COMMENTS BY THE PRESIDENT AND CEO

"The market conditions continued to improve during the second quarter and the Group grew by 10%, whereof 2% organic growth," says Johan Molin, President and CEO. "Asia and South America grew strongly while Europe showed a positive trend at the same time as the sales decline on the North American market was limited to -4%.

"Sales and profit reached record levels, and the operating margin developed in a very positive way as a result of the successful efficiency activities. Cash flow remained strong despite increased investments in production capacity and working capital due to growth.

"The conversion of production to assembly in high cost countries continues, which means that further savings will be realized. This creates room for important investments in product development and market coverage going forward.

"The acquired growth amounted to a good 8% in the quarter, and it is with great pleasure that I welcome the strategic acquisitions of King in Korea and Paddock in the UK to the ASSA ABLOY Group. They complement our market position in Korea and the UK in an excellent way.

"During the quarter several large countries have initiated national budget savings programs which can have a dampening effect on the economic recovery. At the same time the world economy is improving and the organic growth for the full year is therefore expected to be slightly positive."

Finland, France and the Middle East showed especially strong growth while the weak trend in Eastern Europe continued.

AMERICAS

Sales for the quarter in Americas division totaled SEK 2,503 M (2,615), with organic growth of –4% (-17). The sales decline for the Door Group, Architectural Hardware and Residential was reduced during the quarter. However, the aftermarket-related business units such as High Security and Electromechanical showed good positive growth. Mexico and South America also grew strongly during the quarter.

ASIA PACIFIC

Sales for the quarter in Asia Pacific division totaled SEK 1,566 M (963), with organic growth of 18% (-9). All units in both Australia / New Zealand and Asia showed strong growth. The trend in Korea was especially good with strong growth in digital door locks for both local and export markets. Investments in increased production capacity in China continued during the quarter.

Operating cash flow before interest paid totaled SEK 57 M (221).

GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES

Sales for the quarter in Global Technologies division totaled SEK 1,240 M (1,235), with organic growth of 5% (-10). HID showed strong growth in response to a strongly growing market for access control. Identification technology also showed good growth. At Hospitality negative growth continued, but with strongly rising tender activity. The division's operating income amounted to SEK 208 M (194), giving an operating margin (EBIT) of 16.8% (15.7). Return on capital employed amounted to 14.5% (12.1). Operating cash flow before interest paid totaled SEK 204 M (234).

ENTRANCE SYSTEMS

Entrance Systems division reported sales of SEK 1,012 M (863) for the quarter, representing organic growth of –2% (-5). Continuing good sales on the service side compensated for much of the reduction in new-product sales. Ditec showed a weak trend resulting from the low market activity in southern Europe. Acquired growth amounted to 25% . Operating income totaled SEK 145 M (128), giving an operating margin of 14.3% (14.9). The dilution from the acquisition of Ditec amounted to 2.5 percentage points. Return on capital employed amounted to 13.6% (15.1). Operating cash flow before interest paid totaled SEK 106 M (149).

ACQUISITIONS

Five acquisitions were consolidated during the quarter, which means that a total of eight acquisitions were consolidated in the first half-year. The combined acquisition price for these acquisitions amounted to SEK 3,393 M, and preliminary acquisition analyses indicate that goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful life amount to SEK 2,582 M. The acquisition price is adjusted for acquired net debt and estimated earn-outs. Estimated earn-outs amount to SEK 2,183 M, of which SEK 2,028 M relates to the largest single acquisition of the first half-year, the Chinese company Pan Pan, and concerns the development of earnings over the next three years.

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

The EU's directive about higher energy efficiency in new and existing buildings has increased the need for innovative total solutions for doors and windows. The market for these types of product is expected to increase since the requirements become progressively stricter in future years.

ASSA ABLOY has successfully developed and launched a number of new products that make a tangible contribution to reducing air leakage and heat losses in various door and window solutions.

For example, the Group company effeff in Germany has produced an innovative solution for multi-point locks which means that the pressure of the door itself against the sealing strip in the frame is optimized at three points instead of one. This results in reduced heat losses and also improved sound insulation, while the advantages of convenient use and simple installation are retained.

PARENT COMPANY

'Other operating income' for the Parent company ASSA ABLOY AB totaled SEK 911 M (685) for the half-year. Income before tax amounted to SEK 1,188 M (1,228). Investments in tangible and intangible assets totaled SEK 1 M (1). Liquidity is good and the equity ratio was 50.4% (56.8).

During the second quarter of 2010 a repurchase of ASSA ABLOY shares took place. ASSA ABLOY AB acquired 300,000 Series B shares at a total purchase price of SEK 48 M. The purpose was to ensure the company's undertakings, including social security costs, in connection with the long term incentive program.

INCENTIVE PROGRAM

In accordance with the Board of Directors' proposal, the Annual General Meeting resolved to implement a Long-Term Incentive program for senior executives and other key personnel in the ASSA ABLOY Group. For further information about the incentive

REVIEW REPORT

We have reviewed this Report for the period 1 January to 30 June 2010 for ASSA ABLOY 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.

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 Standards on Auditing in Sweden, RS, 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.

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.

The Group has made a reclassification that affects direct distribution costs and depreciation on capitalized product development expenditure. The reason is to give a true and fair view of the allocation between direct and indirect costs as well as for product development expenses. In order to maintain comparability, the financial statements for 2008 and 2009 have been adjusted. The reclassification involves the transfer of direct distribution costs from Selling expenses and Administrative expenses, and where appropriate from Sales, to Cost of goods sold. In addition, depreciation on product development has been moved from Cost of goods sold to Selling expenses and Administrative expenses. Both these adjustments affect Gross income. Operating income is not affected.
