CEO’s comments

“In 2015 the Group further strengthened its position in the Americas operating segment through organic growth of 13%. Above all it was the important USA market that developed well. In the EMEA operating segment for the first time since 2011 we saw organic growth, which for the full year reached 3%. The completed programme of efficiency improvements contributed to strong profitability within the EMEA segment. The APAC operating segment was affected by weaker demand in 2015 and incoming orders in the region fell over the year by around 14%.

The final quarter of 2015 ended with good levels of invoicing in the Americas and EMEA, while APAC fell back compared to the corresponding period in 2014. Incoming orders in the quarter declined slightly compared with the same quarter last year, which is related to lower volumes in all operating segments.

The Group’s profitability developed strongly in 2015. The adjusted operating profit for the full year was SEK 263.1m (200.7), which meant an operating margin of 8.2% (7.1). Earnings per share climbed by around 60% to reach SEK 13.07 (8.05) for the full year.
