" Overall it was a good quarter. The organic sales growth in the quarter was high (10 percent) and EBIT grew 43 percent from SEK 75 million to SEK 107 million, excluding one-off time costs.
The volume increase, which is the main reason for the growth in EBIT, was supported by continued good momentum in several markets as well as the mild winter weather. The Nordic region had high growth with Sweden, Denmark and Norway all performing strongly. In Western Europe, Lindab's major markets the UK and Germany contributed well whilst in CEE/CIS, Russia and Belarus were particularly strong. For the year as a whole, thanks to selective sales initiatives and in spite of challenging economic conditions, we increased market shares in many countries. This contributed to the full year organic sales growth of 9 percent in spite of an almost flat underlying market.

Our business is late cyclical and no signs of changing demand due to the Euro crisis have been experienced so far. Demand in Q1 2012 will be more affected by the winter weather than by the current market uncertainty.
Spot prices for steel started to rise in December and are likely to continue upwards in the coming months. We will now start to adjust our sales prices accordingly to compensate.
" In early January we announced a new near term EBIT target of 10 percent with the goal of achieving this run rate before the end of 2013 and for the full year 2014. At the same time we also announced a SEK 150 m cost reduction programme, particularly targeting lower performance markets, which will support the near term target.

Why? Because at Lindab we think that less is more. We simplify construction for our customers while we are working to lessen the impact on the environment.
Our steel solutions help our customers to use less effort and less energy. At the same time, they generate less greenhouse gas emissions and lessen the carbon footprint.

Sales revenue during the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 1,855 m (1,697), an increase of 9 percent compared with the fourth quarter of 2010. Adjusted for currency, the increase was 10 percent. Structural changes had a marginal effect on sales revenue.
All business areas and all of the principal regions contributed positively to the organic growth. The mild winter has contributed to the increased sales, especially for the Building Components business area. There was no impact on demand during the quarter stemming from the uncertain economic situation within the EU.
Sales in the Nordic region have risen during the quarter by 16 percent, also when adjusted for currency and structure. The region is showing good growth, with Sweden, Denmark and Norway, Lindab's largest markets in the region, all showing strong growth. The mild winter contributed towards the improvement compared with the previous year.
Sales in Western Europe increased by 6 percent when adjusted for currency and structure. The majority of markets in the region have contributed with positive growth, including the UK and Germany, which are the largest markets.
Sales in the CEE/CIS increased by 9 percent when adjusted for currency and structure. The region experienced slightly weaker growth than in previous quarters during the year. Russia and Belarus continued to contribute the strongest growth in the region, while markets such as Poland and Romania reported negative sales for the quarter.
Sales revenue for the period January–December amounted to SEK 6,878 m (6,527), which is an increase of 5 percent compared with the corresponding period the previous year. Adjusted for currency and structure, the increase amounted to 9 percent.
Euroconstruct (an independent forecasting organisation for the construction industry that covers 19 European countries) issued its bi-annual report on 9 November, updating its construction forecasts for the coming years. In general, the forecasts are based on data that has been compiled in the early autumn and the forecasts have been revised downwards compared with the previous report in June 2011.
Adjusting Euroconstruct's forecasts to take account of Lindab's geographical mix, segment exposure and late cyclicality, Lindab's underlying market growth will amount to 1 percent for 2012 and just over 2 percent for 2013 (down from the previous figures of 2 and 3 percent respectively).

Operating profit (EBIT) for the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 107 m (75), excluding one-off items of SEK –42 m (–110), see note 5.
Increased volumes during the quarter are the
reason for the improved profit. Meanwhile, a somewhat higher cost level and lower gross margins affected the profit negatively in the quarter.
The cost-reduction programme announced at the start of 2012 includes a small number of activities that began in late 2011, which resulted in one-off costs of SEK 22 m for the quarter. Additional oneoff costs of SEK 20 m reserved during the quarter are explained by the change in management for the Building Systems business area as well as by the write-down of assets resulting primarily from overcapacity in production units in the CEE. For the corresponding quarter in 2010, one-off items amounted to SEK 110 m, see note 5.
The operating margin (EBIT) for the fourth quarter, excluding one-off items, amounted to 5.8 percent (4.4).
The pre-tax result for the quarter amounted to SEK 22 m (–79). The after-tax result amounted to SEK –5 m (–86). Earnings per share amounted to SEK –0.07 (–1.14). The average share price during the fourth quarter of 2011 has been lower than the conversion rates in the incentive programmes, therefore no dilutive effects have occurred.
Operating profit (EBIT) for the period January– December, excluding one-off items, increased by 17 percent to SEK 407 m (347). Higher volumes are the reason for the improved profit during the year. Meanwhile, lower gross profit margins and higher costs have had a negative impact. The lower gross margin is explained mainly by greater

price pressure combined with falling steel prices from the third quarter, making it difficult to compensate for goods produced with steel that had been bought earlier at higher prices. The higher costs are explained mainly by a number of strategic activities that have been undertaken during the year.
The profit for the period January–December has been affected by one-off costs totalling SEK –59 m (–63). The one-off costs are explained mainly by the cost reduction programme, management changes for the Building Systems and Ventilation business areas, the write-down of tangible fixed assets and the transfer of production from St. Petersburg in Russia to Tallinn in Estonia. One-off items for 2010 totalled SEK –63 m, see note 5.
The operating margin (EBIT) for the same period, excluding one-off items, amounted to 5.9 percent (5.3).
The pre-tax result for the period January–December amounted to SEK 186 m (112). The after-tax result amounted to SEK 91 m (27). Earnings per share amounted to SEK 1.21 (0.36).
On 10 January 2012, a cost-reduction programme was announced that is estimated to save approximately SEK 150 m annually. The plan has started to be rolled out and will be completed before the end of the second quarter. It is mainly aimed at low performing business units within the Group and includes a headcount reduction of 250 people, plus reduced operating expenses. A small number of activities that began in late 2011 have resulted in one-off costs of SEK 22 m for the quarter. The total one-off costs for the quarter are estimated at approximately SEK 110 m, which will be recorded up to the second quarter of 2012.
Lindab's operations are affected by seasonal variations in the construction industry, and the greatest proportion of sales is normally seen during the second half of the year. The most substantial seasonal variations are to be found within the Building Components and Building Systems business areas. The Ventilation business area is less dependent on seasons and the weather since the installation of ventilation systems is mainly carried out indoors.
There is normally a deliberate stock build-up of mainly finished goods during the first six months, which gradually becomes a stock reduction during the third and fourth quarters as a result of increased activity within the construction market.
Total depreciation/amortisation for the quarter amounted to SEK 34 m (36). In addition, there has been a SEK 11 m (0) write-down of tangible fixed assets. In 2010, a SEK 110 m write-down of goodwill was made relating to the Ventilation business area's operations in the USA.
Total depreciation/amortisation for the period January–December amounted to SEK 152 m (170), of which SEK 11 m (0) is attributable to the aforementioned write-downs, and SEK 0 m (6) relates to consolidated amortisation of surplus value on intangible assets. The lower depreciation/amortisation is mainly due to the implemented restructuring measures and the fact that Lindab has had a lower rate of investment in recent years. In 2010, there was a SEK 110 m write-down of goodwill, as detailed above. For certain intangible assets, the amortisation was completed during the third quarter of 2010.

Tax expenses for the quarter amounted to SEK 27 m (7). The pre-tax result amounted to SEK 22 m (–79). The actual tax rate for the quarter was 123 percent (23 excluding the write-down of goodwill in 2010). During the quarter, there was a SEK 19 m reversal of deferred taxes on losses carried forward.

Tax expenses for the full year were SEK 95 m (85). The pre-tax result amounted to SEK 186 m (112). The actual tax rate was 51 percent (38 excluding the write-down of goodwill in 2010). The higher actual tax rate for the year is explained primarily by a SEK 30 m reversal of deferred tax on losses carried forward and higher non-deductible expenses compared with last year.
The average tax rate was 25 percent (28 excluding the write-down of goodwill in 2010). The discrepancy between the actual and the average tax rate for the full year is primarily due to adjustments to taxes attributable to previous years, such as the reversal of deferred taxes on losses carried forward. Other influencing factors include fiscal adjustments to reported earnings, such as nondeductible expenses and non-capitalised tax on deficits in some Group companies.
Cash flow from operating activities amounted to SEK 252 m (324) for the fourth quarter, generated mainly through lower working capital of SEK 162 m (207). Tax payments have had a negative effect compared with the previous year, 2010, when tax reimbursements were received relating to 2009.
For the period January–December, the cash flow from operating activities decreased to SEK 345 m (391), despite the improved working capital of SEK 41 m (–1). In the previous year, the cash flow from operating activities, adjusted for items not affecting cash flow, contained a positive item relating to redeemed forward exchange agreements. The decrease is also explained by the negative impact of tax payments compared with the previous year.
Cash flow from investing activities is reported under the headings "Investments" and "Company acquisitions and divestments".
Financing activities for the period January–December gave a cash flow of SEK –202 m (–616) net, consisting mainly of SEK –127 m (–623) in decreased borrowing and SEK –75 m (0) in paid dividends.
Investments in fixed assets amounted to SEK
45 m (47) for the quarter, while divestments amounted to SEK 8 m (62). In the fourth quarter of 2010, some properties were sold for a total sum of SEK 49 m. Cash flow from investing activities amounted to SEK –43 m (15) net. When adjusted for acquisitions and divestments, the cash flow was affected by SEK –37 m (15).
Investments during the period January–December, excluding acquisitions and divestments, amounted to SEK 172 m (237). Investments amounted to SEK –143 m (–128), while divestments amounted to SEK 22 m (365). In the previous year, divestments consisted mainly of the sale of the Building Systems facility in Luxembourg for SEK 285 m. Building Systems has received Government grants of SEK 7 m (-) in Luxembourg for the partial funding of proprietary software. Cash flow from investing activities amounted to SEK –143 m (241) net, of which acquisitions amounted to SEK –32 m (4) and divestments totalling SEK 3 m (0).
On 1 November 2011, Lindab acquired Elia, a ventilation distributor with a strong local presence in southern France. The company has an annual turnover of approximately SEK 20 m and 5 employees. The purchase price amounted to SEK 6 m and the acquisition gave a consolidated goodwill of SEK 5 m. The cash flow was negatively affected by SEK 6 m.
On 21 July 2011, Lindab divested the Swiss subsidiary Benone, with operations in the Ventilation business area, an annual turnover of approx. SEK 30 m and 16 employees. The sale price amounted to SEK 4 m. The divestment positively affected cash flow by SEK 3 m, but there was no change in consolidated goodwill.
On 23 May 2011, Lindab acquired the Belgian company Airflux, a ventilation distributor with three outlets in Belgium, one of which is a distribution centre and two are unmanned branches. The company has an annual turnover of just over SEK 20 m and 5 employees. The purchase price amounted to SEK 14 m. The acquisition means that the consolidated goodwill increased by SEK 10 m and the cash flow was negatively affected by SEK 14 m.
The Danish distributor of ventilation fans, Juvenco, with an annual turnover of approximately SEK 13 m, was acquired on 19 April 2011. The purchase price amounted to SEK 12 m. The acquisition means that the consolidated goodwill increased by SEK 10 m and the cash flow was negatively affected by SEK 12 m. The company has 4 employees.
During the period January–December 2010, the property company Lindab Fastigheter AB was acquired (formerly LB Kiel Linden AB). The company leases out properties to Swedish companies in the Group. The purchase price amounted to SEK 1 m. At the end of March 2010, IVK-Tuote Oy in Finland was acquired for SEK 43 m. Because the acquisition was paid for using treasury shares, the cash flow from investing activities was only affected positively by the company's SEK 4 m in cash and cash equivalents.
Net-debt decreased to SEK 1,747 m (1,856) at 31 December 2011. Currency fluctuations have had a marginal effect on the net debt during the year. In 2010, the strengthened Swedish krona resulted in the net-debt decreasing by approximately SEK 120 m. The equity/assets ratio amounted to 42 percent (42) and the net debtequity ratio was 0.6 (0.7).
Net financial income during the quarter was SEK –43 m(–44). For the period January–December, net financial income amounted to SEK –162 m (–172).
The existing credit agreement with Nordea and Handelsbanken has been extended. The total credit limit is SEK 3,000 m (previously SEK 3,500 m) and runs until February 2015.
There have not been any significant changes to pledged assets and contingent liabilities during 2011.
The parent company had no sales during the quarter. The after-tax result for the period amounted to SEK 59 m (61). For the period January–December, the corresponding result was SEK 0 m (9).
There have been no changes to what was stated by Lindab in its Annual Report for 2010 under Risks and risk management (pages 94–98).
The number of employees at the end of the quarter, converted to full-time employment, totalled 4,347 (4,381).
The Board has decided that the Annual General Meeting will be held on 9 May 2012. Notice to attend the meeting will be sent out in due course.
The Annual General Meeting 2011 decided, in accordance with the Board's proposal, to introduce a long-term incentive programme in the form of a performance-based share savings programme. The offer has been made to 92 participants in various management positions and senior executives at Lindab. Participation in the programme requires participants to make an initial investment in Lindab shares. The offer has been accepted by 79 people who have thereby acquired a total of 62,711 Lindab shares. Participation entitles the holder to receive new shares, provided that certain requirements are met. Performance is measured in the financial year for 2013 and compared to the financial year for 2010. On maximum allocation, 270,344 Lindab shares will be transferred to the participants. The cost of the programme is estimated to be about SEK 5 m. Further information can be found under Corporate Governance at www.lindabgroup.com.
The highest price paid for Lindab shares during the period January–December was SEK 95.80 on 18 January, and the lowest was SEK 31.84 on 14 December 2011. The closing price on 30 December 2011 was SEK 37.40. The average daily trading volume of Lindab shares was 159,200 shares per day (186,347).
Lindab holds 3,375,838 treasury shares (3,375,838), equivalent to 4.3 percent (4.3) of the total number of Lindab shares. The number of outstanding shares totals 75,331,982 (75,331,982), while the total number of shares is 78,707,820.

Sales revenue during the fourth quarter increased by 8 percent compared with the corresponding period the previous year, totalling SEK 938 m (870). Adjusted for currency effects and structure, sales revenue increased by 8 percent. The acquisitions of Juvenco, Airflux and Elia, plus the divestment of Benone, have marginally affected sales revenue during the quarter.
The business area's main segment is non-residential construction. Ventilation installations are generally conducted late in the construction phase so the recent increased market uncertainty has not affected demand. Sales in the business area are showing organic growth in all European regions. In the Nordic region, the three major markets of Sweden, Denmark and Norway, all contributed with positive growth. Demand has particularly increased in Denmark and Norway during the quarter. in Western Europe, the largest markets Germany and the UK show good growth. Central and Eastern Europe, which account for a small proportion of sales, have had very strong growth during the quarter, driven by the increased synergies with Building Systems in Belarus and the delivery of an order to Audi in Hungary.
Sales revenue for the year amounted to SEK 3,612 m (3,535). Adjusted for currency and structure, sales revenue increased by 5 percent.
The acquisitions made earlier in the year have shown positive growth during the quarter and the integration work has continued as planned.
Operating profit (EBIT) for the fourth quarter, excluding one-off items, amounted to SEK 45 m (32). The operating margin (EBIT) amounted to 4.8 percent (3.7). Higher volumes compared with the corresponding quarter last year are the reason for the improved profit.
One-off items for the quarter amounted to SEK –6 m (–110) and relate to restructuring costs. One-off items for the fourth quarter of 2010 related to the write-down of goodwill for the operating activities in Lindab Inc, USA.
Operating profit (EBIT) for the year, excluding oneoff items of SEK –23 m, amounted to SEK 221 m (189), corresponding to an increase of 17 percent. The operating margin (EBIT) for the year amounted to 6.1 percent (5.3).
The market presence in southern France has been strengthened during the quarter through the acquisition of the French distributor Elia Sarl.
The business area has received a couple of significant orders during the quarter. An order of SEK 12 m is for a new production unit for Audi in Hungary, with deliveries commencing during the quarter. In December, an order was received worth just over SEK 10 m for a ventilation system in the construction of an underwater barrier that will protect Venice from flooding.
InCapsa was launched at the end of the quarter, a patent pending complete ventilation solution, which is aimed at improving energy efficiency for the residential sector in the Nordic market.

Lindab has developed a patent-pending "all-inone" system for energy-efficient ventilation, In-Capsa. It consists of Lindab's renowned ductsystem and discreet covering in white-lacquered steel. The ventilation installer completes the entire system including the covering five times quicker than with traditional methods.
Sales revenue increased by 16 percent to SEK 622 m (538). Adjusted for currency effects, sales increased by 18 percent during the quarter.
The business area, which has sales within the residential and non-residential segments, showed strong growth during the quarter compared with the previous year. The mild winter has had a positive effect. Sales in the Nordic market are explained mainly by the extremely strong growth in the Swedish market, which recorded record sales both for the quarter and the full year. Sales in the CEE/CIS developed positively, driven mainly by the Czech Republic and Hungary, which are important markets for the business area.
Sales revenue for the year increased by 7 percent to SEK 2,268 m (2,118). Adjusted for currency and structure the increase was 10 percent.
Operating profit (EBIT) for the quarter, excluding one-off items, amounted to SEK 44 m (26). The operating margin (EBIT) amounted to 7.1 percent (4.8) for the quarter. Higher volumes are the reason for the improved profit. One-off items for the quarter amounted to SEK –20 m (0) and related to restructuring costs and the write-down of assets in production units in the CEE.
Operating profit (EBIT) for the year, excluding oneoff items of SEK –20m, amounted to SEK 192 m (185), corresponding to an increase of 4 percent. The operating margin (EBIT) for the year amounted to 8.5 percent (8.7).
The focus on distribution is continuing and new branches opened during the quarter on the island of Gotland in Sweden and in southern Germany. The extended distribution is a co-operation with the Ventilation business area. 20 new Rainline/ Lindab centres were also added during the quarter.

1) The Annual General Meeting in 2010 resolved to issue 784,000 warrant options to senior executives. 771,000 were subscribed to and SEK 7 m has been received as payment regarding these.
2) The 2011 Annual General Meeting resolved to implement a long-term share-based incentive programme. The offering has been aimed at 92 participants in various management positions and senior executives at Lindab. 79 have accepted the offer and have thus acquired 62,711 Lindab shares. Upon maximum allocation, 270,344 shares will be transferred to the participants. These have been secured through share swaps with third parties, which means no dilution occurs.
The share capital of SEK 78,707,820 is divided among 78,707,820 shares with a face value of SEK 1.00. Lindab International holds 3,375,838 (3,375,838) treasury shares, corresponding to 4.3 percent (4.3) of the total number of Lindab shares, following the buy-back in 2008 and company acquisitions paid for using treasury shares in 2010.
The Annual General Meeting on 11 May 2011 resolved to pay a dividend to shareholders of SEK 1.00 per share, corresponding to SEK 75 m. No dividend was paid in the previous year. The Annual General Meeting resolved that the remainder of the retained earnings of SEK 620 m would be carried forward.

**) Average capital is based on the quarterly values.
The consolidated accounts for the fourth quarter and the period January–December 2011, as for the annual accounts for 2010, have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU, the Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board RFR 1, Supplementary Accounting Rules for Groups.
This quarterly report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34.
The Group uses the same accounting policies as described in the Annual Report for 2010. None of the new or revised standards, interpretations and improvements that have been adopted by the EU and that must be applied from 1 January 2011 have had an effect on the Group.
The parent company's financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act (ÅRL) and RFR 2, Accounting for legal entities, and according to the same principles that were applied to the Annual Report for 2010.
Significant estimates and assumptions are described in Note 4 in the Annual Report for 2010.
There have not been any changes made to anything that could have a material impact on the interim report.
Lindab's operations are managed and reported by business area, which is consistent with the segmentation.
The Ventilation business area offers duct systems and accessories, as well as indoor climate solutions for ventilation, cooling and heating. The Building Components business area offers steel products and systems for roof drainage, roof and wall cladding, as well as steel profiles for wall, roof and beam constructions. The Building Systems Systems business area offers complete pre-engineered steel building systems. Solutions comprise the entire outer shell with frames, walls, roofs and accessories. Other comprises parent company functions including Group Treasury.
Information about revenues from external customers, operating profit and the pre-tax result by operating segment is shown in the tables on page 7.
Revenues from other segments total small amounts and a breakdown of this sum by segment therefore does not offer any additional value.
Inter-segment transfer pricing is determined on an arms-length basis i.e. between parties that are independent of one another, are well informed and have an interest in the implementation of the transaction. Assets and investments are reported wherever the asset is located.
No changes have occurred in the fundamentals for segmentation or in the calculation of the segment's profit since the last Annual Report was issued.
Assets per segment that have changed by more than ten percent compared with the end of 2010 are shown below:
Lindab's inner circle and the extent of transactions with related parties are described in note 30 of the 2010 Annual Report. IAS 24, Related party disclosures, has been amended and is effective for financial years beginning from and including January 2011. The changes have no impact on the Group however.
During the year, no transactions have taken place between Lindab and related parties that have had a significant impact on the company's position and results. However, the subsidiary Benone has been sold in part to the CEO in accordance with the resolution taken at the Annual General Meeting on 11 May 2011. The transfer does not have any material impact on the company's financial position and results.

David Brodetsky President and CEO
To the Board of Directors of Lindab International AB (publ) Corporate ID no. 556606-5446
We have performed a review of the condensed interim financial statements (fourth quarter and full year report) for Lindab International AB (publ) at December 31, 2011 and the twelve months' period then ended. The Board of Directors and the President are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this fourth quarter and full year report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this fourth quarter and full year report based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements SÖG 2410 "Review of Interim Financial Information 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 the International Standards on Auditing, ISA and other generally accepted auditing practices. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain a level of assurance that would make us aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Therefore, the conclusion expressed based on a review does not give the same level of assurance as a conclusion expressed based on an audit.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the fourth quarter and full year 2011 report, in all material aspects, is not prepared for the Group in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and for the Parent company in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act.
