Continued good growth

Second quarter 2014

• Net sales increased by 8.4 percent to SEK 579 million (534). Adjusted for currency effects, net sales increased by 6.4 percent. The increase is attributable to higher market shares for segment International and to higher underlying demand.
• Operating profit increased to SEK 60 million (58).
• Operating margin amounted to 10.3 per cent (10.8). The operating margin was strengthened by higher net sales and gross profit but was burdened by investments within the sales organization.

CEO'S OVERVIEW

During the second quarter, Bufab's order intake, net sales and operating profit increased. The primary reasons for the positive trend were that the market shares rose while the underlying demand also increased. However, it should be noted that the underlying demand for 2013 was weak, especially during the first quarter but increased successively during the remainder of 2013.

It is gratifying that we continue to increase our market shares. According to our assessment, this is a direct result of our growth strategy and our investments in the sales organisation. The growth rate is higher for segment International than for segment Sweden due to a slightly weaker demand in Sweden and the relocation of sales from segment Sweden to segment International due to customers' production relocation.

Our continued investment in growth during the year has resulted in higher selling costs than in 2013. This is in line with our strategy. However, taking into account the economic trend that is difficult to

Jörgen Rosengren, President and CEO

assess, in the near future, we will become more restrained in further expanding the sales organisation.

Improved efficiency is the second pillar of our strategy. During the first half of the year, we succeeded in initiatives, which resulted mainly in reduced purchase prices and lower costs in the logistics chain. The results of these initiatives are visible in a higher gross margin. Work on further efficiency improvements is ongoing.

The third pillar of the strategy is value-creating acquisitions. The evaluation of potential acquisition opportunities is a continuous activity, with a focus on acquisition candidates with growth synergies.

In general, we are confident in our strategy and its results. The underlying demand is currently difficult to assess. However, we see good opportunities to continue to capture market shares. This, combined with continuing stable order intake, means that we have good confidence for the rest of the year.

The Group in brief

SECOND QUARTER

The order intake rose 6.5 percent to SEK 565 million (530). The order intake was lower than the net sales, which is normal for the second quarter.

Net sales rose 8.4 percent to SEK 579 million (534). Adjusted for currency effects, the increase was 6.4 percent. The increase was due to strategic initiatives resulting in higher market shares for segment International as well as an improved underlying demand.

Operating profit rose to SEK 60 million (58). Earnings were positively impacted by the higher net sales, as well as savings in purchasing and logistics, and negatively impacted by higher personnel costs for the sales organisation, primarily in segment International.

JANUARY – JUNE

The order intake rose 7.4 percent to SEK 1,128 million (1,050) and was in line with net sales.

Net sales increased 9.9 percent to SEK 1,131 million (1,029). Adjusted for currency effects, the increase was 8.4 percent. An improved underlying demand and higher market shares in segment International resulting from strategic initiatives were the main reasons for the increase.

Operating profit amounted to SEK 93 million (98). During the first quarter, operating profit was charged with non-recurring costs of SEK 18 million pertaining to Bufab's listing. Adjusted for non-recurring items, operating profit amounted to SEK 111 million (98), corresponding to an adjusted operating margin of 9.9 percent (9.5). Earnings were positively impacted by the higher net sales, as well as savings in purchasing and logistics, and negatively impacted by higher personnel costs for the sales organisation, primarily in segment International.

FINANCIAL ITEMS AND TAX

The Group's net financial items amounted to a negative SEK 1 million (neg: 4) for the second quarter and a negative SEK 10 million (neg: 14) for the first half year. The net financial items were positively impacted by exchange-rate differences totalling SEK 4 million in the second quarter and SEK 2 million for the first half of the year.

The Group's profit after financial items amounted to SEK 59 million (54) for the second quarter and SEK 83 million (84) for the first half year.

Operational cash flow	24	56	34	125

Operating cash flow amounted to SEK 24 million (56). The lower operating cash flow during the period was mainly due to higher working capital, primarily higher accounts receivable and higher inventories resulting from increased sales volumes. In addition to this, accounts payable decreased SEK 13 million pertaining to payment of costs attributable to Bufab's listing on the stock market. The operating cash flow was SEK 34 million (125) for the first half of the year.

The working capital in relation to net sales was 35.8 percent, which is an improvement compared with the year-earlier period, but weaker than the first quarter. Initiatives aimed at optimizing working capital are continuing.

On 30 June, the Group's net debt totalled SEK 611 million (640) and the debt/equity ratio was 56 percent (68).

Segment Sweden

Second quarter January – June

Net sales rose 2.5 percent to SEK 269 million (263). The increase was primarily attributable to an improved underlying demand compared with the year-earlier period. However, the increase was offset by customers' production relocation from Sweden, which had a negative impact on segment Sweden but a positive impact on segment International.

Operating profit amounted to SEK 47 million (42), corresponding to an operating margin of 17.5 percent (16.1). Earnings were positively impacted by a higher capacity utilisation, savings in purchasing and logistics, as well as inventory revaluation of SEK 3 million.

Net sales rose 4.5 percent to SEK 532 million (509). The increase was primarily attributable to an improved underlying demand compared with the year-earlier period. However, the increase was offset by customers' production relocation from Sweden, which had a negative impact on the Sweden segment but a positive impact on the International segment.

Operating profit amounted to SEK 87 million (72), corresponding to an adjusted operating margin of 16.4 percent (14.1). Earnings were positively impacted by a higher capacity utilisation and savings in purchasing and logistics.

Second quarter
