NET REVENUE AND PROFIT

Second quarter, July 2013 – September 2013

The Lagercrantz Group's net revenue for the second quarter (1 July – 30 September 2013) of the 2013/14 financial year increased by 4 percent to MSEK 577 (556). The organic growth in sales measured in local currency was –2 percent.

The overall business climate was stable during the quarter, with the slow improvement reported earlier strengthened somewhat. The markets in Scandinavia and Germany showed a slightly stronger trend, which included a few project transactions towards the end of the period. The Finnish market remains difficult, however.

Operating profit for the second quarter of the financial year increased by 9 percent to MSEK 58 MSEK (53). The operating margin grew to 10.1 percent (9.5), which is an alltime since going public. The effect of foreign currencies on operating earnings was MSEK –1 (–1) during the quarter.

Profit after finance items increased by 10 percent to MSEK 55 (50). The improvement in earnings is explained primarily by acquired units and by a positive development for several units in division Mechatronics. The currency effect on net finance items was MSEK 0 (–1).

Profit after taxes for the quarter increased by 14 percent to MSEK 42 (37), equivalent to earnings per share of SEK 1.85 (1.65).

First six months, 1 April – 30 September 2013

For the first six months of the financial year (1 April – 30 September 2013) net revenue amounted to MSEK 1,188 (1,122), equivalent to an increase of 6 percent. Organic growth, measured in local currency, amounted to –2 percent.

Operating profit for the first six months amounted to MSEK 112 (102), equivalent to an increase of 10 percent and an operating margin of 9.4 percent (9,1). The currency effect on operating profit was MSEK –1 (–1) during the first six

months.

Profit after finance items for the first six months increased by 10 percent to MSEK 107 (97). Net finance items was affected by currency effects in the amount of MSEK 0 (0).

Profit after taxes for the first six months amounted to MSEK 81 (71), which is equivalent to earnings per share after dilution of SEK 3.57 (3.16). Earnings per share after dilution for the most recent twelve-month period amounted to SEK 7.47, as against SEK 7.07 for the 2013/14 financial year.

PROFITABILITY AND FINANCIAL POSITION

The return on equity for the most recent twelve-month period amounted to 26 percent (23) and the return on capital employed was 22 (21) percent.

Equity per share amounted to SEK 31.30 at the end of the period, as against SEK 31.00 at the beginning of the financial year and was affected, aside from earnings, by dividends paid and currency-related translation effects. Dividends of MSEK 73 (62) were paid during the period, equivalent to SEK 3.25 (2,75) per share.

The equity ratio stood at 41 percent compared to 44 percent at the beginning of the financial year.

At the end of the period the financial net liability amounted to MSEK 318, not including pension liability, compared to MSEK 248, not including pension liability, at the beginning of the financial year.

Changes to IAS 19 with respect to pension accounting, including repeal of the so-called corridor method, will mean increased volatility of the pension liability and equity. As a consequence hereof Lagercrantz Group has, starting with the 2013/14 financial year, changed the method of accounting for net liability and net debt equity ratio. The net debt equity ratio is then calculated not including provisions for pension. The net debt to equity ratio, according to the new definition, stood at 0.5 compared with 0.4 at the beginning of the financial year.

NET REVENUE AND PROFIT BY DIVISION, SECOND QUARTER, JULY 2013 – SEPTEMBER 2013

Electronics

Net revenue for the quarter amounted to MSEK 157 (161). Lower sales of electronic components were offset by increases in lighting control and RFID.

Operating profit for the quarter amounted to MSEK 11 (10). This is equivalent to an operating margin of 7.0 percent (6.2). The earnings and margin improvement is primarily due to a positive development for the Danish subsidiaries and the fact that the RFID business in Finland was successful in its export efforts during the year.

Mechatronics

Net revenue for the quarter increased by 14 percent to MSEK 185 (162). Stronger sales is primarily due to acquired volumes in electrical enclosures and custom cable harnesses in Sweden.

Operating profit for the quarter increased by 29 percent to MSEK 31 (24), yielding an operating margin of 16.8 percent (14.8). Profitability in electrical enclosures and electrical connection systems, as well as cable harness production showed a positive development during the quarter.

Communications

Net revenue for the quarter amounted to MSEK 169 (178). Demand in some units was slightly weaker than during the preceding year, in part due to the weak Finnish market. Major interest in the Group's offerings in camera surveillance continued unabated. Sales of software for computer-aided design also showed a positive development.

Operating profit for the quarter amounted to MSEK 11 (15), which is equivalent to an operating margin of 6.5 percent (8.4). The decline in profit and lower margin is explained primarily by weaker demand in some units.

Niche Products

Net revenue for the quarter increased by 20 percent to MSEK 66 (55). Revenue was affected positively by acquisitions.

Operating profit for the quarter amounted to MSEK 9 (10), equivalent to an operating margin of 13.6 percent (18.2). The lower margin was due primarily to a lower volume of sales in a couple of units, where certain customers continue their cautious approach. Increased demand was noted towards the end of the period, however.

During the quarter the division acquired Asept International AB, described below under the heading Acquisitions.

OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION

CASH FLOW AND CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

Acquisitions

During the second quarter the business in Asept International AB was acquired. Asept is a niched product company that offers dispenser systems, primarily used for liquid food products.

Asept has aggregate annual sales of approximately MSEK 65 with good profitability and is a part of division Niche Products from August 2013.

During the first six months of the year the business in Frontwall i Anderstorp AB was also acquired (in June 2013), in the form of an asset purchase by Lagercrantz Group's subsidiary Svensk Stålinredning AB. The estimated price for the acquired businesses amounted to MSEK 96. This amount includes estimated contingent consideration in the amount of MSEK 21 for the companies, which constitutes 52 percent of maximum payout. The payout depends on the earnings achieved by the companies. Transaction costs for the acquisitions made during the period amounted to MSEK 1 and is included in Administrative costs in the income statement.

These acquisitions have increased goodwill in the Group by MSEK 42 and other intangible non-current assets by MSEK 34, primarily relating to trademarks and proprietary products. The deferred tax liability amounts to MSEK 7.

The effect of the acquisitions made on consolidated revenue during the year is MSEK 13 and on profit before taxes MSEK 1 after acquisition costs. Had the acquired units been consolidated from 1 April 2013 the effect on revenue and profit would have been MSEK 37 and MSEK 2, respectively, after acquisition costs.

Accounting policies

This Interim Report for the Group has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The interim report for the Parent Company has been prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, the Swedish Securities Market Act and the provisions of RFR 2 Accounting for legal entities. In addition to the new accounting policies for 2014 described below, the same accounting principles are applied in the present quarterly report as in the 2012/13 Annual Report.

The standard change of IAS 19 concerning pension liabilities, to be applied for the financial year beginning 1 April 2013, have affected the Group's financial reports. The opening balance of the pension liability for the 2013/14 financial year has increased by MSEK 8 and equity has been reduced by MSEK 6, including tax effects taken into account. As mentioned above, changes to IAS 19 with respect to pension accounting, including repeal of the so-called corridor method, will mean increased volatility of pension liability and equity. As a consequence hereof, Lagercrantz Group has changed the way net liability is accounted for and the method for calculating net debt equity ratio. The net liability will be calculated not including provisions for pensions.

The new standard IFRS 13 has the effect of increasing disclosure requirements, as discussed under the heading Financial Instruments on page 8.
