"A strong year with organic growth of 22% adjusted for currency effects. The business has progressed positively for most of the year, but as several customers adjusted their production plans downward, the pace of our activities was affected in December. New projects have incurred higher costs during the quarter. The economic situation remains uncertain but we see good opportunities for growth through our initiatives on growth markets. When we summarize 2011 we can conclude that FinnvedenBulten has delivered strong growth and after adjustments for IPO costs, we have achieved all of our financial targets."
Johan Westman, President and CEO
GROUP SUMMARY
Market for FinnvedenBulten
The production rate for both light and heavy vehicles remained good during most of the fourth quarter. However, several vehicle producers reduced their production rate plans, which had a limited negative effect on Finnveden-Bulten's deliveries in December.
The macroeconomic situation remains uncertain, but for vehicle producers at the time of writing this had not led to any major cutbacks but rather an adjustment of the rate of production to a somewhat lower level.
Deliveries for light vehicles (cars and light commercial vehicles) currently account for 72% of FinnvedenBulten's income while heavy commercial vehicles account for 28%. According to IHS Global Insight, the production of light vehicles in Western Europe rose by 3% and production of heavy vehicles by 32% for 2011 compared with 2010. Weighted for FinnvedenBulten's exposure this means market growth for production in Western Europe of around 11% in 2011, while FinnvedenBulten's organic growth, adjusted for currency effects, was 22%.
Of the Group's total net sales, 82% (80) is attributable to vehicle producers (OEM) and 18% (20) to their sub-suppliers and to other sectors.
Order bookings and net sales Fourth quarter
Order bookings in Q4 were SEK 780.1 million (785.3), a decline of 0.7% compared with the corresponding period in the previous year.

January-December
Order bookings were SEK 3,208.9 million (2,964.5), an increase of 8.2% compared with the corresponding period in the previous year.
Net sales for the Group totalled SEK 3,085.0 million (2,607.3), an increase of 18.3% compared with the corresponding period in the previous year. Adjusted for currency effects, the increase was 22.3% compared with the same period last 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.
Bulten's Fastite is a self-tapping screw for joining lightweight structures with thin materials. This design reduces costs, as no nuts are needed, which in turn reduces the weight and number of parts used in the manufacturing process.

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.
Damage to production equipment, as a result of natural disasters or fire, may have a negative impact on Finnveden-Bulten's activities, both in property damage and business interruption, which makes it impossible or harder to fulfil these obligations to customers. This – and the risk of it happening – could in turn cause customers to use other suppliers. FinnvedenBulten's customers and other suppliers are naturally also affected by this risk, which in its turn may affect Finnveden-Bulten, since vehicle manufacturers may experience production stops due to damage to, or a shortage of, components from other suppliers. It cannot therefore be excluded that production stops and damage, affecting both FinnvedenBulten, its customers and other important subcontractors to these customers, could negatively affect FinnvedenBulten's business, financial position and earnings if these risks
arise and they are not covered by the company's insurance policies.
For a more detailed description of these risks, see Note 3, Risks and risk management on pages 26-30 of the company's 2010 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
During Q1 preference shares were reclassified into ordinary shares, with one ordinary share awarded for one preference share. This reclassification meant that the Group's interest-bearing liability to shareholders was reduced by SEK 94.6 million and the Group's equity increased correspondingly.
During Q2, interest-bearing debt was converted into shareholders' equity by a set-off issue. The issue resulted in 7,197,430 new ordinary shares and resulted in a debt reduction and an increase in Group equity of SEK 352.7 million.
In addition, an issue in kind was carried out in which board members'

The transaction has no effect on the Group's equity, as the issue amount (SEK 90.3 million) was equal to the distributions made to minority shareholders in connection with the issue.
No other transactions were made with related parties during the reporting period.

Outlook for 2012
In its latest forecast update, IHS Global Insight (IHS) forecasts that 12.6 million light vehicles will be produced in Western Europe in 2012, compared with 13.6 million in 2011. For heavy vehicles over 15 tons, IHS forecasts that production in Western Europe will reach around 330,000 units in 2012 compared with around 340,000 in 2011. In recent months IHS has successively revised its forecasts downwards for both heavy and light vehicles. Meanwhile, continued production of cars and commercial vehicles in Western Europe are helped by exports to growth markets.
Uncertainties remain about the macroeconomic situation for European countries but FinnvedenBulten is well prepared and has a good flexibility in
case of an additional decline in demand.
FinnvedenBulten has created a strong platform for continued profitable growth and has won new business during the period, which indicates the company's competitiveness and its ability to win market shares.
The operational costs connected to new projects and expansion plans in growth markets are expected to impact the start of 2012 with approximately SEK 5 million.
Proposed dividend
FinnvedenBulten's objective over time is to share one third of net earnings after tax. Consideration is however given to the company's financial position, cash flow and future prospects.
The proposed dividend is SEK 2.00 per share, amounting to SEK 42.1 million. The Board has made the assessment that the proposed dividend is wellbalanced in relation to the company's expansion plans and cash flow.
Annual General Meeting 2012
The Annual General Meeting for FinnvedenBulten AB (publ) will be held on 26 April 2012 in Gothenburg.
Shareholders who wish to make a proposal to the meeting are required to send it to the Board via email to [email protected] or via post to FinnvedenBulten AB (publ), Årsstämma, Box 9148, 400 93 Göteborg.
