Statement from President and CEO Eva Nygren:
"Rejlers is continuing to develop positively. Growth during the first three quarters amounted to 15 per cent, which is in line with the target for 2015. Two thirds of the growth has been organic. Demand for our services in Finland and Norway has developed particularly strongly during the quarter.
The profit has been subject to non-recurring costs for the conference held in August, which represented an important initiative relating to employee development for further consolidation and growth. We have also incurred nonrecurring costs relating to individual projects during the period. Overall, quarterly profit was impacted by nonrecurring costs of SEK 16 million.
The market is difficult to judge, but the prospects remain good within Energy and Infrastructure in the Nordic region. We have a strong position in this region, with increased order levels and new business opportunities. There is some concern over a possible weakening within Industry and Construction & Property, but this has been offset to some extent by an increase in the demand for services relating to energy efficiency and security solutions.
Adjusted for non-recurring costs quarterly profit is in line with last year. We will further develop this platform for continued growth based around Rejlers' strong corporate culture. Increased profitability, brand development and higher visibility are presenting us with an opportunity to attract new customers and employees."

July – September 2012
Revenue for the third quarter totalled SEK 279.3 million (249.9), an increase of 12 per cent compared with the same quarter last year. The operating profit was SEK 5.8 million (22.0). The operating margin amounted to 2.1 per cent (8.8). The number of working days during the quarter was 65 (66). The debiting ratio was 77 per cent (75).
Quarterly profit was affected by non-recurring costs for the quarter of SEK16 million and by two fewer working days, one day due to the calendar effect and one day because of the employee conference in connection with Rejlers' 70th anniversary.
January – September 2012
The revenue for the period totalled SEK 944.1 million (823.3), an increase of 15 per cent compared with the same period last year. The operating profit was SEK 55.4 million (73.9). The operating margin amounted to 5.9 per cent (9.0). The number of working days during the period was 186 (187). The debiting ratio was 76 per cent (76). The profit after net financial items was SEK 52.7 million (70.9) and the profit after tax was SEK 40.4 million (50.7). Earnings per share were SEK 3.57 (4.48).

The revenue in Finland has increased by 26 per cent measured in SEK and 31 per cent measured in EUR compared with the previous year. This increase is mainly attributable to the operations acquired from Rambøll.

During the quarter, the organisation has been strengthened through key recruitments of new employees in order to adapt to Rejlers' continued expansion and the growth target of 2015x3, i.e. that in 2015, we will have at least 2015 employees and revenue of at least SEK 2015 million.
The Parent Company
The Parent Company's net revenue for the period amounted to SEK 11.5 million (12.6), with the profit after tax amounting to SEK -1.5 million (8.5). The Parent Company's personnel costs include SEK 10 million for the employee conference in connection with Rejlers' 70th anniversary celebrations.
Significant events during the third quarter and after the end of the period
In accordance with the decision taken at Rejlers' Annual General Meeting 2012, three representatives of the company's largest shareholders have been appointed to a Nominations Committee. The task of the Nominations Committee is to develop proposals for the Board, for submission to the Annual General Meeting 2013 for adoption. Accordingly, the following have been asked and have accepted to be part of the Nominations Committee: Kent Hägglund representing Peter Rejler, Martina Rejler representing Jan Rejler and Johan Lannebo representing Lannebo Fonder AB.
Segment Rejlers Sweden (including Norway and Estonia)
Operations in the Sweden operating segment are run by the Group companies Rejlers Ingenjörer AB, Rejlers Energitjänster AB, ComIT Rejlers AB and Rejlers Drift och Underhåll AB, as well as the Estonian company Rejlers OÜ and the Norwegian company Rejlers AS. Rejlers Sweden provides consultancy services in the fields of electrical engineering, energy, mechanical engineering, automation, electronics, IT and telecommunications, primarily to four customer groups: Infrastructure, Industry, Energy, and Construction and property. Rejlers also provides energy metering services to utility companies, electricity trading companies, and property companies. At the end of the period, the Rejlers Sweden segment had 1,035 (909) employees.
The market
The weak economy is now affecting parts of the Swedish industry and construction sector. Energy and Infrastructure have been less affected by the economic climate, which has led to a more stable demand for Rejlers' consultancy services in these customer groups.
The market for Rejlers' industrial consultants is stable, despite a decline in demand in the export industry. An increasing number of assignments come from the mining, defence and pharmaceutical industries. There is strong demand for our expertise within automation and commissioning. Order levels for environmental and energy surveys for the Industry and Property Sector are increasing.
Energy assignments continue to increase in line with growing demand for energy-efficient and reliable solutions. We have received new assignments from Fortum and Vattenfall, including project management, and we have received new inspection assignments within wind power from a number of clients, including Eolus Vind. Rejlers has ongoing assignments for the nuclear power industry, for which our customers are OKG, Forsmark and Ringhals. The trend in earnings for Rejlers Energitjänster is good, and we are growing through new customers and new markets.
The government is investing heavily in railway maintenance, and the infrastructure bill proposes greater resources for the operation and maintenance of existing systems. Rejlers has signed a framework agreement concerning traffic management systems for signalling technology within the railway sector. Rejlers has produced an IT platform for the Swedish Transport Administration's process system within road traffic management.
The construction market has been affected by economic developments in Europe, which is reflected in a drop in order levels. During the period, Rejlers produced a standard for National Property Board Sweden concerning the national monitoring of its properties.
Rejlers AS is growing within telecommunications and infrastructure in Norway, and currently has framework agreements with Motorola, NetCom, Com4 and the Norwegian National Rail Administration.
Examples of assignments during the third quarter and after the end of period
- E.ON Sweden and Rejlers have signed a new framework agreement concerning technical consultancy services for Energy and Infrastructure. The agreement covers services for nuclear, wind and hydroelectric power, in addition to thermal power, electricity supply networks and telecommunications.
- Alfa-Laval in Tumba is continuing to entrust Rejlers to provide project management and automation services for its facilities around the world.
- Fortum will replace the existing power lines with cables in the Royal National City Park in Djurgården, Stockholm. Rejlers' environmental consultants have been commissioned to carry out the preliminary planning of the new cables, and are responsible for the concession process covering the accessibility analysis and consultation with the authorities, those particularly affected and the general public, in addition to the preparation of an environmental impact assessment (EIA).
Rejlers has been awarded further assignments for Facebook concerning the provision of property monitoring services for Facebook's server hall in Luleå. The system will cover the monitoring of all the server hall's functions, e.g. ventilation and switchgear.
Segment Rejlers Finland (including Russia)U
Operations in the Finland operating segment are run by the Group companies Rejlers Finland Oy, Rejlers Oy, Elmil Oy, Rejlers Projektit Oy, Insinööritoimisto Lausamo Oy and OOO Lausamo Project. Rejlers has operations in 14 locations in Finland as well as in Moscow and St Petersburg. Rejlers Finland provides consultancy services in the fields of electrical engineering, automation, mechanical engineering, heating, ventilation and sanitation, energy, environmental technology and architecture, as well as turnkey deliveries mainly to major industrial customers, but also to Rejlers' other customer groups: Infrastructure, Construction and property, and Energy. The number of employees at the end of the period was 434 (349).
The market
The technical consultancy sector in Finland is growing, despite uncertainty in the European economy. Industry investments are expected to experience slow growth, while the level of investment in energy, construction and infrastructure projects remains high.
Rejlers has experienced improved order levels for the Industry customer group, but demand is weak in the paper industry. New investments are expected in other industry segments. Rejlers has received new assignments for Outotec, Cargotec, Alstrom and STX Oy.
Demand for our energy assignments is increasing, particularly for power generation, electricity distribution and energy efficiency. The market for wind power and nuclear power production in Finland is growing. We have received new nuclear power assignments for the customer TVO during the period.
New investments and the maintenance of railways are also a priority area in Finland. Rejlers has a framework agreement with the Finnish Transport Agency. New assignments have been received in connection with the new underground to be constructed in the Helsinki area, which will be ready in 2015.
The Construction and Property market is positive. In addition to Moscow in Russia, we now also have operations in St. Petersburg. We are acting as project manager for several major construction projects, where our assignments cover everything from project planning and architecture to inspection activities. In Russia, Rejlers is carrying out a turnkey project planning assignment for the new-build TEKNOS industrial facility in St. Petersburg.
Examples of assignments in the third quarter and after the end of the period
- Rejlers will receive additional project planning assignments when the NCC builds three schools in Esbo. These assignments include the project planning of electrical systems, in addition to telecommunications and security systems. The buildings have a total area of 30,000 m² and are expected to be complete by the end of 2014.
- Rejlers is project planning electric power and certain parts of the telecommunications and security systems as REXAM, a global packaging company, constructs a new 22,000 m² plant in Mäntsälä.
- Rejlers has signed a collaboration agreement with Satavakka. The agreement concerns the metering of electricity consumption (AMR), a database for metering and balance settlement for around 45,000 end users.

Annual General Meeting 2013

Significant risks and uncertainties
There is a certain degree of risk associated with all enterprises. Rejlers' primary business risks consist of reduced demand for consultancy services, difficulties in recruitment and retention of competent personnel, loss of personnel in connection with acquisitions, risks associated with fixed-price assignments and credit risks.
Rejlers' strategy is to have customers in various industries and to work actively to transfer resources following changes in demand, in order to even out fluctuations in demand. Employees are a key asset and Rejlers therefore places significant emphasis on good workplaces, ongoing training and health in order to retain existing staff and as a means of achieving our growth targets. Acquisitions create added value for both the purchasing and acquired companies, which helps limit the risk of losing employees. Rejlers has, for the most part, financially strong customers and the credit risk is considered to be low. The majority of sales and borrowing takes place in local currency, which ultimately results in a very low currency risk. Fixed-price assignments comprise a small part of revenue, but nonetheless constitute a risk. Rejlers therefore has a system for monitoring and following up such assignments in order to minimise the risk of impairments.
The Parent Company pursues, to a minor extent, activities in which the risks are mainly limited to currency and liquidity risks.

Accounting policies
This interim report has been prepared for the Group in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and RFR1, Supplementary accounting rules for Groups. The same accounting principles have been applied as in the most recent Annual Accounts for both the Group and the Parent Company. For detailed information in respect of accounting policies, please refer to the Annual Report for 2011. A number of modifications to standards and IFRIC interpretations came into force in 2012. None of these has had a significant impact on the Group's accounts and reporting.
The Parent Company's reporting has been prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act (ÅRL) and RFR 2, Accounting for legal entities.
Preparing the financial reports in accordance with IFRS requires the company's management to make assessments and estimates, as well as assumptions, which affect the application of the accounting policies and the reported amounts for assets, liabilities, income and costs. The actual outcome may deviate from these estimates and assessments. Estimates and assumptions are regularly reviewed. Changes in estimates are accounted for in the period in which the change is made if the change has only affected that period, or in the period in which the change was made and future periods where the change affects both the current period and future periods.

Auditor's report on review of Interim Financial Information in summary for Rejlerkoncernen AB (publ) prepared in accordance with IAS 34 and Chapter 9 of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act.
Introduction
We have conducted a review of the interim report for Rejlerkoncernen AB (publ) for the period January to September 2012. The Board of Directors and the President are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to provide an opinion on the interim financial information based on our review.
Aim and scope of the review
We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review has a different aim and is considerably less far-reaching in terms of scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the ISA and other generally accepted good auditing practices. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain a level of assurance that would make us aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Therefore, the qualified opinion expressed based on a review does not give the same level of assurance as a qualified opinion expressed based on an audit.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim financial information has not, in all essentials, been prepared for the Group in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and for the Parent Company in accordance the Swedish Annual Accounts Act.
