"Continuing stable performance"

"Trelleborg has once again reported a favorable quarter. The underlying operating profit grew strongly and the corresponding margin was the highest to date for a single quarter. Organic sales rose 5 percent year-on-year. The majority of geographic markets displayed positive organic growth and most of Trelleborg's market segments performed favorably.

"Our continuous improvement efforts, combined with the strong market positions we command, have created a strong and stable base upon which we can generate value. The increased sales volumes in the quarter yielded high margins, from both an historical and seasonal perspective. During the quarter, we completed a technology acquisition that strengthens our offering in the growing offshore natural gas market. The pace of innovation remains high in the Group.

"Trelleborg recorded an unusually positive third quarter, which deviated to a certain extent from the seasonal variations normally experienced. This was partially attributable to favorable project deliveries that were non-recurring in nature. For the fourth quarter, our collective assessment is that demand will once again follow historical seasonal variations, albeit from higher levels in relation to past years. As before, market outlooks remain uncertain. We are monitoring economic developments closely and have a continued high level of preparedness to address fluctuating market conditions."

Peter Nilsson, President and CEO

Market outlook for the fourth quarter of 2013

Demand is expected to be on a par with the third quarter of 2013, adjusted for seasonal variations.

Risk management

Trelleborg focuses continuously on identifying, evaluating and managing risks arising in the Group's companies, business areas, business units and processes. Trelleborg has an Enterprise Risk Management process (ERM process) that aims to provide a Group-wide overview of Trelleborg's risks and as well as a basis for decisions of how to handle and follow up the risks management.

The principal risks and uncertainties currently faced by the Group relate to the economy's effect on demand, supply and price movements of raw materials and components, structural programs and financial business environment risks.

For further information regarding the Group's risks, risk exposure and risk management, refer to the Trelleborg Annual Report and www.trelleborg.com.

This report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and the applicable rules of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The interim report for the Parent Company has been prepared in accordance with Chapter 9 of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, Interim Reports. The accounting policies applied by the Group and Parent Company correspond to the accounting policies applied in the preparation of the most recent annual report, with the exception of that stated below.

New and amended standards applied from January 1, 2013

The Group applies the new and amended standards described below as of January 1, 2013.

IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement aims to reduce complexity by providing a more precise definition of fair value and more uniform disclosure requirements. The Group's assessment is that the only effect of this new standard is the expanded supplementary disclosures.

IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements has been amended in relation to Other comprehensive income. The main change is the requirement of categorizing the items recognized in Other comprehensive income on the basis of whether or not such items will be reclassified to profit or loss in later periods. This has resulted in the addition of new headings under the statement of comprehensive income.

IAS 19 Employee Benefits has been amended. The amendment implies the discontinuation of the corridor approach, that all actuarial gains and losses are now to be recognized in Other comprehensive income as they arise and that costs for services rendered in previous periods will be recognized on an ongoing basis. According to the new standard, instead of interest expenses and expected return on plan assets, income/expense will be recognized net by applying a discounting rate equivalent to that used to discount the pension liability, to the Group's pension debt. Costs for the year's pension vesting and income/expenses is recognized in operating profit. The amended standard came into force on January 1, 2013 with retroactive application.

The transition effects on the balance sheet, shareholders' equity, income statement and Other comprehensive income for the 2012 comparative year are as follows:

  • Shareholders' equity at January 1, 2012 was negatively impacted by SEK 173 M net after tax as a result of the recognition of unrealized actuarial losses and taking into account special employer's contributions and an increase in deferred tax assets. Accordingly, this entailed an increase of SEK 248 M in pension provisions and an increase in deferred tax assets of SEK 75 M.
  • The impact on profit for the 2012 fiscal year has been estimated as marginal and the comparative figures have not, therefore, been restated. Other comprehensive income for 2012 was impacted by a revaluation of SEK 16 M.
  • The total negative effect on shareholders' equity at December 31, 2012 amounted to SEK 157 M. Accordingly, the new policy resulted, at the end of 2012, in an increase of SEK 231 M in pension provisions and of SEK 74 M in deferred tax assets, compared with earlier policies.

This report has been subject to special review by the company's auditors.

Review report

Introduction

We have reviewed this report for the period January 1, 2013 to September 30, 2013 for Trelleborg AB (publ). 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.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with the Swedish Standard on Review Engagements SÖG 2410, Review of Interim Report 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 less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing, ISA, and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain 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.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not 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.

Organic sales for the quarter declined by 4 percent year-onyear. The weak market trend for printing blankets continued during the quarter, particularly in Europe. Market development in North America was generally weak. The trend was positive in all geographic markets for printing blankets to packaging applications. A favorable sales trend was noted for coated fabrics in Europe, while negative growth was reported in North America. The effects of structural changes of 16 percent were attributable to the autumn 2012 acquisition of the Brazilian manufacturer of printing blankets, which has performed in line with expectations.

During the quarter, operating profit was negatively impacted by the introduction of new production technology. Furthermore, operating profit was adversely impacted by

exchange-rate movements and costs attributable to a settled dispute related to a specific project delivered a number of years ago. Exchange-rate effects from the translation of foreign subsidiaries had a negative impact of SEK 1 M on operating profit compared with the corresponding period in 2012.

With the objective of increasing competitiveness, the business area has initiated activities after the close of the period to restructure and focus its North American operation.

The change activities in the business area are continuing, aimed at increasing profitability to the previously communicated level.

Organic sales for the quarter increased by 6 percent year-onyear. All geographic markets, except for South America, reported positive organic growth for the quarter. Growth in Europe was attributable to a favorable trend in the general industry and light vehicles market segments. The aerospace and general industry segments accounted for the growth in North America. The light vehicles market segment is the main growth driver in Asia.

Operating profit increased compared with the corresponding period in 2012, mainly due to higher sales. Exchange-rate effects from the translation of foreign subsidiaries had a negative impact of SEK 7 M on operating profit compared with the year-earlier period.

The business area secured a contract for composite bearing material, which is used in turbines, to be used in the renovation of the U.S.'s largest hydroelectric power station. Furthermore, three new sealing solutions to facilitate more efficient and safer extraction of oil/gas in deep-sea environments were successfully introduced in the market during the quarter.

It was decided to invest in a new facility in France for the manufacture of seals and components for the aerospace industry. The facility will replace an old production unit with the aim of further strengthening the business area's position in the market segment.

Organic sales for the quarter increased by 4 percent year-onyear. An increase in agricultural tire sales was noted compared with the year-earlier period. Organic sales of tires for materials handling vehicles remained weak during the quarter, particularly in Europe. However, sales within that segment increased as a result of a previously completed acquisition.

Operating profit increased compared with the year-earlier period, primarily on account of higher sales and efficient cost management. Earnings for the quarter were positively impacted by the U.S. industrial tire operation acquired at the

end of 2012. Exchange-rate effects from the translation of foreign subsidiaries had a negative impact of SEK 3 M on operating profit compared with the year-earlier period.

The business area initiated a global launch of solid specialty tires for a range of vehicles used in such applications as construction and civil engineering, underground mining and waste management, and also launched a new tire solution for sugarcane harvesters.

1) TrelleborgVibracoustic was formed in July 2012. The proforma figures are based on a combination of previous consolidation of entities within Trelleborg Automotive

and Vibracoustic.

Net sales for the quarter rose by 6 percent year-on-year. Strong sales in primarily China, North America and Brazil contributed to organic sales increasing by 9 percent, which significantly outperformed the underlying market. Compared with the year-earlier period, global light-vehicle production was slightly positive during the quarter, driven mainly by Asia and North America. The trend in Europe remained negative in relation to the year-earlier period.

Operating profit and the operating margin were higher year-on-year. Increased volumes, some minor synergy effects and enhanced production efficiency had a positive impact on earnings.

Operating cash flow was positive for the quarter, primarily as a result of effective working-capital management.

In addition to the information presented above, restructuring projects aimed at enhancing competitiveness and generating future synergies in TrelleborgVibracoustic were initiated during the quarter. As part of this process, it was decided to introduce area specific Centers of Excellence, which will affect the European operations. Moreover, restructuring projects were initiated in Sweden and Hungary, in order to enhance structural efficiency. In total, these projects impacted the operating profit for the quarter by approximately EUR 22 M.

TrelleborgVibracoustic is reported as an associated company in Trelleborg's financial accounts and is recognized according to the equity method.

Valuation techniques used to derive Level 2 fair values

Level 2 derivatives comprise forward foreign contracts and interest rate swaps and are used mainly for hedging purposes but also for proprietary trading. These forward foreign exchange contracts have been fair valued using forward exchange rates that are quoted in an active market. Interest rate swaps are fair valued using forward interest rated extracted from observable yield curves. The effects of discounting are generally insignificant for Level 2 derivatives.

Disclosure of fair value for debt and other financial instruments measured at amortized cost in the balance sheet

All debt bears variable interest and the recognized amounts for interest-bearing liabilities are deemed to correspond to their fair value. For other financial instruments the recognized amounts are also deemed to correspond to their fair value.
