THE GROUP

JANUARY-JUNE

The Group's net sales amounted to MSEK 1,539 (1,433), which was an improvement of 7 %. After adjustments for acquired operations and currency effects, sales have increased by 4 %. Compared with the first half-year of 2011, the areas which displayed the most positive growth were Scandinavia, the UK, Australia and Spain, while Germany and the Netherlands experienced a weaker first half-year than during 2011. Sales outside Sweden amounted to MSEK 1,177 (1,070) constitute an ever increasing proportion of the Group's net sales, 76 (75) %.

Operating profit decreased by MSEK 18.4 compared with the previous year. However, MSEK 7 from a sale of property in the Netherlands was included in operating profit during the second quarter of 2011.

The decrease in operating profit was an effect of substantially lower profit within Retail Lighting. The retail market has exhibited a broad downturn throughout the entirety of Europe during the period. The reduced demand has been compensated for through growth in new customer segments and, therefore, has resulted in increased market shares. This has, however, entailed negative mix changes. .

The Group's orders received were MSEK 120 higher than sales and amounted to MSEK 1,659 (1,504), representing an increase of 8 % compared with the previous year, when adjusted for the acquisition of Designplan and for currency effects. This increase is primarily attributable to the Nordic countries, the UK and Spain.

Earnings per share amounted to SEK 4.73 (5.94).

Sales from Indoor Lighting have developed well compared with the previous year. After adjustments for acquired operations and currency effects, growth was 2 %. Sales from Retail Lighting have increased by 2 % during the first half-year, although with a negative change to the range of customers. Sales from Outdoor Lighting increased by 29 %, resulting in sales figures of MSEK 103 for the first half-year.

Exchange rate fluctuations have had only a marginal effect on operating profit during the period as a whole. Exchange rate fluctuations during the latter part of the period, implying a significant strengthening of the Swedish krona have, however, had a negative impact on the Group's profit.

SECOND QUARTER

Net sales for the period amounted to MSEK 764 (740). Adjusted for acquired operations and currency effects, net sales have increased by 1 %. Operating profit amounted to MSEK 44.7, compared with MSEK 70.7 during 2011, although this amount included the non-recurring item of MSEK 7 mentioned previously. The decreased level of profit was, primarily, an effect of a weaker performance in Retail Lighting, as well as, to a certain extent, increased product development expenses. While the Group retains its strong focus on productivity improvements and cost reductions, the Group intends to continue with relatively large investments in product development, in order to secure a beneficial position in the context of the ongoing technological shift towards LED.

Orders received amounted to MSEK 861 (824), which exceeded net sales by MSEK 97. Orders received have been positive, primarily, in the Nordic countries and the UK.

In Sweden, operations are comprised of development, manufacture and sales, while operations in other markets, with the exception of China, consist only of sales.

2(11)

to 2.6 % (6.0 %). Sales for the period January – June amounted to MSEK 853 (779). After adjustments for currency effects, this represents an increase of 9 %.

The downturn in the operating margin compared with the previous year was primarily an effect of changes to the mix and a weaker Retail Lighting segment, as well as, to a certain extent, increased product development expenses. Orders received have exhibited good growth during the first half-year.

OTHER EUROPE

This business area includes operations in Germany, Holland, France, Spain, Austria and Poland. The largest operations are LTS Licht & Leuchten GmbH in Germany, which engages in the development, manufacture and sale of lighting systems.

Net sales in the second quarter amounted to MSEK 153, compared with MSEK 179 in the previous year. Operating profit for the same period amounted to MSEK 7.8 (26.4) and the operating margin decreased to MSEK 5.1 % (14.7 %). The comparative period did, however, include income of MSEK 7 from the sale of property. Sales for the period January – June amounted to MSEK 338 (360). Adjusted for currency effects, the decrease was 6 %.

The decrease in operating profit compared with the second quarter of 2011 was a result of a weaker market, primarily in Retail Lighting, which impacted profit both through lower volumes and through changes to the mix, with a lower share of sales on the profitable German market.

OTHER

This business area is mainly comprised of corporate functions and the Parent Company, AB Fagerhult.

FINANCIAL POSITION

The Group's equity/assets ratio was 31 % (29 %). Cash and bank funds at the end of the period amounted to MSEK 234 (189) and the Group's equity totalled MSEK 875 (738). Net debt amounted to MSEK 1,017.

Cash flow from operating activities amounted to MSEK 42.2 (61.6) due to a decreased operating profit and a higher amount of tax paid. Working capital has, since the beginning of the year, increased by MSEK 33 (51), which is primarily attributable to accounts receivable.

Pledged assets and contingent liabilities amounted to MSEK 4.1 (4.7) and MSEK 3.9 (1.4), respectively.

INVESTMENTS

The Group's gross investments in fixed assets amounted to MSEK 44 (38). Additionally, investments in subsidiaries were made amounting to MSEK 0 (121).

PERSONNEL

The average number of employees during the period was 2,197 (2,186).

PARENT COMPANY

AB Fagerhult's operations consist of corporate management, financing and coordination of marketing, production and business development. Profit after financial items amounted to MSEK -0.6 (7.0).

The number of employees during the period was 6 (6).

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

The interim report of the Parent Company has been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and the recommendations of the Financial Reporting Council RFR 2. The principles applied are unchanged compared to previous years.

For further information on the accounting policies applied, see AB Fagerhult's website under Financial Information.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Group's significant risks and factors of uncertainty consist primarily of business risks and financial risks relating to currency and interest rates. Through the Company's international operations, the Fagerhult Group is subject to financial exposure related to currency fluctuations. Most prominent are the currency risks associated with export sales and the import of raw materials and components. This exposure is reduced through the flow of sensitive currencies being hedged after individual assessment. Currency risks also exist when translating net foreign assets and income. Additional information about the Company's risks can be found in the annual financial statements for 2011. In addition to the risks described in the Company's annual financial statements, no further significant risks have arisen.

PROSPECTS FOR 2012

The Group has, in recent years, had a strong sales and earnings trend through good organic growth, but also through acquisitions.

AB Fagerhult (publ) Interim report January-June 2012

5(11)

The international financial uncertainty implies continued difficulties in predicting the extent of the down turn in the economic cycle within the construction and technical sector. Fagerhult's operations within Indoor and Outdoor take place late in the business cycle, implying that, in the short-term, the prospects for sales volumes are relatively positive. The financial uncertainty is, however, noticeable in the form of increased price pressure and lower activity on a number of markets. Retail operations take place earlier in the business cycle and are, therefore, affected sooner by a downturn in the economic cycle. The Retail market has weakened during the first half of the year, which has a significant impact on the Group's operating profit.

Despite the weaker market, the Group will continue with significant investments in the areas of product development and marketing, as well as increased internationalisation.

Exchange rate fluctuations, with a stronger Swedish krona, have a negative impact on the Group's operating profit.

BOARD'S ASSURANCE

The Board of Directors and CEO hereby confirm that this interim report gives a true and fair view of the Company's and the Group's operations, financial position and results, and that it describes significant risks and factors of uncertainty facing the Group.
