"During the third quarter, the underlying business activity remained largely on par with the second quarter and order intake amounted to 20.2 billion SEK. The lower order levels noted earlier in the year were carried over to invoiced sales which thus declined to 20.4 billion SEK. Efforts to manage working
capital yielded positive results and inventory levels have now been lowered for fi ve consecutive quarters. These activities contributed positively to operating cash fl ow, which amounted to 3.2 billion SEK, when adjusted for the payment related to the intellectual property rights tax case. The net debt to equity ratio was maintained at 0.7," says Sandvik's President and CEO Olof Faxander.
"The strong Swedish krona (SEK) adversely affected earnings by 250 million SEK in the third quarter and by 900 million SEK in the fi rst nine months of the year. Nevertheless, operating profi t totaled 2,531 million SEK, or 12.4% of invoiced sales in the seasonally weakest quarter of the year, despite negative metal price effects and, declining sales and production rates."
"During the quarter, Sandvik launched several important products, setting new industry standards. These included the Pantera line of drill rigs from Sandvik Mining featuring a modular design, and the GC4325, a breakthrough grade designed for steel-turning applications, from Sandvik Machining Solutions."

Business conditions for Sandvik's products remained largely unchanged compared with the second quarter despite the normal seasonal slowdown. Demand in the automotive segment improved somewhat, while activity in the construction industry declined. Order intake amounted to 20.2 billion SEK, fl at compared with the preceding quarter at fi xed exchange rates for comparable units. Normal seasonality and a declining order backlog yielded invoicing of 20.4 billion SEK for the quarter, down 10% compared with the preceding quarter at fi xed exchange rates for comparable units.
Operating profi t amounted to 2.5 billion SEK or 12.4% of invoiced sales despite being adversely impacted by continued negative metal price effects and changed exchange rates. Return on capital employed was 14.7% (16.0 in the preceding quarter) for the most recent 12-month period.
Business activity in Europe was in line with the preceding year, with strong performances noted in the UK and Russia. North America remained relatively stable. Overall demand in Asia improved, most notably in Japan, while the continued low activity in the mining industry continued to impact Australia and Africa. Business conditions for Sandvik Machining Solutions largely resembled those observed in the preceding quarter, albeit with improvements in the automotive segment. Demand fl uctuated in the market segments served by Sandvik Materials Technology, but generally remained at a low level in absolute terms. The book-to-bill ratio was close to neutral for the Group and all business areas, except for Sandvik Construction, where demand for predominately mobile crushing and screening equipment declined. While acquisitions and divestments had no effect on order intake and invoiced sales, changed exchange rates had an impact of -5% on each of these items.
Earnings were adversely affected by the decline in invoicing and reduced production rates. The strength of the SEK compared with most major currencies, predominantly the USD, ZAR, JPY and AUD, impacted operating profi t by -250 million SEK while changed metal prices had a further impact of -90 million SEK. These negative factors were partly offset by cost savings and improved cost fl exibility compared with earlier years, and operating profi t thus amounted to 2,531 million SEK or 12.4% of invoiced sales.
Net fi nancial items amounted to -387 million SEK (-473) and earnings per share totaled 1.30 SEK (1.67) for the quarter.
The tax payment related to the intellectual property rights case was almost entirely matched by provisions and thus had only a negligible effect on reported earnings. The tax rate for the third quarter consequently did not deviate from a normalized level and amounted to 23.9% (26.3). Accordingly, the tax guidance for the year remains unchanged at about 25-27%.
The tax payment related to the intellectual property rights case (tax-case payment) had a marked impact on the balance sheet and cash fl ow. Although the normal seasonal decrease in working capital combined with earnings made a signifi cant contribution to cash fl ow, this was not enough to offset the tax payment. Net debt was affected accordingly as the cash position declined, while net debt/equity remained at 0.7 (0.7 in the preceding quarter).
As is normal for the third quarter, accounts receivable decreased due to the lower sales volume. Additionally, production rates were maintained below the level of sales, leading to inventory reductions. While partly offset by lower accounts payable, working capital reductions released more than 700 million SEK in positive cash fl ow. As a result of the low sales level, relative net working capital amounted to 31%, representing an increase compared with the preceding quarter and the year-earlier period.
The tax-case payment of about 5,800 million SEK had a signifi cant impact on cash fl ow, with cash fl ow from operations thus amounting to -2,571 million SEK (+3,979). Adjusted for the tax-case payment, cash fl ow from operations amounted to about +3,200 million SEK.
The decrease in total assets compared with the preceding quarter was attributable to the dissolution of provisions and a reduction in cash and cash equivalents. The strong SEK also contributed to a decrease in assets due to translation effects.
Capital expenditure (capex) in the third quarter amounted to 1,046 million SEK compared with 909 million SEK in the preceding quarter. This increased investment level is entirely attributable to seasonality. Capex guidance for the year has been further reduced in response to the tentative business situation and is now expected to total about 4 billion SEK.
During the quarter, the workforce was reduced by an additional 264 positions for comparable units. The bulk of this reduction was the result of measures by Sandvik Mining to adjust to a lower level of demand.
Net debt increased as a result of the tax-case payment, but was partly offset by the consistent generation of cash fl ow. Nevertheless, the net debt/equity ratio remained at 0.7, which was the same as in the preceding quarter and the year-earlier period.
The cash position was reduced by a further 3.7 billion SEK due to the negative cash fl ow and amounted to 3.0 billion SEK at the end of the quarter. Expressed as a percentage of total debt, long-term interest-bearing debt was 76%, down from 83% at the end of the second quarter as some loans became short-term in nature. Sandvik has committed long-term credit facilities comprising 650 million EUR and 5 billion SEK with 15 relationship banks. The facilities remained unutilized at the end of the third quarter.
Cash flow Q3 2013 and Rolling 12 months adjusted for tax payment related to Intellectual Property rights, about -5,800 million SEK.

Demand from the global mining industry showed signs of stabilization at low levels during the third quarter. Demand remained stable for rock tools, while project delays and order deferrals by customers affected large parts of Sandvik Mining's product range. Order intake amounted to 7.0 billion SEK at fi xed exchange rates, up 11% compared with the preceding quarter, but down 9% compared with the preceding year. Invoiced sales decreased signifi cantly and amounted to 7.0 billion SEK (8.1 in the preceding quarter). Operating profi t amounted to 858 million SEK (1,506), or 12.3% of invoiced sales (15.9).
Actions to further reduce costs and adjust capacity to the weak demand are being implemented.
During the third quarter, investments in equipment and systems by mining companies remained low. While cancellations of previously booked orders were negligible, the frequent nature of deferrals and delays was unchanged. This pattern was notable in all major markets for Sandvik Mining. Nevertheless, several major orders totaling 1.2 billion SEK were secured for mining systems in South America and Asia. Although the sharp slowdown in the mining industry has affected customer investment decisions, mine production rates have been largely maintained. Consequently, demand for rock tools, services and spare parts remained relatively unchanged.
In October, Sandvik Mining secured a major order valued in excess of 650 million SEK for an iron ore mine in South America.
The order backlog has decreased signifi cantly over the past number of quarters. Consequently, invoiced sales declined signifi cantly by 11% at fi xed exchange rates compared with the preceding quarter and by 20% compared to the preceding year. The book-to-bill ratio was neutral during the quarter. The declining rate of deliveries has prompted a gradual reduction in production levels.
Bad debt losses were negligible and overdue accounts receivable remained at normal levels.
During the quarter, the Pantera line of drill rigs in a modular design was introduced. It brings higher drilling effi ciency and precision, improved safety and reduced environmental impact.
Although negatively affected by signifi cantly lower sales volumes and production rates than in the preceding year, earnings amounted to 858 million SEK or 12.3% of invoiced sales. Changed exchange rates adversely affected operating profi t by 140 million SEK compared with the preceding year.
Further actions to reduce cost levels in response to the weak demand are being implemented. The actions are expected to save approximately 500-700 million SEK on a yearly basis and will entail nonrecurring charges of about 300-400 million SEK to be recognized in the fourth quarter. Of invoiced sales, rock tools and consumables represented 13% (11), customer services and spare parts 38% (32) and equipment and mining systems 28% (38) and 21% (19), respectively. Return on capital employed for the most recent 12-month period was 29.0% (39.3).

Change compared to same quarter last year. The table is multiplicative, i.e. the different components must be multiplied to determine the total effect.
Market activity for Sandvik Machining Solutions improved slightly compared with the preceding year, but remained largely on par with the preceding quarter taking into account normal seasonality. Order intake and invoiced sales thus increased by 3% and 4%, respectively, at fi xed exchange rates compared with the preceding year each amounting to 6.9 billion SEK. The slightly positive demand trend observed earlier in the year in Europe was also noted in the third quarter. Asia improved from a low base while demand in North America slowed somewhat from a high level. Operating profi t was impacted by unfavorable exchange rates (about -80 million SEK) and amounted to 1,454 million SEK (1,343).
The overall demand situation remained relatively unchanged compared with the preceding quarter, but improved compared with the preceding year. The number of working days contributed positively to order intake and invoicing by about 1%. The market in Europe continued to improve slightly, most notably in France and Russia. However, the trend was the reverse for North America, which was partly attributable to demand from distributors. Business activity increased in Asia from the weaker level noted earlier in the year, predominately due to a broad-based improvement in demand from China and Japan. Demand from the aerospace industry and the energy segment was stable at a high level, while the low activity noted in general engineering persisted.
The automotive industry showed signs of improvement, albeit with differences between regions.
The acquisition of the remaining 51% of the shares in Precorp Inc. was announced during the quarter.
In September, the Sandvik Coromant product area introduced the GC4325 insert grade (pictured), a breakthrough product designed for steel turning applications.
Reductions in working capital contributed to a strong cash fl ow.
The higher sales volume and the dissolution of provisions contributed to improved earnings, but this was partly offset by the continued strong SEK (-80 million SEK compared with the preceding year). Operating profi t thus amounted to 1,454 million SEK (1,343), or 21.0% (19.6) of invoiced sales. Return on capital employed for the most recent 12-month period was 27.1% (32.6).

Change compared to same quarter last year. The table is multiplicative, i.e. the different components must be multiplied to determine the total effect.
Overall demand was stable at a low level for Sandvik Materials Technology during the third quarter. Order intake increased by 5% while invoiced sales decreased by 4% at fi xed exchange rates compared with the preceding year. The internal effi ciency gains yielded by the Step Change turnaround program since its launch two years ago continued to mitigate the effects of low sales and production levels. Adjusted for metal price effects, operating profi t amounted to 265 million SEK, or 8.2% of invoiced sales (8.0) in the seasonally weakest quarter of the year.
Market conditions for the business area were unchanged for most customer segments. This trend of overall stable demand at a low level has remained largely unchanged for the past two years. Continued high activity was noted in the oil and gas sector where Sandvik's broad product offering and advanced materials are highly valued by customers. Conditions for the standard product range remained challenging, particularly in North America. Demand from several segments in Europe improved somewhat from a low level while business in Asia was mixed.
Compared with the preceding quarter, production rates were reduced as part of normal summer and maintenance shutdowns in the northern hemisphere. While leading to underabsorption of fi xed costs, the reduced production rates contributed to a strong cash fl ow as inventory levels declined.
Similar to earlier quarters, persistent weak demand and currency rates continued to affect competitive behavior. Price pressure is evident for the parts of the product range subject to particularly intense competition. The strong SEK and the weakness of the JPY work to the disadvantage of Sandvik Materials Technology.
The structural improvements accomplished through the Step Change turnaround program, including an adjusted cost base, continued to support earnings during the third quarter. Operating profi t, adjusted for metal price effects (-90 million SEK), amounted to 265 million SEK (276), or 8.2% of invoiced sales (8.0). Changed exchange rates affected earnings by -40 million SEK compared with the preceding year, but the effect was negligible compared with the preceding quarter. Return on capital employed for the most recent 12-month period was 4.3% (0.3). Return on capital employed improved to 9.3% adjusted for nonrecurring charges in the fourth quarter of 2012.

The global construction market slowed during the third quarter. Consequently, order intake declined by 6% compared with the year-earlier period at fi xed exchange rates for comparable units, and by 19% compared with the preceding quarter, and amounted to 1.9 billion SEK. Invoiced sales, totaling 2.1 billion SEK (2.3 in the preceding quarter), declined at fi xed exchange rates compared with the preceding quarter as a result of the lower order backlog.
Earnings were negatively impacted by changed exchange rates and lower sales volumes compared with the preceding quarter and the preceding year, and amounted to 88 million SEK (230), or 4.3% (10.2) of invoiced sales.
The third-qaurter trend was negative for the market in
which Sandvik Construction operates. It was evident that smaller customers were being infl uenced to a greater extent than larger customers by the trend of weak macroeconomic conditions and continued uncertainty. The regularity of delivery deferrals thus increased, but order cancellations did not deviate from normal levels. North America and most countries in Europe noted declining demand, particularly for mobile equipment and systems. Business activity in South America and Asia increased somewhat, albeit with signifi cant variations between countries.
Mobile crushing and screening equipment recorded the sharpest decline, while tunneling equipment remained stable. Demand for tools, consumables and services weakened somewhat and fl uctuated between markets.
In response to the lower levels of market activity observed, production rates will be reduced.
During the quarter, several new products were launched in the market, further strengthening the total product portfolio, which is currently among those with the highest share of sales of new products in the Sandvik Group.
While net working capital was almost unchanged in absolute terms, the low sales level resulted in a more pronounced increase in relative terms.
Productivity improvements were more than offset by negative currency effects, low sales and production rates. Changed exchange rates affected earnings by about -40 million SEK compared with the preceding year, but the effect was negligible compared with the preceding quarter. Operat-
ing profi t amounted to 88 million SEK (230), or 4.3% (10.2) of invoiced sales. Return on capital employed for the most recent 12-month period was 7.3% (6.7).

Business conditions for Sandvik Venture in the third quarter largely resembled those of the preceding quarter. Order intake decreased by 18% and invoiced sales by 6% compared with the preceding quarter at fi xed exchange rates for comparable units. Total order intake and invoiced sales each amounted to 1.3 billion SEK, (1.5 and 1.3, respectively, in the preceding quarter). Operating profi t continued to improve from the levels recorded earlier in the year as profi tability increased for most product areas. Consequently operating profi t amounted to 199 million SEK (253), or 15.9% of invoiced sales (18.4).
Overall demand was tentative and remained largely unchanged compared with the second quarter. Order intake gained momentum in Asia, most notably in China,
while development in Europe fl uctuated among countries. North America weakened somewhat compared with the preceding quarter and year. The market for process equipment declined slightly which affected Sandvik Process Systems, but was partly offset by improved demand for Sandvik Hard Materials. The new product area - combining Diamond Innovations and Sandvik Hard Materials - became operational in October under the new name Sandvik Hyperion. The product area provides products and services within applied materials, such as super-hard and hard materials, based on cemented carbide, cubic boron nitride, and synthetic diamond.
Sandvik Process Systems acquired the German company TechnoPartner Samtronic GmbH, (TPS), a manufacturer of scattering machines and double belt presses. The objective of the acquisition is to further develop and strengthen the global business for these products in the composites segment.
Net working capital increased somewhat in volume, although the increase was more pronounced in relative terms due to the lower sales volumes and amounted to 44%.
Earnings for Sandvik Venture continued to improve from the lower levels recorded earlier in the year, with contributions from most product areas. Although performance was enhanced, further progress at Sandvik Hard Materials and
Diamond Innovations was hampered by continued challenging market conditions.
Operating profi t for Sandvik Venture amounted to 199 million SEK (253) or 15.9% (18.4) 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 8.5% (17.3). Adjusted for nonrecurring charges in the second quarter, return on capital employed amounted to 11.6%.

• During the quarter, the Swedish Tax Agency decided to not permit further deferral of the tax payment regarding the reorganization of ownership of intellectual property rights dating back to 2005. Consequently, Sandvik paid approximately 5,800 million
SEK to the Tax Agency in September. A signifi cant part of the amount would however be recovered through reduced tax payments related to increased amortizations.

** The difference between carrying amount and fair value refers to borrowings.
Sandvik measures fi nancial intruments at fair value or amortised 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 are only using observable market data and thus belongs 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 last 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 amount to 918 million SEK and the carrying amount of the related derivative liabilities amount to -686 million SEK. No collateral has been received or posted. In the case of the occurrence of default events with derivative counterparties, 480 million SEK of assets and liabilities would be offset due to master netting agreements.

and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and other generally accepted auditing practices and consequently does 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.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, for the Group in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act, and for the Parent Company, in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.
