Ola Rollén, President and CEO, Hexagon AB
"Hexagon's development in the third quarter demonstrates the resilience of our recurring revenue model and underscores the importance of continued investments in our product portfolio and in the emerging markets. Despite further deterioration of customer demand in Europe, Hexagon's organic growth remained strong, supported by improved demand in nearly every other part of the world. Hexagon's net earnings increased by an impressive 25 per cent, driven by strong cash flow generation reducing our financing cost and the structural shift in our product mix that is continuing to strengthen from software additions. While uncertainties surrounding the world economy and Europe in particular will continue to present challenges in the near-term, we remain confident in our ability to identify and capitalise on the growth opportunities that exist."
Recorded sales grew 11 per cent and organic growth was 5 per cent in the third quarter. The operating profit (EBIT1) increased by 17 per cent to 115.7 MEUR.
Geosystems, the application area with the largest percentage of overall sales in Europe, reports organic growth of 1 per cent. The division represents 33 per cent of Group sales in the third quarter.
Metrology, which represents 30 per cent of Group sales, reports organic growth of 3 per cent despite facing tough comparison numbers from 2011.
Technology, which represents 35 per cent of Group sales, reports 10 per cent organic growth and positive outcomes in both Intergraph divisions – SG&I turned around while PP&M continued to outgrow its underlying market.
Net sales from acquisitions during the last twelve months are reported as "Structure" in the table below.

Customer demand deteriorated in Europe in the third quarter. This was largely offset by accelerating demand in Americas and Asia where South America, China and East Asia were the fastest growing subregions. In terms of customer segments, Hexagon saw strong demand in the aerospace, power and energy markets.
Customer demand in EMEA decreased slightly in the third quarter. The organic growth in net sales was 0 per cent in the Group's core business, Measurement Technologies (MT), and -4 per cent in Other Operations.
The major markets in Western Europe experienced decreased activity levels in the quarter. A sequential slowdown was evident in the demand for measurement solutions used in automotive and manufacturing as well as demand from customers involved in infrastructure related activities. However, demand remained at record levels in the segment for enterprise engineering, construction and data management software used in power and process industries.
Demand in Southern Europe remains weak whilst Africa, Eastern Europe and the Middle East continue to grow.
Americas recorded 7 per cent organic growth in net sales in the third quarter.
Apart from defense and security related products, all of Hexagon's market segments are growing in NAFTA, including automotive, aerospace and general engineering, as well as infrastructure projects related to the Hexagon Geosystems application area. Canada showed strong growth due to high demand in the natural resources sector.
In South America, activity levels in all end markets continue to be strong with the region reporting significant organic growth.
Asia recorded organic growth in net sales of 11 per cent in the third quarter.
All of Hexagon's application areas recorded growth in China in the quarter. The growth primarily came from strong demand in the automotive, aerospace, power and energy markets, but growth was also reported in the infrastructure related businesses. Hexagon foresees further recovery for Geosystems in China as new business initiatives start to contribute during 2012.
In addition to China, several other markets and industries in the region, such as India, Korea and Japan, reported double digit growth.

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 2011. New and amended IFRS Standards effective 2012 had no significant impact on the financial statements.
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 and the ability to raise funds. 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 risks facing the Group compared to what was reported in the 2011 Annual Report.
No significant related party transactions have been incurred during the first nine months of 2012.
The composition of the Hexagon Nomination Committee for the Annual General Meeting 2013 is: Mikael Ekdahl, Melker Schörling AB (Chairman), Anders Oscarsson, AMF Fonder, Jan Andersson, Swedbank Robur fonder and Tomas Ehlin, Nordea Fonder.
No significant events have occurred during the period between quarter-end and date of issuance of this report.
We have performed a review of the condensed interim financial statements for Hexagon AB at 30 September 2012 and the nine-month period then ended. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation and presentation of these Interim financial statements in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the condensed interim financial statements based on our review.
We have conducted our review in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements, SÖG 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity", issued by the Swedish Federation of Authorized Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review has a different purpose and a substantially less scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing, ISA, and other generally accepted auditing practices.
The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain such a level of assurance that would make us aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, a conclusion based on a review does not constitute the same level of assurance as an opinion based on an audit.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial statements are not prepared, in all material aspects, for the group in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and for the parent company in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act.
