CEO's comments

"Following a good start in Q1 2011, Nederman has recorded a continued strong order intake in the second quarter. Compared with the corresponding quarter of 2010 the increase is 18.4% (pro forma). Measured in local currency this has been one of the strongest quarters ever for Nederman concerning orders received, and the Group ends the quarter with an order backlog that is around 20% higher in local currency than was the case at the end of Q2 2010. Profitability also continues to develop as planned, despite the currency situation continuing to impact negatively on earnings." Sven Kristensson, CEO

Pro forma

To make it easier to follow the financial development of the Group, as a complement, pro forma figures are presented for all reporting periods including for the two operating segments in which Dantherm Filtration is a part, as though we had owned them for the whole of 2010. The divested business (Dantherm Filtration Finland) is excluded from these figures.

Development per operating segment

Europe

Sweden reported very strong orders received during the quarter. The trend is positive and there is strong activity in the market. The major order (worth SEK 30m) from Stena Aluminium for filter solutions at the smelting plant in Älmhult, shows that Nederman's offering to customer has become stronger following the acquisition and integration of Dantherm Filtration. Activities at the Swedish sales company have been concentrated into Helsingborg and Arboga.

In Denmark the market remains weak overall, but despite this we have a stable level of orders mainly within solutions for the timber processing industry and wind turbine production.

The Norwegian market is stable, with a large portion of orders coming from the oil industry and vehicle repair shops. Closure of Nederman's plant in Sandefjord has been completed and production has been transferred to Sweden.

The market in the UK remains weak, but Nederman is winning market share and thanks to this, is able to maintain stable invoicing and order intake. There is a good level of activity on the market for our solutions focused on metal processing machinery – for example treatment and recycling of cutting fluids and conversion of metal dust into briquettes. During the quarter Nederman was chosen as "Best Supplier" by toolmaker Buck & Hickman.

France and Belgium have reported good orders received in the quarter and trends in both countries are positive.

In Poland we are reporting a good level of orders received in the foundries and composite processing sectors, and from smaller vehicle repair shops. The transfer of production from Arboga, Sweden, to Nederman's production plant in Marki, Poland, has been completed.

During the quarter we had a good level of orders received in the Czech Republic for solutions focused on emergency vehicles.

In Germany the trends for invoicing and orders received are positive. A new global Nederman concept for solutions aimed at foundries was launched at the Gifa exhibition in Düsseldorf in June. A new CEO took over in charge of Nederman's German sales office during the quarter and we are aiming to further strengthen this organization.

Countries in Southern Europe are still struggling with the debt crisis and high unemployment. Despite this and thanks to our strong market position we are noting a stable level of orders within project sales in Spain. In south-east Europe, Turkey is becoming an increasingly interesting market, especially within vehicle repair shops and emergency vehicles.

1 Jan-30 June Full year July-June
SEK m 2011 2010 2010 12 months
Incoming orders 771.3 717.7 1,384.2 1,437.8
Net sales 662.4 693.3 1,424.2 1,393.3
Depreciation -10.9 -13.2 -23.9 -21.6
Operating profit 64.8 44.4 120.8 141.2

Incoming orders for the period amounted to SEK 771.3m, which is an increase of 15.2 per cent adjusted for currency effects, compared to the same period last year.

The order from Stena Aluminium made a strong contribution, but the underlying trend in orders received also developed well.

Net sales for the period amounted to SEK 662.4m, which is an increase of 3.1 per cent adjusted for currency effects, compared to the same period last year.

International

Nederman China continues to develop as planned and we are currently noting a good level of orders from the metal fabrication industry. The expansion of production capacity in the wind power industry has entered a calmer phase, which we judge to be temporary. Increased orders are coming both from direct sales and via our network of retailers and distributors. Nederman continues to expand its geographical presence in China both via more local sales offices and by expanding the number of retailers and distributors. Nederman has also strengthened its sales organisation and made a number of important recruitments during the period.

Demand in China remains strong in general, although high inflation and the risk of faltering liquidity on the market are possible causes of concern.

Markets in South East Asia showed continued positive development, with increased orders received. The Indonesian market is developing rapidly and, during the year, Nederman will open its own office in the country. In Thailand we have noted a growing willingness to invest. Nederman is currently developing the plant in Bangkok to become a hub to provide support to the other sales companies in the region.

The Indian market is strong and orders received in Q2 were the highest since Nederman entered this market. During the second half of the quarter we received breakthrough orders in the foundry sector and received a number of orders from wind turbine makers. To meet demand, Nederman's organisation is continually being expanded. Nederman's retail network for the metal fabrication and welding sectors grew significantly over the quarter.

In Australia we noted increased orders in Q2 both in the metal fabrication industry and vehicle repair shops. Previously, Nederman was mainly active in solutions for the welding sector, but we are now following a growth strategy for both vehicle repair shops and larger filter solutions. The latter was added to the range through the acquisition of Dantherm Filtration.

Brazil continues to develop positively and the country's economy is experiencing steady growth.

In the US the country's financial problems are causing uncertainty and holding back demand. Nederman's invoicing and orders received, however, remained stable over the quarter. Integration activities have been completed in the US, and the business is now concentrated at Thomasville, North Carolina.

Trends in Canada remain positive.

Depreciation -6.5 -6.3 -14.8 -15.0
Operating profit 30.2 14.8 37.2 52.6

Incoming orders for the period amounted to SEK 288,6m, which is an increase of 19.6 per cent adjusted for currency effects, compared to the same period last year.

Net sales for the period amounted to SEK 270.0m, which is an increase of 15.2 per cent adjusted for currency effects, compared to the same period last year.

Integration of acquisition

The integration of Dantherm Filtration continues as planned. All of the defined integration sub-projects have started and half of them are already completed. No further non-recurring costs were incurred in Q2 which means that non-recurring costs so far total SEK 79.2m, of which SEK 35.6m was in 2011. During Q3 we will be able to make a more accurate estimate of the total of non-recurring costs. As previously announced, this figure will not exceed SEK 100m.

Outlook

Uncertainty regarding worldwide economic development has increased, making forecasting more difficult. The general outlook varies greatly between different geographical markets and application areas. Nederman however, makes the assessment that for the group as a whole, demand will remain good in the second half of the year.

Quarter 2

Sales and incoming orders

Incoming orders were SEK 574.1m (458.8), which adjusted for currency effects and acquisitions is an increase of 18.4 per cent compared to the same quarter last year.

Net sales amounted to SEK 473.4m (423.9), which adjusted for currency effects and acquisitions is an increase of 2.8 per cent compared to the same quarter last year.

Earnings

The operating profit for the second quarter was SEK 37.9m (11.5). Adjusted for acquisition and restructuring costs, the operating profit was SEK 37.9m (25.8), giving an operating margin of 8.0 per cent (6.1), The operating margin increased in comparison to last year largely as a result of the restructuring activities completed so far. The strong Swedish krona continues to have a negative impact on the result of the group. No additional acquisition or restructuring expenses have been charged to the profit and loss account during the quarter.

The profit before tax increased to SEK 30.7m (5.9). The net profit was SEK 23.7m (3.6), giving earnings per share of SEK 2.02 (0.31).

Operating cash flow and capital expenditure

The operating cash flow was SEK 24.8m (27.9). Capital expenditure during the quarter was SEK 6.5m (3.9).

January - June

Sales and incoming orders

Incoming orders was SEK 1,059.9m (699.6), which adjusted for currency effects, acquisitions and disposals is an increase of 16.4 per cent. The strong growth can be attributed partly to the two large orders from Stena Aluminium and Siemens Windmills amounting in total to SEK 45m, but also to the fact that the underlying level of orders received progressed well.

Net sales amounted to SEK 932.4m (664.2), which adjusted for currency effects, acquisitions and divestments is an increase of 6.4 per cent.

Earnings

The operating profit for the period was SEK 43.6m (20.8). The operating profit includes a gain of SEK 9.5m on the disposal of the Dantherm Filtration in Finland. Adjusted for this and excluding acquisition and restructuring costs, the operating profit was SEK 70.1m (35.1), giving an operating margin of 7.5 per cent (5.3).

The operating margin increased in comparison to last year due to increased volumes and as a result of the restructuring activities completed so far. The operating margin however has been negatively affected by the strong Swedish krona.

SEK 35,6m in restructuring costs have been charged to the profit and loss account, all during the first quarter of the year.

Return on operating capital increased to 15% compared to 8,6% last year. This is due partly to improved operating margins but also to an improved capital turnover rate.

The profit before tax increased to SEK 26.4 m (12.9). The net profit was SEK 20.4m (8.6), giving earnings per share of SEK 1.74 (0.73).

Operating cash flow and capital expenditure

The operating cash flow was SEK 27.3m (27.1). An improved operating profit has been partly countered by an increased working capital due to higher volumes.

Capital expenditure during the period was SEK 10.8m (5.1), of which capitalised development costs amounted to SEK 1.2m (1.5).

Other financial information

Liquidity: At the end of the period the Group had SEK 170.2m in cash and cash equivalents as well as SEK 76.1m in available but unutilised overdraft facilities. In addition there was a credit facility of SEK 182.0m, which is a part of Nederman's loan agreement with SEB.

The equity in the Group as of 30 June 2011 amounted to SEK 493.3m (523.8). An ordinary dividend of 1.50 SEK per share was paid to shareholders in the second quarter, amounting in total to SEK 17.5m. The total number of shares was 11,715,340 at the end of the period.

The equity/assets ratio for the Group was 29.9 per cent as of 30 June 2011 (31.2). The net financial debt/equity ratio, calculated as net debt in relation to equity was 87.2 per cent (91.3).

Number of employees

The average number of employees during the quarter was 1,414 (911). The number of employees at the end of the period was 1,428 (1,466).

Risks and uncertainties

The Nederman Group and the parent company are exposed to a number of risks, mainly due to purchasing and selling of products in foreign currencies. The risks and uncertainties are described in detail in the Directors' Report on page 26 and in note 26 of the 2010 Annual Report. No circumstances have arisen to change the assessment of identified risks.

Accounting policies

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The report for the parent company has been prepared in accordance with Swedish Annual Accounts Act and RFR 2.3. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as approved by the EU commission. Nederman applies the same accounting policies and valuation principles as described in the 2010 Annual Report, pages 35-38.

The interim report provides a true and fair overview of the Parent Company and the Group's operations, position and earnings and describes the material risks and uncertainty factors faced by the Parent Company and the Group.
