CEO's comments

"Through the acquisition of Environmental Filtration Technologies Inc (EFT), Nederman is strengthening its position on the important market in North America, and also other markets such as Australia. The addition of EFT reinforces Nederman's world-leading position in industrial air filtration.

Increasing concern about the economy and falling industrial output has lead to our customers taking a more cautious approach to investments during the third quarter." Sven Kristensson, CEO

Development per operating segment

EMEA

In the EMEA segment, organic incoming orders continued to be below last year's level, which is in line with previous announcements. There remain large differences between the countries in this segment, largely due to economic uncertainty in the euro region.

Incoming orders in Sweden were weaker than last year, although 2011 was characterised by a number of larger orders. Demand in the metal machining and vehicle workshop sectors is good.

In Denmark we noted a rise in orders in Q3. Demand for solutions in the wood processing sector has started to recover. Demand in the wind power sector, which is an important industry in Denmark, continues to be weak.

The Norwegian market is stable, with a large portion of incoming orders relating to investment in the oil sector and vehicle workshops.

The economy in the UK continues to be weak, but incoming orders have not worsened compared with last year and we are continuing to win market share. In Ireland, which is a part of the same sales company, the trend has also been positive.

France has seen somewhat weaker incoming orders but invoicing during the quarter remained stable, despite the uncertain economic development in the country.

Incoming orders in Belgium remain below last year's level, but there is a rise in market activity and there are positive signals from the metal machining, wood processing and vehicle workshop sectors.

In the Netherlands incoming orders stabilised during the summer but then fell back towards the end of the quarter. Integration of the newly acquired company, Lebon & Gimbrair, is proceeding as planned and synergies are being realised.

In Poland we noted a strong quarter with orders significantly above the same period last year. However, we are seeing tendencies of rising caution on the market due to economic uncertainties across Europe.

In the Czech Republic incoming orders were weak in the quarter and investment decisions are being delayed.

In Germany, where Nederman has its largest sales company, invoicing and incoming orders were stable in the quarter. The market remains strong and we see good demand in the metal processing and machining sectors. The acquisition of EFT further strengthens our position here.

Countries in Southern Europe remain burdened by the debt crisis and high unemployment. In Spain and Portugal demand in the quarter was at the same level as previously this year.

In Turkey organic growth in incoming orders is very strong. We are expanding from a relatively low level, but at current growth rates the country's sales company is growing in importance for the Group. Demand is high for solutions in the metal processing, foundry and vehicle workshops sectors.

In Russia and countries in Eastern Europe we are noting some improvement in the market situation. During the quarter we won an important order for treatment of emissions from a steel plant in Ukraine.

Incoming orders for the period amounted to SEK 281.4, which is a decrease of 1.7 per cent adjusted for currency effects, acquisitions and disposals, compared to the same period last year.

Incoming orders until September, decreased 6.9 per cent adjusted for currency effects, acquisitions and disposals, compared to last year.

Net sales for the period amounted to SEK 324.1, which is a decrease of 6.0 per cent adjusted for currency effects, acquisitions and disposals, compared to the same period last year.

Net sales until September adjusted for currency, acquisitions and disposals, is unchanged compared to last year.

International

The International operating segment reported mixed progress during Q3. Market uncertainty grew in Asia, especially in China. In North America we are noting continued recovery on the market and in South America demand remained strong.

In China incoming orders were low in the quarter, mainly for large solutions. Economic uncertainty remains on markets and GNP growth has faltered while focus moves to the appointment of new political leaders in early November. Product sales through our well-established retailer network are stable and the launch of an expanded filter range for welding and grinding dust applications was well received on the market.

Markets in South East Asia remain strong overall. Demand in Thailand for solutions has stabilised and thanks to our large installed base we see opportunities for growth within services in this country. In Indonesia and Malaysia the number of inquiries is growing continually and we see strong potential in welding and grain handling applications, for example.

In India incoming orders progressed positively in the quarter and, compared with the first half of the year, we are seeing an rising willingness to invest. During the quarter we won an important order for oil mist filters in the auto sector. The strategy remains to build a strong retailer network in order to drive product sales and generate information about larger projects.

In Australia incoming orders fell during the quarter. The country's economy is being affected by reduced demand for raw materials. A weakening of the important mining industry is resulting in slower decision-making processes regarding investment. Over the longer term we consider the market potential is promising for larger filter solutions and the acquisition of EFT means that our market position is very competitive.

Nederman in Brazil reported continued good incoming orders during the quarter. Our strong rate of growth in this country continues, but questions remain about the Brazilian economy, and this could slow development going forward.

In the US incoming orders were generally stable and the market is recovering. At the end of the quarter we saw growing uncertainty associated with the upcoming presidential election. The acquisition of EFT makes us the leading company in this market.

Following a weak first half of the year in Canada we saw an increase in incoming orders and greater activity on the market. Our position in Canada is also further strengthened by the acquisition of EFT.

Incoming orders for the period amounted to SEK 139.1, which is an decrease of 13.6 per cent adjusted for currency effects, acquisitions and disposals, compared to the same period last year.

Incoming orders until September increased by 0.4 per cent adjusted for currency effects, acquisitions and disposals, compared to last year.

Net sales until September, increased by 8.6 per cent adjusted for currency effects, acquisitions and disposals, compared to last year.

Integration of acquisition

As previously announced, the acquisition of Environmental Filtration Technology Inc (EFT) was completed on 25 September 2012 and the company was consolidated in the Nederman Group from the takeover date. Results relating to EFT have not however affected earnings for Q3, except for the reported acquisition costs. As communicated earlier the purchase price will preliminary be SEK 249m (cashfree/debt-free enterprise value). The acquisition balance shown in the Group balance sheet as of 30 September is preliminary as the price allocation study had not been completed and the final price adjustment will not be concluded until 90 days after take-over. This means that the preliminary surplus value of SEK 142m will be recorded fully as goodwill.

The analysis phase of the integration work has just started and is expected to be finished at the start of 2013. As previously announced, annual synergies are expected to reach around SEK 45m when integration is fully performed, which is expected to be starting in January 2014. Integration and restructuring costs will amount to around SEK 14m, of which SEK 5.5m were charged in Q3 and the remainder will be charged in Q4.

Outlook

Doubt surrounding demand has spread within Europe and parts of Asia. The coming two quarters are very difficult to forecast. We do not expect a significant improvement in the underlying demand during that period.

We remain positive in our long-term outlook, however, as the underlying need for environmental investment remains.

Quarter 3

Incoming orders were SEK 420.5m (450.3), which adjusted for currency effects and acquisitions is an decrease of 6.0 per cent compared to the same quarter last year.

Report on Review of Interim Financial Information

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying interim report of Nederman Holding AB as of 30 September 2012 and the nine-month period then ended. 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 Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with Standard on Review Engagements (SÖG) 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review of interim financial information 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 ISA and other generally accepted auditing standards. The measures used in the review consequently do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. The conclusion of the review does not therefore have the assurance that the conclusion of an audit has.

Conclusion

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.
