FINANCIAL DEVELOPMENT

CEO's message

General

The turbulence in the financial world has not had an impact on Indutrade's market thus far. However, we have been careful to recruit new employees in the companies that we believe may experience lower activity in the coming year. The paradox at the moment is that despite all of the signs that industry is headed for a downturn, many manufacturers of the products that Indutrade supplies are experiencing a shortage of capacity.

Third quarter

During the last quarter, the Group's invoicing exceeded SEK 2 billion for the second quarter in a row. Order intake for the quarter also exceeded SEK 2 billion. Organic growth of order intake was 15%, with total growth of 25%.

The economic downturn that many indicators point to has not yet evidenced itself in the Group's order intake figures. However, volumes for heavy vehicles and the general engineering industry are levelling out.

On the contrary, one segment that is growing is energy, which gradually will be reflected in net sales. Many new power plants are being planned and built around the world, especially in markets outside Europe, including the USA, the Middle East, South America and Asia. Indutrade has a number of companies that supply components to this industry. All types of power generation are represented among our customers, including gas plants, wind farms, solar power plants, waste combustion power plants and nuclear power plants.

Margin

The gross margin rose during the quarter to 33.4% (32.5%). This is a measure of our companies' ability to maintain a relevant price level. The EBITA margin increased to 12.2% (11.8%), which can be credited to better coverage of fixed costs through higher volumes.

The Flow Technology business area posted its best quarterly performance ever during the quarter with an EBITA margin of 13.6% (9.3%). Few major projects, improved earnings in the marine segment and systematic work on improving the margin were contributing factors.

The Special Products business area had an EBITA margin of 14.6% (17.3%). The lower margin compared with the same period in 2010 is mainly attributable to lower invoicing in the energy sector.

Acquisitions

During the quarter, Indutrade made a few, small complementary acquisitions in Switzerland, Finland and the Netherlands. After the end of the period, two companies were acquired in Sweden. One of these companies, AD MediCal, strengthens Indutrade's position in medical technology.

Outlook

The future is once again unusually uncertain – the last time we were in this situation was autumn 2008. Throughout our 33 years at Indutrade we have shown that we have a good ability to parry sharp fluctuations in the economy.

ORDER INTAKE AND NET SALES

Order intake

Order intake during the period January–September amounted to SEK 6,179 million (5,040), an increase of 23%. For comparable units, order intake rose 13%, while acquired growth was 14%. Currency movements affected order intake negatively by 4%, or SEK -223 million.

Order intake during the third quarter amounted to SEK 2,008 million (1,604), an increase of 25%. For comparable units, order intake rose 15%, while acquired growth was 12%. Currency movements affected order intake negatively by 2%, or SEK -25 million.

The positive trend in the business climate continued during the third quarter, which is reflected in the growth figures as well as in the relation between order intake and net sales during the quarter. The improvement is broadbased and covers most of the business areas and geographic markets in which the Group is active. The positive trend that was noted during the second quarter of the year, with rising demand for products in the international energy sector, has strengthened further.

All business areas noted like-for-like growth during the quarter.

Net sales

Net sales during the period January–September amounted to SEK 5,836 million (4,981), an increase of 17%. For comparable units the increase was 9%, while acquired growth was 12%. The negative currency effect was 4%, corresponding to an impact on sales of SEK -216 million.

During the third quarter of the year, net sales rose 16% to SEK 2,005 million (1,732). The increase for comparable units was 7%, while acquired growth was 11%. Currency movements had a negative effect on net sales by 2%, or SEK -29 million.

The strong business climate is reflected in net sales for the Group's business areas, which reported increases for comparable units ranging from 9% to 20% for the third quarter, except for Special Products, which noted a slight decline. The decrease for Special Products is entirely attributable to lower net sales to the energy sector during the quarter. All of the business areas reported organic growth of 5%–20% for the nine-month period.

EARNINGS AND RETURN

Earnings

Operating profit before amortisation of intangible assets (EBITA) amounted to SEK 666 million (540) for the period January–September, an increase of 23%. The operating margin before amortisation of intangible assets (the EBITA margin) was 11.4% (10.8%).

The gross margin was 34.2% (33.3%). The larger margin is attributable to the fact that parts of the Group's Swedish operations were able to benefit from the effects of a stronger Swedish krona, but also to active work on margin-enhancing measures and a slightly lower share of large projects than in the corresponding period a year ago. The rising business volume also led to a decrease in the share of fixed product costs – mainly in the Group's manufacturing companies – which also benefited the gross margin.

Net financial items amounted to SEK -74 million (-43), of which net interest expense amounted to SEK -67 million (-44). The increase in net interest expense is attributable to the Group's higher level of net debt and higher interest rates. Tax on profit for the period was SEK -137 million (-111), corresponding to a tax charge of 26.2% (25.9%). Profit after tax rose 21% to SEK 385 million (318). Earnings per share increased to SEK 9.63 (7.98).

Operating profit before amortisation of intangible assets (EBITA) amounted to SEK 245 million (205) for the third quarter, an increase of 20%. The operating margin before amortisation of intangible assets (the EBITA margin) was 12.2% (11.8%).

Net financial items for the third quarter amounted to SEK -26 million (-22), of which net interest expense accounted for SEK -23 million (-17). Tax on profit for the period totalled SEK -51 million (-40). Profit after tax rose 24% to SEK 145 million (117). Earnings per share were SEK 3.63 (2.95).

Favourable growth for comparable units combined with limited cost increases, a higher gross margin and good performance for acquired units contributed to the earnings improvement and improved EBITA margin.

All business areas contributed to the higher earnings during the period January–September as well as the third quarter. Both acquired and comparable companies made a positive contribution to the earnings improvement, while currency effects from translation of foreign units decreased earnings by SEK 25 million during the first nine months of the year and by SEK 4 million during the third quarter.

Return

The return on operating capital was 24% (24%) , and the return on equity was 26% (25%).

Business areas

Engineering & Equipment

Engineering & Equipment's operations involve sales of components as well as customisation, combinations and installations of products from various suppliers. Compared with the other business areas, sales consist of a slightly higher degree of investment goods.

Net sales rose 16% during the period January–September, to SEK 1,189 million (1,029). The increase for comparable units was 20%. Acquisitions contributed 4%, while currency movements had a negative effect on net sales, by 8%.

Demand in the Finnish market, where the business area has most of its business, remained favourable and has grown increasingly broader. This favourable trend applies for most segments of importance for the business area, such as the export-oriented engineering industry, domestic and international pulp and paper projects, construction and maintenance, and investments in infrastructure, such as water and sewage.

EBITA for the period rose 21% to SEK 92 million (76), corresponding to an EBITA margin of 7.7% (7.4%). Some resource strengthening has been conducted in certain product areas of interest within the business area, which has dampened the earnings contribution of the increase in net sales.

In early January the company Dantherm Filtration Oy was acquired, with annual sales of SEK 30 million, and in August a business with annual sales of SEK 17 million was acquired from Enervent Oy.

Flow Technology

Flow Technology offers components and systems for controlling, measuring, monitoring and regulating flows. The business area includes companies that specialise in various areas of industrial flow technology.

Net sales for the period January–September amounted to SEK 1,476 million (1,304), an increase of 13%. The increase for comparable units was 7%, while acquired growth was 9%. Currency movements had a negative effect on net sales, by 3%.

Demand remained favourable from segments such as pulp and paper, chemicals and other process industries, water/wastewater and energy. The business climate was strong in essentially all geographical markets in which the business area is active. Demand in the marine sector also developed favourably during the third quarter.

EBITA for the period rose 37% to SEK 172 million (126), and the EBITA margin reached 11.7% (9.7%). The increase in net sales for comparable units was achieved in combination with limited resource strengthening, which along with a slight improvement in the gross margin and contributions from acquisitions, contributed to the earnings improvement.

In June the company Torell Pump AB was acquired, with annual sales of SEK 40 million, and after the end of the reporting period the company AG Johansons Metallfabrik AB was acquired, with annual sales of approximately SEK 12 million.

Industrial Components

Industrial Components offers a wide range of technically advanced components and systems for production and maintenance, and medical technology equipment. The products consist mainly of consumables. The companies in the business area typically work in close co-operation with customers' development, production and maintenance departments. Major emphasis is put on identifying and understanding customers' production processes and needs.

Net sales rose 9% during the period January–September, to SEK 1,153 million (1,057). The increase for comparable units was 11%, while currency movements had a negative effect of 2%. Demand has stabilised at a high level since the second quarter of this year and was favourable for products for the general engineering industry and commercial vehicles. During the nine-month period, businesses focused on medical technology experienced increased demand.

EBITA for the period rose 30% to SEK 136 million (105), corresponding to an EBITA margin of 11.8% (9.9%). The EBITA margin was favourably affected by the increase in net sales with a limited increase in costs.

After the end of the reporting period, the company AD MediCal AB was acquired, with annual sales of approximately SEK 30 million.

Special Products

Special Products offers specially manufactured niche products, design solutions, aftermarket service and assembly, and special processing. The business area includes companies that conduct a considerable amount of own manufacturing. It is also the Indutrade business area with the highest share of proprietary products.

EBITA margin, % 14.6% 17.3% 14.9% 16.4% 14.7% 15.8%

Net sales for the period January–September rose 27% to SEK 2,039 million (1,610), of which sales for comparable units rose 5%. Acquired growth for the nine-month period was 27%, while currency movements reduced net sales by 5%. As in earlier this year, during the third quarter the business area's companies in Sweden and Germany experienced favourable demand from the engineering and export industries. For the operations in Benelux, the market climate improved starting with the second quarter of the year and has since remained above the preceding year's level. The level of activity has been higher in the international energy sector since the second quarter, which has led to higher demand and gradually larger deliveries. However, deliveries during the third quarter were considerably lower than in the second quarter and corresponding period a year ago.

EBITA rose 15% to SEK 303 million (264), and the EBITA margin was 14.9% (16.4%). Apart from the earnings contribution from acquisitions, the earnings improvement is attributable to the increase in net sales for comparable units that could be generated with limited increases in resources. The lower EBITA margin is mainly attributable to the lower level of deliveries to energy projects during the quarter and to the fact that newly acquired units on the whole have lower margins than the business area's previous, average level.

During the nine-month period Indutrade acquired the Abima Group, with companies in Switzerland, Austria and Germany; Mijnsbergen B.V. and ATB Automation N.V.-S.A., with operations in the Netherlands and Belgium; Abelko Innovation AB in Sweden; and Alcatraz Interlocks BV and MW-Instruments BV in the Netherlands. Annual sales of the acquired companies amount to approximately SEK 560 million.

REVIEW REPORT

We have reviewed this report for the period 1 January 2011 to 30 September 2011 for Indutrade AB (publ). The board of directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

We conducted our review in accordance with the Swedish Standard on Review Engagements SÖG 2410, Review of Interim Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing, ISA, and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Group, and with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Parent Company.

Preliminary purchase price allocation

Agencies, customer relationships, licences, etc. will be amortised over a 10-year period, while trademarks are assumed to have a perpetual lifetime. Trademarks are included in the amount of SEK 34 million.

Indutrade normally uses an acquisition structure entailing 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 likely outcome, which for the acquisitions made during the year to date is SEK 81 million. The earn-out payments fall due for payment within one to four years and can amount to a maximum of SEK 93 million. If the conditions are not met for the maximum earn-out payment, the outcome may be SEK 0.

Transaction costs for the acquisitions carried out during the period amounted to SEK 2 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.
