B&B TOOLS förser industrioch byggsektorn i norra Europa med industriför-B&B TOOLS provides the industrial and construction sectors in northern Europe with industrial consumables, industrial components and related services.
nödenheter och industrikomponenter samt därtill relaterade tjänster. Koncernen omsätter cirka The Group has annual revenue of approximately SEK 8.2 billion and approximately 2,900 employees.
The 2011/2012 financial year generated revenue of approximately MSEK 8,201 and an operating profit of MSEK 409 (including non-recurring items). This was achieved in a market characterised by concerns during the year and that was largely devoid of clear trends. The profit was achieved through a substantial number of fruitful efforts and I would like to mention the different parts of the Group and provide some additional comments concerning the past year.
A new organisation and new management structure were established in the Group in April 2011, and new managers were appointed for all Business Areas and for all three countries in TOOLS (Sweden, Norway and Finland). All appointments were made through internal recruitment. The new leadership, including the new management teams that were formed (as a result of the changes), has performed very well. The Group now has a management team that is stronger than ever. The cost adjustments from the changes were successively realised during the year.
The operations in Norway experienced a period of weak profitability prior to the beginning of the financial year. This trend was decisively turned around during the year. Contracts were signed with several significant customers and the Norwegian operations are a role-model in terms of harnessing the synergies between TOOLS and the Business Areas.
In Finland, forceful actions were taken with the aim of preparing for the implementation of the business infrastructure programme. The entire Finnish operation (with one intentional exception) now operates on a joint system platform. In Finland, fruitful efforts were also conducted to consolidate the product range during the year.
TOOLS Sweden conducted extensive business infrastructure initiatives during the year, which involved many employees making extraordinary efforts. During the fourth quarter, one Region became incorporated into the new business infrastructure and both systems and processes are functioning well. The overall time schedule is being adhered to, although the scope and complexity of the program entail a continuous re-evaluation of both plans and methods. The Swedish national accounts group exceeded its sales targets for the year. The major remaining challenge is to turn the profitability trend upward. This is the most crucial area of focus for the management team in Sweden.
During the year, TOOLS Momentum continued its consistent focus on satisfied customers with a focus on the customers' profitability in relation to the supply of Momentum's product range. The results of the efforts were impressive, with an increase in revenues of 8 percent and an operating margin of slightly more than 13 percent.
The Tools & Machinery Business Area experienced a positive trend during the year. In Norway, an intimate partnership with TOOLS generated positive results and in terms of the product range, Limit – the proprietary product brand in measuring tools – received a boost, and continued successes were reaped with the hand-tool brand TengTools.
The Personal Protective Equipment Business Area remains highly popular among customers. The year generated favourable organic growth of 8 percent and some of the proprietary product brands experienced a very strong trend. Toward the end of the year, a protective glove was launched (under the Guide product brand) featuring unique properties (for cutting and piercing protection), which is expected to experience a solid trend in a number of application areas.
The Fastening Elements Business Area experienced a mix of increased and decreased demand in various product range areas. Certain adaptations were made in terms of costs as a result of this. During the end of the financial year, the Business Area conducted a highly comprehensive launch of a new concept for the storage and handling of fastening products, ESSBOX, which has garnered widespread attention (also internationally) and is expected to generate favourable results ahead.
The Work Environment & Consumables Business Area was formed early in the financial year by the two previous product companies Grunda and Gigant. Work on creating one Business Area has been extensive and involved all employees in the Business Area. The results of the organisational effort were highly positive and were also implemented during a period of increased profitability.
The Business Areas' cooperation with external reseller operations in the construction sector generated a positive trend during the year.
The Group's 12 proprietary product brands currently account for approximately 45 percent of the Business Areas' combined revenue.
The Group's employees in the IT, logistics and MDM (Master Data Management) areas worked under enormous pressure during the year and did a fine job, thus creating the preconditions for the commercial units to operate and advance the operations.
An operating profit of more than MSEK 400 (MSEK 417, excluding non-recurring items) and a 12-percent return on equity are steps in the right direction. However, our sights are set on the continued development of the operations, whereby the implementation of new Group-wide solutions for business infrastructure will continue to be assigned high priority in the next two years.
Cash flow from operating activities in the 2011/2012 financial year of MSEK 114 was not satisfactory, particularly due to excessive build up of inventory. This is now an area in which each management function, for all units concerned, focus intently on improved ratios.
In 2011/2012, some of the Group's properties were sold. The property sales during the year contributed positive cash flow of about MSEK 56 and capital gains of about MSEK 30. During the fourth quarter of the year, TOOLS Sweden and the Tools & Machinery Business Area's earnings were positively impacted in the amount of MSEK 15 and MSEK 6, respectively, as an effect of the completed property sales. Property ownership is not strategic for the Group and during the coming year, additional properties will probably be sold.

An operating loss of MSEK –30 (–31) was reported for "Group-wide" during the financial year.
The Parent Company's revenue amounted to MSEK 61 (56) and profit after net financial items to MSEK 226 (238). These results include group contributions, intra-Group dividends and similar items totalling MSEK 234 (222). The Parent Company's pension costs and contingent liabilities for its subsidiaries' pension liabilities were impacted by PRI's changed life-expectancy assumptions. The Parent Company's profit before net
financial items was affected in an amount of MSEK –4 during the year and contingent liabilities increased by MSEK 20. The changes to PRI's life-expectancy assumptions did not impact the Group's recognised pension costs, which were recognised in accordance with IFRS as before.
Eliminations for intra-Group inventory gains had an impact of MSEK –8 (–6) during the year.
In January 2012, TOOLS Momentum acquired all shares in Sjuntorp Industrisupport AB and its subsidiary Jodu Lindareverkstad AB ("Sjuntorp"). Sjuntorp is a comprehensive service company specialising in electromechanical services and sales for the industrial sector and public administration in Trollhättan, Uddevalla, Örebro and Malmö and the surrounding areas. Sjuntorp generates annual revenue of approximately MSEK 25 and has 16 employees. The acquisition is expected to have a marginally positive effect on B&B TOOLS' earnings per share.
The return on consolidated capital employed for the financial year was 11 percent and the return on equity was 12 percent. In the preceding year, the return on consolidated capital employed was 9 percent and the return on equity was 11 percent.
Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital for the financial year amounted to MSEK 278. Funds tied up in working capital increased by MSEK 164. During the year, the Group's inventories and operating receivables rose by MSEK 163 and MSEK 57, respectively. Operating liabilities increased by MSEK 56. Accordingly, cash flow from operating activities for the year thus amounted to MSEK 114. Six properties were disposed of during the year, of which five in the form of sales of shares in subsidiaries, which in turn owned the properties. Cash flow was impacted positively in an amount of MSEK 56 as a result of these completed disposals.
The Group's financial net loan liability at the end of the year totalled MSEK 1,787 (1,785). Interest-bearing liabilities amounted to MSEK 1,882 (1,890), including expensed pension commitments totalling MSEK 377 (384). Liabilities to credit institutions amounted to MSEK 1,420 (1,414), net. Combined cash and cash equivalents, including unutilised granted credit facilities, totalled MSEK 385.

Of the shares held in treasury, 90,000 shares are reserved to secure the Company's obligations under the call options programme issued to senior executives in the Group in September 2007.

The Financial Report for the Group was prepared in accordance with IFRS and by applying IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Securities Market Act. The Financial Report for the Parent Company was prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Securities Market Act, which conforms to the provisions detailed in RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities. As of the 2011/2012 financial year, Group contributions received are recognised as a dividend and Group contributions paid as a financial expense in the Parent Company's income statement. Comparative figures for 2010/2011 were changed in accordance with the new policies. Previously, Group contributions were recognised in accordance with UFR 2 Group contributions and shareholders' contributions. In all other aspects, the same accounting policies and bases of judgement as in the Annual Report for 2010/2011 have been applied.
During the financial year, no significant changes occurred with respect to risks and uncertainties, for either the Group or the Parent Company. For information about the Group's risks and uncertainties, refer to pages 49-50 of B&B TOOLS' Annual Report for 2010/2011.
The Board of B&B TOOLS AB proposes a dividend of SEK 3.00 (3.00) per share. Taking into account the repurchased Class B shares held in treasury, the proposed dividend corresponds to a total of approximately MSEK 84 (84).
No significant events occurred in the Group after the end of the financial year.

This document is in all respects a translation of the Swedish original Financial Report. In the event of any differences between this translation and the Swedish original, the latter shall prevail.
We have conducted a review of the Financial Report for B&B TOOLS AB (publ) at 31 March 2012 and of the twelve-month period ending on that date. The Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer are responsible for preparation and presentation of this Financial Report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this Financial Report based on our review.
We have conducted our review in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements (SÖG) 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily to 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 International Standards on Auditing and other generally accepted auditing practices in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain a level of assurance that would make us aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Therefore, the conclusion expressed based on a review does not provide the same level of assurance as a conclusion expressed based on an audit.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying Financial Report, in all material respects, is not prepared in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act, and for the Parent Company, in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.
