"The Group's earnings rose compared with the same period last year due to higher and more consistent delivery volumes and both ongoing and completed rationalisation measures. The strong demand noted in Q2 continued during the seasonally weaker Q3, which resulted in good order bookings and stable loading at our production units.
The Bulten division's successful FSP concept (Full Service Provider) continues to generate good growth. During the quarter the division won a significant new order from a major vehicle manufacturer corresponding to an annual sales value of approximately EUR 35 million. Opportunities for new business and higher market shares
going forward are expected to remain good. The profitability of the Finnveden Metal Structures division has also improved compared with the corresponding quarter last year, mainly due to increased volumes and ongoing rationalisation measures, where streamlining of the foundry business has highest priority."
Johan Westman, President and CEO
Group summary
Market and outlook for 2013
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 75% of FinnvedenBulten's income while heavy commercial vehicles account for 25%.
In Q3, FinnvedenBulten noted continued improvement in demand compared with the start of the year.
According to the IHS Automotives (IHS) forecast from September for light vehicles and from August for heavy vehicles, production of light vehicles in Western Europe is expected to fall by around 1.8% and production of heavy vehicles to fall by around 6.1% in 2013 compared with 2012. Weighted for FinnvedenBulten's exposure, this means a fall of around 2.9% — which is an upward revision of 1.5 percentage points compared with the IHS forecast in the previous quarter. Some uncertainty remains in the short term for production of heavy vehicles in Western Europe. The new EURO VI emissions directive that comes into effect on 1 January 2014 is having a prebuy effect on vehicle production in 2013, and is also expected to negatively affect production at the start of 2014.
FinnvedenBulten's future plans provide for good opportunities for continued increases in market share and increased volumes in the Bulten division, plus a more stable and more profitable business for the Finnveden Metal Structures division following the announced restructuring.

- • Net sales in Q3 increased by SEK 49 million, up 12.8% on the same period last year.
- • Operating earnings in Q3 were SEK 20 million (12).
- • A significant new full-service contract worth approximately EUR 35 million annually was signed in Q3, with start planned for early 2014.

Finnveden Metal Structures manufactures in series components in steel, magnesium and aluminium, or a combination of those materials. The key manufacturing processes are stamping, die-casting and joining. The manufactured components include interior, chassis and body parts for the automotive industry and also customer-specific components for general industry.
Division FINNVEDEN METAL STRUCTURES
Robot welded yoke assy for heavy commercial vehicles. This construction consists of both in-house produced and purchased components. Some parts are surface treated both before and after the joining process, which makes the welding process complex.
- • Net sales in Q3 increased by SEK 16 million, up 5.9% on the same period last year.
- • Operating earnings in Q3 were SEK 5 million (0), or SEK 9 million (0) when adjusted for non-recurring items.
- • Restructuring of the foundry business continues with high intensity, and the initiatives in China will have lower priority for a period of time.
Net sales for the Finnveden Metal Structures division increased by 5.9% in Q3 compared with the same period last year. The general improvement in demand in Q2 continued into Q3.
Due to higher volumes and the rationalisation measures that have been implemented, profitability improved in Q3 compared with the same period last year.
The ongoing restructuring of the foundry operations has highest priority. The relocation of equipment and products in production from Sweden to Poland is planned to be completed around year end and is expected to incur costs of around SEK 40 million, of which SEK 4.2 million has affected earnings during the quarter. The restructuring programme is expected to generate SEK 30-35 million in earnings improvements compared with the outcome in 2012. Full effect is expected from the second half of 2014.
The process of selling the remaining part of the Swedish aluminium business is ongoing, and discussions are being held with several parties. The aim is for the division to develop its multi-material offer connected to magnesium die-casting and sheet metal stamping.
The ongoing restructuring programme continues with high intensity and full focus for the division, which means that the establishment in China will have a lower priority for a period of time.

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.
With effect from Q1 2013 the amendment to accounting rules concerning IAS 19, Employee benefits, has been applied. The changes relate to reporting of defined-benefit pension plans. The new principles affect reporting retroactively, which is why the opening balance for 1 January 2012 has been recalculated and equity has been reduced by SEK 3.3 million. The switch to the new accounting principles has meant that net pension allocations including a special salary tax have risen by SEK 2.1 million as of 31 December 2012. For the full year 2012 earnings improved by SEK 1.5 million (SEK 0.07 per share) and other comprehensive income increased by SEK 0.3 million as a consequence of the new accounting principles. The change did not affect the Group's earnings for the first three quarters of either 2012 or 2013. The accounting principles are otherwise unchanged.
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 2012 annual report.
Verdict of Swedish Administrative Court of Appeal concerning interest deduction
In a verdict dated 11 April 2013, the administrative court of appeal in Stockholm has reversed the review decision of the Swedish Tax Agency and permitted a deduction for interest on a shareholder loan in accordance with the submitted tax forms. The verdict, which is subject an appeal by the Tax Agency at the Supreme Administrative Court, means that FinnvedenBulten AB (publ) may make a further deduction of SEK 197 million, of which SEK 123 million remained unutilised as of 30 September 2013. Following consultation with leading tax experts, the company's management team considers the possibility that the Tax Agency will succeed with its appeal to be low, but it cannot be ruled out. Consequently, a deferred tax asset of SEK 27.1 million has been reported for the second quarter.
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 although variations may occur.
Transactions with related parties
No transactions were made with related parties during the reporting period. For further information, see note 39 of the 2012 annual report.

Review report
Introduction
We have reviewed this report for the period 1 January 2013 to 30 September 2013 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.
