Second quarter 2012

"Trelleborg reports a strong quarter. The margins and earnings in the quarter, was Trelleborg's best to date. Furthermore, cash flow was strong. Sales growth was favorable in North America and in parts of Asia, while the trend in Europe was mixed. Organic growth was overall slightly negative, which is due to lower demand in parts of Europe. We continue to invest in emerging markets like Brazil, India and China to enhance our geographic balance, which to some extent continues to burden the result and increases the investment level during the quarter. Trelleborg have together with Freudenberg formed a joint venture within antivibration solutions for light and heavy vehicles, thus creating a global leader in this segment. The joint venture, TrelleborgVibracoustic, is since the beginning of the third quarter operational. The market outlook gives cause for caution.

Divestment of protective products operation. Trelleborg completed the divestment of an operation that produces high-technology protective products for professional users. The operation was part of Trelleborg Engineered Systems. The buyer is Ansell Limited. The divestment is a further step in the Trelleborg Group's strategy of focusing on selected segments. The divested operation had sales of approximately SEK 170 M during 2011. The purchase consideration amounted to approximately SEK 210 M and will lead to a capital gain in accounting terms of approximately SEK 130 M after tax. The parties have also reached a long-term agreement covering the supply of polymer-coated fabrics from Trelleborg.

Sale of property in Stockholm. At the beginning of 2007, Trelleborg entered into an agreement with Skanska for the sale of land in Södra Hammarbyhamnen, Stockholm, Sweden. A transfer payment of just over SEK 100 M was recognized in the first quarter of 2007. Due to the detailed development plan now coming into effect, an additional purchase consideration of SEK 203 M has been determined. The additional proceeds had a positive impact on cash flow and generated a capital gain after tax of SEK 203 M for Trelleborg.
