The second quarter of 2015 was the Beijer Alma Group's strongest quarter to date in terms of earnings. Profit after net financial items amounted to MSEK 125, corresponding to a year-on-year increase of MSEK 9. The Group's earnings and operating margin were impacted positively by exchange-rate effects, as well as by the extensive changes made to the product compared with the year-earlier period. The operating margin was 13.9 percent (13.4).
Invoicing rose 6 percent during the quarter. However, when adjusted for acquisitions and exchangerate effects, invoicing fell 3 percent. The pattern noted in earlier quarters continued. Operations that are dependent on the general economic trend were relatively stable and sales of telecom products were weak, while Lesjöfors's Chassis Springs operations and Habia's sales to customers in the nuclear power segment displayed a high level of growth.
Cash flow after capital expenditures was impacted positively by a reduction in working capital in Lesjöfors and Habia and totaled MSEK 89 (78) for the quarter. Net debt at the end of the quarter amounted to MSEK 402 (255).
Lesjöfors's invoicing rose 21 percent during the quarter. Adjusted for acquisitions and exchange-rate effects, the increase totaled 9 percent. The entire increase was attributable to the company's Chassis Springs operations, where sales rose 26 percent, adjusted for exchange-rate effects. The increase since the start of the year was 14 percent. After a temporary dip in 2014, record-breaking sales were reported in 2015. The company's sales are seasonal by nature and, although the peak season passed in the second quarter, demand in the third quarter is expected to continue to exceed the levels reported in the preceding year.
Adjusted for acquisitions and exchange-rate effects, sales of industrial springs increased 1 percent. All regions reported largely stable invoicing compared with the year-earlier period. However, order bookings were lower than invoicing in the industrial springs segment over the past three months.
Operating profit for the Lesjöfors Group amounted to MSEK 113, compared with MSEK 88 in the corresponding quarter in 2014. The operating margin was impacted positively by the company's increased sales of chassis springs.
Habia's invoicing fell 14 percent in the second quarter. Adjusted for exchange-rate effects, the decrease was 23 percent. This sharp decline was attributable to weaker telecom sales than in the yearearlier period. The comparative data for the preceding year was also record-high. The company's order bookings indicate that demand will improve in the coming months. The company no longer produces telecom products in Sweden and its production equipment has been relocated to China. Once the move is complete, the company's total production capacity will increase slightly compared with previous years, while its production costs will be reduced.
Adjusted for exchange-rate effects, invoicing in the company's other product areas was in line with the year-earlier period. However, order bookings increased to a number of orders received by Habia from
Operating profit amounted to MSEK 18 (22). The operating margin was also slightly lower than in the year-earlier period. This decline in profitability was due to weaker sales of telecom products.
Beijer Tech's invoicing fell 7 percent during the second quarter. This decline was attributable to the Industry business area, while Fluid Technology reported somewhat higher invoicing than in the yearearlier period. Within the industrial segment, weak trends were primarily noted in the operations focused on offshore and foundries. Operating profit totaled MSEK 7, compared with MSEK 14 in the corresponding quarter in 2014. The operating margin also fell during the period.
Staffan Andersson assumed the position as the new President of Beijer Tech in April. Over the past few months, a number of organization changes were initiated and carried out in the company, including the hiring of a new CFO.
We expect the trend in the general industrial segment to remain stable or weaken slightly. However, this will be offset by strong demand in Lesjöfors's Chassis Springs business area and Habia's nuclear power operations. These trends are expected to continue during the autumn. We also expect an increase in demand from Habia's telecom customers during the coming months.

The Group's material risks and uncertainties include business and financial risks. Business risks may include major customer exposures to individual industries or companies. Financial risks primarily pertain to foreign currency risks that arise because more than 95 and 85 percent of sales for Habia and Lesjöfors, respectively, are conducted outside Sweden, while approximately 50 percent of production takes place outside Sweden. Beijer Tech does not have a corresponding foreign currency risk since 70 percent of its sales are conducted in Sweden.
Management of the Group's financial risks is described in Note 31 of the 2014 Annual Report. The Group is deemed to have a favorable risk spread across industries and companies and the assessment is that the risk situation has remained unchanged during the year.
This interim report was prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as adopted by the European Union (EU). The presentation of the interim report complies with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act.
No new or revised IFRS that took effect in 2015 had a significant impact on the Group. Accounting policies and terms of calculation are unchanged compared with those applied in the 2014 Annual Report. Significant accounting and valuation policies are found on pages 52–55 of the 2014 Annual Report.
The fair value of financial assets and liabilities is deemed to correspond to the carrying amount.
The Parent Company, Beijer Alma AB, applies the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities. These accounting policies correspond with the preceding year and with the consolidated accounting policies where applicable.

It is our opinion that the six-month report for the period from January to June 2015 provides a fair overview of the operations, financial position and earnings of the Parent Company and the Group and describes the material risks and uncertainties to which the Parent Company and the companies included in the Group are exposed.

We have reviewed the interim report of Beijer Alma AB (publ) as of June 30, 2015 and the six-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 the interim financial information based on our 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 and other review procedures. A review has a different focus and a substantially more limited scope compared with the focus and scope of an audit conducted in accordance with the International Standards on Auditing (ISA) and other generally accepted auditing practices. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain a level of assurance that would make us aware of all significant circumstances that might be identified in an audit. Therefore, the conclusion expressed on the basis of a review does not provide the same level of assurance as a conclusion expressed on the basis of an audit.
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.
