Interim report July - September 2013

"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,” says Peter Nilsson, President and CEO. Continuing operations Net sales for the third quarter of 2013 totaled SEK 5,306 M (4,961). Organic sales increased by 5 percent (decrease: 2). Effects of structural changes represented a positive 4 percent growth (0) and exchange-rate effects had a negative 2 percent impact (negative: 2). Operating profit, excluding items affecting comparability and the participation in TrelleborgVibracoustic, rose by 30 percent to SEK 688 M (528), equivalent to an operating margin of 13.0 percent (10.6), the Group’s highest to date for a single quarter. Items affecting comparability amounted to an expense of SEK 101 M (expense: 12), which comprised restructuring costs, and is in line with the information previously communicated. Operating cash flow amounted to SEK 763 M (625). Operating profit for the associated company TrelleborgVibracoustic, excluding items affecting comparability, amounted to EUR 31 M (20), corresponding to an operating margin of 7.4 percent (5.1). Trelleborg’s participation in TrelleborgVibracoustic, excluding items affecting comparability, amounted to SEK 133 M before tax (78). Including items affecting comparability of 108 MSEK, the participation was SEK 25 M before tax (72). Group in total Consolidated net sales amounted to SEK 5,306 M (4,965). Operating profit for the quarter increased to SEK 612 M (591).
