CONTINUED STRONG PERFORMANCE

"The second quarter was characterized by a continued strong performance. Organic sales increased 31 percent compared with the preceding year, which was strongly impacted by the pandemic. Compared with the second quarter of 2019, a period that was unaffected by the pandemic, organic sales increased 6 percent, and all three business areas contributed growth.

EBIT, excluding items affecting comparability, increased 58 percent, corresponding to an EBIT margin of 16.1 percent (12.5). Earnings were the company's best to date for a single quarter. Operating cash flow remained strong. The earnings improvement was enabled by higher volumes in all business areas, in combination with continued good cost control and effective price discipline.

In Trelleborg Industrial Solutions, most market segments and geographic markets reported an upturn in demand, which was particularly notable in the automotive industry and construction-related segments. It was also gratifying that sales growth was noted for the aerospace industry compared with both the previous quarter and a year earlier.

Organic sales in Trelleborg Sealing Solutions to general industry and the automotive industry grew significantly in all regions. Sales to the aerospace industry improved compared with the preceding quarter but remained lower year on year. However, clear signals from our customers in this segment indicate that the bottom has been reached and growth is expected to occur from the current levels going forward.

Trelleborg Wheel Systems also reported strong organic sales growth compared with the year-earlier period. Marked sales growth for tires for agricultural machinery was noted in most geographic markets. Sales of tires for materials handling and construction vehicles also displayed a significant upturn compared with the preceding quarter and the year-earlier period. However, the margin was negatively affected by the rapid and strong price rise for raw materials and partly by the sales mix. Price adjustments to customers were implemented and will gradually offset the higher raw materials prices.

As we look toward the second half of the year, we do so with confidence. Order intake during the quarter was at a record level in many of our businesses and the order books are well filled. The level of activity is high in most of our manufacturing units and price adjustments have already been implemented to address the rising raw materials prices. In the few segments in which we are still waiting for growth, such as the aerospace industry, the market conditions are looking more promising for the remainder of the year.

However, the situation remains strained in several stages of the supplier chain, which, combined with continued development of the pandemic, represents a certain risk. If the situation escalates, it could restrict sales growth in the short to medium term, but as it stands today, it is expected that it will be possible to manage the situation satisfactorily.

As usual, we continue to adapt to changed conditions. Our general assessment at present is that demand for the third quarter will be on a par with the high level of demand in the second quarter, adjusted for seasonal variations."

Peter Nilsson, President and CEO

MARKET OUTLOOK FOR THE THIRD QUARTER OF 2021

Demand is expected to be on a par with the second quarter of 2021, adjusted for seasonal variations. Uncertainty regarding the pandemic's impact on the coming quarters remains.

Market outlook from the interim report published on April 22, 2021, relating to the second quarter of 2021 Demand is expected to be better than in the first quarter of 2021, adjusted for seasonal variations.

Organic sales for the quarter increased by 23 percent year on year. Most market segments and geographic markets reported an upturn in demand, which was particularly notable in the automotive industry and construction-related segments. Minor growth in deliveries was also noted for the aerospace industry, although from low levels. Sales to train manufacturers and other rail and mass transit applications remained negative year on year, but are expected to gradually improve during the second half of the year.

EBIT and the EBIT margin increased year on year, due primarily to higher volumes and continued effective cost discipline. Exchange rate effects from the translation of foreign subsidiaries had a negative impact of SEK 14 M on EBIT compared with the year-earlier quarter.

Net sales per market segment and per geographic market are based on full-year 2020, adjusted for the new reporting structure. Historically, the percentages have not fluctuated significantly between the quarters and, accordingly, the full-year values for 2020 are a good approximation.

Organic sales for the quarter increased by 32 percent year on year. Strong demand for tires for agricultural machinery was noted in most geographic markets and measures to increase the rate of production were implemented. Sales of tires for materials handling and construction vehicles displayed a significant upturn compared with the preceding quarter and the year-earlier period.

EBIT and the EBIT margin increased as a result of higher sales volumes, structural measures implemented earlier and effective cost control. The margin was negatively affected by the rapid and strong price rise for raw materials and by the sales mix. Price adjustments to customers are expected to gradually improve profitability during the second half of the year. Exchange rate effects from the translation of foreign subsidiaries had a negative impact of SEK 16 M on EBIT.

Net sales per market segment and per geographic market are based on full-year 2020. Historically, the percentages have not fluctuated significantly between the quarters and, accordingly, the full-year values for 2020 are a good approximation.

SUSTAINABILITY

Polymers of the future. A new development group – Polymers for tomorrow – was formed within Trelleborg. It will analyze new, interesting materials

research and development. This group, comprising members from the business areas and the Group, will monitor potential strategic collaborations for bio-based materials, recycled materials and completely new polymer solutions in accordance with the principles of circularity.

Trelleborg's longstanding Safety@Work program aims to create a shared safety culture and to prevent occupational accidents and injuries at all of the Group's production units. With the aim of intensifying the positive trend, the program was relaunched under the theme "Team up for Safety," with local initiatives and workshops that further deepen risk awareness and preventive efforts.

RISK MANAGEMENT

Trelleborg serves a broad range of customers in a variety of market segments and niches. The business has a wide geographic spread. The Group has operations in about 50 countries, sales are conducted in just over 150 countries worldwide and manufacturing operations are carried out at more than 100 production sites. The business is diversified, which provides Trelleborg with an effective underlying risk spread.

Demand for the Group's products and solutions largely moves in line with fluctuations in global industrial production. Trelleborg focuses on maintaining an exposure to its market segments that has a good balance between early and late cyclical industry, meaning general as well as capital-intensive industry, the demands from which often balance each other out. Seasonal effects occur in the various market segments, particularly in the agricultural segment, which normally experiences higher demand for tires for agricultural machines during the first half of the year. For the Group, demand is usually higher in the first half of the year than in the second half of the year.

Long-term risks. Trelleborg has identified the relevant areas based on strategic risks, operational risks, regulatory compliance risks and financial risks that may result in damage or loss with substantial impact on the entire Group and therefore justify management of the risk exposure at Group level.

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

Short-term risks. The Coronavirus pandemic and the measures taken by various countries to prevent the spread of the virus have impacted the Group. The scope and length of this pandemic are uncertain, but are expected to affect Trelleborg further. The most important risks resulting from the current uncertain situation relating to the pandemic are:

  • Supply chain: The Group's access to components and the ability to transport finished products to customers could be affected.
  • Earnings and profitability: Trelleborg's revenue could be affected by individual countries' decisions on extraordinary measures and customer behavior resulting from the Coronavirus pandemic.

Key figures

Trelleborg employs a number of alternative performance measures related to financial position, including return on equity and capital employed, net debt, debt/equity ratio and equity/assets ratio. The Group deems the key figures useful for the readers of its financial reports as a complement for assessing the possibility of dividends, implementing strategic investments, and considering the Group's ability to meet its financial commitments. In addition, Trelleborg uses the cash-flow measurements of operating cash flow and free cash flow to provide an indication of the funds the operations generate to be able to implement strategic investments, make amortizations and pay returns to the shareholders. Trelleborg uses the performance metrics of EBITDA, EBITA and EBIT excluding items affecting comparability, which the Group considers to be relevant for investors seeking to understand its earnings generation before items affecting comparability.

Measurement techniques used to calculate fair value of level 2 assets

Level 2 derivatives comprise currency futures and interest swaps and are primarily used for hedging purposes, but also for trading. Measurement of the fair value of currency futures is based on the published forward rates in an active market and on the discounted contractual cash flows. Measurement of interest swaps is based on forward interest rates prepared on the basis of observable Swedish interest curves and discounting of the contractual cash flows.

Measurement techniques used to calculate fair value of level 3 assets

Interest-bearing non-current and current liabilities include earnouts according to contract in an amount of SEK 0 M (39) and SEK 42 M (34), respectively. An assessment of the most probable outcome was made and the present value of this calculated.

Disclosure on fair value of borrowings and other financial instruments

Financial interest-bearing liabilities, except for financial derivatives that adjust loans and earnouts according to contract, are recognized at amortized cost. Changes in interest-rate levels and credit margins create differences between fair value and amortized cost. Measurement at fair value would increase the Group's non-current loans by SEK 93 M. No remeasurement was made for current loans because the carrying amount is regarded as a good estimate of the fair value due to their short term.
