Statement of the Chief Executive Officer

2010/11 Operating year - the best since going public

It is gratifying to be able to report that the 2010/11 financial year was the Group's best to date. Profit after net finance items amounted to MSEK 137, which is a record, and an increase by 136 percent compared to the year before. The operating margin reached 7.2 percent, the best number ever, and our internal metric for return on working capital reached the goal of 45 percent, which is also the best level since the Company went public. The response from the equity market was very positive, with a gain in the price of the share from SEK 31.50 to SEK 61.75 during the financial year. Together with the dividend, this makes for a total return to the shareholders of just over 100 percent during 2010/11.

Behind these successes are both the improved market situation and our consistently applied long-term strategy. With respect to this strategy, we are seeing that our organisational model with decentralisation and management by objective is becoming increasingly established, we are broadening ourselves into new technology areas with good results, value added rises consistently and we are raising the rate of acquisitions.

Operationally, the year was marked by effective recovery efforts following the recession. Most of the Group's units raised their sales volumes, increased their value added and strengthened their gross margins. In most cases while retaining the cost base and with a high rate of capital turnover. Here I wish to extend my heart-felt thanks to all dedicated associates for a job fantastically well done, with endless good efforts during the year.

During the year we have also made more acquisitions than before. Twenty-one profit units at the beginning of the year have become twenty-six during the year and we are quite content with the new additions. These acquisitions mean that the Group's portfolio of niched technology companies with strong market positions and good profitability is further strengthened. Three of the five acquisitions are product companies and two are valueadding distributors. We are thus raising the value-added component further and the proportion of proprietary products is closing in on 30 percent in the Group. This share was almost non-existent only a few years ago.

Future

When we look ahead we see great potential in continuing to develop Lagercrantz Group along the chosen path. We will continue with our decentralised model, where each unit works with clearly set goals with respect to earnings growth and profitability. Our focus will remain on value added and we will continue to broaden our operations through acquisitions. Medium and high voltage, technical security and electro-mechanics have been examples over the past few years, but we will be open to other areas as well.

Net revenue and profit

Lagercrantz Group's net revenue for the financial year 2010/11 (1 April 2010-31 March 2011) amounted to MSEK 2,029 (1,720), equivalent to an increase of 18 percent. Businesses acquired during the year contributed with MSEK 205 to the year's net revenue. The organic growth was 6 percent, and measured in local currency 13 percent.

During the fourth quarter (1 January-31 March 2011) revenue increased by 27 percent to MSEK 551 (435). MSEK 71 of this revenue came from acquired businesses. The organic growth rate increased during the year's last quarter to 11 percent, and measured in local currency 21 percent.

The business climate was favourable during the year and most of the Group's businesses experienced stronger demand than during the preceding year. Demand in division Mechatronics grew stronger during the fourth quarter, while demand in Electronics and Communications remained stable at a good level. To date no major effect of the catastrophe in Japan has been seen, neither on demand nor on the supply side.

Operating profit increased to MSEK 147 (67) and the operating margin was 7.2 percent (3.9). Operating profit increased to MSEK 45 (22) during the fourth quarter, which had the effect that the operating margin strengthened further, to 8.2 percent (5.1). Higher revenue in combination with a sharp focus on costs, as well as other measures aimed at strengthening margins in existing operations, and contributions from acquired businesses, created improved earnings during the year. Foreign exchange effects in the operating result amounted to MSEK $-3$ (-4) during the year and to MSEK 1 (-1) during the fourth quarter.

Profit after net financial items for the year amounted to MSEK 137 (58) and to MSEK 39 (19) during the fourth quarter. The net of finance items was impacted by foreign exchange effects of MSEK 0 (-1) during the year, and of $MSEK - 3$ (0) during the fourth quarter.

Profit after taxes for the year amounted to MSEK 102 (42), equivalent to earnings per share of SEK 4.61 (1.91) on a fully diluted basis. This is the best result since going public in 2001.

Profitability and financial position

The return on capital employed for the financial year was 21 percent, as compared with 11 percent for the preceding year. The corresponding figure for return on equity was 20 percent and 8 percent, respectively. Equity per share amounted to SEK 24.60, as against SEK 22.50 at the beginning of the financial year.

The equity ratio was 42 percent, as compared with 56 percent at the beginning of the financial year. At the end of the period the financial net liability amounted to MSEK 243, including a pension liability of MSEK 50, compared to MSEK 38, including pension liability of MSEK 49, at the beginning of the period. The change in equity ratio and net liability is primarily due to acquisitions made. The Group's net debt equity ratio was 0.4.

Cash flow and capital expenditures

Cash flow from operating activities amounted to MSEK 118 (87) for the year and to MSEK 41 (42) during the fourth quarter. Capital investments in non-current assets amounted to MSEK 19 (17), gross. Acquisition of businesses affected cash flow by MSEK-278 (-2) during the year. No shares were repurchased during the financial year.

Net revenue and profit by division, fourth quarter

Electronics

Net revenue for the fourth quarter increased to MSEK 166 MSEK (135). Revenue for the quarter was the highest for the year and is explained mainly by gradually stronger demand during the year. Acquisitions also contributed to the increase in revenue.

Transformation work continued in the division's operations continued during the year. Efforts to concentrate on the larger customer markets have been brought to a conclusion, whereby the businesses in Poland, Asia and the United Kingdom have been restructured. Standard products with lower margins have also been phased out. The loss of volume resulting from this phasing out was more than compensated for, by advancing the division's companies in systems and solutions sales by, for instance, broadening the offer in Sweden to include embedded systems within the field of display solutions.

Operating profit for the fourth quarter amounted to MSEK 11(7), which is equivalent to an operating margin of 6.6 percent (5.2). The improvement is a consequence of increased revenue, combined with cost savings accomplished in existing businesses, less exposure to markets and segments with lower margins, and contributions from acquisitions.

Mechatronics

Net revenue for the fourth quarter amounted to MSEK 182 (124). Revenue per quarter was relatively stable during the

year and at higher levels than last year. The increase in sales is explained by stronger demand from export-related industrial customers aimed at the division's existing companies, as well as acquisitions made to the division during the year.

The proportion of proprietary products grew significantly in the division during the year, primarily because of acquisitions made. Having constituted only a minor portion of the division's revenue a few years ago, this revenue accounted for almost half of the revenue during 2010/11, where niche production and dealing in primarily electromechanics accounted for 30 percent and 20 percent of revenue, respectively.

Operating profit for the fourth quarter amounted to MSEK 20 (8), equivalent to an operating margin of 11.0 percent $(6.5)$ . The improvement is a consequence of increased revenue, in combination with restraint with respect to costs, internal streamlining and higher value added, as well as contributions from acquisitions.

Communications

Net revenue for the fourth quarter increased to MSEK 203 (176), which thus became the year's strongest quarter. Sales successes were achieved primarily in the division's businesses in access and software, where demand increased gradually during the year. Within the access area, an acquisition also contributed to the increase. During the fourth quarter stronger demand was also seen in the division's third area, digital image transmission.

Further efforts were made during the year to strengthen the division's positions in its market niches, especially through increased selling activities and strengthening of the offer. The latter for instance by raising the proportion of proprietary products and strengthening the offer in the area of services and consultancy.

Operating profit for the fourth quarter increased to MSEK 17 (11), which is equivalent to an operating margin of 8.4 percent $(6.3)$ . The improvement is a consequence of increased revenue in combination with restraint with respect to costs in existing businesses and contribution from an acquisition.

Other financial information

Parent Company and other consolidation items

The Parent Company's internal net revenue for the year amounted to MSEK 25 (22) and the profit after net finance items was MSEK 8 (60).

Investments in non-current assets were made in a net amount of MSEK 0 (0). Of the Parent Company's committed credit facility of MSEK 400, utilisation was at the end of the period MSEK 175 (22). The change is explained by acquisitions. There were liquid funds in the amount of MSEK 0 (0). The Parent Company's equity ratio stood at 54 percent (76).

Shares held in treasury cover, inter alia, the Company's obligations under outstanding option programmes, where a total of 685,000 options have been acquired by members of senior management (awards 2008, 2009 and 2010) with a strike price of SEK 36.80, SEK 31.10, and SEK 42.00, respectively.

During the year the incentive programme based on repurchased Class B shares acquired by members of senior management in the Group during 2007 was exercised.

Review report

We have performed a review of the twelve-month period covered by the interim report for Lagercrantz Group AB as of 31 March 2011. The preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act are the responsibility of the Board of Directors and the President. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the basis of our review.

Focus and scope of the review

We have performed our review in accordance with the Standard for Review, SÖG 2410 Review of interim financial information performed by the company's elected auditor. A review comprises making inquiries, primarily of individuals responsible for financial and accounting matters, and performing analytical procedures and other review procedures. A review has a different focus and significantly smaller scope compared with an audit in accordance with Auditing Standards in Sweden (RS) and generally accepted auditing standards in other respects. Given the procedures performed in a review, it is not possible for us to obtain such a degree of assurance that we would become aware of all important circumstances which could have been identified had an audit been performed. Therefore, the opinion expressed on the basis of a review does not have the assurance of an opinion based on an audit.

Conslusion

Based on our review, no circumstances have come to our attention which would give us reason to consider that this interim report has not, in all material respects, been prepared, as far as the group is concerned, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and, as far as the parent company is concerned, in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act.
