The trend of stabilising order intake continued during the fourth quarter. Even though order intake was 7% lower than in the same quarter of 2008, we saw a clear improvement over the preceding quarters, which indicates an improved market situation. During the fourth quarter, net sales and order intake were at roughly the same level.
Despite fierce competition in the market, the gross margin was higher during the fourth quarter compared with the preceding quarter as well as the same quarter in 2008. The stability of the Group's gross margin over the years, including 2009, points to the strength of the product offering and adeptness of our companies.
Distinct and clear personal responsibility among the management teams of the Indutrade companies is a key factor behind our performance in 2009. Our decentralised business model enables the companies to uphold their margins and quickly adapt their operations to changes in demand.
The EBITA margin for the fourth quarter was 9.3%. The lower margin compared with the third quarter follows the normal seasonal pattern. The EBITA margin for the full year was 9.5%. Although 2009 was characterised by a deep recession in most of our markets, once again we exceeded our target of achieving an EBITA margin of at least 8% over a business cycle.
As a result of Indutrade's favourable profit growth, combined with an increased share of manufacturing companies, the Board has decided to raise the target EBITA margin to a minimum of 10% (8) over a business cycle.
During the fourth quarter we carried out our first acquisition in Asia – Key Valves Technology in South Korea. The company is an excellent complement to our Dutch subsidiary HP Valves, since it broadens the product offering to international customers in power generation.
We have continued to acquire companies into the start of 2010. Thus far we have acquired three companies with combined annual sales of SEK 190 million. One of the acquired companies is in Poland, AxMediTec Sp. z.o.o., entailing that the Group now has companies in 17 countries.
As a result of the generally more stable market situation, acquisition opportunities have increased, and we believe that we have good opportunities to carry out additional acquisitions in the coming months.

Net Sales Net Sales moving 12 months
Order intake amounted to SEK 6,000 million (6,911) for the year, a decrease of 13%. For comparable units, order intake fell 20%, while acquired growth was 3%. Currency movements had a favourable effect on order intake, by 4%.
Order intake during the fourth quarter was SEK 1,491 million (1,605), a decrease of 7%. For comparable units, order intake fell 9%. Acquired growth was 1%, while currency movements had a favourable effect on order intake, by 1%.
The lower order intake during the year was a result of the weak economy. The Engineering & Equipment business area, which has its main market in Finland, was affected the most as a result of weak performance for the Finnish export industry. The Industrial Components business area also experienced weak order intake related to the auto industry and other manufacturing industries.
The decrease in order intake during the fourth quarter was lower than the decrease in the preceding quarters.
Net sales fell 7% during the year, to SEK 6,271 million (6,778). For comparable units, net sales fell 15%, while acquired growth was 3%. Currency movements had a favourable effect on net sales, by 5%.
Net sales during the fourth quarter fell 17% to SEK 1,525 million (1,829). For comparable units, net sales fell 18%, while currency movements had a favourable effect on net sales for the quarter, by 1%. Acquired growth was less than 1%.
Flow Technology was the business area that fared best during the year, followed by Special Products. This is mainly because these business areas have a relatively high share of net sales in the energy and water/heating, ventilation and plumbing customer segments. Engineering & Equipment and Industrial Components both reported a more than 20% drop in net sales as a result of substantially lower demand.
The gross margin for the full year was 32.9%, a decrease of 0.4 percentage points compared with the same period in 2008. The gross margin for the fourth quarter was 33.7%, an increase of 0.7 percentage points. The change in the gross margin is mainly attributable to a shift in net sales towards products with higher margins.
Operating profit before amortisation of intangible assets (EBITA) was SEK 594 million (820) for the year, a decrease of 28%. The operating margin before amortisation of intangible assets (the EBITA margin) narrowed to 9.5% (12.1%). During the year, the EBITA margin was hurt by lower sales and a relative higher level of overheads. Measures were taken during the year in the companies in the Group that have been affected by the drop in demand, with the goal of reducing overheads on a full-year basis by SEK 200 million and the number of employees by 250. During the fourth quarter, the cost savings excluding currency effects amounted to approximately SEK 53 million. Compared with year-end 2008, the number of employees decreased by approximately 270.
Net financial items amounted to SEK -64 million (-68). Tax on profit for the year was SEK -121 million (-182). Profit after tax decreased by 33% to SEK 341 million (510). Earnings per share were SEK 8.53 (12.75).
Operating profit before amortisation of intangible assets (EBITA) amounted to SEK 142 million (193) for the fourth quarter, a decrease of 26%. The operating margin before amortisation of intangible assets (the EBITA margin) was 9.3% (10.6%).
Net financial items for the fourth quarter, which in the preceding year were charged with financing costs for a large acquisition, decreased in 2009 to SEK -12 million (-22). The tax charge for the quarter was SEK -26 million (-36). Profit after tax decreased by 28% to SEK 86 million (119). Earnings per share for the fourth quarter were SEK 2.15 (2.98).
The return on operating capital for the last 12 months was 22.2% (36.7%) and was affected by the lower level of earnings and by the fact that acquisitions were made primarily of manufacturing companies with a high average level of tied-up capital.
Engineering & Equipment offers customised niche products, design solutions, aftermarket service and special processing. The main product areas are hydraulics and pneumatics, industrial equipment, flow products, transmissions and measuring instruments.

| Net sales | 1,569 | 1,900 |
| EBITA | 83 | 189 |
| EBITA-margin, % | 5.3% | 9.9% |
Net sales fell 17% for the year, to SEK 1,569 million (1,900). For comparable units, net sales fell 25%, while currency movements had a favourable effect on net sales, by 8%. Demand in Finland, which is the business area's largest market, was affected by weak performance for the Finnish export industry in 2009.
The decline in net sales affected EBITA, which totalled SEK 83 million (189) for the year, corresponding to an EBITA margin of 5.3% (9.9%). In the companies that have been hurt by the drop in demand, projects have been carried out to reduce overheads, which gradually generated effects during the year.
EBITA was charged with SEK 10 million in costs for adapting to lower business volume.
Flow Technology offers 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 | 1,689 | 1,712 |
| EBITA | 186 | 185 |
| EBITA-margin, % | 11.0% | 10.8% |
Net sales were stable during the year and amounted to SEK 1,689 million (1,712). For comparable units, net sales fell 3%, while currency movements had a favourable effect on net sales, by 2%.
EBITA for the year was SEK 186 million (185), and the EBITA margin was 11.0% (10.8%), owing to a higher share of net sales of products with higher margins.
The engineering company Rossing & Jansson AB was 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 | 1,163 | 1,401 |
| EBITA | 72 | 150 |
| EBITA-margin, % | 6.2% | 10.7% |
Net sales for the year fell 17% to SEK 1,163 million (1,401). For comparable units, net sales fell 22%, while acquired growth was 3%. Currency movements had a favourable effect, of 2%.
EBITA for the year was SEK 72 million (150), corresponding to an EBITA margin of 6.2% (10.7%). Performance of the business area was affected by weak demand for products related primarily to the automotive industry. Completed cost-cutting programmes did not fully compensate for the earnings decline caused by lower net sales. Cost-cutting programmes have been carried out in the companies that have been hurt by the drop in demand. In connection with this, EBITA was charged with SEK 8 million in one-time costs.
During the year, Dominator Pump AB was acquired as well as two businesses – in automation products and optics products.
Special Products offers specially manufactured niche products, design solutions, aftermarket service and assembly, and special processing. The main product areas are valves, electrical components, glass, technical ceramics, measuring technology, special plastics, filters and process technology, industrial springs, piston rings and hydraulic couplings.

| Net sales | 1,877 | 1,812 |
| EBITA | 288 | 337 |
| EBITA-margin, % | 15.3% | 18.6% |
Net sales for the year rose 4% to SEK 1,877 million (1,812). For comparable units, net sales fell 11%, while acquired growth was 7%. Currency movements had a favourable effect on net sales, by 8%.
EBITA was SEK 288 million (337), and the EBITA margin was 15.3% (18.6%). The EBITA margin, which reached a high point for the year during the fourth quarter, was affected during the full year by a shift toward products with lower margins. Lower demand mainly affected the Swedish companies, where actions were taken to adapt overheads to the anticipated volume of product deliveries.
During the year, the companies Key Valves Technologies Ltd and Flintec Brasil Ltda were acquired.
Shareholders' equity amounted to SEK 1,644 million (1,597), and the equity ratio was 41% (36%).
Cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 229 million (223). In addition, the company has SEK 497
million (767) in unutilised credit facilities. Interest-bearing net debt amounted to SEK 940 million (972).
The net debt/equity ratio was 57% (61%) at the year-end.
Cash flow from operating activities was SEK 558 million (490). Cash flow after net capital expenditures in property, plant and equipment (excluding company acquisitions) was SEK 468 million (360). Despite lower earnings, cash flow improved compared with the same period a year ago due to a reduction in working capital.
The Group's net capital expenditures (excluding company acquisitions) amounted to SEK 90 million (130). Depreciation of property, plant and equipment totalled SEK 89 million (78). Disbursements for company acquisitions amounted to SEK 188 million (276) of which SEK 56 million (266) were acquisitions made during the year and SEK 132 million (10) were earn-out payments pertaining to previous year's acquisitions.
The number of employees was 3,040 (3,269) at the year-end. Approximately 270 persons left the Group as a result of the economic downturn.
The Group acquired the following companies, which are consolidated for the first time in 2009.

The Indutrade Group conducts business in 17 countries on four continents, through some 120 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 2008 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 subject to financing risk.
The Parent Company's other activities are not subject to risks other than indirectly via subsidiaries. For a more detailed report on risks that affect the Group and Parent Company, please see the 2008 Annual Report.
No transactions took place during the year between Indutrade and related parties, which 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 1.1. The Parent Company applies RFR 2.1. The same accounting policies and calculation methods are used in this report as those used in Indutrade's 2008 Annual Report and described under the section "Accounting principles and notes".
Effective 1 January 2009 the Indutrade Group applies IFRS 8 Operating Segments, the amendment to IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation, and IAS 1 R Presentation of Financial Statements. None of these standards has any impact on Indutrade's result of operations or financial position. In addition to these, the Group has begun application of the amendment to IFRS 2 Share-based Payment and the amendment to IAS 23 Borrowing Costs. IFRS 2 has had no effect on the Group, and IAS 23 does not affect the Group at all, since there are currently no assets for which borrowing costs can be capitalised.
The IFRIC 13 and IFRIC 14 interpretations were approved in 2008 and have been applied from 1 July 2009. IFRIC 13 is not relevant for Indutrade, and IFRIC 14, which provides guidance for IAS 19, has not had any effect on the Group's result of operations or financial position.
In 2010 the EU is expected to endorse several interpretations and amendments to existing standards. None of these changes are expected to have a material impact on Indutrade when the Group begins applying these following EU endorsement.
The Board of Directors proposes a dividend of SEK 4.30 per share (6.40), for a total dividend payout of SEK 172 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 2009 Annual Report will be published in early April 2010. 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 29 April 2010.
