"Continued improvements"

"Trelleborg has once again reported a strong quarter. The operating profit and operating margin for the quarter was the highest to date for the Group. There was a positive trend in organic sales, with growth of 2 percent compared with the preceding year, driven by a slightly positive trend in Europe, particularly in general industry, and continued good growth in Asia.

We are continuing to strengthen the Group's positions within attractive and profitable market segments, primarily through organic initiatives. During the quarter, a small acquisition was made in offshore oil/gas, which has already made a positive contribution and further strengthened our position within this interesting segment. At the same time, work is progressing within our excellence and restructuring programs that continue to have a positive impact on earnings. We are pleased with the continued improvements, but remain far from satisfied. Our ambition is to continuously raise the bar and improve performance.

The European Commission's judgment for participation in a cartel relating to marine hoses was affirmed by the General Court of the European Union during the quarter. The case has been in progress since 2007 and although we do not share the Court's view of the prevailing legal status, the judgment means that we have come to the end of the processing of an issue that has been under way for many years and we can now look forward instead.

Market outlooks remain uncertain. However, our overall assessment is that demand is deemed to be on a par with the second quarter of 2013. As before, we are following economic developments closely and have a continued high level of preparedness to address fluctuating market conditions."

Peter Nilsson, President and CEO

Significant events during the quarter

Press releases

Acquisition of niche company in offshore oil & gas.

Trelleborg Offshore & Construction has signed an agreement for and finalized the acquisition of Ambler Technologies Ltd. The company develops and produces composite materials that create strictly specified buoyancy and insulation properties in applications used primarily in deep-sea environments. Annual net sales amount to approximately SEK 50 M. The acquisition strengthens Trelleborg's position in oil and gas exploration and extraction, particularly in relation to buoyancy modules for Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs).

Decision by the General Court of the European Union. In

2007, a subsidiary of the Trelleborg Group became subject of investigations regarding involvement in a marine hose cartel. In January 2009, the European Commission imposed a penalty of EUR 24.5 M on Trelleborg as a result of this matter. Although Trelleborg accepts the judgment in actual matter of fact, Trelleborg appealed the European Commission's decision to the General Court of the European Union on the grounds that the decision was partially deemed to diverge from Union law applicable at that time regarding interpretation of the limitation period. However, the General Court of the European Union affirmed the European Commission's judgment and penalty amount during the quarter.

The Trelleborg Group has made provisions for process and litigation costs as well as the penalty based on an analysis of the legal position that gave rise to appealing the European

Commission's decision. However, the judgment handed down by the General Court of the European Union entailed that previous provisions of about SEK 100 M were insufficient and the Trelleborg Group will therefore allocate an additional SEK 155 M, which will be recognized as a non-recurring cost in the quarter. The amounts have not yet affected the Group's operating cash flow.

The Trelleborg Group takes all violations of applicable law very seriously and an extensive action program has been in place for several years based on the Group's zero tolerance approach to corruption and breaches of competition law.

Other

Product innovations. A number of innovations from the Group were launched during the Offshore Technology Conference in Houston in the U.S.; a new tandem offloading system for liquid natural gas (LNG), a new method to handle the assembly of seals in-situ on FPSO platforms and a new generation buoyancy clamps for deep-sea environments.

Digital communications. The Group continues to focus on digital solutions as a way to increase service to existing customers and to reach new customers. For example, a new digital showroom was launched that displays the Group's products and solutions – from space to seabed.

Significant events after the close of the period

Press releases

No significant events were reported after the close of the period.

Other

Divestment of rubber compounding operation. After the close of the period, a rubber compounding operation was divested in the Netherlands. The unit generated sales of about SEK 100 M in 2012. The divestment is not expected to have a significant impact on the Group's sales and earnings.

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, deliver a basis for risk management decisions and enable assessment of the risks and of how they are managed.

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.

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 year for the 2012 fiscal year is estimated to be 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 not been subject to special review by the company's auditors.

Organic sales for the quarter declined by 6 percent year-onyear. Sales were influenced by the continued weak demand for printing blankets in Europe and by the weak Japanese yen (JPY). Sales of coated fabrics remained weak in Europe while the situation remained stable in North America. The effects of structural changes of 14 percent were attributable to the acquisition of the Brazilian manufacturer of printing blankets in the autumn of 2012.

Operating profit was on a par with the year-earlier period. Operating profit and the operating margin were positively impacted by the Brazilian acquisition, which was fully consolidated during the quarter. The quarter was also adversely impacted by the weak JPY and by lower sales.

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

The business area's investment in the world's largest facility for solvent-free production of printing blankets has been commissioned and will gradually reach full capacity during the year.

Organic sales for the quarter rose by 2 percent year-on-year. Sales in general industry, transportation and constructionrelated operations were level with the corresponding period in 2012. Most geographic markets reported positive organic growth.

Operating profit increased year-on-year due primarily to improved cost efficiency and a strong market position. Restructuring programs announced earlier had a positive effect on earnings. Exchange-rate effects from the translation of foreign subsidiaries had a negative impact of SEK 4 M on operating profit compared with the year-earlier period.

During the quarter, the business area and Saipem, a leading turnkey contractor in the oil and gas industry, presented a new LNG tandem offloading system. The system is expected to go to market in 2014 but the technology is already part of future project proposals.

Organic sales for the quarter rose by 9 percent year-on-year. Market activity remained high, primarily in offshore oil/gas. Project deliveries increased during the quarter compared with the year-earlier period, particularly in offshore oil/gas, which was attributable in part to delays of deliveries from previous quarters.

Operating profit rose compared with the corresponding period in 2012, primarily as a result of increased sales. The two companies – active in marine systems and offshore oil/gas – which were acquired during the first half of the year, contributed positively to operating profit during the quarter. Exchange-rate effects from the translation of foreign subsidiaries had a negative impact of SEK 6 M on operating profit compared with the year-earlier period.

Organic sales were mildly positive in Europe where the business area's most important market segment, general industry, experienced a stable trend despite the prevailing economy. Organic sales were slightly positive in Asia, while it declined in North America, partly due to customers' inventory adjustments.

negative impact of SEK 23 M on operating profit compared with the year-earlier period.

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.
