Second quarter 2010

President and CEO Peter Nilsson

"Demand during the quarter continued to improve in the majority of our segments and order book levels are favorable. We continue to improve our market positions and build a stronger and more efficient Trelleborg.

A strong organic growth of 21 percent and an efficient cost structure were some of the factors behind the exceptionally strong trend in the Group's margins. The EBITDA margin improved and was 13.3 percent for the quarter, compared to 8.6 percent in the year-earlier period, and 11.5 percent in the first quarter of 2010. At the same time we have had a good cash flow generation.

We will continue to focus the business and increase our presence in selected, profitable segments and in expanding geographic markets. As part of this process, we divested part of the Trelleborg Automotive business area during the quarter."

  • Net sales, including discontinued operations, increased to SEK 7,814 M (6,867). Profit for the period, including discontinued operations and accounting capital loss, increased to SEK 274 M (46).

Organic sales rose 21 percent. Exchange-rate effects were negative 7 percent and effects from structural changes were 0 percent.

Trelleborg's sales of input goods to the industrial sector were notably higher than the corresponding period in 2009 and the first quarter of 2010. There was a significant increase in light vehicles sales compared with the year-earlier period and an increase compared with the first quarter of 2010.

Operating profit increased to SEK 675 M (188) Earnings. Operating profit for the quarter increased to SEK 675 M (188). Items affecting comparability were an expense of SEK 50 M (expense: 91), see page 5.

Compared with the year-earlier period and the first quarter of 2010, operating margins improved as a result of volume growth and a more efficient structure.

Cost increases for raw materials, which have a somewhat delayed impact on earnings, had a slight negative effect on earnings during the quarter, mainly affecting Trelleborg Wheels Systems. Rising raw material prices are expected to have a greater impact in the latter half of 2010, mainly for Trelleborg Automotive. Continuous actions are being taken to offset this.

Exchange-rate fluctuations arising in the translation of earnings of foreign Group companies had a negative impact on operating profit of about SEK 30 M compared with the corresponding period in 2009.

The Group posted a net financial expense of SEK 50 M (expense: 106), corresponding to an average interest rate of 2.5 percent (3.9).

January – June 2010

Net sales. The Trelleborg Group's net sales for the first six months of 2010 amounted to SEK 14,104 M (13,058), up 8 percent compared with 2009. Organic sales rose 16 percent. Exchange-rate effects were negative 8 percent and effects of structural changes 0 percent.

Earnings. Operating profit for the first half of 2010 totaled SEK 1,153 M (269). Items affecting comparability amounted to an expense of SEK 77 M (expense: 105). Refer to page 5. The Group posted a profit before tax of SEK 1,034 M (32). Net profit amounted to SEK 739 M (211). Earnings per share amounted to SEK 2.70 (1.00).

Operating cash flow for the first half-year totaled SEK 832 M (1,399)

Cash flow. Operating cash for the first half-year 2010 totaled SEK 832 M (1,399), which is attributable to continued improvement earnings generation from the operation and the fact that working capital increased due to higher volumes with a negative impact on cash flow. In 2009, working capital was freed up with a positive cash-flow effect.

Capital employed and shareholders' equity. Capital employed amounted to SEK 19,622 M at the end of the period, compared with SEK 21,428 M at the same time in 2009, and was mainly influenced by exchange-rate effects and a continued low rate of investment in relation to depreciation/amortization.

Shareholders' equity at the end of the period was SEK 12,363 M, excluding minority shares. The equity/assets ratio was 42 percent (39).

Items affecting comparability

comparability during the quarter: Expense of SEK 50 M before tax and SEK 40 M after tax

Items affecting Items affecting comparability for the calculation of key figures. Items affecting comparability during the second quarter of 2010 totaling an expense of SEK 50 M (expense: 91) before tax were excluded from the calculation of the Group's operating key figures. Items affecting comparability comprise restructuring costs for previously announced and ongoing measures in all of the Group's four business areas. Remaining costs related to these measures totaling about SEK 125 M mainly pertain to Trelleborg Engineered Systems and will primarily be charged against the second half of 2010.

New initiated measures: Trade union consultations concerning the closure of Trelleborg Sealing Solutions' unit in Skellefteå, Sweden were initiated. Union consultations also commenced regarding the consolidation of parts of operations in Germany at the Trelleborg Automotive business area. If these new measures are implemented, costs are estimated at approximately SEK 200 M. No provisions were made for these costs during the first six months of the year.

In total, the above ongoing and new initiated measures, including expenses accrued to date during the year, will impact full-year earnings in 2010 by about SEK 300 M.

Jämförelses poster i kvartalet -xx MSEK före skatt och -xx M Focusing of operations through divestment of Fluid Solutions

Other information

Divestment of Fluid Solutions within the Trelleborg Automotive business area. As a further step in the strategy to focus the operation to selected segments, Trelleborg Automotive's Fluid Solutions business unit was divested to Bavaria Industriekapital AG, Munich, Germany.

In 2009, Fluid Solutions had sales of SEK 1,382 M and recorded a loss. The purchase price totaled about SEK 300 M based on estimated working capital levels at the date of divestment. Of the purchase price, slightly more than SEK 150 M comprises liquid assets, which are expected to reduce net liabilities during future quarters, and an additional purchase price conditional upon the future earnings performance of the divested unit. The additional purchase price has been recognized at a present value of SEK 77 M and as a financial receivable.

The divestment entailed an accounting capital loss of SEK 166 M after tax.

Market trend. Overall, demand from general industry improved sharply compared with the year-earlier period. Demand from project-related segments, offshore oil/gas and infrastructure construction, improved steadily and was slightly higher than in the year-earlier period.

Net sales. Net sales during the quarter were on a par with the corresponding period in 2009. Organic sales rose 6 percent, exchange-rate effects were negative 6 percent and effects of structural changes 0 percent.

Operating profit and cash flow. Compared with the preceding year, operating profit and operating margin for the quarter improved primarily due to a generally enhanced cost structure, which means that higher volumes are now being produced in an even more efficient structure.

Profit for the quarter has also benefited from increased sales in projectrelated operations.

A consolidation and focusing of production units is under way in a number of countries in Europe to further improve the business area's competitiveness and production structure.

The business area is continuing its efforts to further broaden its geographical base and, among other activities, is studying the possibility of establishing a production unit in Brazil for the offshore oil/gas segment.

The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico has led to some uncertainty regarding future deep-sea drilling. The accident is also expected to lead to intensified safety and quality demands on products and solutions in oil exploration at sea. This is in line with Trelleborg's offering of high-quality products and solutions.

Operating cash flow remained strong, principally as a result of an improvement in the generation of earnings and continued efficient management of working capital.

Market trend. During the quarter, global light vehicle production increased sharply compared with the corresponding period in 2009. Production in all geographic regions was higher, with the largest increase in percentage terms recorded in North America and Asia. A weakening is expected in Western Europe during the second half of the year.

Net sales. Net sales during the quarter increased 29 percent compared with the corresponding period in the preceding year. Organic sales increased 36 percent, exchange-rate effects were negative at 7 percent and effects of structural changes were 0 percent.

Operating profit and cash flow. There was a marked improvement in operating profit compared with the year-earlier period. Earnings were primarily improved by higher volumes and an improved cost structure resulting from implemented structural programs and other capacity and cost adaptations.

During the period, a further step was taken as part of the strategy to focus operations to selected segments with the divestment of the Fluid Solutions business unit. The business area will now focus more intently on strengthening its world-leading position in the field of noise and vibrationdamping solutions for the automotive industry.

The business area continued its geographic investment in markets outside North America and Western Europe through activities that included the establishment of a research and development center in Shanghai for the Chinese market.

During the period, the business area also approved the establishment of a new production unit in Nizhniy Novgorod, Russia, and the first serial deliveries from the unit will take place during the third quarter.

Trade union consultations were initiated regarding the consolidation of parts of operations in Germany (see page 5).

Operating cash flow remained strong in relation to the increase in sales, principally as a result of an improvement in the generation of earnings and continued efficient management of working capital.

A strongly improved capacity utilization in manufacturing units resulted in a highly favorable productivity trend.

The Asian markets continue to perform in an excellent manner. During the quarter, the decision was taken to make a strategic investment and establish a Center of Excellence in Bangalore, India, for certain production processes and industrial niche segments.

The consolidation of production units in Europe and the US continues. At the business area's unit in Skellefteå, Sweden, union consultations were initiated concerning a closure of the unit (see page 5).

Market trend. In the agricultural sector, demand was below the level reported in the second quarter of 2009, mainly due to the continued low rate of production of new agricultural equipment driven by the current situation of lower profits in the agricultural sector. Global demand for industrial tires from manufacturers of material-handling equipment improved steadily and was higher than in the corresponding period in 2009.

Net sales. Net sales during the quarter increased 2 percent compared with the preceding year. Organic sales grew 8 percent, exchange-rate effects were negative 6 percent and structural changes were 0 percent.

Operating profit and cash flow. Both second-quarter operating profit and operating margin declined compared with the year-earlier period, primarily due to a certain delay in compensation for increased costs for raw materials.

The business area's strong positions in large agricultural tires contributed to increased market shares during the quarter.

The range is continually being developed and expanded to further advance the business area's position as a complete supplier.

To strengthen its position for high-performance agricultural tires, the business area continued the development of performance, efficiency and quality.

Markets outside North America and Western Europe recorded positive performance for volume and earnings.

Operating cash flow was positively impacted by lower tied-up capital during the quarter, though not to the same extent as in the corresponding period in 2009.

1) In accordance with the proposal by the Board of Directors, with the purpose to render possible and facilitate the rights issue, the Annual General Meeting on April 23, 2009 resolved to reduce the share capital by SEK 2,078,217,003, without redemption of shares, changing the shares' quota value from SEK 25 to SEK 2. The Annual General Meeting also resolved on a bonus issue of SEK 2,078,217,003, as a measure to ensure that neither the restricted equity, nor the share capital, will be reduced.

2) Includes tax effect of 25,8 SEK M (26,3%), which is not affecting cash flow during this period.

Board's assurance and Auditors' report

This interim report presents a fair overview of the operations, position and earnings of the Parent Company and the Group and describes significant risks and uncertainty factors that the Parent Company and the companies included in the Group face. Board's assurance Trelleborg, July 21, 2010 Trelleborg AB (publ) Anders Narvinger Heléne Bergquist Hans Biörck Chairman of the Board Board member Board member Claes Lindqvist Sören Mellstig Nina Udnes Tronstad Board member Board member Board member Bo Risberg Mikael Nilsson Alf Fredlund Board member Board member Board member Karin Linsjö Peter Nilsson Birgitta Håkansson Board member Board member and Deputy Board member President and CEO Auditors report We have reviewed this report for the period January 1, 2010 to June 30, 2010 for Trelleborg AB. 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 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 Swedish Standard on Review Engagements SÖG 2410, Review of Interim Reports Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially smaller in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the Standards on Auditing in Sweden (RS) and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain such assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

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