The first quarter 2010
President and CEO Peter Nilsson
"The first quarter of 2010 is showing that we are building a stronger Trelleborg and that we are constantly moving towards growing and profitable segments.
The implemented action programs continue to give positive effects and we are gradually growing in to a more efficient structure.
The increasing volumes during the quarter give a good leverage resulting in higher margins. The EBITDA margin improved and was 11.3 percent for the quarter, compared to 5.0 percent during the year-earlier period, or 10.4 percent in the fourth quarter of 2009.
The demand scenario remains uncertain. We now have greater flexibility to swiftly address market movements. Our priorities include continuing our efforts to improve the Group's structure and geographic balance, increasing synergies and continue to develop the product portfolio."

The Group's key figures
January – March 2010
Net sales. The Trelleborg Group's net sales for the first quarter of 2010 amounted to SEK 7,054 M (6,877), up 3 percent. Organic sales rose by 12 percent. Exchange-rate effects were negative 9 percent and effects from structural changes were 0 percent.
Trelleborg's sales of input goods to the industrial sector were higher than the corresponding period in 2009 and the fourth quarter of 2009. There was a significant increase in light vehicles sales compared with the year-earlier period and the fourth quarter of 2009. Within project-related segments – offshore oil/gas and infrastructure – and within the agriculture segment, sales were lower than the corresponding period in the preceding year and the fourth quarter of 2009.
The Group continued to improve its market positions and to establish a better geographic balance through further investments in markets outside North America and Western Europe, including India and Russia.

Operating profit increased to SEK 501 M (46)
Earnings. Operating profit for the quarter increased to SEK 501 M (46). Items affecting comparability were an expense of SEK 29 M (expense: 17), see page 4.
Compared with the year-earlier period and the fourth quarter of 2009, operating margins improved as a result of lower cost levels and increased volumes. The Group now has a more efficient structure, offering favorable leverage on increased volumes.
Cost increases for raw materials, which impact earnings with a certain delay, had a limited effect on earnings during the quarter. The prices of certain raw materials rose sharply during the period and looking ahead, a continued volatile upward price trend is expected.
Exchange-rate fluctuations arising in the translation of earnings of foreign Group companies had a negative impact on operating profit of about SEK 50 M compared with the corresponding period in 2009.
The Group posted a net financial expense of SEK 70 M (expense: 139), corresponding to an average interest rate of 3.3 percent (4.3).
Profit before tax amounted to SEK 431 M (loss: 93). Net profit totaled SEK 292 M (65). The tax rate was 32 percent. Earnings per share totaled SEK 1.05 (0.35).
Return on shareholder's equity 5.2 percent (3.6)
Return. Return on shareholders' equity for the most recent twelve-month period amounted to 5.2 percent (full-year 2009: 3.6), while the return on capital employedfor the same period was 6.0 percent (full-year 2009: 3.6).

Free cash flow was negative SEK 401 M (pos: 26)
Cash flow. Operating cash flow for the period was SEK 8 M (478), impacted by an increase in working capital due to higher volume, which was balanced by improved generation of earnings and a continued low level of investment.

Debt/equity ratio was 69 percent
Net debt. Net debt increased SEK 36 M compared with the preceding quarter and amounted to SEK 8,405 M as a result of a negative free cash flow, which was largely offset by the effects of a stronger Swedish krona. The debt/equity ratio was 69 percent (122).

Items affecting comparability
Items affecting comparability during the quarter: Expense of SEK 29 M before tax and expense of SEK 22 M after tax
Items affecting comparability for the calculation of key figures. During the first quarter of 2010, items affecting comparability totaling an expense of SEK 29 M (expense: 17) 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 programs in all four of the Group's business areas. Remaining costs totaling about SEK 150 M for programs announced up until the first quarter of 2010 mainly pertain to Trelleborg Engineered Systems and will primarily be charged against the remaining period of 2010. The Group continuously reviews opportunities to further improve the production structure.

Market trend. Demand for input goods for the industrial sector generally improved compared with the year-earlier period, however the long winter resulted in lower demand from the construction industry in Scandinavia. Demand within offshore oil/gas gradually improved within certain sub segments during the period while demand within infrastructure was below the level recorded in the corresponding period in 2009.
Net sales. Net sales during the quarter declined 11 percent compared with the corresponding period in 2009. Organic sales were -3 percent, exchangerate effects were negative at 8 percent and effects of structural changes were 0 percent.
Operating profit and cash flow. Operating profit and operating margin for the quarter improved compared with the preceding year due primarily to a more cost-efficient structure. The decline in sales for project-related operations caused a slight negative impact on the product mix.
To enhance competitiveness and the production structure, a concentration of the number of production units in some countries in Europe is in progress. The business area continuously reviews opportunities to make further improvements to the production structure.
Cash flow was weaker during the quarter compared with the year-earlier period, mainly as a result of increase in tied up working capital driven by volume increases at the end of the period in both sales and production.

The business area is now continuing to aggressively strengthen its position as the largest supplier in global terms of antivibration products to the light vehicles industry by establishing proprietary production in Nizhny Novgorod in Russia. The first deliveries are scheduled to take place around mid-2010 (see separate press release dated April 20, 2010).

Market trend. In the agricultural sector, there was a marked decline compared with first quarter in 2009 due to a sharp downturn in the production of new agricultural equipment. Global demand for industrial tires from manufacturers of material-handling equipment improved somewhat compared with the corresponding period in 2009.
Net sales. Net sales during the quarter declined 24 percent compared with the preceding year. Organic sales were -18 percent, exchange-rate effects were negative 6 percent and structural changes were 0 percent.
Operating profit and cash flow. Despite a sharp drop in volumes, the business area maintained its operating margin for the quarter at the same level as in the preceding year. Contributing factors included a positive product and channel mix, a clear focus on core customers and a flexible cost structure, where recently implemented focusing of production of industrial tires to Sri Lanka has started to yield results.
To strengthen its position in high-performance agricultural tires, further investments were initiated in a new, innovative production process at the production unit in Tivoli, Italy, that will generate improved performance, efficiency and quality.
The business area continues to expand its product-range to further strengthen the position as a supplier of complete solutions.
Cash flow was weaker during the quarter compared with the corresponding period in 2009, primarily due to a rise in tied-up capital resulting from increased sales volumes towards the end of the quarter and inventory levels that not yet have been adjusted to existing volumes.
