Strong start to the year

OEM got off to a strong start in 2015 and the trend of the previous quarter continues. Record sales and earnings were reported in the first quarter. There are several factors behind this strong performance. We are seeing industrial activity in some of our markets and it is generally evolving in a positive direction. This is particularly the case in Sweden. OEM is continuing to gain share in markets where the industry has a slightly lower growth trend. The stronger euro and dollar are also having a favourable impact on most of our operations.

Incoming orders increased in the first quarter by 20% to SEK 574 million and net sales by 21% to SEK 555 million. Currency effects accounted for 7% and acquisitions for 9% of the increase in net sales, resulting in 5% organic growth. Operating profit (EBITA) increased by 31% to SEK 61 million (47). The EBITA margin was 11% (10%).

Growth in the regions

Growth has continued at a robust pace in the Finland/Baltic states region in the first quarter, with 19% organic growth. However, the effects of the increased sales are not reflected in our earnings results. This is partly due to lower margins and partly to the fact that we have chosen to continue to invest in our operations, unlike many of our competitors. Organic growth in Sweden, our largest region, was 4%, which is in line or slightly better than our assessed view of the market growth. At the same time, profit has increased by 37% and most of our operations are benefiting from currency fluctuations. The picture is divided in our third region. Our mature markets, Denmark and the United Kingdom, are experiencing slightly negative growth or no growth at all. This is being offset by a stronger trend in Norway and Central Eastern Europe. Organic growth was 2% in the region as a whole.

Major acquisition completed

At the beginning of the year, we acquired AB Ernst Hj Rydahl Bromsbandfabrik. The company is one of Scandinavia's leading suppliers of brake and friction components and opens a whole new market segment for OEM. Upon acquisition, Rydahls was generating annual sales of approximately SEK 120 million, which satisfies our ambition to annually acquire businesses with an aggregate turnover of at least SEK 100 million. Nevertheless, we still intend to continue assessing interesting potential acquisitions in the coming quarters.

Positive outlook continues

As we moved into 2015, we closed the door on a year of strong growth in all our regions and the most profitable year in OEM's history. We can see that this positive trend is continuing as we sum up the first quarter of 2015. Our model provides security and reliability with a combination of large and small entities that brings an overall stability to our business. We have skilled and committed employees with good business acumen who create value for our customers and suppliers.

Demand has generally been slow for Finnish industries. Yet despite this, net sales rose 24% to SEK 85 million (68) in the first quarter. The movement in exchange rates had a beneficial 6% effect on net sales. This means that organic growth was 18%.

Incoming orders were also strong and increased by 22% to SEK 86 million (71).

Incoming orders were 2% higher than net sales in the first quarter of 2015, which is a positive sign. EBITA rose 24% to SEK 5.9 million (4.7), due primarily to increased net sales. The EBITA margin has not risen despite the increase in net sales. This is due to lower margins and ongoing market investments.

Litigation

At the beginning of April 2014, Lund District Court delivered judgement on a lawsuit in which the subsidiary Internordic Bearings AB (IBS) has been involved, regarding mutual creditor claims with a client and the client's insurance company for a breach of contract claim.

The judgement means that IBS has lost the case against the client. However, the client's insurance company has not been successful in its action against IBS, and the suit has been dismissed by the Court.

The judgement means that IBS must pay the client a net amount of SEK 4.9 million, including litigation costs, interest and net of the insurance payments that IBS receives via its own insurance company. The amount is included in the company's and the Group's income statement for the first quarter of 2014.
