CEO's comments

"Despite the uncertain economic development in Europe, we are reporting higher incoming orders and invoicing in segment Europe, especially when compared with the first quarter of the year.

In our International segment we are seeing very strong development in incoming orders, both sequentially and when compared with Q2 in 2011."

Development per operating segment

EMEA

In the EMEA segment, we are seeing, compared with last year's exceptionally strong second quarter, a downturn in organic orders received. This is in line with previous announcements, although we have noted stronger development compared with the previous quarter. There are large differences between the countries in this segment, largely due to economic uncertainty in the euro region.

Following a somewhat weaker level of orders received in Q1, Sweden has shown renewed strength in Q2. Invoicing was good during the quarter and we received an important order in the metal machining sector.

In Denmark we also noted a stronger order situation in Q2 following a weak Q1. Invoicing was stable during the quarter. However, the wind power sector, which is an important industry in Denmark, continues to develop weakly.

In the Norwegian market both invoicing and incoming orders were stable in Q2. Demand from vehicle workshops and welding-related industry remained good.

The economy in the UK continues to be weak, although we are starting to note a recovery. Both invoicing and incoming orders have clearly improved compared with the corresponding quarter in 2011. Above all we have seen an increase in larger projects. In Ireland, which is a part of the same sales company, the trend has also been positive.

Invoicing in Belgium has been stable. In the wake of the economic crisis, customers have shown increased caution and incoming orders remain below last year's level.

In the Netherlands Nederman's business has been affected by the worsening economic climate in the country. Following a relatively strong Q1, incoming orders fell back during Q2. The newly acquired company, Lebon & Gimbrair, was also affected by the weaker market. Integration is otherwise proceeding as planned.

In Germany, where Nederman has its largest sales company, the trend for invoicing and incoming orders remained positive in the quarter. We still consider the market to be strong and we see considerable market potential especially in the metal processing and machining sectors.

In Poland we experienced a certain amount of recovery during the period, and overall we view market potential in this country as being very large. During the quarter we received an order of SEK 10m from Mostostal Warszawa SA for a solution involving dust extraction and filtration for mineral coal handling.

In Czech Republic invoicing was stable but the quarter's incoming orders were weak and investment decisions are being delayed. Going forward we see growing opportunities in the metal processing and machining sectors.

In France invoicing and incoming orders were stable during the quarter.

Countries in Southern Europe remain burdened by the debt crisis and high unemployment. In Spain and Portugal we saw further weakening in orders received.

In Turkey we saw strong organic growth in incoming orders and we consider this country to be an increasingly interesting market. Demand is high for solutions in the metal processing and vehicle workshops sectors.

In Russia and countries in Eastern Europe we are noting that investment decisions are taking longer and projects are being postponed.

In the Middle East countries Nederman has a very small but growing share of its total sales, but we expect demand to increase.

Incoming orders for the quarter amounted to SEK 384.5m, which is a decrease of 14.2 per cent, adjusted for currency effects, acquisitions and disposals, compared to the same period last year.

Incoming orders for the first six months, decreased 8.9 per cent adjusted for currency effects, acquisitions and disposals, compared to 2011.

Net sales for the quarter amounted to SEK 357.9m, which is an increase of 2.1 per cent adjusted for currency effects, acquisitions and disposals, compared to the same period last year.

Net sales for the first six months showed an increase of 3.2 per cent adjusted for currency, acquisitions and disposals, compared to last year.

International

Overall the International operating segment progressed positively in the quarter with stable invoicing and good incoming orders, especially in South East Asia but also in the Americas.

In China incoming orders were good in the quarter. Among other orders we received an order worth over SEK 17m from Aisin Takaoka. Overall the market remains good, but there are economic worries and GDP growth has faltered. Nederman's competitive strength has been continually strengthened through the expansion of the sales organisation and retailer network. In the coming quarter an expanded filter range for welding and grinding dust applications will be launched.

Markets in South East Asia are experiencing strong growth, which for Nederman is being reflected in higher activity levels. Incoming orders have more than doubled compared with the same period in 2011 and the volume of inquiries is increasing. The market in Thailand recovered significantly in Q2 following last year's heavy flooding. In Indonesia we received an order worth over SEK 25m during Q2 from the Japanese company, Yanmar. Our organisation has been strengthened as planned in both Indonesia and Malaysia.

In India invoicing was stable during the quarter, but incoming orders declined. The volume of quotations is growing, but final decisions are taking longer. Activity levels remain high in the foundry sector and a number of projects will be completed during the second half of the year. Nederman has continued to expand its dealer network in order to drive product sales and generate information about larger projects.

In Australia we reported stable levels of sales and incoming orders during the quarter. Growth has been strong in sectors related to the mining industry, while

other manufacturing sectors remain weak. We consider the market potential is promising for larger filter solutions and the expansion of the filter range that we implemented during the spring has led to several inquiries regarding larger installations.

Nederman in Brazil reported good incoming orders and invoicing during the quarter. Questions remain about the rate of growth in the Brazilian economy, and this could affect Nederman's strong growth going forward.

In the US sales have been stable and incoming orders had a positive trend compared with the same period in 2011.

In Canada we had a weak first half of the year. However, the underlying activity in the market means that our general view remains positive.

Incoming orders for the first six months increased by 8.2 per cent adjusted for currency effects, acquisitions and disposals, compared to last year.

Integration of acquisition

The integration of the acquired units in the Netherlands and Turkey is proceeding according to plan.

Outlook

The complexity in forecasting market development is continuously high, but we have the same positive general view as the demand for environmental investments remains. As stated previously, we continue to invest in growth markets and we expect continued positive effects of this.

Quarter 2

Sales and incoming orders

Incoming orders were SEK 581.0m (574.1), which adjusted for currency effects and acquisitions is a decrease of 4.1 per cent compared to the same quarter last year.

Net sales amounted to SEK 521.5m (473.4), which adjusted for currency effects and acquisitions is an increase of 3.5 per cent compared to the same quarter last year.

Earnings

The operating profit for the second quarter was SEK 41.8m (37.9). There were no acquisition costs or restructuring costs affecting the operating profit for the quarter. The improved operating profit is due to the higher net sales. The operating margin was the same as last year, 8.0 % (8.0).

The profit before tax increased to SEK 37.7m (30.7). The net profit was SEK 29.3m (23.7), giving earnings per share of SEK 2.50 (2.02).

Operating cash flow and capital expenditure

The operating cash flow was SEK 20.8m (24.8). Capital expenditure during the quarter was SEK 11.9m (6.5).

January - June

Sales and incoming orders

Incoming orders were SEK 1,074.4m (1,059.9), which adjusted for currency effects, acquisitions and disposals was a decrease of 4.2 per cent.

Net sales amounted to SEK 1,027.4m (932.4), which adjusted for currency effects, acquisitions and divestments is an increase of 4.2 per cent.

Earnings

The operating profit for the period was SEK 71.4m (43.6). Adjusted for acquisition costs and restructuring costs the operating profit was SEK 78.3m (70.1). Prior years figures are additionally adjusted for other disposals of Dantherm Filtration Finland, SEK 9.5m.

The operating profit was 7.6 per cent (7.5). The restructuring costs during the period amounted to SEK 5.0m (35.6).

Return on operating capital increased to 16.1 per cent compared to 15.5 per cent last year, this is explained partly by the improved operating margin, but also through increased capital turnover ratio.

The profit before tax increased to SEK 61.7 m (26.4). The net profit was SEK 47.8m (20.4), giving earnings per share of SEK 4.08 (1.74).

Operating cash flow and capital expenditure

The operating cash flow was SEK 52.6m (27.3). The improvement compared to the previous year is mainly attributable to lower capital tied up in the working capital.

Capital expenditure during the period was SEK 16.7m (10.8), of which capitalised development costs amounted to SEK 2.1m (1.2).

Other financial information

Liquidity: At the end of the period the Group had SEK 134.7m in cash and cash equivalents as well as SEK 62.2m in available but unutilised overdraft facilities. In addition there was a credit facility of SEK 314.0m, which is a part of Nederman's loan agreement with SEB.
