The Group's order intake continues to develop well, with organic growth of 14% during the final quarter of the year. However, there are variations between various countries and market segments. The three countries with a clear upward trend are Sweden, Finland and Germany. In the other Nordic countries and Benelux we still have not seen a definite upswing. A partial reason for this is that the downturn for Indutrade was not particularly great in these areas during the general recession in 2009. In Sweden and Finland the upswing has been comparatively broad, even though some customers are still suffering from low capacity utilisation. The pattern is similar in Germany, with favourable growth in many segments. Certain sectors, however, such as the processing industry, are lagging after due to continued overcapacity.
In a comparison of 2010 with 2009, we see two main factors that have had a dampening effect on sales and thus on earnings.
First, in 2009 the Group had substantial invoicing in the energy sector – both for conventional and renewable energy. However, order intake in this segment fell already in the first half of 2009 and is still down, which explains the decrease in invoicing between the two years. Although optimism in this sector is now beginning to return, there is still no clear upward trend in order intake.
Second, through acquisitions Indutrade increased its exposure to the marine sector from mid-year 2010 forward. That entire sector had very weak performance during the autumn. It is positive to note, however, that order intake began to gain momentum towards the end of 2010.
All in all, the signals from the markets in which the Group is active are positive. There are no signs of a weakening in any of Indutrade's markets.
For 2011, indications are strong of continued organic growth in most segments. Added to this are the effects of acquisitions made in 2010 and early 2011.
The EBITA margin for the Group was 10.4% for the full year, which is higher than our target of a minimum of 10% during an economic cycle.
We carried out nine acquisitions in 2010 and an additional four during the start of 2011. In early January we acquired three companies with combined annual sales of approximately SEK 500 million, and in early February we acquired an additional company in Sweden with annual sales of approximately SEK 60 million.

Order intake rose 14% during the year to SEK 6,863 million (6,000). For comparable units, the increase was 9%, while acquired growth was 11%. Currency movements had a negative effect on order intake, by 6%.
During the fourth quarter, growth was on level with the increases reported for the third quarter. Order intake during the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 1,823 million (1,491), an increase of 22%. The growth in order intake for comparable units was 14%. Acquired growth amounted to 15%, while currency movements had a negative effect on order intake, by 7%.
The growth in order intake for comparable units that was noted towards the end of the first quarter successively strengthened thereafter, and since the second quarter of the year, all business areas reported like-for-like quarterly sales growth.
Industrial Components is the business area that was affected the earliest by the economic downturn in 2008; it is also the business area that posted the strongest improvement in order intake in 2010. Stronger industrial activity in Sweden primarily in the automotive and engineering industries has been the driving force behind this improvement. Similarly, our Special Products business area has benefited from improved demand in the Swedish market, while the pace of order intake was lower for companies focusing on energy projects. The shortage of major energy projects also had a dampening effect on growth in order intake for the Flow Technology business area. In the Finnish market, where Engineering & Equipment does most of its business, the business situation improved gradually during the year.
Net sales rose 8% during the year to SEK 6,745 million (6,271). For comparable units, net sales rose 3%, while acquired growth was 11%. Currency movements had a negative effect on net sales, by 6%.
Net sales during the fourth quarter rose 16% to SEK 1,764 million (1,525). For comparable units, net sales rose 11%, while changes in exchange rates during the quarter had a negative effect on net sales, by 7%. Acquired growth was 12%.
All business areas except for Flow Technology showed like-for-like growth of around 20% during the fourth quarter compared with the same quarter a year ago, while Flow Technology had a weaker end to the year.

The gross margin for the full year was 33.6%, an increase of 0.7 percentage points compared with 2009. During the fourth quarter the gross margin was 34.2% (33.7%). The change in the gross margin is essentially attributable to a shift in net sales toward products with higher margins. This is shown by the fact that the business areas with margins above the Group average – Industrial Components and Special Products – have increased their share of consolidated sales.
Operating profit before amortisation of intangible assets (EBITA) amounted to SEK 703 million (594) for the year, an increase of 18%. Profit for the period was charged with SEK 38 million in negative exchange rate difference for the period. The operating margin before amortisation of intangible assets (the EBITA margin) increased to 10.4% (9.5%). The improvement in the EBITA margin is mainly due to the higher gross margin; however, it is also attributable to a slight decrease in relative overheads during the year, partly as a result of cost-cutting measures carried out in 2009 as an adaptation to the business downturn.
Net financial items amounted to SEK -61 million (-64), of which net interest income/expense accounted for SEK -61 million (-62). Tax on profit for the year was SEK -148 million (-120), corresponding to a tax charge of 26.8% (26.0%). Profit after tax increased by 19% to SEK 405 million (341). Earnings per share were SEK 10.18 (8.53).
For the fourth quarter, operating profit before amortisation of intangible assets was SEK 163 million (142), corresponding to an EBITA margin of 9.2% (9.3%). Part of the cost increase that occurred during the fourth quarter – and which explains the drop in the margin compared with the full year – was temporary and partly related to the gradual increase in activity and earnings during the year.
Net financial items during the fourth quarter amounted to SEK -18 million (-13), of which net interest income/expense accounted for SEK -17 million (-12). The increase in net interest expense is attributable to a higher level of net debt. The tax charge for the quarter was SEK -35 million (-26). Profit after tax increased to SEK 87 million (86). Earnings per share for the fourth quarter were SEK 2.20 (2.15).
The return on shareholders' equity was 24% (21%), and the return on operating capital was 23% (22%) for the year.

Net sales decreased by 10% during the year to SEK 1,409 million (1,569). For comparable units, net sales decreased by 1%, while currency movements had a negative effect on net sales, by 10%. Acquisitions contributed +1%. Demand improved gradually during the year in the market segments in Finland in which the business area is active. During the fourth quarter, growth for comparable units was 19%, in contrast to a decrease of 20% during the first quarter of the year.
The increase in EBITA to SEK 100 million (83) and of the EBITA margin to 7.1% (5.3%) is mainly attributable to the effects of cost-cutting measures carried out in 2009.
During the year, Indutrade acquired a pump business from A-Vacuum Oy and the company Flowtech Oy. The company Dantherm Filtration Oy was acquired in early 2011.
Flow Technology components and systems for the management, control and supervision of flows. The main product areas are valves, pumps, measuring and analysis instruments, pipe systems, hydraulics, compressors and service.

| Net sales | 1,743 | 1,689 |

Net sales rose 3% during the year to SEK 1,743 million (1,689). For comparable units, net sales decreased by 2%, while currency movements had a negative effect on net sales, by 2%. Acquired growth was 7%. Lower activity in Norway and Denmark along with a shortage of major energy projects were compensated by sales added through acquisitions and improved demand in other markets.
EBITA for the year decreased by 17% to SEK 155 million (186), and the EBITA margin was 8.9% (11.0%). The lower EBITA margin is an effect of a slightly higher level of overheads combined with a shift in the product mix to business with a slightly lower gross margin.
The companies Corona Control AB and Meson AB were acquired during the year.
Industrial Components offers a wide range of technically advanced components and systems for production and maintenance. The main product areas are fasteners, mechanical components, pumps, lubrications, rust proofing, cutting tools, adhesives and chemical technology, transmission and automation, filters and process technolog, and medical technical technology.

Net sales for the year increased by 25% to SEK 1,455 million (1,163). For comparable units, net sales rose 14%, while acquired growth was also 14%. Currency movements had a negative effect on net sales, by 3%. During the fourth quarter, growth in sales was 30%, of which comparable units and acquisitions both showed 17% gains. Growth for the year was mainly attributable to higher demand for products used in the engineering industry – especially commercial vehicles. Higher activity was also noted for products for the steel and mining industries.
EBITA for the year essentially doubled to SEK 140 million (72), corresponding to an EBITA margin of 9.6% (6.2%). The EBITA margin was favourably affected by a higher volume of deliveries, with limited cost increases owing to cost-cutting programmes carried out in 2009, among other things.
The companies Techno Skruv i Värnamo AB (Sweden) and BiaMediTec Sp. z o.o. (Poland) were acquired during the year.
Special Products offers specially manufactured niche products, design solutions, aftermarket service and assembly, and special processing.

Net sales for the year rose 15% to SEK 2,164 million (1,877). For comparable units, net sales rose 3%, while acquired growth was 19%. Currency movements had a negative effect on net sales, by 7%. Growth was considerably stronger during the second half of the year than in the first half, as comparable units showed an increase of 19% during the latter part of the year. During the year, most of the business area's Swedish companies were favourably affected by improved demand, while companies with products for the international energy sector experienced continued weak demand.
EBITA rose 19% to SEK 342 million (288), and the EBITA margin increased to 15.8% (15.3%). The earnings improvement is attributable to the higher level of sales, while the gross margin and overheads remained essentially unchanged.
During the year, Lekang Group (with companies in Norway, Sweden and Denmark), Stålprofil PK AB, and a construction plastics business were acquired. In early 2011 the Abima Group (with companies in Switzerland, Austria and Germany) and the companies Mijnsbergen B.V. and ATB Automation, with operations in the Netherlands and Belgium, were acquired.
Shareholders' equity amounted to SEK 1,744 million (1,644), and the equity ratio was 36% (41%).

The main functions of Indutrade AB are to take responsibility for business development, acquisitions, financing, business control and analysis. The Parent Company's sales, which consist exclusively of intercompany invoicing of services, amounted to SEK 4 million (1) during the year. The Parent Company's capital expenditures in financial assets, which consist primarily of company acquisitions and capital contributions to subsidiaries, amounted to SEK 351 million (4).

The Indutrade Group conducts business in 25 countries in four world regions, through some 150 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. In addition to the risks and uncertainties described in Indutrade's 2009 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 2009 Annual Report.
No transactions took place during the period between Indutrade and related parties that have significantly affected the Company's financial position or result of operations.
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 2009 Annual Report and described under the section "Accounting principles and notes".
Effective 1 January 2010 the Indutrade Group applies two revised standards: IAS 27R: Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, and IFRS 3R: Business Combinations. The new rules apply for acquisitions completed after 1 January 2010. For Indutrade, these revisions entail that transaction costs may no longer be capitalised, but must be recognised through profit or loss under Other income and expenses in the income statement. Any revaluations of conditional earn-out payments for acquisitions carried out on 1 January 2010 and thereafter will be recognised in profit or loss.
The amendments to IFRS 3 regarding recognition of transaction costs are in conflict with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, which is why in the Parent Company's accounting, transaction costs will continue to be capitalised and included in financial assets.
Apart from these two revised standards, no other IFRSs or IFRIC interpretations have been adopted by the EU that will be applicable for Indutrade or have any material impact on the Group's result of operations or financial position.
In connection with the Company's stock market introduction in late 2005, in collaboration with AB Industrivärden, senior executives were offered to participate in an incentive programme that expired in June 2010. In May, AB Industrivärden repurchased all outstanding options from the participants.
The Board of Directors of Indutrade has, in collaboration with AB Industrivärden and after a decision by the Annual General Meeting, directed an offer to senior executives to participate in a new incentive programme. The aim of the programme is to promote management's long-term participation and involvement in the Company. The programme runs through 31 October 2013.
Forty-nine senior executives have acquired a total of 362,000 call options, issued by AB Industrivärden, and 10,000 shares. Indutrade is paying a subsidy of SEK 22 for each acquired call option and share, under the condition that the participants remain employed and keep their acquired call options/shares. The subsidy will
be paid by the Company to the participants on two occasions and in two equal parts – in December 2011 and June 2013. The total cost for the Company will amount to approximately SEK 9 million, or approximately SEK 3 million per year.
The Board of Directors proposes a dividend of SEK 5.10 (4.30) per share, for a total dividend payout of SEK 204 million. The proposed dividend is in line with Indutrade's dividend policy to pay, over time, a dividend equivalent to at least 50% of profit after tax.
The 2010 Annual Report will be published in early April 2011. It will be available on Indutrade's website starting on the same date as publication of the printed report.
The Annual General Meeting will be held in Stockholm on 27 April 2011.
The interim report for the period 1 January - 31 March 2011 will be published on 27 April 2011. The interim report for the period 1 January - 30 June 2011 will be published on 3 August 2011. The interim report for the period 1 January - 30 September 2011 will be published on 1 November 2011.

Preliminary purchase price allocation
Agencies, customer relations, licenses, etc. will be amortized over a 10-year period, while trademarks are assumed to have a perpetual lifetime. Trademarks are included in the amount of SEK 59 million.
Indutrade normally uses an acquisition structure with a base level of consideration plus a conditional earn-out payment. Initially, the earn-out payment is valued at the present value of the most probable payment, which for the acquisitions made during the year is SEK 74 million. The earn-out payments fall due for payment within two years and can amount to a maximum of SEK 250 million. If the conditions are not met for the maximum earn-out payment, the outcome will be SEK 30 million at the lowest.
Transaction costs for the acquisitions carried out during the period amounted to SEK 1 million and are included in Other income and expenses in the income statement. No revaluation of conditional earn-out payments has been made to date.
