The trend towards an increased earnings capability is continuing thanks to the savings programmes introduced. The integration of Dantherm Filtration has entered an intensive phase and is proceeding according to plan." Sven Kristensson, CEO.

Development per business area

Europe

Scandinavia

Norway and Sweden are showing signs of recovery compared with previous quarters. Nederman holds a strong market position in both countries. In Sweden it is mainly the vehicle workshop segment that shows greater demand for complete systems for a safe and environmentally customised working environment. Also the signs from more traditional segments like welding and machine processing are somewhat improved.

An investment in Norway for customised solutions for the crucial Offshore and Shipping industries is showing positive results.

Thanks to state funded support in Denmark more interest is now being shown by the public sector for investing in improved working environments.

United Kingdom

There are signs of a slow recovery in the UK. This has among others led to a number of advanced projects in the Aerospace industry and in the more traditional machine processing segment. An order was received during the period worth about SEK 6.8 million for a complete system for automatic handling and recycling of metal filings.

Other European countries

In Eastern Europe it is mainly in Poland we have seen stabilisation and a certain degree of recovery. Among other things, major orders have been received for qualified solutions for air filtration from the metalworking industry.

The markets in Other European countries show a mixed performance. Southern and Eastern Europe is very weak.

Incoming orders over the quarter amounted to SEK 196.0m, which is an increase of 1.5 per cent compared to the same quarter last year. Incoming orders fell by 11.8 per cent over the first half of the year compared with the first half of 2009.

Net sales over the quarter amounted to SEK 180.1m, which is a drop of 1.8 per cent compared to the same quarter last year. Net sales fell by 12.1 per cent compared to the first half of 2009.

International

Nederman is continuing to grow and develop according to plan in China. Due to the size of the country the establishment of a qualified, focused retail network is a high priority. The aim over the year is to tie ourselves to a further 30 or so new distributors. These will mainly focus on the welding industry, but also on the automotive industry. Most major European automotive manufacturers are planning extensive expansion of their service workshops in China in the next few years. Nederman has signed agreements with a number of these automotive manufacturers for customised equipment for the new workshops.

Sales are continuing to develop positively in Brazil. Sales over the past quarter to the automotive industry and other manufacturing industries were good.

With effect from the second quarter Australia reported a positive trend in our focused customer areas. A well-established retail network has also meant that product sales increased somewhat.

North America

A degree of stabilisation took place in the US over the quarter. Investments in traditional manufacturing industries remain at a modest level.

The establishment of a specialised retail network in the US that we started at the end of 2009 is continuing.

We are seeing signs of a certain recovery in some of the most industrialised regions of Canada compared to 2009, among others in the welding industry.

Net sales over the quarter amounted to SEK 73.5m, which is an increase of 1.1 per cent compared to the same quarter last year. Invoicing fell by 6.1 per cent over the first half of the year compared to the first half of 2009.

Dantherm Filtration

Dantherm Filtration is reported as a separate business segment from 30 April 2010.

On 26 March 2010, Nederman announced in a press release the acquisition of Dantherm Filtration, a business area of Dantherm AS, Denmark.

Dantherm Filtration's sales in 2009 amounted to around SEK 980 m. The company is one of the world's largest producers of large industrial filters, and has around 900 employees. The acquired business will be integrated gradually and the integration should be completed by the end of 2011.

The acquired business is consolidated in the Nederman Group from the takeover date of 30 April 2010.

Scandinavia

There are clear signs in Denmark and Sweden of a certain degree of recovery starting in terms of product and system sales. In Sweden this is mainly being seen in the wood and paper segment.

The service concept is relatively well established in both countries and showed positive growth.

There is a degree of increased activity in Finland, mainly in product sales and the aftermarket.

Other European countries

There is mixed development in other European countries. We are seeing greater activity in the UK regarding investments in large systems in wood processing. Product sales have shown some signs of improvement over the past two months.

Foundries in Poland are continuing to place positive orders. The country's wood and wood processing industry are showing signs of stabilising.

The unit in Germany, which produces major specialised filter systems, has noticed a degree of increased demand from the BRIC countries, Brazil, India and China. There is still however a low level of investments in major systems in Germany. The same applies to other European countries.

South East Asia

Dantherm Filtration is active in Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia and Indonesia as well as in China. With the exception of China we are seeing slight growth, but from a low level. The interest in a good environment is however growing and major investments have been made by many western companies planning to establish in Indonesia, for example. The rate of major investments in advanced filter systems in China is currently relatively low. The domestic companies are often dependent on state finance and there is major competition from local manufacturers.

North America

We are seeing increased interest for investing in more complex filter systems for industrial air filtration. Sales of pipes for filter systems have increased significantly, indicating that the industry has started adapting and upgrading its systems to increased production.

Increased activity in the area of recycling/incineration has resulted in interesting orders in recent months.

Acquisition

As previously reported, the acquisition of Dantherm Filtration was completed on 30 April 2010. The integration of Dantherm Filtration has entered an intensive phase and work is progressing according to plan. The company estimates that the integration will provide annual synergy effects of around SEK 80m. The full effects are expected from the end of 2012. As previously reported, we estimate that restructuring costs will not exceed SEK 100m and are expected to be incurred in 2010 and 2011. The majority of these restructuring costs will affect the cash flow.

The surplus value related to the acquisition is estimated at SEK 85m. The difference with the previously announced SEK 60 m is mainly attributable to adjusting to Nederman's accounting principles. A more in-depth analysis will be carried out in the third quarter, 2010 to decide the allocation between goodwill and other intangible assets.

Outlook

In the second quarter the company saw that the increased market activities could be turned into incoming orders to a greater extent than previously and as previously indicated this trend is strongest in developing countries. This means that the company remains steadfast in its estimation of a certain recovery in the latter part of 2010.
