Net sales increased by SEK 142 million, due to increased raw material prices, partly offset by a negative currency translation impact of SEK 149 million.
The fourth quarter showed volume growth for the two main business areas Food Ingredients and Chocolate & Confectionery Fats.
The general market conditions, which were commented upon during the first nine months of 2010 have continued during the fourth quarter.
Excluding translation effects, gross contribution improved by SEK 2 million. Gross contribution per kilo, excluding translation effects was unchanged at SEK 2.81 (2.82). Food Ingredients and Technical Products & Feed continued to report improvements in all spheres while Chocolate & Confectionery Fats suffered from margin pressure.
During the fourth quarter of 2010, AAK recognised negative translation effects of SEK 51 million. After including translation effects, gross contribution decreased by SEK 49 million.
Operating profit for the fourth quarter 2010 was below the fourth quarter 2009, which had turned out exceptionally well due to a number of positive outcomes in that quarter.
Operating profit reached SEK 251 million (289). Adjusted for divestments and fixed exchange rates, operating profit amounted to SEK 258 million (287).
The company has recorded additional insurance compensation of SEK 19 million, which is not included in the operating profit of SEK 251 million. This insurance compensation relates to business interruption in both 2008 and 2009.
The Group's investments in fixed assets totalled SEK 91 million (113), mainly comprising regular maintenance investments.
Positive cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital reached SEK 289 million (298). After changes in working capital, cash flow was SEK 531 million (750).
The majority of the strong cash flow in 2009 was attributable to a significant decline in raw material prices which led to reduced working capital.
The ongoing internal working capital improvement project continued to impact positively.
Cash flow, after net investments of SEK 87 million (110), was SEK 445 million (640).
The equity/assets ratio amounted to 34 percent (35 percent as at 31 December 2009).
Group borrowings as at 31 December 2010 amounted to 2,634 million (SEK 3,186 million on 31 December 2009). As at 31 December, the Group has total credit facilities of SEK 6,711 million.
Long term refinancing of SEK 4,200 million was finalized January 2011 and comprising part of the total committed facilities of SEK 6,000 million for five years or more.
The average number of employees in the Group as at 31 December 2010 was 2,101 (2,137 on 31 December 2009).
Since year-end 2009 the average number of employees in Scandinavia has decreased by 63 persons as a consequence of the ongoing rationalisation programme.
The Parent Company is a holding company for the AAK Group. Its functions are primarily concerned with joint Group activities related to development and administration.
"Operating profit for 2010 was in line with our expectations. We now have a very strong foundation for our mid- and long-term, the "AAK Acceleration programme". Focus areas are Growth, Efficiency and People. The prioritized growth areas are: Bakery & Bakery Service, Dairy Fat Industries, Chocolate & Confectionery Fats, Infant Nutrition (Baby Food), Food Service, Fast-growing economies (e.g. China and Brazil) and Merger & Acquisitions.
For 2011 we have a cash flow challenge because of significant raw material price increases that occurred in 2010 but with a time lag affecting 2011. I am pleased that we have been able to finalize the refinancing, with improved financial flexibility and we have now total committed facilities of SEK 6,000 million for five years or more"," says CEO Arne Frank in a comment to the Q4 report.
Net sales for the business area increased by SEK 143 million, due to increased raw material prices, partly offset by negative currency translation impact of SEK 98 million.
As a consequence of the policy of back-toback hedging of raw materials there is a time lag between movement in the spot price and the financial impact. The Group policy is to secure the margin in sales contracts by hedging the corresponding raw material purchases and stocks. Equally, currency exposure is hedged.
Volume increased by 1 percent relative to 2009.
Gross contribution increased to 554 SEK million (536) including negative translation effects of SEK 24 million. Gross contribution per kilo increased by 2 percent from SEK 2.43 to SEK 2.49 as a result of a favourable product mix in the quarter.
Gross contribution, excluding translation effects, improved by SEK 42 million, or 8 percent. Excluding translation effects, gross contribution per kilo increased by 7 percent, from SEK 2.43 to SEK 2.60.
Margins continued to improve as a result of the specialisation strategy with focus on a higher proportion of high-value products. All speciality product areas, such as Infant Nutrition (Baby Food), Bakery & Bakery Service and Food Service, continued to develop well.
Operating profit amounted to SEK 137 million (143), a decrease of 4 percent. The result includes negative translation effects of SEK 6 million. At fixed exchange rates, operating profit was in line with last year.
During the fourth quarter of 2010 the Food Ingredients business area also continued to benefit from the ongoing rationalisation programme. Cost savings have, however, been matched by increased investments in organic growth outside Scandinavia.
The "AAK Acceleration" programme covers significant growth opportunities in our speciality products such as Infant Nutrition (Baby Food), Bakery and Bakery Services, Dairy Industry and Food Service.

Net sales for the business area improved by SEK 25 million or 2 percent on account of volume growth and raw material price increases (mainly palm oil) partly offset by negative translation effects of SEK 50 million.
Cocoa Butter Equivalent (CBE) volumes in the fourth quarter of 2010 were higher than both the third quarter of 2010 and fourth quarter of 2009 with positive volume growth in most regions.
Excluding translation effects gross contribution decreased by SEK 30 million whilst gross contribution per kilo declined by 8 percent from SEK 5.50 to SEK 5.05.
During the fourth quarter the business area recognised negative translation effects of SEK 27 million. After including these effects, gross contribution decreased by SEK 57 million.
The average margin in the fourth quarter 2010 was lower than in the third quarter, due to different product mix but with the same underlying price level that prevailed in the earlier quarters of 2010.
The operating result of SEK 106 million (147) was lower than in the fourth quarter of 2009. Compared to last year, volume increased by 1 percent but this did not compensate for lower margins.
The general market conditions, which were commented upon during the first nine months of 2010, have continued during the fourth quarter.
The cocoa butter price has decreased from a relatively high level to a level comparable to that prevailing during the latter part of 2007.

Net sales for the business area improved by SEK 60 million, or 18 percent mainly on account of increased raw material prices. Volumes were stable compared to last year.
Gross contribution increased in the fourth quarter 2010 by SEK 7 million, to SEK 80 million, or 10 percent, compared to the corresponding quarter in 2009. Gross contribution per kilo increased by 11 percent, from SEK 0.97 to SEK 1.08.
The higher gross contribution per kilo was mainly caused by a different product mix compared to the corresponding quarter in 2009.
Operating profit was equal to last year SEK 31 million (31).
Technical products, particularly environmental friendly bio lubricants, continued to enjoy signs of market recovery.

Net sales were SEK 14,808 million (15,884). The decrease in sales was net of a negative translation impact of SEK 600 million and reflected the deferred effect of lower raw material prices. Volumes increased by 1 percent.
Excluding translation effects, gross contribution improved by SEK 49 million and gross contribution per kilo increased by 1 percent, from SEK 2.61 to SEK 2.63.
Food Ingredients and Technical Products & Feed continued to report improvements in all areas while Chocolate & Confectionery Fats suffered from margin pressure.
Operating profit for the full year reached SEK 824 million (827) but, adjusted for divestments and at fixed exchanges rates, operating profit was at SEK 855 million (810).
The result includes negative translation effects of SEK 31 million.
The company has recorded additional insurance compensation of SEK 19 million, which is not included in the operating profit of SEK 824 million. This insurance compensation relates to business interruption in both 2008 and 2009.
Food Ingredients and Technical Products & Feed improved operating results compared to the full year of 2009.
The Group's net investments in fixed assets totalled SEK 335 million (316) and mainly comprised routine maintenance investments.
Cash flow from operating activities but before investments amounted to SEK 757 million (2,265).
The bulk of the strong cash flow in 2009 was due to a significant decline in raw material prices which led to a reduction in working capital. The company also received insurance compensation of SEK 70 million during 2009.
The ongoing internal working capital improvement project continued to impact positively on working capital turnover.
Cash flow, after net investments of SEK 331 million (313) was SEK 426 million (1,952).
These pages, 9-20, contain legal financial information including non-recurring items and IAS 39.
The operating result, including non-recurring items and IAS 39 effects, amounted to SEK 410 million (381). The result includes the effect of IAS 39, which exerted a positive impact of SEK 140 million (92), see hedge accounting paragraph below.
The company also recorded additional insurance compensation of SEK 19 million. This relates to business interruption in both 2008 and 2009.
AAK has effectively October 1 2010 fully adopted hedge accounting based on fair value hedging. The IAS 39 effect in the fourth quarter 2010 of SEK 140 million reflects earlier recognised "IAS 39 effect" net losses which now have been reversed into the income statement.
The new accounting method will not require any changes in the current business model. Further there will be no impact on the underlying profitability or risk level in the group.
Commencing the first quarter 2011 there will be no IAS 39 effect.
The Group result, after financial items, amounted to SEK 396 million (366). Net financial items totalled negative SEK 14 million (negative 15).
The operating result, including non-recurring items and IAS 39 effects, amounted to SEK 882 million (1,475). The result includes the net IAS 39 effect of SEK 39 million (578) due the use of hedge accounting during the fourth quarter 2010.
The company also recorded additional insurance compensation of SEK 19 million. This relates to business interruption in both 2008 and 2009.
The Group result, after financial items, amounted to SEK 828 million (1,298). Net financial items totalled negative SEK 54 million (negative 176). This significant improvement was due to lower interest rates and substantially lower borrowings.
Reported tax cost corresponds to an average tax rate of 24 percent (35). The underlying average tax rate for the Group is approximately 27 percent (29). The favourable tax cost in 2010 was due to tax credits received in certain countries, related to investments.
The equity/assets ratio reduced to 34 percent at 31 December 2010 (35 percent at 31 December 2009), due to the payment of the dividend.
The Group's equity as at 31 December 2010 totalled 3,188 million (SEK 2,949 million at 31 December 2009), and the balance sheet total was SEK 9,252 million (8,513 at 31 December 2009).
Long term refinancing of SEK 4,200 million was finalized in January 2011 comprising part of the total committed facilities of SEK 6,000 million for five years or more.
No significant changes have taken place in relations or transactions with related parties since the annual report for 2009.
On 4 December 2007, an explosive fire occurred at AAK's factory in Aarhus, Denmark.
The incident occurred in the part of the factory where vegetable oils are produced for use as components in speciality fats for chocolate and confectionery products, mainly CBE. All affected plants were up and running by the fourth quarter 2008.
During 2008 and 2009 AAK received insurance payments for business interruption in the sum of approximately SEK 421 million.
The company has recorded additional insurance compensation of SEK 19 million, during 2010. AAK has in total received SEK 440 million.
A final settlement with the insurance companies has not yet been concluded. Any predictions of the final outcome is subject to uncertainty.
All business operations involve risk – a controlled approach to risk taking is a prerequisite in maintaining good profitability. Risk may be dependent upon events in the outside world and may affect a specific sector, market or country, and the risk may also be purely company-specific.
At AAK, effective risk management is a continuing process carried out within the framework of operational management and forms a natural part of the day-to-day monitoring of operations.
The AAK Group is exposed to the fierce competition that characterises the industry, as well as fluctuations in raw material prices affecting working capital.
The operations of the AAK Group involve exposure to significant financial risks, particularly currency risks and raw material price risks.
The raw materials used in the operation are agricultural products, and availability may therefore vary due to climatic and other external factors.

The information is that which AarhusKarlshamn AB (publ) is obliged to publish under the provisions of the Stock Exchange and Clearing Operations Act and/or the Trading in Financial Instruments Act. The information was released to the media for publication on 18 February, 2011 at 8.20 a.m. CET.
We have reviewed this report for the period 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2010 for AarhusKarlshamn 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.
