Financial Statement, Beijer Electronics AB
Comments from Acting CEO Anna Belfrage
"Overall, Beijer Electronics made more positive progress in the fourth quarter. Order intake and sales increased by some 10%, adjusted for the divested Vehicle division in the US. Adjusted for non-recurring costs, operating profit also increased somewhat in the quarter. As previously reported, profit was charged with restructuring expenses. Additionally, profit was charged with non-recurring costs totaling 7 MSEK, for a terminated customer project, and a fire at a supplier.
The IDC business area continued to perform very convincingly, increasing order intake and sales by about 20%, and increasing profit by over 30%. So overall, 2014 was a record year for IDC in terms of sales and profits. Sales were nearly half a billion Swedish kronor, and operating profit was nearly 60 MSEK. A robust order book and positive underlying growth indicates continued positive progress in 2015.
The major strategic initiativewithin IDC, which was decided on last fall, commenced in the fourth quarter, with several new hirings. This initiative involves total investments of 188 MSEK in product development and markets over a three-year period, of which 175 MSEK in Westermo. The aim is for IDC to achieve sales approaching 800 MSEK and an operating margin of over 14% by 2017. Growing this business so quickly is a challenge, especially in terms of staff hiring. The major investments are 'up-front,' and are also expected to have some impact on IDC's profitability in 2015.
To help manage this major initiative, and support Westermo's management, Beijer Electronics has decided to appoint an executive board for Westermo. This includes Bo Elisson and Ulrika Hagdahl, who are also members of the Group Board, the President of Westermo and CEO of Beijer Electronics. After a difficult year, the IAS business area was able to report some positive signals in the fourth quarter. Order intake and sales increased in this period, adjusted for the divested Vehicle division. Progress in countries including the US, China and Turkey wereespecially positive, with all these markets achieving solid double-digit growth. Apart from the Nordics, Europe progressed positively. Asia—excluding China—and the Nordics saw another year of declining volumes, but this is consistent with expectations. Thelower profit is a disappointment, but is due to the aforementioned non-recurring costs. Adjusted for these items, profit increased somewhat.
As a whole, IAS has not achieved expected sales volumes in recent years, which has resulted in the gradual erosion of profitability. To restore profitability over a three-year period, we announced a program of measures for IAS in October. The program includes cost-cutting measures, and in theinitial phase, isexpected to improveIAS' profit by 25 MSEK in 2015. Implementation of this program commenced in the quarter, and has gone to plan. In 2015, the IDC business area will focus on delivering in accordance with its approved investment

plan, while the IAS business area will prioritize measures to improve profitability. Overall, we think the group will be able to increase sales and improve operating profit in the full year 2015, even if the first half-year is subject to low profitability in IDC, and structural costs within IAS."

Prospects for 2015
In the full year 2014, Beijer Electronics was able to increase sales and improve operating profit before and after adjustment for various non-recurring items. For 2015, Beijer Electronics judges that IDC will be able to maintain continued high growth, while it expects IAS to increase sales somewhat. The group is commencing its major initiative in IDC, which will affect profit in 2015. Meanwhile, it anticipates the restructuring program in IAS having its expected effect. Overall, Beijer Electronics expects to increase operating profit in the full year 2015.
Significant Events
In October, Beijer Electronics announced a program of measures in the IAS business area. Business area sales have not progressed asexpected in recent years, which has had a negative impact on profitability. To restore profitability over a threeyear period, IAS initiated a program to cut costs. In an initial phase, IAS' profit isexpected to increase by 25 MSEK in 2015. Primarily, expenses for this restructuring will be charged to fourth-quarter profit, although also to the first half-year 2015.
In September, Beijer Electronics announced a major strategic initiative in the IDC business area. The measures encompass some 188 MSEK over three-year period, of which 175 MSEK in Westermo, focusing on increased product development and strengthening the marketing organization. The initiative is largely internally funded. The aim is to increase growth further from the current 450 MSEK or so in annual sales to closer to 800 MSEK, and to achieve an operating margin of over 14% in 2017.
IDC's total addressable market amounts to almost SEK 10 billion with expected annual growth in excess of 10%.Companies like Hirschmann and RuggedCom are the main competitors. Westermo has had major successes with its robust industrial data communication solutions. The announced measures will broadenWestermo's product portfolio in MissionCritical Edge Networks and Westermo IPTrain.Total headcount isexpected to increase by 50, of which 20 in product development and the remainder in marketing.
On September 15, Beijer Electronics announced that CEO and President Fredrik Jönsson was resigning and leaving the company. Beijer Electronics' CFO Anna Belfrage was appointed Acting CEO and President on the same day.
In June 2014, Beijer Electronics sold the USVehicle division of the IAS business area to Israeli company Micronet. This sale was a component of the strategy of focusing on Beijer Electronics' core businesses—Industrial operator panels and industrial data communication.
This transaction produced a capital gain of 32.9 MSEK before tax. Management judges that the sold operation will reduce the group's annualized sales by some 70 MSEK going forward. It judges the effect on future operating profit as marginal.
The transaction did not imply any major changes to the group's or the IAS business area's fixed assets. This capital gain is included in other operating revenue in the Consolidated Income Statement.
At year-end 2013, Beijer Electronics implemented a new global organization, which altered its reporting from three business areas to two—Industrial Automation Solutions (IAS) and Industrial Data Communication (IDC). TheIAS business area was formed from the Automation and HMI Products business areas. These changes are a consequence of Beijer Electronics re-purchasing 15% of Automation from Mitsubishi Electric in 2013. Automation also launched an extended Beijer Electronics-branded product range, for global sale. Numbers from the previous year have been restated to comply with the new reporting.
