Sales

Sales in the second quarter amounted to SEK 319.2 million (330.3), an increase of 2.3 per cent in local currencies. Sales in local currencies increased in Sweden and the United Kingdom, while they decreased in Global Services, the USA and Germany. Sales in January–June amounted to SEK 616.9 million (653.0).

Profi t

The operating result for the second quarter increased to SEK 7.2 million (–3.0) and for January–June to SEK 3.3 million (–12.7). The operating result improved in Sweden, the United Kingdom and the USA but deteriorated in Germany and Global Services. The second quarter result includes compensation of SEK 11.2 million received for an annulled agreement.

The operating margin for the second quarter was 2.3 (–0.9) per cent and 0.5 (–1.9) per cent for the period January–June. Net fi nancial income for the second quarter was SEK –9.5 million (–3.2) and SEK –14.4 million (–6.2) for January–June. The deterioration in net fi nancial income is mainly an effect of the bond loan of SEK 200 million issued in the fi rst quarter.

The Group's tax expense for the second quarter was SEK 1.2 million(11.8) and SEK 3.7 million (13.5) for January–June. The loss for the period after tax for the second quarter was SEK –3.5 million (–18.0) and SEK –14.8 million (–32.4) for January–June.

Sweden

Sales in the second quarter amounted to SEK 58.7 million (51.9) and in January–June to SEK 101.4 million (92.8). The operating profi t in the second quarter increased to SEK 14.9 million (7.5) and in January–June to SEK 20.2 million (9.9). The profi t includes compensation for a cancelled contract with Bruce Power of SEK 11.2 million. The operating margin for January–June was 19.9 (10.7) per cent.

The capacity of the incineration facility has been increased by 10 per cent and ongoing measures in the metal treatment operations will eliminate a number of bottlenecks during the year, thus increasing capacity.

During the quarter Studsvik and Bruce Power jointly decided to cancel the contract for recycling of 32 steam generators from the Bruce Power site signed May 6, 2009. A special arrangement licencewas issued by the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission but it expired in 2012. Since the sound science behind the plan has been proven, Bruce Power will consider various recycling options, including re-applying for a transport licence at an appropriate time. Studsvik and Bruce Power will continue to have an open dialogue regarding the potential steam generator recycling which is recognized internationally as an environmental best practice. The parties have agreed that the pre-payments received by Studsvik since the contract was signed will accrue to Studsvik.

The agreement with Bruce Power reduced the order book by SEK 216 million. However, all in all, the order book is sound, which allows high capacity utilization in 2013.

United Kingdom

Sales in the second quarter amounted to SEK 72.7 million (63.9) and in January–June to SEK 153.6 million (120.6). The operating profi t for the second quarter increased to SEK 10.5 million (4.4) and for January–June to SEK 15.1 million (7.1). The operating margin for January–June amounted to 9.8 (5.9) per cent.

The positive trend in the United Kingdom continued, with increasedsales in all operational areas and improved results compared with the previous year. After a somewhat weak start to the year, deliveriesof material to the metal recycling facility increased in the second quarter. Consulting operations were well utilized. UK Nuclear Waste Management, in which Studsvik has a 15 per cent stake, improved its performance. Studsvik's profi t share increased to SEK 3.4 million in the second quarter and to SEK 4.5 million in the period January–June.

The order book is sound, which allows high capacity utilization for 2013.

Germany

Sales in the second quarter amounted to SEK 77.7 million (93.3) and in January–June to SEK 138.4 million (170.0). The operating resultfor the second quarter amounted to SEK –0.9 million (–0.9) and for January–June to SEK –1.8 million (–3.8). The operating marginfor January–June was –1.3 (–2.3) per cent.

During the quarter maintenance work was in progress in the Germannuclear power industry, which gave good capacity utilization. The organization has gradually adapted to the changed conditions in Germany, which have meant a substantially reduced service and maintenance market. Apart from power producers, the segment's customers include research and development facilities that are usually government fi nanced. During the quarter the largest customer in this market segment announced that their funding had been considerably reduced, and consequently purchases from subcontractors would be reduced. The decision had a negative impact on Studsvik's sales already in the second quarter and is the main reason for the negative sales trend in relation to the previous year. Negotiations on the future volume of business are in progress and will lead to further adjustment in the organization in 2013.

The order book is sound and resources well-utilized as regards the power industry's maintenance work, as well as decommissioning projects in Belgium and elsewhere.

USA

Sales in the second quarter amounted to SEK 54.1 million (58.5) and in January–June to SEK 102.0 million (130.2). The operating result for the second quarter improved to SEK –7.8 million (–15.8) and for January–June to SEK –21.4 million (–27.3). The operating margin for January–June amounted to –21.0 (–21.0) per cent.

Sales in local currencies were by and large at the same level as previous year, but earnings improved. The reduced loss is mainly an effect of a better product mix, but also to some extent an effect of the action program initiated in the fi rst quarter aimed at restoring profi tability. Sales volumes in waste operations continued to be low. Capacity utilization in the consulting operations improved but has not stabilized at a desirable level.

The order book is short-term in all operational areas.

Global Services

Sales in the second quarter amounted to SEK 67.4 million (77.0) and were in January–June SEK 131.5 million (148.1). Operating profi t for the second quarter amounted to SEK –2.1 million (7.5) and SEK 4.2 million (12.2) for January–June. The operating margin was 3.2 (8.3) per cent for January–June.

Sales decreased compared with the previous year in software opera tions. The decrease is primarily related to variations in new sales, which have a direct impact on earnings, as the cost structure is by and large fi xed. Sales in materials technology were at the pre vious year's level, but profi tability deteriorated due to low capacityutilization in the segment's most qualifi ed laboratory. The dip in capacity utilization, which is temporary, is due to deliveries planned for the beginning of the year being postponed by customers. Consult ing operations developed in parity with the previous year, with a good infl ow of orders, satisfactory capacity utilization and profi tability.

The order book is sound, though somewhat lower than the previous year. Planned deliveries and the existing order book make improvedcapacity utilization possible in materials technology in the second half of the year.

Investments

The Group's investments in the second quarter amounted to SEK 6.5 million (8.8) and to SEK 11.4 million (25.7) in January–June.

Cash fl ow

Cash fl ow from operating activities before working capital changes in the second quarter amounted to SEK 13.7 million (14.0) and SEK 9.9 million (12.5) for January–June. Working capital decreased in the second quarter by SEK 11.3 million (decreased by 26.0) but increasedin January–June by SEK 12.6 million (decreased by 56.1). The decrease in tied up working capital in the second quarter is mainly explained by advances received related to the ten heat exchangersfrom Berkeley in the United Kingdom.

Cash fl ow from operating activities after investments in the second quarter was SEK 18.5 million (31.2) and SEK –14.1 million (42.9) in January–June.

Financial position and liquidity

Cash and cash equivalents, including current investments, amounted to SEK 205.9 million (105.4). The improved liquidity situation is due to the bond program issued in the fi rst quarter. During the quarter amortization amounted to SEK 14.5 million(23.2) was amortized during the quarter. Interest-bearing liabilitiesat the end of the quarter were SEK 366.1 million (190.8). Net interest- bearing debt was SEK 135.3 million (85.4), which means that the net debt/ equity ratio increased to 28.9 (16.7) per cent.

Equity amounted to SEK 467.4 million (509.6).

Personnel

The average number of employees was 1,072 (1,109). The decrease refers to Germany.

Transactions with related parties

During the quarter a dividend of SEK 0.8 million was received from UK Nuclear Waste Management Ltd.

Parent company

Parent company operations comprise the co-ordination of tasks for the Group and assets mainly consist of shares in subsidiaries. Parent company sales in the second quarter amounted to SEK 3.3 million (3.0) and during January–June to SEK 6.5 million (6.0). The operating loss for the second quarter amounted to SEK –7.3 million (–6.6) and for January–June to SEK –14.8 million (–12.7). The profi t after fi nancial items in the second quarter amounted to SEK –13.8 million (–5.5) and for January–June to SEK –22.1 million (–11.3).

Cash and cash equivalents, including current investments, amounted to SEK 145.2 million (32.3) and interest-bearing debt to SEK 269.7 million (76.7).

Risks and uncertainties

Studsvik operates in an international, competitive market and is there by 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 produc tion facilities, but also for separate 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, or the withdrawal of licenses, which may result in shifts in delivery and production plans.

In all countries storage and fi nal disposal of nuclear waste are also subject to a strict regulatory framework, which for example stipulatescriteria that the waste must meet in physical and chemical terms when it is sent for fi nal disposal. Changes in this regulatory framework could mean that the business competitiveness of some of Studsvik's services would be changed.

Issues concerning nuclear technology may be subject to various expressionsof opinion and debate. In such a context it cannot be ruled out that opinion may emerge on matters that directly or indirectlyalter Studsvik's scope of business action.

The fi nancial risks and uncertainties mainly include fl uctuations in exchange rates and interest rates, and the company's ability to upholdcontracts for withdrawable lines of credit.

An overall analysis of the Group's risks and how they are dealt with is given in the Annual Report, which is available on the company's website. Apart from these risks, no further material risks are considered to have arisen.

Outlook

The need for electricity is increasing globally and electricity production from nuclear power will increase. New nuclear power capacity is being planned and built in many countries, in parallel with the modernization and output increase of nuclear power plants in severalof the countries where Studsvik operates. The German decisionto phase out nuclear power by 2022 has reduced demand for service and maintenance. Studsvik has adapted its organization to this, but the new market situation in research and development will require further adjustment. The German nuclear power reactors already taken out of operation as well as those to be taken out of operation by 2022 will be subject to decommissioning. When this process will start is as yet not clear. Decommissioning and demolition of nuclear facilities in other markets is expected to expand in the long term. Studsvik has a strong product portfolio for decommissioning and an established market position.

Accounting policies

Studsvik AB applies International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union. Material accounting policies and valuation principles are in accordance with those of the annual accountsfor the fi nancial year ended December 31, 2012. The new and revised standards and interpretations IAS 1 "Presentation of fi nancialstatements", IAS 19 "Employee benefi ts" and IFRS 13 "Fair value measurement" applicable from January 1, 2013 have not had any material effects on Studsvik's fi nancial statements. This interim report was prepared in accordance with IAS 34 and the Annual AccountsAct. The interim report for the parent company was preparedin accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board recommendation RFR 2 Accountingfor legal entities.

The interim report provides a fair review of the Group's and the Parent Company's operations, fi nancial position and performance and describessignifi cant risks and uncertainties faced by the Parent Company and the companies that are part of the Group.

The board of directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish AnnualAccounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with the Swedish Standardon Review Engagements SÖG 2410, Review of Interim Report 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 is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing, ISA, and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all signifi cant matters that might be identifi ed in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all materialrespects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish AnnualAccountsAct, regarding the Group, and with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Parent Company.

Fair value estimation

The tables below show fi nancial instruments at fair value on the basis of their classifi cation in the fair value hierarchy. The different levels are defi ned as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) on active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Other observable market data for the asset or liability other than quoted prices included in level 1, either direct (i.e. as quoted prices) or indirect (i.e. derived from quoted prices).

Level 3 – Data on the asset or liability not based on observable market data (i.e. unobservable inputs).

The Group's assets and liabilities measured at fair value as at June 30, 2013

Assets Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Financial assets at fair value through profi t or loss
– Unlisted shareholdings 9,429
– Capital insurance 12,015

– Non-current bank deposits 7,110
Derivatives used for hedging 3,829
Total assets 57,758 9,429

No transfers have taken place during the period between the different levels of the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of fi nancial instruments, traded in active markets, is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices from a stock exchange, broker, industrial group, pricing service or supervisory authority are easily and regularly available, and these prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions at arm's length. The Group does not currently hold such assets or liabilities.

Fair value of fi nancial instruments not traded on an active market (for example OTC derivatives) is established using valuation techniques. These techniques use market information as far as possible when this is available, while company-specifi c information is used as little as possible. If all material inputs required for fair value measurement of an instrument are observable the instrument is found at level 2.

In the cases where one or more material inputs are not based on observable market information the instrument concerned is classifi ed at level 3. Specifi c valuation techniques used to measure fi nancial instruments include:

• Quoted market prices or brokers' quotations for similar instruments.

• The fair value of interest swaps is calculated as the present value of estimated future cash fl ows based on observable yield curves.

• The fair value of forward exchange contracts is determined using quoted forward exchange rates at the balance sheet date, where the resulting value discounted to present value.

• Other techniques, such as estimating discounted cash fl ows, are used to determine the fair value of remaining fi nancial instruments.

The Group's policy is to report transfers into and out of levels of the fair value hierarchy as of the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer. The valuation techniques have not been changed during the period.

Changes for instruments at level 3 in 2013

Level 3
Opening balance 8,287
Acquisitions of shares
Gains recognized in the income statement 1,142
Closing balance 9,429
Change in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in the income statement (in the items Other operating
income and Other operating liabilities) relating to assets still held at the close of the period 165

The Group's share in holdings of various insurance companies in the nuclear power industry is found at level 3. The value of the Group's share is adjustedonce a year and then increases or decreases according to the company's percentage participation in the insurance companies' profi t or loss for the previousyear. The Group's holding in the insurance companies is denominated in EUR and therefore converted to the valid closing day price each month.
