CEO's message

The market continues to be characterised by great uncertainty, and order intake is varying widely from month to month. In general, we have seen a slowdown in most market segments, however, there are positive exceptions to the general trend. One such area is the international energy sector, which continues to perform at a high level. Another is the group of companies acquired in Switzerland in 2011, which are continuing their favourable performance.

Second quarter

Order intake during the quarter outpaced net sales by 2%. The acquisitions carried out by the Group have compensated for a generally continued weak market. Two of the Group's business areas reached a higher accumulated order intake than a year ago: Industrial Components and Special Products. Both of these business areas have also carried out more acquisitions than the other three business areas.

In the Nordic countries, the market is weak particularly in Finland and Denmark. Sweden – and to some extent Norway – is experiencing a more positive trend, with certain segments that are growing. Outside the Nordic countries, business in Indutrade Switzerland continues to show strong growth, both organic and through acquisitions. Other important countries such as Germany, Benelux, the UK and Ireland, are stable.

Generally speaking, it is companies with own products or own brands that have had the most positive performance of the Group's companies. My conclusion is that the Group's long-term, concerted effort to increase the share of proprietary products with an international base has enhanced growth and stability in the Group.

Net sales during the past quarter rose 6%, and at constant exchange rates the increase was 9%. Without completed acquisitions, sales would have been unchanged.

The Engineering & Equipment business area, comprising companies in Finland, experienced continued weak development coupled to weak performance for Finnish industry. Owing to completed cost reductions, earnings have improved despite lower volume. It is positive to note that order intake exceeded invoicing by 5%.

Flow Technology had weak order intake during the period, although it improved toward the end of the second quarter. Order intake is generally weak in the marine sector as well as from the process industry in Sweden. Customers are keeping maintenance and investments to a minimum. Earnings for the period were down slightly on account of the weak marine sector, owing in part to lower volumes, but also to costs for creating the right long-term conditions for business in this segment.

Fluids & Mechanical Solutions had weak performance in certain segments, such as automotive hydraulics, while it encountered a more favourable business climate in other areas. Order intake was on a par with invoicing.

Earnings were down slightly, mainly in the hydraulics business. Cost savings have been achieved, and further measures will be taken.

For Industrial Components, demand was generally weak, but thanks to acquisitions, sales as well as order intake rose by approximately 9% for the business area. Order intake and invoicing were level with each other. Commercial vehicles continues to show positive development at the same time that certain med-tech segments have had a weak start to the year. The earnings improvement of roughly 20% can be credited to completed acquisitions.

Special Products posted growth in both order intake and invoicing by approximately 15%. New acquisitions as well as Indutrade Switzerland have made a strong contribution to the earnings improvement of slightly higher than 20%. In the energy segment, which is important for the business area, activity remains at a high level.

Margins

All of the business areas are upholding their gross margins despite fierce competition. The Group's gross margin remains stable at 34.0%, which is level with 2012.

The EBITA margin was 11.6% (10.9%) for the quarter and 10.5% (10.3%) for the half year, which is higher than the Group's target of a minimum 10% EBITA margin over a business cycle.

Acquisitions

One acquisition was made during the quarter, ESI Technologies Ltd, with business in Ireland and the UK. In early July an additional acquisition was carried out, of AMAB's med-tech business.

Outlook

Certain signs of an upswing can be seen, such as for commercial vehicles, while the uncertainty remains great in many other segments. Several customers have indicated that they expect things to improve during the autumn, but this remains to be seen. Indutrade has certain businesses that will increase their sales and earnings in the coming quarters at the same time that uncertainty is great for others. On a positive note, order intake outpaced net sales during the quarter.

Group performance

ORDER INTAKE AND NET SALES Order intake

Order intake during the period January–June totalled SEK 4,525 million (4,574), a decrease of 1%. For comparable units, order intake decreased by 5%, while acquired growth was 6%. Currency movements had a negative effect on order intake, by 2%.

Order intake during the second quarter rose marginally to SEK 2,327 million (2,319). For comparable units, order intake decreased by 3%, while acquired growth was 6%. Currency movements had a negative effect on order intake, by 3%.

The business climate can be summed up as continued generally weak, and the trend from 2012 of gradually weakening demand in many markets and niches has not yet broken. There are exceptions, such as demand from the international energy sector in particular, which has experienced favourable growth since the latter part of 2011 and stabilised at a high level during the second half of 2012. For some of the Group's internationally active companies with proprietary products, such as in the area of measurement technology, demand continued to improve during the second quarter of the year. Similarly, the Group's operations in Switzerland experienced continued favourable demand.

All business areas except for Special Products showed a decrease in order intake for comparable units during the first and second quarters of the year. Special Products posted a rise, mainly driven by favourable performance for the business area's operations in Switzerland, but also for internationally active companies with proprietary products. Flow Technology is the business area that experienced the greatest weakening in demand compared with the first half of 2012. It is mainly international and domestic projects for e.g., the process industry and marine sector that have decreased this year.

Net sales

Net sales during the period January–June totalled SEK 4,331 million (4,129), an increase of 5%. The increase for comparable units was 1%, while acquired growth was 7%. Negative currency movements amounted to 3%.

Net sales during the second quarter rose 6% to SEK 2,280 million (2,147). The increase for comparable units was 3%, while acquired growth was 6%. Currency movements had a negative effect on net sales by 3%.

It is positive to note that net sales for comparable units during the second quarter rose in three of the Group's five business areas.

Net sales per customer segment (%)

Earnings and return

EARNINGS

Operating profit before amortisation of intangible assets attributable to acquisitions (EBITA) amounted to SEK 455 million (426) for the period January–June, an increase of 7%. The operating margin before amortisation of intangible assets (the EBITA margin) was 10.5% (10.3%).

The gross margin for the Group as a whole was level with the corresponding period a year ago, at 34.0% (34.0%). During the past quarter the gross margin was 34.2% (34.0%).

With an essentially stable gross margin, the strengthening of the EBITA margin is attributable to lower cost share. To counter the effects of the weaker business climate, actions have been initiated in several of the Group's companies, which have made a positive contribution to the strengthened earnings and margin. One example can be seen in the earnings performance for Engineering & Equipment, which grew its profit by 25% during the past quarter despite a drop in net sales. During the past quarter, four of the Group's five business areas achieved an EBITA margin in excess of the Group's 10% target.

Currency effects of translation of foreign units had a negative impact on EBITA by SEK -13 million, or -3%.

Net financial items amounted to SEK -48 million (-43), of which net interest expense was SEK -44 million (-40). Net interest expense was favourably affected by a lower average interest rate, which largely compensated for the higher average level of net debt.

Tax on profit for the period was SEK -77 million (-82), corresponding to a tax charge of 22.6% (24.8%). The lower tax charge is attributable to the reduced corporate tax rate in Sweden, which took effect on 1 January 2013.

Profit after tax rose 6% to SEK 264 million (249). Earnings per share increased to SEK 6.58 (6.23).

Operating profit before amortisation of intangible assets (EBITA) for the second quarter of the year amounted to SEK 264 million (234), an increase of 13%. The operating margin before amortisation of intangible assets (the EBITA margin) was 11.6% (10.9%). Net financial items amounted to SEK -28 million (-22) for the second quarter, of which net interest expense was SEK -22 million (-20). Tax on profit for the quarter was SEK -45 million (-46). Profit after tax totalled SEK 157 million (139). Earnings per share were SEK 3.90 (3.48).

RETURN

The return on operating capital was 21% (24%), and the return on equity was 26% (28%).

Business areas1

ENGINEERING & EQUIPMENT

Engineering & Equipment's operations involve sales of components as well as customisation, combinations and installations of products from various suppliers. Business is conducted mainly in Finland.

2013 2012 2013 2012 2012/13 2012

EBITA margin, % 9.1 7.0 7.9 7.4 8.2 7.9

Net sales during the period January–June decreased by 5% to SEK 630 million (666). For comparable units the decrease was 4%. Acquisitions contributed 3%, while currency movements had a negative effect on net sales, by 4%.

Finnish industrial performance has been weak across a broad front since spring 2012, and this trend remained unbroken during the past quarter. Certain sectors have stabilised somewhat. These include certain customers in the automotive segment, for example, as well as maintenance and repair work in the water/wastewater segment, while new investment in this segment continues to be at a low level. The business climate in the construction sector is weak, which is having a negative impact on the business area's business.

EBITA for the period rose 1% to SEK 50 million (49), corresponding to an EBITA margin of 7.9% (7.4%). The earnings increase during the past quarter can be credited to completed cost-cutting and efficiency improvement measures that have generated their intended effect.

FLOW TECHNOLOGY

Flow Technology offers components and systems for controlling, measuring, monitoring and regulating flows. The business area includes companies that specialise in various areas of industrial flow technology.

EBITA margin, % 10.2 10.9 8.0 9.4 8.6 9.2

Net sales for the period January–June totalled SEK 1,000 million (1,030), a decrease of 3%. For comparable units the decrease was 3%, while acquired growth was 2%. Currency movements had a negative effect on net sales, by 2%.

The business climate remained weak during the period in most areas. At the start of the preceding year, order intake for domestic and international projects in the marine sector, from the process industry and in the water/wastewater segment was very favourable. The level this year has been significantly lower, and demand is described as tentative. As a result, this year there has not been any corresponding build-up of the order book as in the first half of 2012. The weaker business climate is reflected in lower accumulated sales for a number of the business area's companies.

EBITA for the period decreased by 17% to SEK 80 million (97), and the EBITA margin was 8.0% (9.4%). Lower sales for comparable units is leading to lower earnings and margins. Actions that have been initiated to adapt resources to the weaker business climate resulted in a further, initial burden on earnings.

1 Comparative figures for the business areas for 2012 have been changed as a result of the Group's new structure as from 1 January 2013. For further details, see Indutrade's year-end report for 2012.

Net sales decreased by 1% during the period January–June, to SEK 501 million (507). For comparable units, the decrease was 5%. Acquisitions contributed 5%, while currency movements had a negative impact on net sales, by 1%.

Some of the business area's companies continued to strengthen their positions in their respective markets during the start of the year, including industrial plastic components, design solutions for facades, and products and services for fluid filtration, among others. In other respects, the generally weaker business climate in the Nordic engineering industry and commercial vehicles segment had a negative impact.

EBITA for the period decreased by 5% to SEK 59 million (62), and the EBITA margin was 11.8% (12.2%). In the companies that have been hurt the most by the weaker business climate, actions have been taken to adapt overheads.

INDUSTRIAL COMPONENTS

Industrial Components offers a wide range of technically advanced components and systems for production and maintenance, and medical technology equipment. The products consist mainly of consumables.

EBITA margin, % 12.1 11.2 11.0 10.4 11.1 10.8

Net sales rose 9% during the period January–June, to SEK 842 million (769). For comparable units, sales decreased by 4%. Acquisitions contributed 14%, while currency movements had a negative effect of 1%.

The business climate for commercial vehicles is showing a recovery at the same time that most industrial customer segments are feeling the effects of the weaker business climate. In addition, a drop in demand has been noted for medical technology equipment for ophthalmology and health care applications.

EBITA for the period rose 17% to SEK 93 million (80), corresponding to an EBITA margin of 11.0% (10.4%). Acquisitions explain the positive contribution to earnings and margin growth. Cost-cutting measures in the business area have mitigated the effects of the lower net sales for comparable units and thereby helped buoy the EBITA margin.

In January, the company Thermotech AS was acquired, with annual sales of approximately SEK 70 million.

SPECIAL PRODUCTS

Special Products offers specially manufactured niche products, design solutions, aftermarket service and assembly, and special processing. The business area includes companies that conduct a considerable amount of own manufacturing. It is also the Indutrade business area with the highest share of proprietary products.

2013 2012 2013 2012 2012/13 2012

EBITA margin, % 15.1 14.4 14.5 13.9 15.2 14.9

Net sales rose 17% during the period January–June to SEK 1,384 million (1,184), with a 12% increase in sales for comparable units. Acquired growth was 10%, while currency movements had a negative impact on net sales, by 5%.

The increase in net sales for comparable units is mainly attributable to deliveries to the international, conventional energy market during the start of the year and by the success of the Group's operations in Switzerland. Despite the substantial level of invoicing in the energy market, order intake in this segment was nevertheless on a par with invoicing during the first half of the year. A number of other business segments also reported some increase in net sales during the start of the year. This applied, for example, for operations in Benelux and certain internationally active companies with proprietary products in the measurement technology field.

EBITA increased by 22% to SEK 201 million (164), and the EBITA margin was 14.5% (13.9%). The earnings increase is attributable to higher net sales for comparable units as well as additions from acquisitions, with a slight overweight in the contribution from comparable units. The same also applies for margin growth.

In April the company ESI Technologies Ltd was acquired, with annual sales of approximately SEK 160 million.

Other financial information

FINANCIAL POSITION

Shareholders' equity amounted to SEK 2,281 million (2,022), and the equity ratio was 32% (33%).

Cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 286 million (245). In addition to this, the Group had unutilised credit promises of SEK 817 million (856). Interest-bearing net debt amounted to SEK 2,677 million (2,132). The net debt/equity ratio at the end of the period was 117% (106%).

Cash flow from operating activities was SEK 294 million (118). Cash flow after net capital expenditures in intangible non-current assets and in property, plant and equipment (excluding company acquisitions) was SEK 203 million (55). The higher cash flow is mainly attributable to a lower level of tied up working capital compared with the same period a year ago.

The Group's net capital expenditures, excluding company acquisitions, amounted to SEK 91 million (63). Capital expenditures in properties in a few of the Group's manufacturing companies have led to an increase in capital expenditures in non-current assets. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment amounted to SEK 55 million (53). Investments in company acquisitions amounted to SEK 281 million (280), of which contingent earn-out payments for previous years' acquisitions amounted to SEK 93 million (69).

EMPLOYEES

The number of employees was 4,149 at the end of the period (4,086 at the start of the year). A total of 101 employees were added through acquisitions.

ACQUISITIONS

The Group has acquired the following companies, which are consolidated for the first time in 2013.

Month acquired Acquisitions Business area Net sales/SEK m* No. of employees*
January Thermotech AS Industrial Components 70 54
April ESI Technologies Ltd Special Products 160 47

Further information about completed company acquisitions can be found on page 14 of this interim report.

EVENTS AFTER THE END OF THE REPORTING PERIOD

In July one company acquisition was carried out, when the Industrial Components business area acquired the Swedish company AMAB (Allen Myrin Aktiebolag), with annual sales of approximately SEK 35 million. The company is one of the market's leading suppliers of medical alert systems, monitoring systems and security systems to the healthcare sector.

In other respects, no significant events for the Group have occurred after the end of the reporting period.

PARENT COMPANY

The main functions of Indutrade AB are to take responsibility for business development, acquisitions, financing, business control and analysis. The Parent Company's sales, which consist exclusively of intercompany invoicing of services, amounted to SEK 0 million (0) during the period. The Parent Company's financial assets consist mainly of shares in subsidiaries. During the period, the Parent Company acquired shares in two new companies. The Parent Company did not make any major investments in intangible non-current assets or in property, plant and equipment. The number of employees on 30 June was 10 (10).

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Indutrade Group conducts business in 26 countries in four world regions, through some 180 companies. This diversification, together with a large number of customers in various industries and a large number of suppliers, mitigates the business and financial risks. Apart from the risks and uncertainties described in Indutrade's 2012 Annual Report, no significant risks or uncertainties are judged to have emerged or been eliminated. Since the Parent Company is responsible for the Group's financing, it is exposed to financing risk.

The Parent Company's other activities are not exposed to risks other than indirectly via subsidiaries. For a more detailed account of risks that affect the Group and Parent Company, please see the 2012 Annual Report.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

No transactions took place during the period between Indutrade and related parties that have significantly affected the Company's financial position or result of operations.

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

Indutrade reports in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 and RFR 1. The Parent Company applies RFR 2. The same accounting principles and calculation methods are used in this report as those used in Indutrade's 2012 Annual Report.

Starting in 2013 the Group applies the revised IAS 19 Employee Benefits. The impact on the Group is not significant, since actuarial gains and losses have previously been recognised in other comprehensive income. The changeover to the revised accounting principle has entailed a decrease in the pension liability by SEK 2 million and an increase in shareholders' equity by SEK 2 million as per 1 January 2012. The pension liability and shareholders' equity are unchanged as per 31 December 2012. The change entails an increase in financial income by SEK 4 million, and a decrease in other comprehensive income by SEK 6 million during the fourth quarter of 2012. There is no earnings impact for the first three quarters of the year. The recalculation entails an increase in earnings per share by SEK 0.10 for the full year 2012. Comparative figures have been recalculated.

Starting in 2013, the new IFRS 13 – Fair Value Measurement and amendments to IFRS 7 – Financial Instruments: Disclosures, are applied. These changes have given rise to additional disclosures.

Apart from the standards specified above, no new IFRSs or IFRIC interpretations have been adopted by the EU that will be applicable for Indutrade or will have any material impact on the Group's result of operations or financial position in 2013.

EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

Indutrade's largest shareholder, L E Lundbergföretagen AB, has requested that Indutrade summons an extraordinary general meeting, which will be held on 21 August 2013 at 4 p.m., to decide on an adjusted board composition.

FINANCIAL CALENDAR

  • The interim report for the period 1 January–30 September 2013 will be published on 5 November 2013.
  • The year-end report for the period 1 January–31 December 2013 will be published on 13 February 2014.

THE BOARD'S ASSURANCE

The Board of Directors and President certify that the half-year interim report gives a true and fair view of the Company's and Group's operations, position and result of operations, and describes material risks and uncertainties facing the Company and companies included in the Group.

Indutrade normally uses an acquisition structure entailing a base level of consideration plus a contingent earn-out payment. Initially, the contingent earn-out payments are valued at the present value of the likely outcome, which for the acquisitions made during the year amount to SEK 51 million. The contingent earn-out payments fall due for payment within 2 years and can amount to a maximum of SEK 55 million. If the conditions are not met, the outcome can be in the range of SEK 0-55 million.

Transaction costs for the acquisitions carried out during the period totalled SEK 4 million (2) and are included in "Other income and expenses" in the income statement. Contingent earn-out payments have been revalued at SEK -2 million (0). The expense is reported among Other income and expenses in the income statement.

The purchase price allocations for Geotrim Oy, Eco Analytics AG, Rubin Medical AB, Conroy AB and Topflight AB, which were acquired in 2012, are definitive. No significant adjustments have been made in the calculations. For other acquisitions, the purchase price allocations are preliminary. Indutrade regards the calculations as preliminary during the time that uncertainty exists with respect to, for example, the outcome of guarantees in the acquisition agreements concerning inventories and trade accounts receivable.

FAIR VALUE

The table below shows financial instruments at fair value, based on the classification of the fair value hierarchy. The various levels are defined as follows:

    1. Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities [level 1]
    1. Other observable data for assets and liabilities than quoted prices included in level 1, either directly (i.e., through price listings) or indirectly (i.e., stemming from price listings) [level 2]
    1. Data for the assets or liabilities that is not based on observable market data (i.e., non-observable market data) [level 3]

The Group's assets and liabilities measured at fair value as per 30 June 2013

Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
Assets
Available-for-sale financial assets - - 6 6
Derivative instruments held for
hedging purposes - 2 - 2
Liabilities
Derivative instruments held for

Derivative instruments consist of currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps.

No transfers were made between levels 2 and 3 during the period. Reclassification has been made between levels 1 and 2, and the comparative figures for 2012 have been recalculated. Assets in level 3 consists of holdings of shares and participations in unlisted companies. Fair value is considered to be equal to cost.

Long- and short-term loans carry variable interest in all essential respects, which is why their fair value is considered to be equal to the carrying amount.

For the Group's other financial assets and liabilities, such as trade accounts receivable, cash and cash equivalents, contingent considerations and trade accounts payable, fair value is estimated to be equal to the carrying amount.
