COMMENTS FROM OLA ROLLÉN, PRESIDENT AND CEO, HEXAGON AB

"The strength of having a geographically and operationally diversified business shows in the second quarter. We post a solid organic growth of 13 per cent primarily driven by the emerging markets and by the engineering and energy related segments. The strength of our core business is evidenced by the increase in gross margin to 55 per cent and the increase in the operating margin to 22 percent, in spite of significant currency headwinds in the quarter. While we recognise the uncertainty surrounding the macro outlook, we feel confident that our business mix will provide plenty of opportunities to continue to grow in the second half of the year."

Ola Rollén, President and CEO, Hexagon AB

GROUP DEVELOPMENT Q2

The second quarter of 2011 was another strong quarter for Hexagon, with organic growth in net sales of 13 per cent. High activity in the emerging markets continues, supporting strong growth, while the mature markets continue to recover.

Geosystems, which represented 36 per cent of Group sales in the second quarter, recorded an organic growth of 1 per cent in net sales. Geosystems growth was adversely affected by the lack of investments in high-speed rail in China during the quarter.

Metrology, which represented 29 per cent of Group sales, displayed 33 per cent organic growth in net sales. Technology, which includes the acquisition of Intergraph in late 2010, represented 32 per cent of net sales.

Intergraph is reported as "structure" in the table below.

MARKET DEVELOPMENT

All geographic regions display double-digit organic growth in net sales. Growth in the

quarter primarily comes from the emerging markets, industrial segments, and power and energy markets.

EMEA

The demand for Hexagon's products and services in EMEA continued to improve in the second quarter. The organic growth in net sales was 14 per cent for the Group's core business, Measurement Technologies (MT), as well as for Other Operations.

The major markets in Western Europe experienced increased activity levels in the second quarter primarily driven by improved demand for measurement solutions used in industrial segments such as automotive and aerospace. Demand was also driven by customer investments in CAD software used in power and process industries. Demand in Southern Europe remains weak. Eastern Europe, Russia and the Middle East continue to grow.

Hexagon expects a continued increased demand in EMEA in 2011.

AMERICAS

Americas recorded organic growth in net sales of 15 per cent in the second quarter.

Several of Hexagon's markets are growing in NAFTA, including automotive, aerospace, and general engineering, as well as government projects related to Hexagon's Technology division. Demand was also strong for CAD tools used in connection to the Canadian oil sands exploration. The infrastructure and construction sector did not experience the same strong growth as the engineeringrelated sectors.

Hexagon expects a continued increased demand in NAFTA in 2011.

Once again, South America (led by Brazil) showed strong demand for all of Hexagon's divisions and products. Specifically, as activity in mining and oil exploration continues to increase, Hexagon continues to gain market share.

Hexagon expects a continued increased demand in South America in 2011.

ASIA

Asia continues to record strong organic growth in net sales, which was 12 per cent in the second quarter.

Growth in the region was primarily due to strong demand from the automotive and aerospace industries in China and India. Hexagon also received significant orders from the Chinese power industry and from the marine industry in the region.

The delay in the build-out of the high speed rail network in China had a significant, negative impact on the regions, as well as Hexagons, growth rate in the quarter. Growth in China in the quarter excluding high-speed rail was close to 30 per cent. In addition to India and China, several other markets and industries in the region, such as Korea, Australia and parts of Southeast Asia are growing.

Hexagon expects a continued increased demand in Asia in 2011.

This Interim Report has not been reviewed by the company's auditors.

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

Hexagon applies International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union. Hexagon's report for the Group is prepared in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" and the Annual Accounts Act. Parent company accounts are prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act. Accounting principles and calculation methods are unchanged from those applied in the Annual Report for 2010 with the following exception: As of 1 January 2011, Hexagon has changed the accounting and presentation currency from Swedish kronor (SEK) to Euro (EUR). The change of accounting currency from SEK to EUR will decrease the currency exposure in both the profit and loss statement as well as in comprehensive income. It will also allow the Hexagon Group to better match debt to the net assets.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTY FACTORS

As an international group, Hexagon is exposed to a number of business and financial risks. The business risks can be divided into strategic, operational and legal risks. The financial risks are related to such factors as exchange rates, interest rates, liquidity, the giving of credit and financial instruments. The execution of the acquisition of Intergraph implies risk. In addition to company specific risks, the acquired company's relations with customers, suppliers and key personnel may be negatively affected. There is also a risk that integration processes may prove more costly or more time consuming than estimated and that anticipated synergies in whole or in part fail to materialise. Risk management in Hexagon aims to identify, control and reduce risks. This work begins with an assessment of the probability of risks occurring and their potential effect on the Group. There has been no change in the risk picture in comparison with what was reported in the 2010 Annual Report.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

As of 29 July, 2011 MSCI has decided to reclassify Hexagon AB from Sector 20 Industrials to Sector 45 Information Technology. Classification is undertaken in accordance with Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS), a classification standard used by many Stock Exchanges.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

No significant related party transaction occurred in the first six months of 2011, except for compensation to the Board of Directors and the Executive Management.
