CEO's Comments Operating profit +19 percent

We passed SEK 1 billion in quarterly sales, an important milestone for the business. over the quarter was 11 percent, while operating profit increased by 19 percent if the sale of a property last year is discounted. Developments in Norway, Denmark and Russia were especially satisfactory. We have completed our major investments in our central production facilities Growth r facilities.

The market

During the period, we recorded positive developments in the Nordic region, where the Danish market in particular was buoyant. The Norwegian market also growth. Our Systemair subsidiaries in Norway have beaten sales records for two months in a row. In Western Europe, the northern part is stable but results in the southern areas were considerably weaker. The overall outcome was minor growth in the region. In North America, the market remained weak. Sales remained on the same level as last year. In the Other markets region, sales during the period declined substantially, compared to the preceding year. The Indian market is weak, with long delays in payment. As a result, we halted deliveries to a number of customers and projects. showed strong

Products and product development

Part of the reason why we can report organic growth again for this period is that we focus consistently on product development. We are continuing to present and launch new products, enabling us to establish a base for increasing our market shares and driving up growth. In September, part of the EU Directive on Ecodesign was presented by the EU Commission's consultants. This advocates exhaust and supply air ventilation with energy recovery as the best solution for energy buildings, and also views the ventilation industry as a growing market in Europe. This is, of course, in our favour, as we offer one of the widest arrays of energ products and solutions in the market. n s ust energy-efficient energy-efficient

Investments and acquisitions

We have completed the major investment programmes launched in the spring. The capacity expansion in Skinnskatteberg, Sweden, was extensive at both production facilities, and the machine investments and relocations in Denmark and Lithuania were also completed.

These measures deliver both improved efficiency and increased capacity. During the past quarter, the ongoing investments temporarily led to slightly lower production efficiency, as well as somewhat higher costs in companies concerned. the

In October, we acquired the Indian company IAPL, which manufactures air handling units for the Indian market. Local production of air handling units will give us access to more, and bigger, construction projects. We will be coordinating our operations at the industrial facility in the Greater Noida Ecotech Park, which facility was part of the acquisition. We will alsobuild up an R&D Center, for which planning of the construction process h begun. er, construction projects. We will build has already

During the quarter, we made a acquisition, in the shape of Kryotherm's operations in Piteå, northern Sweden. A pioneer in heat pumps, the company will bring both products and know comfort cooling segment into our ng complementary know-how in the business.

Cautiously optimistic outlook for year as a whole

As a result of our strong second quarter, despite the turbulence of the markets, we take an optimistic view of the current year of operations. The business model of keeping a majority of our products in inventory for prompt delivery is continuing to deliver good results. We also succeeded in maintaining our gross margin at a satisfactory level during the period. In other respects, I can only join in with the chorus of all other business leaders in saying that forecasting is unusually difficult at the present time. ucts
