"FinnvedenBulten's sales turnover fell during Q3 by 7.8% (down 2.5% when adjusted for currency effects) in a weakened automotive market. The Bulten division's sales excluding currency effects is unchanged and the division has had continued success with the FSP concept and has further strengthened its position. Indications during Q2 of lower deliveries became more concrete in Q3 and further cutbacks have been announced by customers towards the end of the year. The lower sales that lead to under-utilisation at several factories during the quarter, added to an unfavourable product mix, resulted in a significantly negative effect on earnings. The Group's joint currency effects also had a negative impact.
The Group has a continued good financial position which enables the focus to be maintained on long-term strategic initiatives. Within the divisions, Bulten and Finnveden Metal Structures, several measures have been initiated within both divisions to boost productivity and further reduce costs. The restructuring of the foundry business in the Finnveden Metal Structures division is under way and will provide an improved cost structure and enable continued growth. Measures are also being implemented across the Group as a whole to adapt the business to the current market situation."
Johan Westman, President and CEO
Group summary
Market for FinnvedenBulten
Of the Group's total net sales, around 80% is attributable to vehicle producers (OEMs) and around 20% to their sub-suppliers and to other sectors. Deliveries for light vehicles (cars and light commercial vehicles) currently account for 76% of FinnvedenBulten's income while heavy commercial vehicles account for 24%.
FinnvedenBulten has noted an increased uncertainty regarding customers' market outlook due to the unstable macroeconomic situation, mainly in Europe. In relation to the plans that existed at the end of the previous quarter, several vehicle producers have continued to adjust their delivery plans downwards and there are signs of a reluctance to launch new products. It is no longer as clear that FinnvedenBulten's customer structure is developing more strongly than the market in general.
For 2012 as a whole, the production of light vehicles in Western Europe is expected to decline by 8.5% and production of heavy vehicles is expected to decline by 9.7% compared with 2011, according to the October forecast from IHS Global Insights (IHS). Weighted for FinnvedenBulten's exposure this means a contraction of around 8.8% in 2012 – a downward revision of 1.1% compared with the IHS forecast in Q2.
Order bookings and net sales
Third quarter
Order bookings for the period were SEK 609.7 million (736.0), a decrease of 17.2% compared with the corresponding period in the previous year. Order bookings for the quarter were affected by several customers revising their production plans downwards.
Net sales for the Group totalled SEK 649.3 million (703.9), a decrease of 7.8% compared with the corresponding period in the previous year, adjusted for currency effects, the decrease was 2.5%.
January-September

Earnings before depreciation (EBITDA) were SEK 30.6 million (60.6), corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 4.7% (8.6).
Earnings (EBIT) were SEK 11.4 million (43.1), corresponding to an operating margin of 1.8% (6.1). Compared with 2011, operating result and margin in Q3 were affected by lower sales and a negative change in the product mix, linked with under-utilisation at several factories which had a negative effect on earnings. The Group's operating currency exposure also had a significant negative effect both on sales and earnings compared with the previous year. The quarter also includes higher costs associated with growth initiatives in China and Russia. To some extent, new business in the Bulten division compensated for the weak market.
Net financial items in the Group were SEK –5.7 million (–12.2). Most of this was financial costs paid to external creditors amounting to SEK –4.0 million (–3.4) and currency differences of SEK –1.9 million (–8.7).

Non-recurring items of SEK 18.1 million in 2011 related to costs for the listing process on the NASDAQ OMX and the completed rationalisation programme. The first three quarters of 2012 were affected, among other things, by costs for the start-up of new customer projects, imbalance and disruption in production. Furthermore, earnings were affected by lower sales, under-utilisation at several factories and a negative change in the product mix which had a negative effect on earnings. Earnings were also affected by higher costs for growth initiatives including establishment in growth markets and new recruitment. The Group's operating currency exposure also had a significant negative effect both on sales and earnings compared with the previous year.

Bulten develops and manufactures fasteners for the global automotive industry, and a large part of the product range includes innovative and technically advanced products. Bulten is one of few fastener producers in Europe that can take complete responsibility along the entire value chain for fasteners, from product development to final delivery onto the customer's production line.
Torx screws are designed to function better than traditional screws in automated tightening. One of the advantages of the system is that greater torque can be delivered while there is less wear than with a hex socket.
Division BULTEN
- • Net sales in Q3 decreased by SEK 26 million, down 6.4% on the same period last year.
- • Operating earnings in Q3 were SEK 12 million (22).
The Bulten division continued to gain market share during the third quarter. Earnings were negatively affected by both currency effects and a weaker market for automotive producers in Europe. The uneven demand situation during the summer months resulted in a corresponding uneven production of fasteners. Savings and efficiency measures to reduce costs and to adapt the business to the existing market outlook have been initiated.
The business continued to focus on new and existing FSP (Full Service Provider) contracts, in line with the division's strategy. The ramp-up of deliveries to a significant engine platform is continuing. The launch phase of the engine platform has not yet achieved expected volumes, but good volume development is expected in coming years with a wide international launch.
Sales in the third quarter included a lower proportion of own production compared with previous periods in relation to trading of fasteners. Trading is a natural and logical part of the division's FSP offer and means
that the added-value part of the business will decrease compared with revenue from in-house production.
The good reputation of the Bulten division and its delivery reliability combined with FinnvedenBulten's strong financial position open up new business opportunities on a weaker automotive market.
Establishment plans in Russia continues and have been intensified during the third quarter.
Third quarter
Order bookings amounted to SEK 386.7 million (415.8), down 7.0% compared with the same period last year.
Net sales reached SEK 385.9 million (412.3), down 6.4% compared with the same period last year but up 0.3% when adjusted for currency effects.
Earnings before depreciation (EBITDA) reached SEK 22.5 million (30.9), corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 5.8% (7.5).
Operating earnings (EBIT) were SEK 12.0 million (21.6), corresponding to an operating margin of 3.1% (5.2). During the period, earnings were positively affected by SEK 5.8 million through the dissolution of a provision for inventory which largely is compensating for the negative currency effect.
January-September
Order bookings amounted to SEK 1,341.8 million (1,348.3), down 0.5% compared with the same period last year.
Net sales reached SEK 1,318.6 million (1,307.6), up 0.8% compared with the same period last year and up 3.2% when adjusted for currency effects.
Earnings before depreciation (EBITDA) reached SEK 95.0 million (115.8), corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 7.2% (8.9).

Finnveden Metal Structures manufactures products in steel, magnesium and aluminium, or a combination of those materials. The main manufacturing processes are stamping, die casting and joining. Manufactured components include interior, chassis and body parts for the automotive industry as well as customised components for general industry.
Division FINNVEDEN METAL STRUCTURES
Isofix is the international standard for attachment points for child safety seats in passenger cars. Isofix attachments in cars comprise two anchor points located behind the division between the seat cushion and the back support.
- • Net sales in Q3 fell by SEK 29 million, down 9.9% on the same period last year.
- • Operating earnings in Q3 were SEK 0 million (22).
Net sales for the Finnveden Metal Structures division fell during the third quarter following a downward revision of customers' production plans. In July, customer deliveries were very low, especially in the sheet metal stamping operations where the decline was especially significant for heavy vehicles. Lower sales, with under-utilisation at several factories during the quarter and a less favourable product mix have had a significant negative impact on earnings and overshadow the improvement measures implemented during the year. Volumes have fallen within the sheet metal stamping operation that has good profitability but increased for the currently unprofitable foundry operation in Sweden. A large amount of new customer projects with an increased level of industrialisation activities also impacted negatively on results together with currency effects.
Measures are being implemented to strengthen profitability and adapt the business to the current market outlook. In September a restructuring of the foundry business was
started which will include expansion in Poland and a reduction of the operation in Sweden. These measures are expected to give annual savings of SEK 15-20 million, with full effect in the third quarter 2013 and will require investment of around SEK 17 million added to project costs of SEK 3 million. The measures will strengthen the division's position and lead to a more efficient production structure with necessary profitability improvements. Meanwhile strengthened efforts are being made in the rest of the business to improve productivity and further cut costs.
Work on establishing in China continues. Efforts have been intensified and running costs rose during the quarter.
Third quarter
Order bookings amounted to SEK 224.4 million (322.5), down 30.4% compared with the same period last year. Net sales reached SEK 264.9 million (294.1), down 9.9% compared with the same period last year and
down 6.8% when adjusted for currency effects.
Earnings before depreciation (EBITDA) reached SEK 8.5 million (30.1), corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 3.2% (10.2).
Operating earnings (EBIT) were SEK –0.3 million (21.8), corresponding to an operating margin of –0.1% (7.4).

Other information
ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
This interim report has been drawn up in accordance with IAS 34 (Interim Financial Reporting) and the Swedish annual accounts act. The financial statement for the parent company has been drawn up in accordance with RFR 2 (Reporting for legal entities) of the Swedish Financial Accounting Standards Council.
Risks and risk management
Exposure to operational and financial risks are a natural part of business activity and this is reflected in FinnvedenBulten's approach to risk management. The purpose is to identify and prevent risks and limit any damage that may result. The main risks that the Group is exposed to relate to the impact of the business cycle on demand, supplies of raw materials and their price variations, as well as general economic factors.
For a more detailed description of these risks, see Note 3, Risks and risk management, of the company's 2011 annual report.
Seasonal variations
FinnvedenBulten is not exposed to traditional seasonal variations. The year reflects customers' production days, which vary between quarters. The lowest net sales and operating earnings normally occur in Q3, where there are fewest production days. The other quarters are relatively even.
Transaction with related parties
No transactions were made with related parties during the reporting period.
Last year, the principal owner provided financing in the same way as the previous year, as reported in note 39 of the 2011 annual report.
Financial targets
The Group's target is to achieve profitable organic growth and to grow more strongly than the industry in general.
The Group's target is that the operating margin shall be at least seven (7) per cent.
The Group's target is that the return on average working capital shall be at least fifteen (15) per cent.
Employees
The total number of employees in the Group amounted on the closing day to 1,828 (1,790).
Contingent liabilities
During the report period there was no significant change in contingent liabilities.
Proposal concerning reduced Swedish corporation tax
The Swedish government has submitted a proposal to reduce corporation tax from the current rate of 26.3% to 22.0%. Finnveden-Bulten had net tax receivables of around SEK 119 million on the balance sheet as of 30 September 2012. A preliminary estimate shows that a reduction in corporation tax would mean a one-off cost without liquidity effects for the Group in Q4 2012 of around SEK 19 million attributable to a reassessment of deferred tax receivables. The ongoing future tax cost will however be lower.
Parent company
FinnvedenBulten AB (publ) owns, directly or indirectly, all the companies in the Group. The equity/assets ratio was 84.0% (88.3). Equity was SEK 1,209.6 million (1,265.6). Disposable cash and cash equivalents in the parent company totalled SEK 2.2 (2.2) million. The company had 8 employees on the closing day.
Important events after the end of the interim period
There were no significant events to report.
Outlook for 2012/2013
The unstable macroeconomic situation, in parts of Europe especially, is affecting the automotive industry and the Group's customers negatively with increased uncertainty and lower sales as a result. The number of holidays in Q4 combined with announced plans for lower volumes and announced stop days for certain customers may have an impact on parts of Q4 and the start to 2013.
Due to the uncertain market situation, forecasters such as IHS Global Insight (IHS) are making significant adjustments to their estimates. According to the October forecast from IHS, production of light vehicles in Western Europe will decline by around 3.3% in 2013 as a whole while production of heavy vehicles will increase by around 5.3% compared with 2012. Weighted for FinnvedenBulten's exposure this means an decrease of around 1.2% in 2013 compared with 2012.
FinnvedenBulten's good financial position should enable the Group to continue to utilise interesting business opportunities in the form of new customer contracts and continued strategic establishment on growth markets. In the immediate future the priority will be cost rationalisation and adjustment to the current market outlook.

Review report
Introduction
We have reviewed this report for the period 1 January 2012 to 30 September 2012 for FinnvedenBulten 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.
Scope of 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 International Standards on Auditing, ISA, 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.
Conclusion
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.
