Agreement to sell the American waste operations

On February 11 Studsvik signed an agreement with the American company EnergySolutions on the sale of the Erwin and Memphis operations as well as Studsvik's holding in Semprasafe with expected closing date on March 1, 2014. The purchaser is responsible for the results of the acquired operations from January 1, 2014. Studsvik will retain the engineering and consulting operations based in the USA that employ about 10 people, as well as the part-owned company TTT. Further, Studsvik will retain the patents for the THOR technology, with the exception of the patent in China, which will be transferred to EnergySolutions. Energy-Solutions will also be entitled to use the patents in the commercial marketin North America. The transaction will be for a purchase price of USD 23 million and will give a positive cash fl ow of SEK 88 million. The transferred operations are reported as operations for sale.

Sales

Sales in the fourth quarter were SEK 266.9 (261.1) million, an increase in local currencies of 2.5 per cent. In local currencies sales increased in Sweden, the United Kingdom, USA and Global Services, while they fell in Germany.Sales for the year were SEK 1,001.3 (1,012.9) million,an increase in local currencies of 13 per cent.

Profi t

The operating result for the fourth quarter was SEK –10.1 (12.6) million and for the year SEK 16.0 (15.2) million. The result improved in the fourth quarter in Sweden, the United Kingdom and Global Services,but deteriorated in Germany. The result for the fourth quarter was affected by non-recurring items both in the currentand the previous year. These amounted to SEK –28.3 (–8.7) million during the quarter and for the year to SEK –32.5 (–8.7) million. The items refer to restructuring in Germanyand the parent company.

The operating result for the fourth quarter, adjusted for non-recurring items, was SEK 18.2 (21.3) million and for the year SEK 48.5 (23.9) million. The operating margin in the fourth quarter, adjusted for nonrecurring items, was 6.8 (8.2) per cent and 4.8 (2.4) per cent for the year. Net fi nancial income was SEK –4.1 (–3.9) million in the fourth quarter

and SEK –18.8 (–13.8) million for the year.

The Group's tax for the fourth quarter was SEK 0.8 (–5.0) million and SEK –20.1 (–15.0) million for the year. Profi t/loss after tax for the fourth quarter was SEK –13.4 (3.7) million and SEK –22.9 (–13.6) million for the year.

Sweden

Sales in the fourth quarter increased to SEK 67.5 (66.2) million and were SEK 211.1 (191.6) million for the year. The operating result in the fourth quarter increased to SEK 18.6 (16.7) million and to SEK 45.3 (20.2) millionfor the year. The operating margin for the year was 21.5 (10.6) per cent.

The incineration facility operations developed well in the fourth quarter with high capacity utilization and sound profi tability. The produc tion volumefor the full year was at the same level as the previous year. Produc tion and profi tability increased in the fourth quarter and for the full year in the metal treatment facility. During the year Studsvikvolume reduced, decontaminated and recycled fi ve heat exchangers from the Berkeley facility in the United Kingdom, among other things, and fi nishedthe treatment of steam generators from Ringhals nuclear power plant in Sweden. Productivity enhancing activities took place in 2013 in both operational areas, which meant increased capacity for the incineration facility of about 10 per cent and eliminated some bottlenecks for the metal treatment operations, increasing output in 2013 by 4 per cent.

The order book was sound at the close of 2013, which will create the conditions for good capacity utilization in 2014.

United Kingdom

Sales in the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 74.1 (52.0) million, an increaseof 44 per cent in local currency. For the year sales were SEK 265.6 (219.3) million, an increase of 27 per cent in local currency. The operating result for the fourth quarter increased to SEK 3.7 (1.4) million and to SEK 21.3 (8.5) million for the year. The operating margin for the year amounted to 8.0 (3.9) per cent.

Production at the MRF decreased in the fourth quarter due to a number of unplanned stoppages, keeping the production volume for the year at the previous year's level. The capacity utilization of the consult ing opera tions was good and the earnings of UK Nuclear Waste Management, in which Studsvik holds a 15 per cent stake, improved. In 2013 Nuclear Waste Management contributed a share in earnings of SEK 7.6 (5.1) million. In April 2013 the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority extended the contract for UK Nuclear Waste Management's operating responsibility for LLWR Ltd for a further fi ve years.

The order book was strong both for waste management and the consulting operations at the close of 2013.

Germany

Sales in the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 61.3 (80.5) million, a decreaseof 24 per cent in local currency. For the year sales were SEK 271.4 (331.1) million, a decrease of 11 per cent in local currency. The operating result for the fourth quarter was SEK –19.5 (-4.9) million and SEK –23.5 (–6.7) million for the year. The operating result includes nonrecurring items of SEK –18.8 (–8.7) million in the fourth quarter and of SEK –23.0 (–8.7) million for the year. The operating margin, adjusted for non-recurring items, was –0.2 (2.1) per cent for the year.

A vigorous restructuring program was implemented during the year, reducing the number of employees in service and maintenance and administra tion by more than 80. The operations have been successively adapted from the shrinking maintenance market to the growing and more profi table market in engineering services and decommissioning. The action program implemented has had an effect in the form of lower costs.

Both for the fourth quarter and the full year engineering services had satisfactory capacity utilization and decommissioning in Germany, Belgium,the Netherlands and Switzerland continued as planned with good capacity utilization.

The order book was thinner at the close of 2013 than at the close of 2012, but is expected to enable satisfactory utilization of resources in 2014.

USA

Sales for the continuing operations in the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 5.4 (0.8) million. During the year sales were SEK 11.5 (13.0) million, a decrease of 9.3 per cent in local currency. The operating result for the fourth quarter was SEK –6.2 (–1.5) million and SEK –9.9 (–8.9) million for the year.

The capacity utilization of the consulting operations, which mainly targetcustomers in the USA, France and Japan with technology and license sales based on THOR technology, improved in the fourth quarter.

The Board has investigated the possibility of winding up substantial parts of the operations and on February 11, 2014 signed an agreement with EnergySolutions, selling the waste treatment parts of the operations, i.e. the Erwin and Memphis facilities. In parallel with this an action program was initiated in early 2013 to adapt the operations and improve profi tability in the USA segment. The program included reducing overheads, adapting the organization and product portfolio, production effi ciencymeasures and price increases. The engineering and consulting operations are assessed to have a stable and predictable development. The Board's assessment is that EnergySolutions is in a better position

than Studsvik to develop Erwin and Memphis in close interaction with its already established disposal and waste treatment operations, while through the transaction, Studsvik is eliminating a considerable fi nancial risk.

The order book is sound in the remaining engineering and consulting operations.

Global Services

Sales in the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 82.8 (74.2) million, an increaseof 12 per cent in local currency. Salesfor the year were SEK 270.7 (284.5) million, a decrease of 2 per cent in local currency.The operat ing result for the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 14.4 (8.2) millionand SEK 22.8 (26.1) million for the year. The operating margin was 8.4 (9.2) per cent.

Substantially reduced demand from Japan after Fukushima and reduceddemand in Germany in combination with low electricity prices impacted software sales negatively. Although sales increased in the fourth quarter, they decreased on a full-year basis. Despite the decline in sales, software operations had good profi tability, though not on a level with 2012, which was a record year in terms of sales and earnings.

There was a weak start to the year in materials technology due to postponement of deliveries from customers. However, capacity utilization improved in the fourth quarter and sales, earnings and profi tability improvedboth for the fourth quarter and the full year. An action programis in progress aimed at securing more even capacity utilization and improved profi tability. The measures focus on increasing the order book, avoiding delays in delivery and adapting costs.

Consulting operations developed in parity with the previous year, with a good infl ow of orders, satisfactory capacity utilization and profi tability.

The segment's order book was sound at the close of 2013, which will enable sound capacity utilization in 2014.

Investments (total operations)

The Group's investment in the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 5.0 (12.7) million and to SEK 20.1 (48.9) million for the year.

Cash fl ow (total operations)

Cash fl ow from operating activities before working capital changes in the fourth quarter amounted to SEK –69.3 (36.3) million and SEK –43.9 (–69.1) million for the year. Working capital decreased in the fourth quarter by SEK 91.0 (decreased by 0.5) million and decreased during the year by SEK 19.3 (decreased by 61.8) million. Cash fl ow from operating activities after investments in the fourth quarter was SEK 16.7 (24.1) million and SEK –44.7 (–56.2) million for the year. Cash fl ow from operations for sale is presented in Note 1.

Financial position and liquidity

Cash and cash equivalents, including current investments, amounted to SEK 151.4 (115.8) million. The improved liquidity situation is due to the bond program issued in the fi rst quarter and the fact that investments were kept at a low level. Interest-bearing liabilities at the end of the quarter were SEK 307.1 (230.3) million. Net interest-bearing debt was SEK 155.7 (114.5) million, which means that the net debt/equity ratio increased to 54.4 (23.9) per cent.

Equity amounted to SEK 286.3 (478.2) million.

Personnel

The average number of employees was 1,061 (1,104), of which 969 (1,012) in continuing operations. The decrease in continuing operations refers to Germany.

Transactions with related parties

During the quarter a dividend of SEK 2.4 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 fourth quarter amounted to SEK 3.3 (3.5) million and to SEK 13.1 (12.8) million for the year. Operating result for the fourth quarter was SEK –18.3 (–4.8) million and SEK –38.9 (–23.7) million for the year.

The Board of Directors proposes that no dividend be distributed in 2014.

Annual General Meeting and Annual Report

The Annual General Meeting will be held on Wednesday, April 23, 2014 at 16.00 at the World Trade Center, Klarabergsviadukten 70/Kungsbron 1, Stockholm. The Annual Report will be available on the company's website in week 12, 2014.

Risks and uncertainties

After the sale of the American operations the Group's total risk exposure has been reduced.

Studsvik operates in an international, competitive market and is therebyexposed 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, 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 subject to a strict regulatory framework, which for example stipulates criteria 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 indirectly alter Studsvik's scope of business action.

The fi nancial risks and uncertainties mainly include fl uctuations in exchangerates and interest rates, and the company's ability to uphold contracts 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 signifi cant risks are estimated to have arisen.

Outlook

The need for electricity is increasing globally. New nuclear power capacityis 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 decision to 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 may require further adjustment. The German nuclearpower 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. Nuclear power production in Japan is at present at a complete standstill, which has a negative effect in the short term on demand from Japan for services and products related to production and operation.

Accounting policies

Studsvik AB applies International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union. Material accounting policies and valua tion 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 nancial statements", IAS 19 "Employee benefi ts" and IFRS 13 "Fair value measure ment" applicable from January 1, 2013 have not had any materialeffects on Studsvik's fi nancial statements. This interim report was prepared in accord ance with IAS 34 and the Annual Accounts Act. The interim report for the parent company was prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board recommendation RFR 2 Accounting for legal entities.
