SALES AND INCOME

COMMENTS BY THE PRESIDENT AND CEO

"I am pleased that the organic growth has returned this quarter," says Johan Molin, President and CEO. "It is particularly pleasing that North and South America and Asia showed good growth, while Europe stabilized at around zero. Total growth for the Group was 7% in local currencies, made up of 3% organic growth and 4% acquired growth. However, exchange-rate effects were strongly negative, at -5%, which meant that overall growth was kept to 2%.

"Both earnings and margins continued to improve as a result of a increased share of new products and major savings and efficiency measures in production. Especially satisfying are the strong earnings from EMEA and Entrance Systems despite their lack of growth, at the same time as Americas and Global Technologies showed strongly rising margins.

"Activity on the acquisition front remained very high, with several interesting acquisitions under discussion. However, only two minor acquisitions, which complement Entrance Systems' local presence, came to completion during the quarter.

"My assessment is that the outlook is unchanged, with a continuing weak world economy affected by the budget cutbacks that many countries are making. It is therefore of the utmost importance that ASSA ABLOY should continue its expansion on the new markets, which are expected to go on growing well, and that our investments in new products and market presence are sustained."

The combined acquisition price for the five acquisitions completed in the half-year period amounted to SEK 191 M, and preliminary acquisition analyses indicate that goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful life amount to SEK 158 M. The acquisition price is adjusted for acquired net debt and estimated earn-outs. Estimated earn-outs amount to SEK 79 M. In May 2013 the joint-venture contract for Baodean in China was brought to an end when ASSA ABLOY acquired the outstanding 30% of shares.

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

ASSA ABLOY published its Sustainability Report for 2012 in April 2013, and the Report indicates that the majority of key indicators are continuing to move in a positive direction.

One high-priority area is the evaluation of the Group's suppliers in low-cost countries. 795 supplier audits were conducted in 2012, compared with 493 audits in the previous year. Originally the supplier audits mainly concerned suppliers in China, but the program has been progressively expanded and now covers all low-cost countries. To be able to evaluate the supplier bases in South and Central America effectively, more than 20 ASSA ABLOY employed auditors had been trained in Mexico and Colombia by the end of the second quarter of 2013. Already suppliers representing 15 percent of procurement value in South and Central America have been evaluated in accordance with the Group's standardized process.

PARENT COMPANY

Other operating income for the Parent company ASSA ABLOY AB totaled SEK 988 M (898) for the half-year. Income before tax amounted to SEK 1,201 M (966). Investments in tangible and intangible assets totaled SEK 80 M (9). Liquidity is good and the equity ratio was 47.1% (48.2).

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

ASSA ABLOY applies International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as endorsed by the European Union. Significant accounting and valuation principles are detailed on pages 90-95 of the 2012 Annual Report.

This Interim Report was prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' and the Annual Accounts Act. The Interim Report for the Parent company was prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and RFR 2 'Reporting by a Legal Entity'.

EFFECTS OF CHANGED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

In 2013 financial reporting is affected by changes relating to the reporting of definedbenefit pension plans. The changed accounting principles remove the option of using the so-called corridor method: that is, the option of reporting only a proportion of actuarial gains and losses as income or expense. The significant changed valuations are instead reported as they arise in 'Other comprehensive income'. The changes also mean that the return on plan assets is no longer reported as expected return but is reported as an interest income item in the income statement, based on the value of the discount rate at the start of the financial year. The accounting principles for defined-benefit pension plans are therefore changed from the Group's accounting principles in the 2012 Annual Report and the Interim Reports published earlier in 2012.

The new principles affect reporting retroactively, and the opening balance at 1 January 2012 has been recalculated, as have the comparatives for 2012, as follows:

On the balance-sheet date of 1 January 2012, pension obligations and net debt increased by SEK 1,092 M. Equity was reduced by SEK 737 M and financial assets increased by SEK 355 M. Operating income for the quarter and the full year 2012 is unchanged. Financial items for the quarter and the full year 2012 improved by SEK 16 M and SEK 53 M respectively. The tax expense for the quarter and the full year 2012 increased by SEK 6 M and SEK 6 M respectively. Net profit for the quarter and the full year 2012 increased by SEK 10 M and SEK 47 M respectively. Earnings per share after dilution for the quarter and the full year 2012 increased by SEK 0.03 per share and SEK 0.13 per share respectively.

TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

No transactions that significantly affected the company's position and income have taken place between ASSA ABLOY and related parties.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTY FACTORS

As an international Group with a wide geographic spread, ASSA ABLOY is exposed to a number of business and financial risks. The business risks can be divided into strategic, operational and legal risks. The financial risks are related to such factors as exchange rates, interest rates, liquidity, the giving of credit, raw materials and financial instruments. Risk management in ASSA ABLOY aims to identify, control and reduce risks. This work begins with an assessment of the probability of risks occurring and their potential effect on the Group. For a more detailed description of risks and risk management, see the 2012 Annual Report. No significant risks other than the risks described there are judged to have occurred.

OUTLOOK*

Long-term outlook

Long term, ASSA ABLOY expects an increase in security-driven demand. Focus on end-user value and innovation as well as leverage on ASSA ABLOY's strong position will accelerate growth and increase profitability.

Organic sales growth is expected to continue at a good rate. The operating margin (EBIT) and operating cash flow are expected to develop well.

REVIEW REPORT

Introduction

We have reviewed this Report for the period 1 January to 30 June 2013 for ASSA ABLOY AB (publ). The Board of Directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this Interim Report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this Interim Report based on our review.

Scope of Review

We have conducted our review in accordance with the Swedish Standard on Review Engagements SÖG 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 is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing, ISA, and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review do 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.

Conclusion

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.
