SALES GROWTH

Group performance

ORDER INTAKE AND NET SALES

Order intake

Order intake during the year amounted to SEK 8,315 million (6,863), an increase of 21%. For comparable units, order intake rose 12%, while acquired growth was 13%. Currency movements affected order intake negatively by 4%, or SEK -257 million.

Order intake during the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 2,137 million (1,823), an increase of 17%. For comparable units, order intake rose 9%, while acquired growth was 10%. Currency movements affected order intake negatively by 2%, or SEK -35 million.

The business climate for the Group remained favourable also during the final quarter of the year. Order intake and net sales both reached record highs for an individual quarter. All business areas except for Industrial Components experienced an increase in order intake during the quarter for comparable units. The positive trend that was noted already during the second quarter of the year, with rising demand for products in the international energy sector, strengthened further during the fourth quarter. In other respects, the close of the year was in line with earlier performance, as the improvement was broad-based and covered most of the business areas and geographic markets in which the Group is active.

Net sales

Net sales for the year totalled SEK 7,994 million (6,745), an increase of 19%. For comparable units the increase was 10%, while acquired growth was 12%. The negative currency effect was 3%, corresponding to an impact on sales of SEK -248 million.

During the fourth quarter, net sales rose 22% to SEK 2,158 million (1,764). The increase for comparable units was 12%, while acquired growth was 12%. Currency movements had a negative effect on net sales by 2%, or SEK -32 million.

The strong business climate is reflected in net sales for the Group's business areas, which reported increases for comparable units ranging from 6% to 23% for the fourth quarter. For the year as a whole, all business areas reported organic growth of 5%–18%.

EBITA MARGIN

NET SALES PER CUSTOMER SEGMENT (%)

Earnings and return

EARNINGS

Operating profit before amortisation of intangible assets (EBITA) amounted to SEK 917 million (703) for the year, an increase of 30%. The operating margin before amortisation of intangible assets (the EBITA margin) was 11.5% (10.4%).

The gross margin was 34.1% (33.6%). The larger margin is attributable to the fact that parts of the Group's Swedish operations were able to benefit from the effects of the stronger Swedish krona, mainly in the beginning of the year. Active work on margin-enhancing measures and a stronger focus within certain businesses also contributed to better margins. The higher business volume also entailed a decrease in the share of fixed product costs – mainly in the Group's manufacturing companies – which also benefited the gross margin.

Net financial items amounted to SEK -93 million (-61), of which net interest expense was SEK -87 million (-60). The increase in net interest expense is attribuable to the Group's higher level of net debt and higher interest rates. Tax on profit for the year was SEK -189 million (-148), corresponding to a tax charge of 25.9% (26.8%). Profit after tax rose 33% to SEK 540 million (405). Earnings per share increased to SEK 13.50 (10.18).

For the fourth quarter, operating profit before amortisation of intangible assets (EBITA) amounted to SEK 251 million (163), an increase of 54%. The operating margin before amortisation of intangible assets (the EBITA margin) was 11.6% (9.2%).

Net financial items for the fourth quarter amounted to SEK -19 million (-18), of which net interest expense was SEK -20 million (-17). Tax on profit for the period totalled SEK -52 million (-37). Profit after tax rose 78% to SEK 155 million (87). Earnings per share were SEK 3.88 (2.20).

Favourable growth for comparable units combined with limited cost increases, a higher gross margin for the year as a whole and good performance for acquired units contributed to the earnings improvement and improved EBITA margin.

All business areas showed higher earnings for the fourth quarter as well as for the year as a whole. Both acquired and comparable companies made a positive contribution to the earnings improvement, while currency effects from translation of foreign units decreased earnings by SEK 32 million for the year and by SEK 7 million for the fourth quarter.

RETURN

The return on operating capital amounted to 26% (23%), and the return on equity was 29% (24%).

Business areas

ENGINEERING & EQUIPMENT

Engineering & Equipment's operations involve sales of components sales as well as customisation, combinations and installations of products from various suppliers. Compared with the other business areas, sales consist to a slightly higher degree of investment goods.

2011 2010 2011 2010
SEK million Oct-Dec Oct-Dec Jan-Dec Jan-Dec
Net sales 438 380 1,627 1,409
EBITA 36 24 128 100
EBITA margin, % 8.2% 6.3% 7.9% 7.1%

Net sales for the year rose 15%, to SEK 1,627 million (1,409). The increase for comparable units was 18%. Acquisitions contributed 3%, while currency movements had a negative effect on net sales, by 6%. During the fourth quarter, net sales rose 16% for comparable units, with 2% from acquisitions and currency movements affecting sales by -3%.

Demand in the Finnish market, where the business area conducts most of its business, remained favourable also during the final quarter of the year. This favourable trend covered most segments of importance for the business area, including the export-oriented engineering industry, the mining industry, domestic and international pulp and paper projects, construction and maintenance, and infrastructure investments such as water and sewage. During the year certain investments were carried out, for example within water and sewage, which led to stronger market positions in these areas. In the Baltic region, which accounts for just under 10% of the business area's sales, activities were focused on the segments with the highest profitability potential.

EBITA for the period rose 28% to SEK 128 million (100), corresponding to an EBITA margin of 7.9% (7.1%). The investments carried out to strengthen the business area's position in interesting and profitable product areas tempered the earnings contribution of the increase in net sales.

In early January the company Dantherm Filtration Oy was acquired, with annual sales of SEK 30 million, and in August a business with annual sales of SEK 17 million was acquired from Enervent Oy.

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.

2011 2010 2011 2010
SEK million Oct-Dec Oct-Dec Jan-Dec Jan-Dec
Net sales 541 439 2,017 1,743
EBITA 57 29 229 155
EBITA margin, % 10.5% 6.6% 11.4% 8.9%

Net sales for the year totalled SEK 2,017 million (1,743), an increase of 16%. The increase for comparable units was 11%, while acquired growth was 8%. Currency movements had a negative effect on net sales, by 3%. During the fourth quarter, net sales rose 23% for comparable units, with 3% from acquisitions and currency movements affecting net sales by -3%.

Demand continued to develop well during the fourth quarter, albeit at a slightly lower rate of increase than during earlier quarters of the year. Most of the business area's customer segments benefited from the strong business climate, including energy and water/sewage, while activity in the pulp and paper segment increased from a weaker market situation in the preceding year. Demand from the marine sector during the year as a whole was stable.

EBITA for the period rose 48% to SEK 229 million (155), and the EBITA margin reached 11.4% (8.9%). The increase in net sales for the year was achieved with limited resource strengthening. Similarly, earnings and the margin were affected by a slight strengthening of the gross margin attributable to the stronger Swedish krona and active work on margin-enhancing measures. Completed acquisitions developed favourably and contributed to the earnings increase.

In June the company Torell Pump AB was acquired, with annual sales of SEK 40 million, and in October the company AG Johansons Metallfabrik AB was acquired, with annual sales of approximately SEK 12 million.

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. The companies in the business area typically work in close co-operation with customers' development, production and maintenance departments. Major emphasis is put on identifying and understanding customers' production processes and needs.

2011 2010 2011 2010
SEK million Oct-Dec Oct-Dec Jan-Dec Jan-Dec
Net sales 427 398 1,580 1,455
EBITA 47 35 183 140
EBITA margin, % 11.0% 8.8% 11.6% 9.6%

Net sales for the year rose 9%, to SEK 1,580 million (1,455). The increase for comparable units was 10%. Acquisitions contributed 1%, while currency movements had a negative effect of 2%. During the fourth quarter, net sales rose 6% for comparable units, with 2% from acquisitions and currency movements -1%.

Demand for products for the general engineering industry, the mining and steel industries, and commercial vehicles on the whole was at high, stable level during the fourth quarter. Some softness was noted in demand for certain components in those sectors, at the same time that demand for capital goods remained strong. The market situation for businesses focused on medical technology was stable and benefited during the year from new product launches.

EBITA for the period rose 31% to SEK 183 million (140), corresponding to an EBITA margin of 11.6% (9.6%). The EBITA margin was favourably affected by the increase in net sales, which was achieved with a limited increase in costs. Some positive impact from the stronger Swedish krona was noted during the year.

In October the company AD MediCal AB was acquired, with annual sales of approximately SEK 30 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.

2011 2010 2011 2010
SEK million Oct-Dec Oct-Dec Jan-Dec Jan-Dec
Net sales 767 554 2,806 2,164
EBITA 118 78 421 342
EBITA margin, % 15.4% 14.1% 15.0% 15.8%

Net sales for the year rose 30% to SEK 2,806 million (2,164), of which sales for comparable units rose 5%. Acquired growth for the year was 28%, while currency movements reduced net sales by 3%. During the fourth quarter, net sales rose 8% for comparable units, with 31% from acquisitions and currency movements affecting sales by -1%.

During the fourth quarter the business area experienced a strong market situation in the international energy market, where demand exceeded deliveries during the quarter as well as for the year as a whole. Demand in other business segments was stable overall during the final quarter of the year. Certain differences were noted geographically, with Benelux softening somewhat compared with the earlier trend at mid-year, while demand in Germany, Sweden and Switzerland remained favourable.

EBITA rose 23% to SEK 421 million (342), and the EBITA margin was 15.0% (15.8%). Apart from the contribution from acquisitions, the earnings improvement is attributable to the increase in net sales for comparable units that was generated with limited increases in resources. The lower EBITA margin for the full year is mainly attributable to the fact that newly acquired units on the whole had lower margins than the business area's previous, average level.

During the year Indutrade acquired the Abima Group, with companies in Switzerland, Austria and Germany; Mijnsbergen b.v. and ATB Automation n.v.-s.a., with operations in the Netherlands and Belgium; Abelko Innovation AB, in Sweden; and Alcatraz Interlocks BV and MW-Instruments BV in the Netherlands. Annual sales of the acquired companies amount to approximately SEK 560 million.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Indutrade Group conducts business in 25 countries in four world regions, through some 160 companies. This spread, 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 2010 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 report on risks that affect the Group and Parent Company, please see the 2010 Annual Report.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

No transactions took place during the year 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 year-end 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 2010 Annual Report.

There are no new IFRSs or IFRIC interpretations that have been adopted by the EU that will be applicable for Indutrade or that will have any material impact on the Group's result of operations or financial position in 2012.

DIVIDEND

The Board of Directors proposes a dividend of SEK 6.75 per share (5.10), for a total dividend payout of SEK 270 million. The proposed dividend is in line with Indutrade's dividend policy to distribute a minimum of 50% of profit after tax over time.

REVIEW REPORT

Introduction

We have reviewed this report for the period 1 January to 31 December 2011 for Indutrade 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 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.

Indutrade normally uses an acquisition structure entailing a base level of consideration plus a contingent earn-out payment. Initially, earn-out payments are valued at the present value of the likely outcome, which for the acquisitions made during the year amounted to SEK 100 million. The earn-out payments fall due for payment within one to four years and can amount to a maximum of SEK 111 million. If the conditions are not met for the maximum earn-out payment, the outcome may be SEK 0.

Transaction costs for the acquisitions carried out during the year amounted to SEK 2 million and are included in "Other income and expenses" in the income statement. No revaluation of conditional earn-out payments has been made.
