Net sales
Net sales for the third quarter amounted to SEK 275.0 million (274.2) and for the period January-September, to SEK 867.8 million (964.8). Net sales increased in local currencies by 3.1 per cent in the third quarter and decreased by 15.5 per cent in the period January-September. There is growth in the three segments; Sweden, Germany and Global Services, while the other two segments report falling sales.
Profi t
Operating profi t for the third quarter amounted to SEK –7.8 million (–4.4) and for the period January-September to SEK –68.1 million (20.7). The Group's loss is attributable to the USA and the UK. The operating margin in the other segments was 8.9 per cent (10.2) in the third quarter and 8.0 per cent (8.4) in January-September. Foreign exchange effects had a negative impact of SEK –1.1 million (1.0) on the operating profi t for the third quarter and of SEK –9.9 million (1.0) for the period January-September.
Net fi nancial income deteriorated by SEK 6.4 million due to increased net interest-bearing debt and increased borrowing costs.
Sweden
Net sales in the third quarter were slightly lower than the previous year and amounted to SEK 34.5 million (38.4). In January-Sep tember sales increased by 5.5 per cent to SEK 115.8 million (109.8). Operating profi t in the third quarter fell to SEK 3.5 million (11.5) and in January-September to SEK 9.1 million (22.0). The operating margin for January-September fell to 7.9 per cent (20.0).
The deterioration in earnings is due to a poorer product mix and an unplanned six-day production stoppage at the melting plant and longer throughput times for the large components treated in 2009. New equipment has been brought into operation and the production bottlenecks are being successively eliminated. The market and order situation continue to be good. During the quarter Studsvik signed its fi rst order for treatment of low-level waste from Italy. The order is for 270 tonnes of organic waste from the nuclear power facility in Caorso.
United Kingdom
Net sales in the third quarter fell to SEK 18.4 million (34.2) and amounted to SEK 65.8 million (113.9) in January-September. The operating profi t for the third quarter was SEK –7.3 million (0.6) and for January-September SEK –40.8 million (2.0).
Capacity utilization in the consulting operations increased after two weak quarters, but did not compensate for continued low capacity utilization in the decommissioning operations. Decommissioning projects have been focused on smaller and clearly defi ned contracts since the end of the fi rst half-year. The decommissioning market contracted during the year as a consequence of the tight fi nancial situation in the British economy. Extensive marketing initiatives are being carried out, but the order book was at a low level at the end of the third quarter.
The metallic recycling facility in Workington became operational in September, when the fi rst volumes of commercial material were also processed.
Germany
Net sales increased in the third quarter to SEK 126.8 million (98.1). Net sales for the period January-September amounted to SEK 337.0 million (277.5), which corresponds to an increase of 7.6 per cent in local currency. The operating profi t for the third quarter was SEK 9.6 million (3.1) and for January-September SEK 20.2 million (14.4). The operating margin continued to improve during the quarter, to 7.6 per cent (3.1).
The market and order situation in the German operations is good. Profi tability improved in both engineering and services and decommissioning. Annual maintenance work at power-producing reactors continued at a normal rate during the third quarter. Ongoing decommissioning projects in Germany and Belgium went according to plan and at a good level of profi tability.
USA
Net sales for the third quarter amounted to SEK 42.2 million (47.4) and for the period January-September, to SEK 149.6 million (272.0). The operating loss for the third quarter amounted to SEK –12.8 million (–17.3) and for the period January-September, to SEK –54.3 million (–5.2).
Another two contracts were signed for the Erwin operations. Contracts have now been signed covering 51 of the USA's 103 reactors. The volumes delivered to the facility were, however, low and some deliveries were postponed. Consequently the Erwin operations reported a continued loss. The effi ciency improvements made in Memphis have resulted in more robust operations that are profi table at considerably lower volumes than before. The third quarter's infl ow of material for processing was, however, low, resulting in a minor loss in the quarter. The low waste volumes, both in Erwin and Memphis, are mainly a consequence of the economic conditions.
In the USA a small consulting business has been started, focusing on Studsvik's patented THOR technology. The business is profi table and the customer base consists of both American and international customers. The interest in evaluating THOR technology for different types of waste is great.
THOR Treatment Technologies (TTT) signed an order in October for a waste treatment facility at the US Department of Energy's facilities at Savannah River. The order value is USD 55 million. The work will start in 2010 and is expected to continue for three years. TTT is a joint venture with the American URS Corporation. Studsvik has a 50 per cent share in TTT.
Global Services
Net sales rose in the third quarter to SEK 51.2 million (41.6). Net sales in January-September were SEK 177.1 million (133.6), which corresponds to an increase of 16.8 per cent in local currencies. Operating profi t for the third quarter increased to SEK 5.8 million (3.6) and to SEK 21.3 million (7.6) for the period January-September. Profi tability improved during the year and the operating margin for January-September was 12.0 per cent (5.7).
In materials technology demand continued to be strong for reactor fuel and materials testing associated with the ageing, overhaul and modernization of nuclear power plants around the world. Modernization, modifi cation and new production also create heavy demand for consultants with advanced nuclear engineering skills, which resulted in stronger earnings for the consulting operations. ALARA Engineering, which was acquired in late 2008, performed well. Software for fuel optimization reported a profi t that was by and large on the same level as the previous year.
After the close of the reporting period Studsvik agreed to sell its personal dosimetry operations to the American company Landauer. The sale means a capital gain of SEK 6.5 million, which will be reported in the fourth quarter.
Investments
The Group's investments in the third quarter were SEK 23.8 million (20.2) and for the period January-September, to SEK 74.6 million (60.3). Investments in the new treatment facility in the United Kingdom of SEK 8.3 million are included in the third quarter and of SEK 51.8 million in January-September.
Cash fl ow
Cash fl ow from operating activities before working capital changes in the third quarter was SEK –6.0 million (13.7) and SEK 2.9 million (55.6) for the period January-September.
Working capital fell in the third quarter by SEK 41.0 million (–14.4) and in the period January-September by SEK 0.2 million (–70.5).
Cash fl ow from operating activities after investments was SEK 10.9 million (–22.4) in the third quarter and SEK –86.4 million (–71.1) for the period January-September.
Financial position and liquidity
Cash and cash equivalents, including current investments, amounted to SEK 53.0 million (124.3) at the close of the quarter.
Equity amounted to SEK 519.1 million (577.6) and the equityassets ratio was 37.9 per cent (42.3).
Interest-bearing liabilities amounted to SEK 357.1 million (361.7). The Group's total borrowing is conducted entirely in foreign currencies through investments and business acquisitions in the USA, Germany and the UK. An exchange rate effect arises on translation of Swedish kronor, which in the third quarter reduced liabilities by SEK 34.2 million.
Net interest-bearing debt increased to SEK 304.1 million (237.4).
Personnel
The average number of employees was 1,163 (1,115).
Parent company
Parent company operations comprise the coordination of tasks for the Group, and assets mainly consist of shares in subsidiaries. The parent company's net sales in the third quarter were SEK 2.9 million (2.8) and for the period January-September, to SEK 8.4 million (8.1). The operating loss for the third quarter amounted to SEK –6.6 million (–6.0) and for the period January-September, to SEK –23.6 million (–20.1). Profi t after fi nancial items in the third quarter was SEK –5.0 million (–5.8) and for the period January-September, to SEK 7.2 million (–19.5).
The parent company's investments amounted to SEK 0 million (0.1). Cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 22.1 million (73.0) and interest-bearing liabilities to SEK 205.4 million (206.2).
Nomination committee
Before the 2010 Annual General Meeting Studsvik's nomination committee is composed as follows:
Jan Barchan, Briban Invest AB Peter Rudman, Nordea Funds Bill Tunbrandt, representative of the Karinen family Anders Ullberg, Chairman of the Board of Studsvik
Risks and uncertainties
Studsvik operates in an international, competitive market and i thereby exposed to both business and fi nancial risks and uncertainties.
The business uncertainties include the fact that Studsvik and Studsvik's customers handle radioactive material and waste, which requires legal or regulatory licensing. Licensing is required for production facilities, but also for individual activities, such as transport and transfer of material. This means that the operations of Studsvik and Studsvik's customers are exposed to delays in these licensing processes, which may result in shifts in delivery and production plans.
The business risks also include the fact that in connection with large decommissioning projects and other service contracts Studsvik accepts fi xed price contracts. These projects require effective risk management and project management. Studsvik also supplies services with a high technical content to qualifi ed customers. As a supplier, Studsvik is responsible for timely delivery, functionality and other qualities of services ordered. If Studsvik's project management or risk management is defi cient, or if a service is delivered late or does not fulfi ll requirements that a customer can rightfully impose, Studsvik risks loss of income, for example as a consequence of costs incurred for redress through replacement or damages.
Issues concerning nuclear technology may be subject to various expressions of opinion and debate. In such a context it cannot be ruled out that opinion may emerge on matters that directly or indirectly restrict Studsvik's scope of business action. Studsvik works consistently to maintain a high level of public confi dence. Its approach to the world around is characterized by dialogue and the principle of the greatest possible transparency.
Financial risks and uncertainties mainly include fl uctuations in exchange rates and interest rates, and the company's ability to uphold key ratios (covenants) that regulate borrowing. The fi nancial risks also include counterparty risk, i.e. that the Group can be exposed to losses due to counterparty insolvency.
The responsibility for assessing risk lies with the respective subsidiary, but is examined and followed up at Group level. An overall analysis of the Group's risks and how they are dealt with is given in the Annual Report for 2008, which is also available on the company's website.
Apart from these risks, no further signifi cant risks are estimated to have arisen.
Outlook
Modernization and increasing output of nuclear power plants is taking place in several of the countries where Studsvik operates. Decommissioning of nuclear facilities is expected to continue at an unchanged rate. Demand for the services of the type Studsvik offers, including waste treatment, materials testing and consulting services, is strong.
Sweden, Germany and Global Services have a good volume of orders for the fourth quarter of 2009. The United Kingdom is nego tiating a contract for treatment of metallic material in the fourth quarter at the Workington facility. In the USA the contracted customer base of the Erwin facility provides the foundation for long-term profi tability. Studsvik estimates that the facility will be able to achieve satisfactory capacity utilization in the fourth quarter.
In view of this a positive operating profi t and cash fl ow are expected for the Group in the fourth quarter, which taken together will give a positive operating profi t and cash fl ow in the second half of the year. This is in line with the assessment made in the halfyearly report.

This interim report was prepared in accordance with IAS 34, IAS 1 and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board recommendation RFR 2.1.

Review report
We have performed a review of the interim report for Studsvik AB (publ) for the period January 1 to September 30, 2009. The Board of Directors and the President are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim fi nancial report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements 2410 "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for fi nancial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review has a different focus and is substantially more limited in scope than an audit that is conducted in accordance with Standards on Auditing in Sweden (RS) and other generally accepted 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 signifi cant matters that might be identifi ed in an audit. Therefore, the conclusion that is expressed on the basis of a review does not give the same level of assurance as a conclusion based on an audit.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim report does not, in all material respects, accord with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act and, for the parent company, with the Annual Accounts Act.
