President's comments

"The second quarter of 2016 was a quarter with slightly lower volumes but with continued strong margins. The Group sales amounted to 2,627 MSEK and the operating margin improved to 17.7 per cent. The operating cash flow was once again strong. The volumes were slightly lower compared to the corresponding year-earlier period, but with continued strong volumes to automotive related customers. Sales have once again been negatively affected by considerably lower sales prices due to considerably lower raw material prices than the corresponding year-earlier period. Price pressure was continued strong on all markets. During the quarter, Berwin Group, a leading UK Rubber Compounder, was acquired.

During the first half of 2016, the volume development was stable with continued strong result. Our financial position remains very strong and with a net cash of 234 MSEK, we are well equipped for further expansion."
