Sandvik

Annual / Quarterly Financial Statement • Feb 3, 2014

Press release 3 February 2014 Q4 Sandvik Interim report on the fourth quarter and full-year 2013

CEO's comment:

"As we look back over 2013, we can report that it was yet another eventful year for Sandvik during which signifi cant achievements were made despite the prevailing harsh business conditions. The cost base was reduced, focused efforts resulted in inventories

declining for six consecutive quarters and there were several breakthrough product launches. The turnaround at Sandvik Materials Technology has been remarkable. The initiative to optimize our global supply chain and manufacturing footprint over the next few years is ongoing. We have initiated the closure of three units. At the beginning of 2014, we also announced the acquisition of

Varel International Energy Services Inc., thereby creating a solid platform for growth in the oil and gas sector. We are undergoing a change process and we have come a long way in our quest for building the Sandvik of tomorrow – a more fl exible and effi cient company," says Sandvik's President and CEO Olof Faxander.

"In the fourth quarter, the global market situation remained largely on par with the preceding quarter and the dramatic fall-off in demand appears to have been halted. Order intake amounted to 20.8 billion SEK while invoiced sales totaled 21.8 billion SEK. Currency effects and changed metal prices negatively impacted fourth-quarter earnings, and operating profi t totaled 2.4 billion, or 11.0% of invoiced sales adjusted for nonrecurring charges of 1.8 billion SEK.

The Board of Directors proposes a dividend of 3.50 SEK (3.50) per share."

Q4 Sandvik Market development and earnings

Invoiced sales and book-to-bill

Operating profi t and return

Overall, global demand was largely unchanged compared with the preceding quarter. Activity remained high in the oil and gas sector and signs of improved demand were noted in certain other segments, while the challenging business conditions persisted in the mining industry. Order intake amounted to 20.8 billion SEK, fl at compared with the preceding quarter at fi xed exchange rates for comparable units. Invoicing increased by 6% compared with the preceding quarter at fi xed exchange rates for comparable units, largely due to normal seasonality and amounted to 21.8 billion SEK for the quarter.

Nonrecurring charges of 1.8 billion SEK adversely affected earnings. Operating profi t amounted to 0.6 billion SEK, or 2.7% of invoiced sales, despite negative impacts from currency effects and changed metal prices. Return on capital employed was 12.6% (14.7 in the preceding quarter) for the most recent 12-month period.

Market demand in Europe was on par with the preceding quarter with signs of improvement in Germany and parts of Eastern Europe. While mining activity in North America continued to decline, conditions remained positive in the aerospace segment. Demand continued to display a positive trend in Japan, and improved slightly in China. Activity in Australia and Africa remained unchanged at low levels due to the downturn in the mining industry. The market situation for Sandvik Mining, Sandvik Machining Solutions and Sandvik Venture was largely similar to the preceding quarter. Demand for Sandvik Materials Technology and Sandvik Construction developed somewhat positively. The order backlog for Sandvik Construction was written down by 270 million SEK relating to an order in Russia booked in 2010. Acquisitions and divestments made a positive contribution of 1% to order intake although the effect on invoiced sales was insignifi cant. Changed exchange rates had a negative impact of 4% on both order intake and invoiced sales.

Earnings were negatively impacted by nonrecurring charges of 1.8 billion SEK largely related to the supply chain optimization program, while changed metal prices had a further negative impact of 80 million SEK. The SEK remained strong particulary against currencies affected by the weak mining industry, such as the ZAR and CAD, but also the USD and JPY. Currency effects therefore negatively impacted operating profi t by 180 million SEK and by 1,080 million SEK for the full year. Operating profi t thus amounted to 590 million SEK for the quarter, or 2.7% of invoiced sales. Adjusted for nonrecurring charges, the operating profi t margin was 11.0%.

Net fi nancial items amounted to -524 million SEK (-507) and earnings per share totaled 0.04 SEK (0.58) for the quarter.

The tax rate for the fourth quarter was 30.0% (55.4) and 25.8% for the full-year 2013. The fi gures presented by the Group in relation to tax guidance of approximately 25-27% for 2014 are unchanged compared with 2013.

Sandvik Cash fl ow and balance sheet

Production rates were maintained at a lower level in order to further reduce inventories, resulting in a signifi cant release of cash. Increased accounts payable further released cash, however this was partly offset by a decrease of prepayments. Capital expenditure increased compared with the low levels recorded earlier in the year.

During the quarter, the Group's committed long-term credit facilities were renegotiated at better terms.

Production rates were maintained below the level of invoiced sales for the sixth consecutive quarter, resulting in a further reduction in inventories. Meanwhile, an increase in accounts payable was partly offset by a decrease in prepayments as business conditions for Mining Systems were weak. Net working capital as a percentage of invoiced sales thus declined to 27%, compared with 31% in the preceding quarter. Cash fl ow from operations amounted to +2,857 million SEK (+4,520).

Total assets increased slightly compared with the preceding quarter, partly attributable to changed exchange rates and a stronger cash position.

Capital expenditure (capex) amounted to 1.5 billion SEK in the fourth quarter compared with 1.0 billion SEK in the preceding quarter. Capex guidance for 2014 is between 5 and 5.5 billion SEK compared with the fi gure of 4.4 billion SEK for 2013. This expected increase mainly relates to investments in production technology for new generation products and the initiative aimed at optimizing the supply chain.

The workforce was reduced by an additional 433 employees during the quarter for comparable units, the majority of whom worked at Sandvik Mining.

Net debt decreased as a result of the consistent generation of cash fl ow, while the net debt/equity ratio remained at 0.7. Payment for the acquisition of Varel is expected to be made shortly after the closure of the transaction.

This is expected to occur in the fi rst half of 2014 pending standard regulatory approvals and certain environmental due diligence.

Cash fl ow generation from the business and additional borrowing increased the cash position from 3 billion SEK in the preceding quarter to 5 billion SEK, thereby providing scope for a larger debt maturity in February.

Interest-bearing debt with long-term maturity accounted for 77% of the total debt, largely unchanged compared with the preceding quarter. During the quarter, the terms and conditions of the committed long-term credit facilities comprising 650 million EUR and 5 billion SEK were amended with the participation of all 15 relationship banks. The new terms and conditions are more favorable for Sandvik and refl ect the strong positions held by the Group. The facilities remain unutilized.

Cash flow Q3 2013 and Rolling 12 months adjusted for tax payment related to Intellectual Property rights, about -5,800 million SEK.

Activity in the global mining industry remained low, yet relatively unchanged compared with preceding quarters. Orders for Mining Systems declined compared with the preceding quarter due to normal fl uctuations in booking variances. Order intake thus declined by 7% compared with the preceding quarter and 8% compared with the preceding year at fi xed exchange rates and amounted to 6.5 billion SEK (7.7). Invoiced sales amounted to 7.3 billion SEK (9.8). Operating profi t amounted to -480 million SEK (1,203), or -6.5% of invoiced sales (12.3), including nonrecurring charges of 1,250 million SEK.

Actions to adjust costs in response to weak demand are being implemented and plans to optimize the supply chain are progressing.

The earlier indications of stabilized demand could also be observed in the fourth quarter. Once again, cancellations of previous orders did not deviate from normal levels. However, customer decision-making processes are protracted and projects are frequently being extended over a longer period of time. As announced earlier, one major order in excess of 650 million SEK was secured for mining systems in South America. Demand for rock tools, services and spare parts remained reasonably stable as mine production rates were largely maintained.

Invoiced sales declined by 20%

at fi xed exchange rates compared with the yearearlier period as the order backlog decreased. The increase of 6% compared with the preceding quarter is due to normal seasonality. Production levels were further reduced and maintained at levels signifi cantly below invoiced sales. The risk for stock obsolescence was thereby reduced as inventory levels declined by more than 800 million SEK. While this made a strong contribution to cash fl ow, it was partly offset by lower prepayments from customers.

Bad debt losses were negligible.

In response to the weak demand, the headcount was reduced by 442 workers compared with the preceding quarter.

The fi rst phase of the initiative to optimize the supply chain was announced at the end of the quarter. It targets an improved cost structure, more effi cient inventory management and improved capacity to serve customers. The scope of the plan involves the closure of units, including the discontinuation and transfer of operations to other sites. It also implies investment in new sites located in fast-growing markets and the expansion of existing facilities. This initiative, in addition to charges for adjusting the cost base to current demand, impairments and costs resulting from reviews of mining systems projects, entailed nonrecurring charges of 1,250 million SEK. Adjusted for these costs, operating profi t amounted to 770 million SEK or 10.5% of invoiced sales. Changed exchange rates adversely affected operating profi t by 50 million SEK compared with the preceding year.

Of invoiced sales, rock tools and consumables represented 12% (10), customer services and spare parts

35% (32) and equipment and mining systems 28% (34) and 25% (24), respectively. Return on capital employed for the most recent 12-month period was 18.5% (38.5).

Change compared to same quarter last year. The table is multiplicative, i.e. the different components must be multiplied to determine the total effect.

The business conditions for Sandvik Machining Solutions improved compared with the preceding year, and were relatively unchanged compared to the preceding quarter, taking into account normal seasonality. Consequently, both order intake and invoiced sales increased by 4% at fi xed exchange rates compared with the preceding year, each amounting to 7.4 billion SEK. Operating profi t was negatively impacted by nonrecurring charges of 350 million SEK and unfavorable exchange rates (about 80 million SEK) and amounted to 1,084 million SEK (1,265), or 14.7% (17.7) of invoiced sales.

In January, the Group announced the closure of two units under the initiative to optimize the supply chain.

Although there was an improvement in year-on-year demand for cutting tools and products from Sandvik Machining Solutions, it remained largely unchanged from the preceding quarter. The number of working days was on a par with the year-earlier period. There was a slight improvement in European business activity, most notably in France, Italy and Eastern Europe including Russia. Demand was stable on a high level in North America with only small differences between customer segments. The improved conditions noted earlier in Asia persisted in the fourth quarter, most notably in China and, to a certain degree in Japan. Strong demand was noted in the aerospace industry, and the automotive industry improved, predominately in Asia. The energy segment was stable at a high level, while business conditions in general engineering were largely unchanged.

Compared with the third quarter of 2013, the number of employees in the business area decreased by 55, notwithstanding the addition of 194 employees from the acquisition of Precorp Inc., which was consolidated as of 1 October.

The fi rst phase of the initiative to optimize the supply chain was announced in December. The closure and downsizing of production units represent key steps in efforts to address the current overcapacity and reduce production costs. The closures also aim to better align the business area's production footprint with global demand. The closure of the tool holder unit in Sandviken, Sweden and the round tools unit in Norrköping, Sweden, was initiated in January 2014.

Reductions in working capital contributed to operational cash fl ow, which was the strongest to date

for a fourth quarter. Net working capital decreased to 24% of invoiced sales. Earnings were negatively impacted by lower-than-normal production rates, increased marketing costs, currency effects (-80 million SEK) and nonrecurring charges (-350 million SEK). Operating profi t thus amounted to 1,084 million SEK (1,265), or 14.7% (17.7) of invoiced sales. Return on capi-

tal employed for the most recent 12-month period was 26.3% (31.2).

Change compared to same quarter last year. The table is multiplicative, i.e. the different components must be multiplied to determine the total effect.

The market situation for Sandvik Materials Technology improved slightly from low levels during the fourth quarter. Two major orders from the energy segment were secured. Order intake thus increased by 14% while invoiced sales declined by 5% at fi xed exchange rates compared with the preceding year. Adjusted for metal price effects, operating profi t amounted to 430 million SEK, or 12.8% of invoiced sales; a historically high fi gure.

For the fi rst time since early 2011, business conditions improved somewhat for Sandvik Materials Technology during the quarter. While the improvement could be seen in most segments, it was most pronounced in the oil and gas sector. For the fi rst time since 2010, there were signs of improved

demand for products used in the solar energy industry, albeit from very low levels. Due to the consistent growth of the energy segment, it accounted for 40% of the business area's sales in 2013, including products to the petrochemical industry. However, market activity remained subdued for the standard product range, particularly in North America. Demand improved in Europe, partly at the expense of other regions as certain global orders were transferred by customers to their

European-based operations. Overall demand in Asia was stable, but with signifi cant differences between products.

During the quarter, the strategically important new fi nishing line at the Primary Products product area was commissioned. The investment removes the largest bottleneck in the important tube and bar production fl ow, enhances productivity and enables a shift in the product mix towards more advanced products and materials, thereby enabling future growth predominately in the oil and gas sector. On account of the removal of this bottleneck, inventory levels were increased to realign safety stock levels to current demand.

A strong contribution was made to earnings by the consistent business performance achieved as a result of the Step Change turnaround program, increased production

rates and the reversal of operational provisions. Operating profi t thus amounted to 430 million SEK, or 12.8% of sales excluding metal price effects (-80 million SEK). Changed currency rates negatively affected earnings by 40 million SEK compared with the preceding year, although the effect was negligible compared with the preceding quarter. Return on capital employed for the most recent 12-month period was 9.8% (4.2).

Change compared to same quarter last year. The table is multiplicative, i.e. the different components must be multiplied to determine the total effect.

Demand for Sandvik Construction's products improved somewhat during the fourth quarter from the low level recorded earlier, excluding an order backlog adjustment. Order intake declined by 1% compared with the yearearlier period at fi xed exchange rates for comparable units, but increased by 15% excluding the adjustment, and amounted to 1.8 billion SEK. Invoiced sales declined by 7% compared with the year-earlier period and amounted to 2.2 billion SEK (2.4). Earnings were negatively impacted by the under absorption of fi xed costs and nonrecurring charges and amounted to -223 million SEK (83), or -10.2% (3.5) of invoiced sales.

During the quarter, the closure of one production unit was announced under the initiative to optimize the supply chain.

Overall demand for Sandvik Construction fl uctuated signifi cantly in 2013. The negative demand trend noted in the third quarter was reversed in the fourth quarter with visible signs of improvement. Demand in Asia improved from a weak level, most notably in general demand for crushers in China. Activity increased in North America and Europe, predominately in Germany, Turkey and Norway. In 2010, the business area secured an order to supply equipment to a customer in Russia, however, no deliveries have been realised since this date. Following a review during the quarter, it was decided to reverse the

order. Consequently, the order backlog was adjusted downward by 270 million SEK, negatively impacting reported order intake for the quarter. Mobile crushing and screening equipment recorded a strong quarter, while demand for tunneling equipment varied across regions. Demand for tools, consumables and services remained relatively unchanged.

Production rates were maintained signifi cantly below sales levels, and inventories were thus reduced.

The fi rst phase of the initiative to optimize the supply chain was announced at the end of the quarter. It aims to increase the share of products sourced from best-cost countries. Consequently, the business area's production footprint will be realigned. During the quarter, the closure of the production unit for screens and feeders in Chauny, France was initiated. This fi rst phase of the supply chain optimization initiative

entailed nonrecurring charges of 200 million SEK, which included the closure in Chauny. Adjusted for these charges, the operating result amounted to -23 million SEK (83), or -1.0% of invoiced sales (3.5), since earnings were signifi cantly impacted by underutilization of fi xed costs due to low sales and production rates. Changed exchange rates had no material impact on earnings. Return on capital employed for the most recent 12-month period was 1.9% (12.5).

Change compared to same quarter last year. The table is multiplicative, i.e. the different components must be multiplied to determine the total effect.

For Sandvik Venture, the demand trend remained largely on par with the preceding quarter and business conditions remained challenging. Order intake increased by 2% and invoiced sales by 18% compared with the preceding quarter at fi xed exchange rates for comparable units. Both order intake and invoiced sales totaled 1.5 billion SEK, (1.3, in the preceding quarter). Operating profi t improved and amounted to 309 million SEK (235), or 20.1% of invoiced sales (17.4) as profi tability increased for most product areas.

In January, the acquisition of Varel International Energy Inc. (Varel) was announced.

Although market conditions remained relatively unchanged for most product areas and regions compared with the preceding quarter, an improvement was noted from the year-earlier period. Demand increased for powder and recycling products and wear applications. Wolfram´s order intake increased compared with the preceding quarter on account of favorable demand predominately from the machining sector. However, the improvement was even greater when

compared with the weak year-earlier period. For Sandvik Process Systems, strong order intake for food and chemical belts was insuffi cient to offset intensifi ed competition and slightly weaker demand for process equipment.

Invoiced sales amounted to 1,538 million SEK in the seasonally strongest quarter of the year. The increase is partly a result of the consolidation of the German company TechnoPartner Samtronic GmbH (TPS) into the Sandvik Process Systems product area effective as of 1 October.

The volume of net working capital increased somewhat, which is normal in the fourth quarter, but the relative fi gure for net working capital improved due to the higher sales volumes.

In January, the business area reached an agreement to acquire Varel, a global supplier of drilling solutions focusing on drill bits, downhole products for well construction and well completion. The signifi cant acquisition forms a platform that enables Sandvik to enter into the drilling solutions market in the oil and gas sector. Varel employs about 1,300 people, with invoiced sales of 340 million USD. The acquisition price amounts to approximately 740 million USD.

The continued strong profi tability trend for Sandvik Venture was the result of such factors as increased sales volumes and internal effi ciency. Operating profi t for Sandvik

Venture amounted to 309 million SEK (235) or

20.1% (17.4) of invoiced sales, with no material impact from changed exchange rates compared with the preceding year or the preceding quarter.

Return on capital employed for the most recent 12-month period was 9.6% (17.1). Adjusted for nonrecurring charges

in the second quarter, return on capital employed amounted to 12.7%.

Parent Company

The Parent Company´s invoiced sales for the fourth quarter of 2013 amounted to 4,007 million SEK (4,146) and the operating result was 144 million SEK (-284). For full-year 2013, invoiced sales amounted to 15,873 million SEK (16,990) and the operating result was

-687 million SEK (-483).

Income from shares in Group companies consists primarily of dividends and Group contributions from these and amounted to 14,158 million SEK (11,769) for full-year 2013. The tax payment related to the intellectual property rights case negatively affected full-year earnings by about 5,800 million SEK. Interest-bearing liabilities, less cash and cash equivalents and interest-bearing assets, amounted to 19,462 million SEK (20,388). Investments in property, plant and machinery amounted to 1,257 million SEK (1,338).

Acquisitions and divestments

In January, Sandvik Venture reached an agreement to acquire Varel International Energy Services Inc. (Varel). The completion of the acquisition is subject to standard regulatory approvals and certain environmental due

diligence. Varel is a global supplier of drilling solutions focusing on drill bits, downhole products for well construction and well completion. The key customer segment is the oil and gas sector, with some exposure to the mining and construction industries. The acquisition is estimated to be fi nalized in the fi rst half of 2014.

Accounting policies

This interim report was prepared in accordance with IFRS, applying IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. The same accounting and valuation policies were applied as in the most recent annual report with the exception of new and revised standards

and interpretations effective from 1 January 2013.

Full-year 2013

The global business climate fluctuated significantly between segments and regions in 2013 compared with 2012. While a certain improvement was noted in the automotive, energy and aerospace industries, demand from the mining industry declined significantly

as the downturn entered its second year.

In mid-2013, the Administrative Court of Appeal issued a ruling regarding the reorganization of ownership of intellectual property rights dating back to 2005. While having no impact on the Group's earnings, the ruling required Sandvik AB to pay approximately 5,800 million SEK in tax and interest relating to 2005. In January, the Swedish Supreme Administrative Court ruled against granting an appeal for reconsideration of the tax-case related to intellectual property rights. Accordingly the decision from the Administrative Court of Appeal is defi nitive. The decision carries no further fi nancial implications.

In September, Sandvik announced its intention to optimize the supply chain, reducing the total number of manuwill be optimized, reducing the number of production units over the next three to four years. The initial phase aimed at optimizing the supply chain affects about ten production units, predominantly in Europe. Information concerning individual units will be announced on a case-by-case basis. The move targets annual structural savings of approximately 800 million SEK by the end of 2015 at a cost of 900 million SEK charged to the fourth quarter. The next phase is expected to be announced at the beginning of 2015. Additionally, Sandvik Mining is implementing actions to further adjust costs to current demand, as communicated earlier. These actions are expected to yield an annual saving of 500 million SEK and entailed nonrecurring charges of about 400 million SEK in the fourth quarter. A total of 500 million SEK was also charged to the fourth quarter pertaining to costs resulting from reviews of mining systems projects, impairment losses arising from the very low demand for exploration equipment and other non-cash items. Consequently, the fourth quarter of 2013 was impacted by nonrecurring charges totaling about 1.8 billion SEK.

relations including the opening balance for 2012. Sandvik has decided to exclude pension liabilities from its net debt/ equity ratio target from the fi rst quarter of 2013. The target for the net debt/equity ratio remains at <0.8.

As of 2013 the new standard IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement and the amendments in IFRS 7, Financial instruments: Disclosures, have been applied. Disclosures are presented on page 13.

The interim report for the Parent Company has been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and the Securities Market Act, which is in line with standard RFR 2 Reporting by a legal entity, issued by the Swedish Financial Reporting Board.

facturing units over three to four years.

Sandvik's order intake amounted to 84,072 million SEK (97,948), a decline of 10% at fixed exchange rates for comparable units. Invoiced sales were 87,328 million SEK (98,529), down 7% in fixed exchange rates for comparable units. Operating profit was negatively impacted by lower invoiced sales, nonrecurring charges and unfavorable exchange rates, and thus amounted to 8,638 million SEK (13,490) for the full-year period. The operating margin was 9.9% (13.7) of invoiced sales. Nonrecurring charges had a negative impact of about 2,140 million SEK on earnings during the year. Changed exchange rates had a negative impact of about 1,080 million SEK, while changed metal prices had a negative impact of 294 million SEK. Net financial items amounted to -1,885 million SEK (-1,974) and profit after financial items was 6,753 million SEK (11,516). The tax rate was 26% (30) and profit for the period amounted to 5,008 million SEK (8,107). Earnings per share amounted to 4.00 SEK (6.51). Cash flow from operations was 5,133 million SEK (11,892). The Group's investments in fixed assets amounted to 4,185 million SEK (4,820), with company acquisitions accounting for 489 million SEK (39).

** The difference between carrying amount and fair value refers to borrowings.

Sandvik measures fi nancial instruments at fair value or amortized cost in the balance sheet depending on their classifi cation. In addition to net debt, fi nancial instruments include accounts receivable and accounts payable. Financial instruments measured at fair value in the balance sheet are measured using valuation techniques that only use observable market data and thus belong to level 2 in the fair-value hierarchy. A description of the applied valuation techniques and the inputs used in the fair value measurement is described in the most recently published Annual Report. No fi nancial assets and liabilities are offset in the balance sheet. Derivative contracts are subject to master netting agreements and the carrying amounts of derivative assets that are not offset in the balance total 911 million SEK and the carrying amount of the related derivative liabilities total -721 million SEK. No collateral has been received or recognized. In the event of default events with derivative counterparties, assets and liabilities totaling 507 million SEK would be offset due to master netting agreements.
