COMMENTS FROM OLA ROLLÉN, PRESIDENT AND CEO, HEXAGON AB

"Hexagon is clearly off to a good start in 2011 with record sales for a first quarter. The strong growth in the quarter is coming from all core markets. The revenue growth and the succesful integration of Intergraph explain why Hexagon's core business can post an operating margin slightly above 21 per cent in what normally is a seasonally weak quarter. The integration of Intergraph will be concluded in the second quarter. Already now the business demonstrates its financial and strategic importance and value for the Group. At Hexagon's Capital Markets Day in June, we will present Hexagon's new financial targets for the coming years."

GROUP DEVELOPMENT

The first quarter of 2011 was yet another strong quarter for Hexagon with organic growth in net sales of 18 per cent. The emerging markets continue to grow from already high activity levels. The more mature markets are experiencing stronger growth rates compared to 2010.

As of the first quarter 2011, Hexagon will no longer report order intake numbers. Since a significant part of Hexagons revenue after the Intergraph acquisition consists of software and services contracts, order intake can not be consolidated in a consistent way and is not a valid key metric for the Group.

Geosystems, which represents 36 per cent of Group sales in the first quarter, records an organic growth of 6 per cent in net sales. Metrology which represents 26 per cent of Group sales displays 36 per cent organic growth in net sales. Technology, now including Intergraph, represents 35 per cent of sales.

Intergraph is reported as "structure" in the table below.

MARKET DEVELOPMENT

All geographic regions are displaying double digit organic growth in net sales. Asia and South America are continuing to display strong growth. North America and Europe have accelerated their growth rates compared to the corresponding period in 2010.

EMEA

The demand for Hexagon's products and services in EMEA continued to improve in the first quarter. The organic growth in net sales was 17 per cent. For the Group's core business, Measurement Technologies (MT), organic growth in net sales was 14 per cent. The organic growth in net sales for Other Operations was 46 per cent.

The major markets in Western Europe experienced increased activity levels in the first quarter backed by improved demand for measurement solutions used in connection to infrastructural investments as well as for equipment used in industrial segments such as automotive and aerospace. Demand was also driven by customer investments in CAD software used in power and process industries. Demand in Southern Europe remains weak. Eastern Europe, Russia and the Middle East continue to grow.

Hexagon expects increased demand in EMEA in 2011.

AMERICAS

Americas recorded organic growth in net sales of 17 per cent, in the first quarter.

Several industries in NAFTA are growing such as automotive, aerospace, general engineering and governmental projects related to Hexagon's Technology business. Demand was also strong for products

related to infrastructural improvements and for CAD tools used in connection with the Canadian oil sands. The residential and commercial construction sector remains weak.

Hexagon expects increased demand in NAFTA in 2011.

South America, led by Brazil, showed strong demand for Geosystems, Intergraph's as well as Metrology's products. The mining and oil exploration activity is increasing and Hexagon is gaining market share in these segments.

Hexagon expects increased demand in South America in 2011.

ASIA

Asia recorded continuous strong organic growth during the first quarter. The organic growth in net sales was 20 per cent.

The growth in the region was primarily obtained from strong demand from the Chinese and Indian automotive and aerospace industries. Hexagon also received significant orders from the Chinese power industry and from the marine industry in the region. The growth rate was negatively affected by a delay in the build out of the high speed rail network in China due to the ongoing investigation into the Chinese rail organisation. In addition to India and China, several other markets and industries in the region are growing, as for example, Korea, Australia and parts of Southeast Asia.

Hexagon expects increased demand in Asia in 2011.

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

Hexagon applies International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union. Hexagon's report for the Group is prepared in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" and the Annual Accounts Act. Parent company accounts are prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act. Accounting principles and calculation methods are unchanged from those applied in the Annual Report for 2010 with the following exception: As of 1 January 2011 Hexagon has changed the accounting and presentation currency from Swedish kronor (SEK) to Euro (EUR). The change of accounting currency from SEK to EUR will decrease the currency exposure in both the profit and loss statement as well as in comprehensive income. It will also allow the Hexagon Group to better match debt to the net assets which will have a stabilising effect on certain key ratios that are of importance to Hexagon's cost of capital. The Parent Company will also be affected by the change of accounting currency.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTY FACTORS

As an international group, Hexagon is exposed to a number of business and financial risks. The business risks can be divided into strategic, operational and legal risks. The financial risks are related to such factors as exchange rates, interest rates, liquidity, the giving of credit and financial instruments. The execution of the acquisition of Intergraph implies risk. In addition to company-specific risks, the acquired company's relations with customers, suppliers and key personnel may be negatively affected. There is also a risk that integration processes may prove more costly or more time consuming than estimated and that anticipated synergies in whole or in part fail to materialise. Risk management in Hexagon aims to identify, control and reduce risks. This work begins with an assessment of the probability of risks occurring and their potential effect on the Group. For a detailed description of risks and risk management, see the 2010 Annual Report. The tragic events in Japan has so far not had any significant impact on Hexagon's sales or delivery capabilities in the region or globally. However it can not be ruled out that Hexagon could be affected in the future if some of Hexagon's direct or indirect suppliers should suffer shortages of components from Japanese suppliers.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

No significant events have occurred during the period between quarter-end and date of issuance of this report.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

No significant related party transaction ocurred in the first quarter of 2011.
