raw materials sector. Significant improvement in the market situation is not expected in coming quarters.

Incoming orders for the whole year decreased by 14.4 per cent adjusted for currency effects and acquisitions, compared to previous year.

During 2015 Nederman continued to strengthen its market presence in the Americas operating segment. Organic growth of 12.5% in incoming orders is highly positive and all markets with the exception of Canada contributed to this growth.
Incoming orders in Q4 fell back slightly, affected by lower demand in certain segments of the market.
Profitability, which fell during Q3, returned as planned to the levels we had seen earlier in the year.
In the USA a fall in demand was noted in some market sectors, including energy, in Q4. At present it is hard to judge whether this development will last. For the year as a whole, development in the USA was strong in all areas. Several interesting opportunities exist in the production activity that is returning to the country, including the textiles and timber industries.
Nederman continues to expand its sales network in the USA in order to further strengthen its market positions. During the quarter Nederman acquired National Conveyors Company Inc. (NCC), which is active in products and systems for separation, transport and handling of metal scrap and systems for handling ash and lime. The acquisition means that Nederman gains increased access to the North American machining market.
Incoming orders in Canada developed weakly in Q4 compared with the same period in 2014. Demand was affected by low prices for raw materials and reduced enthusiasm for investment.
Despite weak macro-economic development in Brazil, Nederman continued to strengthen its market position and reported another strong quarter. Customers are primarily major international companies that have production in the country. The positive development is the result of several years of investment in reinforcing market presence, competence and local assembly. Tougher controls by public authorities on conformance with working environment requirements and lower emissions are also having positive effects for Nederman.
Establishment of a stronger sales structure proceeded according to plan in Mexico. The country's economy is generally good and Nederman is starting to see positive development in this country. Market share remains low, but Nederman's offer suits the industrial structure in Mexico where many international companies have rising demands for improvements in the working environment and lower emissions.

No significant events have occurred after the closing date.
During the quarter Nederman acquired 100% of the shares in National Conveyors Company Inc. (NCC), a company active in products and systems for separation, transport and handling of metal scrap and systems for handling ash and lime.
NCC fits very well with Nederman's existing machining business and will give Nederman entry to the North American machining market. Further synergies between NCC and Nederman have also been identified in the area of equipment for handling of lime and ash, which is commonly utilized in Nederman's filter solutions for the foundry and steel making industries. NCC has revenues of around SEK 50m and has 17 employees. NCC was incorporated in the Nederman Group from 5 November 2015.
The integration of Filtac AB, which was acquired in September 2015, is proceeding according to plan.
At the start of February 2016 Nederman introduced a new product range for efficient oil mist filtration. These products are based on Filtac's patent-pending FibreDrain™ technology that has been specifically deigned for continuous operation.
The extended programme for continued efficiency improvements and resource optimisation in the EMEA and APAC operating segments that was announced in our Q3 report is continuing as planned.
Investment in European industry remains at historically low levels, which will continue to mean that relatively few large projects will be initiated. Some stabilization can be noted in the underlying basic business even though the situation in Europe is different from country to country. The assessment is that growth in Europe will remain at low levels.
In the Americas risks remain in the economies of Brazil and Canada, which are reliant on raw materials. On the important USA market a downturn in industrial production has been noted since late autumn 2015. Nederman also noted lower demand in some segments in Q4. It is too early to say whether this situation will remain. There is still a good level of quotations and business opportunities on the USA market.
In the APAC region Nederman is dependent on the development in China. Industrial production has cooled down while the authorities have increased their demands for measures that generate environmental improvements. Among other developments, China has introduced new and stricter environment legislation as of 1 January 2016. It remains our assessment that demand for investment in environmental improvements is considerable.
The Board proposes a dividend of SEK 5.00 per share (4.00).
Incoming orders were SEK 732.2m (739.1), which adjusted for currency effects and acquisitions, was a decrease of 5.2 per cent compared to the same quarter last year.
Net sales amounted to SEK 898.6m (806.9), which adjusted for currency effects and acquisitions, was an increase of 2.6 per cent compared to the same quarter last year.
The Group's operating profit for the quarter was SEK 88.2m (77.6). Adjusted for acquisition costs and restructuring costs, the operating profit was SEK 89.1m (82.6), giving an adjusted operating margin of 9.9 per cent (10.2).
The profit before tax increased to SEK 82.2m (68.5). The net profit was SEK 61.3m (47.0), giving earnings per share of SEK 5.24 (4.02).
Capital expenditure during the quarter was SEK 16.0m (15.5).
Incoming orders were SEK 3,171.8m (2,764.8), which adjusted for currency effects and acquisitions is an increase of 4.4 per cent.
Net sales amounted to SEK 3,198.0m (2,826.9), which adjusted for currency effects and acquisitions is an increase of 1.7 per cent.
The operating profit for the period was SEK 242.0m (165.7). Adjusted for acquisition costs and restructuring costs, the operating profit was SEK 263.1m (200.7), giving an adjusted operating margin of 8.2 per cent (7.1).

Cash flow amounted to SEK -68.4 million (39.3). Cash flow was positively affected by an improved operating profit, but in somewhat greater extent negatively affected by changes in working capital. Cash flow was also impacted by the acquisitions and increased investments.
Capital expenditure during the period was SEK 67.0m (39.3), of which capitalised development costs amounted to SEK 7.9m (1.8). The higher investment level was due to the Group's investment in buildings and machinery in the Americas, the development of the IT system and investment in machinery in the EMEA segment.
Liquidity: At the end of the period, the Group had SEK 261.4m in cash and cash equivalents as well as SEK 89.2m in available but unutilised overdraft facilities. In addition, there was a credit facility of SEK 344.5m, which is a part of Nederman's loan agreement with SEB and a further loan facility of SEK 268.3m within Nederman's loan agreement with SHB. Nederman has during the quarter entered into a new agreement with SEB regarding a revolving credit facility amounting to SEK 1 000.0m.
The equity in the Group as of 31 December 2015 amounted to SEK 837.1m (733.3). An ordinary dividend of 4.00 SEK per share was paid to shareholders in the second quarter, amounting in total to SEK 46.7m. The total number of shares outstanding was 11,681,340 at the end of the period.
The equity/assets ratio for the Group was 32.6 per cent as of 31 December 2015 (30.9). The net financial debt/equity ratio, calculated as net debt in relation to equity was 75.9 per cent (75.9).
The average number of employees during the year was 1,833 (1,803). The number of employees at the end of the period was 1,916 (1,902).
The Nederman Group and the parent company are exposed to a number of risks, mainly due to purchasing and selling of products in foreign currencies. The risks and uncertainties are described in detail in the Directors' Report on page 41 and in note 24 of the 2014 Annual Report. No circumstances have arisen to change the assessment of identified risks.
According to guidelines adopted by the AGM, a nominations committee has been appointed comprising Göran Espelund (chairman), Lannebo Fonder, Anders Mörck, Investment AB Latour, Sophia Pettersson, Ernström & Co and the Chairman of the board Jan Svensson ahead of the AGM in 2016. For questions concerning the work of the nominations committee, please contact: [email protected]
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and applicable provisions of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The report for the parent company has been prepared in accordance with Swedish Annual Accounts Act chapter 9 and RFR 2. The same accounting policies and valuation principles, except for amendments mentioned below, as described in the annual report 2014, pages 48- 52 applies both to the Group and the parent company. From 1 June 2015 financial instruments will be reported in accordance with hedge accounting rules in IAS 39.
A number of new standards and amendments of interpretations and existing standards have entered into force in 2015. None of these changes are expected to have any significant effect on the consolidated financial reports.
IFRS 15, with application for the fiscal year beginning 1 January 2018 at the earliest, will not have any significant effect on reporting of consolidated income, although the Group will be affected by greater requirements for disclosure.
IFRS 9, with application for the fiscal year beginning 1 January 2018 at the earliest, will not have any significant effect on reporting of financial instruments.
All derivatives are initially recognized and subsequently measured at fair value in the balance sheet. When applying hedge accounting, the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, as well as the assessment of hedge effectiveness, are documented both at the beginning of the transaction and ongoing. Effectiveness is the degree to which the hedging instrument offsets changes in value of the hedged item's fair value or cash flow.
If the hedge accounting criteria are met, the effective portion of changes in fair value on revaluation of derivatives intended for cash flow hedges are reported in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the hedging reserve in equity. The cumulative gain or loss recognized in the hedging reserve is reversed to profit or loss in the same period as the hedged cash flow affects the result. Any ineffective portion of the change in value is recognized directly to profit or loss.
If the hedging relationship is interrupted and cash flow is still expected to occur, the accumulated value change in the hedging reserve is reported until the cash flows attributable to the hedged item affect profit or loss. In cases where the forecast cash flow that forms the basis of the hedging transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative change in value recognized in the hedging reserve is transferred directly to profit or loss.
The Group has 2014 chosen to reclassify depreciation of research and development projects, to the extent to which they relate to product development, as costs for sold goods. Comparable figures relating to the reclassification have been adjusted. This has meant that research and development costs in 2014 have been reduced by SEK 1.5m and costs for sold goods have increased by the same amount.
The Board and CEO confirm that the interim report provides a true and fair overview of the Parent Company and the Group's operations, position and earnings and describes the material risks and uncertainty factors faced by the Parent Company and the Group.
The report has not been reviewed by the company's auditor.

*) 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 2014 Annual Report.
