The negative effects of the crisis in Ukraine and the related sanctions are becoming increasingly noticeable. The decrease in economic growth, failing oil prices, rising inflation, the falling ruble, increased interest rates, and reduced access to capital markets, have all contributed to a significant slowdown in the market of our products in Russia. The overall market for construction equipment in Russia fell by more than 25% in 2014, and by 45% in the fourth quarter. Despite this our own unit sales of new machines on the other hand dropped by less than 10%, as we continued to gain market share. · Because of the depreciation of the ruble, our revenue in the fourth quarter decreased by 15% compared to 2013 in reporting currency. In local currency, however, our revenue increased by almost 10%. EBITDA in the fourth quarter increased by 20% in reporting currency despite the falling ruble. · A positive event during the fourth quarter was the appointment of Ferronordic Machines as official dealer for Terex Trucks. The appointment added four models of rigid haulers to our offering and will significantly improve our penetration in the core earthmoving segment and extend our presence in light mining. · The existing fleet of Terex Trucks will also provide additional opportunities to increase our aftermarket sales, which are becoming increasingly important as the market for new machine sales is expected to continue to decline. · Looking into the future, it is clear that 2015 will be a challenging year. During the second half of the year we started to implement measures to adapt our costs to the changes in the market development. The implementation of these measures continues. About Ferronordic Machines Ferronordic Machines is the authorized dealer of Volvo Construction Equipment and Terex Trucks in Russia.
