CEO's message

Continued improved market situation and new acquisitions

Order intake for the Group in total and for comparable units has now risen for three straight quarters. Compared with the second quarter of 2009, order intake rose 14% in total and 11% for comparable units, which is the strongest growth since the third quarter of 2008. All business areas posted higher order intake for comparable units than in the same period a year ago.

I am pleased to note that the Engineering & Equipment business area, which mainly serves the Finnish market, has once again increased its order intake. The trend from the first quarter for the Industrial Components business area has continued, with higher volume for components for various types of manufacturing industries, including commercial vehicles, which showed very strong growth.

The Flow Technology business area, which was marginally affected by the general downturn in 2009, has continued to perform well and increased its order intake during the quarter. In the Special Products business area, growth has been generated above all through acquisitions. Order intake from the energy sector remains at a lower level, and demand has not yet resumed.

Invoicing for the quarter was higher than a year earlier due to improved order intake and completed acquisitions. The order book increased during the quarter.

The Group is once again showing its strength through a very good gross margin, which improved during the quarter. The EBITA margin was 11.1% for the quarter and 10.3% accumulated, which is higher than the Group's long-term target of a minimum of 10%.

Acquisitions

During the quarter we signed an agreement to acquire the Meson Group, which supplies valves under its own brand primarily for marine applications and to some extent for the industrial segment. The acquisition, which was completed in July, is the largest we have carried out since our stock market introduction. Also during the quarter, we acquired the pump operations of A-Vacuum Oy in Finland. In all, including the Meson Group, eight acquisitions were carried out during the first half of the year, with combined annual sales of approximately SEK 1 billion.

The prospects for further acquisitions during the second half are favourable. The positive outlook I expressed in connection with the first quarter report remains.

ORDER INTAKE AND NET SALES

Order intake

Order intake during the period January–June amounted to SEK 3,436 million (3,178), an increase of 8%. For comparable units, order intake rose 5%, while acquired growth was 9%. Currency movements had a negative effect on order intake, by 6%.

Order intake during the second quarter amounted to SEK 1,772 million (1,548), an increase of 14%. For comparable units, order intake rose 11%, while acquired growth was 9%. Currency movements had a negative effect on order intake, by 6%.

The growth in order intake for comparable units that was noted during the latter part of the first quarter continued, with all business areas reporting growth during the second quarter.

The business area that was affected the earliest in 2008 by the economic downturn was Industrial Components, which is now reporting a clear improvement in order intake. Flow Technology's order intake also developed well, while the Special Products business area has benefited from improved demand in the Swedish market. The pace of order intake was lower for companies focusing on energy projects. In the Finnish market, where the Engineering & Equipment business area is active, there are signs of an improvement in demand, which resulted in growth in order intake during the quarter.

Net sales

Net sales amounted to SEK 3,249 million (3,320) for the first six months of 2010, a decrease of 2% compared with 2009. For comparable units, net sales decreased by 5%, while acquired growth was 8%. Currency movements had a negative effect on net sales, by 5%.

Net sales in the second quarter rose 8% to SEK 1,722 million (1,589). For comparable units, net sales rose 5%, while acquired growth was 9%. Currency movements had a negative effect on net sales, by 6%.

Net sales for the Industrial Components business area rose 7% during the first half of the year as a result of improved order intake. Net sales for the other business areas posted like-forlike performance of between -1% and -12% for the period and were favourably affected by an increase during the second quarter.

EARNINGS AND RETURN

Earnings

The gross margin for the period January–June was 33.8% (32.8%), an improvement of 1.0 percentage points. The gross margin for the second quarter was 33.9% (33.1%), an improvement of 0.8 percentage points.

The improved gross margin is mainly attributable to a shift in net sales towards products with higher margins along with improved productivity in manufacturing companies. Compared with a year ago, the strengthening of the Swedish krona has had a favourable impact on parts of the Group.

Operating profit before amortisation of intangible assets (EBITA) was SEK 335 million (303) for the period January–June, an increase of 11%. The operating margin before amortisation of intangible assets (the EBITA margin) was 10.3% (9.1%). Measures taken in 2009, to reduce overheads, together with completed acquisitions and the improved gross margin, have contributed to a higher EBITA margin.

Net financial items amounted to SEK -21 million (-35). Tax on profit for the period is estimated at SEK -71 million (-62). Profit after tax rose 18% to SEK 201 million (171). Earnings per share were SEK 5.03 (4.28).

Operating profit before amortisation of intangible assets (EBITA) was SEK 191 million (142) for the second quarter, an increase of 35%. The operating margin before amortisation of intangible assets (the EBITA margin) was 11.1% (8.9%). The increase in net sales combined with cost adjustments made in 2009, together with the improved gross margin, contributed to the improved EBITA margin. Net financial items during the second quarter amounted to SEK -13 million (-20). Tax on profit for the period is estimated at SEK -41 million (-28). Profit after tax rose 51% to SEK 115 million (76). Earnings per share were SEK 2.88 (1.90).

Return

The return on operating capital for the last 12 months was 22.3% (27.9%) and was affected by a lower level of earnings compared with the measurement period used in the preceding year. However, the return increased by 1.4 percentage points over the first quarter.

Business areas

Engineering & Equipment

Engineering & Equipment offers customised niche products, design solutions, aftermarket service and special processing. The main product areas are hydraulics and pneumatics, industrial equipment, flow products, transmissions and measuring instruments.

2010 2009 2009/10 2009
SEK million Jan-Jun Jan-Jun Moving 12 mos Jan-Dec
Net sales 678 852 1,395 1,569
EBITA 44 45 82 83
EBITA-margin, % 6.5% 5.3% 5.9% 5.3%

Net sales fell 20% during the period January–June, to SEK 678 million (852). For comparable units, net sales fell 12%, compared with a decrease of 20% during the first quarter. Exchange rate movements had a negative effect on net sales for the first half, by 8%. Demand in the market segments in Finland in which the business area is responsible for showed signs of improvement during the second quarter.

EBITA for the period was SEK 44 million (45), corresponding to an EBITA margin of 6.5% (5.3%). Mainly on account of the cost adjustments made in 2009, the EBITA margin was maintained, despite the drop in net sales.

During the period, the pump operations of A-Vacuum Oy were acquired.

Flow Technology

Flow Technology components and systems for the management, control and supervision of flows. The main product areas are valves, pumps, measuring and analysis instruments, pipe systems, hydraulics, compressors and service.

Net sales for the period amounted to SEK 829 million (838), a decrease of 1%. For comparable units, net sales fell 1% since the start of the year, while net sales during the quarter rose 9%. Acquired growth was 3%. Currency movements had a negative effect on net sales, by 3%. During the period, lower activity in markets in Denmark and Norway was compensated by improved demand in other markets.

EBITA for the period was SEK 82 million (90), and the EBITA margin was 9.9% (10.7%). The lower EBITA margin is an effect of a slightly higher level of overheads during the period, which were partly compensated by an improved gross margin.

The company Corona Control AB was acquired during the period. The acquisition of Meson AB was carried out after the end of the reporting period and will be included in the Group as from 1 July 2010.

Industrial Components

Industrial Components offers a wide range of technically advanced components and systems for production and maintenance. The main product areas are fasteners, mechanical components, pumps, lubrications, rust proofing, cutting tools, adhesives and chemical technology, transmission and automation, filters and process technolog, and medical technical technology.

2010 2009 2009/10 2009

Net sales increased during the period by 17% to SEK 713 million (607). For comparable units, net sales rose 7%, while acquired growth was 13%. Currency movements had a negative effect on net sales, by 3%. In March the business area posted growth for comparable units for the first time since the third quarter of 2008. During the second quarter, net sales for comparable units rose 20%. Growth for the period was mainly attributable to higher demand for products for commercial vehicles. Higher activity was also noted for products for the steel and mining industries.

EBITA for the period was SEK 65 million (32), corresponding to an EBITA margin of 9.1% (5.3%). The EBITA margin was favourably affected by a higher volume of deliveries, with limited cost increases owing to costcutting programmes carried out in 2009.

During the period, the companies Techno Skruv i Värnamo AB (Sweden) and AxMediTec SP. Z o.o (Poland) were acquired.

Special Products

Special Products offers specially manufactured niche products, design solutions, aftermarket service and assembly, and special processing. The main product areas are valves, electrical components, glass, technical ceramics, measuring technology, special plastics, filters and process technology, industrial springs, piston rings and hydraulic couplings.

EBITA was SEK 166 million (157), and the EBITA margin was 15.9% (15.1%). The improved EBITA margin was an effect of an improved gross margin resulting from a changed product mix, while it was moderated by a slightly higher level of overheads.

During the period, Lekang Group (with companies in Norway, Sweden and Denmark), Stålprofil PK AB and a construction plastics business were acquired.

The Parent Company's capital expenditures in property, plant and equipment totalled SEK 0 (1) mkr. The number of employees on 30 June was 9 (8).

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Indutrade Group conducts business in 18 countries on four continents, through some 120 companies. This spread, together with a large number of customers in various industries and a large number of suppliers, mitigates the business and financial risks. In addition to the risks and uncertainties described in Indutrade's 2009 Annual Report, no significant risks or uncertainties are judged to have emerged or been eliminated. Since the Parent Company is responsible for the Group's financing, it is subject to financing risk.

The Parent Company's other activities are not subject to risks other than indirectly via subsidiaries. For a more detailed report on risks that affect the Group and Parent Company, please see the 2009 Annual Report.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

No transactions took place during the year between Indutrade and related parties, which have significantly affected the Company's financial position or result of operations.

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

Indutrade reports in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 and RFR 1.3. The Parent Company applies RFR 2.3. The same accounting policies and calculation methods are used in this report as those used in Indutrade's 2009 Annual Report and described under the section "Accounting principles and notes".

Effective 1 January 2010 the Indutrade Group applies two revised standards: IAS 27R: Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, and IFRS 3R: Business Combinations. The new rules apply for acquisitions completed after 1 January 2010. For Indutrade, these revisions entail that transaction costs may no longer be capitalised, but must be reported through profit or loss under Other income and expenses in the income statement. Any revaluations of conditional earn-out payments will be reported in the income statement for acquisitions carried out after 1 January 2010.

The amendments to IFRS 3 are in conflict with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, which is why transaction costs will continue to be capitalised and be included in the cost of shares and participations in the Parent Company. Apart from these two revised standards, there are no other IFRSs or IFRIC interpretations that will be applicable for Indutrade or have any material impact on the Group's result of operations or financial position.

INCENTIVE PROGRAMME

In connection with the Company's stock market introduction in late 2005, in collaboration with AB Industrivärden, senior executives were offered to participate in an incentive programme that expired in June this year. In May, AB Industrivärden repurchased all outstanding options from the participants.

The Board of Directors of Indutrade has, in collaboration with AB Industrivärden and after a decision by the Annual General Meeting, directed an offering to senior executives to participate in a new incentive programme. The aim of the programme is to promote management's long-term participation and involvement in the Company. The programme runs until 31 October 2013.

Forty-nine senior executives have acquired a total of 362,000 call options, issued by AB Industrivärden, and 10,000 shares. Indutrade is paying a subsidy of SEK 22 for each acquired call option and share, under the condition that the participants remain employed and keep their acquired call options/shares. The subsidy will be paid by the Company to the participants on two occasions and in two equal parts – in December 2011 and June 2013. The total cost for the Company will amount to approximately SEK 9 million, or approximately SEK 3 million per year.

FINANCIAL CALENDAR

The interim report 1 January – 30 September will be published on 2 November 2010. The year-end report 1 January – 31 December 2010 will be published on 15 February 2011.

STYRELSENS FÖRSÄKRAN

The Board of Directors and President certify that the half-year interim report gives a true and fair presentation of the Company's and Group's operations, financial position and result of operations, and that it describes the significant risks and uncertainties facing the Company and companies included in the Group.

Indutrade normally uses an acquisition structure with a base level of consideration plus a conditional earn-out payment. Initially, the earn-out payment is valued at the present value of the most probable payment, which for the acquisitions made during the year to date is SEK 62 million. The earn-out payments fall due for payment within two years, and the maximum outcome can be SEK 66 million. If the conditions are not met, the outcome can be zero.

Transaction costs for the acquisitions carried out during the first quarter amounted to SEK 1 million and are included in Other income and expenses in the income statement. No revaluation of conditional earn-out payments has been made to date.
