1) During the first quarter of 2015, the two remaining stores in Denmark were discontinued and, in the 2015 interim reports, the Danish store operation is presented according to the rules for discontinued operations in IFRS 5. All comparative periods have been restated. The Danish store operation was previously included in the MECA segment. With the exception of cash flow and net debt, all amounts pertain to continuing operations.
During the second quarter of 2015, revenue for the Group inceased 10 per cent to SEK 1,527 M (1,387) and EBIT rose 8 per cent to SEK 197 M (182). The posted EBIT was the highest ever for a single quarter. The performance of Mekonomen Nordic was particularly positive, where EBIT increased 20 per cent to SEK 124 M (104). MECA's export business to Denmark has reduced earnings for the second quarter.
Revenue for the first six months rose 9 per cent to SEK 2,909 M (2,677) and the EBIT increased 10 per cent to SEK 339 M (309). The market was slightly stronger than in the preceding year and we expect a stable market development for the remainder of 2015. MECA:s export business to Denmark and currency effects are estimated to have a negative impact on earnings during the third quarter.
In the second quarter, growth was 13 per cent in MECA, 9 per cent in Mekonomen Nordic and 7 per cent in Sørensen og Balchen. Sales to our affiliated workshops were healthy and posted growth of 15 per cent for the quarter and we recorded a continued healthy sales increase for our proprietary ProMeister brand, which accounted for about 12 per cent of spare-parts sales in the Group.
I took up my position as President and CEO on 15 June and I look confidently forward toward building on and further developing the Mekonomen Group's strong position.
We have an increased focus on cost-efficiency and, moving forward, we will combine this to an increasing degree with investments in infrastructure and the organisation to continue to lead development in our industry with the aim of creating competitive advantages. We will also in greater occurence realise Group synergies to drive efficiency and growth. Ongoing projects will be complemented by new initiatives in key areas. For example is such an area a new Group-wide e-commerce platform for B2B and B2C.
The Mekonomen Group's growth builds on our ability to maintain a leading position, drive development in our industry and continuously strengthen the offering to our customers. Innovation should permeate all parts of the Group and maintain strong focus on customer-oriented business development aimed at creating growth, by strengthening our position with existing and new customers.
Magnus Johansson President and CEO

1) From 1 January 2015, the operation in Denmark is presented as a discontinued operation and therefore not included in the MECA segment. Comparative figures have been restated. For further information about discontinued operations, see page 16.
2) Acquisition-related items attributable to Mekonomen AB's direct acquisition of MECA have been reallocated from the MECA segment to "Other." Comparative figures have been restated. Amortisation of acquired intangible assets for the quarter amounting to SEK 15 M (15), for the period to SEK 30 M (30) and for the full-year 2014 to SEK 60 M have been reallocated from EBIT for MECA to EBIT for "Other."
Major marketing and sales efforts have been implemented for the export business to Denmark, which have affected MECA's result negatively with SEK 10 M during the second quarter and with SEK 12 M for the first half year in 2015. A strong sales increase to MECA Car Service workshops was key to MECA's increase in sales for the quarter and the first six months. The sales trend for ProMeister also contributed to higher volumes for the quarter and the first six months. Acquisition-related expenses of SEK 1 M pertaining to Opus Equipment negatively impacted MECA's EBIT for the quarter. The consolidation of Opus Equipment under MECA applies from 1 July 2015. The Group's first MECA+ workshop opened in Södertälje in June. MECA is implementing an investment in the service and repair of motorhomes, which will be launched in September.
The currency effect on net sales against the NOK was negative SEK 3 M during the second quarter and negative SEK 1 M for the half year. The number of workdays was one higher in Sweden but unchanged in Norway compared with the second quarter and first six months for the preceding year. The underlying net sales increased 13 per cent during the second quarter and rose 10 per cent for the six-month period. MECA's EBIT increased to SEK 77 M (73) for the quarter. EBITA and EBIT were negatively impacted by personnel-related non-recurring costs of SEK 9 M in the comparative, year-earlier, six-month period. There was no impact in the comparative period for the second quarter.

The sales trend for ProMeister contributed to higher volumes to other workshops during the second quarter, primarily for Mekonomen Sweden. At Mekonomen Norway, the key growth driver was sales to Mekonomen Service Centre. Implemented quality initiatives in Sweden led to a slightly lower number of affiliated workshops, which negatively impacted sales to the affiliated workshops customer group. During the quarter, sales to consumers increased in both Sweden and Norway, mainly as a result of successful campaigns. Extra marketing initiatives negatively impacted earnings for the quarter, however this was compensated for by the favourable sales trend. As announced earlier this year, actions were taken to strengthen earnings at Mekonomen Nordic with an estimated full-year impact of SEK 15 M, and these have had an impact during the second quarter.
The underlying net sales rose 8 per cent during the second quarter and 6 per cent for the first six months. The currency effect on net sales against the NOK was negative SEK 3 M during the second quarter and negative SEK 1 M for the half year. For the second quarter and the first six months, the number of working days was one day higher in Sweden but unchanged in Norway and Finland compared with the preceding year. In the comparative period for the first six months, EBIT was negatively impacted by non-recurring costs of SEK 1 M. There was no impact in the comparative period for the quarter. Mekonomen Sweden's EBIT margin for the second quarter was 16 per cent (15) and 14 per cent (15) for the half year. EBIT for the quarter amounted to SEK 83 M (70) and to SEK 140 M (132) for the half year. Net sales rose to SEK 499 M (449) for the second quarter and increased to SEK 931 M (864) for the half year. Mekonomen Norway's EBIT margin for the second quarter was 21 per cent (16) and 19 per cent (17) for the half year. EBIT for the quarter amounted to SEK 48 M (34) and SEK 81 M (67) for the half year. Net sales rose to SEK 222 M (205) for the second quarter and increased to SEK 423 M (394) for the half year.

1) Acquisition-related items attributable to Mekonomen AB's direct acquisitions have been reallocated from Segment Sørensen og Balchen to "Other." Comparative figures have been restated. Amortisation of acquired intangible assets for the quarter amounting to SEK 4 M (4), for the period to SEK 9 M (9) and for the full-year 2014 to SEK 18 M have been reallocated from EBIT for Sørensen og Balchen to EBIT for "Other."
Sørensen og Balchen posted a favourable trend for sales to affiliated BilXtra workshops and also reported a favourable trend for sales of accessories for the quarter and the first six months. However, this had a negative impact on the gross margin. Sørensen og Balchen reported a favourable trend for sales to consumers during the first six months. The underlying net sales rose 8 per cent during the second quarter and 9 per cent for the first six months. The currency effect in net sales against the NOK was negative SEK 3 M during the second quarter and negative SEK 1 M for the half year. EBIT and EBITA increased to SEK 35 M (34) for the second quarter.

1) Net sales for each segment are from external customers.
2) The operation in Denmark is presented from 1 January 2015 as a discontinued operation and therefore not included in the MECA segment. Comparative figures have been restated. For further information about discontinued operations, see page 16. EBITA for the second quarter 2014 and the full year 2014 have been positively affected of SEK 11 M due to allocation of costs for IT-systems regarding the discontinued Danish operation. Impairment of intangible fixed assets have had a corresponding negative effect and EBIT was therefore neutral.
3) "Other" comprises the Parent Company Mekonomen AB (publ), M by Mekonomen, the purchasing company in Hong Kong, Meko Service Nordic, as well as Group-wide functions and eliminations. Mekonomen AB's operations mainly comprise Group Management and finance management.
4) Acquisition-related items attributable to Mekonomen AB's direct acquisitions have been reallocated from Segment Sørensen og Balchen to "Other." Comparative figures have been restated. Current acquisition-related items pertain to amortisation of acquired intangible assets pertaining to the acquisitions of MECA and Sørensen og Balchen, which were reversed to EBIT for these segments and reported instead in EBIT for "Other." Group EBIT is unchanged.
5) Investments do not include company and business combinations.

2) "Other" comprises Mekonomen AB, M by Mekonomen, the purchasing company in Hong Kong, Meko Service Nordic, Mekonomen Group Inköp AB (from June 2015) as well as Group-wide functions and eliminations.
A decision on comprehensive structural changes and repositioning of the Group's Danish operations was taken in December 2014. All of the stores, which are also local warehouses and the Danish head office are being closed. The franchise workshops are being retained and these now receive their deliveries of spare parts directly from the central warehouse in Sweden, meaning efficient logistics without intermediaries in the distribution chain.
During March 2015, the remaining two stores in Denmark were discontinued and from the first quarter of 2015, the Danish store operation is presented according to the rules for discontinued operations in IFRS 5. All comparative periods have been restated. The Danish store operation was previously included in the MECA segment.
In the consolidated income statement, the discontinued store operations are recognised as an item under "Discontinued operations." This means that the discontinued operation has been excluded from all income statement items in the consolidated income statement and that only net earnings from the discontinued operation have been stated on the line "Earnings from discontinued operations." Cash flow from discontinued operations is included in the consolidated cash-flow statement and is recognised separately below. The consolidated balance sheet has not been restated.
As at 30 June 2015, the accumulated translation reserve pertaining to Denmark was a negative SEK 16 M. The translation reserve pertaining to Denmark will be reclassified in shareholders' equity via the income statement in the current amount at the time when the Danish company is liquidated.
